Chapter 374

"How cautious." Negri raised his eyebrows as he looked at the ward master, who was huddled up in the corner and holding his head.

In that instant just now, the Boundary Master had retracted the Sky High Earth Thick Barrier and imprinted it on his own body. The Boundary that had originally enveloped a vast area was now completely focused on a single person, causing the Boundary Master's body to distort like frosted glass.

The ward master was in his strongest defensive position. After confirming Negri's power, he decisively chose to give up on his original goal and try his best to survive.

Negri wore clothes that were one or two sizes too big. He slowly adapted to the power of the first Divine Fetus.

He then manipulated the [Vitality Siphoning Barrier], causing its structure to constantly change. Negary had also done some research on barriers, and combined with his understanding of life, this kind of barrier that was related to life was quickly made transparent in their hands.

Because the first Divine Fetus was born in an environment rich in Mana, he was very talented in sensing and using Mana. At the same time, he had been wrapped in a shell of Life Mana, so the first Divine Fetus' life force was very strong. He could live for about a thousand years.

At the same time, the first Divine Fetus had also evolved a kind of life ability. That was the Life Mana that flowed out of his body. Every bit of it had his personal mark, which gave his Life Mana the ability to infect and invade other things.

According to Negri's analysis, this ability was probably inherited from Negary's maggot's corruption ability.

"Of course, Life Drain is only the initial stage." Negri's Life Mana surged into the Barrier. The Life Drain Barrier changed bit by bit. Finally, it landed on the back of Negri's left hand and formed a circular formation.

This was the true use of Negri's Life Drain ability. Everything, including the world, was a life form, a unified yet scattered life form.

They took on different forms from different angles.

Life Drain's ability was to assimilate everything and make them a part of itself.

Of course, the current Life Drain could only take over a limited number of things. With his current state, he could only take over a three-story building at most. After that, he would not be able to take over anything else.

So, when Negri took over, he chose this Life Drain Barrier and solidified it on his body.

"If that's the case, then our offensive power is enough." Negri thought as he raised his left hand. The array diagram on it lit up and blocked a flaming sword that was flying towards him.

Grey power poured out of the formation and covered the sword. Almost in an instant, the entire sword collapsed, and a stream of vitality magic was sucked out and returned to Negri's hand.

Negri turned to where the attack came from. It was a knight who wasn't wearing his knight's armor, from the attack just now, he seemed to be a member of the Sun Shadow church.

If it wasn't obvious before, when Negri gave birth to his first Divine Embryo, he had released a strong aura of life. As the Sun Shadow Church didn't have a particularly good relationship with the Half Life Church, they considered Negri as an enemy and attacked him.

"He attended the Magic Banquet through other invitations?" This knight wasn't wearing any armor, and he had been hiding among the crowd earlier, otherwise, Negri wouldn't have been able to tell that he was a member of the Sun Shadow church with his flaming sword.

"You were already prepared to act?" Negri's gaze swept through the crowd. Including Great Magus Stim, there were a total of 18 people, of course, if the Mana Fetus was also included, that would be 19.

Stim, the host of the banquet, was sitting on the main seat without taking action. A few members of the House of Mages who saw the situation turning bad also followed behind Stim, not intending to participate in the fight for the Mana Fetus. Naturally, there were also a few sharper people who were hiding in a corner, not wanting to join the fray.

However, overall, there were a total of 11-12 people fighting, and the main objective of the battle was still the Mana Fetus. The Sun Shadow church was the strongest force here apart from the House of Mages, not to mention that the members of the Sun Shadow church were stronger in terms of raw power and numbers.

If not for everyone working together to stop the Sun Shadow church's actions, that Saint Soul Awakened would have already stood in front of the Mana Fetus.

A total of four people from the Sun Shadow church had come to the Mana Banquet this time. Two of them were knights who had disguised themselves to enter the Mana Banquet, while the other Saint Soul Awakened came together with a servant. In terms of numbers, they were the largest group outside of the House of Mages.

Other than that, the leaders of various organizations of various sizes or individuals were also using their own methods to fight. Various types of mana and abilities flowed around the Mana Fetus in the hall.

The Sun Shadow church knight stared closely at Negri, his skin began to glow red, flames quickly manifested from his hand to form a flaming sword, which he wielded with both hands as he charged towards Negri.

It's only a warm-up match, is there a need for this? Negri understood very well that the Sun Shadow church's goal was to confirm Great Magus Stim's current state. For now, the mages still had some leeway, but once the true probing began, the majority of the people here would be wiped out.

Negri reached his right hand forward and released a flow of vitality mana. The air around him was quickly condensed to form a semi-transparent flame lion in Negri's hand.

The known source of mana was the void. Evil Gods could absorb matter from the void outside the world and convert it into high-level mana, or worlds could absorb matter from the void to form Source Power, which would then be degraded into mana.

Currently, Negri only had a rough understanding of what the source of mana was like in the void, but once it was converted into Source Power, or even degraded mana, it would become a part of the living entity known as the world. Because of that, mana was also a living entity.

By absorbing the life of the flaming sword, combining it with the body of another lifeform and bestowing it onto other substances, it would form a unique lifeform. Of course, this lifeform's structure wasn't stable and would collapse after a short period of time.

"But that's more than enough!" Negri flicked his hand forward, sending the flame lion to receive the Sun Shadow knight.

Flames intertwined with one another, the heat mutually affecting each other. Thanks to its body being made of air, the flame lion pierced through the flaming sword and opened its jaws wide to bite the knight.

The flames engulfed the knight, but he didn't panic and simply allowed the flames to burn him. The flaming sword in his hand disappeared as he punched through the flame lion's body. A red dot appeared in his hand, pulling all the flames towards that red dot.

The flame lion's body was deformed, finally collapsing into that red dot, forming a shuttle that resembled flowing lava.

The knight wielding the shuttle didn't have any burn marks on his body, so he charged towards Negri again, but this time, even more aberrant lifeforms were charging towards him.
