Chapter 1992 Flapping Wings
Chapter 1992 Flapping Wings
‘Demising Light Arrows!’
Suddenly, countless arrows of light that seemed to be mixed with Dark Element began to attack Malado from all sides. Each arrow wasn’t that powerful, especially since the concentration of Light Element was lower in the Underworld. Nevertheless, Malado was fighting Tapir as well. Tapir, Malado, and the newcomer were all High Devils, so Malado immediately found himself at a disadvantage.
‘Soul Dark Shield!’
Malado’s move quickly released huge amounts of Living Soul Power and Dark Element. Yes, just like the devils Rean and Roan killed in the Realm of Gods, Malado was also using the power of the living souls he had consumed.
*Bang, bang, bang…*
“Losferu!” Tapir was happy to see the Light Devil. “Why are you here?”
Back in the Light Devil Clan, Rui had entrusted Losferu with the task of following Tapir and the others to make sure they were safe. “It was the clan master. He had a bad feeling about this trip, so he sent me after you.”
Tapir then flew to Fagund’s side to make sure he was safe. Even if the twins could win the contest two years later, Fagund was still considered the future of the Light Devil Clan.
Malado, having been forced to distance himself from Tapir and Losferu, didn’t seem that worried. “Oh! So you did have someone else. Well, I guess that makes sense. You knew those two devils could possibly win the next contest, so you sent more of your members to protect them.”
Tapir glanced at the twins for a moment in response. The protection was not for the twins at all, but Tapir and Losferu definitely wouldn’t correct Malado. If anything, they would be happy to sacrifice the twins if that meant they could keep Fagund safe.
Tapir used his Divine Sense to communicate with Losferu straight away. ‘Losferu, keep him busy while I leave with the young master. Can you do that?’
Losferu didn’t mind and simply nodded. ‘Go!’
‘World Reinvigoration!’
Even more Light Element and Spatial Power gathered before Losferu shot in Malado’s direction. With his own domain and Tapir’s domain, his power matched Malado for the time being, which was enough.
Malado obviously didn’t stay still and retaliated with all his power.
Using that chance, Tapir grabbed the twins and the others with his Divine Energy. He didn’t want to stay there for even a second.
“Where do you think you’re going?”

Unfortunately for him, Malado wasn’t the only devil waiting to ambush them. As soon as Tapir tried to leave the area, another High Devil attacked from within space.
Tapir wasn’t an idiot, though. Killing a High Devil was too hard, and the Mephisto Clan had to hide the fact that they attacked. With that, he was sure that Malado wasn’t the only devil. “There you are!”
‘Fallen Angel Wings!’
Four angel wings appeared on Tapir’s back as his speed increased greatly. Just like Fagund and Rui, his wings had a few dark feathers on them. With great agility, he quickly dodged the attack with his own Spatial Power, seemingly boosted by the feather wings on his back.
‘Death Spatial Closure!’
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only devil Tapir had to deal with. The space around Tapir’s own domain seemed to be closing in, reducing Tapir’s speed. ‘Fuck!’
Without thinking twice, Tapir changed directions, narrowly avoiding another attack from the first devil. Only then was he able to see the two new High Devils in front of him. “Lacki and Yufibe! Your Mephisto Clan seems to be dead set on breaking the rules, huh?”
“If that means we can keep the Underworld Relic for a thousand more years, that won’t be a problem. Especially since no one will be able to tell that it was us who did it.” Neither Lacki nor Yufibe seemed worried at all.
“So the rumors were true.” Tapir remembered a few events from the past Underworld Relic competitions. “It was also the Mephisto Clan’s High Devils that intervened last time. No wonder you could keep the Relic for over two thousand years.”
At the same time, Tapir talked to the twins. ‘Things are getting even more complicated. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are even more High Devils hidden around. So, I will repeat myself once again. Can you escape with Fagund or not?’
Rean and Roan looked at each other for a moment and talked through their Soul Connection. ‘What do you think? These guys seem dead set on killing both of us.’
Roan nodded. ‘We caught too much attention in the Path of Reincarnation’s periphery. Unfortunately, the space is scrambled. If we try to escape with the Circuitry Teleport Formation, we will have to rely on luck not to die, and we don’t know where we’ll end up.’
Rean pondered over it for a bit, eventually shrugging his shoulders. ‘Well, better to have Tapir escaping this place with us under his wings, then.’
‘I think the same.’ Roan agreed with Rean on that.
With that, Rean touched Tapir’s back before using his Divine Sense to answer him. ‘Nice angel wings you have here. Let’s see them flap a little faster.’
‘Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!’
Immediately, Tapir felt his body brimming with energy. His wings, especially, never felt so vivid before, screaming in excitement at whatever was providing them with all that power. After all, they only appeared when he summoned them. But this time, they would definitely come out on their own, even if he didn’t do that.
‘This…’
Tapir was shocked by the amount of Light Element and obviously what that Light Element was doing to his body. The most impressive part was that Rean didn’t seem to be doing anything at all. Well, that was how the Enhancement skill worked. The stronger the body, the stronger the result.
Tapir immediately understood that this was his only chance. His four wings seemed to tremble for an instant before he flew out of Lacki and Yufibe’s range.
“What?!”
Those two devils couldn’t believe it. Their domains were active, but Tapir could still fly so much faster than them.
Tapir grew excited, not caring about how Rean did that at the moment. “Hold on!”
Too bad that Rean was smiling bitterly. ‘You better fly fast, Senior Tapir. Your cultivation is just too high for me. I won’t be able to keep my Enhancement skill for long.’
