BXBX NOVEL Chapter 222 - Purge (V)
The seven winged Fallen believed he understood the limit of Verius, but only when he discovered that plan did he realize how wrong he was.
That information made his decision of killing Verius and all of those who sided with him much easier.
The next step was to introduce a trojan horse. By using an extremely powerful necromantic spell, they were able to transform Dimitry into a special type of undead who still had his soul but who was under their complete control.
This was done by Totto with the knowledge provided by Zatiel. The Lich was already very close to the peak of Rank 4 and his talent in necromancy helped him learn that spell very fast.
There were downsides to the spell, with Dimitry power dropping to the bottom of Rank 4 and him being incapable of using his Law Avatar. Verius would have been able to identify the changes with the Angelic Paragon if he had enough time, but he was too focused on the gathering and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with his soul, he thought everything was fine.
After that, the Neo-Demon inscribed the insides of Dimitry\'s body with Fiendfire runes. Despite just being a Rank 3 rune, when the fuel was the life force and soul of a Soul Forging existence, the power it reached was immense, to the point that it could equal Rank 4 runes in terms of destructive power.
Despite being very deep in the ocean and under countless tons of water, the explosion of fiend fire was so powerful that it created a vacuum inside the ocean full of black flames where not a single drop of water was present.
A couple of seconds after the explosion started, two figures came out from it. They were two Angelic Paragons, one covered in a mantle of shadows filled with skulls and the other was inside an iceberg.
Right behind them, three Angels of Supremacy also came out from the explosion of fiend fire. One was covered by a cocoon made of liquid poison, another was inside a tornado and the last one was surrounded by electric snakes.
These phenomenons that were protecting the Fallen and that extended for kilometers were their Law Avatars.
Being true to their nature none of them thought of waiting for the last Angel of Supremacy. The truth was that if he was not able to exit the explosion of fiend fire after the first couple of seconds, his fate was already decided.
Verius and his group were leaving a trail of blood as they moved through the ocean. Despite their power and the help of their Law Avatar, fiend fire can penetrate most magical defenses, so the damage the explosion provoked was extremely severe.
They Fallen knew that remaining in the ocean was dangerous due to the magic creatures that filled it. The explosion would certainly scare a great number of magic creatures, but those were the weak ones.
Rank 4 Magic creatures would be drawn to the explosion and when they find wounded Angelic Paragons and Angels of Supremacy, then they will attack them due to the allure of their bloodline.
As they advanced, they were forced to fight against all types of magic creatures, but by remaining together, they defeated most of them and stopped the rest from following them.
Thanks to them using their Law Avatars to increase their power, the speed they were able to achieve was impressive and in less than half an hour they were able to reach the sky.
Unfortunately for Verius and his group, their nightmare was far from being over. The moment they left the water, they were attacked by Heinz and Nero, both of them empowered by their Law Avatars.
Nero\'s Law Avatar took the form of a blue star ten meters in diameters that remained behind him. Although its size was small, the power it released was much greater than any of the Law Avatars of Verius and his group.
In this star, you could feel a defiant power that will not allow any sort of restriction put over it and a pride that will burn brighter with every challenge it overcomes.
The blue light from the star gathered around Nero\'s spear increasing its destructive power greatly and it also formed a halo above his head that filled the seven winged Fallen with flawless might.
Heinz used Void Disruption to appear right in front of the Angel of Supremacy who was covered by a cocoon made of poison. He channeled all the physical power he had into the next attack and after targeting the waist of the Fallen, he slashed with his sword.
The sword in his hand was a Law Avatar formed by the Law of Killing, Law of Blood, Law of Swords, and Law of Space. He used it to perform a Void Slash that split the cocoon of poison in two and severed the waist of the Angel of Supremacy inside it.
The Angel of Supremacy could not believe he was defeated with such ease. Heinz appeared in front of the Fallen and covered him with a mantle of killing intent before throwing him into his personal space.
As this happened, Nero targeted the Angelic Paragon inside the iceberg. The ice was extremely resistant but when the spear filled with blue light impacted against it, it was not able to resist for a second before shattering.
The Angelic Paragon attempted to fight against the seven winged Fallen but in less than three moves a cut appeared from his shoulder to his waist that divided his body in two. Nero did the same as Heinz, covering his enemy with blue light before putting him into his personal space.
When Verius and the other two Angels of Supremacy saw the defeat of their comrades, the only thought in their minds was to escape.
Nero focused on one of the Angels of Supremacy who was running. His Law Avatar shrank until it became a miniature star circling his spear.
The seven winged Fallen thrust his spear with all the strength he had and in an instant it reached the tornado, destroying it and shattering the body and soul of the Angel of Supremacy inside it.
The last Angel of Supremacy, the one covered by electric snakes was terrified when he saw how his comrades were being defeated with such ease and before he was able to advance much longer, from above him huge chains made of light appeared that grabbed the Law Avatar with such power that it was not able to move.
Before the Fallen could understand what was happening from his own shadow a dagger was fired and it pierced his back.
The dagger was very old and it seems it would break at any second, but it buried itself with ease in the Angel of Supremacy and incapacitated him instantly.
When Verius detected he was the only one of his group that was not killed or captured, a great terror filled his eyes and it only grew stronger when he saw an old man with an aura made of solidified fear appear in front of him.
In the next moment, behind him, Heinz materialized along with Nero blocking any escape route. Sebastian and the Fallen who were part of Nero\'s group encircled Verius along with Zitra.
The Angelic Paragon did not know what to do. He was not stupid enough to think that he could escape from all these people.
It will be easy for them to kill Verius with a barrage of spells but none of them attacked. They focused on the Lich who walked closer to the terrified Fallen.
"He told me that fighting with someone like you will be of great help to me, so let\'s see what you can do."
A smile appeared on Totto\'s face and immense fighting intent was released from inside his soul. The Lich was very happy since he had not felt like this in a very long time.
