Onicuss staggered back. The shock of seeing Kyle manipulate space and ti to bring him back after he had already left the area was replaced by a sudden chill that ran down his spine as he digested the words spoken by nature's favorite.
Have you already forgotten ?
These words reverberated in his mind, hitting him like a bolt of lightning. Instantly, fleeting images from the past flickered in his mind, and he rembered the weak silver-haired man who had accidentally entered his territory, only to be ruthlessly beaten to the brink of death by him.
He recalled how Azazeal, his master, had co to find that man, but the silver-haired man had used a spatial tunnel to escape before his master could catch him.
"You... aren't you my master's friend?"
Onicuss mumbled aloud with a shocked expression. To think that human, that weak human he had beaten up in the past, was the nature's favorite! The future friend Azazeal was looking for!
His face grew even paler when the words his master had spoken to him at that ti began to ring like alarm bells in his mind.
['Increase your strength because you just made an enemy of my future friend. Just a few more years and he's going to beco soone who will rcilessly kill everyone who ever dared to lay a finger on him.']
Kyle tilted his head with a confused blink, not understanding the reason behind the sudden dread in the fifth shadow general's eyes. It was true he manipulated space and ti-two laws of nature at transcendent rank-when his body couldn't even handle it. But Onicuss was stronger than him, as he could sense that the man had just broken through to the second stage of supre rank. So why was he suddenly so scared?
"Your master's friend...?"
Darkness crept into his eyes when he understood the aning behind the fifth shadow general's words. There was only one master of the shadow generals, and that was none other than Azazeal.
Kyle let out a soft, mocking chuckle that was devoid of any hint of joy.
"Indeed, I am your master's friend. I wonder how you beca aware of this fact."
Hearing his shocking words, the twin demons and the demi-human were utterly flabbergasted. After all, they knew who the master of the shadow generals was...
Kyle disappeared from his spot, extending his fingers like claws to grasp Onicuss's face, but the man let out a piercing cry.
"Stop him, Wyatt!"
The supre-rank demi-human, who had fallen into a silent daze after hearing Kyle and Onicuss's conversation, snapped back to reality when the dark flower on the back of his neck glowed faintly and a jolt of pain coursed through his body, compelling him to obey Onicuss's command. He gritted his teeth and vanished behind the human
Just as Kyle's hand was about to reach Onicuss, Wyatt grabbed his collar.
However, a gasp of pain escaped his lips when golden flas erupted from behind him and engulfed his entire body.
Bia let out a frustrated sigh.
- "Why does everyone always ignore my presence until I have to intervene?"
The twin divine-rank demons cried out in despair as the hall began to fill with golden flas, and a massive phoenix materialized out of nowhere before their eyes. Because of Bia's imposing fra and the movent of her wings, the space began to tremble, leaving her montarily speechless.
- "Well, not my fault. It's because they dared to ignore my majestic presence!"
Kyle glanced back at the demi-human who had grabbed his collar with an unreadable gaze. He seized the hand on his collar and, with a swift motion, tilted half of his body back to punch the man, sending him flying backward further into the flas.
"Don't interfere. Bia, keep them occupied. Until I'm done with my prey."
The phoenix's eyes widened at his words. She could manage the two divine ranks, but she had only caught the supre rank off guard due to the perfect timing.
Unlike Kyle, she lacked the ability to manipulate the laws of nature and didn't possess imnse physical strength or agility. How the hell was she supposed to handle a supre rank all by herself??? She was just an ordinary transcendent rank phoenix, for the sake of the universe!
-"Wait! I believe this isn't right-!"
Her words were cut short, and her eyes widened as a blurry dark figure leaped out from the flas directly toward her.
Without thinking, she recognized it as the supre rank demi-human, causing her to cry out and flap her wings to fly backward. The wall behind her collapsed as a shield erupted from her body to protect her.
Wyatt's attack collided with the shield, causing it to shatter in a second. But the brief mont of pause provided Bia with an opportunity to escape the hall by soaring straight toward the
ceiling above.
-'Kyle, you bastard! I am sure I will be killed because of you one day!'
The hall's structure collapsed entirely after Bia's body collided with the ceiling, creating a massive hole to escape outside.
Kyle, who had seized Onicuss by the shoulder after sending Wyatt flying toward Bia, grimaced as the ceiling began to cave in. Dust and debris rained down, the sound of crumbling stone
echoing in his ears.
Without hesitation, he created a teleportation portal and quickly leaped inside, pulling Onicuss along with him as the man squird in his grasp.
He stepped out of the other side of the portal and tossed Onicuss's struggling form ahead, clicking his tongue in annoyance as he brushed the dust off his clothes. But his expression changed when he caught sight of Jas's flying figure passing on his left, crashing into one of the structures behind him with a thunderous noise.
"Huh?"
Kyle blinked as his eyes locked with the furious azure gaze of the floating man that appeared behind Onicuss, who had barely regained his balance in mid-air. Seeing the regal crest atop his head and the powerful, sculpted form he possessed, one thing beca clear: he was a
dragon.
"A water dragon..."
Kyle's eyes widened slightly, for there was only one water dragon who had allied with the dark side by betraying his own kind-Damien, the first shadow general. Damien was the very person his master in the No Mana Land despised the most.
