Seizing Their Assets! Breaking the Engagement!

The black flames leaped wildly.

Riser's body had completely melted.

His bones shattered inch by inch.

"Aaaah! It hurts!"

"Immortal Flame! Save me!"

Riser rolled frantically across the floor.

The Phoenix bloodline within him worked furiously.

Orange-red flames kept pouring from his wounds.

Those immortal flames tried to reconstruct his flesh.

But...

The Amaterasu Black Flames were flames of destruction that could devour even fire.

With their laws amplified two hundredfold...

The black flames...

Not only refused to go out, but burned all the more violently.

The orange-red phoenix flames became the perfect fuel for the black flames.

Sizzle.

Riser's flesh was stripped away, bit by bit.

Then came his soul.

Even...

The resurrection law deeply rooted within his body...

Began collapsing beneath the searing black flames at that very second.

The resurrection law fractured inch by inch.

Riser's High-Speed Regeneration stopped entirely.

"N-no..."

"Father... save me... please..."

Riser's voice grew impossibly faint.

His eyes brimmed with helplessness and despair.

The black flames mercilessly licked his face.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Riser's screams finally fell silent.

Boom.

The black flames gradually dispersed.

Nothing remained on the marble floor.

No blood.

No bones.

Not even a trace of ash.

Riser, the prodigy of the ancient noble Phenex family...

Had been utterly erased from this spacetime.

Resurrection and reincarnation had all become empty promises.

"Riser... my son..."

The Phenex family head...

Stared fixedly at that empty patch of floor.

Overwhelming terror instantly shattered his reason.

The son he had been so proud of...

The son who possessed an indestructible body...

Had been burned into nothingness before everyone's eyes.

Even his soul had been incinerated completely.

"Th-this isn't a Devil's power..."

"You're a god... a deity..."

The Phenex family head's lips trembled uncontrollably.

The demonic power within him quaked violently.
