A Demon's Journey

There was another warrior who passed the Flame Wall set up by Edwin's Azure Flame Dragon Head.

It could be considered inconceivable that two out of those remaining 9 warriors had accomplished this feat.

The first warrior had entered an enlightened state and passed the Flame Wall as his Ardor was boosted at the cost of his lifeforce.

The second warrior had passed the barrier because two of his comrades had created a protective sphere barrier around his body.

This protective sphere was formed by Earth Ardor and Water Ardor.

And the third warrior threw a powerful Fire Blast at the Azure Flame Wall.

When the Fire Blast clashed against the Azure Flame Wall, it created a loud explosion. The Flame Wall stood erect even after the explosion.

Although it appeared undamaged, its energy had naturally been reduced in that part for a few seconds.

The warrior in the protective sphere had used that moment to rush at the barrier, using his Forbidden Skill. The Lightning Flash to pass that Flame Wall.

The earlier attack weakened the Azure Flame Wall's energy. However, the Azure Flame Wall still managed to burn the barrier around this warrior's body. The warrior's skin had begun to burn, but this only motivated him to be even faster.

Thus, he managed to pass this terrifying Azure Flame Wall.

Edwin had used his Spiritual Sense to investigate what was occurring.

'A mysterious energy is at work. It's somehow controlling the situation and preventing me from killing Bernado. Its effect is triggered is every time I want to kill Bernado genuinely.'

Edwin was in utter shock as he realized this. He further thought 'It's as if the World wants to preserve his life.'

'There was no such power during my previous life. What is this that the humans have discovered?! Wait… Is this Bernado's ability or the ability of a Royal Bloodline as a whole? I need to understand this mysterious power more.'

'Let's check out its limits. What would happen if I kill all the warriors who can save Bernado? How would this mysterious power try to prevent me from killing him?'

Edwin grinned as he decided it was time to be on the offensive.

He ignored the warriors in the room as he left their fate up to Bianca and her maid. The Shadow Leopard's Bloodline ability was more than enough to deal with them.

The Shadow Leopard's Bloodline didn't just possess the ability of concealment. Its second ability increased the user's flexibility and speed. And the third ability allowed the user to flare up his power for a short burst and unleash a terrifying technique.

Edwin pulled out a couple of swords from his Purple Ring and shot them at Bernado.

Before Bernado could do anything, his hands and legs were pierced by swords. There were in total 8 swords.

It completely prevented him from moving around.

While he attacked Bernado, Edwin remained attentive as he used his spiritual senses to watch the entire battlefield.

No one had managed to make a move to save Bernado this time. No one experienced a significant boost…

It only verified his guess and slightly delighted him.

'Good. This power does not prevent me from injuring Bernado. It will only trigger if I plan to really kill him. However, if the situation remains the same, he will die of blood loss. The situation might change at that time, and someone might come to save this guy. I need to be quick with this cleanup.'

Edwin was slowly flying in the sky as he glared at those warriors ahead of him.

The rocks were targeted at him, so they slowly no longer targeted the room where Bianca and others were fighting.

The Azure Flame Wall suddenly dispersed along with that Azure Flame Dragon Head.

The warriors were shocked to see this situation occur. However, they consoled themselves by thinking that perhaps these attacks had a time limit and had just passed it.

It would make sense for such strong techniques to have a time limit.

They raised their heads to stare at Edwin, who was flying in the sky.

None of them dared to underestimate Edwin any longer. The techniques he utilized against them were far too strange, and they had never heard or witnessed anything like this before.

Edwin had a wicked smirk on his face as he faced them all.

"It's time to extinguish you all," He whispered while his eyes turned Purple.

The first warrior he planned to kill was the individual in an enlightened state. Needless to say, he was the strongest warrior among them.

Also, Edwin wanted to test another thing.

The other warriors noticed Edwin charging at their comrade. They immediately launched multiple attacks at him in an attempt to damage him.

Edwin's speed was so quick that none of their attacks landed on his body.

Meanwhile, the warrior he intended to fight continued to fly with a solemn expression.

He didn't fear Edwin right now. He was currently overflowing with power. Along with this great power, his mind was constantly thinking of many ways to use this power.

He even arrogantly believed that he was invincible in the 5 Star Rank!

When Edwin was close to his position, he immediately created an Earth Hammer and charged at Edwin with it in his hands.

Edwin's body flashed with Blue Lightning as he suddenly disappeared from his vision.

The warrior remained composed even though he could no longer see Edwin.

Suddenly, a shield of Earth Element was created over his head. And a second later, there was a strong impact on that shield.

It was Edwin's punch on that shield.

The Shield had cracked from that single punch and would probably collapse with another blow

However, the warrior rotated his body posture and immediately struck his own shield with his Earth Hammer.

The Earth Shield could naturally not withstand that blow and collapsed a millisecond later.

The warrior struck his Earth Shield with his Hammer to strike Edwin, who was supposed to be on the other side of the Earth Shield.

What a pity it was for the warrior that he had severely underestimated Edwin's power and speed. He was no longer on the other side.

"Air Cannon!"

The warrior was struck by a strong wind pressured attack from his left.

By the time he created a protective Earth Cover around his body, Edwin was already in another direction, launching another Air Cannon.

This Air Cannon made the warrior puke out blood while he forced himself to remain flying in the air.

The Warrior finally decided to create a protective Earth Dome around his body.

This Earth Dome was supposed to block all attacks from Edwin and allow him to recuperate. It could be considered the best decision in this situation.

This was working as the warrior used his great amount of Ardor to heal his injuries. These injuries were preventing him from reacting efficiently. Once they were healed, he could fight against that opponent with his full power.

Regrettably, Edwin had no intention of giving him this opportunity.

A few minutes later, the warrior felt the temperature in his Earth Dome rising.

Meanwhile, Edwin stared at that Earth Dome that was engulfed by his Azure Flames completely.

This was checkmate for that Enlightened Warrior.

There was no way out of this situation. Even his intuition was going to tell him about this soon enough.

"This is not the first time I am fighting an Enlightened Warrior. An Enlightened warrior's fighting prowess is dependent on his previous experiences and his potential. They make the best decisions while fulfilling these two conditions. Unfortunately, your potential wasn't good enough to be considered a match for me. Your actions are far too easy to predict."

Just after 10 or so seconds, the man burnt to death. His life force had already been burned greatly in the fight earlier, so it was natural for him to die at this point.
