Vengeance of the Returner Chapter 141: Envy

"Why is nothing happening?"

Felisha muttered gazing at the chain.

She then drifted her hand towards where her tattoo was located. The snake that represents Nix's life force has vanished yet, the deal seed to be still intact.

{It seems he has been sent to the underworld as his mortal body got destroyed.}

Astaroth said by telepathy.

"Then how are we supposed to win over this?"

{This is why he has called you.}

"He wants to fight?"

{It seems so. Over the past few days, he was strange...}

Without finishing the sentence the dagger abruptly levitated and sped straight towards the sword energy that was released by Nate, the disfigured body. The chain dangled as it moved on its own along with the dagger with which it was attached while glowing imnsely.

It seems like Nix's calculations were amiss or might be right but, winning the clan war.

"Rawwwrrr!"

A wyvern breathed fire and destroyed mbers that were brought to fight the battle were turned into ash within re seconds. Followed by him, the five deputy commanders jumped down their Mutinos into the destroyed land. Noticing them the morale of the mbers imdiately grumbled.

Rebecca stood there clutching an old broad sword and stared at them unwaveringly. Behind her back was a huge bag. As though it was containing sothing big.

"Ohh? White Knight, Rebecca of Ranrak, My expectations are really on point! Where is he now?"

Feroz Khan asked in a mocking tone sitting atop of the Wyvern.

"Long ti no see! You look like a deeply burnt corpse?"

He said, staring at the burnt down Nate.

"Ahhh! Ahh!"

Words didn't co out of his mouth as much as he tried all he was able to do was scream.

"He died..."

Rebecca replied and took a posture with her trembling hands and pointed her sword towards him.

"No need to fight now. I am here to talk with him and help Nate here. I believe he will return to the Mid world soon."

He said and dismounted from his Wyvern and walked towards Nate.

Nate was indeed healing up but his body could take at least one or two hours to just regenerate half the flesh he lost. Nate was blind yet, he was able to sense mana and the presence of the others around him.

Nate turned towards his mbers and stretched his hands out and slowly a green aura surrounded his hand and connected to the five deputy commanders and others mbers in the vicinity except for Feroz khan.

"Ahhh! Ahh!"

Many people scread as their souls were sucked by him including Rebecca and other mbers.

Noticing the sudden change Felishia teleported with the dagger in her hand and went closer to Rebecca and fell back several distances out of the city by teleporting. After all, she was a Demigod so her teleportation skills are far beyond any other human comprehension.

This was how she teleported in tis of ergencies instantly, even though she was roaming around on other continents. Although there were few limitations to that skill that was ager considering what a normal human or an outsider can do.

"Hah hah! What just happened?"

Rebecca uttered in a daze.

"He is absorbing souls to regenerate faster"

Felishia replied indifferently and sat on a nearby rock.

"What happens now? Nix will co back right?"

"I don't know what he has in mind. I don't even understand what his plan was... How will he fight a demigod? I cannot defeat him so how..."

She said and smacked her head.

"What? Demigod?"

Rebecca said massaging her temples.

"Envy..."

"Feroz Khan is the god of Envy?"

Rebecca asked, staring at her.

"Indeed, he is a Demigod... This fact is not yet known to others. I just noticed it now and I don't know what Nate Fraser is possessing..."

"How are we supposed to fight them...Should we fall back?"

Rebecca asked.

"Nix asked us to stay out of the city. Everything went accurately as he stated... I don't know what he has for backing up. But, I think all we can do is trust his words."

"I don't understand how he will return from death? Are you crazy?"

Rebecca yelled.

"We will wait and see..."

She uttered and looked at the proof of Covenant of liaison that was flickering and drifted her attention towards the chains of resentnt that was glowing in bright red along with the Dagger.

***

"Fuck!"

He uttered and turned back as he was falling down.

What he witnessed was a devil possessing thick brown skin and a piece of cloth draped around its waist just like Nix. Its nails were long like a rapier's blade without its hilt. It was around two ters tall possessing a lean body as though it was starving for months without food. Moreover, it possessed a single horn in its forehead instead of two.

This showed the hierarchy between devils. Devil's possessing two horns are the ones who'd gain authority to administer the systems of the Outsiders. While single-horned devils just work as punishers in the underworld.

He waited for the devil to approach him and abruptly grabbed the devil by its neck and climbed its back.

"You insolent human!"

The devil scread.

He just placed his dagger on its neck.

"Shh! just take towards the Labyrinth."

He coldly ordered and tightened his dagger on its thick brown neck.

Its wings fluttered as the devil tried to push him down from its back rolling its body in the air.

Abruptly a sci-fictional sound occurred as though a discharge was expelled out of a plasma gun-making everyone falling blind.

Nix noticed his chain disappearing from his hand and on the other hand, the intertwined snake tattoo glowed imnsely.

He blinked a few tis and opened his eyes and found himself in a barren land lying on the ground opposite to luscious won who were sitting atop of a big rock.

{Haha, how did this happen?}

Astaroth laughed.

He patted his body from the dust and grabbed the bag Rebecca carried and wore the chain mail and armor in it without replying to anything. The two won stared at him with their jaws dropped waiting for him to speak.

"The souls of Draconians are attached to for eternity. aning until my soul withers they are under my power. Even if I die I gain the power to use it in the Underworld. If possible in ether world too. That ans I have a chance to use it as a weapon if I lose it here."

He explained as he was wearing his pants.

"How did you regain your body?"

"I don't know... I was in a place that was surreal and everything was flashy..."

"Golden in color?"

"Yes..."

"It is the primordial place called no-path!"

"I see... I don't have ti to talk about this now."

He said and picked the dagger and shoved it into his boot and wrapped the chain that has lost its thickness around his wrist.

"Can you teleport and leave this vicinity for good?"

"Why what are you about to do?"

"Die again."

He uttered indifferently and picked up the bag which contained the Neon explosive which was several tis humongous than the last one he used.

He has thirteen lives remaining and he was ready to use almost even thirteen of them to take down his enemies. He was so fixated on killing them as he witnessed what happened to his town and his mbers in his future visions.

anwhile in the eastern part of Lerinare.

"Lady Cinzia we cannot wait anymore... As Lord Nix said we should leave now."

Dae Seok said holding the leash of the Mutino.

Suddenly a green aura slowly spread and reached towards the eastern border as three won ca running.

It was Yuko, Rachael and Daisy. Cinzia smiled and threw the rope ladder from the top. It seems they barely managed to survive as they were covered with several wounds. Rachael was used as a distraction in the middle section of est and center. She ca to the city along with Nix but was made to fight in the middle part.

Daisy was also the sa. He kept his promise by letting her accompany him but, only to a certain distance. Fortunately, the three of them t each other and made it to the border.

The green aura soon spread towards the end. As Yuko was slower than the others. Her leg and half of her body caught into the green aura. Her body slowly began to diminish and thinned down sucking her soul.

Rachael pulled her hand dragged by the ground and climbed the ladder along with Daisy.

"Rise!"

Cinzia ordered in a loud voice.

Gunther pushed Dae Seok away and lashed the leash to fasten the ascension of the Mutino. Swiftly it rose in the air and sped away from the Green aura.

Cinzia turned back and stared at the city worriedly.

"I was useless... If only I had powers like Felishia."

She mumbled inwardly wiping the bead of sweat the flowed down her forehead.
