Within a dark room, Jisvruul had created the final ritual.
At the center of the ritual circle, half a body was slowly bleeding out.
It was Fren, sliced cleanly in half.
"With the ritual started, I need to ensure this place is guarded well." He understood his task clearly.
Yur had explained everything to him in detail—even more thoroughly than to Velmira, primarily because he needed more clarification. Unlike Velmira, he was sowhat dense and significantly weaker.
Velmira was soone who could likely kill Demon Princes, while he could barely hold his ground against them. Both were Kyrrath demons, yet the difference between them was not small.
Jisvruul licked his fingers while sitting in his human form, which was demonically beautiful. He leaned against the wall, his clothes in tatters yet still covering his lean body adequately. Two horns protruded from the back of his head, bending forward. Large wings, a mix of black and light grey, wrapped around his long arms. His long black hair rested upon his shoulders and back.
He stared at the bleeding body with his silver irises, his expression calm.
"Hm?" While resting, he suddenly felt a strong aura approaching. Soone is coming.
Standing up, he stepped out through the door.
Outside, he found himself in the middle of a chaotic city. People were running everywhere, while atop the house he’d exited stood a large beam of light piercing the sky. He couldn’t see this from inside, causing him to frown slightly.
So, this is what’s attracting attention. He stared at the beam, clearly a landmark.
Then, gazing toward the distant sky, he saw a man covered in blue flas with large azure wings swiftly approaching.
A Rank Six? Feeling the energy, his body quickly began to transform.
From a tall man nearly seven feet in height, his figure expanded rapidly, becoming a horrifying demon over thirty feet tall and floating nacingly in the air.
"ARAAA!!" His terrifying shriek instantly killed thousands of mortals.
"Kyrrath?!" Celis flared from afar, brandishing his weapon. "Co!"

"What is that?!"
Bryant, amid his heated battle with Hugo and Nyz’s occasional sneak attacks, was covered in injuries. He was already weaker than Hugo, a much older and more experienced Luminous Heart cultivator. anwhile, despite being a Zorath, Nyz proved extrely troubleso when not confronted directly.
Suddenly, the soldiers from both sides stopped fighting. They turned toward Freau, staring at the beams of light and the dark, blanket-like sky covering it.
"What’s going on?!" Bryant imdiately turned and shot toward his kingdom. "SOLDIERS, RETREAT!" he commanded urgently, rushing back.
I can’t let him! Nyz, seizing the opportunity, lunged out from the body of a soldier he’d hidden within, claws aiming straight at Bryant’s throat.
"Fuck off!" Bryant roared angrily, kicking at Nyz. But without skipping a beat, Nyz tightly latched onto his leg.
His body rapidly transford, warping into a shadowy, grotesque form. Nyz’s limbs grew thin and distorted, covered by a cloak of flesh. Bony fingers wrapped tightly around Bryant’s leg.
"Demon!" Bryant, though shocked, was enraged by the sight. Panicking for his kingdom, he shouted urgently, "Hugo! Help kill this thing!" He desperately shook his leg, unable to free himself.
Nyz, in demon form, was no weaker than Bryant. Though he couldn’t overpower the man, Bryant similarly couldn’t overpower him. Bryant wasn’t Julian, he wasn’t nearly as gifted. Plus, Nyz had access to pure Demonic Essence, making him extrely powerful.
"You’re lucky this thing’s a demon, otherwise I’d watch you die!" Hugo reluctantly approached; demons took priority above all else for humans.
I need to kill this one quickly! Nyz hyper-focused on Bryant. Opening his ghastly mouth, he used his sharp, crooked fangs—closely resembling an imp’s—to bite deep into Bryant’s leg.
"AH!" Bryant roared in pain, repeatedly punching Nyz, inflicting heavy injuries.
Hugo stabbed Nyz with his weapon, but Nyz still wouldn’t let go.
"He’s a stubborn bastard!" Hugo was astonished by Nyz’s determination. Both cultivators attacked fiercely, but despite severe injuries, Nyz refused to release his grip.
"Just cut that fucking leg off!" Hugo impatiently yelled, not caring about Bryant. Swinging his blade, he swiftly chopped Bryant’s leg cleanly away.
"No—!"
Too late! Bryant’s leg separated, taking Nyz down with it. "Bastard!" Bryant shouted in agony.
"Shut up and die." Hugo lifted his blade once more, aiming for Bryant’s throat.
"YOU BASTA—" Bryant’s head fell before he finished.
Nyz, laying exhausted on the ground, sighed in relief. Soldiers quickly approached, fearful yet determined, blades raised.
At least he died. Nyz closed his eyes peacefully as blades rained down upon him.

"Both of you, I’m sending you sowhere special. Stay there, don’t move, understood?" Celis quickly opened a gate leading into the Azure world. "Go, quickly!"
Rose and Luna nodded and hurriedly entered without question. They didn’t know what awaited them or fully understand the situation, but seeing the massive demon approaching, they obeyed without hesitation.
After watching them safely depart, Celis turned his full attention to the incoming demon. "Co!" Raising his hand, confidence surged within him.
"ARRAA!" Another terrifying shriek echoed; Jisvruul was now much closer.
"Hmm?" Celis was surprised, feeling blood drip from his ears. He watched as Jisvruul descended upon him with open mouths.
Azure flas erupted from Celis’s draconic claws, slashing toward Jisvruul.
"ARAA!" The demon’s shriek extinguished Celis’s flas as easily as blowing out a candle. Flapping his wings, Celis narrowly avoided the massive jaws and clawed Jisvruul’s large throat, destroying one of its blinking eyes.
"ARAA!!" A pained scream escaped the giant demon, but the exploded eye released a disgusting smog rushing towards Celis.
Frowning, Celis tried dodging but was quickly surrounded. What is this?! Tears welled up as smog infiltrated his body. Holding his breath, he imdiately erupted with Blood Azure flas, instantly burning the smog away.
"RROOO!" Seizing this chance, Jisvruul launched another attack penetrating the dense flas.
Fucker! Celis turned his head sharply, noticing one of his wings now bent at an unnatural angle.
He frowned, realizing this enemy was far tougher than anticipated.
Master, a powerful Essence Forge cultivator is attacking !
Jisvruul, protect the Ritual with your life!
Yes, Master.
Knowing little help would co, Jisvruul continued relentlessly attacking Celis, yet Celis was too powerful—much stronger than anticipated.
"Burn!" Celis roared as the sky filled completely with Blood Azure flas engulfing Jisvruul’s enormous form.
Jisvruul, wings and tail burning, landed heavily, shaking the ground. Nearby corpses were instantly crushed, exploding into bloody rain.
Vru, once I handle this place, I’ll co assist you.
Hurry.
Jisvruul realized he was no match for Celis after their brief exchange. Celis could easily kill Demon Princes, while Jisvruul could barely resist them.
Velmira, what’s your status? Yur communicated with both demons simultaneously.
I’m using the bodies of the two Luminous Heart cultivators who attacked , along with surrounding cultivators, to create a powerful being.
Both n felt relief that Velmira thought this far ahead. Yur was busy with Julian, who was vastly stronger than him.
Velmira, once done, help Jisvruul, then send him to ! I’m fighting an Essence Forge cultivator!
WHAT?!
Both were shocked. Yur handling Rank Five opponents was already astonishing, but contending against Rank Six seed insane.
Master, let Velmira help you! I can stall this bastard longer! Jisvruul valued Yur’s life more than his own.
Just protect the ritual! It needs another half hour!
Understood, Master!
Ending their communication, Jisvruul stared at Celis, scanning the surroundings. No humans remained, everyone was dead.
I can lead him elsewhere. Taking a deep breath, his nurous eyes glared upward.
"ARAAA!" With another fierce wail, Jisvruul launched skyward.
"Co, demon!" Celis charged again, unaware Jisvruul had another plan.
Raising his massive arms, Jisvruul collided head-on with Celis. Though Celis dominated the exchange, Jisvruul pushed forward, ignoring flas burning his claws. Soon, both crashed violently into the large castle, instantly obliterating it.
But Jisvruul didn’t stop. Despite heavy wounds, he rampaged forward, drawing their fight far away from the ritual, leaving a thick trail of blood behind him.
