BXBX NOVEL Chapter 329 - Blue Wings
"Illusion."
The moment Xenia heard that word and saw the Neo-Demon looking at her with eyes full of killing intent, shock filled her face. However, after taking a moment to calm herself, her smile grew wider, as did the excitement in her heart.
"I am truly impressed. A normal Law Engraving existence would have lost their mind to pleasure inside my Enchantment Illusion, allowing me to do anything to them, and yet you managed to regain consciousness. However, it doesn\'t matter, you are still trapped here, and there is no way you can escape."
Zatiel did not respond to the Countess\' words and kept staring at her with coldness. His True Will was strong and granted him extraordinary defensive abilities against illusions, but he was still a Rank 4 life form, and the spell of his opponent had the full power of a Rank 5 life form at the 3rd Engraving Stage. The fact he was able to regain consciousness was already astonishing.
He was exhausted right now, and at his peak, his battle power was barely enough to face someone at the 1st Engraving Stage, but Zatiel did not think of escaping after falling to Xenia\'s illusion.
In reality, Zatiel was floating in the air with his eyes closed, and Xenia was looking at him from the city\'s walls.
Around the Devil Lord, tens of thousands of devils were lying dead on the ground. They all had a smile on their faces, and it appeared they experienced great pleasure before having their souls drained.
The only person alive in the City was Xenia. She broke space and the next moment appeared in front of Zatiel.
\'Even though I lost all my subordinates, once I enslave this man, my power will rise immensely. There is a chance for me to obtain the title of Marquess in the future.\'
Xenia felt how her pink aura had saturated Zatiel\'s soul dimension, and she prepared to kiss him. The Countess was an erinyes, a powerful kind of devil known for their enchantment skills.
If she manages to kiss the Neo-Demon, the power of her pink aura will grow stronger and morph Zatiel\'s personality into that of a faithful servant.
Just as they were right next to each other, Zatiel acted. The True Will stood up and then roared, releasing every bit of power inside him.
"Will Supernova!" Those words came from the True Will as a stellar explosion of multicolored light occurred inside the soul dimension.
The power in that multicolored light was so great that it burned the pink aura instantly, and the Enchantment Illusion that kept Zatiel\'s consciousness prisoner broke apart.
Xenia did not have time to be shocked by what had just happened since a horrible pain assaulted her.
Soul invasion spells were powerful and hard to combat, but their backlash was equally potent. After the multicolored light broke her illusion and burned the pink aura, the Devil Lord\'s soul was severely injured, and her old wound grew larger.
Xenia felt immense danger the next second, but her wounds were so great that she could not move. A mighty hand grabbed her neck, and a purple eye, which appeared to be a portal to a nightmare dimension, appeared in her sight.
The Devil Lord saw Baator disappear and be replaced by a plane full of dark purple energy. Before she could even begin to try to understand what just happened, a black monster with red eyes appeared in front of her and invaded her body.
While Xenia was enduring horrible torture in the Rebirth Nightmare, Zatiel destroyed her heart before putting a Sealing Rune over her head and throwing the Devil Lord into his spatial ring.
The Neo-Demon had guarded his Rebirth Nightmare for the erinyes. He understood the nature of fiends very well and knew she would attack him when he was at his weakest.
If Xenia were at full power, Zatiel would have run immediately; after all, she was at the 3rd Engraving Stage, but after knowing of her wounded state, he planned to attack her once his True Will crushed her illusion.
After defeating the woman, the Neo-Demon broke the space by his side and appeared in the city.
Zatiel felt beyond exhausted and could barely move. His trump card will need a few weeks to be available again; his True Will was significantly weakened right now, and his body was full of wounds. Remaining in Baator in his condition would be the same as suicide.
The Neo-Demon used what little energy he had left and flew to the World Gate located in the center of the city before disappearing from Avernus.
Just like that, Zatiel\'s trip to Baator ended. It lasted less than a day but resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of lesser devils, more than a dozen Rank 4 Devils, and two Devil Lords.
If such a massive loss of lives happened in the Magi World, the powerhouses inside the world would have acted immediately, but in Avernus, no one cared. Other than the demise of Xenia and Zitu that may draw some attention, the rest did not matter.
......
Several hundred of thousands of kilometers above the City of the Sun, a group of Fallen were flying. They were all Rank 4 life forms, and at the lead, there was Nero.
The seven winged Fallen had a pendant around his neck with the form of a tower. All the Fallen that could not endure the void were inside this artifact.
It only took a moment for the group to pass through the Crystal Wall and leave the Magi World.
Nero\'s eyes narrowed the moment he reached the void, and although he could only see elemental chaos around him, the Fallen knew very well that they were in great danger as alien life forms.
He and the rest of the Fallen remained close to the Crystal Wall and waited.
"Teacher told me he would come to seek us the moment we leave the Magi World, so he should arrive any moment now."
The rest of the Fallen had just nodded to Nero\'s words when all of a sudden, their bodies froze with fear, and their instincts began to scream.
Nero\'s response was no different, and he learned the origin of his terror the next second.
In front of the group of Fallen, a creature so massively large that even a continent would feel little in comparison appeared.
It had a body similar to a golden carp. Its scales were engraved with powerful laws, and they all released a might above the Minor Completion level.
The seven winged Fallen had already felt an aura like this when Totto opened a portal to another dimension in the Beta Heavenly World.
"A Being of Laws." When the rest of the Fallen heard that, terror appeared in their faces.
Although not all Beings of Laws behaved like killing machines, the one in front of them depicted a very aggressive aura, and it was clear it was not friendly.
The creature did not say a word and flew to the Fallen. Just as the fish-like Being of Laws was about to trample them, a man appeared in front of Nero.
The man was approximately two and a half meters tall; his hair was black, eight blue wings emerged from his back, and each feather had white lines generating mysterious patterns.
Nero immediately recognized the man. He was the person who helped him escape the Garden of Creation and guided his movements in the Beta Heavenly World.
Before the seven winged Fallen could even speak a word, he saw how his teacher stopped the Being of Laws, who was more extensive than a Low World with his index finger.
A shock wave that broke space and time occurred when they clashed. Nero and the others would have perished if it was not for the blue aura protecting their bodies.
The man\'s finger trembled a little, but he stopped the charge of the Being of Laws without a problem, and then he gently slapped the creature\'s head and threw him away.
