Chapter 1083: Different Agendas


    ?


    On the other side of the world...


    A man with light auburn hair that spotted two bold strands of ck mixed in, suddenly jerked violently, his body nearly copsing and doing away with the lotus position he had been assuming as he sat in the luxurious mud hut.


    His nk white eyes narrowed as he reached into his flowing dark robes and touched his chest.


    He scoffed.


    Four pairs of malicious eyes immediately red at him, suspicion livid within them because of his sudden movement.


    If it were anyone else who was to be guarded by the four, tall and muscr women dressed in sparse, yet clean hides, they might have enjoyed the view, but Skullius was indifferent.


    He gave a reassuring smile to the women.


    If they deemed him too... unstable, for his scheduled meeting with the Ode, that wouldn''t bode well for him and his ns.


    Thankfully, what happened next wasn''t something anyone but him could sense.


    A torrent of intense blue energy stormed out of him and phased through the wonderfully thatched roof without disturbing its neat and sturdy integrity. It soared into the sky and then shot north, elerating rapidly as it went.


    Skullius readjusted his sitting position on the thick mat he had been granted and supported his chin with his hand.


    ''As I expected. You must have achieved something profound for Serenity to dash your way so desperately. Good for you.'' he thought.


    The nigh microscopic droplet of blood directly above him churned at his thoughts, its owner, far up into skies, pondering the meaning behind the Hybrid Luman''s thoughts.


    ***


    Deathward Maw shattered like a particrlyrge vase, its shards flying in all directions.


    The sheerck of grace in the manner in which the Majestic Territory was destroyed seemed to mirror the profound failure the masked man had faced in retrieving what he hade for. Well, at least it did for most except the masked man himself.


    He hadn''t truly failed, but for thest hurdle he had to face before he achieved his goal to be so treacherous...


    It left a terrible taste in the masked man''s mouth.


    Yet, he could do nothing but ept the new reality.


    That said, there was no way he wouldn''t bare his fangs against the Giant, the human he came with, and of course, the amalgam.


    Vohnvolt also kept a keen eye on the masked man as they all fell.


    At some point, when everyone - the Null Devil King, Vohnvolt, Jerthrax, Eobald-Minobu, and the masked man - was trapped within Deathward Maw, the world that thete Herald had cast in absolute cold had expired, reced by a new one as a result of the ongoing [Consecutive Realm Transmission].


    This one, unlike thest, was a barrennd filled with thousands of furious hurricanes. Some raced along the ground below, and some spun while being suspended in mid-air, where chunks of dry inds floatedzily.


    It was through this dimension that the Mad Bishop and Eaniss had been released. The amalgam – after making a deal with the two that involved him allowing them to take the battered body of the masked man if they helped him defeat the bastard - had set a timer for when they would automatically be released from their independent spatial pockets. From there, they wouldunch a surprise attack on the masked man.


    The masked man had automated this process because he feared he might be unable to do it manually because of how the pace of the battle kept ramping up.


    This option of striking at the masked man was still viable though.


    The necromancer was yet to recover his mana from the use of his Territory and he was heavily outnumbered bybatants who wanted to see him dead.


    Vohnvolt made the first move.


    With full reign over the surroundings again...


    ''Alright then. Let''s-'' he began when...


    ...!!!


    Unexpectedly, a sh of deep purple emanated from the ground and poured onto everything in sight!


    It caught everyone by surprise, and in the worst way possible for the amalgam in particr! A charred figure with a mask that seemed to ooze of gold stood at the centre of the radiance, which kept growing and spreading, thickening andpounding.


    It was Aurolio.


    He had been knocked out of the battle rather early on after Jerthrax had mmed him down with his sword, and when he had fallen victim to the dragon''s ck breath, and then the Rule he had exercised to turn everything to stone.


    Strange as it was, Vohnvolt''s use of Reversion to reverse the effect of that Rule had been what stopped Aurolio from forever being cast into a statue... but that was not necessarily a feat against him. After all, even that came to be because of the effects of his Mastered Void Gate and his technique, which was based off of that.


    Voided Death Essence swelled from the Deathform and as Vohnvolt clicked his tongue, already anticipating what Aurolio intended to do... everything around the living beings and anomalies in this unusual world of hurricanes and tornadoes, burst into sand-like particles after an intense detonation of purple!


    Before anyone knew it, they were back in Aigas, the expansive ebony sea littered with undead below them, and the cracked, cloudy skies above.


    All were stunned.


    Even Yuyui and Sty were released from the dimensional pocket they had been forced to


    tussle in.


    ''Damn it. I hadn''t thought he actually had enough Essence to break through my skill,''


    Vohnvolt thought.


    Aurolio had shown that he was capable of disturbing the integrity of the dimensions Vohnvolt dragged everyone through early on. He had left arge purple crack on space itself after releasing a concentrated st of Voided Death Essence in his attempt to kill Vohnvolt early


    into the battle!


    (A/N: Refer to Ch.1064).


    And now that everyone wasn''t bound to the boundaries the amalgam dictated...


    Vohnvolt scowled.


    As he did, several things happened in rapid session.


    The millions of undead which had turned docile before Vohnvolt dragged everyone into the


    Null Remnants instantly pounced at every enemy of the masked man!


    At the same time, an individual who had been passive all along, grinned.


    "Finally," the Null Devil King said and his figure shuttled through the sky towards Yuyui and


    Sty.


    Yuyui had barely managed to glimpse a dark shadow heading towards her before her head was smashed open. The Null Devil King spared one fatal attack on her before grabbing Sty and


    storming further north!


    BOOOM!


    The air shrieked as he zoomed through it, heading towards Edagon!


    Roughly a split moment after his figure disappeared, Aurolio removed his mask, which quickly vanished into thin air and bolted after the Null Lifeform as fast he could!


    A moment after he charged on, Sause wore a deep frown at the sight and then turned to Benzard who also looked furious.


    "Help him, and make sure that necromancer doesn''t escape," he instructed.


    Benzard gave the Giant a nod. He then watched as Sause nced at the amalgam for a second before streaking after the trio heading towards thend of the Giants.


    Vohnvolt gave a curious eye to the departing group.


    He couldn''t understand what was going on.


    A part of him wanted to rush after the Null Devil King and Sty too, but he stopped. Now


    wasn''t the time to entertain impulse without fair reason.


    His eyes turned back to the masked man.


    The necromancer didn''t express the slightest interest in following after the others.


    He quickly sank into the crowds of undead as he dropped to the ocean, his arms beginning to


    heal.


    However... just when he thought he could get a chance to adjust his mind, body and his pulsing, inted and unstable soul, several presences registered from within his wall of his


    undead!


    Then...


    "Majestic Territory, Reign of the Unending Exigencies!"


    ...!!!
