Anger rose like a tide in Archfiend Antigonus. He reasoned that he could easily waste time with the Fighters of The Twelve Stars after using the Tyrants of the Sky fiend. It had not occurred to him that they would be carrying inner cores from enchanted beasts.When Archfiend Antigonus approached, the Fighters of The Twelve Stars looked at each other and did not back down. They moved their bodies quickly to counteract him.The fight started again. All the Hidden Hero Sect disciples were worried about the Fighters of the Twelve Stars. Even though the fighters had already consumed the enchanted beast's inner core to replenish their internal energy, Archfiend Antigonus' armor was also powerful.It was hard to tell who would be the last one standing.At that moment, Ambrose was looking at the fight. He wanted to join the fight to help the Fighters of the Twelve Stars. However, he needed to recover from his severe injuries first.'It would be nice if Father is here. He'll know how to de
'What should I do? If something bad happens to His Excellency, the fiend race will disappear totally. The baby and I can't revive the fiend race by ourselves.'Morticia's mind was a jumble at the time. She bit her lip when she saw a mountain ahead and landed quickly on the peak. She then returned her gaze to the Hidden Hero Sect's headquarters.The sky above the Hidden Hero Sect was overcast. The fighting raged on incessantly. She saw Archfiend Antigonus fighting with the Fighters of The Twelve Stars in copper armor.'The Tyrant of the Sky Fiend… His Excellency had used the Tyrant of the Sky Fiend,' she thought.Her body trembled, and her pretty face looked worried. Other people could not tell, but as one of the twelve Fiend Martyrs, she knew that Archfiend Antigonus was forced into a hopeless situation. He would not have otherwise used the Tyrant of the Sky Fiend so easily.The Tyrant of the Sky Fiend consumed the Power of the Fiend Soul very quickly.Once she knew Archfiend Ant
Heather's eyes were angry as she yelled the questions. When Morticia heard that, she looked embarrassed. It was awful of her to return here after she promised to leave.She paused briefly before responding to Heather, "Don't worry. I'll keep my promise. I won't hurt the people from the Hidden Hero Sect and Carter Mansion. I just want to rescue His Excellency."Her plan was to break the formation and leave with Archfiend Antigonus. She would not stay a minute longer after that. It did not count as a breach of the oath if she only helped to break the formation and not hurt anyone from the Hidden Hero Sect.Heather was stunned and did not know how to react.'Break the formation?' Ambrose, Chester, Dax, and the rest frowned.Even Archfiend Antigonus was helpless when faced with the Battle of The Star Formation. How could a subordinate of his know how to break the formation?"Morticia!" Archfiend Antigonus looked at Morticia as his eyes sparkled with viciousness. "Didn't you escape wi
"Magaera!"Antigonus' gaze grew murderous at the jeering, and his anger grew by the second.Magaera had killed countless Fiend folk during the battle between the gods and Fiend race, and he had only been second in power then to the Nine Heavens Emperor. Seeing him made Antigonus restless.While Magaera was enraged and shocked, Antigonus was also slightly worried.That was not good.The Battle of the Star Formation was already enough of a problem for Antigonus. Then, Master Magaera had brought the Godly Region soldiers over.It would only be all the more difficult for Antigonus to hold them off. At the thought, Antigonus fended off the Battle of the Star Formation while addressing Master Magaera coldly."You sure came in time, Magaera. Trying to rub salt into the wound?"Antigonus was extremely intelligent, and he knew that he would surely lose if Magaera were to strike.Yet he knew that Master Magaera cared deeply about his position and status, and that he would never go easy
But Antigonus had made up his mind, and had already begun to form a plan.That was to sacrifice Morticia, and use her Fiend soul to condense a Blood Sacrifice Formation…"Thank you, Honorable Archfiend…"Seeing as Antigonus had finally forgiven her, Morticia's tightly-wound chest loosened in an instant. She called out in response, before rushing straight in.Morticia recalled the carvings of how to break the formation she had seen on the wall of the dungeon she had been locked in, and spoke at once the second she was in the formation. "Honorable Archfiend. This is the Battle of the Star Formation the Yellow Emperor made. It involves the Fuxi Primordial Bagua, as well as…"Morticia was plenty excited as she spoke. It was important to note that as the Archfiend, Antigonus was extremely brilliant and smart. He was sure to be able to find out how to break the formation in the shortest amount of time possible.Yet Antigonus' focus was not on Morticia, but on Master Magaera watching
"You killed my three brothers, Antigonus. You won't have to wait for Master Magaera to do anything— I'll send you to hell myself."As the final word rang through the air, Zeke's eyes grew bloodshot as he practically screamed the words out.Zeke was filled with uncontrollable rage and grief at the thought of his brothers' tragic deaths.Ho ho…Antigonus smirked at Zeke's roars, not caring in the slightest as he continued to make fun of Master Magaera. "Magaera! I've challenged you multiple times, yet you continue to push me off."As he spoke, a thought came to Antigonus as realization dawned on him and he mocked, "I've got it. You're afraid of the formation. You're afraid that you're going to get trapped in here. Isn't that the case? If it is, I'll teach you how. Stand and watch."F*ck!The words pierced through Master Magaera's pride, and his expression grew ashen as he said coldly, "Me, the great Master Magaera, afraid of a mere formation? You're joking.""Well, since you insi
As the final word rang through the air, Antigonus' eyes flashed coldly. His right hand struck quick as lightning, casting a blow sharp as a knife that pierced straight into Morticia's back.In the blink of an eye, fresh blood sprayed through the air. A brilliant pain came hurtling over in waves as Morticia's body jerked, her brain buzzing and going blank.The Archfiend… wanted to kill her?Morticia could have never thought that Antigonus would strike at the very final moment.Whew…At the same time, everyone else watching on stopped short at the sight as well."What's going on?""He's gone mad. He killed one of his subordinates.""Is this what the Archfiend's true colors are? He's ruthless…"Amidst the surrounding cries, Master Magaera frowned from where he was, trying to think of something. The gods and Fiends had been at war for many years, and Master Magaera more than understood Antigonus. Despite his cruel and violent demeanor, he would never act on a situation rashly.
As she spoke, a thought seemed to come to Morticia as she clutched Heather's arm. "Oh, my baby… my baby is north of the mountain's peak… Please, I beg you… Please take care of my baby for me…"Before she could finish her sentence, Morticia's skull tilted to the side as she went limp onto the ground, lifeless.Despite her being a powerful Fiend Martyr, there was nothing but death awaiting her now that she had lost her Fiend Soul and her body was drained of blood. Even the Divine Farmer would have a hard time saving her.North of the mountain's peak…Just then, grief washed over Heather as she raised her head to look in the direction that Morticia had mentioned. "Don't you worry. I'll take good care of your baby with Ambrose."Just then, all that could be seen in the Battle of the Star Formation in the sky was Antigonus raising Morticia's Fiend Soul above his head with a crazed, murderous expression as he muttered a string of chants…In the blink of an eye, a terrifying and evil wa
