Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-253

Vermeil flew as hard as he could and you could see how the asphalt armor around his body improved his speed while it sucked his life force. He grabbed a black cocoon and his eyes were filled with resolution.

He was not told why this person was so important, but the dukes and Vapula had stated that if they wanted to win the war and obtain revenge for the hundreds of thousands of members of the Heavenly race that had died under the Magi invader force, he was the key.

Like the rest of his people, Vermeil felt nothing but revulsion to members of other races, but he cherished every one of his comrades. When he saw their bodies impaled and faces disfigured by the pain they felt before dying, the anger in his heart was high enough that he would not hesitate to give his life to obtain retribution.

The moment he got the package, his mission was to leave the Fornes continent and reach the headquarters of the Heavenly race in the Vixus continent. The defenses of the headquarters are so high that it would be impossible for the Magi to rescue this person.

The dukes and Vapula had told him that there is a great possibility his involvement is not detected by the enemy. However, less than a couple of seconds after he got the cocoon, he felt a presence appear in the distance and fear filled his heart.

Without hesitation, he allowed the asphalt armor to burn even more of his life force which pushed his speed to the next level.

Heinz had appeared more than one hundred kilometers away from the Angelic Paragon with wings made of air. The black fog around the man affected space and made it impossible for him to reach his side by teleportation.

The distance between him and the Angelic Paragon could be covered in an instant by Heinz, who had fused with a Law Avatar that had the Law of Space in it. But he did not need to do it, since when his Law of Killing reached the 'Minor Completion' level, his control over his energy had a qualitative improvement.

As Heinz prepared to launch a sword strike and kill the Angelic Paragon, he felt a disturbance in space, and then he saw hundreds of black and white sword beams fell from the sky as if they were stars that descended from the firmament, and they converged in his direction.

The power in each of those beams was immense and they could severely harm or even kill a Rank 4 life form.

The Cultivator's eyes became cold as he saw Tomas' black and white figure in the sky but his mind was calm. Ever since that seed made of the Law of Killing appeared around his True Soul, he felt great control over his emotions.

Heinz did not attempt to dodge those beams, instead, he flew up to face them, and just as they were about to clash, the red aura around his body became more potent and he shouted.

"SHATTER"

That word released a red shock wave that impacted Tomas' attack and although it did not break them, it destabilized and erased a great amount of its power.

The moment Heinz's sword collided against the black and white stars, it created an immense explosion that made the continent tremble and storms rage for thousands of kilometers. This was the collateral damage made by the clash between Rank 5 life forms.

Tomas was surprised when he saw Heinz's direct approach. He had hoped the Cultivator would attempt to dodge his attacks since that would have taken longer and greatly diminished the amount of time he had in the world.

When the duke saw Heinz's figure being swallowed by that explosion, he could not help but felt hopeful that it would be enough to stop him for a moment.

The result, however, was the complete opposite since Heinz exited the explosion immediately and rose at an immense speed until he was right in front of Tomas. His sword carried violent and heavy energy as it was strengthened by the Law of Killing of the world.

The duke's eyes widened when he saw the sword and dread filled his heart when all of a sudden his eyes filled with boiling asphalt and an invisible force was released from them.

The moment those eyes appeared, Heinz felt malignant power assault his True Soul. It was undodgeable and it attempted to force the Cultivator into a nightmarish plane.

Heinz's strength had reached Rank 5 but his True Soul was still that of a Rank 4 life form, so this type of attack should have been very effective against someone like him.

However, just as that dangerous energy appeared, the seed made of killing intent released an immense power that fought back against it.

That was not all, since the figure of a Blood Ruby Centipede enveloped the True Soul of the Cultivator and protected him from the damage.

He felt as if his head was being split apart, but was able to resist the pain and hacked at the Angelic Paragon in front of him.

Tomas did not understand why Heinz's attack was delayed but he used the time to form a shield with his wings.

The wings of a Rank 4 Angelic Paragon were extremely resilient and could compare to an artifact, but the offensive power in the sword was incredible after it was enhanced by the Law of Killing.

Under the shocked sight of Tomas, the sword cut his wing before sending him like a cannonball to the ground.

The duke screams of pain filled the sky and jets of blood were fired everywhere from his severed wings.

Heinz did not waste time with Tomas and focused on the Angelic Paragon with wings of air.

From his surroundings, threads of red aura appeared and they gathered in his sword. The energy in the weapon increased tremendously and yet it had an obscure nature that made it almost impossible to perceive.

Heinz fired a beam of sword light at Vermeil. The Angelic Paragon felt death approaching him but could not detect the attack so it was impossible for him to dodge or block it.

Luckily for Vermeil, a colossal crystal snake appeared between him and the sword beam. In the snake's body, there were runic lines inscribed and they glowed making a white shield appear in front of her.

The crystal snake was Vapula after having fused with her Law Avatar and the rune was her most valuable possession. Even though it was not a runic set, it was still a Rank 4 rune with great defensive might.

The sword beam clashed against the white shield and the sound the impact produced made it seem as if the sky was falling apart.

The white shield was very sturdy, but the offensive power in the Law of Killing was one of the highest that exists, so in less than a second it crumbled, but not without reducing a considerable amount of strength in Heinz's attack.

The crystal snake roared as it clashed against the sword beam. Deep injuries appeared around her body and she was pushed backward until almost clashing against Vermeil.

'How can his offensive power be so high!' Vapula was startled and she knew that if it was not for the white shield, her condition would have been much worse.

Heinz's eyes filled with killing intent as he saw the crystal snake stop him from saving Zatiel. He already felt the power of the World Consciousness acting around him and he was about to be expelled from this world any second now.

The Cultivator knew that as long he killed that Angelic Paragon with wings of air, he along with Tomas and Vapula would be expelled from this world, leaving the black cocoon that contained Zatiel alone.

Zitra, Totto, and Nero would arrive in this place at any moment and they could save Zatiel before the Heavenly race got hold of him.

He raised his sword and gathered the power of the Law of Killing in it before making his blood energy explode in his arms and back, increasing his physical might.

The moment the sword fell, a thin but immensely powerful sword light was fired at Vermeil. The crystal snake was still in the path, but Heinz was confident that Vapula would not sacrifice her life just to capture Zatiel.

Heinz was right and when the woman saw that sword strike, she was going to exit the world to evade that attack.

'I guess we have failed.' Vapula felt an immense sense of failure but she was not willing to lose his life here.

However just as she was about to stop resisting the expulsion force of the World Consciousness, she felt a malignant power converging on her and attacking her True Soul.

She focused on the direction where that power came and saw Tomas looking at her. The eyes of the dukes were filled with boiling asphalt that fell from his eyes like tears

The power in those eyes was too high for the woman and she lost control of her body and soul for a moment. Vapula should have been able to free herself after a couple of seconds but Heinz's sword light clashed on her in the next instant.

Tomas' attack had weaned her defenses so when the sword light landed on the crystal snake, her entire body and True Soul were shattered.

"NO!" Heinz was shocked when he saw how the woman had apparently chosen to die rather than allow him to save Zatiel. He saw how the Angelic Paragon with wings of air disappeared in the distance but there was nothing he could do to stop him as he could no longer resist and was expelled from the world.
