One-Eyed Monster

Chapter 974 - 972: Together in Battle (Part 2)

The sky was filled with flames, turning the entire Border Realm red. These flames burned the Soul Devourers, disfiguring their bodies.

Though the bodies of these Soul Devourers were already quite disgusting, the fury of the fire made them even more grotesque. However, these terrifying figures couldn’t reach Igor and the others for now, as the fire and thunderstorm had impeded their advance. The network woven by Sol’s Thunderbirds and Spider also effectively trapped the Soul Devourers, preventing them from moving freely. Even those who managed to slightly break free from this web were maimed by Igor and the Mos Brothers!

Igor felt that they had the absolute advantage at this moment. Although there were only five of them, compared to their opponent who outnumbered them vastly, it was like comparing heaven and earth—but just the few of them managed to beat their opponent to this state!

What could the Soul Devourer Master be thinking now? Was he frightened by this scene? Igor couldn’t help but wonder as he unleashed waves of Sword Qi, feeling that all the pent-up frustration within him was now completely released—it was truly exhilarating!

This was all thanks to Sol; his powerful move reduced their opponent to such a pitiful state.

The creatures within the flames were struggling, and hopefully, the Soul Devourer Master was among them!

Igor was extremely excited; he didn’t know why, perhaps because he felt thrilled to have a teammate like Sol. After all, Sol’s grand move was absolutely spectacular!

From the very beginning, when the Myriads of Thunder Birds rushed towards the Soul Devourers, Igor thought Sol’s skills were truly magnificent. Even just deploying such skills could instill great fear in the opponent!

The Soul Devourers were heavily damaged at this moment and would likely take a long time to recover. The rules of this Border Realm might soon change.

Igor’s thoughts began to wander far; he even forgot his original purpose of coming here!

The Soul Devourer Master was also in the Sea of Fire at this moment, indeed surprised by Sol’s Fury Thunder. He never expected such power from this grand move!

But he wasn’t worried about their situation because these Soul Devourers were his underlings, everything about them was his. Even if only a remnant of consciousness remained, he could still transform the Soul Devourers’ powers into his own!

It’s simple; he just had to devour them one by one. They originally grew stronger by devouring, and without it, they might still just be a group of Wandering Consciousnesses, drifting like air in the Border Realm.

Now these Soul Devourers were merely on fire, nothing too serious; the control over these Soul Devourers remained in his hands. Besides, he believed no matter how Sol changed and unleashed grand moves, it wouldn’t affect him at all, because he simply didn’t care about these Soul Devourers—they were just his tools, and he couldn’t care less about their condition.

If these tools were broken, he’d just go find some new ones. He wasn’t like those Resistors, always haunted by gains and losses, indecisive, unable to achieve anything significant!

The Soul Devourer Master walked out of the Sea of Fire, gradually forming a protective circle around himself like Sol. The previous Yellow Energy Circle had been shattered by Sol, and now he brought forth a new protective circle, this time in red!

The red energy circle made him less conspicuous within the Sea of Fire. However, his steady movements exposed his identity, whereas most of the flaming Soul Devourers moved erratically, unable to walk methodically through the Sea of Fire like the Soul Devourer Master.

This exposure made Sol and the others immediately alert. Of course, they understood that the Soul Devourer Master couldn’t be defeated so easily. Seeing him strolling calmly in the Sea of Fire, he clearly had a deep understanding of the spell and might know a way to counter it.

So they needed to remain vigilant at all times.

While they held the upper hand at the moment, in reality, they didn’t have much of an advantage because their opponent, the Soul Devourers, couldn’t be trapped by thunder and fire. The Soul Devourers couldn’t be eliminated, as they would continuously devour, regroup, and reappear before them.

Sol’s powerful move only masked their real disadvantage, easing the plight after being surrounded.

The Soul Devourer Master raised his hands, prompting the Soul Devourers to start devouring each other. The bodies crushed by flames and thunder were gradually consumed by the remaining Soul Devourers... Old things fell, eaten by the remnants, forming new creatures—a truly loathsome, unsolvable state!

"I told you, your resistance is meaningless. In this Border Realm, the title of Resistor will disappear!" the Soul Devourer Master became more rampant, his words grew increasingly insolent!

"Our resistance is meaningful!" Igor immediately retorted, filled with hatred for the Soul Devourer Master!

"The meaning is for my reference, ultimately deciding who stays and who gets devoured!" the arrogant Soul Devourer Master continued, his tone filled with disdain, dismissing people entirely.

"Don’t get too arrogant!" Igor fumed!

Sol remained silent. He was naturally well aware of the situation; though his grand move was impressive, it merely delayed the inevitable advance of the Soul Devourers.

This rhythm was very important to Sol.

Because he was waiting!

The number of Soul Devourers in this Border Realm is vast, but there are no fewer Resistors. After such a long accumulation, the number of Resistors gradually increased, and in this Border Realm, the Resistors could communicate with Sol!

Sol was waiting for these Resistors!

He knew that even though the Soul Devourers launched a large-scale attack earlier, catching many Resistors off guard, and many organizations were destroyed by those damn Soul Devourers.

Yet Sol believed there were many Resistors who hid at crucial moments!

Now these Resistors were donning their battle robes, running towards the only Sea of Fire in the entire Border Realm.

These Resistors would surely arrive here, Sol firmly believed.

After all, they shared the same beliefs, so at this moment, they should have the same internal conviction...

Sol glanced at the sky glowing red from the flames, recalling the tune often sung by the Resistors in the Border Realm: In times of crisis, stand together, shoulder to shoulder, back to back, defeating the enemy at all costs!
