"Scream all you want. No one can save you now!"
the fire source beast sneered, exerting dominance.
Driven by his bloodthirsty temptations, the fire source beast flapped the two red sword-like wings
savagely and sliced the body of the demon guard of darkness, hacking him down into uneven
proportions, allowing the blood to taint his clothes as spoils of war. Unsatisfied with the result, he thrust
the red swords deep into his flesh and twisted them, razing his remains, reducing him into a mist of
blood.
"Please, no!
Show some mercy, please don't do this!"
Terrorized from the agony sprouting throughout his body, the demon guard of darkness let out an
earsplitting scream.
Completely disemboweled, his spiritual soul began to form at a distance, gathering the torn away
pieces of his body, stringing them back together.
But of course, his breathing had weakened significantly since regenerating took a physical toll on him.
Suddenly, the fire source beast shrouded himself in a crimson mantle of eight kinds of sacred fire,
enveloping every fiber of his being.
"Where do you think you're going? Don't even think about getting away from me!"
Having said that, the fire source beast's figure vanished from where he once stood, only to appear right
before the demon guard of darkness in the next moment.
Even though the fire source beast was a towering figure to the eye, his movements were incredibly
agile.
Not letting the size of his body become an excuse to hinder him from further growth, he honed his
speed to no end, allowing him to dash at untraceable speed.
"Stop it! Please!"
Watching the fire source beast prey on their companion like that, the other demon guards of darkness
were forced to step in to protect him.
However, before they could get close to him, the fire source beast waved his hand. As if in a trance, the
eight kinds of sacred flames hovering in the surrounding space grew restless, altering their movements,
rushing for the demon guards of darkness that dared to cross him.
Intimidated by the sacred flames, the demon guards of darkness were forced to stand by, afraid to
advance any further to incur their wrath.
"Pathetic!"
the fire source beast sneered, spiting them. Flapping his majestic crimson wings like two red
broadswords, he flung himself forward, slicing through the air. With a harsh splat, the demon guard of
darkness was reduced to pieces once more, his innards on display for everyone to see. Without
wasting a second, the sacred fire wrapped itself around the torn up remains of the demon guard of
darkness, intensifying its flames till he disintegrated into a mist of blood.
"Ah, it hurts! It hurts!"
Unable to bear the torment, the demon guard of darkness let out a shrill scream, echoing through
everyone's ears.
Usually, it would be hard to kill a god of chaos of the darkness race, since their life energy was
tenacious.
But unfortunately, they were in the Eight Fires Valley.
The physical toll from shouldering the environment weakened even the mighty demon guards of
darkness.
Their bodies had to withstand the constant burning of eight kinds of sacred fire.
"Help me. Someone, please! I can't endure this any longer!"
To everyone's surprise, the once obliterated body of the fallen demon guard of darkness sprung back to
life, regenerating once more before their eyes.
However, his breathing had turned frail, as though he were desperately trying to hold on to every last
bit of life left in him.
The energy pressure releasing from his meridians had been cut down by more than half.
His ability to fight took a massive hit and was reduced by more than half as well.
"You're dead meat!"
the fire source beast spat out coldly, his voice devoid of all emotions.
As he spoke,
in a fleeting moment, he dashed in the direction of the demon guard of darkness once more.
This time, he didn't find the demon guard of darkness worthy of finishing off with his swings. Swiping
his claw across his body, he hacked away at him beyond repair.
"Ah!"
The agony seeping through every nook and crevice of his body made the demon guard of darkness
howl miserably.
Having exhausted most of the energy essence lying dormant in his body,
the demon guard of darkness was unable to restore himself back to his previous form.
Crucified to a cruel cross of calamity, he was subjected to an infinite loop of torment. When his spiritual
soul reappeared in the distance, he shuddered in fear, looking at his oppressor, the fire source beast.
As a result, his spiritual soul had also weakened to a certain degree.
"Maybe I can fight this guy now..."
Austin murmured to himself, assessing the situation from a distance. He could feel the adrenaline
rushing through every fiber of his being, itching to have a go at the demon guard of darkness himself.
"Madam, do you think I can take him?"
Austin asked politely, addressing Old Lady Meng.
"You want to fight him?
I don't know about that, Austin...
Even though he's rid of his physical body, he's still a god of chaos. His spiritual soul must contain high
reserves of energy and law.
It might not be as easy as you think,"
Old Lady Meng warned, eyes filled with worry.
"That doesn't concern me. Whatever the outcome might be, I won't die.
I just want to experience the strength of a god of chaos myself!"
Witnessing the fire source beast tossing the demon guard of darkness around riled Austin up. His eyes
were burning with conviction, and his fighting spirit was growing restless, desperate to unleash.
"I'm not done with you. Not until you drop dead before my feet!"
The fire source beast darted towards the quivering spiritual soul of the demon guard of darkness,
applying his bodily movement once more.
"Wait, please! Let me do it instead!"
Austin requested the fire source beast, speaking telepathically.
Of course, Austin knew the next strike of the fire source beast to land on the demon guard of darkness
would be the final nail of the coffin, killing him instantly.
"Oh?
You want to finish him off?"
Stunned by his sudden demand, the fire source beast stopped to stare at Austin, trying to read his
expressions.
"Yeah. Watching you in action has really riled me up. My fists are itching for a fight,"
Austin said, knocking his fists together.
"I guess it can't be helped. I'll let you take over from here. I've weakened the demon guard of darkness
enough.
Don't worry about a thing. I'll be watching over you. If things go south, I'll lend you a hand by controlling
the sacred fire.
I've got your back,"
the fire source beast assured Austin.
"Thank you, sir. I'll do my best!"
Austin exclaimed, overjoyed.
Indeed, they were in the fire source beast's territory. He could manipulate the eight kinds of sacred fire
at will. With someone that strong backing him up, Austin could fight without fear of facing the
repercussions of going against someone who could overwhelm him in strength.
Having all his concerns discarded, Austin rushed to step into the battlefield.
"Hey! Eyes on me. I'm your opponent now!"
with his eyes brimming with confidence, Austin shouted to announce his presence.
"You must be out of your mind to challenge me, Austin.
Do you seriously believe you can defeat me?
Laughable."
Hearing Austin's sudden provocation, the demon guard of darkness scoffed, amused at his ignorance.
"I don't believe it. I know it."
Balling his hands into fists, Austin snapped back.
"You must be joking. You're nothing to me! Even though I'm reduced to a spiritual soul, I can still kill
you!"
Gaining his lost vitality at the sudden switch of opponents, the demon guard of darkness couldn't help
but feel relieved.
He may have been terrified by the fire source beast, but Austin didn't faze him one bit.
"What are you waiting for? Come at me with everything you've got!"
Letting his fists do the talking, Austin bolted forward towards his opponent.
He wanted to make his strike as effective as possible, incorporating all kinds of methods and skills in
his arsenal.
Going against the god of chaos, he knew holding back would cost him gravely.
Austin acknowledged the strength of the demon guard of darkness. Even though he was reduced to a
spiritual soul, he was not an adversary to be underestimated.
After all, the demon guard of darkness was a prodigy, handpicked from the darkness race, and his
strength was formidable.
At once, Austin unleashed the Triple Avatar Skill, giving shape to two identical avatars simultaneously.
Then, Austin and his two avatars rushed towards the demon guard of darkness from three different
directions, cornering him.
Apart from that, Austin used the Worlds of Mind Power Construction Skill, coupled with all sorts of
swordsmanship and arrays.
Leaving nothing to the imagination, he used all kinds of powerful skills he had picked up on throughout
his time.
All of a sudden, the demon guard of darkness was confronted with a series of massive attacks directed
towards him.
"I've got to give it to you. Those were some flashy moves.
No wonder you've managed to dodge the clutches of our darkness race and the Time Chamber Sect
with such finesse all this time.
But your luck runs out today!"
For a while, the demon guard of darkness was left awestruck by Austin's diverse display of skills. But
he soon came to grips with reality and snickered at Austin.
"Austin!
Your time ends now!"
After being repeatedly battered at the hands of the fire source beast, the demon guard of darkness was
left filled with pent-up frustration. Now, he wanted to unleash all that suppressed anger, and Austin was
the perfect victim.
