One after one, Zach hunted each and every demon. It wasn't long before they had realized that they had nowhere to go.
No matter how far they ran or flew, thousands of fire-weapons killed them all.
At fast speed, the weapons looked as though they were phoenix's feathers.
Even the demons watching from the crack to hell had stopped coming into the first realm, because they knew that they would die the moment they entered.
Among the hundreds of thousands of demons, there was a demon who was the most afraid. He was cowering while running, hoping Zach wouldn't find him.
That demon was none other than Dominic, who had realized that he messed with the wrong person.
Furthermore, he recognized who Zach was.
"Why… why… Why is 'her' kin here?! I thought their bloodline had gone extinct. I thought 'she' was the last of them!" Dominic muttered violently.
"If that man is true 'her' son, that that means he is the grandson of the—"
Out of a sudden, Dominic stopped running because he saw Zach standing in front of him. He was walking in the opposite directions of all the demons, looking deep into Dominic's soul.
If glares could kill, then Dominic would have died over a million times.
While the fire-weapons were still launching themselves and annihilating the demons. While Zach had gone to take care of Dominic personally.
When Zach was a few meters away from Dominic, he banged his head on the ground as though he was trying to surrender to Zach.
"Please forgive me, I didn't know you were the—"
Before Dominic could even growl properly, Zach cleaved him into pieces using a fire sword made from his fire-arm.
"I missed the part where that's my problem…" Zach uttered in a disdainful tone.
One would have thought everything had ended since the third and the last archdemon had been slain by Zach. However, that was just the start of the massacre.
Once Zach had taken care of the big enemies, he hunted down the small ones. He killed and killed without stopping or caring for anyone.
Luckily, all the players and NPC had already been evacuated by Victoria and Aria.
After making sure everyone was safe, Aria rushed to Zach and tried to stop him, but Zach wasn't himself. He was lost in rage.
Aria had realized that long ago ever since she saw him summon the 'phoenix's rage' and borrowed her powers to conjure the portals with thousands of swords at once.
Zach normally wouldn't have been able to do that under any circumstances because his body still wasn't qualified to use phoenix's powers. But he had already received the sigil from Phoenix. Furthermore, the gloves once belonged to Xie Lua— the phoenix.
'I have to stop him otherwise, he won't stop until he destroys everything. But how?' Aria asked herself.
'The only person who can stop him in this state is Aurora, but Aurora's current condition is beyond functional.'
Aria had a faint idea, but she wasn't sure about it.
'If it didn't work, then he might also end up attacking me…'
Of course, Aria wasn't afraid of getting hurt by Zach, but she was afraid that Zach would feel guilty about hurting Aria when he got back to his senses.
However, Aria had no choice but to take the risk.
She dished her head onto Zach and tackled him down. But, Zach stood up a second later and pushed Aria to the side.
However, Aria pulled him close to her and sealed his lips with her lips. She kissed him and kept kissing him until his eyes went back to normal.
That was the first sign that her plan was working. Soon, Zach's hair went back to normal, and then his arms.
Still, Aria didn't stop kissing him. She was waiting for Zach to kiss her back, and only then she would stop kissing him.
The weapons' portals vanished from the sky and the clouds scattered in the sky, revealing the crack to hell, once again.
Aria wrapped her arms around Zach's neck and kissed him aggressively until Zach began to kiss her back.
Then, she stopped kissing him and looked into his eyes as though she was waiting for Zach to do something.
"I would appreciate it if you don't kiss me like this in public," Zach scoffed. He glanced around and said, "Especially when we are standing between the corpses of players, NPCs, and demons."
Aria's lips trembled as she sighed in relief. She looked at him with teary eyes and said, "I was so worried! What happened to you suddenly? What was that move you used? Is that your new skill or something? And it was extremely overpowered!"
Zach looked at his glove on his right hand and said, "I don't know, but I think it was related to phoenix. I could feel the rage burning inside me. And…"
Zach stopped and lowered his gaze with a sad look on his face.
"And…?" Aria asked with a curious look on her face.
"I heard a voice…" Zach muttered.
"Whose voice?"
"I think it was Xie Lua's voice…" Zach uttered in a low voice.
"Hmm? Who is that?" Aria wondered with a puzzled yet curious look on her face.
"Uhh… you have never been to a magic shop?" Zach asked with a surprised look on his face.
After a brief silence, Aria hesitantly asked, "What is a magic shop?"
Zach stared at Aria and sighed as he shook his head in disbelief.
"What…? I don't know anything about this game. I mean…" Aria shrugged her shoulders and said, "I cheated my way to enter in this game."
Zach raised his brow with a confused yet curious look on his face and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Aurora had told me that you all got transported into this game because you tried to play a VR game, right?"
Zach nodded in reply.
