256 Kill you here and now (1/2)

Evacuations had been done a long time ago in some parts of the continent. Most of the population had moved to the north since currently, the middle of the continent was no man's land due to the threat of the Magi invader force.

There were a lot of small cities in the north that contained most of the evacuated people. Those who lived there were Rank 1 life forms so their military power was almost null and there was no real gain in destroying them.

If a group of Rank 3 Magi along with the rest of the Magi army were to attack them, the Soul Forging existences of the Heavenly race could easily intervene and kill the intruders. The only ones who could devastate those cities without the Heavenly race being able to stop them would be Rank 4 life forms, and they must either be very powerful or have laws that allow them to reach and leave those cities without being detected.

Most Rank 4 life forms would disdain such actions. They can kill hundreds or maybe thousands of Rank 1 life forms with one attack of their Law Avatars if they face them on the battlefield so hunting them was useless.

But it was clear that some members of the Magi invader force were furious by the acts of the Heavenly race and they had thrown civility away.

There was a small town with hundreds of Rank 1 Angels moving around. They were all preparing to move closer to Zenith City. In that city, there was a teleportation formation, so the Soul Forging existences of the Heavenly race could respond much faster to any type of incursion from the Magi.

Unfortunately for them, from the sky, a giant hand made of shadows filled with howling faces fell, and in an instant, the entire town was destroyed and all those who lived there were killed.

Totto and Zitra looked with coldness as the souls of hundreds of members of the Heavenly race shattered under the combined might of their attacks.

Zitra stared at the distance and felt the presence of several Rank 4 life form coming their way. She sneered before covering herself and the Lich in shadows.

Several hundred kilometers away from the dead town, from the shadow of a tree, the duo rose.

”There is another town not too far away, we should be able to reach it undetected in a couple of hours.” The coldness in Zitra's heart was immense and no matter how many souls of members of the Heavenly race she broke, the thirst for revenge she felt did not diminish.

Totto just nodded and did not say a word but the killing intent in his eyes showed his feelings.

Just as they were about to leave they felt their communication crystals activate and when they took them out from their personal storage space, the voice of Ezequiel reached their minds.

Zitra's eyes shined and a beautiful smile appeared on her face while Totto started to laugh. In their minds, if Zatiel had left a message, it meant he had a way out of his predicament.

”Hahahaha, I knew that winged trash could not outsmart him.”

Although he spoke those words, previously the Lich truly thought Zatiel was lost. With his mastery over necromancy and knowledge about the soul, he was sure that the one who was taken away was indeed the Neo-Demon and he could not think of a way to help him.

”We can't waste time, let's go.” Zitra smiled and there was a peculiar light in her eyes.

'I still have time.' The Magus though that, before waving her hand and disappearing along with the Lich in the shadows

......

Oliver flew through the Saint City to the Silent House. Although that place was very far from the winged castle, it only took a couple of minutes for the duke to arrive since he used his maximum speed.

He was very angry since not only did he find out that thousands of his people had died in the Fornes continent, his wounds were more severe than he thought. Under his clothes, on his chest, there was a deep cut.

That injury was made by Zitra with a damaged dagger. She had channeled all of her energy and even burned a little of her life force to drive out the full power of her weapon.

The flesh and blood around that wound had been infected so the Angelic Paragon was forced to cut it off, and even then the injury did not heal, despite his great regeneration abilities and the purging effect his bloodline had over foreign energy.

The moment he passed through the invisible dome around the Silent House, cries of agony reached Oliver's ears, but that was not everything, he also was able to catch the conversation between two people.

”Come on! we have just started, why the long face. Don't tell you have reached your limit.”
