Chapter 875 Devilsbane Dagger

?875 Devilsbane Dagger

Compared to the enormous throne, Lex seemed like an ant. The devil sitting in the throne seemed both grand and menacing as it looked down on Lex. The surrounding darkness wrapped itself around the devil's face, so only his eyes were visible, but the rest of his figure could easily be seen, as if it was fully illuminated.

The devil clearly seemed to enjoy the feeling of Lex looking up at it, and even leaned forward so that it could bring its face right above Lex, forcing him to arch his neck even further. But while the devil reveled in his sense of superiority, Lex was indifferent to the size difference.

Once one had stood atop a dragon, the size of things hardly seemed to matter anymore.

"You..." the devil began to say, stretching out his words as if building anticipation. "...are distracted."

Outside the mind of the devil Lex was invading, the devil had quietly and secretly healed! Although he was not back in his prime, it was enough for him to move his tail.

The tip of his was sharper than a sword, even, and stabbed Lex right in the heart... or tried to. All it managed to do was ruffle his suit a bit.

Within the mindscape, Lex continued to look at the devil indifferently. Clearly his plan did not have the effect he sought.

Devilsbane Dagger would not have worked on the zealot or the statue which was why Lex had not used it earlier, but the devils who had incredibly resilient bodies were prime targets for it.

He turned back to Z, who was still sending away his remaining allies.

"We have sent away anyone we could, and we can thwart the enemies by sending a powerful rocket their way. Now the only thing left is to figure out how we are going to access the place that you felt a connection from. Any ideas?"

"I can feel it. The place is nearby, but it's hidden or... or just out of reach. Every time space tears I can feel its entrance, but the space tears always open up to the Void. The opening is somewhere in the cracks, where space is splintered, but not quite all the way to the Void."

Z's explanation reminded him of the sensation he had earlier,where he felt that the space here was stretched over something, as if to hide it.

"Although I understand what you are saying, I have no way of reaching the place. Read the manual I gave you and see if you can figure something out. Since you're the only one who can feel the connection, you are the only one who can open up a door to that place. I'll protect you as long as I can, but I don't know how long that'll actually be."

In the distance, he could see that more and more divine energy was accumulating in one point: the statue. The devil besieging the zealot had not slowed the accumulation of divine energy in any way. Instead, it had sped up the process, no doubt due to the collateral damage from their fight.

As if sensing that the situation was about to get much worse, Lex took off his blazer and dropped it on Z's shoulders.

"Here, put this on."

The young man was quite strong, but was not strong enough to casually tolerate the defensive blazer that had been designed from Lex. His knees buckled and he fell to the ground, but fortunately, he had caught himself before he face planted.
