Chapter 558 They are finished!
Jian stared at the blade in his hand. It was large, heavy, and sharp with a rough handle. He cursed under his breath because Kyle had already vanished from his sight.
"That fast guy. Doesn't he know I am not good with blades, especially the heavy ones? Ugh, I will just go with it until I have more divine energy in my body."
He scratched his head and rushed over to Xavier to help him out. The gray-haired man was shooting him dirty looks because Kyle and Jian started chatting instead of lending him a hand. Just as he reached Xavier, a woman's cry pierced the air behind him.
This time, the scream was so excruciating and tormenting that it sent chills down the spines of everyone who heard it. It felt like someone was trying to extract the person's soul and break it into pieces.
Xavier looked at Kyle, who had once again subdued the demon woman attempting to escape after the silver-haired man started talking to Jian. Kyle firmly held her head, and Xavier whispered under his breath.
"He's separating her soul from her body. Well, it's the only way to completely kill her because she is a transcendent-rank demon with the ability to regenerate her body."
Jian pushed aside one of the demons surrounding Xavier and glanced back.
"It looks excruciating. I know the process, but I haven't attempted it yet. I guess I will once I reach the transcendent-rank..."
He let out a regretful sigh because he wasn't able to do it right now, and Xavier's eyebrow twitched violently.
What the heck? They were talking about separating a soul from another's body for the world's sake! It's a delicate process, and if the soul is damaged, the person would never be able to have a good next life.
Kyle let go of the woman's head, and her body slumped lifelessly to the ground after her soul departed. He gazed at the demons a bit away from him and grabbed the spear floating behind him before his form turned into a blur as he vanished from his spot.
The demons and dark race individuals around him all immediately fled in different directions with panicked expressions. The ones battling with the elves and people of other races had also seen what went down. They also aimed to get as far as possible from the silver-haired man or ensure the man was dealt with.
The supreme rank demons were busy, so of course, they had to handle the human who was killing their kind like ants themselves. That's why among the transcendent rank demons and dark race individuals, three of them abandoned their opponents and joined forces to eliminate the human.
The human was solely relying on sheer strength and his spear to kill others. So if they gathered and launched an attack on him from a distance using their skills, they thought they could easily defeat him. But what unfolded next shocked everyone who thought Kyle's power was limited to his physical strength and his spear.
Kyle paused and stood over a demon's lifeless body he had taken down. He surveyed the scene, observing the dark fire engulfing everything in the vicinity — the once beautiful trees and the land too. Many individuals from the dark and demon races were attacking the people in front of them, but they now seemed a bit wary due to his presence. The sinister laughter in the air had turned eerily silent, and now everyone was solely focused on fighting.
Kyle noticed the two demons and one transcendent-rank woman with bat-like wings who approached him with their weapons from the corner of his eye. As he raised his head, his gaze locked onto the supreme rank demon fighting an elven man in the sky. The middle-aged demon with four expansive wings behind his back was engulfed in dark flames, emitting a sinister energy that polluted the air around him. Due to the dark flames, the sky above him had turned ominously dark and red.
The supreme rank demon, who sensed his gaze, looked down directly into his eyes. A dangerous murderous glint flashed through the demon's eyes. If he wasn't preoccupied with the supreme rank elf, he would have descended and tormented the human with his own hands.
The demon's eyes narrowed when the silver-haired human didn't flinch away from his dark gaze and instead stared back into his eyes with a mocking glint. Kyle's lips curled into a sneer, and he slowly raised his hand to flick his fingers while muttering a few words under his breath, knowing the supreme rank demon could hear them clearly despite the surrounding noise.
"See you again in a bit."
Right after his words faded, the air around him quivered, and an icy barrier descended upon a wide area around him. Then strange symbols lit up in the air and clung to the barrier to enhance its strength.
The people fighting who were enclosed in the barrier gasped at the icy layer filled with immense spiritual energy that completely isolated the space from the outside world. Countless icicles formed just inches away from the icy layer, their sharp tips pointing directly at every person within the barrier.
Kyle smirked as he watched the supreme-rank demon whose eyes dilated after his ice domain descended. He was the only one who could see through his domain, and he knew that even though the supreme rank individuals fighting far above in the sky could sense his domain, they couldn't peer inside and couldn't easily break through it because he used pure spiritual energy to form it.
"They can break it, but their hands are already full with the people opposite them. So, I guess I have a lot of time..."
He gazed at the three transcendent-rank individuals gathered around him, and their expressions sank when they sensed their strength decreasing due to some unknown reason. Kyle raised his spear and spoke loudly so everyone could hear him.
"The ones not emitting the scent of repulsive dark energy, now your opponents' strength is lower. Attack and finish them off as soon as possible."
Jian shouted from a distance.
"Haha, they are finished!"
