Chapter 269: Ch-269: Domination

Rumble!

A few seconds had passed, and she could not feel any pain. She opened her eyes, and her eyes widened when she saw Victor standing in front of her, as his scythe had blocked the sword and black lightning crackled around his body.

But someone else was even more shocked than Seraphina herself. Valerie, who saw Victor suddenly turn into black lightning and rush towards Seraphina, had barely any time to react, and when she realized what she had just witnessed, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets and her jaw hit the floor.

"B-Black lightning, t-that’s Faceless!" Valerie shouted in disbelief.

Valerie’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as she looked at Victor like she could drill holes through him with her gaze, her eyes trailing towards the black lightning that was crackling around his body.

’Heavens, how come this guy is Faceless...? Isn’t his Bloodline related to fire?’ Valerie was completely dumbfounded by this revelation. The person that everyone on Earth, including the top families, the government, and even the underworld, was looking for was right beside her all along, and she had no clue. Moreover, this guy was even a student at the Academy.

’Why the hell is he in the Academy...? He is even stronger than Headmaster Lance.’ Valerie was speechless and stiffly turned to look at Amber and Rina, who were looking at her in amusement.

"Hey, did you two know he is Faceless?" Valerie asked as they raised their eyebrows and rolled their eyes.

"Of course we did. We are his wives, you know," Amber said with a shrug.

"Wait, w-wives?" Valerie’s mouth hung open as she was surprised by this revelation. She thought they were in a live-in relationship and not actually married, and she cursed inwardly, ’Of course, a playboy.’

"I thought his Bloodline was related to flame. How come he has lightning?" Valerie asked.

"Well, he has more than four Bloodlines, and there is a chance he will get more," Rina said as she tapped her chin in thought.

"Great, fucking monster," Valerie said with a tired sigh as she tried to calm down her nerves. She could imagine what kind of reaction everyone would have if they knew Faceless attended the Academy.

’If Mother knew...’ Valerie thought with a grimace. She was sure her mother would have come to the Academy to visit him and even propose marriage directly to him and urge Valerie to drug him and take him to bed if he refused. Just thinking about it made her temples throb. Even if she was not averse to Victor, she still wanted to become more familiar with him.

Seraphina’s heart pounded in fear and relief as she saw Victor block Mark’s attack. She looked at him with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Victor. If you had not intervened, I would have been dead."

"It’s fine. You go and do what you were about to do," Victor said as his hands trembled a bit from blocking the attack.

Mark’s expression darkened when he saw Seraphina escape and said in a cold voice, "Hey, are you sure you want to mess with me...? If you get out of my way, I can ask the Devil King to spare your life."

"Heh." Victor sneered, hearing his condescending tone, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Why don’t you surrender? I will tell King Alaric to make you a slave but spare your life."

"You’re courting death," Mark said in a cold voice as he looked at Victor, who, in his eyes, was nothing but a weakling he could crush, but... boy, was he wrong.

"Heh, let’s see who is actually courting death," Victor smiled as the lightning around him started to grow even more violent than before, and the next moment, he turned into lightning and dashed towards Mark, who snorted and met him head-on.

"Sigh, she is fine." Maria, who had gone completely pale seeing her daughter about to get killed, sighed in relief when she saw Victor block the attack.

"Tsk, useless." Silent Reaper clicked his tongue in displeasure as he saw Mark fail to kill the princess. He then turned his attention to Maria and said in a cold voice, "First, I will deal with you and kill your precious daughter."

"As if I would let you do that," Maria said in a cold voice filled with murderous intent as dark mist began to erupt from her body. She knew even though she was at Tier 5, she was still at a disadvantage, as she had recently reached her current power and Silent Reaper was stronger than her, but she knew she could not back down.

"We will help you." Maria looked at Rina and Amber, who had appeared beside her, and frowned upon seeing this and was about to retort, but Amber cut her off. "We might not be able to do much damage, but we can surely harass him so that he slips up and makes a mistake."

Rina also nodded and looked nervously at the Devil.

"Fine, but you maintain a distance while I do most of the fighting," Maria said as the girls nodded.

"Heh, just you two trash." Silent Reaper, who heard their conversation, scoffed, but the next moment, his expression changed when he felt his brain become a bit hazy and hurriedly used his willpower to break free from the sudden mental attack.

"Tsk." Amber clicked her tongue as she saw her charm failing to control him, but Maria, who saw this, was astonished. ’Heavens, Primordials are different. Even a weak one can influence someone with such a high-level difference.’

She had seen powerful succubus demons using their charm to kill others, but they could only do it to someone of a lower tier or the same tier as them. But Amber did something even the most talented succubus could not do.

"I will first kill you. A Primordial is too dangerous to be kept alive, no less dangerous than a Night Slayer," Silent Reaper said before he vanished from his place.

Seeing this, Rina hurriedly created a barrier of light.

BANG!

Crack!

Just as Silent Reaper was about to strike the girls, Maria came and blocked his attack, and the shock directly destroyed her light barrier.

"Damn, it’s useless to go on the defensive. I should attack," Rina said as she realized the level gap was too high for any defensive skill to have any impact.

"You are correct," Amber said as the ground beneath her started to freeze rapidly, and she morphed her handgun into an AR.

"I should also go on the offensive," Rina said as the ice near her started to melt and the temperature around her started to increase as light started to gather around her.

Bang Bang

Boom Boom

Shockwaves and explosions were created as both kings kept clashing midair. Neither of them held back anything and did not give the other any chance to breathe.

"Huff... Huff." Alaric panted heavily, and his body was riddled with injuries. It might seem like he was going toe-to-toe with Isaac, but only he knew the situation was not as equal as it appeared. He had to expend a greater amount of mana and use powerful techniques to contend with Isaac’s normal ones.

His expression turned grim when he saw Isaac was far less injured compared to him.

"Looks like this is your limit, huh? I am a bit disappointed." Isaac could also feel Alaric was weakening gradually. It would not be long before he lost unless a miracle happened. Then he gave a wicked smile as he muttered, "If that’s the case... let’s not delay and try this."

"What are you doing?" For some reason, Alaric felt alarm bells ringing and his instincts warning him of upcoming danger as he saw Isaac rummage through his storage item and bring out a grotesque, beating heart.

"This... is the heart of the Primordial Devil your ancestors kept." Isaac smiled as he showed the heart to Alaric.

As soon as Alaric’s eyes landed on the heart, his stomach dropped, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is this the heart you used on Mark to turn him into a devil?"

"Ding dong, correct, but sadly, you will get no prize," Isaac said as he continued, "and this heart has another use."

"What use?" Alaric asked.

"It can also turn others into mindless abominations," Isaac explained with a smile.

’Shit,’ he cursed when he heard this, and sure enough, Isaac pointed the heart towards him, and a beam of light struck him.

"Nooo!" Alaric said as he felt himself losing consciousness and being replaced by the urge to destroy everything. Soon, his body started to grow larger, wings sprouted from his back, long fangs grew from his mouth, and his pupils turned white as he gave a heart-shattering roar.

ROAR!

"Haha, go and destroy everything!" Isaac said with a manic grin on his face as he shouted at the top of his voice.
