The Phantom Great Love Poet noticed the magical card in the other's hand.

Its texture was unique, making it seem both illusory and ethereal. The patterns on the card flowed like a living heartbeat, as if suspended on the edge of the physical and non-physical.

She also gradually understood why she didn't have any usable magic cards.

Even at the eighth rank, her soul space was in an abnormal state, unable to bind any magic cards. The one the other party was holding was clearly a magic card given to her by someone else.

"You think you can defeat me with someone else's magic card?"

The Phantom Great Love Poet was certain that this was a summoning card, and its rank was not high.

As long as the other party dared to summon, she could instantly make the unowned summon lose control.

Besides, even if her martial strength was weak, she could still beat a low-level summon to death with her fists.

"..."

Lan Qi's eyes showed pity. He didn't respond to her, but released his hand, and the magic card suddenly became dazzling.

It was different from ordinary magic cards, more like entangled spirals. As the power was released, the spirals separated and converged into a huge vortex.

The surrounding runes of the maze corridor were bent, attracted, and even torn apart by the vortex.

After the vortex quickly stabilized, a crack appeared in the center, revealing its true form—a huge wolf, surrounded by space-time fault-like scarlet runes, wandering on its dark and deep body.

The red lines on it were like the power of the creation of the world. Each line flickered and breathed, like a rift connecting to another dimension.

The Phantom Great Love Poet just smiled contemptuously at the appearance of this summon.

Although she couldn't identify the specific attributes of this wolf for the time being, how could she, a dignified eighth-order great demon, be blocked by a fourth-order summon!

However, the next moment, when the giant wolf's claws slammed towards the Phantom Great Love Poet, the Phantom Great Love Poet, who originally planned to directly destroy it, suddenly let out a piercing scream.

The moment she touched the giant wolf, her eyes were full of horror, and she felt that her arm was about to be ignited and melted.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The Phantom Great Love Poet covered her arm and immediately wanted to escape back.

But the giant wolf's body was too huge, and at this moment, it had already slammed its claws down fiercely, until it pressed the Phantom Great Love Poet to the ground.

"No! It hurts!"

She struggled to escape, but under the claws of the nuclear fusion wolf, her back was constantly burned and melted, and she cried out in pain.

"Alas, you probably don't even know that in addition to being a living being, you also have the attributes of a summon."

Lan Qi walked up to the Phantom Great Love Poet, looked down at her on the ground, and said sadly.

He never thought that one day, he would have to fight the Great Love Poet to the death.

"What... what are you doing?"

The gray-haired Great Love Poet's voice trembled, and tears squeezed out of her closed eyelids. Her crying was almost fragmented.

"I can only exclude you from the trial with tears in my eyes."

Lan Qi wiped the corner of his eye, turned his gaze away, and said.

He knew that no matter how pitiful this cunning demon of the Great Love Poet pretended to be, they were just crocodile tears. He couldn't believe her or be soft-hearted towards her, otherwise he would make a fatal mistake.

The gray-haired Great Love Poet desperately raised her head, only to feel that the guy in front of her was particularly terrifying. Even though the other party's demonic voice was far weaker than hers in amplifying emotions, and even hadn't removed his mask, she felt extreme fear at this moment.

"I... I was wrong, don't!"

Each hurried breath of the gray-haired Great Love Poet seemed to devour her fragile courage, and her voice gradually weakened to inaudible, only intermittent sobs,

"Please, let me go... I was really wrong!"

But Lan Qi didn't say much. The nuclear fusion wolf opened its huge mouth, and the Phantom Great Love Poet was forcibly distorted and sealed, and finally turned into a magic card engraved with black petals.

In a short while, this card that should not exist in the world disappeared and merged back into the magic power of the minus fifth floor maze barrier.

As the Phantom Great Love Poet was sealed and completely disappeared, thunderous echoes rang out in the corridor.

Black clouds and deep blue lightning continued to gather, shrouding the black-haired, green-eyed figure.

At the center of the maze corridor, the barrier magic power that was originally as stable as a rock began to show ripple-like fluctuations, as if some mysterious rule had been triggered.

The frequency of the incantations on the surrounding walls became faster, shrouded in a layer of psychedelic mist.

The immense magic power gathered in the air. This magic power not only had similar fluctuations to the [Hopeless Extinction War], but was also deeper and more frightening, like the origin power of the supreme demon world.

A deep blue halo formed around the black-haired, green-eyed Great Love Poet, and magic power gathered and weaved in the air. At the same time, deep blue lightning and lingering black mist suddenly rushed into his forehead.

The magic power continued to strengthen and take shape, and everyone on the other levels of the maze corridor felt a sense of oppression.

No one knew what had happened on this minus fifth floor.

Throughout the process, the Great Love Poet was guarded by an invisible force, and the surrounding space formed an isolated area.

Until a few breaths later, the light and shadow and magic power quickly contracted, and finally condensed at the center of the Great Love Poet's forehead, forming a deep blue imprint—

[Hopeless Imprint]

[Category: Soul Imprint]

[Grade: Orange Epic]

[Tier: 1]

[Passive Effect: All summons and familiars receive a small increase.]

[Note: Acknowledgment from Hopeless Sadia.]

The Great Love Poet's closed eyes finally slowly opened, and his gaze was still so calm.

Only for a moment, several overlapping semi-transparent light and shadows flashed across the depths of his pupils.

Those were the three imprints he had obtained, which were now connected and combined to form a completely different magic circuit.

And the demonic aura on his body had truly transformed. At the moment of opening his eyes, it was particularly strong. As long as he occupied it with his soul, even the body of the Great Love Poet would show the characteristics of a great demon.

However, soon, the aura of the great demon was once again concealed by disguise magic.

"Without the ancestral land trial and without the approval of the contemporary demon king, will I become a 'nameless great demon'?"

Lan Qi muttered to himself, feeling the change.

For demons, the "nameless great demon" itself is a taboo existence, because the danger of a great demon that even demons are unwilling to recognize is often higher than that of a regular great demon.

Having no title means that he cannot grant other demons a title imprint, but otherwise there is no difference.

However, the main reason he will become a nameless great demon is due to the times, not his own problem. He has always liked to be part of the system.
