Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 413: Chapter 228: Advance Preparations! (Combined in One)_2

With the Demon Princess no longer responding to Chen Mo’s questions, they fell into a silent standoff.

The Demon Princess was waiting for Chen Mo’s Holy Heart Spell to expire, while he was waiting for the Underworld’s Fountain to close.

Time ticked by, second by painstaking second.

During this time, Chen Mo repeatedly tried to get her to speak, but to no avail.

However, Chen Mo naturally wouldn’t reveal his own abilities either.

The Holy Heart Spell was the only thing the Demon Princess seemed interested in. If he spoke of it willingly, she would undoubtedly go back on her word and refuse to reveal anything else.

He wasn’t about to let himself be shortchanged.

Since she refused to speak further, he resorted to incessant mumbling.

Annoyed, the Demon Princess pressed her small ears flat, blocking out the sound and looking rather adorable in her frustration.

Chen Mo chuckled but didn’t press further.

A little over four hours after Chen Mo began throwing Skeleton Monsters into the Underworld’s Fountain, its eruption had weakened considerably.

Although the Demon Princess could sense these changes, she couldn’t stop Chen Mo’s actions and could only watch as he sealed the Underworld’s Fountain.

But the Demon Princess didn’t care about this.

Once she dealt with the human before her, she had plenty of ways to make the Underworld’s Fountain erupt again.

This human, whose body was protected by a strange energy, was the most troublesome enemy at present.

Unfortunately for her, she didn’t get to see Chen Mo’s Holy Heart Spell dissipate; instead, she witnessed the Underworld’s Fountain being completely sealed first.

The Demon Princess sneered at Chen Mo, “Human, don’t think that closing the Underworld’s Fountain will solve the current situation. Since this Dark Energy has already erupted, it won’t disperse easily. You’re just wasting your effort.

“Even the ten billion units you fed it have only increased the total amount of Dark Energy within the Underworld’s Fountain. If the Underworld’s Fountain erupts again in the future, it will undoubtedly bring forth even more powerful Dark Energy!”

To this, Chen Mo replied with a faint smile, “I’m afraid you won’t be around to see what happens in the future.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mo suddenly flashed with light and vanished from before the Demon Princess.

In that instant, the Demon Princess was greatly surprised and immediately tried to sense him.

In the darkness, she could sense everything.

This area was essentially filled with Dark Energy. No matter where that human had fled, she should have been able to sense him.

But when she carefully tried to sense him, she found she couldn’t detect where the human had gone at all.

It was as if he had vanished from this area into thin air.

“Impossible! Where did he go?”

While the Demon Princess was still trying to sense him again in disbelief, Chen Mo had already returned to the cave, appearing before the old white-clad Mage.

“Senior, I have completely sealed the Underworld’s Fountain. Now, I’ll have to trouble you to proceed,” Chen Mo said.

Seeing Chen Mo seal the Underworld’s Fountain so quickly, the old white-clad Mage was also very surprised.

He immediately tried to sense it. Sure enough, he found that the Underworld’s Fountain had stopped erupting.

He chuckled and exclaimed, “Truly, heroes emerge from the young! To successfully seal the Underworld’s Fountain in just a few hours is an incredible feat. Excellent! I shall immediately begin dispersing the Dark Energy in this area.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Senior.”

“However, forcibly dispersing such dense Dark Energy will take a great toll on me. After this, I’m afraid I’ll need a long time to recuperate. I won’t have the strength to deal with that demon then. Everything will depend on you.”

“No problem. I just clashed with that demon. Although its strength is considerable, with the Holy Heart Spell protecting me, I’ll be fine. The Holy Heart Spell still has over an hour of effectiveness left.”

“Foolish child, your Holy Heart Spell originates from my power. Once I exhaust all my strength to disperse the Dark Energy, the energy of the Holy Heart Spell within you will surely be unsustainable. When that time comes, you’ll have to rely on your own abilities to defeat the demon.”

So the Heavenly Dao wasn’t so benevolent after all. This Holy Heart Spell was given to me merely for temporary protection. If I couldn’t complete the task of sealing the Underworld’s Fountain within six hours, I would have been relentlessly harassed by the Demon Princess.

And even if I finished ahead of schedule, I wouldn’t receive any extra benefits. The Holy Heart Spell will still dissipate quickly; there’s no way to gain an edge.

Once the old Mage disperses the Dark Energy, the BOSS battle will begin. The Heavenly Dao clearly won’t grant me over an hour of invincibility during the BOSS fight.

Chen Mo wasn’t particularly concerned about this.

“Understood. Please begin, Senior. I am prepared to deal with the demon. I will certainly not disappoint your expectations and am determined to eradicate this fiend.”

“Good!”

The white-clad Mage nodded in satisfaction, then began to rapidly form a sequence of spells, muttering incantations under his breath.

As his incantations grew faster, his body began to emit a faint light.

At first, the light wasn’t very strong, just a faint white glow. As the white-clad Mage’s chanting speed continued to increase, the light’s intensity also grew, gradually enveloping the entire cave.

Chen Mo saw the cave walls, floor, and ceiling begin to glow as if inlaid with countless gemstones.

He wanted to open his eyes to see clearly, but the light’s intensity became increasingly extreme, making it impossible for him to keep his eyes open. He could only rely on his perception ability to sense the changes brought by the light.

As the white-clad Mage’s incantations continued to accelerate, the light’s intensity also continued to increase, spreading from within the cave to the outside.
