The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1393 - 405: Pride and Fire_2

How dare this guy!

The long-lost whisper of madness reappeared in his mind.

'Stop wasting words on him; that's the whisper of a madman, kill him!'

Laughing out of extreme anger, Arist's expression gradually twisted, and then suddenly erupted into an unprecedentedly piercing laughter.

Ophelia and the others looked at him in astonishment, watching this usually genteel professor suddenly tear off his approachable mask, revealing a face more ferocious than a beast!

That was no ordinary beast—

But a beast that, through bloody combat, had finally ascended to the top of the food chain in a primitive jungle where there was no order or mercy!

The gaze piercing towards Colin was like a blizzard howling across the Northern Wilderness, bringing nothing but the most bone-chilling cold.

"Roxey Colin, I must admit! You are the true arrogance! In understanding the talent of 'arrogance,' my shallow experience is not even one ten-thousandth of yours. You can infuriate me with just a slight show of your insolence and conceit, hahaha!"

Watching Arist burst into laughter, Luo Yan sighed lightly with regret.

"If that's how you insist on thinking, there's nothing I can do. I suppose even a god cannot save every soul."

"Indeed, that's not the work of gods... Our work is to destroy the 'old order' and then define the 'new order.'"

Arist's lips curled into a smile, suddenly retracting that exaggerated laughter, returning to a courteous expression.

"Today! For the decaying empire, it will surely be a day of mourning, for it shall lose a duchess and a prince! But don't be sorrowful; I will weave a mournful story for you, as your epitaph!"

Looking at the terrified, retreating magic apprentices and the indifferent prince, Arist feigned compassion, lightly sighed, and then elegantly lifted his wand-holding right hand, as if a conductor signaling the start of a symphony.

There were no incantations, nor any brilliance, yet the spell was already complete!

Ilana and Ophelia and the others felt the surrounding air instantly become thick like mercury, an invisible force assaulting them from all directions, compressing their bodies!

Making it difficult for them to even breathe!

"Is this... space magic?"

Hard spoke with difficulty, feeling as if he were sealed in transparent amber, every bone groaning.

"No, it's more advanced than that..."

Arist savored the fear on their faces and leisurely explained, "This is the use of 'source power,' directly adjusting the world's rules."

"You may consider me the world's moderator, and you are the 'errors' violating the laws, meant to be corrected."

Unfortunately, he had not yet reached demigod level.

Otherwise, he could have integrated the understanding of rules into a "domain" to more thoroughly redefine the world's rules!

Countless invisible "law lines" emerged from the void, like the sharpest scalpels, silently slicing toward Luo Yan's limbs and throat.

In the face of this power approaching the world's origin, neither physical nor magical barriers could withstand it, being cut to shreds like sandcastles!

Yet facing this deadly situation that would leave even a platinum-level mage helpless, Prince Colin's face showed no ripple at all.

He didn't even dodge, simply waved the wand inexplicably lying on his fingertips, and the thousands of barely detectable threads disintegrated like a spider's web stirred by flames.

Arist's eyes widened slightly, watching in disbelief as his lethal strike was effortlessly neutralized.

How is this possible?!

"...I don't know where you got the confidence to think your power is nearing the so-called 'origin of the world.'"

Luo Yan smiled, softly speaking as he looked at the wide-eyed Arist.

"The so-called source power is nothing but the origin you have defined. No matter what you call that power, even if you name it 'Truth,' it is far from the true origin. It's fine to study the essence of the world with it, but never deceive yourself."

At the same time, the pressure on Ophelia and the others abruptly lessened.

The crushing pressure that could crush steel vanished into thin air, the viscous air regained its flow, and those deadly "law lines" broke inch by inch in mid-air, turning into harmless magic light dots, scattering like fireflies on a summer night.

The people gasped for air like drowning individuals surfacing.

Ophelia raised her head, intending to retort Professor Arist's earlier rude declaration, but met a pair of deep purple eyes, playfully winking at her.

Like a butterfly she had chased all the way.

"Take my students away from here; it's up to you."

Ophelia's cheeks flushed slightly, but soon her gaze turned firm and sharp, nodding vigorously as she silently responded.

"Mm!"

Eye contact ended, she grabbed Ilana's hand, gave Hard and Bain a look, signaling them to take the unconscious Lassitina and the others, quietly leaving from here.

However, their movements still caught Professor Arist's attention, his expression twisting as he waved his wand again, attempting to keep these hostages here, forcing Prince Colin to have qualms.

"I didn't permit you to escape."

"I did."

Luo Yan certainly wouldn't let this guy succeed.
