Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 396: Chapter 279: Tit for Tat, the Demon Flame Soars, Shocking All (Part 2)

This wasn’t a head-on battle, just a remotely placed seal!

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

This was precisely why they had all gathered here.

"They’re here."

Just then, Carlos’s expression shifted slightly. Not long after, a commotion was heard from outside. Hua Yuanhang’s group and a few staff members walked into the hall, carrying an unconscious Zeno on a stretcher.

At a glance, they saw Carlos and the others gathered in the hall, and they froze for a moment.

But Hua Yuanhang quickly realized why they had gathered. A wry smile touched his lips as he led his people over.

"Brother Hua, you’ve really made us Divine Sealers proud this time, haven’t you?"

Maxis said coolly.

"This time... it was truly our failure."

Hua Yuanhang didn’t argue, a bitter smile on his face.

He knew that he and his group would probably become the laughingstock of the organization this time.

’But what could he do? They wouldn’t believe him even if he told them—that someone from the secular world could be so powerful.’

’He couldn’t help but recall the terrifying pressure from when Yi Beidou had unleashed the Eighth Layer of Reverse Chaos. It was a power so immense he hadn’t even been able to look at it directly.’

’Unless these people experienced it for themselves, their preconceived notions would make it impossible for them to understand.’

’It was like trying to comprehend how a simple villager could suddenly present you with the technology for a nuclear bomb.’

"Everyone, now is not the time to discuss this. I need to see the leaders. Zeno’s condition can’t be delayed any longer, or his injuries will worsen."

Hua Yuanhang said.

Along the way, Zeno had already grown visibly thinner. He could feel the seven Demon Flame Needle Stabs inside Zeno’s body, constantly burning through his energy to sustain themselves.

If they weren’t removed soon, Zeno could genuinely be drained dry.

"Mr. Hua, a seal placed by some secular person from afar... and you think it’s worth alarming the leaders? You two are Celestial Generals, yet you don’t even have the courage to make an attempt?"

Qin Yuan said dismissively.

"Donghua Yi Beidou warned us. He said the leaders must handle this personally, or there could be unforeseen consequences."

Hua Yuanhang said.

"So, just because Yi Beidou warned you, you’re going to obey? Have you already gone over to the secular side?"

Maxis said, smirking.

Hua Yuanhang frowned at his words, glancing over at Bai Heng, who came from the same faction. But Bai Heng just gave him a slight shake of the head.

"That’s enough, Mr. Hua. There’s no need to disturb the leaders over this. We gathered here for the express purpose of resolving this issue."

Carlos said with a wave of his hand.

"So, a quiet room then?"

Hua Yuanhang asked. He knew he couldn’t persuade them. Besides, the leaders were right here in the building, so nothing catastrophic could happen. With that in mind, he said no more.

"Unnecessary. We’ll do it right here. This is hardly a complicated matter."

Carlos refused. freёweɓnovel.com

’He’d already heard the whispers and rumors from the lower ranks. He had to resolve this matter now, out in the open, for all to see. How else could he quash the rumors and steady their morale?’

As he spoke, the Qi and blood within Carlos began to circulate, and a strange aura manifested on his skin.

Instead of flushing red from the circulation of his Qi and blood, his skin grew progressively paler. A thick, ghastly black smoke seeped from his body. A grim aura of death spread through the air, chilling everyone to the bone, and the entire first-floor hall felt as if it had been plunged into an ice pit.

The black smoke coalesced into the form of a black robe, shrouding him completely. His eyes were no longer visible, replaced by two points of crimson light.

In that moment, Carlos seemed to have transformed into the grim reaper himself.

Carlos, codename "Death Order Walker".

Then, as everyone watched, Carlos leaned down. His crimson gaze locked onto a point on Zeno’s chest. He thrust a finger down, injecting black death energy into Zeno’s body. The energy entangled itself with the Demon Flame Needle Stab left by Yi Beidou, intending to yank it out in one swift motion.

But at that exact moment, the previously stable Demon Flame Needle Stab was provoked, and it instantly erupted.

’This was the terrifying Demon Flame that Yi Beidou had created by activating the dreadful Eighth Layer of Reverse Chaos—a flame imbued with the aura of the Demon Flame Throne Dominator!’

BOOM!!

In a flash, an amber-colored Demon Flame, condensed into a piercing cone, erupted from Zeno’s body. It shot straight for the ceiling, punching through the floor plates, and soared nearly fifteen meters, blasting through four full stories!

As for Carlos, the hand he had pressed down was instantly impaled by the Demon Flame Needle Stab. He not only failed to remove it but had to snatch his hand back, his face twisting in pain.

Blood oozed from where the Demon Flame Needle Stab had pierced his palm. His skin and flesh twisted and cracked open. What was even more terrifying was that the Demon Flame didn’t extinguish. Instead, it clung to his skin, threatening to spread up his arm.

The ghastly black smoke of death energy surrounding him seemed to be acting as fuel for the Demon Flame.

The other Divine Sealers erupted into an uproar at the sight. The rapidly shifting expressions on their faces were quite a spectacle.

The moment the Demon Flame had erupted, they had all felt a bone-chilling terror. The hair on their bodies stood on end, and they had to fight an overwhelming urge to retreat.

’They knew this wasn’t a matter of Carlos being weak. If any of them had been in his place, the outcome likely wouldn’t have been any better.’

’This was the seal placed by someone from the secular world? How could it possess such terrifying destructive power?!’ frёeωebɳovel.com

In that moment, it felt like everything they knew was being turned upside down.
