The dark clouds in the sky did not disperse. Instead, more and more bolts of lightning flashed across the sky, creating a thunderous roar.
After Lightning and Maggie left with the injured witches, Ashes spat out a mouthful of blood and sank to the ground. Had it not been for the support of her sword, she would not have been able to stand.
That blow had almost consumed all of her magic power. Although magic power was still flowing into her body, the process was completely out of her control. It was as if every meridian in her body was being burned by flames. The after-effects of magic power exhaustion and the pain caused by the backlash superimposed on each other. It was simply indescribable.
She did not know how much longer she could hold on, but she was sure that she could not fall here.
Otherwise, everything she had done would be for naught.
The lightning bolt had undoubtedly wounded the Magic Slayer.
Half of its body, which was embedded with a Stone of Flight, had been vaporized by the golden lightning bolt. Apart from the fact that its movement had been restricted, its strength should have been greatly reduced.
But Ashes did not feel this.
The Magic Slayer was still exuding a dangerous aura. Her heightened Intuition told her that the enemy in front of her still had the ability to fight.
That was why she had asked Lightning and the witches to retreat as soon as possible.
In fact, she was not the only one who had caused the chaos in the magic power. A large part of it came from the overflowing power of the Magic Slayer.
"Stand up. We have to act before the enemy!"
Ashes clenched her teeth and slowly rose to her feet. She took the first step forward.
At this moment, the scorched Senior Demon struggled to its feet.
"Damn it, is it still alive?"
Ashes had aimed most of her power at the Magic Slayer, but she had not expected that her attack, which was powerful enough to annihilate a Mad Demon, could not kill a Senior Demon. If she had known this, she would have given it another lightning strike.
However, to her surprise, the Senior Demon did not turn around to flee, nor did it rush forward to fight her. Instead, it dragged its broken body toward Ösrook.
"What... is it doing? Is it trying to protect the Magic Slayer?"
"Very well." Ashes clenched the hilt of her sword.
Since that's the case, I'll send both of you to hell at once!
…
The moment the lightning pierced through the interference domain, Ösrook heard a call that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.
In that instant, a miraculous connection was formed.
Through the dazzling golden light, it saw something on a deeper level — it was a realm that it had always yearned for but could never reach.
With just a single glance, it had crossed the threshold and left its own imprint. This was the fundamental difference between it and a Great Dark Monarch.
But now, that gap no longer existed!
From defending Taquila to ambushing humans, it had paid a great price, and even disobeyed the Sky Lord's order.
But it was all worth it!
Feeling the power bestowed upon it by the Realm of Mind, Ösrook directly projected his thoughts into the junior guard's mind.
[Your Excellency, you … have been promoted? The latter was overjoyed, but it quickly dimmed. "Unfortunately, I will soon return to the Origin of Magic, and will no longer be able to follow … you. "
[No, I haven't leveled up. To be precise, I'm still one step away from leveling up. The Divine Will just now seriously injured me. In my current condition, I can't rely on my own strength to complete this step. "
[What … can I do for you? "
[Offer yourself. "]
The guard's thoughts became excited again. [Is that all? Please leave it to me, Your Excellency! "
Although it could also try to bypass the limitations of the Magic Stone and directly integrate itself with the Origin of Magic, just like the Extraordinary witches did, it was impossible to predict what the consequences would be. To be on the safe side, it did not mind enduring a little longer.
The communication on the mental level happened in the blink of an eye. When the junior guard used the last of his strength to climb up, the Extraordinary also slowly stood up.
No … it was no longer appropriate to call her an Extraordinary.
After more than 400 years, humans once again had a Transcendent.
Fortunately, the previous Divine Will consumed a lot of energy, and it would be difficult to recover in a short period of time. This was the best chance for it!
The junior guard finally reached Ursrook. Although it was only a short distance away from Ursrook, its life force was already as weak as a candle in the wind. However, its consciousness was getting clearer and clearer.
"Your Excellency … will our race one day be able to escape the cage of fate, win the Battle of Divine Will, and set foot on the sky that no one has ever reached? "
"There will be such a day, I promise." Ösrook paused and said its name. "Tartarus. "
Its eyes lit up as if it was the last ray of light before it was extinguished. "Then, please take my soul with you —"
The guard abruptly stood up and forcefully inserted his hand into his forehead!
...
Ashes could not help but be stunned, and then a great sense of crisis welled up in her heart.
The Senior Demon howled and pulled out the Magic Stone from its head, along with a large piece of flesh, and stuffed it into the Magic Slayer's body!
The wriggling black light around the wound suddenly swelled!
She suddenly remembered what Roland had said — demons needed to fuse with Magic Stones to enhance their power. Did Ösrook intend to complete the promotion ceremony under such circumstances?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, they had to be stopped!
Ashes endured the burning pain in her body and once again poured the magic power that she had gathered with great difficulty into her sword.
The thunder in the sky responded to her will. When the power reached its peak, she slashed at the target for the second time since entering the new realm!
Although the magic power she poured into the sword was not as much as the first strike, it was not much less powerful. The golden Thunder once again broke through the clouds and lashed at the place where the demon was standing like a whip.
Ösrook let out a shrill roar. The black light covering its body turned into a missing arm and directly grabbed at the lightning!
The two collided and immediately triggered a violent explosion. The whistling airwaves raised a large amount of sand and stones, and for a moment, the two people's vision was blocked.
When the dust gradually settled, Ashes's heart gradually sank.
The Magic Slayer's body seemed to be intact, and even the missing half of his body had basically recovered. The only change was that the new arm was several times thicker, and there were two long barbs sticking out of the shoulder and elbow, which looked like the limb of the Senior Demon.
However, the aura he exuded was completely different from before.
"I have to say, you're a rare genius among witches. Not only did you surpass the previous strongest human, but you also opened the door to the Realm of Mind. For a race with a lifespan of only a few decades, it's really commendable for you to do this. " Ösrook stretched out his five claws and easily tore apart the body of his own kind. Then he inserted a bottle of blue blood into his own body. "Unfortunately, you're not the only genius, especially for those of us who can live beyond the Battle of Divine Will. This is a difference that exists at birth. Although it's a little unfair, fate has no choice. "
