Chapter 178

In Franklin Hall, not only the Protoss Empire dignitaries were stunned, but even High Sage Isis was dumbfounded.

Sigrid, the wielder of the [Primal Tablet - Basic] who was skilled in hand-to-hand combat, was a demon-type summoner?

Was she using her entire life to deceive Askesan, and the moment of the decisive battle would be the moment she revealed her true function?

Although Isis had never seen the images of these three demon summons, she inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu.

Inside the battlefield.

"Sigrid! Where did you get these three epic-level summons?!"

Askesan's gray figure retreated violently, creating distance and questioning Sigrid.

Others didn't understand Sigrid's situation, but he couldn't be clearer.

Because he personally applied the seal.

Even at this moment, he could confirm that the seal firmly locked Sigrid's attributes!

Sigrid could never be a summoner. She was forced to become a summoner under this seal, and her body was still extremely weak.

But at this moment.

The three Rank 8 demons, like three high walls, blocked all paths between him and Sigrid.

What Askesan feared even more was that—taking a step back, with Sigrid's locked state, if her fragmented magic power wanted to support three Rank 8 epic summons, it would be exhausted instantly. The only chance of victory was a quick battle, not allowing them to prepare for battle so easily.

Unless.

These three demon summons didn't even need to consume magic power, defying the norms of magic cards and being able to operate on their own!

On the other side of the battlefield.

After the three figures set up an absolutely solid defensive barrier around Sigrid, they finally looked at Askesan in the distance.

"Queen, please stand behind me."

"Although I don't want to see the King possessed by anyone, I would rather see the King become a couple with a woman like you than be defiled by that useless demon."

"A beauty deserves to be possessed by the strong, and Miss Sigrid, I believe you are the strong person who can obtain the King."

The three great demon clans paid their respects to Sigrid.

"Alright, alright, you three, please go and deal with the thief first."

Sigrid was rarely made a little embarrassed. Covering her blushing cheeks, she waved her right hand, signaling the three great demon clans to take care of Askesan first, and other matters could be discussed later.

Sigrid had been watching Lanqi make cards in the card crafting workshop these days, so she naturally knew what the Holy Son had done.

Previously, when Lanqi went to the Hellram Endless Library, he had seen a Rank 4 spell card called [Forbidden Curse Seal] in the catalog of the pink sacred country's collection. The effect was that, with the other party's consent, a temporary subordinate contract could be signed with the other party, turning them into their familiar and giving them an attribute bonus equal to one-eighth of their own.

In essence, it was a curse-type magic card with a small amount of sealing principle.

Although it seemed a little meaningless, if it was paired with some summoner spells that could "grant familiars a strong bonus" and "transfer luck to familiars," it could exert a lot of usefulness.

However, accepting this forbidden curse was also quite dangerous. After becoming a familiar with the nature of a summon, they might be subject to some instant-death effects, and there was also the risk of being further controlled.

But the spell itself had the same wonderful effect as the [Poem of Compassion] and [Poet of Great Love], which contained the "forbidden principle of transforming magic cards into physical beings."

After Lanqi brought the Poet of Great Love to see this [Forbidden Curse], and selected it, the Poet of Great Love easily disassembled and reset it, using the principle of its own birth to cooperate with Lanqi to process it into a new spell—

[DiDi Hitman]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Purple Rare]

[Rank: 4]

[Effect: With the target's consent, a temporary subordinate contract can be signed with a demon clan, turning them into their own familiar summon, and establishing a weak mental connection with them.]

[Note: Fellow countrymen have awakened, we cannot sleep, great love and unity, please guide us to victory.]

The purpose of this card was to use a great summoning technique in a one-on-one fight to shake the demon army over to beat up the opponent!

If it was paired with the encapsulation effect of the [Nuclear Fusion Wolf], it could even seal the summoned demon back into a card similar to the [Poet of Great Love].

A summon with self-awareness, such as the [Poet of Great Love], could still decide whether to summon or not based on its own will, even after the mandatory sealing time was over.

So, before today's election of the bishop, her Holy Son had her sign contracts with the disguised demon guardians Antanas, the law-breaking Xinnora, and the truth-seeking Planai, and then used [Nuclear Fusion Wolf] to seal the three familiar summons into magic card form.

On the other side of the death arena.

"Sigrid! You shameless, despicable villain!! Is this really a one-on-one fight?!! You don't deserve to be a Cardinal Bishop!"

In Askesan's roar, his mentality obviously underwent a drastic change.

In his eyes, the original confidence and contempt disappeared without a trace, replaced by complex emotions mixed with fear, confusion, and anger.

He never expected that Sigrid, the Valkyrie known for her unparalleled martial power, would suddenly transform into a summoner who controlled demons.

Askesan couldn't understand what Sigrid was talking about with those three demons, but he only felt that Sigrid in the distance, her cheeks flushed and looking like a young girl, made him want to go crazy!

"You don't need to be a ghost who understands, Askesan. Actually, from the very beginning, the original intention of everything that person did was just to observe your tablet, but because of me, I disrupted his plan..."

Sigrid seemed to think of someone, and the more she thought about it, the more obvious the smile on the corner of her mouth became.

"Now, whether you want to or not, I have to help him fulfill this wish."

The way she looked at Askesan was no longer like looking at an opponent with a deadly feud, but like seeing a perfect gift in a department store glass window.

Even at the other end of the death arena, from a long distance, Askesan felt the sour smell of love.

Are you really Sigrid, the Cardinal Bishop of hegemony who is said to be unparalleled in the world?

Damn it, if you're going to fight, then fight, don't put on a show of affection here!

What do you take me for?

Someone who connects you in marriage?!

Askesan now finally understood a little why Sigrid said thank you to him before the death arena began.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, almost to the point of madness.

In the Congressional Franklin Hall, the voices of the empire's dignitaries rose and fell like waves.

Lanqi folded his arms and looked at the death arena.

Although he didn't know what the three great demon clans were saying to Sigrid, he always felt that they seemed to be saying something that made Sigrid very embarrassed.

Sure enough, he would have to tell them three later to be more respectful to Sigrid. After all, in human years, she was considered an elder.

In the center of the death arena, the three leisurely figures slowly approached Askesan, like a hunting game they had been waiting for for a long time, and the feast was finally beginning.

Askesan had nowhere to retreat, so he could only prepare to fight. The probing spells he had casually thrown out were either blocked by the barrier, or directly cut open, or the abyss aura permeated the ground, eroding his defensive barrier.

In this situation, even if Askesan's sealing technique was strong, it was difficult to fully exert its true power to resist the all-round and no-dead-angle siege of the three magic demons.

Askesan gasped, adjusting his breathing and observing the movements of the three demons.

Although the three demons had not yet used their true abilities, Askesan had roughly figured out their combat power and functions.

Later, he could still fight them head-on and fight back and forth for a long time.

Askesan lowered his head slightly, his breath gradually calming down.

Until the corner of his mouth, he slowly raised a smile.

"Hahaha, hahahaha!"

He seemed to have finally determined something and laughed wildly, looking up.

Sigrid, you are ultimately one step short. In this well-prepared trap, the struggle of you and your Holy Son is destined to be ineffective!

Askesan's eyes stared at the composed Sigrid in the distance, full of twisted joy and murderous intent.

Because just in this moment, he felt the faint magical power left by the wolf from the northern snowfield on these three demons.

And along with this magical power, his clone left outside the death arena, on the seat of the Silent High Priest, could indeed feel the same frequency of magical power fluctuations!

This showed that the true body of the Hegemon Holy Son was indeed disguised in Franklin Hall.

And that location was not far away.

Soon, soon he would be able to find that little man hiding his head and tail.

As soon as he discovered the location of the Hegemon Holy Son, he would immediately lock onto that invisible guy and threaten Sigrid to surrender with the Hegemon Holy Son's life!

Whether the Hegemon Holy Son was some insignificant small noble or a local official of the empire, Askesan was sure that his clone could control him in an instant, without anyone reacting!

Unless you really give me a big joke and come up with a revelation that the identity of the Hegemon Holy Son is High Sage Isis, Morodian Berenhard, or Loki McCarthy!
