Chapter 495: Ambush (1/2)

Zatiel and Ezequiel have spent more than five years inside the Bloodthorn Forest. Despite their small power, compared with the mighty Supernova Domain existences, they have become very famous, although the word infamous would be more accurate.

More than one thousand eldritch life forms have perished under their hands. The Eldritch Race did not find a single trace of their comrades' bodies or souls left, and it was as if the enemy had erased every piece of their existence.

If they knew the truth, they would have used the word ”devour” in their reports.

Although the Eldritch Race had a repulsive and unaesthetic appearance, they were not mindless monsters, and their wisdom did not fall behind the Prima Universe's life forms.

After several investigations, the Tier 1 Eldritch Stronghold figured out the responsible were two individuals, one with a mastery over the souls and illusions and the other with a melee battle style.

They also discovered that the enemy duo's power bordered the Primary Sun Domain Stage and that their perception was superior to their battle power.

The Tier 1 Eldritch Stronghold sent many eldritch hunting squads after the duo, some of them with Supernova Domain powerhouses, but all came empty-handed.

It did not take long for the Eldritch Stronghold to figure out that the duo could perceive high energy fluctuations, like those released by powerful Rank 6 life forms, and chose to change to a different section of the Bloodthorn Forest whenever that happened.

With the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield's laws hindering perception and the Bloodthorn Forest's volcanic trees affecting their senses, the Eldritch Stronghold found it very hard to locate the duo.

Of course, that did not mean they would give up, and the Eldritch Stronghold just needed to find a more creative way to handle their enemies.

...

In a remote area of the Bloodthorn Forest, an Eldritch with a goat head, lion body, and putrefactive bat wings attempted to run away from an invisible threat.

He was a Peak Hollow Sun Domain Stage existence, and something ripped off the lower half of his body.

White lightning permeated his wounds, and it seemed to be devouring the eldritch life form's blood, energy, and body, making itself stronger.

Before the creature could fly for long, a humanoid covered in white lightning and flaming red aura appeared above him and unleashed a barrage of blows, all of them enhanced by Terminus Force.

The Eldritch's body did not resist this new attack and shattered. A black entity emerged from the Eldrtich's head and ran away that same instant.

When the white humanoid saw the True Self escaping, he did not chase. Instead, he opened his mouth, forming a sort of black hole that consumed until the last drop of blood from the Eldritch's remains.

The True Self advanced less than one thousand meters when a winged humanoid appeared in front of him. When the black figure saw the hand covered in Mind Force about to seal him, madness appeared on his face instead of fear.

That reaction made the winged man's eyes narrow. He knew the Eldritch's True Self would not be able to self-destruct before being sealed, so that response made no sense.

It was then that the winged man's right eye detected something with the form of a pearl within the True Self. Before he could do anything, this artifact activated, using the energy in the black figure to create a spatial wave.

Teleportation was very difficult inside the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield, especially for eldritch life forms who lacked control over the laws.

That spatial wave could be used for assisting teleportation, as a beacon in the darkness, but the ones using it needed to be very close.
