Flames spewed out.
Cowos only felt a wave of heat coming toward him, and then the armor on his body began to melt in the flames.
The high temperature mercilessly burned the originally hard armor into a bright red, soft, and melted like a candle.
This was Mana Fire. This was the flame that Sharon had unleashed with all her strength before her death. Even Korvos couldn't ignore its power.
In fact, Cowos didn't expect Sharon to be so crazy that she would rather sacrifice her own life to kill him, so he couldn't react in time.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The magical flame was like a huge palm that grabbed Cowos's body, making him unable to move.
He could only watch helplessly as the magical flames broke through his magic armor and penetrated deep into his body. Almost instantly, his skin was scorched black by the flames. Then, it broke apart, revealing the bright red muscles and snow-white bones inside. Then, the flames entered and began to burn the old man's flesh and internal organs.
The pain brought about by the magical flame was far greater than that of ordinary flames. Not only would it burn your body, but it would also burn your soul.
Therefore, even Cowos couldn't bear such intense pain. He threw away the sword in his hand and staggered backward. But even so, the old man's eyes were still full of determination. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and opened his mouth.
"— — — —!!"
A roar broke out from the old man's mouth. At the next moment, a strong aura suddenly erupted like a whirlwind with Old Cowos as the center. The magical flame that was still raging in Cowos's body was suddenly blown away by the violent aura, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely extinguished.
At this moment, the old man groaned and half-knelt on the ground. His face was pale, and he gasped for breath.
Although he decisively dispersed Sharon's magical flame by erupting his own power, at this moment, Cowos was already exhausted. At least for a short time, he couldn't fight anymore.
"Clatter clatter …"
At this moment, a strange sound of metal rubbing against each other rang in Korvos's ears.
The old general raised his head, gasped for breath, and looked forward. Then, he was stunned.
In Korvos' eyes, a figure slowly walked out of the alley in the world that had turned bright red again.
It looked like a strong man. Its upper body was completely naked, and its lower body was wearing a tattered robe similar to that of a monk.
He held a huge sword in his hand and wore a huge triangular helmet made of iron on his head.
This made him look extremely strange, but also filled him with an indescribable sense of beauty.
What kind of damned monster was this?
Looking at the monster in front of him, Kovos revealed a bitter smile.
The pain in his body made him unable to move at all. Moreover, this monster was very powerful. Although it had yet to reach the Legendary Realm, it already had the strength of a Peak Master. The aura of death and darkness emanating from its body was so strong that the old man couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
If it was before, Cowos might have been able to defeat it.
But now, Cowos, who had been seriously injured, had completely lost his combat power. Not to mention a monster at the peak of the Master-level, even an insect could probably bite him to death.
But apparently, the old man wouldn't give up just because of that. On the contrary, he lifted his head, stared at the monster in the triangular helmet, and revealed a helpless smile.
"No matter what, at least it's a warrior in front of me …"
Gazing at the rusty, bloodstained blade in the opponent's hand, Cowos took in a deep breath, stretched out his burned, charred arm, and gripped the sword in his hand.
"So then, give me the home that a warrior deserves!"
At that moment, the old man snarled, raised his sword high, and charged at the opponent.
Cowos clenched the sword in his hand, and the sharp blade faintly shone in a pure white color.
At that moment, the old man had invested all his remaining dignity, glory, and life into this attack. To him, this would be the last time he launched an attack.
As the sword energy whistled past, Kovos rushed forward, facing the tall man in front of him, the long sword in his hand slashed forward.
Almost at the same time, the man in the triangular helmet gripped the huge sword in his hand and swept it forward, bringing up a whistling gale.
Blade rays flashed.
At the next moment, the old man's head flew into the sky, while his body stumbled a few steps forward, before crashing to the ground.
However, the man didn't even glance at the corpse. On the contrary, after completing the massacre, he turned around and walked into the depths of the scarlet, dark alley. After a few moments, the huge, strong, and pitch-black figure vanished once again.
And now, in this bloody, dark city, there was only one person left.
The old city lord stood quietly in the plaza, lifting his head to look at the statue in front of him.
This was once the statue of the first ruler of Golden City. But now, it was a statue of a boy.
The boy's entire body was tied to a wooden stick, and the burning flames spread from the bottom up, devouring the boy entirely.
The little face didn't reveal the fear and uneasiness that people imagined. Instead, it was filled with unwavering faith and solemnity.
It was as though death wasn't something that he was afraid of.
"This is where they burned Cliff to death."
The old man muttered under his breath. The sword in his hand was stained with blood, and the surroundings were filled with burning, decomposing monster fragments.
The entire plaza was filled with similar scenes, which went to show how powerful he was.
But now, the old man's expression was calm and serene as though he didn't care about his current predicament at all.
"Evil has always been a definition. I've never understood why people would commit crimes for the sake of an unknown evil.
To them, perhaps it's just an avatar.
But to a father, his child is his entire world … "
The old man said, letting out a sigh. Then, he turned around and gazed ahead.
Jenn stood behind him, gazing at him.
"Perhaps this is my retribution … 30 years ago, in order to retaliate against those who brandished the butcher's knife against my child in the name of justice, I released the sealed darkness and turned the entire city into a city of death.
And now, it's time for me to pay the price. "
"That's your problem, Mr. Hughes."
Jenn extended his hand, caressed the silver-whitish mask on his face, and smiled.
"I'm not interested in your past and your thoughts. To me, your life is the only thing I need."
"Hahaha … Of course, I know that. That's why I'm here. Because I know that you'll definitely come back for me."
The old city lord said, shaking his head. Then, he raised his sword and gazed at Jenn and Enoya.
"If you want my life, come and take it!"
Almost as soon as the old city lord raised his sword, Jenn struck.
His right hand drew a circle in midair. At the next moment, a thick, massive lightning bolt emerged out of thin air, metamorphosing into a lightning serpent that struck the old man.
The dazzling lightning illuminated the surroundings. Looking at this scene, the Old City Lord frowned. He tightened his grip on the longsword in his hand and swiftly dodged to the side, leaving a series of afterimages.
But Jenn apparently wouldn't give him the chance. He moved his right hand slightly and the lightning serpent made a turn, biting at the old man again.
This time, Hughes didn't dodge. He gazed at the lightning before him, thrusting his sword forward swiftly.
The blade seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.
Jenn witnessed Hughes's strike, but the lightning bolts before him were as though struck by several attacks at the same time.
Looking at this scene, Jenn twitched his brows, but didn't say a word. He knew that the old man before him wasn't easy to deal with. Now that the old man was determined to die, it was even more troublesome.
But to Jenn, this was only a small problem.
Facing Hughes's counterattack, Jenn abandoned the power of lightning without hesitation. Then, he extended his right hand forward. Along with this action, the pitch-black, inconspicuous cane emerged from thin air once again, disassembled, and assembled. Then, the strange sword appeared in his hand once again.
"Magic weapon?"
Gazing at the strange sword in Jenn's hand, the old city lord's expression changed slightly. Of course, he knew what a magic weapon was, but he didn't expect to see it here.
"You are …"
Blade rays erupted.
Jenn stepped forward. In an instant, the sword in his hand erupted with hundreds of specks of brilliance, spreading in all directions like a snowstorm and enveloping the old city lord.
Facing this overwhelming, bone-chilling blade aura, the old city lord raised his sword once again and made a blocking action.
Shortly after, something strange happened.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Hughes had only made a blocking action, but a series of flares appeared beside him instantly.
It was as if Zayen had unleashed hundreds of swords in an instant, and he had blocked all the hundreds of swords in an instant.
Space power?!
Upon sensing the aura from the blade, Jenn was taken aback. Even in the underworld, the power of space was considered a relatively rare attribute. Although any high Demons could use the power of space to a certain extent through summoning and teleportation, it was only instinctive.
There were very few who could truly manipulate the power of space. Zayen really did not expect to meet such a person on the Main Plane, which really surprised Zayen.
Originally, the reason why Jenn wanted him to kill Hughes was that he hoped to use his spiritual powers to repair Cyberlas. Ross's Holy Soul was not bad, but it was a pity that no god would be stupid enough to send a Holy Soul to cause trouble for Jenn.
In Golden City, the old city lord was the strongest and had the purest spiritual powers. He was the most useful in repairing the Magic Sword, which was why Jenn took action personally.
However, he didn't expect Hughes to have the space attribute, which surprised Jenn a little.
Fortunately, in order to prevent any accidents, Rhode had used the underground city system to disrupt the surrounding spatial fluctuations, so Hughes obviously couldn't escape with his own strength.
If it were anyone else, perhaps they would hesitate in the face of the space power, but Jenn didn't hesitate at all.
Although he was a little surprised, his movements continued. After his attack was blocked, Zayen advanced instead of retreating. He retracted the sword in his hand, and suddenly thrust forward again.
Boom!!!
The whistling sword aura pierced through the old man's defense. Hughes was shocked to see the incomparably powerful sword aura. He knew that Rhode wasn't weak and his swordsmanship wasn't inferior to his. However, he didn't expect Rhode to find the weakness of the space power so quickly. After all, mortals relied on their own strength to manipulate the space power. As the saying went, one could defeat ten with one's strength. And now, Jenn chose the simplest and most brutal method.
Jenn was also a Legendary Swordsman. Against an opponent of the same level, Hughes didn't dare to be careless. He immediately retracted his space power and blocked in front of him. At the next moment, Hughes saw Jenn's sword penetrating his space shield easily and colliding with his blade.
The old man's body swayed when he felt the power from the sword. However, he still gripped his sword tightly and blocked Jenn's attack.
At this moment, Hughes discovered that Jenn's right hand that was gripping the sword hilt was a little strange. It didn't look like he was gripping, but more like he was grabbing something …
Then, he saw Jenn's index finger pressing on a protruding arc on the sword hilt and hooking lightly.
The black light beam shot out from the gaps between the swords silently. Facing this sudden attack, Hughes had no way of defending himself. He could only watch helplessly as the light beam tore through his body and penetrated his chest.
The intense pain and ice-cold aura of death exploded in his body, causing the old man's strength to slow down.
Then, the pitch-black sword penetrated Hughes' defense and slashed his throat.
