Chapter 401 400:The Real Shadow Queen Awakens 2

Although everyone was frightened and scared out of their wits seeing Riya's transformation, Alex was the most worried among the bunch.

With beads of sweat forming on his forehead, Alex tried to appease Riya just to make sure she hadn't lost herself.

"Riya, calm down, don't let your power get over your head."

"I am calm and I am in control."

Silence!

Alex didn't know just how she could claim herself to be calm when her body was emanating such a chaotic aura that was even giving him chills.

She seemed to be a step away from losing her humanity, her skin colour started to change along with her mana which had become dark and turbulent.

Azores stared at the girl with a confused look.

"I don't know what is going on and how you can increase your power to such an extent?"

"Your body should explode, unable to contain the power."

"But you are surely an interesting specimen. My organization would surely like to experiment on you and know more about your power as I could feel a sense of familiarity from it."

"Hahaha!" Azores burst into laughter like a maniac, however, he wasn't able to laugh for long as a vertical line appeared over his body out of nowhere.

His eyes widened and a startled expression appeared on his face which was followed by the appearance of a line.

Swish!

The body was cut into two halves and fell onto the ground.

"It's already over," Noah muttered with a frightened look as he looked at the fallen corpse of the Saint.

"She killed him with one slash which my eyes couldn't even catch the sight of."

While Noah was frightened, Hunter and Den stood rooted on the ground watching

the scene with a complicated gaze.

Their gazes weren't able to witness any movement from Riya.

"It's not over," Alex muttered and stared up.

Before Riya slashed and the cut touched the body, Alex saw a dark mass shoot upwards from the dissected body.

The body that was cut seemed to be human skin or a vessel occupied by that man.

SCREECH!

"What an honour." A being's disdainful voice along with a screech spread across the entire battlefield.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice.

"Killing my vessel is already a big deal." He spoke with a chuckle.

Azores' real bodies appeared with two bat shaped wings behind his back.

His skin was slightly grey and he had gnarly claws on his hands and toes.

His body was covered with scales and his reptilian gaze stared at Riya.

His lips opened to form a smile showcasing the large crooked and sharp teeth. But anyone who looked at the smile could see a strong burning anger.

"Girl, tell me how do you want to die?"

His voice sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

"I am afraid that your strength isn't enough to kill me."

Riya spoke as another wave of dark power shot out from Riya's body.

And soon a pressure, as if the world was crashing down on everyone appeared.

The world seemed to be shaking while reality seemed to be trembling.

The sky was rumbling and it became dark and everyone held their breath no matter whether it was Noah's or Alex's, men.

FUSSSSH!

UGH!

Many fell onto their knees unable to handle the pressure.

Even Noah was forced onto the ground with a horrified look.

Except for Alex and Noah's two Mythic ranks, everyone fell onto their knees.

​ The darkness that enveloped Riya started to crawl out from her body and soon the wriggling mass of darkness formed five pairs of hands.

A dagger of darkness manifested in her hands and he swept her left foot back while raising her chin.

The dark aura around Riya became fiercer and fiercer and soon exploded.

For a moment, the purplish darkness descended onto the battlefield and then...

BAAAANG!

Loud rumbles occurred which were strong enough to shatter one's ear drums.

Everton heard the sound of a single explosion but Alex who observed the scene knew that this single explosion was the result of a thousand clashes and exchanges between Riya and Azores that happened in an instant.

The sky seemed to be split apart due to the thundering booms echoing one after another.

Ripples one after another crashed onto everyone.

The ripples created due to Riya and Azore's battle were strong enough to crush anyone below Master rank to a pulp.

The entire Terror of Ranvier seemed to shake in terror and fear.

BOOM!

Another thundering boom appeared and Alex turned his gaze to notice a mountain far away from them was blown into smithers.

Alex's squinted at the battle with a wildly beating heart.

He wasn't able to follow up on the fight properly but an instant before the collision, he could see a figure shoot back and collide with the mountain.

But regretfully, he wasn't able to identify the figure's cause as the figure collided, it got up quickly and charged again.

The battle just began and soon loud craters of 100 metres in length appeared.

Strong gales like hurricanes whipped towards everyone.

It was a deadly situation.

The situation of people on the ground was quite dire as it felt like they were grabbed under a time bomb which was ticking slowly.

Alex ordered all his men to stay behind him.

His men who were swept away started to gather behind him carrying those who lost their consciousness.

He raised his sword and covered his men with the golden barrier which shook with each passing moment.

Noah did the same and protected everyone, forming a barrier that was furnished by the aura of two Mythic ranks.

Noah glanced at Alex with a peculiar eye and spoke with trembling.

"Is that demoness really your wife?"

Alex's lips twitched for a moment.

First of all, they were enemies who were going over each other's throats a few moments ago and second thing, was this a situation to ask such a question?

'It seems this guy had finally lost it,'' Alex thought inwardly.

Alex took a heavy breath and spoke with a glare.

"Now do you understand, you never really stood a chance but do you think that matters now in this situation?"

"Are you just curious or just jealous of me having such a valiant and beautiful wife?"

"You..."

A thick vein bulged on Noah's forehead as he heard Alex reply which almost made him cough blood.

He even thought why the hell did he ask such a naive question?

Alex stared at Johnson who looked like a frail old man swaying here and there due to the raging storm outside.

His eyes seemed to be lifeless. He seemed to be under immense shock and had already given up on his living.

Then his gaze turned towards Aeon and Max who just stood with a blank expression and trembling legs.

The other men in his squad seemed to have already passed out.

Alex wanted to say something but was perplexed seeing their expressions.

"It seems I have to start your mental training and increase the difficulty of the other courses."

As if some sort of healing spell was cast, all of them got out of their stupor and shouted.

"We are all alright."

Johnson who was still in shock wakes up by Max's call and mutters faintly.

"It's okay, you will get used to this old man."

At that time another gale collided with a barrier like a tsunami which forced everyone to back down.
