When Magic Dragon entered the Bramble Bird Kingdom.
At another location.
The border between the Strife Zones and the Mystic Zones.
The Soul Shrieker was stopped by Black Dog.
The long shrieking sound slowly faded away.
Within the smoke, all living beings in the area had their souls sucked away, their corpses carried away by the wind of the space vortex.
Black Dog stood still with the scepter of Death in his hand, completely unharmed.
『『That's impossible!』』
The Soul Shrieker stared at the scepter in Black Dog's hand and displayed a look of disbelief for the first time.
『『That era has already ended, the so-called Gods have already disappeared without a trace, you are nothing but a speck of dust left behind by time, how could you still wield the power of Death!』』
This statement sounded like it was venting, but also like a question.
Black Dog stood still and displayed a mysterious smile.
"Pitiful Abyssal monster, you know nothing of the past, and your understanding of power is too shallow"
Black Dog loudly declared while silently concentrating his will on the scepter of Death.
As he silently checked the scepter, his heart slowly sank.
— — -there isn't much power of Death left on the scepter, and the battle had only just begun.
The Eternal Abyss monster — — the Soul Shrieker was a powerful enemy.
It wielded the power of the Abyss, as well as the Envoy of [Chaos], capable of commanding both the power of Chaos and Abyss at the same time.
To stop its shrieking, Black Dog couldn't help but use the power of Death that had been stored on the scepter for countless years.
Indeed, ever since the Gods had left, it had been extremely difficult to obtain the power of Death in the following eras.
The power of Death on the scepter of Death was something that Black Dog had painstakingly accumulated bit by bit.
『「 I don't believe it! The era of the Gods had already ended!』」
The Soul Shrieker roared.
Behind it, endless grey fog rolled and rolled, slowly blotting out the sky.
A voice resounded from within the grey fog:
"Venerable Envoy, I've followed your summons and came here"
As soon as it said so, another voice resounded from within the grey fog:
"In accordance with our agreement, I have answered the Envoy's summons and came to fight for [Chaos]"
The voices didn't stop, as if more and more people were appearing from within the grey fog.
"I've come"
"How interesting. Lord Emissary actually asked me to appear in advance."
"Since I've been summoned, no matter what kind of existence it is, I'll kill it!"
"The battle hasn't started yet?"
The grey mist gradually dissipated.
Several dozen people appeared behind the Soul Shrieker.
"I know you, the Death-Retribution Hound of the Shrine of Death. You originally didn't have such great power, and you couldn't have fought against me when I had complete Chaos."
The Soul Shrieker continued: 『「 Come, since you have inherited the will of the Death God, let me see how long you can fight against the holders of [Chaos]』」
It made a gesture.
Over a dozen carriers of [Chaos] went past it and charged towards Black Dog.
Black Dog groaned inwardly, his expression becoming more and more serious.
These people all had their own unique Chaos Interface, and their strength had long surpassed that of an Overlord. With just their own strength, they would fall into a difficult battle.
If that was the case, the Soul Shrieker would immediately notice.
— No!
Black Dog raised his Staff of Death and chanted loudly:
"Everything has a beginning and an end."
"Come from the dust, rest in the dust,"
"Only souls can surpass everything and enter the secret Holy Land of Death"
Its voice abruptly became louder:
"SOULS!"
"I AM YOUR MASTER!"
Rays of dark light erupted from the Staff of Death and illuminated the carriers of [Chaos].
The Holders of [Chaos] who were running were falling one after another.
One after another, illusory figures floated up from their bodies and were pulled into the air by the dark radiance.
The faint figures struggled with all their might, screaming soundlessly and doing everything they could to return to their bodies.
"Souls, return to slumber"
Black Dog chanted the final line of his incantation.
Ooo ooo ooo — — -
The Staff of Death let out a sorrowful cry.
In the face of this Death Spell, all of the illusory figures' attacks became futile.
They were all sucked into the Staff of Death.
In just a single breath's worth of time.
The technique ended.
All the carriers of [Chaos] collapsed on the ground, lifeless.
Even though they each had their own unique [Chaos] UI, they couldn't resist this technique at all.
The Soul Shrieker's pupils dilated and exclaimed in shock:
『『Whispers of the God of Death!』』
It couldn't help but take a step back and observed Black Dog with a solemn gaze.
This was a long-lost technique of the ancient Deities, recorded in the Holy Church of Death's Holy Book, but for thousands of years, no one had ever managed to perform it.
Because of that, the living beings of the infinite worlds knew that the God of Death was no longer here.
But why did he see the spell work again with his own eyes?
After performing the technique, Black Dog stared at the Soul Shrieker again.
"What else do you have? Show it all to me"
Black Dog swung the Staff of Death and casually said.
While the other party was stunned, Black Dog once again used his mind to communicate with the staff.
— — -after harvesting the souls of the carriers of [Chaos], all of the power of Death on the staff had been used up.
When Black Hound Cha saw this result, an uncontrollable fear rose in his heart.
Without this staff, Black Dog wouldn't be able to go against the Soul Shrieker with his own strength.
His soul would be directly devoured by the other party.
"Soul Shrieker, retreat, in the face of death, you cannot take a single step forward"
Black Dog maintained a calm expression and spoke with a solemn tone.
In front of him, the Soul Shrieker indeed didn't move.
『『Bastard, that's impossible』』
The Soul Shrieker muttered as its gaze fell onto Black Dog.
He's clearly only a servant Deity, why does he have such power?
What other tricks does he have?
The Soul Shrieker clenched its fists tightly and silently evaluated the difference in strength between them.
Should I go up and test it?
While the Soul Shrieker was eager to try, it suddenly noticed a new situation.
Wait a minute — —
This Black Dog — — -
Its tail, which was originally raised high, gradually drooped down, and slowly fell down, sandwiched between its legs.
What does that mean?
Could it be that it's also making some sort of preparation and wants to attack while I'm at it?
The Soul Shrieker was hesitant and temporarily gave up on the idea of attacking.
…
At another location.
Black Crow was leading Su Cher, Anna, and Ning Yuechan through the space vortex.
"Do your best! Sir Black Crow! "
Anna encouraged him.
"Don't worry, Anna, we'll reach the Bramble Bird Kingdom before the Soul Shrieker does" Black Crow replied.
Anna's expression was a bit dejected as she muttered: "I wonder how sir Hound Deity is doing"
"Don't worry about him, he's been through a lot, so he's very reliable and won't get into trouble so easily" Black Crow replied.
"But he has a huge weakness, which is that I'm afraid of being seen through by the enemy" Anna said.
"Weakness?" Black Crow was surprised.
"Hm, he can't hide his true emotions" Anna sighed.
A pair of warm hands were on Anna's shoulders.
Su Cher.
"Anna, don't worry, even if the servant Deity can't deal with him, he'll at least have a better chance of escaping than us" Su Cher consoled her.
Anna nodded.
The two of them then turned to another direction.
Only to see the female cultivator wearing a rainbow-colored dress standing alone in front of them, staring at the endless space vortex.
Anna thought for a bit, then walked up and said: "Thank you for saving us before"
Ning Yuechan didn't turn around and casually replied: "No need to keep it in mind"
Su Cher replied: "How could I not keep the gratitude of saving my life in mind? I'll give you a piece of advice "
"Speak"
Su Cher pointed at Anna: "How about you give the authority to awaken that [Order] to my partner here, I'll accompany her to the Bramble Bird Kingdom, you don't need to return, because the Bramble Bird Kingdom will definitely become the battlefield of a great war"
Ning Yuechan went silent for a bit, then spoke with a slightly warmer tone: "… Thank you for thinking for me, but I have to return"
"Why?" Su Cher curiously asked.
Ning Yuechan lowered her head and spoke with a soft but firm tone: "There's someone I've been waiting for"
This statement instantly changed the atmosphere between the three of them.
For the girls, this statement contained too much gossip.
Su Cher and Anna exchanged glances.
Anna plucked up her courage and asked, "May I ask if she's your Dao companion?"
Ning Yuechan turned around and smiled: "It's not that far yet"
"Ah — –"
Both Anna and Su Xue Er responded with a meaningful sound.
This woman was a guard of the Bramble Bird Kingdom, so the person she loved was naturally a member of the Bramble Bird Kingdom as well. They might even be childhood sweethearts, or perhaps a male guard.
How strange.
The tense atmosphere of the great war was washed away by this topic.
— — it was clearly an extremely dangerous situation, but through this topic, the three girls were able to relax a bit and even get closer to one another.
Anna pointed at Su Cher, then at herself and said: "She's called Su Cher, 17 years old. I'm Anna, 18 years old, how old are you?"
"I'm a few years older, 22 years old this year" Ning Yuechan replied.
"I'll call you big sis — — - I really want to know what kind of man you're thinking about" Su Cher smiled and said.
"Why?" Ning Yuechan asked.
"Your Blade skills are too outstanding, normal people wouldn't be able to reach this level. Not to mention, your appearance is so beautiful, your personality so gentle and generous that even I feel like I'm falling in love with you. I really want to know what kind of person such as yourself would be interested in" Su Cher sincerely told her.
"You flatter me, don't keep talking about me, what about you guys?" Ning Yuechan was a bit embarrassed, so she smiled and avoided this question.
"We — — -"
Su Cher and Anna's eyes met and helplessly said: "We're a bit unlucky, falling in love with the same man"
Ning Yuechan had already noticed and asked: "What kind of person is he?"
"Hah, it's hard to say. Right, he's also a cultivator"
"Ah?"
Ning Yuechan became interested and asked further: "What kind of Dao does he cultivate? You should know that according to the different Dao a cultivator cultivates, it's possible to roughly determine a person's personality and behavior "
"Really?" Anna also became interested.
"Yes, this has already been proven a long time ago" Ning Yuechan nodded.
Su Cher found this interesting and cut in: "It's fine if I tell you, if we're talking about cultivators, he's actually a sword cultivator"
"A sword cultivator?"
Ning Yuechan's slender eyebrows scowled, her expression a bit unsightly.
Noticing the change in her expression, Su Xue Er and Anna asked at the same time:
"What's wrong with a sword cultivator?"
Ning Yuechan scoffed, then replied: "Cultivators who use swords these days mostly walk the path of agility and cunning, which means that they're already a bit unsteady"
"Taking it one step further, it's actually very rare for a sword cultivator to be a true man — — - I've always felt that there aren't many good sword cultivators"
Ning Yuechan appeared displeased and continued: "And here I was wondering what was going on. He used some sort of trick to make both of you give up your sincerity at the same time, then forced both of you to go through so much hardship, I hate people like that"
Anna and Su Cher were both surprised.
"Ah, about that, it was actually our own will" Anna awkwardly waved her hand.
Su Cher sighed and also said: "That's right, he didn't do anything to us, it's a bit hard to explain, but in the end, we just ended up like this"
Hearing them say that, Ning Yuechan felt even more displeased.
She put her hand on her Blade and casually said:
"You don't need to explain for a man like him, when we reach the Bramble Bird Kingdom, I'll take a good look at him for you"
An intense wave of Blade qi emanated from her body.
Su Cher and Anna exchanged glances and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
That's right, Ning Yuechan saved them as soon as she showed up.
Ning Yuechan was also worried that the two of them would run into some kind of scum, so she was worried for them.
Anna could see this, and so could Su Xue Er.
So they could only keep their mouths shut, not knowing what else to say for Gu Qing Shan.
