253 The fall of a genius (2/2)

Under the shocked sight of Tomas, the sword cut his wing before sending him like a cannonball to the ground.

The duke screams of pain filled the sky and jets of blood were fired everywhere from his severed wings.

Heinz did not waste time with Tomas and focused on the Angelic Paragon with wings of air.

From his surroundings, threads of red aura appeared and they gathered in his sword. The energy in the weapon increased tremendously and yet it had an obscure nature that made it almost impossible to perceive.

Heinz fired a beam of sword light at Vermeil. The Angelic Paragon felt death approaching him but could not detect the attack so it was impossible for him to dodge or block it.

Luckily for Vermeil, a colossal crystal snake appeared between him and the sword beam. In the snake's body, there were runic lines inscribed and they glowed making a white shield appear in front of her.

The crystal snake was Vapula after having fused with her Law Avatar and the rune was her most valuable possession. Even though it was not a runic set, it was still a Rank 4 rune with great defensive might.

The sword beam clashed against the white shield and the sound the impact produced made it seem as if the sky was falling apart.

The white shield was very sturdy, but the offensive power in the Law of Killing was one of the highest that exists, so in less than a second it crumbled, but not without reducing a considerable amount of strength in Heinz's attack.

The crystal snake roared as it clashed against the sword beam. Deep injuries appeared around her body and she was pushed backward until almost clashing against Vermeil.

'How can his offensive power be so high!' Vapula was startled and she knew that if it was not for the white shield, her condition would have been much worse.

Heinz's eyes filled with killing intent as he saw the crystal snake stop him from saving Zatiel. He already felt the power of the World Consciousness acting around him and he was about to be expelled from this world any second now.

The Cultivator knew that as long he killed that Angelic Paragon with wings of air, he along with Tomas and Vapula would be expelled from this world, leaving the black cocoon that contained Zatiel alone.

Zitra, Totto, and Nero would arrive in this place at any moment and they could save Zatiel before the Heavenly race got hold of him.

He raised his sword and gathered the power of the Law of Killing in it before making his blood energy explode in his arms and back, increasing his physical might.

The moment the sword fell, a thin but immensely powerful sword light was fired at Vermeil. The crystal snake was still in the path, but Heinz was confident that Vapula would not sacrifice her life just to capture Zatiel.

Heinz was right and when the woman saw that sword strike, she was going to exit the world to evade that attack.

'I guess we have failed.' Vapula felt an immense sense of failure but she was not willing to lose his life here.

However just as she was about to stop resisting the expulsion force of the World Consciousness, she felt a malignant power converging on her and attacking her True Soul.

She focused on the direction where that power came and saw Tomas looking at her. The eyes of the dukes were filled with boiling asphalt that fell from his eyes like tears

The power in those eyes was too high for the woman and she lost control of her body and soul for a moment. Vapula should have been able to free herself after a couple of seconds but Heinz's sword light clashed on her in the next instant.

Tomas' attack had weaned her defenses so when the sword light landed on the crystal snake, her entire body and True Soul were shattered.

”NO!” Heinz was shocked when he saw how the woman had apparently chosen to die rather than allow him to save Zatiel. He saw how the Angelic Paragon with wings of air disappeared in the distance but there was nothing he could do to stop him as he could no longer resist and was expelled from the world.
