Blood Evolution System

He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Whatever it was, it was good at hiding and covering its tracks. No, it was invisible to the naked eye and also able to disappear into thin air, almost as if it didn't exist in the first place, King Wrath reassessed.

"Are you sure you aren't hearing things?"

Abhorrent wasn't able to detect anything around him. Even though it didn't have ears or eyes, it could hear and see everything much better than humans, who were subjected to the limitations imposed by their carbon-type bodies.

King Wrath rolled his eyes, "Have you ever heard of a king-ranked combatant hearing things?"

The peak evolutionary stage of a combatant had four layers. The first two were the lord stage and the king stage. The third one was the emperor stage. The last ones were knowns as sublime Emperor or Beyond Emperor. At the king stage, a human becomes awfully strong, and his senses become too sharp.

Right now, it wouldn't be hard for him to detect killing intent directed towards him from a hundred miles away, much look so close to him.

King Wrath was sure that something was glaring at him, looking for a chance to attack him.

But where was it hiding?

"I think you're being paranoid, and that's seriously going to cost us a lot."

"Shut up for a while, and let me focus on getting to the bottom of it."

King Wrath was sure that he wasn't feeling things, that his guts feeling was right!

"Swoosh!"

Out of nowhere, a gust of wind charged towards him. He sensed it from meters away. It moved so fast that it reached an inch away from him, and all it took was an instant. It was wholly black, at least that's what it appeared to look like under the dim lights of the damp hall.

Its six sharp and pointy fingernails were about to lodge themselves into his throat and chest when in that very moment, King Wrath's figure distorted.

The monster fingernails passed through him, more specifically, his afterimage!

A crack opened up in the middle of the hovering darkness, exposing a crimson eye filled with disbelief. It was sure that it would get him, but the person moved so fast that he escaped its senses!

King Wrath used a particular movement technique that caused the monster's eye to open so vast that it threatened to pop out of the center of its body!

"Looking for me?"

Just when the monster started thinking where he had vanished to, a husky voice came from behind it, chilling it to its core.

It immediately moved around and clawed at the spot behind him.

However, no one was there!

"Too slow." King Wrath's taunting voice came from behind it.

"Gah!"

"Do you seriously think I will give you the attack to attack again?"

The monster hurried to attack him once again, but this time, King Wrath struck first.

He kicked it with such strength that half of its body exploded, and the other got blasted away. It crashed on the pillar, and cracks immediately appeared on it. The monster slipped down to the ground lifelessly as King Wrath looked down at it with contempt vivid in his eyes.

"What kind of monster looks so disgusting? What breed is this thing?" King Wrath had never seen something like this. It was black and looked like a piece of silk cloth. It had an eye in the middle, one red like blood. No bones, no skin, no nothing!

"Idiot! Hurry up and attack. It's still not dead."

The voice of the ancient demon admiral contained urgency in it.

It sounded like that only in times that really mattered!

King Wrath realized the urgency of the situation and hurriedly threw a lightning bolt at it, and it was just weak enough not to destroy the pillar. He was controlling his power as he didn't want this place to cave in.

Either it was because of his hesitation, control of his power, or because he made his move too late, the monster escaped.

Its figure vanished into thin air before the lightning bolt reached it.

Boom!

The lightning bolt crashed on the pillar and burst into multiple sparks.

"Did I get it?"

King Wrath sounded unsure because, from his point of view, it seemed as if the lightning bolt obliterated the monster.

The demon said, "Nope, you definitely missed. I sensed it escaping into the dark world before the bolt reached it."

"Dark world?"

"It's complicated and would take time to explain, but we don't have much time." The demon said, "Just do as I say, and we will get rid of it in a flash."

"I'm all ears."

King Wrath didn't show even a single sign of his stubbornness and hard-headedness.

"Just lit this place up in brilliant lights, and it will get pulled out of the dark world."

Following his instructions, King Wrath used his Hell's paradise to change his skill into flame hell manifestation.

"Manifest flames of hell!"

King Wrath snapped his finger, and pillars of flames surged out of the ground, covering the entire hall in a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

He took the meaning of the words "the floor is lava" to the next level!

The fire was reddish-yellow, and as they appeared, it tyrannical devoured the darkness of the hall.

With no shadow left in this place, the ghastly monster that was hiding in the dark world got pulled out of it and thrown onto the floor.

"There it is, just near the spiral staircase!"

King Wrath looked at it from the corner of his eyes and prepared to attack.

When it felt his gaze land on its body, the monster screamed shrilly, signifying how scared it was and how much it feared him. Without a moment's hesitation, it turned around to charge up the staircase.

"Want to escape? Not possible!" King Wrath saw what it was trying to do and chuckled evilly.
