Chapter 1410: The Lost Soul

Flames and explosions. Thunders and storms. Ertos trembled violently within the boundaries of destructive energy. The thousand-year walls had collapsed and the magnificent temple had disappeared into the wind. It was a magnificent scene, which had never occurred on Earth since the Mythological Age. The rolling sea of blood hung upside down from the sky, and all kinds of artillery, as well as energy beams, were heading up to go against the sea of blood. At that moment, the lost space seemed to be turning upside down amid the rainstorm.

The bat swarm behind Vivian had turned into two white-hot electrical storms, while dazzling eddies of electric current floated on both sides of her giant bat wings. Each shock of current sent two powerful arcs, dozens of meters wide and dozens of kilometers long. The arcs were as powerful as natural thunderbolts, and they carried with them Vivian’s unique aura, which even the Malevolence could not contend with.

Like a small sun, a brilliant fireball suddenly burst open, forming a short void in the center of the sea of blood. After the light from the explosion point faded, a phantom figure wrapped in black-red mist slowly emerged. Hao Ren spat and said, “Her life force is simply outrageous.”

Vivian heard him and said, “But she’s starting to weaken.”

Hao Ren nodded and stared at the hollow figure wrapped in black and red mist.

The madness of the Malevolence was still undiminished, but she lacked general senses. Apart from the usual frenzied fighting, the monster was clearly at the end of its tether.

Her recovery rate was getting slower and slower. Nearly two-thirds of the churning sea of blood in the sky had evaporated, and even the black and red shockwaves she unleashed were not as fearsome as they initially were.

Although a Malevolence with a divine nature was an unexpected enemy, Hao Ren was not how he used to be. No matter how strong the Malevolence was, she was just a lunatic. As long as he had a mastery of certain skills and used targeted fighting methods, it was only a matter of time before the Malevolence was eliminated.

All they needed was a little bit of patience.

“Kill everyone… Kill… Kill…”

The Malevolence’s voice echoed in the sky, but before her newly-united body could make an attack, a white light cannon on the ground blasted through her body, blowing it into ashes.

“Ow ow, ow ow! Woof!” A loud howl came from below.

“What did Lily say?”

“That was her last shot,” Vivian replied, glancing at the giant husky who was jumping up and down in the pyramid’s ruins, trying to send them a signal. “Two of her shots went awry…”

“Well, she’s colorblind.” Hao Ren shook his head, then turned to look at the Malevolence. The shapeless figure had just started to regenerate, and in the process of regeneration, it kept emitting black particles, which looked like ashes. “It’s almost time to end this…”

The light blue antigravity halo flashed, and he rushed towards the Malevolence. Two godslaying swords silently appeared in his hands, and the black blades glittered with a mysterious brilliance.

The Malevolence saw the enemy approach her immediately after she recovered. She raised one arm, and her eyes blazed with anger. “Kill…”

The black and red shockwaves, which always appeared in the air as soon as she raised her hand, came out a little later this time. Before that could happen, Hao Ren had already passed by. He raised the godslaying swords in the air, and the next second, half of the Malevolence’s body turned directly into ash.

The black and red shockwaves that had just formed also dissipated in an instant.

However, that did not immediately kill the Malevolence. The Malevolence’s shadow just shook violently before half of its body began to rise again in the smoke. At the same time, she turned her head and looked angrily in Hao Ren’s direction, letting out a confused roar that could not be distinguished at all.

Just as the Malevolence turned around, another figure rushed at her from the other side with lightning and a mist of blood. “Where are your eyes? I’m here!” Vivian said in a cold tone.

The Malevolence turned back and saw a ball of crimson light in Vivian’s hand as Vivian scratched it from top to bottom.

The barrage of magic (and nukes) was over, leaving only the sound of fierce fighting in the air. The weak Malevolence was no match for Vivian at all. Not to mention, Vivian had a special power that could suppress the Malevolence. The ancient vampire’s 10,000-year-old fighting skills erupted completely at that moment, and Vivian’s angry voice resounded through the sky.

“Killing and robbing using my face! Discrediting me! Most important of all… I’m so poor, yet you sleep in a golden coffin! A golden coffin!!”

With a punch that broke the barriers of sound, the Malevolence was torn apart. Vivian’s voice echoed above the ancient city. “If I had the chance to even sleep in an oak coffin for once in my life, I would die a happy death!”

In a corner, Lorrisa lowered her hands, which supported her Sacred Flame Barrier. She was exhausted but unable to resist muttering, “She sounds resentful.”

“Lord Vivian has always been resentful in this respect…” said Hessiana.

The dismembered “corpse” of the Malevolence slowly fell from the air and burned violently before it reached the ground. Only a few bits of ash fell in front of them.

Rollie nervously looked up at the sky, fearing that the horrible “Vivian” would come alive again. This time, however, there was no “infinite rebirth” from the monster. The frantic energy in the sky gradually quieted down, and the churning sea of blood, like dew in the sun, slowly became transparent and vague, finally turning into nothingness.

The giant whirlpool of quicksand at the edge of the lost space reappeared in the sky.

Hao Ren and Vivian descended. Y’zaks waved his Demonic Barrier away, nodded to them, and said, “Finally.”

The uplands where the grand temple stood had been plowed by the aftermath of the battle. Not only did the solid granite ground break down, but even the bone layer beneath the slates appeared to be riddled with holes. Droplets from the sea of blood accumulated into a river, leaving a horrifying trail of decay on the bone foundation beneath the city.

The area where Y’zaks was standing on was like an island of refuge in the corroded land.

The corrosion caused by the blood had spread to half of the city. Standing at the top of the ramp and looking out, almost all of the land was visibly covered with smoke and crumbling ground. The remaining buildings stood alone on the decayed ground, the walls looked like candles melting into strange shapes. And among the decayed remains, there were countless stone soldiers with countless wounds.

The colossi had survived the disaster.

However, they did not look right.

The statues did not stop with the death of the Malevolence, but there was no sign of any further action. They just stood quietly around the high ground, remaining eerily silent despite their flashing runes.

“The Malevolence has been destroyed. What are these guards going to do?” Hao Ren asked, frowning.

“Awwwooooo… Woof!”

Hao Ren took out a set of spare clothes from his Dimensional Pocket and stuffed it into Lily’s mouth. “Transform back into a human before you talk! How can I understand what you’re saying?”

“These statues have been like this ever since the Malevolence was killed,” Hessiana said, pointing at the colossi hundreds of meters away. “They look scary.”

Hao Ren frowned and looked up at the sky. Nearly half of the turrets had been destroyed in battle, but there was still enough artillery left for another battle. Although running so many turrets for such a long time could take a huge toll on his mental stamina, he had already started to wonder if he should to take the opportunity to kill the stone statues that could not fight back.

However, just as the idea came to him, a warm voice suddenly entered his mind. “Hello.”

Hao Ren was startled, but he did not show it. “Who are you?”

“I’m Ertos,” the soft voice replied in a slow, calm tone.

Hao Ren really could not hold his surprise this time, and seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the others, he knew that he was not the only one who heard the voice.

Vivian calmed down and asked, “Which Ertos are you? The city? Or the ancient beast?”

“You’re standing on my head right now,” said Ertos slowly.
