When the Ice Sphere opened up, more than ten spears flooded inside; all of them were imbued with Jashua's abilities. The three former Holy Ice Sheikhs personally used their protection abilities when their combined technique was broken, but it was in vain.
It was impossible for them to stop the blood spears that shattered their combined technique of the three; the spears hitting their bodies that were about to collapse passed right through, leaving massive damage behind.
The Seven Eternals returned to where they started after a very short time; they were being humiliated on the stage they stepped onto as trump cards.
"No way!"
"They weren't this strong!"
"What kind of technique does that kid have!"
Gathering in front of Eyshan, they were assessing the situation, but everyone could hear what they were saying.
"The glorious sects of the Hell Realm; Holy Fire, Holy Ice, Holy Earth, and Holy Eye. How does it feel to wake up from a long dream?"
The old man who was Aspero's master answered on behalf of the Holy Blood; his power animal split in two was right beside him.
"If it weren't for the orders of the First Sheikh of our sect, could even one of you have continued to exist? Do you think you have the right to be called by the same name alongside the sect of the man who brought an entire continent to its knees all by himself back in the day?
For centuries we ignored your arrogance, we just waited and got stronger. We watched the enemy forget us and establish dominance using you. We built a new world in the Other Realm, passing our genes from generation to generation to raise the strongest disciples.
While you thought the Holy Blood Sheikhs were handing over their thrones by dying, they were laying the foundations of new generations in the Other Realm, far away from your pathetic conspiracies.
If Eyshan hadn't spoiled the game we wouldn't have come out, but she didn't hesitate to become one with the enemy; she even sacrificed her own family for this cause. Isn't that right, Queen of the Hell Realm?"
When the old man's words were cut short, everyone along with him fell silent; the eyes of the Eternals turned to the person at the focal point of the accusations.
"My, you sure know a lot, old man!"
Eyshan's seductive laughter rang across the square; the two fiends waiting behind her slowly stepped in front of her.
"Knowing this much is not always a good thing. Since you have realized who I truly am, it is time for all of you to die.
Activate the technique!"
The Fiends drew two diagrams with the energies leaking from their fingers, two diagrams blacker than the night. After the drawing was completed, Eyshan took a step forward and channeled fire energy into the diagrams with both hands.
When the black drawings turned fire red, the seven Eternals trying to cling to life dropped to their knees; blood was spurting from every hole in their bodies.
"Useless wretches, look at the result of us feeding you all these years?"
"They were always weak! Don't be mad at them!"
The Two Fiends were speaking for the first time; their voices were muffled and their tone was blood-curdling.
"The Master ordered us to handle this!"
"His orders are absolute; the result of failure is death!"
When the hoods covering their faces came off, revealing what they looked like, one of the Fiends was a man, the other a woman; there was a bizarre tattoo on their faces. Actually, even though it looked like a tattoo, when looked at closely, the shapes formed as a result of their skin being burned made one's skin crawl.
"Eyshan, complete the technique!"
There was neither Queen of Hell nor any other title; they were addressing the long-faced woman only by her name.
"Of course, Apostles!"
Eyshan shattered the diagrams by channeling her energy; at the same time, the bodies of the Eternals were also torn apart, and all the leaking energies surrounded the Queen of Hell. Within no more than ten breaths, the hair of Eyshan, who absorbed the energies she wore like armor, started fluttering in the windless night. Anyone with eyes to see could understand her power had risen tremendously.
"Power transfer completed!"
"It's time to kill the others! We will only leave the little girl alive; only she can open the path leading to the Other Realm!"
The people Eyshan addressed by the title of apostle were reckless while talking among themselves, but what they failed to see was that the disciples of the Holy Blood Sect had become a shield in front of Lareina.
"The rats have come out of their holes, prepare for the hunt!"
The Third Elder of the Holy Blood raised his weapon in the air; he could hold the massive axe above his head with a single hand.
"Couldn't the man they call Master come himself? Are we going to have to cut these down instead?"
"Be careful! They have been suppressing their energies for a long time!"
While the Sheikhs from the Other Realm assessed the situation, the people most disturbed by the subject were Lareina's parents.
"Abarran, we can't lose another daughter!"
"Fear not Isabel! Nothing like that will happen!"
While the Legendary Artisan Abarran spoke, his body started to be covered in copper-colored armor; his fists were golden yellow. Energy was bursting from Abarran's body, which had grown exhausted in his century of captivity; the shabby-looking man had entered combat mode.
Eyshan had finished absorbing the energies of the Eternals, but her eyes were on the three sheikhs who died at the hands of the orcs. Their bodies lay on the ground; there was no energy coming out.
No matter how much she searched, she couldn't find a single crumb of energy belonging to them, and she wasn't going to either. The moment they gave their lives, number one of the Elite Ten had stolen their energies using his totem, leaving none for anyone else.
Realizing she couldn't get any stronger, Eyshan drew her sword and started advancing towards the Holy Blood ranks; the two Apostles were right beside her.
"The Master took care of me when everyone turned their backs on me. Even when they made my brother the heir, and when the bitch named Mora surpassed me in every field, he saw me. Did I kill my family, yes, but they had long stopped being my family. My only family is the Master, and today I will take your lives in his name!"
The long-faced woman shot forward; to back up her words, her sword was blazing, but she was about to be hit by a blood arrow coming from her right side. Even though Eyshan noticed it at the last moment, she was able to change direction in mid-air; she dodged it as if her feet were on the ground.
"So, I was surpassing you in every field, huh Eyshan!"
A shrill girl's voice echoed in the wide square! In the area where the orc front was located, someone with long red hair was waiting with her bow drawn.
"You are not her. You can't fool me!"
Even though Eyshan's eyes widened so much they were about to pop out of their sockets, she didn't retreat!
"Yes, I am not her, but actually, she isn't herself either! Do you want to see the true owner of this body?"
Nafız in Nora disguise began to change shape; the dazzling human girl emerged as an orc woman a few breaths later.
"Before the bandits you sent after me could take my life, I managed to bind myself to one of the dungeons. My body died, but a hundred years later an orc managed to inherit my consciousness.
Now she is letting me use her body for my final wish! Come on Eyshan, it's time to settle the score between us!"
