Lord Shadow

The Demon King must have plotted all of this.

The energy around the whole world right now is chaotic and that is actually an understatement. Some of the Laws of the world went crazy and wild, creating weird phenomenon that affects Heaven and Earth

It would take time for it to reached an equilibrium.

This is the perfect moment for the Demon King to do something unnoticed. 

The Demon King death created a blast of energy that shakes the whole world.

This energy was so potent, so powerful that it disrupts the Laws and the energies all around it. 

On many parts of the world this instability in the energies of the world and the disruption of the very basic laws that keep the whole world going had created a lot of chaotic energies storms that ravages the whole world

One of the side effect of this disruption of energy is that it makes anyone unable to easily use any energy related abilities

Of course for Divine Comprehension leveler the effect is only minimal. But one of the things that they could not do effectively in such a turbulent energy condition, is to use their Divine Sense

Even travelling through space and time at this time would be very hard since the Time and Space is also in chaotic circumstances

Jean tries to sender Divine Sense message to Azief. 

But because of the turbulent space disruption, the message that he sent become garbled. One could think of it like the sound turns into a static noise.

When it does reach Azief, it would either be too late or the message would be distorted. Jean clench his fist as his eyes seems to spin, akin like a black hole that is about to devour everything.

Wherevers his pair of eyes look; it is changing the Time around him reversing the distortion.

But then he stops halfway. 

‘It would be too late by then’ Jean made his decision.

‘I must try’ he said as he looks toward Katarina area and take a step forward, entering into the chaotic channel of Time and Space, trying to bend the distance between him and Katarina

Meanwhile on that area where the Demon King is appearing, Katarina had jump away from her snowflakes.

She did not even have the time to react before she saw Jean being cut into two.

With one glance, she knew that the being that appeared in this place and destroy Jean Time Avatar is none other than the Demon King

Of course there is many question in her mind. Why is the Demon King here? Why would he come here?

But she knew that all of these question did not matter at this moment.

Katarina immediately felt that something is wrong. 

Her premonition tells her that if she stays at this place even a second longer, she would be in a death and life crisis.

That is why she quickly jump away from her snowflakes. Her snowflakes immediately turn into a small icicle the size of a needle and attacks straight toward the Demon King

But the icicle did not even manage to reach the Demon King body before it disintegrated because of the killing intent that is shrouding the Demon King entire body.

This killing intent had manifest in the form of a thick red mist that is shrouding the entire area.

There is only one thought in her mind right now

‘I need to escape’ She kick the ground as the snows around her rises up and created smalls shields that connected with each other

These small shield connected with each other and become bigger. It is structured, latticed and light as a feather but possess powerful durability and endurance

Clouds appears above Katarina head. And hails of ice fall down from the cloud. These hails are sharp like a sword and instead of falling down, it moves sideways, aiming toward the Demon King.

The temperature around the area cooled down almost instantly as Katarina tries to use the energy that she had just recovered to escape this calamity.

The hails of ice attack the red mist but the moment it enters the range of that red mist, these hails turns into gas almost immediately. 

The change from hails of ice into water and into gas was so fast that one could only see air rising up around the area of the red mist

Balfor was laughing, looking at this.

Now, this makes sense he thought to himself. There are not many humans as powerful as Azief. It is not that humans are powerful. It is that human is powerful

Katarina in less than a second had done all of this while at the same time shrouded herself with a mist of cold air and ice spikes appears around her, floating around her and circling her like some kind of guard.

The coldness around the area is generated by her abilities and this coldness clashed with the potent and hot killing intent so one could see air rising up around the area, and it creates rains 

The rain when it falls down turns into hails of ice that would attack the Demon king.

Katarina is also using the coldness around her to freeze anything to atomic level to make it fragile. 

She tried to uses her Ultimate Freeze but for some reason it could not be used. She frowned as she understood that this is the application of Laws by the Demon King

It felt like her movement is very constricted.

It is a stage that she did not yet reach. She wanted to use her Ultimate Freeze on the Demon King. 

Her Ultimate Freeze ability when used would make her be able to create a world where nothing moves, a complete world of stillness.

Everything would be in a grinding halt. In that state, she could freeze anything in the world. the raging seas, the wind that blows, the energies that floats all over Heaven and Earth…. everything.

This is her ultimate technique that she had been practicing since she was in Pillar Forming. As she grows stronger, her ability to freeze thing also did not only limit herself to tangible things.

But clearly, such ability could not be used against the Demon King. 

This must have something to do with the fact that while she could freeze energies, she could not freeze Laws.

She is after all, right now clashing with an existence that is one level higher than her in the terms of advanced life forms.

The fact she could do all this is already impressive. 

With the cold air around her freezing the energies that is about to come blasting toward her, and after sneaking an attack, Katarina increased her speed, trying to move as far away as possible from the Demon king.

She flies upwards like a fairy immortal about to ascend to immortal abode. The scene is very beautiful.

Around her snow falls and hails of ice keep attacking toward the red mist. 

Balfor could see it even though all the snows and the hails of ice. 

He then pointed his index finger and the clouds exploded into motes of energy, the hails of ice all turn into gas and the cold air was swept away by the killing intent that brings heat and fire

Balfor look toward Katarina who is flying upward. All of this happen in the span of two second

Balfor look at the human and he only smiles.

‘Perfection’ and he chuckles a bit

‘All Source is really powerful if it could create such a taboo. But one at a time. The Rings is first on the list’ he muttered under his breath

Dying under the hand of Azief, Balfor realizes why Azief could fight with him toe to toe. Perfection path. 

He notices that Azief had walked that path. It is no wonder that it is not an easy feat to kill that human.

He is perfect in everything. 

And when he means Perfect in everything it means the Perfection in gathering energy, using it and controlling it. 

This kind of existence always defy logic. 

He could not have thought that there is not one but two people walking the Perfection path in this world. 

It made him feel a little bit envious.

Even he himself had tried to walk Perfection path in the past but he failed to follow it till the end.

It is not easy after all. The Seresian world energy consumption is high and the regeneration of energy is slow. If he had persevered, it would take him thousands of years if not more.

No wonder, that human did not step into Essence Creation even though he could. It is not that he couldn’t. But he didn’t want to.

There is also the fact that the fortune and fate of such a person would be very strong. The fact that he could keep it up until reaching such level shows the persistence of that human

Each time he succeeds in breaking through the shackles of life, of fate and destiny, the more fortune and fate is accumulated.

Killing such person is always hard. 

The stronger the fortune, the stronger the fate. And as such, they would always be obstacle in killing such a person.

Balfor mind is filled with all this thought as Katarina solid form is slowly about to turn into an intangible form.

She is about to turn to snow but then Balfor simply said

‘Break!’
