359 Two Essence Gods (1/2)
A man with a skinny body, red eyes, and ash-like skin was looking at an army that neared the tribe of the Dragon Race.
”Nearing the tribe openly while those monsters prepare a space barrier, that is a pretty good idea to make them fall in despair.”
The man was laughing when suddenly an ice spear pierced his chest. However, the man turned into a dark smoke before reforming his body again. Moreover, there wasn't any wound on his body.
”You have a pretty savage way to greet others.”
The man looked to the woman in front of him, who hadn't doubted in attacking before saying a word. However, for Essence Gods, a spear piercing the heart wasn't enough to kill.
”To think that you dared to provoke such a mess here... I have heard of you, but I still don't know how many planets you eradicated without reason.”
The woman's voice was as cold as ice, and even the vapor water in the air turned into snowflakes when she spoke.
”It wasn't without reason. I wanted to show my strength, so it is normal that some worlds disappear. It is their fault for being weak, how can I be blamed for that?”
The man grinned while speaking because he never felt that he did bad by destroying entire planets.
”This is the world of my father's best friend, and your current target is the son of that man. Do you think that you can still do as you want?”
There was an alliance between that woman's faction and Liye's father, so there was no way she could watch as an Essence God provoked such a mess in the world and tried to kill Yale without acting.
”Why are you so sure that I planned all? I am just laughing while seeing a war among ants.”
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to intend telling the truth, the woman started to grow angry.
”I left a seal inside the sea monster you have killed, and I know what happened before his death. You still dare to claim that this had nothing to do with you?”
The grin of the man just turned stronger.
”Eh, so you know that. Very bad, now I also need to kill you. I was planning to deal with you later, after having kidnaped your sister to use her as my hostage, but it seems that I need to start my plans ahead of time.”
Threads of darkness appeared from the man's body and attacked his opponent, but the attack was useless.
”It seems that coming alone was the right decision; I don't want to think what would have happened to my sister if I left her alone.”
Liye's legacy disciple was the first in wanting to go helping Yale by killing that man with red eyes, but in the end, he remained back taking care of his girlfriend.
Since there was an Essence God implicated in the plot, it would be dangerous leaving a Law God alone. Moreover, it was as the red-eyed man said, kidnapping her would be enough to put a restraint on her boyfriend and her sister.
”Killing you in a short time may be difficult, but you are dreaming of harming me. That man is already doomed, give up and follow him!”
The battle among the two started provoking that a lot of people in the western continent fainted by the leak of their auras. Fortunately, the space barrier of the sea monsters isolated those inside well enough, so they weren't affected.
Foreign Essence Gods like them shouldn't interfere in the wars of the world, but the man with red eyes had already broken that rule when he incited a war, so no one would be able to complain if he was killed by another Essence God in retaliation.
The woman had first thought in saving Yale's group first, but given that they didn't know her, it wouldn't be easy convince them, and even if they believed her, helping them would have left an opening for the red-eyed man to attack.
She had never met him before, but the red-eyed man was famous for his viciousness and his narrow-mind. He was once a member of the five strongest Law Gods together with herself and Liye before his reincarnation.
