Chapter 478: Capture and Kill
Evie and Bai Yan, now transformed into fools, continued to launch their attacks.
Evie’s method of attack was through her voice.
Her song, a roar akin to crashing waves, was unlike anything anyone could have anticipated. From her small body, such powerful high notes and surging musical waves erupted.
Her anger-infused song had the ability to harm one’s soul directly.
But against the Ignorance of the Crown-level Apocalypse, Evie, who was not yet a monarch, found her soul attack to be ineffective. It merely scraped the surface.
The soul plane in play here was not low, and no matter how much Evie sang, her throat growing hoarse, it would have little impact.
The undeniable key force in this battle was Bai Yan. Though his potential was restrained by his state as a “fool,” his immense power was unleashed effortlessly, controlled by his self from two hours earlier.
Time froze for Mu Ling. The Scarlet Moon released her blood-red rays, and Alan’s Fire that Burns Everything blazed brightly. All three powers manifested simultaneously.
Although Bai Yan was just a powerful fool, he was still able to deal massive damage with little effort, as if guided by fate.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Bai Yan laughed maniacally, like a blissful clown.
His attack shattered Ignorance’s strange, foolish body. If not for Bai Yan’s decision to withdraw Alan’s Fire, he could have completely destroyed the monster.
Instead, he allowed the opponent to live. Amidst Ignorance’s wailing and bizarre screams, a black mist formed, swirling and engulfing the enemy before swiftly pulling him into the Babel Tower.
Capture success!
Meanwhile, on Kaluoer’s side, the battle had taken a different turn.
Vanity relentlessly attacked Kaluoer with unimaginable speed, using a skill called “Transference.” This ability allowed him to appear injured, but in truth, it made him grow stronger as he drew from his innate powers.
At that moment, Vanity had grown to an enormous size, towering several hundred meters high, like a giant reaching up to the heavens. His presence was so powerful it seemed as though he could easily scatter the entire city before him.
He was once near the strength of a middle-ranked Apocalypse, but now, with the strength from his “scars,” his power had reached its peak, and he was on the verge of possessing the strength of an upper-ranked Apocalypse!
“Huh?” Vanity’s senses detected the disappearance of Ignorance, and he was momentarily surprised.
But he wasn’t scared.
“So, you managed to defeat it…” he muttered, “Now I don’t have to struggle to move it anymore… I’m strong enough now.”
“You shall all meet your end.”
Then, Vanity’s voice rang out, booming with authority.
“Drink!”
In the midst of the Six Rites, the “Oral Assembly Ceremony” transformed the sound of his voice into a powerful command that struck directly at the soul. It was an awe-inspiring force that materialized in the sky as a colossal golden pestle.
The pestle twisted and distorted like liquid and descended like a river, crashing down on Kaluoer’s location.
Kaluoer stood still, her face expressionless, offering no sign of fear.
She resembled a perfect blade, an impeccable human form, unmoved by Vanity’s attack.
“Boom!”
The golden pestle hit the ground with a deafening crash. A blinding burst of golden light erupted, and the entire city trembled. A massive cloud of dust spread out, swallowing everything in its path.
The royal palace, once a symbol of supreme power, crumbled to dust in the face of such immense strength.
The impact continued to spread, toppling buildings and streets, engulfing nearly half the city before finally subsiding.
The scale of destruction was so terrifying that it rivaled the legendary Chosen for Eternity, Glofield!
Yet, in the next moment, Kaluoer appeared in mid-air.
She was unscathed.
The powerful strike had been unable to affect her, as it could only damage the physical realm. Kaluoer, hidden within the realm of nothingness, was beyond its reach.
To her, Vanity appeared as a massive being, but in reality, his form was adorned with numerous weaknesses, like cracks in a fragile shell.
The surge of uncontrollable power had inadvertently exposed his vulnerabilities. His strength, speed, and vitality were heightened, but in the presence of “Hidden Azure,” Vanity had become much weaker.
Kaluoer’s blade glided down gently, cutting through his immense form.
In an instant, Vanity cracked open, splitting in the middle like a towering mountain crumbling under its own weight. From within, golden light spilled out.
Vanity had realized that Ignorance was gone and no longer able to transfer damage to him. He wasn’t surprised.
His power had now reached nearly a thousand meters in height. Each blow he dealt could annihilate an entire city, yet he still wasn’t worried about being attacked.
Through the “Six Rites,” Vanity possessed extraordinary abilities, especially the “Ritual of Viewing” that granted him enhanced sight, allowing him to perceive and twist fate itself.
Any power aimed at him would be nullified, unable to kill him as long as he remained aware.
However, even as his strength surged, Kaluoer’s power rendered him weaker than ever. Her blade, like a scalpel, cut through him with ease.
In a moment of realization, Vanity attempted to tap into the “Ritual of Hearing,” a skill that let him control any sound that entered his ears.
He closed his eyes to concentrate, losing the ability to see, the only drawback to his power.
But when he focused on the sounds around him, he was struck by a chilling realization.
The attack that had just struck him, which should not have been lethal, had indeed left him near death.
The towering figure of Vanity began to crumble like a collapsing mountain, and to his shock, the expected rebirth never occurred.
Instead, his soul, disoriented, rose into the air.
Vanity struggled, desperate to understand what had happened. His soul was drawn into a pitch-black void, his surroundings a confusing, dark nothingness.
“Where am I?” Vanity asked in desperation, but there was no answer.
The void closed in on him as he struggled in vain.
High above Enos’ new imperial city, Death loomed.
The figure stood in the sky, silent and unmoving, observing the souls within his grasp.
With a flick of his hand, the souls vanished without a trace.
“Dead Seal.”
Any soul killed by Hidden Azure could never be revived. The reaper would claim it, ensuring an eternal end.
Kaluoer, her task completed, slowly put away her weapon. She stood silently as Bai Yan and Evie returned to her side.
“I did it,” Kaluoer stated, her face unchanged.
Bai Yan smiled, nodding. “Thank you for protecting us, Kaluoer.”
Kaluoer glanced at them, her gaze soft but resolute.
“I will protect you both forever,” she promised.
“Not as a tool or a weapon, but as someone… who wants to be relied upon and needed by others.”
