Whoosh!
The Blade of Flesh and Spirit came crashing down, cleaving the ball of fire the Hunter Demigod had become in two.
Luther narrowed his eyes slightly and swiftly pulled back his sword.
No sensation of striking anything had traveled through the hilt. The fire had split on its own before the blade reached it!
Boom! Boom!
He soon saw the two balls of blue-green flame rapidly expand. In an instant, they filled his vision and the entire sky, immediately engulfing him as well.
The blazing sea of fire stretched for several kilometers, standing out vividly against the gradually darkening sky. Anyone looking up from the ground could easily see the conspicuous patch of light. This was both a powerful attack and an unmistakable signal-the Hunter Demigod had sounded an airborne alarm, warning the nearby powerhouses that something had happened here!
At the blue-green heart of the inferno, flames seethed.
This guy wants reinforcements... I have to finish him quickly!
Luther stood bathed in flames, blue-green light reflecting off his black armor.
The Angels of the Feysac Royal Family, as well as Grand Patriarch Larion, who presided over the Twilight Giant Palace to the north, could all detect this signal. Their arrival was only a matter of time. Before then, he had to kill [Greed], Sophia Ivanova Einhorn!
At that thought, he hesitated no longer. He reached into his clothes, then carefully and slowly drew out a jewelry box. Its exterior was silver-black, its surface adorned with intricate openwork decorations and inlaid with all kinds of gems, giving it an ancient, mysterious appearance. It was the Abraham Family's Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, the Box of the Great Old Ones!
Holding the sizable jewelry box, Luther aimed it at the sea of fire before him and opened its first layer.
Whoosh!
