Chapter 16 - The Great Escape (8)

The sky was dark...

The world went dim...

However, everyone looked in a single direction in the sky. The black demons had eyes filled with surprise. Meanwhile, the humans were looking with bewilderment.

'BOOM'

Purple lightning burst into the sky from Rafael as he looked down towards the battlefield.

Half of his face was engulfed in nothing but darkness. His long hair had shortened to his ears. Shadows levitated above him as a mix of purple and black lightning surrounded him.

The whole scenery was a show of tremendous strength that even the 10th commander couldn't help but look up to.

As Rafael saw the entire battlefield, he couldn't help but lock his eyes with the 10th commander with intense hatred and killing intent.

Leonel, Wushang, and the other five men looked at Rafael in confusion. They couldn't understand what was happening. The battle had just begun.

Leonel's red hair waved, and his crimson eyes glowed as he looked towards Rafael. His eyes widened in surprise as if he knew Rafael.

Maybe he did, who knows?

Rafael, however, did not care about this. 

At the moment, he just wanted to vent his bloodlust.

His anger.

His sorrow.

Everything.

Rafael brought two fingers forward, pointing towards the 10th commander. Delivering a chilling proclamation of his impending doom.

"Death..."

"Awaits you"

'BOOM'

In an instant, Rafael vanished from his spot, delivering a devastating punch to the 10th commander.

The aura released by Rafael was so terrifying that even Leonel felt shivers down his spine.

The 10th commander went flying backwards as he received the punch head-on. His nose broke as blood started to flow out from his mouth.

"Unholy Counter"

Suddenly, huge chains of purple lightning appeared, binding the 10th commander and rushing him back toward Rafael. Rafael grinned as his blood lust and horrifying killing intent came out.

The 10th commander's expression changed as he screamed in rage. Huge amounts of energy came out, obliterating the purple-black chains.

Rafael grinned, seeing this. His emotions went wild; his thirst for battle was at its peak.

He wanted Revenge.

Both of them darted forward with immense speed.

Both of them clashed with each other. Each exchange was horrendously powerful, creating shockwaves that instantly killed those nearby.

Suddenly, Rafael kicked the 10th commander, only to be dodged. The 10th commander's lips curled upwards as he was about to kill Rafael with his claws.

"Claws of Calamity"

A huge claw appeared on the 10th commander's right hand. The sky was illuminated by purple lightning as the huge dark claw came downwards with the intent to rip Rafael apart.

However, just as the 10th commander thought Rafael was dead, his eyes went towards Rafael's other hand, which had two fingers pointing towards him.

The 10th commander looked towards Rafael as his eyes widened in horror. Only to be met with a chilling smile.

[Soul Devourer]

A dark-purplish shining ball appeared in front of the two fingers as the 10th commander braced himself.

"Die"

In an instant, a dark-purplish ray of light illuminated the sky, Rampaging its way towards the black claw. The 10th commander screamed as the black claw moved forward towards the beam.

The dark skies were illuminated as a huge chunk of the army of black demons behind the 10th commander disintegrated into nothingness.

The black claw had lost the small battle terribly. It had been dissolved into nothingness.

"YOU MERE MORTAL"

The 10th commander screamed as his figure finally came into view.

Blood was flowing from his eyes and nose as half of his body had disintegrated.

Suddenly, Rafael had an ominous feeling to escape. Shivers went down his spine as he tried to control his emotions.

'Just what is this?' 

Leonel and others who were watching this narrowed their eyes in wariness.

The reaction that Rafael was having...

Was that of a predator when it meets its hunter...

The 10th commander screamed as he joined both of his hands together.

His hands made a symbol as it joined together. Followed by a roar filled with rage.

"Come forth, Judgement of Chaos" 

In an instant, the ground beneath Rafael was destroyed by the shockwaves. Several millions of humans and the 10th commander's soldiers died due to it.

Leonel and others immediately braced themselves as their eyes widened in surprise.

'He was hiding this much strength?' Leonel thought, sensing a dangerous shift of power on the battlefield.

A cold twilight descended upon the dark world. Molten lava bursts out of igneous rocks.

The hell itself trembled under sheer pressure.

As all of this was happening, seven dragons made of flames appeared behind the 10th commander. Each was the size of Shadow Dragon itself.

Rafael's eyes widened in horror as he saw this. However, his eyes then relaxed as a chilling smile appeared on his face.

Rafael brought forward one of his hands, and he said it in a light voice.

"Come forth, Judgement of Abyss"

Suddenly, the trembling world trembled even more. The seven huge dragons behind the 10th commander shivered in fear.

Meanwhile, Rafael blinked intensely as darkness engulfed him fully.

Everyone on the battlefield, who was already in awe of the 10th commander's prowess, was left in awe once again.

Above the dark sky, filled with purple lightning, two blue eyes opened...

"ROAR!"

A roar echoed throughout the domain, shaking the whole dimension terribly. The seven dragons immediately went forward to meet the horror lying in the sky.

Only to be destroyed by a single bite by the horror lying in the sky.

"You think you could defeat him?" Rafael said with a hint of amusement.

"Defeat who?" The 10th commander said as his eyes narrowed.

Just as those words came out, a black hole appeared once again in the sky. A huge black hole at that...

Rafael raised one of his hands as his face started to smile with amusement.

"I will just let you have a taste of this. He doesn't need to come for the likes of you."

Rafael said as he brought his hand downward. Instantly, the black hole started to descend upon Hell.

Leonel's eyes widened as he screamed to his soldiers.

"RETREAT!"

The army of humans rushed out of hell as the black hole was reaching the surface. Rafael stood there as the 10th commander started to have evident fear in his eyes.

"I will not die by the likes of you," the 10th commander said as he threw a huge amount of dragon breath into the black hole.

Only to be destroyed completely.

The 10th commander tried his best as a tremendous amount of energy was released from him.

However, it was too late...
