"I never expected that after the battle eleven thousand years ago, I, Panisa, did not perish alongside the King, yet now, eleven thousand years later, I will still die in this city."
As if expressing a final regret, Panisa, with only his head remaining, coldly spoke to Reiger.
"Before I die, I will surely relish the look of despair on your face."
"Look forward to it."
"Anticipate your own final fate."
Accompanying Panisa’s words, the massive power ford from the blood ritual by burning most of his body ascended into the sky like a blood mist, forming a black vortex there.
Within the vortex, a terrifying aura akin to a primal beast emanated, as if brewing so great terror, instantly provoking a fierce reaction from everyone present.
"Ah!"
Seeing Panisa’s successful blood ritual, Bikamo shouted and without a second thought, turned around and fled.
"Roar!"
The Demonic Void could not just watch its prey vanish before its eyes, so it quickly flashed and chased after, bringing down the Demon-breaking Sword in the air, smashing Bikamo, who was much taller than itself, to the ground, burying him beneath countless debris in Mystigo.
"What, what is that?"
Even lo, Naisa, Beluti, who were also slaughtering all around, stopped their actions involuntarily, staring in horror at the black vortex.
Not just them, even the abyssal creatures seed to be provoked, halting their attacks, roaring a few tis before turning to flee.
The scene imdiately resembled the onset of doomsday, with abyssal creatures fleeing in panic and a pervasive aura of disaster everywhere.
Even Reiger couldn’t help but furrow his brows, his expression becoming unpredictable.
Seeing this, Panisa, with only his head left, seed to see the fear in Reiger’s heart, and finally laughed.
"Do you feel it? This aura of disaster!"
"You should feel honored, for you are about to witness a terror so profound in the abyss that even the Kings avoid provoking or approaching it lightly!"
"It possesses incredibly terrifying abilities, among the rarest creatures in the entire abyss. Though not unique, there are definitely no more than three!"
"Originally, attempting to summon such an existence from the source, even in tis when the Holy Sword was yet to be forged, was nearly impossible!"
"In modern tis, even sacrificing countless lives of an entire empire to the abyss would not bring even a trace of its might to this world!"
Panisa’s voice beca high-pitched.
"But we are fortunate, for within the eleven thousand years of ’The Gate’s existence, an embryo of such a being has miraculously erged on this Black Land!"
"In eleven thousand years, the embryo has been constantly growing, and now, although still immature, it is almost ready!"
"On the day its existence was known, all abyssal lords and even the Kings were alard and ultimately decided to designate its area as a forbidden zone!"
"And you are unfortunate, Reiger Brillhaut, because it is the existence that will send you to hell!"
Panisa shouted piercingly to the entire world.
"Now, at the cost of most of my body, initiating the blood ritual, the true terror shall be summoned here and descend upon this place!"
"Co, slaughter everything within sight!"
"God of Brutality—Zarayas!"
Within the black vortex, that calamitous aura akin to a primal beast suddenly intensified several fold, causing the terror within to slowly erge from the darkness under the shocked and furious gazes of everyone.
"It’s over!"
Just out of the ruins, Bikamo’s face turned ghastly pale, eyes filled with despair.
"...!"
lo, Naisa, Beluti were tense all over, their breaths held.
"Hahaha!"
Panisa lost his previous calmness, laughing madly.
Clearly, in his view, the outco of today’s fierce battle was already sealed.
Everyone present, enemy or ally, would ultimately die.
Under the terrifying power of the most fearso God of Brutality in the abyss, Mist Goul is about to transform into a true earthly purgatory, where no being can survive.
A new forbidden zone is about to arise, perhaps even affecting the other side of the abyss, so that no abyssal creature dares to pass through the rift above Mist Goul to enter this Black Land.
This is the ending built up in Panisa’s heart.
However, Panisa, who was laughing wildly, did not notice that there was no trace of fear in Reiger’s uncertain expression, but instead, it grew stranger as the aura of the beast-like catastrophe beca more apparent.
There’s no helping it.
"This aura, why does it feel a bit familiar..."
Reiger muttered in his heart, his expression growing more bizarre.
In his mory, he seed to have felt this catastrophe-like fearso aura only from one existence.
Could it be...
"No way?"
Reiger not only felt no fear, no solemnity, only that his expression was becoming increasingly odd.
In this context, the God of Brutality summoned by Panisa through a blood sacrifice finally appeared.
Under everyone’s gaze, from the black vortex erged first a hideous, terrifying snake head.
It was an incomparably huge snake head, full of rot marks, with countless tumors growing all over it, looking extrely frightening and disgusting.
Along with the snake head appeared its body, equally huge, equally rotted, equally covered in tumors, sickening and terrifying.
However, when this rotting black snake erged from the black vortex, it neither demonstrated the power that Panisa claid would make even the Abyss Kings fearful, nor did it turn all of Mist Goul into a forbidden zone for creatures.
Instead, it slowly erged from the vortex and then... started falling apart, piece by piece.
Yes.
Piece by piece...
The dreadful black snake erging from the vortex seed as if it had been hacked to pieces by soone, not only was the snake’s head chopped off, but the massive snake body also turned into chunks of flesh.
"Bang—Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang—"
Following gravity, the snake head and flesh blocks thudded down from mid-air, crashing into Mist Goul, raising clouds of dust.
Everyone just stared at this scene, their expressions shifting from madness, despair, fear, and dread gradually to dumbfounded, bewildered, dazed, confused, and baffled.
"......Huh?"
After a long ti, lo, Naisa, and Beluti couldn’t help but make a sowhat off-kilter noise.
Even Bikamo widened his eyes, looking at the heap of snake at not far from him with shock written all over his face.
As for Panisa...
Panisa’s smile disappeared.
All the previous laughter, calmness, and even the twisted fierceness and cold cruelty vanished from Panisa at this mont.
"Ho-How could this be...!?"
He looked unbelievably at that pile of snake corpse, in a hysterical state, unwilling to accept reality.
The God of Brutality, feared even by the Abyss Kings... dead?
Zarayas... dead?
"Clap clap clap!"
The only one on the scene not shocked by this was Reiger, who began to applaud, bursting into rare laughter.
"I see, so this is the most terrifying existence in the abyss?"
"No wonder, no wonder the power of this big black snake was so frightening, I almost fell for it!"
"It’s just a pity that soone sacrificed their body as an offering for a blood-exchanging summons of great terror, only for it to beco a pile of snake at!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
In the sky over Mist Goul, Reiger’s laughter echoed endlessly, reverberating without end.
