Zatiel and his Rebirth Incarnations were constantly shing against Andras, and before a minute had passed, the sky was filled with giant streams of fire.


    Some of them were dark red and released unbearable temperatures that could burn the atmosphere in Low Worlds. Others were blue, and their power was linked to the Law of Destruction in one of the greatest fiend nes of the universe.


    Thest of the streams were purple and space and time behaved erratically around them. Any life form beneath Rank 4 that touched that purple fire would have their vitality transform into death, and their bodies and souls would rot in seconds.


    Their fight had just begun, and they already made the area of hundreds of kilometers around them a death zone for any life form beneath Rank 4. Weak Soul Forging existences would be forced to run away if they approached the core of the battlefield.


    The Neo-Demon and the King of the Dragonstone Kingdom were moving so fast that even if the mes were not covering their figures, it would be impossible for a Rank 3 life form to see them.


    The wings in the Neo-Demon''s back allowed him not only higher speed, but he could also use them as a shield. Each feather had the sturdiness of a Pseudo Rank 5 Artifact.


    The Eyes of Life and Creation in Zatiel and the Rebirth Incarnations were constantly absorbing the energy around them. Once they were fully charged, they fired powerful beams of energy.


    The Eyes of Death and Destruction released a dark force field around the trio. Everything inside it would have its wounds infected by death force, and its vitality slowly fading away.


    Death force was the antithesis of the life force that was present in every living form. It infected the body and tissues of a life form once they lost vitality, making regeneration harder and worsening the wounds in them. This was a very mysterious force, and trying to perceive it without a very highwprehension or special bloodline was impossible.


    Zatiel''s mastery over the Rebirth Eye was not as deep as with his other two eyes, but thanks to his bloodline, he instinctively knew how to use it in battle. The whirlpool of raging purple energy was rotating faster and faster, sending an invisible force that attempted to invade the consciousness and soul of Andras.


    The King of the Dragonstone Kingdom was an experienced fighter and knew how to use every part of his body as a weapon,bining spells and his physical might to deploy crushing destructive force.


    Every attack with his fist and legs carried enough power to pulverize entire cities. His body was able to transform into shadows and return to normal at will. He did that to increase his speed and dodge Zatiel''s attack, as well as to shrink the distance between them andnd devastating blows.


    The ck roots that rose from Andras'' back were not only powerful and nimble, but they could also split into smaller and faster roots that were covered by red fire.


    A massive explosion of three colored fire urred when Zatiel''s bone sword and Andras'' fist collided once again.


    Zatiel''s swordsmanship was sublime, and he was able to reduce much of the force on his opponent''s fist by attacking at the correct angle. However, he still felt his arms tremble due to the immense strength of the King.


    Andras'' situation was not better. The mes in Zatiel''s bone sword were so powerful that despite his gloves being Rank 5 Artifacts, he still felt his hands burning and the vitality in them being destroyed. He was forced to send healing energy to them, to stop significant damage from urring.


    Another problem Andras had was that the bone swords were incredibly heavy and hard. This was due to the Absolute Sr Yang True Doomsday Body using the yang properties of the mes to enhance the weight and hardness of each body and sword right before every sh.


    Both the Neo-Demon and the Magus were pushed back after the sh.


    The Rebirth Incarnations took the chance andunched themselves to Andras, but before they could reach him, the roots got in the way.


    The eyes of the Rebirth Incarnations narrowed. Past encounters have proven that the strength of the roots was greater than theirs. They fought back and made deep cuts in the roots that were filled with blue and purple fire before being pushed back.


    The Rebirth Incarnations used the impulse and regrouped with Zatiel. Once the trio regained control over their bodies, their Eyes of Life and Creation released a beam of energy with all the power they have been charged with.


    Andras had managed to regain control of his body right about the time Zatiel did and saw the beams of energy heading in his direction with a speed he could not dodge.


    The energy in the lungs of the Magus erupted. The moment he opened his mouth, a st of dark red fire was shot and collided with the beams of energying from the Eyes of Life and Creation.


    The two attacks pushed against each other while the sky appeared to be ripping apart. The st sound and heat they generated were felt in the City of the Sun despite the immense distance between the battlefield and them.


    After a moment, the sh between the two energies resulted in a zing explosion that covered both parties.


    Andras exited the fiery ball the next instant. Although there were some burn wounds on his body, they were not severe, and green energy was healing them very fast.


    The King immediately focused on assessing the location of his enemy, and his eyes widened when he was unable to detect him. Like him, Zatiel should havee out of the explosion at the other end of it, but neither he nor his Rebirth Incarnations were visible.


    Before he could figure out his enemy''s position, three figures emerged right from where he exited the explosion.


    Andras was surprised by the ruthlessness of his opponent. He could see therge wounds all over his body due to him passing through the explosion to hide from his consciousness and take him by surprise.


    The Magus acted fast and attacked with his roots. Unfortunately for him, the Rebirth Incarnations were prepared, and they intercepted them, leaving the Neo-Demon a clear path to the Magus.


    Zatiel was not carrying his bone sword, and the Magus was sure he could not harm him with just his body. However, his instincts warned him of great danger, so he attacked with everything he had.


    Andras punched with his right fist and aimed at the head of the Neo-Demon. The speed and energy he was able to charge in that attack were less than normal due to the ambush.


    The Neo-Demon''s eyes were cold as he saw that fisting to him. He moved his body at thest moment, saving his head from the attack, but this one still managed to destroy his shoulder and right arm.


    Zatiel was able to maintain his body next to that of the Magus. By positioning himself on his enemy''s right side, he moved away from the range of the left arm of Andras and proceeded to aim his left palm at his head.


    "Apocalypse st."


    The King of the Dragonstone Kingdom felt his instinct screaming in danger when he heard those words and perceived the energy running through Zatiel''s body and gathering in his left arm. He moved his body and covered his head with his free arm before a purple torrent of ming energy was fired from the Neo-Demon''s palm.


    An explosion that broke space and generated a storm of wild and chaotic energy that extended for thousands of kilometers urred the moment the st collided with Andras'' body.


    All the Rank 4 life forms that were using their consciousness to watch the battle were shocked when they felt the power in that attack. The strength in it was so high that it did not belong to the realm of Soul Forging.


    Zatiel was able to generate an attack that reached the might of a Rank 5 spell. The most impressive part was that he did not have his Law Avatar active.


    From the explosion, four figures were thrust away. Three belonged to Zatiel and his Rebirth Incarnations that were pushed down.


    The fourth figure belonged to Andras, who was pushed up. His body was covered in purple fire, and his condition was unknown.


    The Neo-Demon''s face was pale as he fell and lost control of his body for a moment.


    The Apocalypse st Zatiel used was the evolved form of Abyssal st. It not only contained wild and chaotic Elemental?Chaos that had beenpressed in the Chaotic Core, but it also supplemented it with all that was left in his energy pool and also the power of his bloodline.


    If any other life form were to try to perform such a massive energy output at Rank 4, their bodies would shatter. Only Neo-Demons that have extremely tempered bodies and Astral Origin to enhance the durability of their organs and flesh were capable of such a feat.


    Zatiel felt as if his head was being split apart due to his abrupt depletion of energy.


    Soon the reservoir of Elemental Chaos that was kept in his stomach, thanks to his Apocalyptic Star, began to refill his energy pool.


    The Rebirth Incarnations appeared by his side and guarded him while using their Eyes of Death and Destruction to remove the death force from his body.


    The Neo-Demon felt his purple mes consuming all the damaging energy in his body and used it to heal him. However, his focus was on the voice in his mind.


    "Bip...

    Zatiel''s eyes narrowed when he heard thest part and looked to the sky.
