250 Goodbye II (2/2)

However, Maverick was ready and from his body, a black fog was released. It did not have a pressure that could paralyze a Rank 4 life form and its diameter was less than one hundred meters.

But it was more than enough to cover Zatiel, and the power of space was annulled by wicked and corrupt energy.

When the Neo-Demon noticed how his life-saving card was disabled, he did not feel disappointed, since he expected such a result. In the next moment, the hand of the Angelic Paragon grabbed his foot, and the boiling asphalt on the palm entered in contact with his body.

As that malicious and devious power infiltrated him, Zatiel did not lose his composure and focused on the reaction of his loved ones.

He could see Heinz killing intent as he pushed his body forward with everything he had, with the hope to kill the Angelic Paragon and rescue him. He saw the panic and dread in Zitra's eyes, something you would find very difficult to imagine would appear in the always calm ice beauty. Totto's found hard to express his emotion on his face, but Zatiel noticed the anxiousness that invaded the Lich's heart.

Zatiel also looked at those who were near him. Due to their strength, they were slower to detect the Angelic Paragon than the Soul Forging existences but their emotions were not any less potent.

Their reaction speed was too slow and they could only see as the asphalt extended over Zatiel's body.

Ezequiel immediately attempted to activate Burn: Life Vessel. He would not hesitate to launch himself against Maverick, even if that meant death. Unfortunately, he was too slow and there was nothing he could do to help Zatiel.

Rax and Kilo felt immense pain in their hearts as they saw the person who saved them and their tribe being consumed by that boiling asphalt. He was the one who rescued them from a life of fear and sadness and granted them glory.

The father and son duo would not hesitate to burn their souls if that meant helping the one that allowed them to see the children of their tribe live a happy infancy full of bliss.

Dante had spent decades tempering his will. He had seen hundreds of warriors die under his command and had experienced many life and death scenarios. All of it to not disappoint his father, like the time he lost control over his emotions.

But right now, he felt no different than when he was a small soul inside the body of an Elder Brain and looked at the man who gave him life.

As Zatiel detected their sadness and pain, he could not help but sigh.

'I apologize to make all of you pass through this but I will explain everything when I see you again' The asphalt had already reached his waist but Zatiel's eyes were calm.

'FASTER, FASTER, GODDAM MOVE FASTER!' Heinz's body broke the space around him as he moved forward.

His sword was charged with all his power and he was ready to act the moment he reached Zatiel's side.

Although that boiling asphalt made the Cultivator's instinct scream in fear, he was sure that as long as he killed that Angelic Paragon, they would be able to purge that energy from Zatiel's body and save him.

'Hold on just for an instant, hold on' Heinz was very close to Zatiel and he was ready to act and rescue him.

The Neo-Demon understood the nature of this energy and knew what would happen next so when he saw the hope in Heinz's eyes, as this one thought he would be able to save his brother, he could only shake his head.

”Goodbye.” There was a radiant smile on Zatiel's face as he spoke. The next moment the asphalt wrapped him completely, and then the black cocoon that contained the Neo-Demon vanished from everyone's sight.
