the black light tore through the air and went straight towards faes at a high speed. in blink of an eye it was already in front of her and had exploded. the explosion was not inferior to the one from before, the place faes was originally flying was now a black cloud with no movement whatsoever. the smoke was blown away from air showing that there was nothing left. 'faes was dead and not even her body was left behind!' ladon shivered as he thought about what was he going to tell to blake and her family from altai now.
"haha! finally died! truly a genius to injure me this much!" liam laughed as he turned to the cultivators below.
the army from kingdom reptiliance all had sad expressions while nuri adrian and ladon wore angry expressions. the cult members were also staring at him in an awe.
"what are you waiting for kill them!" liam said as he waved his hand.
"you! how dare you hurt our princess?" ladon glared at liam but he knew even if he was in elemental strengthening stage liam and he were on different levels. ladon might not even last one move under liam.
"she bought this on herself refusing to hand over nightlight. you cant blame me." liam smiled and vanished "now let me rest for a while before i come and kill you" with these words at ladon liam vanished into the portal while both the armies charged at each other again.
ladon nuri and adrian were fuming from anger and grief of watching faes die as they fought with king establishment stage cultivators. they were far stronger than those king establishment stage cultivators and due to their anger and grief they were killing everyone brutally.
they fought for hours before liam came back though didn't showed himself
"you are annoying!" he said as several red and black balls charged at the ladon and nuri and other high level cultivators.
"and you are a monster!" ladon was angry as he waved his hand. several fireballs flew towards the red black balls and met them halfway. both attacks cancelled each other but many were injured from the aftershock of the explosion again.
"you cant block my attacks, that princess was a genius to even fight me till she did but now she is dead!" liam said laughing.
"you are a coward, hiding! if you are a man come and fight me face to face!" ladon shouted
"you think that if you ask me to show myself i will listen? what am i to fall for such a trick, a fool?" liam laughed again but soon his laughter was cut of and he appeared in the air with a shocked expression.
while he was laughing he suddenly sensed danger and then a red mana ball appeared out of nowhere forcing him to move out of the void and also injuring him in the process. liam can tell that the red mana ball wasn't ladon's doing but if it wasn't him then who attacked him just now? that ball was no less strong than his black laser.
ladon watched liam in confusion. he just refused to appear but just after ending the sentence showed himself?
"who's there? show yourself!" liam shouted alerting ladon who was ready to attack liam. ladon realised that there was someone else that forced liam to come out of the void but he cant sense anyone powerful enough around. even after sometime there was no reply so ladon took this opportunity to attack liam bringing his attention back.
"i am here!" ladon shouted as he flew in the air and attacked liam who blocked it with his own attack.
"fine let me first kill you!" liam gritted his teeth and attacked using the red black balls again. those red and black balls were mana balls made of darkness and fire combined magic particles.
"lets see who will die" ladon replied attacking again
they fought each other to a stalemate before separating.
"tsk! irritating! i will just finish you off!" liam said as a black laser appeared again charging straight at ladon. ladon knew he cant avoid or block this attack with his own power but the attack was so powerful that he wasn't even able to move before it appeared right in front of him and exploded.
"no!" nuri shouted falling on her knees as tears stained her eyes. adrian also watched the smoke with his red eyes. first faes now father! both died but this time ladon wasn't laughing, instead, he wore a grim expression
"don't wail he isn't dead!" liam shouted cutting nuri's crying off along with the fight as everyone once again turned to watch what had happened. Nuri and adrian who thought that ladon died gained hope and watched the smoke disperse revealing a completely fine ladon without even a scratch along with another figure in front of him.
"faes!" adrian was shocked as he saw faes standing in front of ladon covered in blood but she ignored him.
"move back, i don't want to hurt you" faes said to ladon as she gripped her sword tightly in her hand. the sword was currently glowing covered with a red layer that seem to be blood.
"i am not going to leave you alone to fight!" ladon shook his head not wanting to leave faes alone to fight liam again. he knew how powerful liam was and it was a miracle that faes was alive along with him.
"dont worry about me" faes said. she still had her back towards everyone except liam so they didn't notice anything amiss yet
"how can i not worry, he is strong-" ladon stopped immediately as he found himself beside nuri on the ground. he glanced at faes in the air wanting to get back there but stopped when he saw faes smile at them.
it wasn't her smile that made him stop but rather her eyes that were glowing red in colour. he then noticed the red layer on her sword and stood on the ground in shock.
he didn't know what had happened but faes irises had changed their colour to red and she suddenly seem to have become more powerful than before. the aura she was releasing was strong and even suffocating him.
faes turned to liam and smiled
"they aren't going to interfere with our battle, let's continue," faes said to liam who was currently watching her with wide eyes and shaking slightly in fear. the aura faes was giving to him was as if the god of death had appeared in front of him.
"you! how are you alive?" liam asked
"don't you want to know?" faes replied as she lifted her hand showing him her watch.
"This is a watch that had been appearing in news a year ago, i am sure you know something about it," faes said. she had activated the defence and attack system of her watch as both her hp and mp had dropped below 10% due to her watch she can now stop any attacks for one hour and also attack using blood essence for an hour.
Liam noticed the watch and recalled a piece of certain news about a watch that no one can equip. it was sold around a year ago right before faes appeared in the capital city. he had ignored the news as it didn't seem much important but now that he had encountered the watch he knew that it wasn't an ordinary watch now.
"now that i am alive let's continue the battle," faes said lifting her sword as countless petals began to appear around her. though this time they were blood red in colour instead of a golden one and seem much more powerful.
"blood petals" "blood sword!" faes gave a light cry as the petals around her began moving.
