Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

The Devil Lords saw with horror as a silvery red domain cover their bodies along with half of the dimension whose size could rival a continent.

The red fog that neither Zatiel nor the rest of the Devil Lord could do anything about was vanquished under the domain's might, making the Blood Duke's figure visible for everybody. 

The Rank 6 Devil Lord had severe injuries, and some were so deep that you could see the bone. His energy was acting erratically due to the many deadly forces that had infected his body. The damage in his consciousness had weakened his spiritual defenses, pushing him back to a deranged state. 

Despite all that, the Blood Duke resembled a Law Overlord as the laws, and universal forces were under his control. 

He took his rightful position as the core of the silvery red domain and stared at the Devil Lords with bloodlust.

Hopelessness invaded the Devil Lords' hearts as they felt the silvery red domain's power and the incredible might that the Blood Duke expressed inside it. Even though they were just a couple of minutes away from the portal, none of them believed they could make it alive now.

The reason for the Devil Lords' despair was that they recognized the ability the Blood Duke had unleashed.

It was a Law Domain. 

That ability depended on the strength of an individual's soul and his law comprehension. It was very hard to deploy, and even more with a chaotic mind. 

The only explanation that came to Zatiel's mind was that the last attack had pushed the Blood Duke so close to death that he was able to regain his sanity for a second before losing it again. 

Unfortunately, that second was enough to unleash the Law Domain. Now it would not vanish until the Blood Duke's Soul Origin depleted, or he chose to deactivate it.

This world-breaker power had two primary skills, Sentience Origin and Law Realm.

Everybody was already under the Law Realm's effect. This skill improved every aspect of the Blood Duke's existence while suppressing that of his enemies. 

Law Realm also heightened the power of the Blood Duke's laws and, at the same time, restrained all the others. 

Every Devil Marquises felt their battle power diminishing by a third and how the domain nullified their Sacred Body of Laws' unique aptitudes.

The effect of Law Realm was even more significant in the Devil Counts. They were having a hard time just enduring the domain's pressure.

The Blood Duke smiled as he attacked every single Devil Lord at the same time. He focused on a location one thousand three hundred and twenty-four meters to his left and sent exactly nine giant blood palm prints. 

Before, he could not see it, but now the Blood Duke perceived the nine Devil Counts hiding in Severian's darkness pocket dimension with perfect clarity. 

The instant he finished firing those palm prints, the Rank 6 Devil Lord made six spears made of his blood appear in front of him.

Every one of these spears had the power of a blood world and released hundreds of sonic booms the moment they shot to the Devil Marquises.

Every single one of the palm prints and blood spears carried an immense amount of energy. Trying to control all of them simultaneously was impossible even for a Rank 6 life form.

Usually, the energy of an individual would be lifeless. Without your thoughts controlling the energy that formed the spells, their destructive might would be greatly diminished, not to mention they would be very easy to dodge.

However, things changed when someone used Sentience Origin. That skill granted life and intelligence to your energy. 

After having fired your spells and infusing an intent in them, you no longer needed to focus on them. They would split apart into smaller versions to overcome obstacles, hunt down their prey without rest, search for the weak points in the enemy defenses and exploit them. 

In essence, someone capable of using Sentience Origin could grant their spells infinite transformations that would make them impossible to defend. That was precisely the power that the palm prints and spears carried as they attacked the Devil Lords.

Severian's face filled with resolution as he saw the blood palm prints nearing him. He immediately threw the Devil Counts out of the darkness pocket dimension. That put his comrades in great danger, but he couldn't care less about them when his survival was at stake.

The Shadow Frog pushed his Law of Darkness to the limit. He reduced the darkness pocket dimension's size, enhancing its strength while devouring as much energy as possible and gathering all in his right arm.

One of the Blood Duke's nine blood palm prints struck Severian. The spell was able to pierce into the darkness dimension, but the laws in it nullified some of its strength. 

The Shadow Frog made his energy pool explode and burned his life force before striking the giant blood palm print.

Due to his Law of Darkness reaching the Minor Completion level, Severian's battle power equaled that of a Devil Marquess. Still, even employing his whole strength and burning his life force, the palm print overpowered him. His arm exploded the moment it collided with the spell. The impact pushed him away while coughing blood. 

The condition of the other Devil Counts was much worse. All those at the 2nd Engraving Stage had their bodies and souls shattered. The rest was able to stop their bodies from exploding, but they fell to the ground like asteroids, and they were no longer able to continue fighting. 

The Devil Marquises did not have time to care for the Devil Counts since they had to respond to the spears carrying a blood world's might.

The Blood Duke had charged every single spear with an immense amount of energy. They were incredibly fast and rotate with such intensity that they seem capable of piercing a world.

The Devil Marquises used all the energy they had left and burned even more of their life force to fight back against those spears.

The defensive spells they were able to deploy were impressive, but the spears' might was too great. All of them managed to strike their targets, and they shared their creator's vicious nature.

Once the spear pierced their target, they exploded inside the Devil Marquess body, firing hundreds of blood spikes.

Although they were severely injured, most of the Devil Marquises were able to survive. The only casualty was the humanoid made of green fire. The Blood Duke's fist had already harmed the Devil Marquess, and the spear was more than he could handle. 

Before the Blood Duke unleashed his Law Domain and used Sentience Origin and Law Realm, the Devil Lords could at least put up a fight.

However, now the Blood Duke was able to defeat all the Devil Lords with a single move. 

The only one who was still able to fight was Blood Child. He managed to neutralize the blood spear sent to him but had almost emptied his energy pool.

The Rank 6 Devil Lord stared at Blood Child with a smile on his face and savagism in his eyes. Even though he was crazy, he could identify the one who had harmed him the most. 

Blood Child did not hesitate even for a fraction of a second and began to burn his soul as he ran away.

The Blood Duke's body erupted with power and chased after his prey. Since he was the core of the domain, this one moved with him.

The Runic Spirit's speed reached an extraordinary level since he burned his soul. Unfortunately, the power of Law Realm made it impossible for him to leave the Blood Duke behind.

Blood Child had run for less than twenty seconds when a mighty hand grabbed the back of his head.

The Blood Duke wanted to see the terror in Blood Child and turned him around. However, the only thing the Runic Spirit showed was a smile.

His opponent's behavior confused the Blood Duke and delayed his reaction for a second. 

Blood Child did not lose that opportunity and burned what little remained of his soul to increase his strength for one last effort. 

He grabbed the Rank 6 Devil Lord's chest and rotated their positions. After putting him in the correct place, he detonated his soul, body, and energy without hesitation.

Blood Child's self-destruction took the Blood Duke by surprise. Luckily for the Rank 6 Devil Lord, the Runic Spirit did not have much fuel, so the explosion did not harm him too much and just sent him flying away.

The confusion in the Blood Duke's face grew larger since Blood Child's actions didn't make sense. The rage in his mind soon replaced all unnecessary thoughts, and was about to finish the Devil Lords when he noticed something. 

The Blood Duke turned around and saw two portals. One showed a charred humanoid while the other had a Pit Fiend.

"ROAR!" The Blood Duke released a roar full of rage and might before flashing to the two Rank 6 Devil Lords.

Like that, the battle between three powerful Soul Law Domain existences that would level the continent started.
