Chapter 754: We are done here!
On the far left side of the battlefield, Alec shivered as a wisp of frigid smoke escaped his mouth. He launched a sword attack on Enthrall alongside Elder Razial after James left to aid Elder Kurt.
His gaze shifted toward Kyle.
'If I'm feeling this chill from so far away, what the hell is Kyle, the origin of this cold, going through? His flames have turned too cold... Is his body alright?'
The system's faint mechanical voice echoed in his mind, and Alec was sure he sensed a hint of awe and regret in its tone.
'Don't worry. The flames originate from the essence within his body, and his body has already adapted to the cold.'
Alec narrowed his eyes sharply.
He focused on the sudden regret he had sensed in Soul's voice. Was the system regretting its failure to locate Kyle in time and its decision to attach itself to him?
Alright, a petty smile appeared on his face as he stared at Enthrall. He wasn't going to forget this. He would make sure Soul knew just how petty he could be!
The system instinctively felt that something had gone wrong for some reason, and then it disappeared, turning eerily quiet.
Enthrall's expression turned furious when he noticed the strength of the blue-haired man before him suddenly increase.
Alec's sword glowed with spiritual energy, and the fourth shadow general was pushed back in mid-air. Enthrall's face contorted in shock and extreme fury as he stared at the transcendent rank human before him.
Even elder Razial, who was behind Alec, was surprised. The middle-aged man with pointy ears stared at Alec and drew an array on his back to increase his spiritual energy.
Alec sensed the sudden surge of spiritual energy enter his body and attacked Enthrall with even greater force.
Suddenly, a multitude of glowing arrows pulsating with powerful and violent energy rained down from the right side toward the fourth shadow general, forcing him to retreat, but one of them grazed his arm.
Alec spotted Lara out of the corner of his eye and winked at her, prompting her to roll her eyes and change the direction of her bow to attack one of Ceano's bodies.
Enthrall stared at his bleeding arm with a dark expression before glancing at Alec and the woman in the distance.
He let out a loud roar. He was the most rational among all the shadow generals. Not only was Enthrall rational, but he also ensured he never got the short end of the stick. He always bet on the side that would win; that's why he had joined Azazeal.
"You!"
He wanted to comment that until now, hardly anyone had ever managed to attain this level of strength, but now there were kids reaching it and surpassing him left and right. It was so absurd. He wanted to call it bullshit, but then suddenly recalled why this blue-haired man looked so familiar.
"Ah... aren't you one of my slaves?"
Hearing Enthrall's words, Alec's expression darkened. So, he finally remembered that he had forced Alec to sign a dark contract?
"Shut up!"
He spat out coldly and attacked again.
Enthrall's eyes flickered with a torrent of emotions. To think... to think this man had become so strong in such a short time.
It hadn't been long since he went to that tiny, weak planet to find the origin of that powerful soul he discovered and forced this man, who wasn't even in the divine rank, to beg him. And now, that same person was fighting him on equal footing???
"Who the hell released you from the dark contract? I am going to mice that individual into thousand pieces with my own hands!"
He gritted his teeth, wanting to laugh-laugh at the nature that rendered everything so unfair for different people, favoring some immensely over others.
The frustration and fury clouding his mind made him see red, and he wanted nothing more than to sink his nails deep into Alec's heart. But he paused in his place when a loud whistling sound rang out in the air.
The space in the center of the battlefield cracked open, and a tall figure clad in an elaborate dark brown suit stepped out from the crack, emanating a powerful aura.
Damien's cold azure eyes surveyed the battlefield silently, absorbing everything around him. He glanced at Kyle, and a hint of unease flashed through his calm gaze as he recalled how this person had destroyed an entire planet right before his eyes.
Everyone fighting in the vicinity tensed upon seeing the first shadow general, especially James, who was already struggling due to old injuries that hadn't healed properly.
James knew that if Damien entered the battle, the poeple on his side wouldn't be able to withstand the combined threat of Damien, Enthrall, and Ceano.
However, Damien's next words shocked every single person in the area.
"Retreat! We are done here!"
Enthrall's lips curled upward into a smirk. The previous frustration and anger faded into the
background as he abandoned Alec and vanished toward Damien in a flash.
Alec's mouth hung open in shock, and he hurriedly tried to catch him but failed.
Enthrall clicked his tongue as he paused beside Damien for a moment.
"You took too long. You have grown old, and your strength has become rusty with time.
Increase your power, or someone else will take your place."
Damien glanced at him, fully aware that Enthrall had grown stronger and was eyeing his position as the first shadow general.
He sneered in a challenging manner, and Enthrall responded with an expression that indicated he accepted the challenge. And he was ready to fight him anytime.
With that, Enthrall vanished into the crack behind him without looking back, as if he had never come here to battle.
Damien glanced at one of Ceano's bodies, and two of them instantly rushed toward the crack, disappearing behind Enthrall along with several other powerful figures from the dark side without looking back.
His eyes widened suddenly, and many others who saw Kyle's sword tearing the last fake body of Ceano in two equal halves felt a chill run down their spines.
