Chapter 328: No Illusion Can Invade These Eyes

As Charles fell into the illusion, a playful smile appeared on Mephisto's face. His figure, like a phantom, swiftly approached Charles.

The distance of over a hundred meters seemed to close in an instant.

Just as Mephisto was about to reach Charles, Balthazar, who had been observing Charles, unleashed a barrage of plasma lightning directly at Mephisto.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

However, Balthazar's plasma lightning seemed to hit the illusion, penetrating Mephisto's figure and exploding towards other demons nearby.

Glancing at Balthazar, who had attacked him, Mephisto said, "Little guy, we meet again."

"But, you can't disturb me."

Mephisto waved his hand, and a surge of magical power sent Balthazar flying, crashing into the depths of the Grand Abyss, where demons had already gathered.

With the annoying intruder gone, Mephisto approached Charles.

"What a unique soul, and such peculiar power. Truly interesting."

At this moment, hidden in the depths of the dimensional layer, Odin raised the Eternal Spear in his hand. "It seems it's time for me to take action."

"Just wait!"

Hearing Ancient One say to wait, Odin did not immediately attack. However, he did not lower the Eternal Spear either. Instead, he aimed it at Mephisto's clone within the magical world.

Odin believed that he could eliminate the clone before Mephisto could act.

As Mephisto reached out his hand, about to touch Charles's neck, Charles suddenly opened his eyes. The blood-red Sharingan instantly reflected in Mephisto's eyes.

"Illusion Reversal!"

Just as Mephisto was about to harvest Charles's soul, a voice echoed in his ears:

"Mephisto, will you agree to my request or not?"

Merlin appeared from the void, wielding the Merlin Staff. He swung it down on Mephisto, sending him flying. He crashed through numerous buildings until he hit what seemed like a giant wall and finally came to a stop.

Mephisto, still in his human form, failed to notice that his world had shifted from the magical realm to the hell dimension. He glared at Merlin with an unpleasant expression.

"Damn!"

"I knew it. This is your trap, you despicable fellow."

Merlin's face showed no change. He lifted the staff and struck Mephisto once again.

Feeling as if his body was immobilized and unable to move, Mephisto struggled hard and managed to dodge the attack, rolling away.

"Boom!"

As Mephisto rolled away, he finally saw what had stopped him earlier – his throne.

However, at this moment, his body was in human form, and the back of the throne resembled a wall.

Merlin's magical staff smashed into his throne, emitting a dazzling light. The entire throne was instantly shattered.

Watching this familiar scene, Mephisto instantly realized what had happened.

"Damn, I've been played!"

As a top player in manipulating illusions, relying on this ability, he had harvested countless souls. However, today, he unexpectedly fell into an illusion, and what's more, he truly believed that it was that guy Merlin who had come.

Instantly, a surge of magic power erupted from Mephisto's body, and a black-red magical flame soared into the sky, directly shattering the entire illusion.

…

At this moment, Charles opened his eyes and, seeing Mephisto being hit by the rebounded illusion, immediately took a step back, creating some distance.

Not wanting to waste too much time, Charles knew that this illusion couldn't trap Mephisto for long. He then formed hand seals and summoned the giant slug.

"Katsuyu · Acidic Tongue!"

With a command from Charles, the massive slug spewed a highly corrosive liquid at Mephisto, and Charles, at a rapid speed, launched a punch attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under the tremendous force of his chakra enhanced strength, the entire battlefield centered around Mephisto seemed to experience an earthquake. A powerful shockwave spread in all directions, instantly killing nearby hell creatures.

Mephisto's location was left with a massive pit, with a diameter of 100 meters, created by Charles's powerful punch.

Gasping for breath on the ground, Charles had not only strengthened the quality of his chakra with the Dragon Ring, enhancing its power, but also used an enormous amount of chakra to achieve such a terrifying effect.

The onlookers, including the members of the magic team, were initially stunned but erupted into cheers after a moment. In their perception, the enemy should have been dealt with by their Supreme Merlin.

Tony even whistled in the air, while the ninja group wasn't surprised by Charles's strength. In their understanding, it was normal for Charles, who could bring them out from the river of time, to kill any enemies.

"Katsuyu, go help Tsunade!"

"Yes, Lord Charles."

Charles glanced at the pit where Mephisto was. His body, corroded by the slug's acid, was in a dilapidated state, but it was automatically healing.

"Lightning Release · Lightning Strike!"

Just as Charles prepared to continue his attack on Mephisto, he freed himself from the illusion.

With his eyes open, Mephisto immediately sensed intense pain. The next moment, a surge of magical power rose, and his body quickly began to heal.

Seeing he was about to be struck by the lightning from above, Mephisto immediately broke free from the illusion's constraints.

Dodging the attack, Mephisto leaped out of the pit, avoiding Charles's lightning strike.

Standing outside the pit, Mephisto, looking at Charles, had a very grim expression.

"Merlin's descendant, you're as good as dead!"

"I will definitely take your soul back to hell and let it burn incessantly in the fires of hell."

Mephisto tore off the tattered strip of his suit, and his body quickly expanded, transforming into a 30-meter-tall demon with a red body, with giant demon horns on his head.

It's not that Mephisto couldn't grow larger, but this clone had too little energy. The recent repair had consumed a considerable amount of energy, and this form was the clone's strongest state.

Moreover, the moment he left the illusion, Mephisto transmitted the situation here back to his main body. He believed that with his main body's arrival, no matter what trump cards this Merlin descendant had, he couldn't escape death.
