Valtair came out of a small pond which was filled with shadow energy.
The Shadow energy was churning inside the pond, and compared to the power of Evan’s current shadow energy, the energy waves emanating from the pond were hundreds of times more powerful.
“It took longer than I expected.” said Valtair, looking at the black pond, “The power of the shadow energy inside the pond is way lower than I imagined.”
“At this rate, in just a few years the shadow energy pond will lose its effect,” Valtair muttered and started to walk away from the pond. “I wonder when will master come back.”
Soon Valtair came out of the black castle and saw Anastasia sitting at the top of it.
Looking at Anastasia, he remembered her smile when she had woken him up, and his hair stood up to no end even though there was not a single hair on his body.
Anastasia looked down from the castle and seeing how Valtair was looking at her, her eyes turned frosty.
She came down from the top of the castle and analyzed his body.
“The power of shadow energy pond decreased?”
“Yeah, it is way lower than before.” Valtair nodded his head.
Anastasia just sighed inwardly and waved her hand, a screen showing the entrance of the shadow realm appeared before them.
Many different kinds of demons were attacking the entrance of the shadow realm.
There were night demons, fire demons, blood demons and many more.
“Most of these demons are no match for you.” Anastasia said, “But their leader is not weak.”
Anastasia showed Malphasar who was standing at the back of the demons.
“Someone from Corvallis race.” Valtair raised an eyebrow when he saw Malphasar. As a demon himself, he knew Corvallis is one of the weakest races among demons.
“I was also surprised when I saw him. You don’t have to worry about other demons since they are practically very weak to pose any threat to you, but be careful of him” Anastasia said looking at Malphasar, “Just like you, he is also on a ‘Disaster Level.”
“Do you think I will lose to him?” Valtair asked in an amused voice.
“I wish he will completely destroy you so that you won’t be able to act cheeky with Master when he will come back,” Anastasia said in a flat tone.
“Now that’s the wicked woman I know.” Valtair said while nodding his head in satisfaction, “Don’t try to act like a gentle person in front of me again, I would have died because of creepiness last time if not for the fact that I am already dead.”
“Why don’t I kill you for real?”
“Chill chill, I will show you something interesting later,” Valtair said with a smug expression on his round face.
“What interesting?” asked Anastasia, feeling strange looking at the smug smile on Valtair’s face.
“Didn’t you always say that I was wasting Master’s time by asking those questions?” Valtair said and looked at the entrance of the Shadow Realm, “I will show you today that I was not wasting his time.”
Anastasia was confused what he was talking about but she did not say anything.
“Are you ready?” She asked him.
“Just open the portal and let me out. It’s been a long time since I last enjoyed a slaughter fest.” Valtair said with a wide grin on his round face.
The cracks on his black body started to expand and steam started to come out of them. If someone looks closely, they will be able to see red lava flowing inside the cracks on his body.
Anastasia also smirked and waved her hand, materializing a black portal in front of Valtair.
‘It will be a good show’ Anastasia thought and looked at Valtair.
Valtair’s body was already covered in cracks and deep orange lava was flowing inside them.
Seeing the portal, Valtair stepped forward and put his hand inside it. The energy inside his body churned and a cold light flashed in his purple eyes.
“Molten Annihilation!” he said, and a disaster descend outside on demons.
Malphasar was standing some distance away from the entrance of the shadow realm, closely monitoring it.
There was a small frown on his crow-like face and he was scanning his surroundings using his powerful senses.
‘Why do I feel like someone is watching me for the past few days?’ Malphasar thought, increasing the range of his scanning area.
With his power, he easily scanned the area of thousands of kilometres, but even then he wasn’t able to find anything strange.
‘Am I thinking too much?’
“Lord, there is something wrong with the portal.” while Malphasar was thinking, a fire demon shouted.
Hearing something was wrong with the portal, he stopped thinking about everything and quickly looked there.
‘Is the seal of the shadow realm finally broken?’ Malphasar thought when he saw some ripples forming on the portal.
But that thought immediately vanished from his mind when he saw the world essence around the portal started to shake.
“What is happening?” Malphasar muttered and was about to go toward the portal when a black hand which was filled with lava cracks came out of it.
His instincts started roaring and he immediately flew up while screaming. “run away.”
When the other demons saw the black hand, they too were stunned and wanted to run away, but before they could, the black hand glowed with an ominous red light.
Just as the hand glowed with red light, a river of molten lava engulfed the landscape swallowing every demon who was present within the vicinity.
All the demons who could easily destroy the entire Arora world turned to ashes and disappeared from the world.
Even after all the demons turned to ashes, molten lava continued to surge forth from the outstretched black hand, cascading like a fiery river, consuming everything in its path. The ground trembled as the powerful skill ripped through hundreds of kilometres of lush forest, reducing ancient trees to mere ashes. Mountains shook as the scorching heat melted their majestic peaks.
Around one minute later, the black hand that came out of the portal once again returned to the portal.
But now the previously beautiful area that was full of forests and mountains has turned into an infernal land, and no demon other than Malphasar remained alive.
