Upon watching this amazing display, Rilos was shocked and looked at Abium, full of vigilance.
"Don't worry; I will always keep my word. Once we return to Silverland City, contact me through the same communication ring." Abium saw the uneasiness on Rilos's face and said with a smile. He then went near Arkos's body and picked up the black-covered book in his hand. After giving one in-depth look, he tossed it into his spatial ring.
After that, Abium began to ponder as he recalled Azolla's explanation about the 'King of the Dead' spell.
'Azolla, do you have that undead plane's coordination?' Abium asked all of a sudden.
Azolla got startled by his sudden question and replied.
'Eh? Yes, kid. Why do you need that?... Don't tell me-'
Before she could finish her words, Abium spoke.
'Yes, I plan to use that to bribe the King.'
Azolla went silent for a second as she heard those words and said,
'Before making a messenger contract, don't say anything about the Chaos power Invasion.'
Abium raised his eyebrows and nodded his head solemnly.
After that, he looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.
'I knew he was watching us all along. It's time to kill the Demon.' Abium muttered inwardly and soon saw a shadow flying at an incredible speed in their direction.
Rilos also followed after his gaze and soon squinted his eyes as he saw the Demon flying in their direction.
Meanwhile, Abium didn't dare to delay any longer, quietly took out his communication ring, and contacted Fennelis.
"Lady Fennelis, Can you ask Cedric and Miss Edith to visit the temple? I might need their help." Abium spoke hurriedly. Abium was always in contact with them in the past few days and knew that Cedric had already breakthrough into a First-tier Warlock through strange means. Moreover, their group had already raided a small abandoned castle, killed three first-tier goblin shamans, and got a few rewards.
"Okay. What about us?" A calm female voice came from the other side.
"It would be better for you and others to stay hidden, My Lady," Abium replied solemnly. He knew Fennelis, Umi, and others were not strong enough even to protect themselves. A single mistake could cost their life. He only asked Edith to accompany Cedric because he wanted her strength as a backup.
After saying so, he ended the call and patiently waited for the shadow figure to arrive.
A tall demonic figure with two crimson wings circled them from above and laughed maniacally with its strange cobra-like head.
Susur arrived above their heads within a few seconds and landed a few meters away.
He wasn't bothered by the two humans' murderous stares and spoke in an abyssal tongue.
"Kneel and beg for mercy, humans!"
Meanwhile, Abium shook his head and looked at the Demon with pitying eyes.
"It seems you forgot the last beating," Abium said calmly, gripping his short Scarlet sword. Simultaneously, he touched his face using his other hand and revealed his true form.
His black hair turned into a blonde one, his light-blue eyes turned into amber, and his ears began to elongate a bit. His facial muscles also twitched, and even his square face became oval!
Demon Susur got stunned as he saw this strange transformation and soon blinked his snake eyes.
'This face...I have seen this human..no..Elf!' An unforgettable memory flashed before his eyes. He instantly identified this elf was also the one who humiliated him a few months ago!
Because of this elf's unexpected arrival, he lost many precious materials and even got demoted to a lesser imp. If not for his hidden card, he would have died under the hands of his enemies in the Abyss!
Rage appeared inside his mind as he remembered this puny mortal's earlier words and sprinted in his direction madly!
He couldn't control his anger for a split moment and went berserk!
At the same time, Rilos felt like lightning had struck him. He clearly remembered a strange Royal elf had interfered with their plan and messed up many things in the past few months.
'Royal elf with an unknown origin... Bilet's death. I also saw him at the Royal castle's entrance during King's death. Then, Teacher Mike also mentioned a strange elf appeared out of nowhere in Fex Dimension, destroyed his body, and even took Tear of Phoenix...' Rilos began to link everything together and felt chills all over.
'It was like we were dancing under his palm all this time!' He got shocked deeply.
'As expected, I'm, No… Even my teacher is no match for him.' Rilos said to himself with a sigh and locked his gaze on the maddened Demon.
While Rilos was racking inside, Abium's lips arched upward.
Without delay, he pointed the Death Cane's tip toward the upcoming Demon and spoke coldly.
"King of the Dead!"
The next moment, the space in front of him began to twist.
Raging spatial energy appeared out of nowhere and formed a two-meter-tall space crack!
Clang!
A metal clanging sound came, and soon a scarlet skeletal hand appeared from that deep bluish void. After that, a two-meter tall scarlet-colored human skeleton came out with a black scythe. It wore a torn black robe and fixed its sharp gaze at Abium with its two deep-blue soul fires.
"You are too weak! Tch. I, the Ripper King, will hear your order for the next five minutes." He opened his bony jaws and said in a Nether language, giving goosebumps to all three.
Abium and Rilos felt a cold sensation swirling around them. The next moment, the space crack began to shrink and soon disappeared from their eyes. At the same time, Ripper King turned his scarlet skull towards Demon Susur, still running in their direction, and slashed his black scythe.
Invisible chilling energy came out of the scythe and started freezing the surroundings. Within a second, all the trees, plants, broken tiles, broken stones and bricks, and other materials around them began to freeze and become covered in ice layers!
Meanwhile, a thin layer of ice covered Susur's body, forcing him to halt his movement.
But soon, the dark crimson wings on his back began to emit fierce heat radiation and melted the ice.
The dark crimson wings helped Susur to resist the ice!
But instead of relief, panic appeared in his eyes.
Susur could tell that the being in front of him was on par with Scylla and got anxious inside.
"I can only restrict his movement for five seconds due to your low spirit power, mage. Use your attack spell and finish him off." Ripper King said motionlessly and snapped its bone fingers.
The next moment, layers of ice began to form around the Demon Susur and completely suppressed his two crimson wings. Not just that, some creepy skeletal hands also crawled out from the ground and gripped Susur's both legs tightly.
Upon seeing this scene, Abium turned his face solemnly and took out a spell scroll and two fire elemental crystals from his spatial ring.
The spell scroll was red and gave off similar heat radiation to the Demon's crimson wings.
It was the 'Sun Bolt' Spell scroll that Abium brought from his teacher!
Without delay, he tore the spell scroll with his hands and tossed one fire-elemental crystal into the newly appeared rune circle.
A second later, the fire-elemental crystal fused into the magic circle and started to take shape. All the fire energy inside it began to condense into a red bolt-like structure and emitted destructive radiation to the surroundings.
Meanwhile, Abium calculated the time and tossed another fire-elemental crystal into the magic circle.
Simultaneously, he quietly activated the 'Stone of Wisdom' ability and aimed the 'Sun Bolt' directly at Susur using his spirit power.
At that moment, the second fire elemental crystal was also fused with the magic circle and created a thin streak of red fire with immense law power hidden in it.
He felt he was standing before a destructive firebolt born to destroy the world itself!
Abium sighed deeply and cast a 'Quick thinking' divine spell on himself.
'Moreover, I'm feeling more comfortable.' While muttering, he entered into a deep-concentration state and started to comprehend the secret hidden in the Sun Bolt subconsciously. Inside the bolt, he saw countless red streaks moving like minute bees and seemed ready to explode at any time. Abium felt his spirit power going down rapidly as he stared at the single streak and felt a light pain.
At the same moment, he noticed that his understanding of the Fire Law began to increase.
No, a change occurred inside his mind!
He began to comprehend a strange law power!
Although similar to the Fire Law, it was a different Law power. The next instant, he noticed that the strange law power had absorbed his own Fire Law and made it on its own.
Without putting much thought into the changes that were happening inside his mind, Abium released the bolt. The next instant, Sun Bolt tore through the air and directly stuck on Susur's chest, which was covered in ice.
After that, the streaks of condensed red lines came out from the Sun bolt and began invading Susur's body everywhere. Abium didn't glance at Susur's miserable state and focused solely on the single streak. Meanwhile, the single streak moved like a flash all over Susur's body and seemed to be continuously merging and separating with other streaks.
When Abium's consciousness returned to normal, Susur's body was bathed entirely in countless red streaks.
Even Ripper King became baffled by the power hidden in the Sun Bolt spell and looked curious at Abium.
Meanwhile, Abium curled his lips upward.
At that moment, he saw a blue notification screen appear before his eyes and grinned.
[Presence of Sun Law has been detected…Due to the similarity in Sun Law, Fire Law has been fused with Sun Law.
Increasing comprehension of Sun Law: 0.6%→0.7%→0.8%]
'Amazing!' Abium muttered, turning his head towards the burning Demon.
Meanwhile, Susur felt miserable as his soul was bathed in red fire streaks and cried. He felt a burning sensation all over his body!
Even though Susur had Sun divinity and crimson wings, which he gained by understanding the power hidden in the Sun divinity, he felt inferior in front of those steaks of red lines.
'If I had used more time to study the secrets hidden in the divinity, I wouldn't be in this state.' Regret appeared in his mind, followed by a loud bang.
A second later, everyone saw that Demon's body exploded into multiple pieces, leaving only a white petal-like thing on the ground.
Upon seeing the divinity, greed appeared in Rilos's and Ripper King's eyes.
But Ripper King shook his red skull as he sensed the abnormal behavior and turned his red skull toward Abium as if waiting for orders.
Meanwhile, Rilos's eyes shone brightly, and he was about to attack Abium but suddenly stopped himself as he remembered this kid's original identity.
'Red Angel of Time!' He backed away instantly while suppressing his greed.
At the same time, Abium didn't dare to delay any longer and asked hurriedly,
"Do you want to sign a messenger contract with me, Mr. Ripper King?"
Ripper King deliberated for a few seconds and spoke,
"What can you offer me to become your messenger?"
Abium was not surprised by his question and replied,
"I have the right coordination to a low undead plane. If you are willing, I will share it with you."
"Humph, if you are sharing that coordination casually means there is also a danger in that plane, right?" He peered at Abium's heart and asked.
Abium, on the other hand, frowned and said impatiently.
"If you are not interested, tell me quickly. If not, I will ask other Kings the next time."
Ripper king chuckled at Abium's response and spoke while taking a scroll from an empty void.
"Your acting is not bad, kid. Well, I already planned to sign a messenger contract, so don't worry."
Ripper King tossed the black scroll towards Abium and gestured him to read it carefully as he finished his words.
Meanwhile, Abium caught the scroll skilfully and opened it to read the contract's content.
It was written in the Nether Language. Abium carefully began to see if there were any loopholes and also asked Azolla to check.
After two minutes, Abium nodded and signed the contract using a quill pen.
The second later, the scroll began to burn fiercely in bluish flame and completely disappeared from there. After that, Abium sent the Undead plane's proper coordination through his Spirit Power to the Ripper King and then took a deep breath.
"Good. From now on, I'm your contracted messenger." Ripper King said while nodding his red skull and tossing a black orb toward Abium.
Upon seeing Abium's puzzled look, he added,
"That orb has information about the correct ritual method to summon me from Underworld."
Once Ripper King saw Abium nod his head, he slashed his scythe and walked into the deep void which appeared out of nowhere.
Meanwhile, Abium let out a long relief sigh, stored the Black orb into his spatial ring, and walked towards the divinity.
