Chapter 503: World Burning Witch

The Saint of the Church of Slaughter never felt so humiliated in his entire life.

Even when he was a child, begging and pickpocketing in the streets as the adults showed expressions of disgust when he was nearby, he did not feel as humiliated as now.

Back then, he was aware that he was worthless, and that his lack of strength was the reason others could step on his dignity.

But as he became stronger, he made sure that nobody could walk over him again.

In this world, strength was the rule, and the weak could only be at the mercy of the strong.

And because he was aware of that, he was so angry now.

Bloed, Liu Ying, Eres, and Elwha were weak. None of them was a demigod yet. To a demigod like him, they were nothing more than ants.

But these ants annihilated his army of monsters and injured him gravely.

The Saint of Slaughter could not accept it.

"I will kill you, brats!"

He growled, and countless nightmarish monsters surged out of his shadows.

At the same time, the monkey and wolf demigods took a step forward as their auras exerted pressure on Bloed's group.

Bloed, Liu Ying, and Eres felt as though a heavy weight was pressing them down. Even the unconscious Elwha let out a groan of pain.

"… I will take care of the Saint. Brother, Liu Ying, I leave the other two to you." Eres said heavily.

Bloed and Liu Ying nodded.

The next instant, the wolf, the monkey, and the shadow monsters rushed toward them.

"[Absolute Ignition]!" Eres shouted and rushed towards the shadow beasts as transparent flames burned around her, consuming the shadow beasts nearby. When the shadow beasts were destroyed, she kicked the ground and jumped towards the Saint of Slaughter while swinging her sword.

While using Absolute Ignition, Eres was comparable to a demigod. The Saint of Slaughter did not dare to underestimate her and released hundreds of shadow monsters that covered the sky and descended toward Eres.

The clash between the shadow monsters and the transparent flames was shocking. The transparent flames were like a candle in the night, trying to light up the darkness, and the shadow monsters were like a tsunami of darkness, trying to extinguish the flames.

Soon, it became apparent that the Saint of Slaughter had the advantage. Even though he was injured, he was noticeably stronger than Eres.

But Bloed did not have the leeway to pay attention to their battle. Right now, he had his hand fulls trying to deal with the two demigod beasts.

Unlike Eres, Bloed and Liu Ying could not show strength at the level of a demigod. Unless Bloed activated [Overdrive], he could only unleash the strength of an A-Rank. But activating Overdrive was Bloed's last resource.

Thus, he and Liu Yin were hard-pressed against the wolf and the monkey.

Fortunately, the wolf and the monkey received heavy injuries during the explosion of the nuclear bomb, otherwise, Bloed and Liu Ying would have been defeated almost instantly.

"Ha!" Liu Ying shouted. Her aspect appeared behind her, boosting her physical strength to a whole new level. At the same time, she converted her mana into kinetic energy to use [Silent Touch].

Clenching her fist, she threw an uppercut toward the monkey.

The vibrations caused by [Silent Touch] attacked the body of the monkey, but it blocked the uppercut with its tail and released a wave of mana, dispersing the vibrations. It had suffered due to Silent Touch when it first clashed with Liu Ying, so it was now wary of that technique.

After parrying Liu Ying's attack, the monkey's body flashed, appearing beside Liu Ying and attacking her with its claws.

Liu Ying crossed her arms, using a layer of kinetic energy to defend against the attack. Even so, a small cut appeared on her wrist.

She tried to counterattack, but the monkey's speed was very fast. It moved in the air quickly, flashing around Liu Ying as it attacked her with its claws once and again.

Just a few seconds after the battle started, Liu Ying had already been reduced to a punching bag.

Fortunately, Liu Ying's recent training with Regina had been fruitful, so her mastery over Silent Touch had increased greatly, allowing her to use it defensively. Thanks to that, and to the fact that the strength of the monkey had been reduced due to the injuries he received due to the explosion, she was hanging on despite the unceasing attacks.

Bloed's situation was a bit better, but not for much.

Unlike Liu Ying, he was using his mechanical eyes to observe, analyze, and predict the wolf's movements. Every time the wolf attacked, Bloed stepped slightly to the left or right, avoiding the attack with the smallest movements.

That made the wolf feel irritable. It was faster and stronger than Bloed, but none of its attacks could connect. It felt it was fighting against the air.

Anger appeared in its eyes. In the next instant, wind currents surrounded its body and its speed increased greatly.

The wolf was so fast that it appeared in front of Bloed in an instant.

But at that moment, Bloed's eyes flashed.

With a seemingly slow movement, his saber moved in front of the wolf. The wolf ignored it and continued attacking Bloed. It planned to kill him even if it had to receive Bloed's attack.

Anyway, Bloed's attack couldn't break through its defenses.

But in the next second, the wolf's expression changed.

Without hesitating, it jumped away as Bloed's saber sliced off a strand of its hair.

With a solemn expression, the wolf looked down at its neck.

There, a small cut had appeared.

If it would have reacted slower, Bloed's saber would have beheaded it.

Bloed sighed in his mind. He had not attacked until now, waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the wolf.

Unfortunately, the reaction of the wolf was faster than he expected. Even though it was caught by surprise, it managed to escape.

'What a pity.'

Now that the wolf knew that his saber could hurt it, it would be wary of it.

Just as Bloed expected, a trace of wariness appeared in the eyes of the wolf.

It looked at Bloed's saber fearfully, then, it looked at Bloed angrily.

But quickly, his expression changed to one of schadenfreude.

It distanced itself from Bloed. At the same time, dozens of wind arrows appeared around it and aimed them at Bloed.

'Fuck!'

In the next instant, the wind arrows flew towards Bloed.

Bloed quickly evaded them, but before he could sigh in relief, more wind arrows appeared around him, attacking him from all directions.

Bloed's expression became ugly.

He understood the wolf's intentions. It planned to use these wind arrows to slowly wear him down until killing him.

Bloed cursed in his mind. This was bad.

If the wolf used this tactic, then Bloed would be unable to retaliate. After all, long-range attacks were his weakness.

Even though he could use his energy guns to make up for it, they were useless against a demigod.

'Do I need to use Overdrive?'

When Bloed was thinking that, the situation on Eres's side changed.

From the Saint of Slaughter's shadow, more monsters appeared. The number of monsters was so overwhelming that Eres's transparent flames seemed unable to consume them. Slowly, her flames were being engulfed instead.

As the number of shadow monsters increased, the size of her transparent flames slowly decreased, until eventually, she could barely keep them around her.

At that moment, the Saint of Slaughter's expression became cruel.

"Die."

With an ice-cold tone, he clenched his hand, and the shadow monsters completely swallowed Eres.

But just when Bloed's expression changed and he was about to use Overdrive, Eres's transparent flames disappeared completely.

Then, she smiled.

Under the Saint of Slaughter's dumbfounded gaze, her entire body turned into transparent flames. Her flesh and bones disappeared, replaced by flames able to burn the world itself.

"Not yet." She spoke.

And transparent flames incinerated the shadow monsters around her.
