Boom!
In the direction of Tomb Segja, a ray of invisible light wave spread from her wriggling-petal figure.
At Grimm’s side, although he could vaguely feel something over Tomb Segja’s side, but because he was close to the Hearkening Whisperer, he was surrounded by walls of Amonro carcasses and couldn’t tell the specific situation.
Vaguely, Grimm sensed that the countless packs of Amonros around the Hearkening Whisperer suddenly became astir. Some Amonros even began to shrink their encirclement.
“Attractive Force!”
Grimm stretched out one arm towards the direction of a faraway Amonro. Under his Attractive Force, the Amonro flew involuntarily towards his direction and it was submerged and killed by hundreds of Fallen Amonros around him.
In the sea of thousands of Demon Hunters surrounding the Hearkening Whisperer Giant, Grimm became one of the insignificant members among them.
Hum…
All of a sudden, a wave of shrilling sound whipped through the air.
Grimm was stunned for a second, and thought of something. “The world’s law chain!” he exclaimed.
Once in the laboratory, when Grimm verified that theory about the heteromorphic marrow having an unlimited extensibility was actually false, he also discovered a characteristic of the world’s law of being breakable.
When some existence in a world exceeded beyond its own rule characteristics, it would cause the rebound of the World’s Original Will. To fight powerful foreign world creatures, the strongest ability of a World Guardian was the World’s Law Chain-Breaking Force.
The World’s Law Chain-Breaking Force was not only a strong strangulation ability, but also a strong sealing ability.
Most of the time, a world was permeated by rules in its corner. The rules were invisible and immaterial. They attached themselves to the unique rhythmic form of their own world and provide rules for activities.
Yet at this moment, a vague and dark force of rules became more and more visible, and gradually surrounded the Hearkening Whisperer.
The Hearkening Whisperer Giant was bounded by continuous diffusion of light waves. She kept staring at the dark and fuzzy rule order with a cautious look.
Up in the sky, Grimm was looking at a rough and vague rule formed by countless small rules twisted together. It looked like a giant hemp rope, with a diameter of more than two meters, slowly swinging through the space beneath.
The rule seemed invisible, but in the eyes of the sorcerers who were extremely sensitive to rules, it was very bright and glaring.
The moment Grimm felt that Law Chain, he naturally thought of the shadow and enigmatic rule of the Shadow World.
The laws of the Sorcerer World were a series of chains linked to each other—they represented the alternation of the sun and the moon and how the four seasons changed.
On the contrary, the Shadow World had eternal daylight and had no four seasons. The form of their rule looked like a hemp rope.
Some Demon Hunters and Soul Slaves were trapped in a space by the Shadow Law. Their bodies exploded as the Law Chain passed by them.
Grimm felt himself floating in the air. It seemed like time had frozen and he couldn’t move an inch.
Although Grimm couldn’t see himself, he knew that his face must be very pale at that moment. The cold sweat on his forehead was falling down little by little—he could do nothing but watch as the Law Chain slowly surrounded the Hearkening Whisperer Giant.
“Enigmatic Shackles!”
At that moment, Grimm heard it—it was the sound of the rules!
It was the harshness, coldness and mystery of the Shadow Law. The Shadow Law had revealed its dignified and commanding nature to all the creatures that were present, conveying its own great will.
‘This kind of feeling…’
Feeling insignificant, worried, and horrified, Grimm thought of the words in his Devil’s Pact. It felt just like some kind of rule order was conveying an unconscious will via a mysterious form.
At that moment.
The speed of the Enigmatic Shackles was so slow, but in Grimm’s eyes, the world seemed to be losing its color gradually and started to turn monochrome. He felt his body was penetrated by something invisible repeatedly—he was completely static.
Grimm watched helplessly as the Shadow Law slowly surrounded the Hearkening Whisperer and carried out a binding seal mode.
‘I have to do something, I have to do something! I have to fight back!’
There was a feeling of rage within Grimm, yet he couldn’t do a thing. In the vast sky, with the exception of a few senior Demon Hunters who seemed to have broken free from the invisible shackles and struggling intensely, all the other Demon Hunters seemed to be completely frozen in time and space.
It was the same case for the Amonros, Fallen Amonros, and Soul Slaves.
It seemed like any creatures below Level 3 had completely lost the ability to fight back under the commanding presence of the Law.
“Roar!”
As the binding rule got closer and closer, the Hearkening Whisperer Giant roared like a wild beast and seize the thick rope with its pair of giant arms. Its virtual green-light wings flapped intensely to prevent the suppression of the rule.
Boom! Boom!
The ear-piercing sound of elemental explosion never ceased. As the Hearkening Whisperer strengthen her elemental control ability and tried to leverage an even higher level of rule order, an elemental vacuum state appeared.
The nearly two-hundred-meter tall Elemental Giant was grabbing the rope of the Shadow Law and trying to break it by force to prevent being seized. As the giant exerted its force continuously, the dazzling bright spots on its body shined brighter and brighter. Overwhelming elemental forces were constantly breaking through the seal of the Shadow Law.
Roars could be heard from all directions.
Multiple elemental haloes formed a bright and colorful glow, constantly burning the shadow rope in the Elemental Giant’s hand.
Although the ropes of the Shadow Law was narrowing its confinement area, they emitted black smoke under the burning of the colourful glow. The ropes still seemed cold and mysterious yet they weren’t as daunting as before.
Grimm realized that the force which was binding him had gradually ceased its power. He felt as if he could escape from it.
As Grimm was struggling, he suddenly saw something. Under his Mask of Truth, he noticed a long tail with a burning neon-green flame was slowly stretching out from the group of Amonros. The neon green flame was bright and dazzling, yet the Amonros around it weren’t hurt.
The long tail seemed to be hundreds or maybe even thousands of meters. Its movement seemed slow, but when compared to the struggle of the Hearkening Whisperer, it was relatively faster. The long tail stabs towards the direction of the Hearkening Giant.
At the tip of the tail with burning neon green flames, multiple rings of sonic ripples were constantly spreading out.
‘Is this…the true form of the World Lord?
‘This is not due to the extension of time, nor did time freeze. This is because the Mystic Eye’s ability to capture visual in slow motion that I could have a glimpse of the battle between higher-level life forms,’ Grimm came to a realization on his own.
Perhaps, only after Grimm fully mastered Destructive Force and its vibrating frequency of once every eighteenth of a second, could he have the same vision range as such high-level life form.
The gap between a high-level life form and low-level life form was not only their long life span, but also their ability to stretch tiny time units so much that they seemed static, so that they could expand the time axis and cross the boundless void and explore the Endless World.
‘How will the Hearkening Whisperer escape from the crisis in front of her?’
Grimm was anxious and horrified, yet there was nothing he could do.
A loud stab could be heard as the Elemental Giant was impaled by the long tail burning with neon green flames.
“Argh!”
The Hearkening Whisperer Giant could no longer stop the strangulation of the law ropes. In a blink of an eye, the giant was bound and strangled tightly by the ropes.
“We made it?”
A gigantic creature who was about two hundred meters long appeared from the Amonro crowd. It has three tails of different colors, which were respectively burning with neon green, milky white, and golden flames!
Such a gigantic living creature must be the World Lord of this world—the Ancestral Amonro that was mentioned in the information!
As the Ancestral Amonro saw its neon green long tail had pierced the chest of the Hearkening Whisperer, it stabbed two more times with its golden and milky white long tails.
As two waves of sonic ripples spread, more than ten Demon Hunters in that area exploded into bloody mists—only a few Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers kept their bodies intact.
Countless Soul Slaves and Fallen Amonros were killed.
Pffshh! Pffshh!”
The golden and milky white long tail pierce the body of the Elemental Giant once again. Meanwhile, under the strangulation of the law rope, the Elemental Giant roared in hatred and turned into countless burning flames—flying in all directions.
The Hearkening Whisperer’s human form slowly appeared as the Elemental Giant’s figure faded away.
The Hearkening Whisperer raised her head, and with an eerie smile, she yelled, “Astral Twin Spell!”
“Swoosh!”
A male Dark Sorcerer suddenly appeared beside the Hearkening Whisperer. His red eyes stared at the gigantic body of the Ancestral Amonro. A sinister smile that resembled the Dark Sorcerers appeared on the corner of his mouth. As the Hearkening Whisperer raised her magic staff, the male sorcerer followed her movement exactly.
The male and female sorcerers, both had the face features of the Hearkening Whisperer. Although they were different genders, the presence of their soul felt exactly the same.
A loud boom could be heard as a magic ray broke through the layers of clouds in the sky. As the layers of shadow clouds stirred, a beam of the Crimson Sun appeared and light up the land.
Grimm was astonished. ‘Is this…a Clone Sorcery performed based on the knowledge of cell division? A hermaphrodite? Being a Bright and Dark Sorcerer at the same time? I’ve never heard of such strange sorcery!”
With a roar, a two-hundred-meter high Elemental Giant was reborn.
The Elemental Giant had two heads and four arms. It pulled the three long tails of the Ancestral Amonro, and the Ancestral Amonro which was initially confident let out a raging roar.
The three long tails of the Ancestral Amonro wouldn’t escape. As the Ancestral Amonro opened its mouth, a mysterious and pure Enigmatic Energy erupted.
At this time, a roar could be heard from a distance. “Your Majesty, run!”
As the Prophet King roared, a thick layer of Enigmatic Energy wrapped around its huge body. Three ten-meter long giant Wind Sword, Thunder Sword, and Ice Sword were slashed toward the Prophet King’s direction yet it dodged them with ease.
Boom!
A dark-red ray of the Prodigious Shatterer pierced through the sky. Countless Amonros, Demon Hunters, and Soul Slaves on the energy beam were wiped out and gasified. As the energy beam finally landed on the Ancestral Amonro, it completely swallowed the Amonro.
