"Everything will be done according to your orders, my lord." While his voice resounded with Alvine, his body was already in front of the dragon!
[Heavenly sealing lightning!]
At the sa ti, the dragon once again activated his chains of hindering to seal the new guest, and, at the sa ti, he shredded it with his draconic teeth!
But regardless of his attacks, the shadow soldier looked like an elusive black smoke, not to ntion being affected by the dragon's flash chains!
Then, without waiting for the dragon to wake up in his state of shock, the shadow soldier grabbed his giant scythe behind his back and murmured in a tone devoid of emotion...
[Scythe's skills: Soul collector!]
-Silent Slicing!
The shadow of death instantly slices the dragon's neck with this scythe skill, giving Alvine the impression of seeing him teleport behind the dragon.
But strangely, although Alvine was sure to have seen his shadow soldier slice the dragon's neck with his scythe, he could not understand why the dragon's head was always connected to his neck.
But before he could conclude that the scythe soldier had missed his blow, the dragon's gigantic body began to float instantly towards the sphere of gluttony that constantly continued to absorb everything around it.
"!"
Seeing this, Alvine instantly deactivated his law before the red sphere absorbed the beast's corpse. He was not convinced that the dragon was dead just by using his perception, but what made him sure was to see his servant stand nonchalantly behind him after attacking the dragon.
"H-He's dead, isn't he?"
"Yes, my lord."
"..."
'Even if I don't know what just happened, nor the effects of the mysterious skill he had just used, it's already a miracle that I can breathe again. If the sphere had absorbed this dragon, I would not be surprised if my body exploded because of an energy overload. In all honesty, without his intervention, I would not have an option that will allow to co out unscathed in this battle.' He continued in his thoughts with a sigh of relief.
He then points to the dragon's corpse in the crater he ford after his fall. And a black portal instantly engulfed the dragon's body simultaneously, returning him to the shadow dinsion.
-Cough! Cough!!
After this action, he realized that he had no more dark energy left in him after such a battle while maintaining his shadow shield for a long ti, which his body did not allow him to do.
"My lord, my level is a little higher than yours. If I stay with you too long, you may suffer irreversible damage."
'Hm? So he's the cause of my exhaustion, huh? Sigh, even after reaching the divine rank, I didn't expect to be so weak yet.' He said to himself, sitting on the ground with his legs crossed to stabilize his cultivation realm.
"Very well, you can leave now." He then ordered.
"..."
"Hm? Ah, that's true; after your evolution, I guess you need a na now?"
"Yes, my lord. Please give a na." He made this request while bowing slightly in front of him.
'Hmm, no matter how I look at him in this black hooded dress, he looks more and more like a reaper I had seen in fantasy comics. Not to ntion his look, his skills are also based on spiritual attacks.' He expressed himself thoughtfully while inspecting the scythe soldier from top to bottom.
After a while, he nods after making his decision. "All right, your na will be Zakiel from now."
"Zakiel? It is the greatest honor to receive this na from you, my lord." At the sa ti, Alvine felt overwheld by new information about Zakiel's rank and skills as he beca a black smoke and returned to his shadow.
After Zakiel's departure, Alvine remained sitting on the ground with incredulous eyes after acquiring the new information, which he could not help but doubt their veracity.
'Hahah, I now understand why this guy took almost all my energy from . To say that he will no longer stay on the first floor? I wonder how powerful I would be after reaching the castle's second floor.' While talking to himself, he looked at his shadow clone with a ridiculous smile.
"Finally, I no longer needed to use you. You can leave now." He said, casually waving his hand towards the clone he had instead invoked as a last resort. The clone in question had no other purpose than to serve as a receptacle for Dalvine, whom he wanted to invoke as a last resort. But instead, Zakiel had managed the most critical problem as if it were just a health walk.
'Speaking about him, I wonder what he's doing right now. Since he replaced my fictitious soul, I have never heard from him. Tsk, knowing this madman, must really have a good ti with Randolph. But even if I have to go to earth to recover the key that will allow to access the second floor, I now realize that I must, above all concentrate on increasing my cultivation before venturing to such a threatening planet that is managed by an enemy who is as powerful as Sabrina.'
Crack! Crack- crackkkk!!
But at this mont, the energy do began to break slowly after the death of the demonic dragon.
Alvine frowned, seeing another problem arise again following the energy fragnts from the do that flew towards him to rge with his energy.
But unlike the energy of tribulations, the do's energy is independent of tribulations, a barrier that the owner of the Sealing Crystal had launched.
'Tsk, tsk, what boring bastards. You still don't think I will absorb the magical energy of this mysterious do that ca out of; I don't know where?! Even a blind man will understand that the energy used to create this do differs from the energy of tribulations.' He replied with bland air as his body temperature gradually increased, followed by the appearance of the black firestorm that rose above him.
At the sa ti, Linn, who wanted to approach him, suddenly stopped when she saw Alvine's body catch fire as if it were combustion.
*Are you okay?* She asked telepathically.
*Don't worry about ; everything is fine. But give a second to take care of this energy debris before you approach . * Alvine responds while continuing his ditation in the middle of the black flas.
'Until now, I could only use a tiny part of my gehenna flas, but now, let's see their limits.' He said to Himself, closing his eyes.
Unlike other flas, Alvine's Gehenna flas are flas similar to his universal law. If the sphere can absorb all body and incorporeal matter, gehenna flas burn everything on their passages, including the soul and the magical energy itself!
Therefore, it was the most suitable solution in his current situation if he did not want to be affected by the mysterious energy of the do that was peacefully booing toward him. Even though these energy flows seed harmless at first glance, Alvine felt the danger as soon as they targeted him. As a result, he did not take the ti to ask questions about their goals. Instead, instead,
-SHHHHH!!!
He left his flas extended in the form of a black tornado that stood ten ters high and five ters around him, burning everything that ca into contact with them without restraint, including the mysterious energy that wanted to reach him.
[It was a pleasure to attend such shows.]
Suddenly, the monarch's septic voice resounded next to Linn as he was about to withdraw without making history.
"Wait, who is behind these tribulations? And why did they want to kill him so much?" Linn asked him imdiately before he retired.
[Kuku, you will know soon enough, LINNAELLA.]
She frowned following the monarch's response.
[Heh~, instead of being wary of , you'd better prepare against the real enemies. In short, it's just a goodbye. Sothing tells that we will see each other again soon. And at that ti, I sincerely hoped that I would not have to get my hands dirty with the blood of one of the Punishers.]
Following these words, his shadow gradually disappears next to Linn.
"I guess we can't do anything about it; it's a sha." Linn retorted these words in a monotonous voice.
[Kukuk, you’re right, it's really a sha.]
These were his last words before disappearing completely, leaving Linn and Alvine alone.
At the sa ti, Alvine opened her eyes after confirming the destruction of all the mysterious energy around him. Following this, his flas gradually decreased until they went out.
He then looked over him with a sinister smile when he saw the clear sky with white clouds.
"Congratulations for having completed this step and also for reaching the interdiate divine rank." At the sa ti, his attention was diverted by Linn's congratulations words.
"Tks, you an for surviving hell, I guess?" He asks casually while getting up to the ground and dusting his pants.
"Fufu~, we can say that, in a way."
"Sigh, I would never have guessed that tribulation could be so dangerous." He continued to frown.
"... Um, it was." Linn gave this answer while avoiding his gaze.
"But tell one thing, you know who are behind these tribulations, don't you?!" Alvine suddenly asked monotonously as his frowning accentuated with a rabid expression.
"... I don't know."
"Oh, as if I were going to believe you? During my ordeal, I noticed a presence next to you, which, mysteriously, had an aura similar to that of the do that had imprisoned with the mana beast. You're still not going to tell that this presence and its aura are similar to that of the do, and the appearance of the mana beast are simple coincidences?!" He insisted when he saw Linn wanted to hide the identity of the suspicious guest from him.
But Linn did not change her expression when she noticed Alvine's suspicions about her.
"The guy who was with has nothing to do with those who tried to take your life. But are you sure that his energy was similar to the aura of the man who was next to ?" She asked in turn with piercing eyes.
"Why would I lie about sothing so important?"
Upon hearing Alvine's assertion, she remained silent as she thought about potential suspects.
'He doesn't seem to lie to about this. In this case, would it be one of the other two guards who is the author of all these attempted murders against him? Just like the monarch of corruption who was banished from our world, the other two monarchs are no exception either. But we do not know what they are based on or their concerns. All I know about them is that they are on a mission to find the traces of the goddess. But...
"You know sothing, don't you?" Alvine insisted, seeing her silence.
"Um, I have an idea indeed, but I prefer to confirm my suspicions first rather than give you erroneous information." She said these words after waking up in her daydream.
"Very good. For now, I will give you enough ti, but it's because only I would like to trust you. So please do not make regret this decision."
"..."
"Sigh; in short, now that I have finished these tribulations, it's ti to go ho." He said, reaching out to Linn.
"Hm? Do you want to go sowhere?" She asked when she saw Alvine's hand in front of her.
"Don't worry; I haven't forgotten my promise. Now that you have helped reach the divine rank, your healing is one of my priorities. But I would like to check sothing before coming with you." He said, grabbing Linn's hand after his remarks.
At the sa ti, without even needing incantations, the two gradually sank into his shadow.
