Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

The apparition of the Eye of Time surprised Zatiel, but that did not mean he lost focus. The moment the muscular devil stopped the death sword, his enhanced Rebirth Eye glowed and fired a full-power Soul Eradicator.

Zatiel had already charged the Mind Force needed for the attack, and the invisible force immediately reached the muscular devil, but something happened.

The red aura that enhanced the devil's physical power also worked as a shield against soul invasion spells. 

Soul Eradicator dissipated a tenth of the aura but did not manage to hurt the devil. 

'He came prepared to face me.' Zatiel instantly understood the muscular devil had studied his fighting style and employed countermeasures against his spells.

The momentum and power of the fist coming toward Zatiel's head were like that of a world-ending meteorite. Space broke around it, and the power of Time Essence withered everything in its path. 

Even after fusing with his Law Avatar and activating Symbiotic Armor, Zatiel knew the power of the fist would be too much for his defense. It will severely injure him and leave him full of openings that the muscular devil could take advantage of. 

With his Rebirth Eye's abilities blocked by the red aura and the Eye of Time nullifying the power of Shooting Star End, the only way Zatiel could secure his life was with the World Mirage Rune. 

Or at least that would have been the case if it wasn't for the Neo-Demon's body having fused with the Tree of Massacre.

From the Neo-Demon's helmet, which was the closest to the muscular devil's head, three branches covered in purple fire emerged.

The Tree of Massacre's branches may not be powerful, but they were incredibly fast, especially when Shooting Star End improved them. 

Even in the stagnation domain, the branches moved much faster than the muscular devil, and they aimed at his eyes and neck.

The devil's body was mighty, and his armor was a high-grade artifact, but even he could not resist the branches coming for his eyes and neck.

Any other Devil Marquess would have to stop his attack and back down, but the Eye of Time's holder showed his uniqueness one more time. 

The Eye of Time glowed again, this time improving the muscular devil's speed. He used superb martial skills to twist his body so the branches would land on his chest, where they did almost no damage.

Zatiel hoped the branches would have been enough to stop the muscular devil, but the only thing they achieved was delaying the fist enough for him to use his left arm as a shield.

"BOOOOOOM!"

A sonic blast that made the earth beneath them tremble befallen when the muscular devil's fist landed. 

That punch blasted Zatiel away, and he did not stop until crashing with the bottom of the volcano both sides were fighting to secure. 

The encounter between the two was full of surprises and impressive displays of power, but it transpired in less than a second!

Both of them displayed a speed that the other Marquises could barely keep on. One used an Animax Soul Rune that emulated the fastest bloodline of the universe. The other had Time Essence and an eye capable of manipulating it beyond what should be possible for a Rank 5 life form. 

The muscular devil did not pursue Zatiel after landing that devastating attack. His Eye of Time bleed, and you could see in his face that he experienced great pain. 

It seemed that using the Eye of Time to slow down the time around him and enhance his own simultaneously was too much for him.

The muscular devil's weakened state did not give any idea to the Infernal Rage Titan and the others. Right now, they were utterly shocked since they could feel the devil's soul force.

It was not high. On the contrary, the muscular devil's soul force put his cultivation on the 3rd Engraving Stage!

His battle power could compare with a recently advanced Rank 6 life form without an Inner Law Dimension, and jet he had not even formed his Sacred Body of Laws. That potential and talent were incredible.

In less than three seconds, the muscular devil suppressed the backlash, and then he fired his body like a cannonball toward the place Zatiel crashed.

He covered half of the distance when his eyes narrowed. The next instant, a five thousand meters tall arc of bluish-purple flames emerged from the Neo-Demon's location.

The attack dissipated the cloud of dust that covered Zatiel, and they could see how the Neo-Demon's wings had pierced into the volcano, and they were channeling its energy into the death sword.

His left arm appeared broken, but he still moved his fingers, generating dozens of runic lines every instant that fused into the volcano.

The arc of flames was not only fast, but it also carried the power of Baator's Law of Destruction at the Minor Completion level, allowing it to ignore the devil's stagnation domain.

The arc's angle and speed were perfect, and they covered all the muscular devil's paths of escape. 

When they were about to clash, space trembled, and with a single step, the devil moved his body away from the arc's range.

Devil Counts could not understand what happened, but the Marquises felt the muscular devil using Void Disruption. 

The Law of Destruction should have sealed space, so that meant the muscular devil's Law of Space must have reached at least the Peak Initial level.

Zatiel did not stop attacking when he saw that. He fired another arc of flames along with a Soul Eradicator that consumed his enemy's red aura.

The Neo-Demon sent more and more arcs of bluish-purple flames to the muscular devil, but this one kept advancing using Void Disruption and Time Essence.

When the muscular devil was in range to send another attack, the third eye in the death sword, corresponding to the full release of the bone sword, glowed. An arc of bluish-purple flames, many times larger than the previous ones, shot forward.

The Law of Destruction did not advance to the Half Completion level, but the amount of fire the death sword discharged grew exponentially. 

Even with Void Disruption, it would be impossible for the muscular devil to dodge this arc of flames. The wall of fire blocked his vision, but even if he could not see his enemy, the killing intent in his eyes did not diminish.

He charged more than half of the red aura left into the ax before holding it with his two hands and hacking down using every ounce of strength in his body. 

Everybody saw with amazement how the muscular devil divided the fifty thousand meters long arc of bluish-purple fire in two.

The muscular devil saw Zatiel again. Before this one could do anything, he flashed forward and fired a fist that pierced his enemy's chest.

Despite having destroyed his enemy's vital organs, an ominous feeling appeared in the muscular devil's heart. Shock appeared in his eyes when he realized the man's aura in front of him was severely inferior to that of the one he fought before. 

His instincts screamed danger, but before he could back away, another winged man in dark armor rose from the ground and grabbed his back. 

The next instant, both winged men self-destructed, creating an explosion with the muscular devil in the center. If that was not enough, the blast generated a chain reaction with the volcano.

The center of the continent trembled due to a blast that extended for hundreds of thousands of meters and burned with more intensity than a High World's sun.
