Chapter 976 Ball (6)



The moment that the powerful light bloomed from the orbs, there was also a powerful aura that appeared.

It was different from the aura that the two assassins had before. It was even different from the aura of the Ruler Artifact.

This feeling was like…the descent of an actual Ruler.

As the powerful light became brighter and brighter, it built up to an explosion of light.

However, this light wasn't just normal light, it was a light that was completely black.

It was even blacker than the dark of the night, so dark that it seemed to draw everything in.

At the very center of it was a figure that looked like a human figure, but on the back of this figure was a pair of wings and on its head were a pair of horns.

After this figure appeared, the first thing that it did was turn back to look at the two assassins that were standing there. Both of the assassins looked like they were completely drained of all energy as they stood there.

They just blankly looked at the figure, as if they already knew what was going to happen, so they accepted it.

The figure raised its hands and then…it suddenly stabbed them into the chests of the two assassins.

The two assassins didn't show any emotions when they died, they just accepted it for what it was.

As the figure had its hands through the chests of the assassins, the blood that dripped out swirled around the figure's hands and entered the figure's body. This continued until there wasn't a single drop of blood left in the bodies of the assassins.

Once they had been completely drained, the figure threw the assassins onto the ground like it was nothing.

The withered bodies of the assassins looked completely different from when they were alive. It was like every bit of moisture had been drained from their bodies before they had died.

Once it was done with draining the blood of these two assassins, the figure turned to look at Lin Fan's group.

When it looked over, Lin Fan was able to see it clearly.

The only thing that Lin Fan could think was…demon.

That was what this thing was.

It was part of the Demon Race, one of the Myriad Races.

These demons were like humans in every aspect, but they had these wings and horns on their bodies. As well, the demons had a natural affinity for darkness laws, so they were able to wield great power.

Most of them were able to reach the World Realm just by reaching maturity.

But this power came with a price.

This strong affinity for darkness laws meant that they were too powerful to reproduce quickly, so they always had a small population.

At the same time…their physique required them to hunt for the blood of other creatures to sustain them. They could make do with beasts and such, but the best food for them was human blood.

They didn't know what it was about human blood that did it, but a single drop of human blood was considered greater than all the blood in a powerful demon beast. So they preyed on humans and were regarded as a natural enemy by humans.

This demon that had been summoned by these two assassins, the blood that it had drained was clearly the price of summoning it.

This summoning was clearly a last resort kamikaze trump card.

It was to summon this demon and let it destroy their enemies without care of who suffered.

Now that the demon had been summoned, there was only destruction that followed.

The demon was also checking out Lin Fan's group while Lin Fan checked it out.

After staring at them for a bit, it suddenly revealed a smile and said, "It's been a while since I've seen such prime prey." It narrowed its eyes to look at Lin Fan before saying, "You…There's such a delicious taste coming from you."

Lin Fan and the rest were all surprised to hear this from the demon, but they didn't let their guard down.

Lin Fan immediately summoned out his pets and spread them all around him, but he wasn't certain that he would be able to stop this demon like this.

That was until Momonga told him, "This demon isn't a Ruler. It's very close, so I don't blame you for being mistaken, but it's still in the World Realm. It's just a sliver away from finishing its world and entering the Dao Realm."

Lin Fan looked carefully at the demon and found that it was indeed like this.

This gave him the confidence to fight this demon.

After all, he had a Ruler Artifact and several Peak Sun Realm Pets, so he should be able to stop it even if he wasn't able to win.

As for letting those three take care of it, that was out of the question.

People should have felt the tremors from the demon being summoned, so there should be people heading here soon.

He would just need to stall it until they came.

The demon waved his hand and there were thorns of dark energy that appeared in the air.

Lin Fan immediately raised the compass and there was an even larger barrier that appeared around them.

The demon narrowed his eyes when he saw this, but he still waved his hand to send out the thorns of dark energy. As expected though, the thorns of dark energy were immediately whittled away when they touched the barrier.

The demon didn't mind this since he had already expected it. He flapped his wings and immediately appeared behind Lin Fan, sending out even more thorns of dark energy at the barrier.

But at the same time, he dropped to the ground and slapped his hand on the ground.

Nothing happened in the end.

The demon looked at the ground under Lin Fan and could see the traces of dark energy there. He instantly understood what happened.

He thought that he could sneak the dark energy under Lin Fan since most barriers didn't block from beneath, but it seemed like it wouldn't work.

Still, the demon wasn't discouraged since he knew that there were plenty of other things that could be done.

This was a barrier that had been created with an artifact instead of one's own power, so it wouldn't last forever. As long as he kept bombarding the barrier with his attacks, it would eventually crumble as the artifact would run out of energy, or the user ran out of energy to maintain it.

The only thing that was concerning was what happened to the thorns of dark energy as they hit the barrier.

They just seemed to disappear into nothing.

It was as if something was swallowing them.

As far as he knew, there shouldn't be a law that could do something like this…

But then again, this demon didn't know that much since he was just a young one. That was the only reason why the humans were able to make a contract with it since it had been caught by the humans.

However, if it could absorb the blood of this delicious prey…it was certain that it would be able to evolve and become a true demon.

Then it would no longer be restrained by the humans.

So without hesitation, the demon gathered up even more thorns of dark energy and started shooting them at the barrier.

But every single time, the barrier just absorbed all of the energy.

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a smile when he saw this.

The special thing about this compass was that as a Ruler Artifact made with void laws, it was able to use the specialty of void laws. Which was that it was able to absorb anything that hit it.

This gave the compass the ability to assimilate any laws that it absorbed, just like with Lin Fan's void laws.

It would only be at its weakest when it was first made, but as it absorbed more and more laws…it would only become stronger and stronger.

And right now, the compass was having a buffet of darkness laws from this demon.

At the same time, the compass would never run out of energy as long as more and more of these thorns of dark energy hit it, it would just keep gaining more and more energy to form the barrier.

So the plan that the demon had wouldn't work at all.

After a few minutes of bombarding the barrier and seeing that it wasn't going down, the demon started feeling a bit worried.

This wasn't going the way that he had thought at all…

He knew that if he stalled for too long, it would be bad for him.

After all, he could tell that this was somewhere in the human society and he was surrounded by humans.

The summon for him was to take care of these people in front of him and unless he did, he wouldn't be able to leave.

If he couldn't leave, then he would be surrounded by humans and killed.

So he had to crack the barrier somehow and take care of them.

Finally, the demon stopped throwing these thorns of dark energy at the barrier and put his hands together to gather a ball of dark energy.

Lin Fan and the rest could all tell that this ball of dark energy wasn't normal.

This was the demon's final attack.

He was going to use its strongest attack on the barrier and see if he could break through it.

He didn't use it before because this would drain him of all of his energy, but he didn't have a choice now.

So once this ball of dark energy was gathered, he pointed his hand out as if he was about to shoot it.
