Soul Reaper fell down unable to move.
"Finally... That beast was strong as fuck..." Xenon fell down unconscious, he used all of his mana.
"Xenon you alright?!" All others rushed towards him.
They poured some healing potions and regeneration potions into his mouth.
"Ouch..." Xenon was back to his consciousness, but his body was still weak.
"You alright? I thought you are done for..." Ray gently patted him.
"Haha yeah... I never thought I would have to use both of my eyes... He was something..." Xenon was still feeling a little dizzy.
"Thank God we had captain's potion..." Nishio looked at his bag, there were still five more bottles of these potions left.
"Stop assuming things, you guys... Take the key from that beast and let's return soon..."
"Oh! Yeah, we forgot." Nishio stood up and saw the burned corps of Soul Reaper.
"Let's make it quick..." Nishio changed the shape of his mana ring into a sword and moved toward the dead beast.
"Grrrrr..."
Nishio stopped in his way, the rumbling sound from the beast froze him on the spot.
"Haha... Hahahaha... That was a good move... But... Not enough to take me out..." Soul Reaper grabbed his scythe to stand up.
"What the?! He's alive?!!!" Nishio rushed back and took a defensive stance.
"That was good mana... But remember one thing... My Darkness is the strongest..."
"SOUL SLASHING SCYTHE!!!"
Soul Reaper used his scythe to create multiple air slashes destroying anything in its way.
"We lose after all..." Yohan and Ray didn't even try to dodge the attack.
"Seems... I have no other choice..." Nishio took out the dagger which Zeno gave them and stabbed it in his arm.
"Ahhhhh!!!!" The seal on the dagger broke, releasing the beasts sealed inside it.
Many black snakes rushed out through his arm, where the dagger was stabbed.
"Quickly take the dagger out before Millieous comes out!!" Yohan rushed towards Nishio who lay down in pain, barely able to move.
Yohan grabbed the dagger and pulled it out.
The dagger lay on the ground and snake's kept on breaking through it.
"HISSSSSSS~~~"
At last, a loud hiss was audible and a massive snake came out of the dagger completely destroying it.
"HISSS~~~!!!" Millieous jumped towards the air slashes and slammed them away with its tail.
"A Blackconda... And almost a hundred meters in length... Who is your master? I know these losers are not your master." Soul Reaper was amazed tk find a blackconda of such a massive length
"Haha... Yessss... These losers are not my master... They are not even clossse to him." Millieous laughed and then gave a scary glare to Soul Reaper.
"My massster is an immortal... He possesses the God'ssss Regeneration..." Millieous had a vicious look on its face.
"God's Regeneration... That is a myth..." Soul Reaper was shocked too.
"Haha, some mythssss are trueeee." Millieous slithered around Soul Reaper.
"Enough talking... I heard you saying your darkness is the strongest... But can you rival my mastersss darkness?" Millieous opened his mouth creating a ball of aura, it was the aura inside of the Zenos heart.
The darkness Zeno possessed at such a young age was frightening... The darkness which swallowed the darkness itself, a strong emotion of hate and despair for the world. It was nothing short of amazing, Soul Reaper froze up on seeing Zeno's aura.
"Bow down to my master... He will protect the whole world... Give us the key on which you have kept a hold on..."
Millieous slithered around Soul Reaper tightening its grip.
"It does not matter if his darkness is strong... I would serve only one queen... And that is Queen Diana..." Soul Reaper was not able to move much easily.
"Hyaaa!!!" It tried to break through Millieous's grip but he was overpowered... Even Inferno couldn't overpower him this much.
"Shit... I'm... Trapp..ed..." Soul Reaper couldn't move an inch.
"Alight then... I will force you to bow to the new king!!" Millieous ordered all the snakes to jump inside Soul Reapers' mouth.
"Raaaaaarrrr!!!!"
"Graaaaa~~!!!!"
"No!!!! Stop!!!!"
All the snakes slithered through his mouth, they went to his stomach his brain, and his intestine, they moved in his whole body trying to search for the key.
At last Soul Reaper vomited out all the snakes with the key.
"Haha, don't worry we will... We will make a good ussssse of it...." Millieous went ahead and gulped down the Soul Reaper.
"D... Dam!!!! What the heck!!" Everyone was shocked, the spacial beast who almost killed them was taken out so easily.
The whole cave was demolished, luckily no one died because of Zeno's summoning mark.
"But still... There were thousands of snakes inside Soul Reapers' body... Slithering everywhere... Imagining it makes me feel kinda... Gross."
They all quickly began their return to the place where the Black Sea was resting.
"Captain, have good news, they were able to take down Soul Reaper and are returning with the key." Catherine gave the intel she just received through the messenger snake.
"Good, any casualties?" Zeno was half sleepy tired from his all-day work.
"Nope, none."
"What about my babies?"
"Babies...? Oh, you mean beasts! Only two died while getting out of the Soul Reapers body." Catherine got confused when he mentioned his beasts as his babies.
"What!!!! You are serious??!! My two babies died??" Zeno jumped from his place.
"H... Hey... You have almost ten million snakes... And I bet they must have given birth to many more by now." Catherine couldn't understand why Zeno was sealing such a big fuss.
"They were my babies!!!! I remember all of their names!!!" Zeno broke into tears.
On seeing him cry Catherine felt it pretty ironic, the one who kills for fun is crying on the death of two snakes.
"Zeno..." Rain took out her handkerchief and wiped off his tears, "It's alright let's give both of them a proper funeral."
"Sniff... Yeah, we will, and I have to prepare for my final show too..." Zeno clung onto Rain and she led him to his room.
