Chapter 1632 - 1632. Teachings

The leader of the Foolery gave voice to a proud squeal. Its aura spread through the region and announced to the audience its new power.

The magical beast had succeeded in the breakthrough to the middle tier while the experts were busy with the tournament. Its power was quite breathtaking, and even Noah had to admit that it went far beyond specimens at the same level.

"I won't remain behind!" The Foolery shouted while the battlefield was silent.

Noah and the others remained speechless at that announcement. They had never considered bringing a magical beast in the mission, but the Foolery seemed to have a different idea about the matter.

Still, the situation didn't allow them to linger on that issue. The Foolery had flung Divine Demon away, but the world was still giving him energy. That alone explained that the expert had yet to regain complete control of his mind.

"Elbas, give me a reason not to kill him!" Noah shouted while dispersing his draconic armor and making his ambition flow into his companions.

"I have something that might work," King Elbas said. "I'm not completely in control of this technique, but it should be perfect for Divine Demon."

"Perfect!" Noah shouted again. "We aim to kill him if Elbas' technique fails. Prepare yourselves to say goodbye to your friend."

Wilfred, Luke, Fergie, and the Foolery wore stern expressions at that order. They knew that Noah was right, but they still had to muster their determination.

It was hard to kill a friend who had been with them for millennia, especially when he wasn't guilty of any major crime. Divine Demon had only gone berserk, but that alone was a threat that the whole Legion couldn't underestimate.

A figure soon appeared in the distance. Divine Demon had regained his monstrous shape, and a massive wave of azure energy was rotating behind him.

The pressure generated by his figure was immense. Noah and the others almost struggled to keep their consciousness unfolded. Divine Demon's aura was so intense that their mental waves shattered whenever they entered his range.

"What's the plan?" Luke asked while joining his fingers to create a dense rotating sphere between his palms.

"Launch your best attacks," Noah ordered. "Divine Demon will survive, but we must weaken him enough to give Elbas a chance. Don't even try to hold back."

"A true expert never holds back!" The Foolery shouted.

Noah glanced toward the magical beast before focusing on Divine Demon again. He had felt the urge to have a proper conversation with the creature, but that wasn't the right situation.

Divine Demon ignored that conversation. The faint awareness that he had regained during the previous exchanges had vanished after he became able to affect the world again.

The expert couldn't even speak proper words. He only let out grunts and growls as if he were a hungry beast.

Noah was the first to attack. His Demonic Sword and sword-shaped roots touched his forehead, and sharpness spread through his consciousness.

Snore unleashed the full power of its feathers, and Duanlong opened its mouth to prepare for the azure energy. Night followed the snake's attack and fused with the world to exploit the moment of weakness generated by their explosions.

Wilfred closed his eyes before joining his palms. Power built around him before dispersing all of a sudden. The space in front of him bent, and an invisible attack shot forward.

Luke launched his rotating sphere, which expanded until it transformed into a storm that converged toward Divine Demon. Part of his influence removed the expert's aura from the azure energy and made it disperse into the world.

Fergie created a small version of his sun and threw it forward. The fiery sphere released massive flares far bigger than its actual structure, but the attack didn't lose power while flying toward Divine Demon.

The Foolery almost teleported at the edges of the churning azure energy and began to eat. The creature devoured anything that carried Divine Demon's aura at an unbelievable speed. It didn't even seem to care about the destructive power contained in that substance.

The attacks converged toward Divine Demon and gave birth to a massive explosion. Multiple techniques detonated on the expert and destroyed the azure energy acc.u.mulated through his law.

The whiteness of the sky vanished for a few seconds as those attacks discharged their might. The various powers in those techniques could suppress that light and fill the area with a multicolored radiance.

The aftermath of the explosions eventually vanished. The grey smoke that had filled the horizon dispersed and revealed the outcome of the exchange.

The azure aura had vanished, and Divine Demon's body was on the ground. Countless injuries covered his skin. Any expert would die after suffering so many wounds.

However, the world couldn't let Divine Demon die. Cracks opened through the sky and revealed black spaces among their edges as their energy transformed into azure power.

The energy flew toward Divine Demon and flowed inside his body. His injuries quickly healed, and his aura soon began to fill the region again.

'How can we even defeat something like this?' Noah wondered in his mind.

Divine Demon's power made no sense. The expert could do everything since he had the backing of the whole world. He seemed almost unbeatable by existences at the same level.

Noah glanced toward King Elbas and found that the cultivator had long since stopped waving his hands. The expert had his eyes closed and his arms lowered. His consciousness didn't even inspect the battlefield.

Noah could recognize when someone was gathering his power to unleash a trump card. King Elbas wasn't even the type to retreat, so Noah could feel at ease.

His instincts had also started to feel something unusual. King Elbas wasn't using his usual power. He was relying on something entirely different, and Noah couldn't help but feel curious about that.

Divine Demon slowly rose in the sky again, but King Elbas suddenly opened his eyes. His hands remained still, but a strange aura came out of his figure and began to affect the world.

The aura locked on Divine Demon before giving the world a purpose. The air then generated dark-blue inscriptions that gave birth to multiple formations. Those techniques flew toward Divine Demon and began to devour his aura.

The azure energy that had started to gather around Divine Demon shattered when the formations converged on his position. His aura also stopped spreading through the world and began to flow back into his figure.

King Elbas had created the perfect counter to Divine Demon's law. His new formations could remove the expert's aura from the "Breath" and force it to retreat. They even affected the energy inside his body.

A golden halo started to shine from the dark-blue formations once they neared Divine Demon's body. Their power increased even if they didn't draw energy from the world. They seemed attracted by Divine Demon's law.

"We will have to free him as soon as he regains consciousness," King Elbas explained. "These formations are too curious to stop. They will suck him dry if we don't break them."

"I see that you followed my teachings!" Noah shouted when he noticed that King Elbas was using a power suitable for the path toward the ninth rank.

"Shut up," King Elbas snorted before nearing Divine Demon.

The expert couldn't do anything against those formations. King Elbas had created a trump card that could counter his very existence. The expert ended up entangled in those dark-blue lines in no time.
