Realizing the greatest danger, Glorios began fighting for his life. Even at the cost of taking Hegel's dark-origin attack head-on, he unleashed the terrifying power of his kingdom like a raging tide, heavily injuring and blasting away the Dark Elemental King once more. Without losing momentum, it surged toward Chen Rui—just as he saw that a sword had appeared in Chen Rui's hand.
The sword guard depicted two angels standing back to back. Its blade was snow-white throughout, engraved with two strange sets of markings, ancient yet brimming with a mysterious aura.
Before the roaring power of the kingdom could reach him, Chen Rui decisively swung the sword in his hand at the break in the scythe. In an instant, Glorios and the scythe both let out howls of agony. The power of the entire kingdom began to distort, echoing with shrill screams.
The snow-white longsword carried a special suppressive power. The wisps of golden soul-essence power that had been trying to flee were like snowflakes meeting fire, erased completely.
"No!" The Lich King and the scythe cried out in overlapping voices. "That sword..."
The sword in Chen Rui's hand was not Northern Abyss, but one of the Seven Artifacts—the Sword of the Fallen Angel.
The scythe's composite metal was incomparably tough, but its materials happened to be excellent for converting into aura. Though Chen Rui could not turn the entire scythe into aura in a short time, opening a gap in it was no problem. Moreover, the Sword of the Fallen Angel possessed the characteristic of "Soul Ripper," capable of directly killing and splitting an enemy's soul power. Even the soul of a kingdom-level powerhouse would have no chance of survival if struck unguarded by the Sword of the Fallen Angel.
The surrounding power of the kingdom rapidly weakened.
