Prime Originator

Chapter 372 - Unstoppable

The patience of the black-dressed Lumi grew thin as she waited several breaths for the spirit of the Bone King to reply.

After waiting for a few more breaths without receiving any response, her cold eyes flickered with surging killing intent.

The answer was no important, anyway.

Since she intends to kill, nothing can stop her. All who harms her sister must pay the price regardless of who they are.

The Bone King sensed the divine being's surging killing intent and trembled with greater fear. It knew that its time was up.

With no other ideas on stopping the divine being from carrying out its divine punishment, the Bone King resorted to its last option.

It immediately reached out to the wisp of will that laid ever dormant within its soul. It was the will of its Lord that can be found in all of the Lord's close followers.

'Save me, my Lord!'

It cried.

As if receiving some response, a deathly aura immediately gushed from the Bone King's soul and manifested the Lord's will in the form of a large black skull with a jade serpent coiling out from its empty eye sockets.

The black-dressed Lumi was surprised by the sudden change, but not enough for her to retreat with caution.

Nevertheless, she halted her execution and observed with interest, no longer in a hurry to kill.

As the black skull apparition appeared, the other Bone Kings all retreated and kneeled behind it.

"This servant greets you, my Lord!"

They all spoke.

The black skull apparition acknowledged their greetings before sweeping the surrounding with its studying gaze.

After gaining some general understanding of the situation, a wave of deathly aura swept over the Bone King's soul and freed it from its immobility.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

The Bone King's soul showed his deepest gratitude before repossessing Blackarrow and joining the other Bone Kings behind the apparition.

There is a price to pay for summoning its Lord's will, but at this moment, it was not feeling any of the pain that comes with that price, the price of offering half of its accumulated energy.

It was just thankful for being alive.

"En, I have pretty much understood the situation."

The black skull apparition said.

It proceeded to face the black-dressed Lumi after.

"I sense great power of understanding of the Death and Darkness Profound Laws from you. Judging by the aura, I sense on you; you should be one of my kin. There is no conflict that cannot be resolved among us denizens of darkness. Why not pardon my little follower and let him go? I will be most appreciative."

The apparition suggested.

In response to its words, the black-dressed Lumi raised her hand and snapped her fingers. In the next moment, the repossessed Blackarrow's body exploded like scattered ashes before dispersing into the void.

Nothing was left of it; destroyed and reduced to atoms.

The other Bone Kings trembled with fear. Even if they hide behind their Lord's manifested will, they can still die if the other party wants them to.

That being was utterly unstoppable!

"You are just the wisp of a Demon Lord's soul. You are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me. Besides, if I want to kill, nothing can stop me!"

The black-dressed Lumi said imperiously.

The black skull apparition's expression cannot be seen, but its surrounding aura grew more decadent and dark with gloom.

It did not understand the law that destroyed its follower, but it was evidently offended by her actions.

"You are making a mistake. Now is the time for the denizens of darkness to unite and regather our strength. We should not be fighting amongst ourselves. It does not benefit anyone. You will only make yourself an enemy of everyone."

The apparition spoke with a threatening tone.

"Whether I am making a mistake or not, I do not know. But I do know that your words have cost you another follower."

The black-dressed Lumi said.

She snapped her fingers, and another Bone King exploded into scattering white powder before vaporizing into thin air.

The apparition became gloomier.

Yet again, it did not understand how its follower killed in both body and soul. None of its followers had ownership of their soul. They all belong to it, the Demon Lord Karau.

Even so, it could do nothing except sense its follower's soul disperse to nothingness beyond its control. The banshee used a law it did not understand. How could this be?

"You… You are not one of us… Your aura is similar, but it is actually different. Who are you—No, what are you?"

The black-dressed Lumi responded with another snap of her fingers, sending another Bone King into oblivion.

The apparition was immediately enraged.

Each follower was exclusively bound to it by a contract between master and servants. Not only were the followers; faithful servants, they were its collectors of souls.

"You—You are completely unreasonable! Do you really want to go against me for these humans?!" The apparition howled.

"For these humans, you say?"

The black-dressed Lumi paused for a moment to glance in the direction of the Darkmoon Tribe before she snickered, "I couldn't care less about the humans."

"Then, why?!"

"Because your minions hurt someone, it should not have hurt."

The black-dressed Lumi coldly answered.

The remaining Bone Kings began to disappear one after the other. No expression could be seen on their faceless head, but their despair could be felt.

"My Lord…"

The last Bone King cried its final words before it faded from existence like the rest.

"Dammit! I will remember you!"

The apparition growled.

Many Bone Kings have been killed in the Bone Calamity, but those were only the destruction of the bone vessels. The souls of the fallen Bone Kings had all returned to its embrace. With appropriate vessels, they can be revived endlessly.

However, it was different this time. It had permanently lost 7 followers. The lost pained it so.

The Darkness Profound Energy and Death Energy began to gather and congealed into a strange symbol before the apparition shot it forward.

Faced with the incoming symbol, the black-dressed Lumi simply blew at it, and the strange black symbol dispersed.

"You want to mark me with a Death Symbol to keep track of my whereabouts? You are not qualified!"

The black-dressed Lumi laughed coldly.

A powerful pressure soon weighed down on the black skull apparition before it slowly dissipates from the Destruction Law destroying it.

However, due to its high understanding of the Death Laws, it was able to resist the Destruction Law somewhat and not wholly disperse in an instant.

In the end, the black skull apparition was just a wisp of will and not its true self. It did not possess any substantial battle capabilities.

"Hmph! If you have the courage, then come find my true body in the Land of Darkness."

The apparition left these words before the last traces of it dispersed.

…

On the human side, everyone was still rooted on the spot, stricken with fear and uncertainty. No one rejoiced despite seeing their strongest foes eliminated before their eyes.

"All the Bone Kings were killed just like that… is this still the banshee we know? Is she still a friend or a foe?" A warrior asked nervously.

"How did she become so powerful? She is completely unstoppable!"

"I'm afraid only Leonhardt can answer these question, but…"

Following the warrior's gaze, the surrounding warriors turned to Leonhardt, who was seated in meditation.

"…He is meditating… Not sure if this is the best time for that…"

"It shouldn't be… He is a proclaimed spirit tamer. Maybe he is communicating with the banshee telepathically…"

"True…"

The warriors attempted to understand the situation. Unfortunately, their guesses were all wrong. Leon was truly meditating.

Furthermore, he did not have all the answers.

"What are your orders, Chief?"

Sabertooth asked.

Chief Valencia furrowed her brows in thought. For better or worse, the battle had been halted, and they had not suffered significant casualties like she had assumed…

…But their future remains uncertain.

The black-dressed Lumi was too different from her previous self. It was like she had become an entirely different person. Her aura had completely changed and appeared more malevolent and wicked than any vengeful spirits they have ever seen.

How and why she had become like this, Chief Valencia did not know. She only knows that if her hostility is pointed at them next, they could very well be facing total tribe annihilation.

"Everyone is to remain on standby and hold your positions. We will continue to observe the situation for now."

Chief Valencia said.
