195 Death Laws (2/2)
Of course, this doesn't mean that the Devil Prince is underestimating Morel or Old Lee. He faced them multiple times already to know better than to slight them.
Morel, while not as effective in speed nor as overbearing as Leona in combat, severed both his arms back them. In fact, whenever the Devil Prince see his face, the joint on his shoulders would tingle in pain, acting as a reminder to be careful around him.
Old Lee on the other hand, is actually more terrifying than the two in his opinion. If there's anyone he knew in this kingdom who wants him dead, it would be him. Alastair never defeated Old Lee, he could force him into a draw if he gave it his all but he had never become a serious threat to Old Lee, not even now that age is catching up to him.
Now that his minions were all turned into mere ashes by Leona, the Devil Prince had no other choice other than to bring in something that will be more effective against them.
Inhaling sharply, Alastair spat out a thick black fog from his mouth. The black fog spread out almost instantly, forming a blanket on the ground. Seeing this black fog, Old Lee's face turned solemn as he immediately said:
\”Keep those fog at bay! Don't allow them to touch your body nor allow it to go outside! It's laced with his Death Laws.\”
After saying this, Morel instantly moved and grabbed his spear. He drew a long dividing line between them and the fog. A long gash that crossed from one end of the underground district to another, appeared. Morel raised his hand and grunted: \”Windwall!\”
Out of nowhere, a strong gust of wind raised from the gash. It's somewhat transparent but one could feel it's existence, the wind formed a massive wall that prevented that black fog from moving forward.
Leona also moved, she pointed her sword on the entrance of the underground district and then, a barrier of flame covered the entrance. This is another insurance for them just in case that the black fog managed to pass through Morel's windwall.
The Devil Prince wasn't surprised when he saw how they countered his attack. On the contrary, he smiled. It was evident that this is the outcome that he wanted. He clasped his hands together and the whole underground district shook.
Suddenly, pained cries and vengeful whispers echoed in every corner of the district. This sounds alone could drive mortals mad and insane, even those who had weaker cultivations would be greatly affected by this sounds. Out of nowhere, pale silhouettes rose from the ground.
These creatures were ethereal, they had deformed bodies and faces. Eyes red, moaning with harrowing sound, and carried an evil stench. They differ in sizes but they generally appeared as humans, at least they resembled one.
\”Vengeful Souls.\” Old Lee harshly spat, eyes narrowing in displeasure.
The battle to prevent the Devil Prince from going out of this place just became harder. Souls had always been the most difficult thing to deal with. Aside from Law-based attacks, nothing else could stop these things. Their incorporeal forms will enable them to pass through matter or energy without any problems. So far, no had developed any effective counters against them, specially considering the fact that these poor souls should've departed this world.
\”Onwards.\” A solemn command escaped out the thin lips of the Devil Prince.
\”OOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!\” Pained roars and vengeful cries were emitted by the Devil Prince's minion.
The Golden Knights felt a shiver down their spine. From what they could tell, the Devil Prince made sure to make these things extra durable, it was evident by the intensity of Death Energy surrounding them. All of them knew that Morel's windwall might not be able to stop these guys from reaching them
Knowing full well about the destruction that these souls could do if they allowed them to pass, the Golden Knights resolved themselves to not spare in efforts to stop them.
It was then that Old Lee finally stepped forward and took charge of the defense. He raised his hand and a massive spear made out of pure lightning appeared his palms. This evidently made the vengeful souls stop in there tracks with fear evident from the very core of their being.
