"Whoosh!"
A Death Puppet abruptly appeared, blocking the way in front of Luo Ya and the others. It was controlled by Morti.
Four or five sword auras slammed into the Death Puppet, immediately blasting away its outer layer of flesh and revealing the metal body beneath. The metal body was completely unharmed.
However, several soul attacks passed straight through the Death Puppet, easily ignoring it.
"Milia." Luo Ya moved directly in front of Milia, and a soul attack struck him.
But with Luo Ya's soul defense, one or two soul attacks were no threat at all.
"Let's go!" Group soul attacks were terrifying. Luo Ya himself wasn't afraid of them, but Milia and Morti couldn't withstand them.
The situation was dire. All the Fiends scattered in every direction.
"Hahaha, none of you are getting away. Kill them, kill them!!!" A burly, purple-haired man among the bandits roared. Several Highgods led groups of men in different directions to hunt down the fleeing Fiends. The remaining dozen or so Highgods, along with nearly five thousand Midgods, pursued the employer, "Miss Sherry."
"Mr. Coradi, we're counting on you." An anxious old man in a white robe, who was guarding the elven girl, spoke up as he looked at the two Five-Star Fiends in the group.
With Aliquin restrained, the Coradi brothers were the strongest Fiends left.
"Don't worry." Coradi and another Highgod with the head of a black bear appeared in front of their employer.
Luo Ya and his two companions had formed a temporary team with the two Berik brothers. At that moment, several hundred Midgods were pursuing them from behind.
"They're still chasing us?" Luo Ya looked back.
The bandits had split into several groups to pursue their targets. The several hundred Midgods who had set their sights on the five of them had now broken away from the main force.
"Profundity of Devour, activate!"
At once—
Dark Divine Power surged across a hundred-meter radius around Luo Ya. Dark Elements gathered together, instantly forming a huge black vortex. Not a single ray of sunlight penetrated it; nothing else could be seen inside.
At the same time, an immense force of suction filled the vortex!
The strange dark vortex turned toward the several hundred Midgods pursuing them. Its astonishing suction acted directly on every one of them.
"Ch-ch-ch—"
The several hundred Midgods tried to flee in terror, but the suction was simply too powerful!
The tremendous pull made it impossible for them to keep their footing. One by one, they were dragged toward the bottomless vortex.
"Ah!" The several hundred Midgods cried out in terror.
"Whoosh, whoosh~~~"
A vortex formed from countless Dark Elements, pitch-black and with no visible end, hung in midair. The several hundred Midgods fell into it one after another, like moths flying into a flame.
The suction bearing down on them was absurdly powerful. Even Highgods probably couldn't resist it!
"Is that... the Profundity of Devour?" The Highgod Fiend Berik stared at the scene in horror.
One by one, the Midgod bandits of all shapes and sizes sank into the dark vortex, like they were being swallowed by a monster's gaping maw.
What drove the Midgods to despair was that the black vortex seemed bottomless, greedily sucking them all in. They couldn't fight back in the slightest!
In just a moment, the dark vortex had swallowed every last one of the several hundred Midgods!
"Black Hole Collapse!"
At Luo Ya's thought, the enormous black vortex, which had expanded to nearly a hundred meters in diameter, instantly shrank into a tiny black speck.
"Boom!" A terrifying force of annihilation detonated as the vortex contracted. The several hundred Midgods trapped inside were completely annihilated, leaving nothing behind. Only a few Godheads, Artifacts, and other objects flew out through the vortex's shrinking entrance!
In an instant, all several hundred Midgods had been wiped out!
"Th-that's so powerful!" The orange-haired youth Ludi, standing beside Berik, stared wide-eyed.
"Luo Ya, are you actually a Highgod who's been hiding your strength?" Berik was utterly stunned as well.
Even he, a Highgod Fiend, would have to avoid the combined force of several hundred Midgods. Yet Luo Ya, a Midgod, had wiped them all out with a single move?
The Laws of Darkness did include the powerful Profundity of Devour, but even a Five-Star Fiend who had fused two Profundities probably couldn't achieve what Luo Ya had just done!
Could Luo Ya be a Six-Star Fiend who had been hiding his strength?
"This is my innate ability. In truth, this is the only move I have that's particularly powerful." Seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Luo Ya merely smiled.
He hadn't used his Willpower to boost that move just now. By rights, it shouldn't have been anywhere near that terrifying. After all, a Midgod who had fused two Profundities was only about as strong as an ordinary Highgod.
But while using that move, Luo Ya had also activated the devouring power of the Black Hole within his body!
Back when he had been in the Saint Realm, simply activating the Black Hole within his body had increased the power of the Profundity of Devour several times over. Now that he had become a Midgod, activating the Black Hole's devouring power naturally made the move even more terrifying!
Of course, only devouring moves built around the Profundity of Devour could receive such an enormous boost from the Black Hole within his body.
Attacks using Elemental War Beasts, built around the Profundity of Dark Element, or attacks built around other Profundities couldn't receive anything close to such an exaggerated boost.
Aside from close-quarters combat, this should be my strongest move right now. Luo Ya pondered silently.
"Innate ability?" Berik was even more astonished by Luo Ya's answer.
He'd heard of divine beasts and special races with innate devouring abilities, but this was the first time he'd encountered one as terrifying as Luo Ya.
On the other side, the battle between the powerful werewolf and Aliquin had also reached its climax.
"Die!"
Madness blazed in the old werewolf's dark green eyes. A blue-green aura swirled around his body, forming a giant dragon that seemed almost tangible.
"Roar~~" The blue-green dragon roared.
The dragon not only protected the werewolf's body, but also unleashed sonic attacks that affected Aliquin.
"Hmph!" Aliquin, his face pale, simply raised his right hand and struck at his opponent. His right hand, covered by a transparent glove, had turned a withered black!
Laws of Darkness—Profundity of Withering!
"Just what I wanted!" The werewolf advanced instead of retreating, fiercely swinging his own sharp claw, which was covered in a dark blue claw guard.
"Buzz~~"
As the claw swept through the air, it actually tore open a tiny spatial rift!
One unleashed a fearsome palm strike infused with the Laws of Darkness, while the other swung a sharp claw imbued with the Laws of Wind Elements.
"Slash—"
The dark blue claw was aimed at Aliquin's head, but Aliquin's palm struck the werewolf's claw with pinpoint accuracy.
"Bang!" The two violent forces collided, and the space around them began to tremble and shudder.
"Slash—" But in terms of material attacks, the werewolf was clearly stronger. Aliquin was the one sent flying back.
"Pusiluo, now!" Aliquin didn't seem bothered in the slightest. This had been his plan all along: to lure his opponent into a trap.
Once the werewolf chose to clash with him at full strength, he would naturally expose a weakness. That would be the perfect opportunity for Pusiluo to launch a lethal surprise attack!
"Meow~"
The golden kitten nestled in Aliquin's arms suddenly sprang out and transformed into a ball of flame in midair.
"Ch-ch-ch~~~" A terrifying wave of heat spread out in an instant. Pusiluo's entire body shattered and turned into a streak of fire. The streak flashed past and went straight through the werewolf's body.
"You—" The werewolf's entire body suddenly began to ripple uncontrollably like a wave. He stared wide-eyed at Pusiluo, who had returned to his kitten form. He had never imagined that the inconspicuous golden kitten could be so terrifying—"Ah!"
With an anguished, unwilling howl, the werewolf's Dark God Clone shattered into countless fragments.
A powerful Six-Star Fiend had fallen!
