“I have never sealed my true form, what unsealing are you talking about?” the Lord of the Flameless replied blandly: “To me, this is my true form.”
As the Lord of the Flameless revealed its true form, the oppressive aura that surrounded it suddenly vanished, and the previously overt terrifying aura began to dissipate.
Angel and Greerwu were finally able to move, but they dared not make any sudden movements, only quietly shifting away from the center of the battle.
With the oppressive aura gone, Aoluxiya became even more vigilant than before.
Without any sound of wind, the figure of the Lord of the Flameless suddenly appeared on the other side of Aoluxiya, lightly swinging its arm-like scythes.
In this process, there was no trace of pyrotechnics, nor did it stir up any energy fluctuations. Yet with just such a light flick, it tore a fissure through the space itself!
A terrifying suction force emerged from the crack, instantly causing the surrounding space to collapse.
Having retracted all external energies, every movement of the Lord of the Flameless caused no wind sound, no ripples.
Even though Aoluxiya was extremely cautious, facing such ripple-less attacks, it still got caught in the aftermath. Its right shoulder was slashed with a penetrating crack, its bones almost instantly shattered, and the only reason the arm didn’t fall off was due to a thin layer of skin holding it together.
Aoluxiya tore off its nearly useless right hand, and with a sound of drumming skin friction, a new arm grew out from its severed limb.
However, after the limb’s regrowth, Aoluxiya’s complexion turned even paler.
Aoluxiya was now completely being suppressed in the fight.
Faced with this situation, Aoluxiya also planned to unseal its own powers. When Aoluxiya returned from the ancient world, it felt that while its true form had been damaged and its True Spirit had fallen, only the power of its true name had not suffered any harm.
Thus, its only choice at the moment, was to unseal its true name!
But when it tried to do so, it found that the power of its true name had mysteriously disappeared… Aoluxiya was stunned for a moment, it could not even recall what its true name was.
Just in that moment of distraction, the figure of the Lord of the Flameless appeared behind it without a ripple.
A light sweep.
…
At this time, Angel was walking carefully with Greerwu toward the outskirts of the battle ring.
He didn’t dare to leave, firstly because he feared that any major action might draw the attention of the Lord of the Flameless; Angel had already faced its speed and knew that even if he fully activated his Gravity Meridian, he would not match it.
Secondly, Angel had a vague feeling that Greerwu was right; this realm harbored an inexplicable strangeness. Angel always had an indefinable sense that somewhere in the distant darkness, a gaze was fixed upon him.
This was a foreboding just as perilous as the current situation.
With ominous signs both before and after, Angel glanced at Toby, who was resting calmly in his breastplate pocket, thinking that even if calamity struck, at least it would not target him alone here.
After walking a short distance, Angel suddenly felt that the sounds behind him faded almost to nothing.
As he wondered about this, Greerwu at his side suddenly cried out in alarm.
“Don’t!”
Because of the previous ordeal, Angel had stopped watching the battle until Greerwu revealed that terrified expression; only then did Angel turn to look back.
Aoluxiya was facing in their direction at that moment.
At first, Angel didn’t notice anything amiss, but suddenly, a burst of blood exploded from Aoluxiya’s waist.
In a displacement, Aoluxiya’s body was split in two — it had been cleaved in half at the waist by the Lord of the Flameless!
