Chapter 1441: One of Us (1/2)

Qin Lie had always thought of Thamur as a deadly threat since the day they met.

Back when the Flaming Sun Abyss had just been an Origin World, Thamur was already murking the waters and setting the other three transcendent races against one another. When the dust settled, he would then show up and claim the ultimate reward for himself.

After Thamur and Oktan had joined hands, they had nearly succeeded in killing Indigo and robbing the Origin Crystal for themselves.

If he hadn’t been luckier that day, the Origin Crystal might’ve been transformed into one of Thamur’s deadly weapons already.

At the end of that expedition, he had tried to kill Thamur and Oktan after his successful fusion with the Origin Crystal. However, his attempt had been thwarted to his surprise.

Thamur and Oktan had escaped into Oktan’s secret art’s black hole at the time, randomly thrown to the outer space. Qin Lie had thought that he would never seen them both again, and that they were both dead for sure.

But not only did they turn up in the Flaming Sun Abyss, they had both broken through to rank eight bloodline.

This meant that they had become a great thorn in his side once more.

Thamur was a cunning and deceitful person. He was much, much harder to deal with compared to the rank eight Abyss Devils.

As long as Thamur was still alive, he couldn’t feel settled even as he fought against the rank eight Abyss Devils. It was because he had no idea what kind of cunning ploy Thamur would pull on him while he was still around.

That was why he thought that killing Thamur was his foremost priority right now.

When the Abyss Devils saw that Qin Lie had set his sights on Thamur, they chose to stand still or move away from the Soul Race clansman.

They had willingly opened up an area for Qin Lie to do battle with Thamur.

“Hey, I’m just here to be an observer, you know. I’m no Abyss Devil, and I can’t take over the Flaming Sun Abyss even if I somehow manage to kill him.” Thamur couldn’t help but complain when he saw the Abyss Devils opening up a wide space for him and Qin Lie. “I’m just here to watch the show, I’ve no interest in his heart. You all can’t possibly think that I’m a threat, do you?”

He turned to look at a rank eight Abyss Devil.

The Abyss Devil he was looking at hadn’t devilized. He looked just like a human being, except he had purple hair, purple eyes, and a broader body than normal.

“I don’t care if you’re interested or not. I just want to see you die first.” The Abyss Devil chuckled strangely.

“I see…” Thamur said quietly.

“Sizzz!”

Suddenly, a shiny beam of light that looked like a crystalline thread flew out of Thamur’s body.

The beam of light instantly struck the chuckling Abyss Devil, inciting a terrible scream as the latter’s body started rotting and melting all of a sudden.

“That’s...” Cohen of Black Bog Abyss frowned as the Abyss Devil fell apart due to the strange light. “The Light of Annihilation! That’s the Light of Annihilation!”

Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!”

Thamur let out a shrill battle cry, and even more strange light that looked like icy debris started flying towards all nearby living beings.

The Abyss Devils, Betty and Indigo were all within his attack range.

Oktan was the only one who wasn’t attacked by the strange beams of light. Everyone else had one or more light beams flying towards them.

“The Light of Annihilation!”

Betty of the Spirit Race had frowned as well. For the first time, she had withdrawn her smile and taken on a more serious face.

Grabbing Indigo by the arm, she pulled her away and moved to the side regardless of Indigo’s protest.

For some reason, the space she moved through was filled with tiny spatial patterns.

It was almost as if she had been passing through different layers of space all the time.

When the Light of Annihilation rushed toward her and Indigo, it was kept away by the strange spatial patterns. It failed to touch even the corner of her sleeve.

“Zzzt!”

But unlike Indigo, the rest of the Abyss Devils weren’t so lucky. A lot of them were caught by the strange light beams.

Even the tiniest brush against the light beam was enough to draw painful screams from the Abyss Devils. Their bodies were slowly but surely crumbling under its power.

“How does it feel?” Thamur asked ominously.

The Abyss Devil who had spoken to him earlier was already melting down to his very bones. It was obvious that he wasn’t going to live for long.

While speaking, Thamur continued to spread out his soul thoughts and control the beams of light remotely.

Every light beam had a wisp of soul thought attached to it. It was how he was able to control them all at once.

The controlled light beams swam like agile snakes in the sky and went after the escaping Abyss Devils.

The thickest among the light beams were sent flying straight towards Qin Lie.

“The Light of Annihilation…”

Qin Lie didn’t try to dodge out of the way. He simply waited for it to come as the whirlpool surrounding him slowed to a stop.

All the while, he was staring at Thamur coldly as a sneer peeked out of the corner of his lips.
