Roar!
The devil's roar echoed in his ears.
The devil's mirage appeared behind him.
A powerful magma body, a pair of blazing wings with shining runes, and … a pair of horns that were as straight as swords that could pierce the sky.
The arrogant and chaotic aura erupted like a volcano, tearing apart the aura that the Burning Marquis was suppressing on Kieran.
Wung!
The air trembled.
Under the distortion of high temperature, darkness appeared in between the two of them.
The darkness was as deep as the abyss.
"Huh?"
The Burning Marquis was stunned.
He looked at his eldest son with an astonished expression.
From the information he got from his men, he knew his eldest son had experienced all sorts of unfairness, the arrogance in his bloodline had a breakthrough and his strength would surely grow.
However, he didn't think his eldest son could still hold on after he loosened half of his aura.
"Is it Burning Dawn's inheritance?
Oh my ancestor!
You really like to joke around! "
With such thoughts in his heart, the Burning Marquis didn't have any scruples and loosened the restriction on his own aura.
KABOOM!
KABOOM!
The ground around the Burning Marquis' mansion started to tremble.
The deafening roars came one after another, one louder than the one before.
The darkness that appeared before Kieran's eyes was like a rising tide, shrouding the entire area.
"What happened?"
"Why is the sky dark?"
Loud noises came from the Burning Marquis' mansion and the civilians around it, especially those Imperials and nobles who came to fawn over the Burning Marquis, every one of them was in a panic.
They had been through a lot today.
More than they could imagine in their lifetime.
It was so much that they couldn't face it.
"Damn it!"
"I want to leave this place!"
"Leave this place!"
"I'll go crazy if I stay here any longer!"
…
"Kill! Kill them all and I'll be the only one! "
"Bastards, why aren't you all dead yet?"
"Die! Die! "
…
Voices sounded one after another in the darkness.
At first, they were still sane.
In the end, they went berserk.
The darkness brought fear.
Fear bred despair.
Some people bowed their heads and submitted in despair.
Some received nourishment from despair, growing stronger.
Kieran was the latter.
He looked straight into despair, fought against it, and defeated it.
Therefore, he was used to facing despair.
Even …
He enjoyed the process and the result of overcoming despair.
However, that didn't include the devil's shadow.
Under the stimulation of despair, the demonic phantom became even more furious.
It roared again and again.
It felt insulted!
It was a bone-chilling insult that was carved into the soul!
Then, it was obliterated to the point where only a trace of memory was left, and it surged into Kieran's mind.
On a boundless black plain.
There were no plants.
There were no stones.
The ground beneath his feet was paved with corpses.
The poisonous gas filled the world.
A tall figure stood in the center of the black plains like a mountain. His breath brought with it raging flames, and his gaze brought with it fear.
His figure brought despair.
Just like his title: Lord of Despair.
Within his line of sight, all living things bowed to him, and even the heavens and earth submitted to him.
He was the king of the Plains of Despair!
He was the ruler of the Plains of Despair!
He sat on his throne, ruling over everything he saw!
How could he be humiliated by a mixed-blood?
How could he be looked down upon by a mixed-blood?
Huu!
The fiery radiance that seemed to materialize shone on the devil's shadow behind Kieran.
Its rage was long gone.
It became indifferent.
Similar to his appearance.
It lifted its head, puffed out its chest, and stared at the Burning Marquis who changed reality with his aura with an even more contemptuous gaze.
The Burning Marquis was powerful.
Even in the abyss, he should have a place of his own.
But …
The Burning Marquis didn't dare to provoke the true King of Devils!
The radiance appeared in the darkness.
The specks of fiery radiance turned into an upside-down galaxy within a breath's time, pouring down.
The darkness was instantly shattered.
The people shrouded in darkness saw light again.
But the light wasn't the salvation born from despair.
It was the devil's hand that rose from the depths of the abyss and pulled them down.
Submit.
Or die.
It was up to them.
There was no time to consider.
There was no time to regret.
Those who submitted were spared from death, shivering in fear.
Those who resisted would die without a trace.
Bang! Bang Bang!
Amidst the heavy thuds, some nobles who thought they were hallucinating made their choice with their pride. They watched the farce with disdain, waiting for the final return to normal.
But they couldn't wait.
After the exploded heads and bodies, all that was left was blood, flesh, and bone shards.
Everything that happened around them was seen by the living. They were left with no other choice.
In fact, if they had a choice, they would rather stay in the darkness where they were cursed a hundred times and be tortured slowly instead of being 'interrogated' in such a destructive way.
The Imperials and nobles of Saint Cyanda crawled on the ground.
They wanted to live.
They had no other choice.
Feeling the pressure from the despair, the Burning Marquis laughed when he saw the people crawling on the ground.
He laughed his head off.
"Hahahaha!
Very good!
As the heir of my ancestor, as the continuation of my bloodline … you are qualified. "
Amidst the praises or self-praise, the Devil's aura on the Burning Marquis grew denser.
It was different from the mirage behind Kieran.
The Burning Marquis before him started to reveal some characteristics of the Devil.
His long black hair became as red as his eyes, and his skin emitted scorching hot air. Horns also appeared on his forehead.
Blazing flames engulfed the Burning Marquis' body again.
The Burning Marquis transformed into the form that defeated Darde the Titan.
It was like a falling meteor crashing down at Kieran.
Kieran looked at the approaching fireball without any expression.
The Devil mirage behind him laughed viciously.
It had waited for too long.
It was eager.
It wanted to teach this mixed-blood a lesson.
It made its move!
It pulled out a huge flaming sword from the void and slashed at the fireball that was flying towards it.
When this huge flame sword was swung, it whistled through the air and shook the souls of the surrounding creatures. The high temperature that spread from the blade caused the water vapor in the surroundings to rapidly disappear, and the ground started to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bang!
The blazing greatsword slashed at the fireball.
The unstoppable fireball was like crashing into an indestructible wall.
Both sides were in a stalemate.
Like two raging bulls, they swore to pick each other up with their horns.
If …
No one could stop them.
"Lord Marquis!"
"Young Master 2567!"
"Young Master Starbeck is missing!"
Wright the butler's voice came from afar, he didn't conceal his anxiety at all.
Silence!
Kieran and the Burning Marquis who were fighting each other went silent at the same time.
Then, two waves of terrifying, despairing, and unprecedented killing intent of the Devil soared into the sky.
The entire Dawn City felt like it was under the gaze of two real devils that crawled out from the abyss.
