CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 77: CRIMSON LIGHT

Zixin sat cross legged deep underground, permeating an odor of blood and it was a very strong stench of blood. Crimson smoke hung around his body like he was cursed and the blue flames covering his body were now a shade darker. Zixin sat alone in this cavern in a lotus position.

Ten years had passed since Zixin started attacking the Limbs Mountain and his maggots had taken an unimaginable number of lives. He’d indirectly taken so many lives that his body reeked of blood and even the air around him was now bloody.

[Poldi, take me to the surface. Someone wants to meet with me.] said Zixin, still had a larvae head. A mountainous spider crawled down from the ceiling and carried Zixin to the surface.

...

Above ground, three people were waiting for Zixin, Roto, Dricus and Plessis. Each of them had solemn expressions as Zixin’s bodyguards had them surrounded. Around them were Bone Devourer Maggots flying in the sky around them, there were around ten meters of them.

"These four Armoured Demons boast some of the greatest defence I’ve ever seen. Such thick and strong armour, definitely almost impenetrable." said Roto.

"Plessis, how would you fare against these demons?" asked Dricus. Plessis looked humanoid with spiral bone horns protruding on his head and wore bone armour with sharp spikes. He wore the skull of a unicorn.

"These Armoured Demons are the product of the Bone Devourer Maggots after evolving to their adult form. I’m a Bone Fey King, they eat bones so I would lose but worry not, one of my tooth fairies has obtained a special tooth. Once I reinforce my body with it, I can take them down." said Plessis calmly.

While chatting, the ground split open and an enormous spider crawled out then stepped on air. The Bone Devourer opened a path for the spider. The three demons were surprised but not too surprised by Zixin’s appearance.

[You wanted to see me. Here I am, say what you want quickly, my time is very valuable.] said Zixin arrogantly. Even though these three demons were far stronger than him, he was of a higher status than them so he didn’t put anyone in his eyes.

"Oh Noble One, we come here with only one request. Please cease your slaughter of the demons living in the Ancient Limbs. You’ve denied their surrender time and time again but they truly aren’t a match for your army. You can have the Ancient Limbs but please spare the demons lives, we beseech you oh Noble One." begged Dricus all three of them knelt in the sky.

[Hahaha! Ahahaha! It’s good that you’re aware of my status. Since when was it time for you plebeians to meddle in my business? Who gave you the gall to speak back to me?!]

"But My Lord, you’re destroying our foundation, these demons are supposed to join the arm..."

[I gave those demons a fair chance. Instead of surrendering like cowards, I gave them a chance to die in battle like true warriors, like War Demons! Now, if you lots come to ruin my mood again, hmph!] When Zixin nodded, he released an invisible barrier that enveloped him and the three demons.

Dricus was about to say something when all his strength suddenly disappeared he became a mortal. It was the same for the others. The three were shocked, which then turned into utter fear and dread as their strength completely vanished.

[Is there anything else you want to say?] asked Zixin while standing in front of them. The three were still kneeling so at this moment, they were looking at Zixin’s feet that had sharp nails and pulsating veins.

GA-DA! GA-DA! GA-DA! GA-DA! GA-DA!

[HOW DARE YOU?!!!!! DIIIEEE!!!]

FWOOOOOSH!!!!

First was the sound of horse hooves before a thunderous voice reverberated from all directions then the wind whistled as a crimson light approached Zixin at incredible speed.

The Bone Devourer Maggots confronted the crimson light but were instantly obliterated, not even giving the slightest resistance. As more and more maggots were killed, Zixin was internally shocked.

’How is this possible? How can it extinguish the Soul Flames!’

The Soul Flames are the blue flame flickers that all his maggots have and it’s what he uses to bring them back to life after they are killed. This was how he was constantly attacking the Limbs Mountain without running out of reinforcements. The blue flames would reappear inside the gourd and be born again and because it was created from the Demon Flames, no demon could extinguish these flames.

The ten thousand maggots stood no chance against the crimson light and were all obliterated. Zixin’s four Beetle Armour Demons flew towards the crimson light to try and stop it but they also died without the slightest resistance. Poldi joined the battle but was also obliterated in an instant. It seemed nothing was capable of blocking this crimson light.

Zixin tried to run away from the crimson light but was just too slow so after running for a while, he chose to confront the crimson light. The light kept approaching Zixin at incredible speed until it was a hundred kilometres from him, that’s when its speed decreased. It had just entered Zixin’s Sealing Domain where everything would become ordinary.

What Zixin didn’t expect was for the domain to have almost no effect on the crimson light except for slightly reducing its speed but its power was still intense. The crimson light grew closer and closer until it was in front of Zixin; by this time, its speed had reduced by twenty percent. Only now did Zixin make out the appearance of the crimson light and it was...

[A spear..?!!!] exclaimed Zixin as he grabbed the spear with his six arms and his muscles and skin were obliterated, only his bones held on as he grabbed the spear tightly but to no avail. It was inching closer and closer to his chest, longing to pierce it and obliterate him like the others.

[I’M NOT WILLING TO GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT! RELEASE!!!]

A ripple was released by Zixin and it created a terrifying shockwave that caused spatial cracks around him. The spear shaft cracked all the way to the spearhead and was on the verge of shattering when a figure appeared in front of Zixin, held the spear and swung Zixin away like swatting a fly. His six bone arms shattered and all the bones in his body had cracked, on the verge of shattering. Zixin then spat out blood again and again, even coughing up pieces and bits of internal organs.

[You...Who are you? Cough...cough]
