A vast aura surged forth.
The squad members spread out. Though they were still outnumbered, the attackers felt as if they were the ones being surrounded.
Boom!
With a wave of Baal's hand—
The bodies of every fallen Destruction Squad member turned into Black Flames that gathered toward Er Dongsheng.
On closer inspection, faint, illusory souls seemed to linger within those flames.
"Rest assured. How could I let you die so easily? Another, brighter world will be your place of rebirth!"
"The glory of Destruction will spread once more."
Er Dongsheng drew every Black Flame into the enormous Crystal in his chest. Slowly, he raised his head and silently surveyed the Third-Level Demons around him, his gaze settling mostly on Geer Grot.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with me!" Scorching flames poured off Geer, their red tongues whipping his clothes into a frenzy.
His powerful aura bore down on Er Dongsheng.
And yet...
"How are you feeling?" Er Dongsheng could not be bothered with him. He turned instead to the excited survivors of the Destruction Squad beside Mephisto.
They stared at Baal, who had descended from the sky, unable to contain the emotions surging through them.
Their auras joined as one. When Er Dongsheng looked their way, they lifted their heads and squared their shoulders, eager for battle.
Their actions said everything.
