Chapter 89: The Special Power of the Fallen Angel
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels had just placed his hand on the banquet hall door when it was suddenly flung open from the outside.
Caught off guard, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was sent flying. He crashed into several banquet tables before finally coming to a stop.
Struggling to his feet, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels looked towards the banquet hall door.
He saw a tall, handsome young human man standing at the entrance, staring right at him.
"A human in Succubus Castle?!" The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels couldn't believe there was a human in Succubus Castle.
The defenses of Succubus Castle had become this lax?
While the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was lost in his confusion and shock, Charles didn't hesitate. He locked onto his target and launched an attack.
Charles unleashed the skill [Power of the Overlord].
Before Charles, an almost endless swarm of Zerg souls gathered. A psychic storm then surged toward the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
Facing the sudden appearance of a human who attacked him without hesitation, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels launched a full counterattack in extreme anger.
Although his power was only at the fifth tier, he was still a noble Fallen Angel.
Compared to other races, Fallen Angels possess unique powers exclusive to them.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels easily dodged the psychic storm unleashed by Charles. Immediately, two jet-black wings sprouted from his back.
With the flapping of these black wings, the banquet hall of Succubus Castle was plunged into an extreme cold.
All the warmth in the banquet hall was completely absorbed by the wings that symbolized corruption.
"I will make you understand how foolish it is to challenge a Fallen Angel!" The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels flew towards Charles from mid-air.
At the same time, two black spheres formed on either side of the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels. These black spheres emanated an endless aura of corruption.
The moment Charles saw the black spheres, he seemed to be frozen in place, unable to take any action.
Although Charles's body couldn't move, his mind was still able to think.
He knew very well that he couldn't afford to be hit by this attack. If he was struck, it might mean instant death at the hands of his opponent.
"It seems I really underestimated the power of a Fallen Angel prince! Even if his strength is only at the fifth tier, he is still a Fallen Angel. The Fallen Angel race is just too unique." Rose couldn't help but think to herself.
Standing beside Charles, Succubus Princess Rose's expression was one of utter shock.
She originally thought that in a surprise attack, Charles would have the absolute upper hand.
Even if the Fallen Angel prince could counterattack, Charles should have been able to quickly secure victory and leave Succubus Castle under her cover.
Rose never imagined that the Fallen Angel prince could exhibit strength far beyond his tier.
With Charles immobilized, Rose knew she had to help him. However, she couldn't directly confront the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
Rose's mind worked rapidly, and within an instant, she came up with a possible response.
Rose pretended to be extremely terrified and ran towards the outside of the banquet hall.
After running out of the banquet hall and ensuring she wouldn't be detected by the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels, Rose immediately extended her hand to create a special space unique to succubi.
With the help of this special space, Charles successfully broke free from the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels' control.
Regaining control of his body, Charles didn't hesitate and immediately used bloodline activation. Two pairs of thin Zerg wings emerged from his back.
With the help of these delicate Zerg wings, Charles swiftly dodged the attack from the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
"You're not human, you're a Zerg! What is your purpose for being here? Are you here to threaten the succubi race?!"
The expression on the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels' face grew even more puzzled as he saw the thin Zerg wings on Charles's back. He initially thought Charles was human, but now it appeared that Charles was a Zerg.
Moreover, judging by the power Charles had just displayed, he was clearly not an ordinary member of the Zerg.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels couldn't fathom the reason for such a Zerg appearing here.
Faced with the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels' confusion, Charles naturally wasn't going to provide any answers.
Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent didn't continue the pursuit, Charles quickly readied himself. He immediately chose to activate his three skills: [Power of the Overlord], [Wings of the Overlord], and [Armor of the Overlord].
Under the simultaneous effect of the three skills, Charles's stature tripled in size. At the same time, the two pairs of thin Zerg wings on his back rapidly expanded, transforming into massive, dragon-like wings.
Simultaneously, a faint yellow glow enveloped Charles's body, providing an additional layer of defense.
Charles, now brimming with immense power, charged directly towards the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels knew that this attack was the opponent's strongest. Hence, he also prepared his defenses.
One after another, illusory black portals appeared in front of the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels. These black portals combined to form an impenetrable barrier of darkness.
The Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels hid behind the pure black barrier, constantly manipulating the forces within to try and hinder Charles's advance.
As Charles charged towards the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels, he felt the pull of dark energy. However, thanks to the [Armor of the Overlord], Charles successfully blocked out most of the dark energy's effects.
In just the span of a single breath, Charles reached the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels.
Charles focused all his power into his fist and punched the pure black barrier.
Under the astonished gaze of the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels, the pure black fallen barrier shattered instantly. A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of the Fourth Prince's mouth.
The fallen barrier is crucial for members of the Fallen Angels.
This is because the special power of the Fallen Angels entirely comes from the use of fallen energy. And all fallen energy originates from the Abyss.
The fallen barrier of the Fallen Angels merely harnesses a portion of the fallen energy from the Abyss, utilizing their unique racial traits.
When the fallen barrier is destroyed, the connection between the Fallen Angel and the Abyss is severed. This naturally causes the power of the Fallen Angel to dissipate entirely.
Once the power is completely dissipated, even the prince of the Fallen Angels cannot withstand Charles's full-force attack.
As the fallen barrier collapsed, the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was directly knocked down by Charles. However, Charles didn't have time to launch another attack.
Because, in his mind, he suddenly heard the voice of Succubus Princess Rose.
"You've already made the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels pay. There's no need to continue fighting. My mother will arrive at the banquet hall any moment now! You're no match for her!"
After receiving the prompt from Succubus Princess Rose, Charles immediately chose to dash towards another exit of the banquet hall at the fastest speed.
Before the battle started, Rose had already planned an escape route for Charles.
If Charles escaped through the main entrance of the banquet hall, he would inevitably encounter Succubus Queen Lilith head-on. And Succubus Queen Lilith was an opponent Charles absolutely couldn't defeat at this stage.
Only by rushing out through the side door of the banquet hall could Charles escape from Succubus Castle using the small paths and reach Rose's private territory.
Just as Charles left the banquet hall, he heard an angry roar from behind.
"Who dares to attack our Succubus Castle?! Whoever it is, I will make them pay dearly!"
Although Charles had never heard this voice before, he could confirm that the roaring voice belonged to Succubus Queen Lilith.
Charles left Succubus Castle at the fastest speed and returned to Succubus Princess Rose's private territory.
Here, an illusory portal had already been prepared for him. Before stepping through the portal, Charles reminded Rose.
"Don't forget the precious materials and the equipment to hide my aura that you promised me." After saying this, he didn't wait for Rose's response and stepped through the portal.
In this way, Charles completed his assault on the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels and left Succubus Castle through the portal before anyone could react.
Charles's actions were indeed executed flawlessly, but for the inhabitants of Succubus Castle, the trouble was just beginning.
The fact that the Fourth Prince of the Fallen Angels was attacked by an outsider within Succubus Castle was something unacceptable to all races of the Abyss.
