Volume 4, Chapter 63 – Are You Looking For Me?

「The plan could work.」

Tianyin’s suggestion was just about the best choice for the current situation.

Although Samael, relying on the power of the Seven Original Sins, could deal with the Demon Lords in front of them with great ease, there were still quite a lot of Demon Lords. Taking them down one by one would be rather troublesome.

If it was one on one, these Demon Lords were no match for Samael at all, but if they all made a move together, then even Samael had to spare some thought for them.

After all, Tianyin’s body had been strengthened by the Seven Original Sins and possessed Throne-tier strength, yet for some reason, her body was still far too fragile.

For example, just yesterday, a single tail sweep from the Black Dragon King had already gravely injured Tianyin, so in order to keep Tianyin from getting hurt, Samael had also started to fight more carefully.

「As long as we can restrain those Demon Lords for one second, I am very confident I can wipe them out with a single strike.」

Samael’s voice sounded extremely confident.

『Mm, after this, Samael, you just need to communicate with Xiaobingxue directly…』

「Mm.」

Samael gave a short reply, and in the middle of the battle, swung the knight’s sword in her hand in a fierce horizontal arc toward the Demon Lords in the other directions.

Countless blood-red rays surged along the sword’s blade, then in an instant wove into a gigantic net, sweeping toward the Demon Lords and blotting out the sky.

As a Throne-tier being, Samael suddenly launched a fierce assault, which made the Demon Lords start dodging on reflex. Taking advantage of the opening while the Demon Lords were evading, Samael controlled Tianyin’s body and moved close to Xiaobingxue, who was standing on the other side.

“Suu… Xiaoyin.”

“Xiaobingxue, in a bit I’m going to trouble you to restrain all those Demon Lords… even just one second is enough…”

Unaware of Samael’s existence, Xiaobingxue did not understand why Tianyin suddenly said that to her. Yet out of her unconditional trust in Tianyin, Xiaobingxue still nodded and agreed.

“Mm… got it.”

Saying that with a blank face that somehow made her look very obedient, Xiaobingxue’s expression turned especially serious after Samael controlled Tianyin’s body and left.

She gathered herself.

Her calm, ice-blue eyes locked onto the positions of the eighteen Demon Lords in front of her, and after confirming their locations in an instant, faintly shimmering, crystal-clear shards of ice began to flicker into existence in the space around Xiaobingxue.

At the same time, further away, around those Demon Lords, the temperature also dropped sharply at the exact same moment the anomaly appeared beside Xiaobingxue.

The air in this stretch of sky had been baked bone-dry by demonic flames, yet as the temperature suddenly plunged, lines of ice crystals started spreading over the Demon Lords’ bodies with sharp crackling sounds.

“What… What is this…”

They had just barely managed to avoid Samael’s attack. Before these Demon Lords could even catch their breath, ice crystals started climbing all over their bodies.

It was more than that. Some Demon Lords, noticing the temperature around them drop sharply, tried to ignite demonic flames to raise the heat, but under the ice crystals that kept spreading over their bodies, their demonic flames could not burn at all.

“This isn’t ordinary magic… this is Frost Power!”

Very soon a demon understood what this eerie power actually was, yet what those demons could hardly believe was that right as they figured it out, the ice formed by Frost Power had already completely wrapped around the Demon Lords.

However, just after Frost Power had bound those Demon Lords in ice, countless cracks started racing wildly across the ice.

As if in the next second, the demons trapped in the ice would shatter it and break free.

『Samael!』

There was no doubt that trapping the Demon Lords was Xiaobingxue’s doing. At the same time Xiaobingxue successfully bound those Demon Lords, Tianyin instinctively called out to Samael.

「It’s ready—」

Samael answered softly, and in the eyes of outsiders, Tianyin’s body was already shrouded in blood-red light at this moment.

Unlike when activating the Victory Golden Sword, where countless motes of light converged, this time it was the power belonging to the Seven Original Sins alone that was frantically gathering at the tip of the knight’s sword in her hand.

Boom—!

The surrounding space began to cave in under the strain, and the enormous blood-red beam of light directly covered the entire sky.

Because Samael had reminded Mihiel beforehand, Mihiel had already retreated early, so in front of Samael there was no one else aside from the Demon Lords restrained by Xiaobingxue.

The instant that sky-covering beam appeared, the Black Dragon King, who was still hidden in the dark making preparations, frowned.

“Those Demon Lords are going to be dealt with just like that? Truly unreliable…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Dragon King who had just been muttering to himself in place vanished in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, that sky-covering beam was finally swung down by Samael.

Where the beam passed, space itself was relentlessly torn apart, and beneath the beam, the Demon Lords that Xiaobingxue had bound were just managing one after another to break free from the restraints of Frost Power.

“Hahahahahaha, so this Frost Power was nothing much after all, it could only hold me for the blink of an eye!”

A demon could not help laughing in arrogant delight, but the laugh cut off abruptly the moment this Demon Lord saw the massive beam dropping from the sky.

“I…”

“Run!”

In Tianyin’s field of view, those Demon Lords who all possessed Legendary strength turned into pitiful dogs, scattering in all directions under the enormous beam as they tried to flee.

Yet in front of the swiftly descending attack, those attempts to escape were all in vain.

The enormous beam swept over the panic-stricken Demon Lords in a flash, then was driven down hard into the ground by Samael.

The sky dimmed before that strike, and the instant the beam touched the earth, the land split open. When the blood-red beam faded away, a long, bottomless chasm had appeared on the ground.

Up in the sky, the Demon Lords that the beam had brushed past so easily lost all life in that instant and then dropped powerlessly out of the air.

“We… did it…”

Although that one strike had consumed a great deal of power, the results were considerable as well. Almost all of the Demon Lords had died under Samael’s attack.

Her body was a little weak, but by relying on the power of Gluttony, Tianyin could still draw in the power left in the air by the dead Demon Lords to restore her condition.

『Phew… I’m a bit tired, but we can use the time we spend looking for the Black Dragon King to recover our strength, so we can’t rest yet, Xiaoyin…』

Hearing Tianyin’s words, Samael was also about to make a suggestion.

Just as Tianyin was about to say something, however, a light, casual voice suddenly rang out behind her.

“Were you trying to find me… little one…”
