Guild Wars
chapter-1007

Shadow's eyes became colder and colder as he saw that Elle was slowly recovering, and he turned his head to face Surtur with flames escaping his eyes.

"For daring to make Elle exert herself, you deserve death!" Shadowheart declared angrily.

Surtur, who was fighting three at once, almost coughed blood in anger.

What the hell do you mean by that? You came here, into my abode, killed almost all my people, destroyed my province until it was almost barren with those bloody apocalypses, and dare to act like the victim party?!

Surtur's pent-up anger he had been holding back due to his power and status exploded, causing his red demon energy to grow wantonly and almost become uncontrollable.

His eyes became utterly bloodshot and he could no longer distinguish friend from foe.

Surtur had officially entered a berserk status! His Attack, Defense, and Speed had soared greatly, but his intelligence had decreased by the same amount.

He roared so loudly and violently that it caused delayed shockwaves that blew through the area. Misery, AP, and Nightwalker were pushed back slightly, and their expressions became grim.

Surtur stopped roaring and was about to speak when Shadowheart appeared beside him and grabbed his face.

"Nihil."

Immediately, Surtur felt a wave of light grey energy head into the very core of his existence and aim for the Demonic Source that gave him his power. It was like a tidal wave that aimed to wash away every single inch of his power and then suppress it forever.

Surtur had never felt a crisis like today. He felt like if he allowed himself to succumb to this attack, he would be doomed for all eternity.

Surtur roared and released his power wantonly, not caring about any possible backlash or harm to his foundation. The grey wave from Shadowheart encountered intense resistance and was almost blown away, causing the man himself to grimace deeply as blood leaked from the side of his mouth.

Shadowheart's eyes also became red with madness as he staked it all on sealing Surtur today. The two remained in a silent stalemate, one flashing with red demonic energy and the other emitting a grayish aura.

Suddenly behind Surtur, AP_Berzerker appeared. He then slapped the back of Surtur's head with his bloodline axes and smiled cruelly.

"Stuck in a life and death stalemate? One where the slightest interruption could tilt the balance? Let me help you out then brother Surtur!" AP roared righteously.

Bang! Boom! Bang!

AP wickedly used his axes to slash and whack Surtur all over, leaving shallow cuts on his skin and some slight bruises due to the sheer force of his max strength.

"Brother Surtur, don't worry! With this, it will strengthen your resolve and prevent distractions, so you can defeat the evil fellow opposite you!" AP bellowed with amiability, showing a face full of sincerity and honor.

Misery, who was helping Elle to her feet, had his eyes light up.

"Sister Elle, quickly recover with Brother Nightwalker. My soul is screaming to cause trouble!" Misery hurriedly said as he carried Elle to Nightwalker and then rushed upwards to join AP_ Berzerker.

Elle, who had recovered enough, had her lips twitched as she knew that the fellow was going to play around. Seeing the concern in Nightwalker's eyes, she waved a hand and rose to her feet.

When she saw Shadowheart's bloodshot eyes full of killing intent and madness, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly flew up and appeared behind Shadowheart, then hugged him gently from behind.

"Connor, its okay… I'm here. I'm okay now." Elle gently whispered into his ears.

Like a drowning man being pulled from the sea, reason and elegance returned to Shadowheart as his eyes became clear and he felt the familiar warmth that he so dearly loved.

Shadowheart half turned and smiled gently. "Thank you, Lily. Without you, I would be lost."

Meanwhile, Misery appeared and pointed his spear at Surtur, and smiled. "Brother Surtur, we are traitors of the golden Savages here to help you out. What we want is not money, or power, but to send a message!"

Misery then opened his purple tome which automatically flipped to the page of a 5th-order spell: Elemental Touch. This spell allowed one to infuse a certain element into their palm and offensively use it against a foe.

Misery chose to use ice as it suitably countered demons, and rushed forward.

"Brother Surtur, let me help!" Misery roared with valor as he imbued both his palms with ice and grabbed Surtur's two horns. Then he brought the fellow's face down and collided with his knee, smashing his nose and causing blood to fly.

While Misery did this, AP continued to thwack his back with his axes, causing blood and flesh to fly whereas the remaining blunt force caused Surtur's organs to quake.

As for Surtur, he was dizzy and confused about life.

I, Surtur, was born in the Demon Refinement pool of the Royal Family and named King at birth. I killed raped, slaughtered, and tortured all my life and eventually grew this province from nothing into something.

What did I ever do wrong to deserve this?

Shadowheart, who was now calm, retracted his hand and stopped using Nihil on Surtur. It was too draining and would cause him damage in the long run, which was why Elle even stopped him.

Misery and AP, who were having fun, were blown back by the eruption of energy from Surtur and regrouped with Nightwalker. The five glanced at the Demon king whose body was shaking with anger, humiliation, and some bit of fear.

While both sides were cruelly staring each other down, a notification suddenly appeared.
