Chapter 820: Can You Blame Me?
The effects of sacrificing Divine Demon Beast Blood was definitely stronger than sacrificing a normal demon beast’s blood. However, it was still a temporary loss that could be recovered in the future. As for Fikin, he was sacrificing his Soul Power forever, so it naturally displayed a strength higher than their bloodline sacrifices.
Nevertheless, three Divine Demon Beasts were up against a single Zasfin, with all of them burning their bloodlines, resulting in another stalemate. Besides, Phex’s group could keep burning their bloodlines for much longer than Fikin’s Soul Power was able to. If things continued like that, Fikin was bound to die.
All of these events took some time to explain, but in the real world, no more than three or four seconds had passed yet. The Zasfins that retreated saw the situation Fikin had found himself in and tried to head back to give support. However, that wasn’t possible since their own opponents had already recovered. They couldn’t kill the Zasfins easily, but they could definitely hold them back.
Fikin was seething with rage inside. Unfortunately, he could feel his Soul Power becoming dry as it fueled his temporary strength. He thought that he could at least send one of the Divine Demon Beasts down with that sacrifice before using the rest of his time to run. Obviously, that became an improbable task with all his attacks locked in place. Even running away seemed impossible.
It was then that that Phex, Frin, and Xaon received a Spiritual Sense Message from Fikin. ‘Remember this! I’ll definitely make you pay for today’s events.’
Phex’s group narrowed their eyes, ignoring their injuries and burning their bloodlines. The way Fikin talked seemed like he could escape, although they couldn’t see how he would do such a thing.
Suddenly, Fikin reached inside his bag before taking a silver bead from inside it. No one, even the Zasfins watching with their Spiritual Senses, could tell what that bead was. Well, it didn’t take long before they found out, though.
Fikin infused his Spiritual Energy into the bead, which immediately shone with silver light…
“This…” Phex and the others immediately understood what was happening. “It’s the same power when we use Teleport Formations!”
That was correct. The bead had Spatial Powers. Not only that, everyone could tell that the power of the bead was countless times stronger than any common teleport formation. Even the best Teleport Formation on the planet wouldn’t be able to generate that many spatial fluctuations. One must remember that the formations of this world were worse than Sunkan, so they couldn’t teleport that far to start with.
Suddenly, the silver light enveloped Fikin as he used his Spiritual Sense to send a message to the other Zasfins. ‘Retreat into the formation. Don’t let the demon beasts hold you down.’ In the very next second, Frin, Xaon, and Phex’s attacks broke through Fikin’s World Destruction Blast.
Unfortunately, there was no one else there anymore. Fikin had completely disappeared.
“Fuck!” Phex cursed out loud, not believing he had let such a huge opportunity pass up.
Xaon arrived by his side and shook his head, saying, “It’s fine. We failed to kill him, but we forced Fikin to sacrifice his Soul Power forever. When we see him next time, he won’t be nearly as strong as he was before. Besides, his injuries are so serious that it would take him many days to recover, even with their best pills and treasures.”
Frin agreed with Xaon as he looked in the direction the Zasfins fled. “Let’s end it here for now. If we force our way into the formations they set up, the ones who might lose in the end might be us.”
Phex sighed in response and nodded. “Fine! Tell the Stage Nine Demon Beasts to switch targets. We’re helping the army take control over the Freten and Gargoc Regions. The Humk Region has already been conquered by the black-haired brat, so there’s no need to go after it.”
Lie, one of the Stage Nine Demon Beasts, couldn’t help but ask, “What about the Aite and Wesdin Regions? Without the Zasfin ancestors, we should be able to use our superior cultivation to conquer the countries around those regions as well.”
Xaon immediately shook his head as he replied, “Those two regions have too many Zasfins, and our demon beast army has been on the backfoot all this time, not being able to get any advantage at all. Leave it aside and focus on the Freten and Gargoc Regions for the moment.”
Frin also added, “If you have any serious injures, there’s no need to go. Come back with us and let Rean heal your injuries first. The Zasfin ancestors won’t bother them anymore. Instead, they’ll make sure to keep the Aite and Wesdin Regions for them.”
The Stage Nine Demon Beasts nodded in response and quickly departed. As for Phex and the others, they looked one last time in the Zasfins’ direction before they left as well. Obviously, they returned where Rean and Roan were.
However, just as they arrived there, they noticed that someone was fighting there. ‘What’s happening there?’
They increased their speed and finally saw what was happening.
*Ouch! Ouch!*
“It hurts! Stop it!”
“Stop it, your ass! Where the hell have you been until now?”
It wasn’t exactly a battle…but instead, a certain Demon Bird was receiving a beating.
Roan seemed quite angry as he fought Kentucky. The war had been going on for such a long time, but Kentucky hadn’t appeared until now. Naturally, that annoyed Roan very much.
Well, even if one says beating, the fact was that Kentucky wasn’t much weaker than Roan, so he was able to hold him back. It’s just that he never succeeded in hitting Roan back as Roan could see all his movements.
Rean looked at Phex and the others and bitterly smiled, telling them, “Ahem…they are just… training. Yes, that’s all.”
Phex’s mouth twitched in response as he muttered inwardly, ‘If that is training, I don’t want to see what a beating really is.’
Seeing that Phex came back, Roan finally stopped, much to Kentucky’s relief. “I’ll make you work ten times more during the next few days to compensate for the time you stayed out.”
Kentucky felt like crying. ‘I just got a little too comfy in my nest…and in the arms of the girls of the sect. Can you blame me because of that?’
Fortunately, he didn’t say that aloud, or even Rean would have joined in to give the bird a beating.
