c1249: Speculation (2)

If Angel didn’t use the relic, what could he do when facing the Lord of the Flameless?

It seemed there was only one thing he could do.

“Did you pull off something like the Night Demon City affair?” Sanders speculated, recalling how everything had aligned in Angel’s favor enabling him to create the chaos in Night Demon City. Replicating that would be extremely difficult.

Angel shook his head and recounted what happened.

“So it was ‘him’.” Sanders’s face showed little surprise. When Angel’s physique had become stronger, Sanders had already speculated as much.

“At that time, my thought processes had already entered a comatose state, what actually happened, I learned afterward from the memories ‘he’ left with me.” Angel continued, “He seemed to be attached to me at first, matching the Lord of the Flameless in battle.”

As Angel narrated, Sanders silently memorized and analyzed in his heart.

Hearing Angel’s implication, that person had not come in his true form but only with a strand of consciousness attached to Angel, and he was able to match an avatar of a Half-step Legend Demon God in battle—how powerful would his bodily form be?

While Sanders was still pondering the real strength of that person, Angel again took him on a roller coaster ride.

“…Later, the Demon God unleashed True Spirit Force, and his power surged… My body sustained damage, and ‘he’ left my consciousness, battling the Lord of the Flameless with just his consciousness.”

“And then?”

“One blow. It only took one blow. The Lord of the Flameless’s head shattered.”

Sanders wore a face of astonishment.

A Demon God who had already used True Spirit killed with a single blow by that person?

“Not just that, after killing the Demon God’s avatar, he used only one more blow to extinguish the… True Spirit of the Lord of the Flameless as well.”

This time, Sanders was thoroughly stunned!

“You mean, the Lord of the Flameless’s actual True Spirit?”

Angel nodded, “Yes, precisely because the True Spirit of the Lord of the Flameless was shattered on the Continent of Yuantan, and the True Spirit Force scattered, that the Continent of Yuantan was saved from collapse.”

Angel’s subsequent words were lost on Sanders; his mind was fixated on, “The Demon God’s True Spirit has been shattered!”

The power of a Demon God chiefly consisted of three parts: the True Name, True Spirit, and True Body!

Now, with the True Spirit of the Lord of the Flameless gone, this meant that its power had significantly diminished—not merely by a simplistic third but by an even more substantial margin. It might even fall from the position of a great Demon God!

At the same time, this also meant that the ‘Demon God’s shadow,’ which had been a source of concern for all the wizards of the Southern Domain because of Monty’s hunting plan, had disappeared!

For now, how could the Lord of the Flameless threaten to invade the Southern Domain when it was struggling to maintain its own power?

Sanders was dazed for a moment; he had been contemplating the extent of that person’s strength.

Now he realized, he might not even have the qualifications to speculate.

While there might not be any Legendary Wizards in the Southern Domain at present, it had seen many legends in the past, and therefore many a record of Legendary Wizards existed. As a key figure of the Barbarian Cave, Sanders naturally knew many legendary tales, and thus he could make a rough analysis of a legend’s strength using books as reference.

But beyond the legends, he only knew of a term called “Miracle,” with no further information.

And that person’s strength, having shattered a Demon God’s True Spirit with one blow, evidently had reached a level of power beyond legend that defied description!

How could he even begin to speculate?
