Vol 14 Chapter 29: Penitent Flames

Seeing Wyrnessin suddenly appear in front of him, Loysius heart shook.

Im finished! Loysius couldnt help but feel some despair.

The Spiritleech planted in his soul was only in his most powerful divine Life clone. Loysius had another divine clone. But now, that clone wasnt able to flee either.

If you dont want to die right now, then go back! Wyrnessin barked.

Loysius knew that by retreating, he would probably die as well, but he still chose to return to the encirclement.

Crunch! A dagger pierced straight into the head of a God.

And then, with a flip of his hand, Bebe collected the corpse as he flew back towards Linley. Linley, Bebe, and Delia were all in one location. If others didnt attack them, they wouldnt attack others either. But once any person attacked them, Linleys team would immediately kill the enemy!

Regina was by Linleys side as well.

Only, at this sort of critical, life-and-death juncture, Linleys team didnt dare to fully trust Regina either.

Blood splattered everywhere as the slaughter continued.

Linley. Delia looked towards Linley, who squeezed out a smile. Given the situation, and the fact that Wyrnessin had already said that only a single God would be permitted to remain living, there would definitely be casualties in Linleys group of three.

Who would die?

I would rather die than let Delia or Bebe die. At this moment, Linleys heart was in great pain.

Even if I die, Ill die by your side. Delia looked at Linley, a hint of a smile actually on her face. I am already very satisfied to be able to be together with you.

What nonsense are you spewing! Linley shouted angrily with his divine sense.

But Linleys heart was tied up in knots. Although Delia wasnt very talented in terms of training, all these years, she had quietly supported Linley. Her quiet attentiveness and support had imperceptibly transformed their love for each other, engraving it into each others souls.

In neither life nor death would they be parted.

You wont die. Linley looked at Delia, while at the same time paying careful attention to the surrounding area.

That white-robed man who had sold quite a few moon rings was staring at Linleys team. Just then, Linleys team had already discovered that the white-robed man was indeed very strong. Ten Gods had already died by his hand.

I urge you not to come offend us. Wielding the adamantine heavy sword in his hand, Linley sent his divine sense.

The white-robed man hesitated as he looked at Bebe. In the end, he didnt choose to attack.

Linley and Bebe had killed quite a few people just then as well. Linley used soul attacks, while Bebe used material attacks. They were amongst the most powerful Gods of this group as well.

HALT! A cold shout thundered forth from the direction of Royalwing City.

Everyone who heard this angry shout felt their head grow dizzy. They lost all perception, and only a while later did they recover. By the time Linleys team had recovered, they saw that three figures had appeared in mid-air. Beneath the light of the Blood Sun, the shadow of the leader of those figures seemed all the more majestic and dazzling.

He wore a long golden robe, had white eyebrows, and golden pupils!

White eyebrows, golden pupils!

Governor Royalwing, Seven Star Fiend! Linleys heart exulted wildly. Linley, Bebe, and Delias faces instantly revealed a look of utter joy.

Not just them; even the silver-haired elder who was drenched in blood from the battle but had yet to die, upon realizing who had come, let out an excited call, Lord Governor!

Lord Governor? Quite a few of the Fiend trial participants stared at the newcomer in excitement.

As a Seven Star Fiend, Royalwing definitely was one of the most powerful forces of the Infernal Realm.

Oh, Stuart [Situerte]! The gray-robed man, Wyrnessin, glanced at Governor Royalwing. Stuart, can it be that you want to interfere in this matter?

Linleys group was shocked. They knew that Royalwing was nothing more than the nickname which the Governor Royalwing had gained upon becoming a Seven Star Fiend.

As for Lord Royalwings real name, not many knew.

The white eyebrows of Governor Royalwing rose, and he stared at Wyrnessin with a sharp gaze. Wyrnessin, this is a squad from the Fiend Castle, and they are very close to Royalwing City. Dont go too far. Governor Royalwings words contained a hint of anger as well.

Stuart, my divine clone was killed. You tell me, am I justified or not in getting revenge? Wyrnessin stared at Governor Royalwing.

Governor Royalwing frowned. Your divine clone was destroyed? How could the likes of them have done that?

Governor Royalwing knew exactly how powerful Wyrnessin was.

Wyrnessin hesitated momentarily, then said sourly, I was staying in my lair, focusing on analyzing the Edicts of Death, but my divine Darkness clone was staying in Moon Lake Castle. After all, Wyrnessin wanted to enjoy life as well. He couldnt always spend his time in training.

Who would have imagined that such a large number of people would suddenly attack my Moon Lake Castle. Wyrnessin was furious.

Governor Royalwing now understood.

This was very simple. Many experts would choose to divide their divine clones up in multiple locations. That way, if one divine clone fell into grave danger, at least another would survive.

How can I possibly not avenge such a huge enmity? Wyrnessin said.

To these ultimate experts, their life was of course incomparably valuable. A divine clones destruction was equivalent to losing one of their lives. Who wouldnt be utterly enraged? Wyrnessin had planned long ago to kill all of these Fiends and spare not a one.

Governor Royalwing was worried as well. He then looked at Wyrnessin and said slowly, Wyrnessin, I understand how you feel. Butyou are acting right outside of Royalwing City. You should at least give me, Stuart, a little face.

Wyrnessin frowned slightly.

Both Governor Royalwing and Wyrnessin had become famous as ultimate experts eons ago in a long bygone era. They had long ago, in that era, become Seven Star Fiends!

Stuart, can it be that you want to fight me? Wyrnessin said in a low voice, frowning.

Right now, the thirty-plus survivors who were surrounded were watching nervously. Linley and the others knewright now, their lives were in the hands of these two ultimate experts. Whether they lived or died would depend on the results of Governor Royalwings discussions with Wyrnessin.

I dont want to fight with you, but, you cant go too far either. Governor Royalwing said.

Wyrnessin understood Royalwings temper quite well.

Fine. These little God-level fellows, I wont kill them. But those four Highgods that are still surviving, I must kill them! Wyrnessin said with certainty. The destruction of my divine clones involved those Fiends!

Governor Royalwing glanced over.

Lord Governor! The silver-haired elder said hurriedly, and the other three Highgods looked towards Governor Royalwing with supplicating gazes.

Governor Royalwing spoke out. Of the four surviving Highgods, that one over there is a staff member of the Fiend Castle. Governor Royalwing pointed at the silver-haired elder. He cant possibly have anything to do with your death.

Wyrnessin glanced sideways at the silver-haired elder, then nodded and said, Fine. I can spare him.

Lord Governor. The other three Highgods, Loysius included, called out repeatedly.

But Governor Royalwing didnt pay them any mind at all. Governor Royalwing looked at Wyrnessin, sending a divine message. It is best if you take care of this quickly. Youve caused so much commotion, and were taking so much time Wyrnessin immediately understood.

Governor Royalwing wanted face as well.

Fine!

Wyrnessin smiled.

Lord Governor! Loysius, the muscular blue-haired man, and a gold-haired Fiend immediately called out in high voices.

You killed one of my divine clones. Hmph! Wyrnessins eyes suddenly turned white, and a translucent ripple spread out, immediately shooting towards the muscular blue-haired man, the gold-haired Fiend, and one of Loysius divine clones, invading their bodies.

Ah! Desolate screams were ripped forth from the three.

At the same time, a translucent flame swirled above the heads of the three, and then the three fell down from the skies, dead!

Penitent Flames? Governor Royalwings eyes lit up. This Wyrnessin has become much more powerful than he had previously been.

So powerful. Seeing this, the nearly thirty lucky survivors were all shocked. Highgod Fiends had been killed without any ability to fight back by this Wyrnessin, and just then, that formless attack that had created translucent flames was something they had never even heard of.

Right now, the only surviving Fiend was Loysius. This was the divine clone of Loysius which had suffered the Spiritleech.

His other divine clone had been killed.

Penitent Flames? Loysius stared in terror towards Wyrnessin. The legendary Penitent Flames? Loysius now fully understood how great the difference was between him and Wyrnessin.

Youwhy havent you gone to challenge an Asura yet? Loysius said.

Linley had a thought. Challenge an Asura? Linley knew that the Infernal Realm had, in total, 108 prefectures, and also 108 Asuras! The Lord Prefect of every single prefecture was an Asura! In the Infernal Realm, Asura was a title given only to the mightiest of experts, and there was only one way to obtain it.

Challenging for it!

But not just anyone had the right to challenge an Asura. The challenger had to first become a Seven Star Fiend!

Upon becoming a mighty Seven Star Fiend, one had the right to challenge an Asura. If the challenge was successful, the previous Asura would lose the title of Asura, and the challenger would receive the title of Asura. Thus, there would forever be only 108 Asuras in the Infernal Realm.

Challenge an Asura? Wyrnessin glanced at him sideways. First of all, Im not too interested in that.

Secondly, do you think that just because I am able to use the Penitent Flames that I will be able to defeat an Asura? Wyrnessin snickered. If we were still in the era of when I first arrived in the Infernal Realm, perhaps. But countless years have passed. After so many challenges, every single Asura of our era is extremely hard to deal with.

Wyrnessin glanced towards Governor Royalwing as well.

Governor Royalwing nodded slightly, as though he shared the same thoughts.

They were both Seven Star Fiends, and they had reached the level of Seven Star Fiends countless years ago. But they didnt dare to go challenge the Asuras! Because if their challenge was to fail, then generally speaking, the result would be death!

Little fellows, count your blessings. Wyrnessin glanced at the nearly thirty surviving Gods.

Wyrnessin didnt have too much of an urge to kill Linley and these others, because he too knew that the death of his divine clone didnt have much to do with these Gods. Since Governor Royalwing had come in person, he had to give Governor Royalwing some face.

Everyone, leave now. Governor Royalwing spoke out.

Immediately, under the leadership of the silver-haired elder, the nearly thirty lucky God-level survivors immediately flew towards the direction of Royalwing City.

Moments later

In mid-air, the only figures left were Wyrnessins subordinates, Loysius, and the three people on Governor Royalwings side.

Hmph, what are you looking at? You want to go back to Royalwing City as well? Haha, in your dreams! Wyrnessin looked at Loysius, who ignored him silently. But then, Loysius suddenly began to spasm, shrieking in agony while clutching his head.

Governor Royalwings eyebrows lifted up.

It is a Spiritleech. Wyrnessin said unconcernedly.

Governor Royalwing was slightly startled, and he let out a surprised breath. Wyrnessin, you were able to make a Spiritleech? Although it isnt very effective against experts on our level, this thing is astonishingly valuable. Spiritleeches werent of great use against the likes of Governor Royalwing.

However, in the entirety of the Infernal Realm, how many people were capable of being on their level?

If you want one, you can come to my place to buy one. The price that Ill give you will be 10% lower than the price at Blacksand Castle. Wyrnessin said.

Governor Royalwing couldnt help but grin.

Stuart, Ill be leaving now. Wyrnessin informed him.

Governor Royalwing nodded slightly.

Wyrnessin then stared once more at that Loysius. Kid, I told you. You will regret itvery, very much. And then, he led Loysius and his forces into the metallic lifeform and left at high speed.

That young fellow has fallen into Wyrnessins clutches. Hes in for a tragedy. Governor Royalwing let out a sigh.

Seven Laws, Four Edicts. Amongst these, the most sinister and one most capable of tormenting others was the Edicts of Death. And in turn, experts on the level of Wyrnessin were capable of truly terrifying tricks.

We finally made it back to Royalwing City alive. Linley, Delia, and Bebe stood on the streets of Royalwing City, momentarily not sure whether they should laugh or to cry. This sort of fluctuation between life and death truly made ones heart tremble.

Linley, this time, I truly was scared to death. Delia revealed a smile at this moment.

Bebe pursed his lips. That old man Wyrnessin really went too far. But, alas, it seems hes really powerful. Grandpa Beirut isnt here either. If he was here, everything would be fine.

Linley took Delia by the hand. Lets go. Well go to the Fiend Castle! Turning in the moon rings would make Linley and the others One Star Fiends.

Immediately, Linley, Bebe, and Delia headed straight towards the Fiend Castle.
