713 The Old After The Young (2/2)

Sensing the near-death feeling, Anna thought in desperation and fear, ”Is this the power of legends? A senior-rank item that only contains a slice of the air of a legendary knight is already so powerful?”

She struggled to turn to Katrina, trying to ask her to flee. However, under the deterrence of death, she couldn't make a sound after she opened her mouth!

”Huh. What's Sister Katrina doing…” When her head was almost black, Anna saw Katrina pressing a silver badge on which there were all kinds of mysterious symbols with her left hand.

”Haha. You will taste the death storm very soon.” Not caring about the shivering mist and magic circle, Andree laughed crazily.

Anna closed her eyes in pain. The pressure of death was so insufferable. However, she heard the high and distant voice of Katrina that was different from the way she usually talked.

”The roars from space summons the Atomic Universe…”

In shock, Anna saw a boundless cosmos surfacing behind Katrina. It was deep and dark, and the stars were releasing various colors.

”Space arrival?”

”Cosmos arrival?”

All the mercenaries had similar questions.

Then, they sensed the profundity of the cosmos and the subtlety of stars, as if endless mysteries were contained inside.

The feeling of boundlessness immediately eased their mind that was pressured by death. They could no longer sense any desperation or pain.

”What… What is this power?”

”Is it the legend level, too?”

In their widened eyes, a gaseous form changed into the all-freezing blue, and Katrina tossed out of a tube of colorless liquids.

Enhanced by 'Atomic Universe', the tube was broken without any spell, and the liquids hit the collapsing magic circle after being condensed into a weird ray.

The steam was frozen, the mist was frozen, the air was frozen, and so was the bursting black storm of death, which was turned into black snowflakes.

Amidst them, Viscount Andree was frozen, too. His items were broken, and his blood became solid. His shock was frozen on his face.

Then, the coldness was gone, and everything began to melt, turning into drops of water.

Looking at the incredible scene, Anna and the other mercenaries felt that they were still in a dream.

”Had I known that you prepared the ritual, I wouldn't have brought out the frame…” Viscount Carendia put Rhine's painting back. ”Evans' Freezing Ray?”

”Yes.” Katrina looked rather pale. ”It seems that Andree held the ritual to worship 'Demogorgon of Darkness' to increase his strength and potential.”

”That's probably right. It explains why he became the student of 'Storm of Death' soon after the ritual. Also, the Demogorgon of Darkness is the most devil-like Demon Lord. It's perfectly normal for him to develop believers.” Said Viscount Carendia, deep in thought.

...

Inside a castle, a mirror-like screen manifested everything that happened in Duda's manor.

”Master, you could've killed them easily.” A beautiful and sexy woman was kneeling next to a young man and feeding wine to him with her own mouth. She had a pair of cute horns on her forehead.

The young man touched the woman's hair and moved his eyes away from the screen. He had the exact face of Viscount Andree's!

”Hehe. Even if I did, so what? One of them is a grand arcanist's student, and the other is a vampire prince's close descendant. Do you think that things will stop?” 'Andree' smiled. ”If it were other sorcerers and vampires, I could've killed them and blamed it on somebody else. The Congress of Magic and the vampires wouldn't pay much attention to it. However, since they were the ones who came, I could only give them an 'answer'. After all, our plan has worked out, and the identity of Andree is no longer useful.”

The sexy woman nodded. ”Yes. If the Congress of Magic and the vampires keep investigating, our future operations will be a lot more troublesome. However, how did you know that the Congress of Magic would send Katrina, the Atom Controller's student? Otherwise, Duda would've killed Yakov and the other mercenaries while they were on their way.”

”Andree' smiled but did not give a straight answer. ”All in all, this is the end of everything. I do not want anything to happen to them, or Lucien Evans and Rhine might come in person. I hate the old who settle scores for the young after the young are defeated…”

Most importantly of all, he was unable to defeat the old yet…

He stood up. His facial muscles twisted, and his height reduced. He turned into an indifferent-looking, black-haired, middle-aged man.
