After pondering deeply about this issue, Azaroth decided to intervene in this battle!
He controlled nearly half of the Death Energy around him and formed a small sphere of it. This small sphere held enough energy to kill its target instantly.
However, Azaroth was sure that he couldn't kill Aeshma with this Death Sphere. Her Divine Zither's Radiant Energy could deal with this Death Sphere.
But the situation would be completely different if the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor received this influx of Deathly Energy.
The strikes of Yin Devouring Demon Emperor were already devastating. He was, however, lacking in Yin Energy, or else they would be much deadlier and would be able to heal his injuries.
Azaroth had noticed that the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's target had been Esther or Aeshma. He seemed to realize that these two Archangels posed the greatest threat to him.
If it weren't for these two Archangels holding onto God-Ranked Weapons, the two Demon Emperors would have steamrolled them by now.
Unfortunately, the reality was rather unfair. The Archangels held God-Ranked Weapons, while the Demon Emperors were suffering from a lack of energy!
Azaroth activated his Mystic Eyes of Perception to its full potential to utilize its Precognition Ability. After witnessing the future, he immediately moved and threw the Deathly Sphere towards the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's domain!
The Yin Devouring Demon Emperor was charging up another attack, and this time, he was planning to attack Aeshma.
The addition of Deathly Energy was bound to make the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's attack much deadlier with a hint of Death Energy in it.
Azaroth was sure that Aeshma would find it much harder to deal with this attack than before. This was exactly what occurred.
As the battle continued, Aeshma managed to anticipate Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's actions. Her timing in setting up a barrier to protect everyone from Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's attacks was absolutely perfect.
Before the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor even attacked, Aeshma had already set up a significantly strong barrier that could block his attack with no problem. She was conserving much of her power as she knew the maximum output he could muster.
Unfortunately, Aeshma was about to pay the price for this perfect timing. Azaroth's Death Sphere boosting the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's attack significantly was completely out of her expectations!
It wasn't just her. Even the Demon Emperors weren't expecting to receive such great support from someone. But the reality turned out to be convenient and much more favorable than they initially imagined.
The barrier instantly shattered upon coming in contact with the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's attack. This attack was known as the Pure Yin Spear!
After receiving that boost from Death Energy, the Pure Yin Spear instantly shattered the barrier and headed straight towards Aeshma.
Aeshma was taken aback when she saw this Pure Yin Spear charging right at her. She spotted the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor's astonished countenance as he came toward her.
Esther arrived at the perfect moment to block the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor from advancing any further. She shouted out to Aeshma, "Deal with that Yin Spear!"
Only Aeshma could deal with that Yin Spear because it took quite some time for Esther to gather Radiant Energy by using her Judgement Trident. It was easier for her to physically block the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor.
While Esther and the Yin Devouring Demon Emperor were engaged in a fierce battle, Aeshma quickly moved her fingertips.
Instantly, a melodious sound along with a dense amount of Radiant Energy was released from her Divine Zither.
The Radiant Energy formed a thin sheet of rectangular shape that blocked the Pure Yin Spear. This thin sheet of Radiant Energy wasn't like a rigid wall that strived to halt the Pure Yin Spear but a rather flexible thing that slowly reduced the momentum of the Pure Yin Spear.
Controlling this sheet while blocking the Pure Yin Spear required all of Aeshma's focus. Maybe it was because of this that she didn't see a peculiar shadow coming up behind her.
This was a sneak attack by none other than Serene Ghost Demon Emperor. However, the Serene Ghost Demon Emperor faced the attacks of more than two Archangels who rushed toward him at top speed.
The Serene Ghost Demon Emperor clicked his tongue as he realized that he had lost the opportunity!
However, what none of them knew was that another shadow was getting closer to Aeshma. This peculiar and sinister shadow was right underneath her.
The two Demon Emperors drew the attention of all the Archangels, prompting Azaroth to act.
Azaroth took a deep breath while he controlled the Deathly Energy. He decided it was time for him to pull out one of his old weapons.
Frozen Hell Longbow!
This was a demonic bow that Azaroth used during his previous life! He had used this bow to assassinate countless figures. It wouldn't be the first time he was using this bow to kill an Archangel while he was at the Demon King rank.
All the Death Energy started converging as an Icy Aura was released from this bow. The icy aura formed the shaft of the bow while the arrowhead was formed of pure Deathly Energy.
This bow had a particular skill, due to which Azaroth loved it. It was this bow's astounding shooting speed!
This bow didn't hold a lock-on skill but instead held an extremely quick shooting speed. At the least, the senses of an Archangel could never react to that speed unless specifically trained for it.
After Azaroth felt that the power was more than sufficient, he shot that arrow.
The arrow flashed in the air like lightning! Before Aeshma even sensed this arrow, it had already pierced her body, leaving behind that thick Deathly Energy!
At this point, Aeshma realized that her body was pierced by Deathly Energy. However, she couldn't use her Divine Zither to disperse this Deathly Energy.
It took all her focus and power to deal with that Boosted Pure Yin Spear. If Aeshma recalled even a bit of Radiant Energy to deal with this Deathly Energy, this Boosted Pure Yin Spear would pierce her body.
And this Boosted Pure Yin Spear was definitely going to split her in two! It would be an instantaneous death!
Aeshma could sense this Deathly Energy incinerating her vitality! Her vitality was drying so fast that Aeshma guessed she only had a couple of minutes.
However, before her death, she wanted to take a look at the person who attacked her. Aeshma lowered her head slightly and saw Azaroth standing on the ground with a conceited look on his face.
She despised that look. It exuded the validation of a mastermind in command of the entire battlefield.
Aeshma was exceptionally prideful of her ability and intelligence, so she couldn't tolerate someone else anticipating her actions!
She recalled all her Radiant Energy and launched one last attack in Azaroth's direction.
Azaroth sinisterly smirked as he saw a stream of Radiant Energy heading towards himself. Actually, he saw that a minute earlier through his precognition ability and was prepared for this attack.
Azaroth's body disappeared just before the Radiant Energy stream struck him. Since he knew the attack was heading toward him, Azaroth was prepared to teleport out of the way by using his Spatial Technique.
