Chapter 718: Onicuss's whereabouts
-"Where are we going?"
Bia's enormous wings, enveloped in crimson flames, illuminated the darkness around her as she trailed behind Kyle's figure with a curious expression.
She only knew that he wanted to settle a score with someone and had no idea where they were heading. However, from the cold and evil smile on his face, she was certain that whoever they were searching for was destined to meet a gruesome end.
Kyle turned around in the space and glanced at her with a gleam in his eyes.
His lips curled upward into a smirk.
"You want to know where we're going? I'm not exactly sure of the name of that place, but it's a planet conquered by the dark side. There's a man named Onicuss. I want to kill him since I finally remembered that I swore I would end him with my own hands."
Bia furrowed her brows, rolling the name Onicuss on her tongue. It sounded familiar. Her thoughts came to a halt, and her eyes widened when she finally recalled where she had heard the name before!
-"The fifth shadow general!"
Her voice echoed through the vast darkness as they glided through a sea of distant stars and planets.
Kyle let out a chuckle.
"Perhaps?"
At the moment, he felt incredibly light... all because he remembered so much about his forgotten past. Although he still hadn't recalled his family, there were many joyful memories he had grasped.
He glanced at the sight around him, spinning his body in the air.
"It's breathtaking-the countless stars shimmering in the vast, dark space."
Bia mimicked his actions and glanced around, and for the first time, she saw the beauty of the universe.
- "Oh... it is."
They admired the space before disappearing into a portal. Kyle had no idea of the location of the planet where he met Onicuss, but he was sure he would find the man soon enough since he was going to create chaos on every planet belonging to or conquered by the dark side until they themselves led him to Onicuss.
In no time, the phoenix and the human entered a colossal planet enveloped in a crimson hue, only to discover that they had arrived at the sole planet in the universe owned by the demon
race.
Planet Eadmire—the very planet where Nine had discovered the dark contracts.
Perhaps it was due to Kyle's luck stat?
Kyle's figure descended above one of the largest buildings on the planet, destroying everything in the process, as he wanted to make his presence known.
Just as he had anticipated, the moment he released his aura, countless pseudo-divine, divine,
and transcendent rank demons, with four expansive dark-colored wings behind their backs
and white slit pupils, filled the sky and the space around him.
Kyle cracked his knuckles. He had already scanned the entire planet with his senses and knew that a few supreme rank demons were also present on the planet.
But they posed no threat, as they were only at the initial stage of supreme rank.
'Those arrogant bastards didn't even bother to show themselves. Are they thinking that a mere transcendent rank would be easily handled by their minions?'
The countless demons encircling him snickered at him, their eyes glimmering with malice as one of them taunted, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
"Did you lose your way, human?"
Another chimed in.
"Don't worry, we'll make sure you don't die too quickly; it's been a while since someone dared to intrude on our territory, so we want to alleviate our boredom first."
A third added, licking his lips.
"He is handsome; the wealthy demons will surely covet his skin and flesh."
As their loud laughter echoed around him, Kyle simply raised a finger toward them. His loud voice silenced the crowd.
"I don't like the demon race since you all stink... but today I'm here because I want to know where Onicuss is. I will start killing and won't stop until I get the whereabouts of the man I'm looking for."
A demon nearby laughed mockingly at him after hearing his unbelievable words. This human thought he could kill them in their own territory-who did he think he was?
The others might have joined in, but before they could, the laughing demon's body was sliced in two equal halves.
Kyle wiped the blood from the saber in his hand and lifted his gaze.
"Bia, stop hiding, will you?"
A loud tsk echoed in the air, startling everyone who had frozen in disbelief after witnessing how easily the human had killed a peak divine rank in front of them, but they were unable to
even react.
In the next moment, crimson flames erupted into the air, and the phoenix, who had been enjoying the show from behind the invisible barrier she had created around herself, let out a piercing cry. The barrier surrounding Bia shattered, revealing her massive figure enveloped in
flames.
The demons' eyes widened at the sight of the breathtaking phoenix, her pure golden flames casting a radiant glow that pierced through the shadows of their dark planet.
In an instant, alarm bells blared in their minds as they knew, they knew that right now there was only one individual in the entire universe who had a powerful fire phoenix as a bonded companion-it was none other than nature's favorite!
The very nature's favorite who had killed Will, the third shadow general!
The atmosphere crackled with tension, and the demeanor of the demons shifted. Some of those with brain vanished to contact the shadow generals or somehow alert the few supreme ranks currently on their planet.
Kyle sensed the movement when a few demons departed from the area, but he chose not to stop any of them.
After all, he was sure that by the time any individual capable of stopping him arrived, he would already be finished here.
He vanished from his spot, and all the demons around him were terrified when a powerful massive ice domain descended from the sky to envelop them completely.
Bia, who was about to ask Kyle how they were both going to handle the residents of an entire planet on their own, blinked when the ice domain descended.
She knew that even though they were both strong, they wouldn't have enough energy to handle so many people. That's why, upon seeing the ice domain, her eyes lit up.
After all, she knew that the area inside Kyle's ice domain couldn't be detected or breached by anyone without his permission, as the domain created an invisible barrier that separated the enclosed space from the surrounding environment.
- 'Ah... so he never planned to fight the entire planet. He just wanted to get Onicuss's whereabouts and then disappear!'
- 'Now, this is going to be fun!'
With a flick of his wrist, Kyle unleashed a pulse of spiritual energy that began to form multiple symbols, which quickly entered his domain and increased its strength.
The demons attacked him, but he easily dodged their strikes. A dark aura erupted from his body as he activated his fear skill, aiming to completely obliterate the hope of the demons surrounding him.
"I have already told you all what I want to know. If you wish to survive, simply provide me with the information I seek."
He flashed a beautiful smile that sent chills down the spines of everyone around him as his fear skill enveloped them entirely.
But just as Kyle expected, many transcendent-rank individuals escaped the influence of his fear skill. They began to cry for help and break the ice domain.
He shook his head.
"How annoying. Why can't any of you understand even the simplest words? I suppose I will have to eliminate half of you to get the others to start talking."
A powerful aura erupted from his body as he vanished from his position. No, he didn't use
instant teleportation; he simply utilized all his agility to move with a speed that was
imperceptible to anyone.
In the next moment, numerous cries began to echo through the air, but no one outside the ice domain could hear them, as they were completely engulfed within it.
Bia also spread her flames, and it didn't take long for the demons surrounding them to plead for mercy and reveal everything they knew about Onicuss's whereabouts.
The phoenix's eyes turned toward Kyle. For some reason, he wasn't as brutal as when the two
first met in the Sacred Divine Land.
-'Is it because he remembers many of his memories? Well, this change isn't bad.'
