Chapter 116 - 116: Destruction of the Elemental Kingdoms

FWIP!

Teleporting above the Demon Pill consumers, the mysterious hooded figure nonchalantly folded his arms over each other. His eyes then scrutinized the ailed Soul Transformation Realm Demons. A small, content smile formed as he used his hands to draw and manipulate a clock-like spell.

His joy only exponentially multiplied after the predictions were finished. Clearly, the future favored him.

"S-Sir! Kuk! W… What is happening to us!? Pl-Please save me!"

"Hum?" The mysterious hooded figure turned toward Igron, apathetically watching as his skin convulsed and bubbled. "You want me to save you?"

Hope flooded the hearts of the Demons as they begged.

"Fine, then," said the mysterious hooded figure. "I shall give you salvation."

"!!!" "!!!" "!!!"

A wave of a hand!

That was all it took for the consciousnesses of the Soul Transformation Realm Demons to be wiped clean!

After performing this seemingly effortless move, the mysterious figure backed up a few hundred meters. He expressionlessly observed the transformation of the soulless Demons speed up markedly.

Nodding, he faintly murmured while gradually disappearing from view, "Good, the Complete Demon Transformations have gone off without a hitch. I should leave the area and wait for the Extermination Process to conclude. If the subsequent Demonic Source is sufficient, then I won't need to do another Test on a different area."

Extermination Process!?

What did this unknown figure mean by that!??

"Who are you!?" Sword Saint angrily squirmed in the chains that immobilized him. "Why are you doing this!??"

Without looking in the Sword Saint's direction, the mysterious hooded figure cryptically replied, "You'll know in due time. The whole world will know. My research will revolutionize the Empire."

With that, the hooded figure fully vanished. No traces of him remained in the Azura Empire.

Only after the conclusion of the Test would he return to collect his dues.

"This…"

It wasn't just Sword Saint that was left frustrated over the departing words of the hooded figure. Everyone had many grievances with the man who—

"ROOOAAARGGHHH!!!"

"!?!?" "!?!?" "!?!?"

All the tied-up natives of the Water Kingdom heard a bone-chilling roar come from what used to be Igron. Nearly identical roars boomed out from the other rapidly transforming and enlarging Demons as well.

Achieving sizes broaching upon tens of thousands of miles, the mindless Demons loomed over the Water Kingdom's citizens like gods over specks of dust. Then, to add to their dismay, one of the colossal Demons opened its terrifying mouth and shot out an ultra-thin beam of bloody energy.

A screeching sound lagged behind the bloody energy beam as it dragged across the landscape.

KA-BOOOOOM!!

Color drained from the faces of every single gathered Cultivator from the Elemental Nations as they horrifically watched millions of miles of land get carved out of the ground. Exploding high into the sky, planet-sized chunks of earth sailed in every which direction.

A third of the Water Kingdom was obliterated in an instant, with the embers from the destruction whisping past the Azura Kingdom's Ordinance List. The flames lit up the shadowy paper but could not burn it.

"My God…"

Whether it be the captive Water Kingdom Cultivators or the opposing Cultivators of the other Elemental Nations, they all stared at this scene in a dumbfounded daze. Their pupils reflected the catastrophic scene before them, with terror sinking its fangs into them.

"...."

Knox—who was watching the giant Demons as well—felt his blood rate quicken while glancing at their System Interfaces:

{[Demon of Armageddon]} X9

[Cultivation: Peak Soul Transformation Realm]

[Age: Void]

[Main Technique: Unmitigated Annihilation]

—[Purpose for existence: to bring about the End of the world and fall into Oblivion as a Demonic Source for the one who created it]

"Well, shit," Knox helplessly shook his head. "We're screwed…"

FWIP!

Thinking quick on his feet, he ignored the rising temperature of the Elemental Nations and appeared before the chained Water Kingdom Cultivators. While this was happening, his right hand blurred as he used the Sword of the End to cut down the millions of Elemental Nation Cultivators that ambushed them.

"What!?"

"N-No!!!"

"S… Stoooop!!"

In between the screams and pleas, Knox realized that a few hundred thousand stragglers dispersed and slipped through his grasp. Unbothered by this, he raised his hand and called for Rayzer.

"Leave none left alive."

Although a bit startled by the sudden change in position, Rayzer's gaze immediately focused. "Yes, Master," he bowed before blurring.

This subordinate of his may have been a bit unusual, but he got the job done. Furthermore, since he was a contracted Servant/Disciple, everything he killed gave Knox the same amount of Attribute Orbs that he'd acquire if he were to kill them himself.

"Darling…"

"Knox…?"

Both Yennefer and Cela were staring at Knox as if he were a ghost. Maya, King Waters, and the others were looking at him the same way.

Knox tilted his head in confusion. "What? Did you think I had died or something??"

Did they!?

Of course they did!

The aura that Sect Leader Ten Thousand Poisons possessed toward the end had been more than enough to match a Soul Transformation Realm Expert!

That wasn't even to mention the Thunderbolt Empress, that massive beam of crimson lightning energy, and those five additional Soul Transformation Realm Powerhouses!

Not even the most powerful Cultivators of the Water Kingdom could survive after all that!

"Darling!!" Cela screamed through tears that painted her beautiful face with melancholy. "You're alive!!"

Knox chuckled before casually slicing out with his fingers.

*Clank, Clank!*

As the chains that bound everyone shattered and fell to the ground, he smiled. "Of course I survived. Those brats would need a million more years of arduous cultivation to be my match, haha!"

Such a braggart!

But it was good that he still lived. Very good.

Perhaps the Water Kingdom could survive this tragedy yet.

Suddenly!

KA—BOOOOOOM!

Another world-shaking beam attack destroyed another massive part of the Elemental Nations—turning half the Ice Kingdom into a boiling bowl of lava.

The tiny bit of hope that filled King Waters was immediately dashed away. He seemed to struggle with himself as an important decision had to be made.
