Chapter 418: Chapter 419: Aster Grant’s Death!
"Pfft..."
A sound like a ripe watermelon being crushed echoed in the dead silent heavens and earth.
Once filled with battle intent, Aster Grant’s eyes instantly lost all spirit.
His head, in Demon God Valley’s hand, burst into a mist of blood.
The headless corpse swayed, then powerlessly fell from the air.
In that moment, time seemed to freeze.
The sound of the wind, the waves, even the flowing of Heaven and Earth Laws, vanished.
The entire world was left with nothing but the slowly diffusing mist of blood, and the cruel, satisfied sneer on Demon God Valley’s face.
"No—!!!!!!!!!!"
After brief silence came heart-wrenching screams and cries of fury!
Lazuli’s golden eyes were instantly filled with blood, and two lines of bloody tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks!
Watching Aster Grant’s headless corpse fall, she felt her world seemingly collapse in that moment.
From the start of Lythos...
Aster Grant had been by her side all along.
No matter what challenges she faced...
With Aster Grant beside her, she had the courage to overcome them.
Even in the end, Aster Grant’s function was no longer just as her Beast Tamer; he had become her spiritual pillar for survival.
But now...
Her spiritual pillar had fallen!
In that instant, infinite sorrow transformed into a raging inferno capable of burning everything to ashes!
"Valley! I want you dead!!!"
She went completely insane!
Twelve wings pulsated continuously, igniting the Origin Fire of sacrificing life!
The Destruction and Guardian Laws intertwined and boiled in a way never seen before!
Her aura frantically surged, even momentarily surpassing the Totem Level limits, touching the edge of Pseudo-God!
But the price was her life burning at an alarming rate!
Seeing this, Vera too began to lose her mind.
"Master... Master!!!"
Her emerald green eyes turned entirely scarlet, the violent will of the Swarm King fused perfectly with her own pain and despair, even overpowering reason!
She disregarded any foundations or future, her soul, life, everything was burning furiously!
With all her might, a strange flower of life appeared behind her.
This was the manifestation of all her Laws of Life!
Yet at this moment, the flower phantom behind her began to wither, signifying her voluntary sacrifice of all Power of Life within her body.
The consequence of this was the eruption of Power of Silence enough to erode everything within her!
Simultaneously, the Devouring Law continuously gathered from around, until forming a black hole, wrapping around her, making her resemble a demon from The Netherworld.
However, faced with these two beasts burning life and going all out...
Demon God Valley, who had just dealt with his major threat, appeared exceptionally calm, even with a hint of cat-and-mouse ridicule.
"Ha... The anger of ants is always so laughable and pathetic."
Valley casually shook off nonexistent blood from his hand.
With the human killed, the trace of unease in his heart began to fade.
Most importantly...
With the existence resembling a Savior now fallen into his hands, what waves could the remaining few beasts possibly stir?
He watched Lazuli and Vera charge like mad, his eyes devoid of any gravity, filled only with amusement.
He even refrained from attacking actively, simply avoided the attacks of the beasts with ease, as if strolling leisurely.
"Tsk tsk, such touching... master-servant affection."
"Unfortunately, your master was too weak, too weak to even withstand a casual strike from me."
"Is such a master worthy of your loyalty?"
He dodged Lazuli’s slash, countered with demonic qi to blow Vera away, and continued:
"Submit to me! With your Talent..."
"Your future achievements might reach my current level! Why waste yourselves for a dead useless person?"
"Shut up! I’m going to kill you!!"
Lazuli’s assault became more frantic, entirely a life-for-life strategy, but each attack was effortlessly neutralized by Valley.
"How dare you... compare with Master?!"
Vera’s voice was hoarse, the black hole formed by Devouring Law continuously tore, yet couldn’t even break through Valley’s protective demonic qi.
"Obstinate." frёeωebɳovel.com
Valley shook his head, seeming to lose patience to continue persuading.
Although the beasts’ Talent made him extremely tempted, however...
If the two insisted on not submitting, he could only send them down to Hell to reunite with their master.
Gradually, the mockery on Valley’s face began to recede, replaced by cold killing intent.
"Since you’re determined to die, I shall fulfill your wish and send you down to accompany your useless master!"
With his power, even if the two beasts fought desperately, risking everything...
They couldn’t possibly reach his level.
Earlier, he had merely been playing with the beasts as if teasing mice.
Now that he couldn’t persuade them to join, he was bored with it...
It was time to clear the stage!
Once more, demonic qi began to gather around him, the same force coagulating as before.
"Last chance for you, submit to me and live!"
"Otherwise... perish!"
As demonic qi condensed to the extreme, his eyes reached the pinnacle of killing intent.
Yet the two beasts at this moment could no longer heed any words.
Their minds were entirely filled with a single thought.
Their master was dead!
No matter what... no matter the cost...
They must avenge their master!
"Kill you! We must kill you!"
The aura from the beasts’ bodies once again escalated, implying their burning lives grew even more intense.
Seeing their choice, Demon God Valley smirked sarcastically.
Indeed, in Alternate Space, all beings were equally foolish.
Faced with such a vast disparity in strength, they couldn’t recognize the situation.
If so, then die!!!
Subsequently, he violently thrust his hands down.
The savage demonic qi surged toward Lazuli and Vera.
As soon as this attack landed, the Tier One beasts would surely fall!
However...
No one at the scene noticed that, due to Aster Grant’s death, Sally had become entirely dazed....
Inside her body, a change was occurring!
Her petite figure trembled slightly, eyes hollowly staring towards Aster Grant’s fallen direction.
But deep within her soul, a hidden power began to slowly awaken.
A force indescribable by language, seemingly transcending time and space, ancient and unsettlingly mysterious.
Like a pebble thrown into a serene well, it stirred faint ripples within her.
Initially weak, even Demon God Valley nearby couldn’t detect it.
On Sally’s forehead, the golden clock mark originally faintly visible.
Began to emit an indescribable, misty glow capable of reflecting countless shadows of past and future.
