”THUMP!”

A powerful heartbeat echoed across the battlefield like a bomb full of energy and power. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Sarunʼs eyes widened as he saw the Scarlet King flash toward him at a speed nearly three times faster. It was not just impulse; the manʼs body, arms, and weapon moved exponentially faster to the point he could barely keep up.

A sense of dread assaulted the Bone Calamity Apotheosis Master as he was taken by surprise by the sudden burst in speed. His first thought was to put some distance between the two, so he sent his fist forward, trying to push the Scarlet King away.

Unfortunately for Sarun, the Scarlet King could predict all his movements with The Flow, dodging the fist and hacking toward the Atroxʼs neck with Slaughter.

The Scarlet Kingʼs eyes widened as Slaughter managed to sever half of Sarunʼs neck but was stopped in the middle, as he could not sever the spine. Clearly, the level of refinement the manʼs bones had obtained was formidable, and not even a Holy Weapon could sever it without immense strength.

Having half of your neck severed was an extremely serious wound, but Sarun knew he could survive if he managed to push the Scarlet King away. But before he could move his fists, the Scarlet King fired the Shadow Arc that he had contained inside the weapon.

”ZNNNNNN!”

Sarunʼs eyes were still full of disbelief as his head was separated from his body, and even in his last moments, he could not believe he had perished like that.

The Scarlet King could not stop the blood from flowing through his lips, and his entire body trembled due to the immense pain that assaulted him as the Third Gear put so much pressure on his heart that it reopened the wounds. Had it not been for the healing from the 15th Revolution Refinement, the Scarlet Kingʼs body would have collapsed immediately.

Using Asura Form to take Sarun by surprise was a dangerous bet, but it paid off, and he just clenched his teeth as he sent the manʼs corpse and his belongings into the [Devouring Dimension] before flashing forward.

The entrance to the laboratory was already in front of him, and the [Pseudo Multidimensional Scan Force Field] had located the intercontinental teleportation formation. As soon as he stepped into it, the formation would activate and send him to the Hyperion Continent.

”So, you are the infamous Scarlet King.”

However, just as the Scarlet King was about to reach his goal, he heard a voice and saw a woman in gray armor emerge from the shadows of the burning laboratory. She was none other than Ina, and her aura was full of killing intent.

Everybody could hear those words and immediately understood why Ina would block the manʼs path despite this one having wreaked havoc on the people of the Blood Path, who were supposed to be her enemies.

Everybody in Silent World already knew about the Scarlet King by the tales of the survivors and clearly wanted the manʼs death.

At first, they did not recognize him due to the golden armor, but as they heard Inaʼs words and remembered his spells, it was clear they were the same person.

Zamanʼs eyes glowed with killing intent as he heard that name, but he did not move and simply watched with a smile. The Scarlet King was strong but had suffered severe wounds and had not recovered from the backlash of the technique used to kill Sarun.

ʼShe seems ready to use her secret attack. I guess it is over for the man.ʼ

William had been paying attention to the Scarlet King as well and knew the state of the man, but there was nothing he could do since if he were to interfere, the two Divine Ascension Masters would also make their move.

The Scarlet King clenched his teeth as he saw the woman in his path, but there was no fear in his eyes as he was ready to push forward, using everything he had. As long as he reached the teleportation formation, he could always find a way to heal himself later.

Darkness and shadows overflowed through Slaughter as he prepared to attack the woman with every last ounce of energy, triggering Asura Form one final time.

Ina knew she had the upper hand, but she knew the man was full of surprise and did not want to follow Sarunʼs path. So, before they could get into striking distance, she locked eyes with the Scarlet King and formed a square with her hands.

”Phantom Invasion!”

Inaʼs power exploded as all her Essence Wave fused into her mind before an invisible force field was fired from her hands.

Although most of the Wave Kings did not understand Inaʼs spell, the Apotheosis Master and the trio in the high sky knew it was a soul invasion spell. These spells were incredibly hard to master, and it was easy to make a mistake and suffer a severe backlash, but their power was immense, and in terms of speed, they were nearly instantaneous.

When Sabina, Zaman, and William saw the invisible soul invasion spell reach the Scarlet King, everybody thought things were over.

The battle was indeed over once Inaʼs soul invasion spell reached the Scarlet King. However, unlike what everybody expected, the defeated one was not the Scarlet King.

The man barely frowned when the soul invasion spell landed on him, but Inaʼs head exploded like a balloon full of blood!

Of all the attacks that could be used against the Scarlet King, the worst type were soul invasion spells. If you were to target his mind and will, it would be a fair clash, but if the target were his soul dimension, everything would be over instantly.

When Inaʼs soul force reached into the Scarlet Kingʼs soul dimension, intending to destabilize it and harm him, the golden humanoid in the deepest part of the dimension simply snapped his finger, and Inaʼs soul burst to pieces.
