253 The fall of a genius (1/2)

He was not told why this person was so important, but the dukes and Vapula had stated that if they wanted to win the war and obtain revenge for the hundreds of thousands of members of the Heavenly race that had died under the Magi invader force, he was the key.

Like the rest of his people, Vermeil felt nothing but revulsion to members of other races, but he cherished every one of his comrades. When he saw their bodies impaled and faces disfigured by the pain they felt before dying, the anger in his heart was high enough that he would not hesitate to give his life to obtain retribution.

The moment he got the package, his mission was to leave the Fornes continent and reach the headquarters of the Heavenly race in the Vixus continent. The defenses of the headquarters are so high that it would be impossible for the Magi to rescue this person.

The dukes and Vapula had told him that there is a great possibility his involvement is not detected by the enemy. However, less than a couple of seconds after he got the cocoon, he felt a presence appear in the distance and fear filled his heart.

Without hesitation, he allowed the asphalt armor to burn even more of his life force which pushed his speed to the next level.

Heinz had appeared more than one hundred kilometers away from the Angelic Paragon with wings made of air. The black fog around the man affected space and made it impossible for him to reach his side by teleportation.

The distance between him and the Angelic Paragon could be covered in an instant by Heinz, who had fused with a Law Avatar that had the Law of Space in it. But he did not need to do it, since when his Law of Killing reached the 'Minor Completion' level, his control over his energy had a qualitative improvement.

As Heinz prepared to launch a sword strike and kill the Angelic Paragon, he felt a disturbance in space, and then he saw hundreds of black and white sword beams fell from the sky as if they were stars that descended from the firmament, and they converged in his direction.

The power in each of those beams was immense and they could severely harm or even kill a Rank 4 life form.

The Cultivator's eyes became cold as he saw Tomas' black and white figure in the sky but his mind was calm. Ever since that seed made of the Law of Killing appeared around his True Soul, he felt great control over his emotions.

Heinz did not attempt to dodge those beams, instead, he flew up to face them, and just as they were about to clash, the red aura around his body became more potent and he shouted.

”SHATTER”

The moment Heinz's sword collided against the black and white stars, it created an immense explosion that made the continent tremble and storms rage for thousands of kilometers. This was the collateral damage made by the clash between Rank 5 life forms.

Tomas was surprised when he saw Heinz's direct approach. He had hoped the Cultivator would attempt to dodge his attacks since that would have taken longer and greatly diminished the amount of time he had in the world.

When the duke saw Heinz's figure being swallowed by that explosion, he could not help but felt hopeful that it would be enough to stop him for a moment.

The result, however, was the complete opposite since Heinz exited the explosion immediately and rose at an immense speed until he was right in front of Tomas. His sword carried violent and heavy energy as it was strengthened by the Law of Killing of the world.

The duke's eyes widened when he saw the sword and dread filled his heart when all of a sudden his eyes filled with boiling asphalt and an invisible force was released from them.

The moment those eyes appeared, Heinz felt malignant power assault his True Soul. It was undodgeable and it attempted to force the Cultivator into a nightmarish plane.

Heinz's strength had reached Rank 5 but his True Soul was still that of a Rank 4 life form, so this type of attack should have been very effective against someone like him.

However, just as that dangerous energy appeared, the seed made of killing intent released an immense power that fought back against it.

That was not all, since the figure of a Blood Ruby Centipede enveloped the True Soul of the Cultivator and protected him from the damage.

He felt as if his head was being split apart, but was able to resist the pain and hacked at the Angelic Paragon in front of him.

Tomas did not understand why Heinz's attack was delayed but he used the time to form a shield with his wings.

The wings of a Rank 4 Angelic Paragon were extremely resilient and could compare to an artifact, but the offensive power in the sword was incredible after it was enhanced by the Law of Killing.
