I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Centered on him, a nauseating and chilling otherworldly law unfolded, filling the space with an aura comparable to hell.

"【The Nighttime Journey of a Murderer—!】"

The domineering otherworld spread outwards from itself, seemingly permeated with an aura of endless bloodshed and killing intent.

After the blood-red mist dissipated, the man seemed to vanish into the void, his presence and aura completely disappearing, merging seamlessly with the night of his carnage.

Using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which Reiji casually created and bestowed upon him, as a relic, this man's desire for revenge and slaughter against the Apostles was pure and unadulterated; he completely regarded himself as a deadly sword.

He once had a perfect family, with parents, a wife, and a newborn daughter, but everything was destroyed after an entity called the Crimson World Apostle entered his life.

After his shattering, he became a complete madman, and his training under Reiji perfectly met the requirements of the Eternal Destruction Mental Illness.

His thoughts and desires were very simple.

Crimson World Apostles? Kill! ...

The opponent's domineering nature is very clear, somewhat similar to Jack the Ripper's Noble Phantasm, the Disintegrating Mother, in the Type-Moon universe.

Once he enters an unobservable fog state, he will only become visible for a brief moment during an attack, and his attacks will shatter into pieces once they hit the target.

The lines and points of death in the vision of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception will forcibly appear like stigmata along the area of ​​attack.

Every strike deals true damage that cannot be healed. Although it is not instant death, not many apostles and demon kings survive being hit by it.

"choke--!"

The cold, sharp blade light pierced through the crimson mist of killing intent. The moment the murderer appeared, countless blade beams swept across, freezing the faces of all the apostles within the territory of the domineering otherworld.

"Pfft—!"

The first sound of flesh being torn in two rang out, and even the flames of existence were cut apart.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The first apostle, now shattered into pieces, let out a mournful wail.

"Bang!"

Then, the bloody holes pierced by the dagger on his body began to burst open, revealing dense spiderweb-like cracks. Next, the apostle's body, cut in half, exploded, causing the fireworks formed by the power of existence to bloom and illuminate the earth.

"Jiejiejie..."

The killer's chilling, sinister laugh sent shivers down the spines of even the apostles, and the Flame Haze and the Demon King, who were allies, felt a chill run down their spines.

Because the scene before them was too horrifying.

The apostles who were holding them back just a second ago are now frozen in place like wooden figures after being slashed by the cold blade.

Even the power of existence circulating within their bodies ceased. Incredulity appeared on their faces as cracks spread from the points where they had been stabbed. In a short time, their bodies turned into several pieces of flesh burning with the flames of existence, which fell to the ground.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! I'm planning to bring out some members of the Dawn faction next. I'm going to make a certain lieutenant who's always being fed dog food by the Xingyue couple! I'm going to have Nightwalker, who's also a God of Death, fight Michelle.................

Chapter 43, The Great Destiny Poems, Matilda's Unrequited Lover

"Someone has actually reached the level of Creation!"

On the battlefield, compared to the bewildered Flame Haze warriors, the demons were incredibly excited and envious, and then rushed forward after the Killer Demon carved a path through them.

Of course, none of them stepped into the sphere of influence of the murderer who was having a good time killing.

On the other side of the battlefield, Matilda and Wilhelmina Carmel also sensed something, their astonishing strength allowing them to directly see the killer unleashing his domineering laws.

"That is......"

Wilhelmina's eyes narrowed, and her body instinctively felt a chill run down her spine at the sight of that domineering man. If she could, she would absolutely not want to step into the range of his blood mist.

After seeing the apostles who died in extremely gruesome ways, his feelings were even stronger.

"That is the realm of the [Creation] level. Although it is the first time I have opened it and I am still a little unfamiliar with it, it is an otherworldly law that was born specifically for killing."

Wearing a night cape, Matilda's eyes gleamed as she saw another demon reach the third rank.

Although the scope seemed small to her, the existence of that rank already posed a considerable threat to her.

"To be able to create laws that resemble another world centered on oneself, what an amazing secret technique!"

The fireball floating behind Matilda also looked at the astonishing scene before her with a tone of utter shock and awe.

Regarding the Eternal Destruction Creation Rank, Alastor had heard Matilda tell Wilhelmina about it; it was a rank belonging to the ultimate techniques of demons.

Upon reaching that rank, the shape of the artifact will change, and the user will gain a powerful ultimate technique that merges the artifact with their own spiritual desires.

In reality, the demon manifests his desires, fanaticism, and obsessions, transforming them into a "different world" with vastly different rules.

In Alastor's eyes, the murderer who initiated creation was simply forcibly ravaging the original laws of the world, forcibly shaping them into the form he desired.

This is a domineering creation that is directed outwards. At this level, the user's abilities are judged as either seeking the Way or dominating the Way, depending on their individual factors.

The Seeking the Way type of creation is an introspective creation that transforms oneself into an independent otherworld. Using it will grant the user a very powerful buff.

For example, those who seek enlightenment internally can transform their physical body into lightning, thereby gaining an incredibly powerful boost to their combat strength.

The domineering type of creation, on the other hand, uses its own desires to erode the outside world, through summoning, alienation, or attack.

This killer's law is the domineering type, focusing on a single, decisive blow and efficient killing—a law of another world.

"We must increase the frequency of our attacks. If the enemy manages to devour the city, then this campaign will have failed."

Although she was somewhat bothered by others achieving something before her, Matilda wasn't the type to be jealous of others. The fact that others did better than her only fueled her indomitable fighting spirit.

"boom--!"

A crimson armored gauntlet appeared on her left arm, and after the emerald green gem lit up, Matilda's body erupted with immense energy.

The crimson flames formed a Crimson Lotus Knights force of tens of thousands of well-equipped soldiers, who launched their first attack by throwing javelins.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

Flames ripped through the sky, and with a faint whooshing sound, streaks of fire fell to the earth.

Matilda's flames, and the flames of her knights, require no chanting, mechanisms, or props.

The ability to unleash flames with a mere thought, without any cause or process, simply leads to a result; therefore, such flames do not need to obey the laws of physics.

"【GáeBolg!】"

Matilda invoked the true name of the magic spear from Celtic mythology, employing the 'little trick' of reversing cause and effect that Reiji had once taught her with a light laugh.

Countless fiery meteor spears rained down from the sky, striking the Crimson World Apostles with terrifying speed, either before they could react or when they had no way to dodge.

"Pfft—!"

Amidst the piercing sound, an unfortunate Crimson Apostle didn't even have time to react before his chest and heart were pierced, scattering countless hot, blood-like sparks.

Although the apostles possess physical forms and their hearts cannot be destroyed, Matilda was well aware of this.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—!"

One after another, violent explosions rang out, causing countless huge mushroom clouds of fire to burst open in all directions of the battlefield.

The blazing crimson shockwave unleashed countless fiery meteors, annihilating numerous Crimson World Apostles within the splash damage area and turning them into ashes. The remaining power of their existence was devoured by Matilda amidst the Apostles' clenched teeth and hateful gazes.

"what…!"

"No…!"

One by one, the apostles who were not hit by the javelins but were affected by the splash damage screamed in agony as if they were racing to be the first to be hit.

They only felt a sharp pain where the flames touched them, and then the eerie flames crawled all over their bodies like maggots clinging to their bones.

The sensation was like being burned by a white phosphorus bomb, experiencing excruciating heat and agony, before the screams and consciousness were instantly extinguished.

In the blink of an eye, streaks of flaming javelins rained down, bombarding the entire battlefield and instantly killing tens of thousands of apostles.

........

"That damned demon, which woman is he?!"

With Matilda's all-out army offensive, only a few minutes had passed, and the casualties at the Funeral Bells had skyrocketed at an exponential rate.

Besides the initial murderous demon who awakened, several other demons who were driven to desperation also reached the realm of creation. Those different and terrifying otherworldly laws, whether seeking the Dao or dominating the world, caused the Crimson World Apostles a great deal of suffering.

In the early stages of the war, the uncertainty and destructiveness brought by the demons were truly astonishing. Even though the Funeral Bell had nine top-tier Crimson Lords, it still felt immense pressure.

The number of Flame Haze and Demons is a hundred times that of the Funeral Bell, and their high-end combat power is no less than that of the nine Crimson Lords of the Nine Heavens.

Those who can sign a contract with the Flame Mist are all "Kings," meaning that unless the Apostles' existence has reached a certain limit, or even possess unique free magic and concepts.

Otherwise, in a direct confrontation, the Apostles have little chance of defeating the Flame Haze, though a novice Flame Haze might have a better chance.

Moreover, demon lords usually choose the most virtuous among humans, people with a very promising future. Before being sacrificed to the Crimson World Demon Lord, these individuals have the potential to become leaders in various fields in the human world.

Even as a novice Flame Haze, such a person is not someone that an ordinary Apostle could easily defeat.

As for the demons, they were chosen by a mysterious Rhine, so they were naturally not ordinary people. Most of them were mentally unstable or paranoid, and their hatred for the Crimson Denizens was even greater than that for the Flame Haze.

The battlefield is currently very unfavorable for the Funeral Bell. Flame Haze warriors can recover their strength by resting, and the demons are all becoming more and more courageous as they fight. Some of the more talented ones are even becoming stronger as they fight.

As for rest? Killing one or two apostles is enough to replenish my stamina, so there's no need to rest.

This is also why the apostles and demon kings dislike demons; their existence is solely for killing, making them far more troublesome than fire mist.

The Demon King and his apostles of the Funeral Bell need to expend a great deal of their life force just to maintain their own existence, let alone engage in such a fierce battle.

The Crimson Demon King of the Nine Libras is currently struggling, having defeated the Ring of Darkness, Asis, and they are still fighting with all their might.

They would be considered victorious if the Devouring City operation succeeded.

With numerous enemies and the disadvantageous strength of the berserkers, a purely defensive approach, while initially providing an advantage, ultimately proved insufficient.

In the face of Flame Haze's gauntlet battles and the unpredictable disruptions of the battlefield by the Devil Trigger, defeat seems quite obvious.

After suffering more than half of their casualties, the members of Jiu Gai Libra each took their own and began to retreat to the last line of defense.

Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers above the battlefield, members of the masquerade ball were also observing the battlefield.

At this moment, a beautiful and delicate young girl was watching the battle from afar using her magic.

The petite girl wore a white hat the size of a conical hat and a cloak of the same color.

Clear, or rather, serene eyes gazed at the battlefield reflected in the free-flowing water mirror, while her hands, hanging limply in front of her, held a tin staff.

There were apostles acting as guards around and behind her. At this moment, the tall woman floating next to the petite girl spoke.

"Hecate, it seems the battlefield situation is very unfavorable for the Funeral Bell. I didn't expect those demons to be able to unleash such power that makes the 'King' tremble."
