Divine Emperor of Death

Space trembled as purple light caged the area and burned the fabric of the void, causing destruction to ensue as though oil had been lit on fire. It never stopped burning unless it ran out of energy or was pulled back, but the man who unleashed it merely stayed in his position, appearing to be relaxed as he kept the Unfettered Ice Fiends at bay.

Another man who wore a golden robe simply extended his two fingers. His arms danced like snakes, controlling an array of azure-golden swords that sliced and diced through the Level Four Immortal King Unfettered Ice Fiends with ease.

Both of them took care of the western side of the vent, and the eastern side was being cleared by the Tyriels.

Although all of them were barraged by hundreds of Level Four Unfettered Ice Fiends, they were fairly able to hold their ground, and fairly was an overstatement, considering that they were rapidly running out of energy.

"Davis, go help them. I'm almost finished with the fourth point..."

Myria went around the vent in a clockwise direction, creating a pentagon-shaped formation. Right now, she was in the northeastern point, the place where Black Tyriel abandoned.

Davis was guarding both the first point and the fourth point. He used his soul body for the first point, which made it possible for him to be in two places, and considering the Unfettered Ice Fiends were wary of him, they didn't even near his soul body, choosing to concentrate their attacks on the other three.

"Help? Are you kidding me? My soul force is almost gone."

Davis almost rolled his eyes. To make his soul body seem robust and fool the Unfettered Ice Fiends, he had poured half his remaining soul force into it. If he extinguished his soul body of his own volition, it would naturally return to him, but if it was killed, then it would simply disperse.

At that point, the Unfettered Ice Fiends would be able to realize that he had been toying with them and come at him with full force.

"WAGGHHH!!!"

Abruptly, a terrorizing voice boomed out from a distance, causing all of their hearts to shake and some techniques to even falter, causing them to inadvertently fall into a disadvantage.

"WAGHHH! WARGHGHHHHHH!!! WAAAAA!!!"

The otherworldly screams grew steadier and louder as though coming from the depths of the abyss, causing Davis to look at the icy structure with his eyes wide.

The Level Five Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend seemed to be going crazy, and the strange thing was that he could feel despair seething in its voice.

As Myria was getting close to doing her thing, perhaps it could sense it was going to lose. Its arm shook, and its claws flailed, scratching the surface of the icy sealed structure.

The five of them paid no attention to its cries and continued working on the spirit formation and defending the foundation points. After all, there was no way it could break the ice formed by the Forsaken Sword Empress. That just wasn't happening, no matter how many times it tried.

"WAGHHH! WAGHH!!"

Time passed, and Myria was working on the fifth and last point, which Rea Tyriel and Black Tyriel guarded. However, they moved to the fourth point while Davis was on the fifth point, occasionally acting like he was going to make a move, abruptly appearing at the fourth point only to scare the Level Four Unfettered Ice Fiends away.

It seems like they also knew about his karmic attack since a Level Three Immortal King Unfettered Ice Fiend had seen him do so back in the tunnel pathway.

Nonetheless, there was only one thing that was glaring in their endeavor.

"Waghhh…. Waaghhhh…"

The Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend stuck in the ice was no longer moving its arms as desperately as before. Its screams grew less frantic and more pleading as though it was beginning to beg them to leave them alone.

"Aha! You damn creature. You killed so many of our true disciples, and now you want amnesty? Heh!"

Nyx Godwin scowled as he raised his hand and dropped, causing the Unfettered Ice Fiends before him to be crushed by the intertwined strands of purple right that burst into unheavenly flames that burned worlds and realms alike.

"That's it, Fairy Myria. We're just a sword's length away from completing our mission."

Garoe Rynn grunted as he kept his killing blades circling around him like a grinder, protecting the second foundation point. He hoped that this plan would work. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to retreat as they had squandered their energies more than necessary to defend these points.

Rea Tyriel and Black Tyriel weren't giving any opinions as they were already exhausted, running on fumes.

But for some reason, Davis couldn't help but feel something was wrong. His pupils moved left and right, looking at its actions before he suddenly realized something.

"It's not pleading to us… It's…"

*BADUMP!~*

Davis and the other's hearts clenched as they could feel a sudden yet spiked resonance with something. Their gazes couldn't help but suddenly fall on the frozen ice structure in the distance.

*Crackrack~ Crack!~*

A line of cracks appeared near the arm of the Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend, extending to its surrounding. But they saw the Unfettered Gargantuan ice Fiend didn't do anything. Instead, the giant heart, almost as big as the Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend, slowly inflated and deflated as though palpitating, causing more cracks to appear.

*Bang!~*

A small portion of the sealed ice structure shattered, causing the Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend to suddenly roar out in joy as it shook and struggled its body way out of the sealed ice, plunging to the ground.

"…"

For a moment, Nyx Godwin and everyone else, including the Level Four Unfettered Ice Fiend, seemingly forgot how to fight, looking at the huge figure descend to the ground, their eyes still on the palpitating heart that suddenly went quiet.

They could sense that the aura leaking from the heart obviously became weakened, and the moment that realization hit their minds, their expressions changed. The Unfettered Behemoth Ice Fiend had obviously sacrificed a whiff of its essence to free the seal a little bit, allowing the Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend to become free and descend!

"Run!"

Davis instantly grabbed Myria's hand, shooting toward the distance. The others did the same, instantly abandoning their posts while the people at the narrow entrance were already retreating like it was doomsday.

"WAHAHAAHA!!!"

The Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend cackled with a screeching voice.

Before it could even reach the ground with its two feet, it smashed the ground with its fist, causing numerous fissures to appear within the icy surface as they suddenly caved in.

Davis was a few hundred meters away from the vent already, but with the ground caving in and revealing many tunnels that they had never seen before, the icy airflow abruptly changed, causing intense chaos as some areas were sucked in and some were blown away.

*Vrrppp!~*

Garoe Rynn was blown away to the distance, but the other four, Davis, Myria, Nyx Godwin, Rea Tyriel, and Black Tyriel, were all sucked into the many tunnels, not knowing where they were sucked into but instantly decided that it was the abyss.

Quickly, they all took out their life-saving spatial talismans and crushed them, causing them to disappear from the scene.
