Tomas and Oliver walked until they were in front of Zatiel. They no longer bothered with them, and their sole focus was on the Neo-Demon that received the duo with a mocking smile.
Regardless of their feelings, Finibus, Pipit, Tina, and Samuel did not show any sign of resentment or disobedience. They bowed to the dukes and headed to the exit of the Silent House.
However, before they could leave the warehouse, a grey aura rose from the ground in front of them and formed a faceless humanoid figure. The arrival of this individual shocked the four Soul Forging existences since even now that he was in front of them, their consciousness could not detect him.
Finibus and the rest were experienced warriors and understood that the difference in power between them was immense. The only reason that this person did not take the opportunity to attack them by surprise was that they were absolutely no threat to him.
A black aura that carried an immense pressure was generated from the grey humanoid. It had such power that it made the three Angels of Supremacy fall to their knees immediately before freezing their energy and consciousness.
The only one who was able to withstand the black aura was Finibus, but the Angelic Paragon knew that there was just a matter of time before he succumbed. He prepared himself to call for help when one beam of heat energy and another one of sword light descended from the sky and landed on his back.
Finibus felt immense pain as the attacks blasted his back open and shattered his spine. He crashed into the ground, and a mouthful of blood was fired from his mouth. With all the power he had left, he turned his head and stared at his attackers.
The Angelic Paragon with wings made of blades saw Tomas and Oliver floating above him. Their eyes were filled with a substance that resembled boiling asphalt, while the veins in their heads protruded and throbbed as if they were pumping a heavy liquid.
Zatiel saw everything that happened, and for the first time since he arrived in this place, his smile disappeared. His eyes lost their light, and absolute indifference filled them. His face became devoid of any emotion or the slightest expression.
The Sage focused on the members of the Heavenly race in front of him, and it appeared he did not care about the changes on the Neo-Demon.
”My new friends, I see the doubt in your hearts and perceive the seed of discord in your fates.” The moment the Sage spoke, the power of his dark aura increased, and the Angels of Supremacy fell flat to the ground while their eyes bled.
When the Sage saw the revulsion in the face of the Angelic Paragon, instead of feeling angry, he started to laugh. He walked to Finibus' side, grabbed his neck, and raised him into the air.
”So much xenophobia and pride, you could have become an excellent specimen. Unfortunately, I am not strong enough to control another one of you. Oh well, nothing that can be done.” The moment the Sage finished speaking, a monstrous mouth appeared on his head.
Under the terrified sight of the Angels of Supremacy, the Sage put Finibus' head inside his mouth and ripped off with a single bite. The grey humanoid did not stop there, and he proceeded to eat the body of the Angelic Paragon until nothing was left from him.
After killing Finibus, the Sage concentrated a great amount of dark aura on his hand, and then he clenched his fist. Pipit, Samuel, and Tina felt how their hearts exploded, and their True Souls were shattered.
Once he was done killing the four Soul Forging existences from the Heavenly race like if they were pigs in a slaughterhouse, the Sage walked forward until he was right in front of Zatiel. He waved his hand and sent a beam of energy that healed the Neo-Demon's body completely.
