"This power… Adam's Blessing!"
Nigra, who was being held tightly by Anton, felt fear. She immediately moved her hands and pierced her enemy's abdomen, but at that very moment, she also felt the divine flames erupting with such intensity that her agonized body eventually crumbled into ashes.
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
Anton knew he could eliminate them by sacrificing a part of his own body, but this was the only way to kill them one by one without giving them a chance to escape.
His divine energy spread along the edge of his sword, and eventually, the flames diminished significantly. It had been difficult, but he had managed to eliminate the first Demon General, which meant that only two remained alive.
"Hoo…"
While Anton was recovering from his injuries, divine energy erupted in the distance. After only a few breaths, Souler appeared near Anton and launched two powerful attacks that forced him backward.
"Only a fragment of her soul remained in the air. That will be more than enough to strengthen my abilities a little and allow me to kill you."
With half his body destroyed, Souler seemed to absorb something from the air. Anton knew what it was. However, he concentrated on closing each of his wounds so he could resume attacking with complete confidence.
The surrounding buildings had been reduced to rubble. The divine flames released by his right wing continued to grow stronger, giving Anton certain advantages in this battle.
Anton slowly walked forward and looked at the two Demon Generals standing before him. Neither was in good condition, but both seemed ready to keep fighting. Under these circumstances, he needed to eliminate them before a tragedy occurred.
"I told you that none of you would leave this place alive!"
"Perfect Red King, Release!"
At that moment, all the divine flames scattered throughout the surrounding area returned to his sword. However, the blade in Anton's hands changed its appearance, becoming charred and worn.
When Anton activated his ability, the entire area transformed into an environment resembling a desert, with a completely clear sky and scorching heat.
His main ability consisted of gathering the tremendous energy of the divine flames and releasing it through his sword. This was the technique he had been learning earlier. If he hadn't mastered it, the blade would merely reduce everything it touched to ashes. Now, however, his power was capable of destroying anything it touched without leaving a trace.
"What have you done?"
"I'm simply changing the course of the battle…"
As Anton said this, he disappeared from his position and reappeared beside Lethis, who seemed unaware of his location.
It was true that he had no Spiritual Energy surrounding his body, so no one, not even the Demons, could detect him unless they were exceptionally skilled at observing the structure of life energy within the human body. However, this was almost impossible, as only Sebastian could do it, and even he had struggled somewhat to master the ability.
When Anton appeared beside his enemy, his sword swept forward in a way that made the attack impossible to dodge. His opponent tried to stop the blow with his bare hands, but doing so was nothing less than mocking the power represented by Anton's Adam's Blessing.
BOOM!!!
As though a missile had struck the earth, the explosion was so immense that dozens of buildings disappeared in the blink of an eye from the slightest brush of Anton's blade.
BOOM!
As a result, an enormous crater formed, and the Demon General was erased from existence. There were no ashes, nothing left to represent the damage he had suffered from that impact. Even worse, it had all happened in a mere fraction of a second.
However, Anton couldn't stop moving, as he still had an enemy racing through the streets at tremendous speed. Taking advantage of the moment, he moved and cast a spell to imprison the Demon General, but he missed.
When he least expected it, Anton felt needles piercing his left hand, but he refused to stop.
He knew that if the battle spread into the area where the civilians were located, there would be no way to prevent a massacre.
"Originally, I thought I could kill you. It was a huge joke to even try, considering that your power is no longer comparable to anything else in this world…"
Souler's words seemed to pierce Anton's soul. Nevertheless, he needed to remain calm throughout this battle.
"You will die!"
As Souler whispered those words, a deadly shroud enveloped his body, and he charged at Anton.
This attack required all his strength. The entire area had been completely erased, leaving nothing but ashes and enormous craters from the battle that was still raging.
However, Anton stepped forward and swung his sword one last time.
"Show me your power!"
BOOM!!!
As he pushed this attack to its limit, Anton felt as though he possessed the power to cut through the world and much more with a single swing of his sword.
Seeing that his attack had landed first, he withdrew his power, and his wing returned to its sealed state.
"Hoo…"
A deep sigh escaped Anton's lips. He felt a profound sense of guilt, yet at the same time, a sense of freedom. At last, he had reached the highest level of power he could attain. He didn't know what level those Demons had reached, but they were on a level he couldn't even begin to imagine.
His strength had grown so much that he no longer knew how powerful his enemies truly were…
"Interesting power, but fights aren't always physical, my dear hunter."
"Huh?"
Jonathan turned around, and at that moment, the Crimson King extended his hand with a smile and grabbed Jonathan by the neck.
"Let's see what's inside your soul."
