Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang was inside a massive hall, supported by big pillars that were engraved with the face of Goddess Lunea. At the end of the hall, a massive painting of Goddess Lunea.

This was an exaggeration, but not surprising. Gracia led him through the end of the hall to a room with a round table. The room was hollow with no decoration, just a round table and chairs with a goddess statue at the center of the table.

There was another door at the end of the room, guarded by two knights. Their sharp glares locked on Tang Shaoyang, "He is the person Goddess has been waiting for, Sir Tang Shaoyang."

The two knights bowed and opened the door. It was another round room with no particular decoration. At the center of the room, there was a floating sphere with a person inside.

Tang Shaoyang recognized the person inside, Lunea. Her eyes closed and her breathing was stable. She looked like sleeping inside the sphere. Her loose white hair did not cover her ethereal look.

"The seal is the thing that maintains the barrier. But the barrier is broken, and yet the seal remains," Tang Shaoyang approached the sphere and placed his hand on it.

As soon as he placed his hand on the seal, the surroundings changed. He was floating in space. It literally looked like he was in outer space with the stars in the distance. It just lacked the planets and a sun.

"You have come!" The soft and gentle voice traveled to his ears.

Tang Shaoyang turned around and saw the same figure as the one in the sphere, "I did come to fulfill the oath. I would like you to send me back so I can destroy the seal."

"Directly talking about the business. You haven't changed, I guess," Lunea smiled and motioned toward Tang Shaoyang to follow her.

"The seal can't be broken from the outside. It must be destroyed from the inside," They stopped in front of another sphere, a smaller one. It was the size of a soccer ball and pitch black.

"But I have found a way to destroy the seal. You just need to destroy this black sphere."

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, then he glanced at Lunea. It was too easy and made everything suspicious.

"If you have found the way to destroy the seal, then why are you waiting for me? You can just destroy that sphere by yourself."

She shook her head, "I have to wait for you. If I come out before you come, my friends will come for me. I need your help to face them."

"I am here now, so you can destroy the black sphere. And you don't need to worry about your friends. I have killed three of them."

Lunea was shocked to hear that. She squinted her eyes, "Who did you kill?"

"We can continue our talk when we get out of here. Break the seal, and we will talk."

"Are you suspicious of me?"

"Yes, I do. Everything is too easy to be real," Tang Shaoyang found it suspicious of how easy it was to break the seal. Lunea implied she could get any time, and yet she decided to meet him in this weird space instead of breaking the seal directly.

The space suddenly cracked as a figure entered the space. It was The Exalted Priest who entered the space, "Are you okay, Sir Tang?" She rushed toward Tang Shaoyang, but then her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Goddess Lunea.

"She is not your Goddess," Tang Shaoyang warned as he realized something, "I see. I think your High Priest Estia is related to the person who set this trap."

Gracia snapped out, realizing the person in front of her might not be Goddess Lunea. Her eyes glowed in the light, and she saw the figure disguised as Goddess Lunea.

"It's a Demon!"

"Tsk, my plan is foiled, but does not really matter since you are trapped—" The Demon's words stopped as she realized something happening inside this space.

She realized the sudden rise in temperature as black fire spread out in her space. What surprised her was that the black fire was tearing apart her dimensional space trap.

The beautiful space was distorted, turning into Dark Energy. Lunea's figure was also distorted and revealed who was behind the beautiful face. It was a demon with no face. The demon did not have eyes, nose, mouth, or anything. It was just a faceless and hairless demon. It looked so weird to Tang Shaoyang. This was the first time he met this kind of demon.

The whole space distorted into dark energy and that energy rushed toward Tang Shaoyang, "It's too late. You are in my space, and I will possess your body."

"Sir Tang!" Gracia failed to react as the dark energy engulfed Tang Shaoyang to form a dark cocoon. She tried to use her skill but soon she realized that she could not utilize her skills in this space. Not just skills, she also failed to manifest her Light Elemental Power. Nothing was working inside this space.

She was worried for nothing because soon she heard the demon's scream as the space shook. The demon pulled out the dark energy, and she returned to the original room.

She was still standing in front of the seal, and Tang Shaoyang was next to him. What happened was that dark energy engulfed Tang Shaoyang when he touched the seal. She panicked and tried to break the dark energy, but she got pulled into that space instead.

Boom!

Gracia glanced at the crashed wall. The faceless demon revealed her appearance. Even though she could not see the expression of the faceless demon. She could tell that the demon was panicking.

The faceless demon tried to get up and run, scrambling her way to the other side. But Tang Shaoyang was already in front of the demon.

Gracia watched Tang Shaoyang's hand pierce through the faceless demon's chest, destroying the heart, and killing the demon in one strike. It was a powerful demon from what she experienced, but it was nothing in front of Sir Tang.

"It's funny that your temple is infested by demons. But everything makes sense," Tang Shaoyang nodded and walked toward the seal after storing the body. It was a Demi-God Rank Demon, a precious material for him.

"It will take me five to ten minutes to break the seal. But I have to focus and can't do anything while destroying the seal. Protect me during that time, don't let anyone come closer to me, including those knights at the door and other priests. Can you do it?"
