222 Purge V (1/2)
Something that shocked Nero was to find out that Verius had made sure in case something happened to him, some of those Rank 3 Fallen would inform the Heavenly race everything they know about the Fallen.
The seven winged Fallen believed he understood the limit of Verius, but only when he discovered that plan did he realize how wrong he was.
That information made his decision of killing Verius and all of those who sided with him much easier.
The next step was to introduce a trojan horse. By using an extremely powerful necromantic spell, they were able to transform Dimitry into a special type of undead who still had his soul but who was under their complete control.
This was done by Totto with knowledge proportionated by Zatiel. The Lich was already very close to the peak of Rank 4 and his talent in necromancy helped him learn that spell very fast.
There were downsides to the spell, with Dimitry power dropping to the bottom of Rank 4 and him being incapable of using his Law Avatar. Verius would have been able to identify the changes with the Angelic Paragon if he had enough time, but he was too focused on the gathering and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with his soul, he thought everything was fine.
After that, the Neo-Demon inscribed the insides of Dimitry's body with Fiendfire runes. Despite just being a Rank 3 rune, when the fuel was the life force and soul of a Soul Forging existence, the power it reached was immense, to the point that it could equal Rank 4 runes in terms of destructive power.
Despite being very deep in the ocean and under countless tons of water, the explosion of fiend fire was so powerful that it created a vacuum inside the ocean full of black flames where not a single drop of water was present.
A couple of seconds after the explosion started, two figures came out from it. They were two Angelic Paragons, one covered in a mantle of shadows filled with skulls and the other was inside an iceberg.
Right behind them, three Angels of Supremacy also came out from the explosion of fiend fire. One was covered by a cocoon made of liquid poison, another was inside a tornado and the last one was surrounded by electric snakes.
These phenomenons that were protecting the Fallen and that extended for kilometers were their Law Avatars.
Being true to their nature none of them thought of waiting for the last Angel of Supremacy. The truth was that if he was not able to exit the explosion of fiend fire after the first couple of seconds, his fate was already decided.
They Fallen knew that remaining in the ocean was dangerous due to the magic creatures that filled it. The explosion would certainly scare a great number of magic creatures, but those were the weak ones.
Rank 4 Magic creatures would be drawn to the explosion and when they find wounded Angelic Paragons and Angels of Supremacy, then they will attack them due to the allure of their bloodline.
As they advanced, they were forced to fight against all types of magic creatures, but by remaining together, they defeated most of them and stopped the rest from following them.
Thanks to them using their Law Avatars to increase their power, the speed they were able to achieve was impressive and in less than half an hour they were able to reach the sky.
Unfortunately for Verius and his group, their nightmare was far from being over. The moment they left the water, they were attacked by Heinz and Nero, both of them empowered by their Law Avatars.
Nero's Law Avatar took the form of a blue star ten meters in diameters that remained behind him. Although its size was small, the power it released was much greater than any of the Law Avatars of Verius and his group.
In this star, you could feel a defiant power that will not allow any sort of restriction put over it and a pride that will burn brighter with every challenge it overcomes.
