SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Divine Punishment! Soul Annihilation! Slaying the Demon Offspring!

TL: YYang

With the divine power coursing through him, Zhou Yi not only saw his four-dimensional attributes soar but also seemed to transform into a sovereign of Holy Light.

His eyes were a pure golden yellow, exuding an unparalleled sense of majesty amidst his indifference.

Behind him, a halo of platinum flames, almost covering the entire sky, burned continuously.

And the moment his words fell,

He seemed to become a miniature sun, with endless Holy Light spreading out from him as the center.

Sky, earth, forest…

Under the baptism of Holy Light, the purple-black demonic energy released by Olimas rapidly dissipated.

The dazzling Holy Light clashed against the edges of the forbidden-level Dark Flame Wall magic array, causing the entire array to tremble slightly.

“Damn Saint Knight!! Flame Demon Shield!!”

[Monster: Flame Demon Offspring]

[Level: 43 (Pseudo)]

[Quality: Legendary☆☆☆]

[Skills: ????]

[Note: ????]

Having absorbed the power of all the Flame Curse Legion members, Olimas’s level had risen from 23 to 43!!

His height, originally 2.5 meters, had grown to 3 meters, with skin as black as ink, surrounded by demonic energy.

Only the flame burning in his chest remained crimson.

Seeing the blinding Holy Light sweeping over, he roared.

A barrier with a black halo suddenly formed around him, like a black hole, silently absorbing all the Holy Light that swept toward him.

“Flame Demon · Flame Roar!!”

Whoosh!!

Olimas flapped his demon wings, soaring into the sky, leveling with the floating Zhou Yi.

Then, a torrent of crimson flames spewed from his mouth!!

The scorching red flames resembled an ocean.

The terrifying magical energy within them would make even high-level second-transfer professionals wary, prompting them to dodge and avoid confrontation.

However, when the flames reached about 10 meters from Zhou Yi,

They seemed drawn by an inexplicable force, merging entirely into the massive flame halo behind him.

Holy Flame Halo!

This enormous halo, naturally formed after Zhou Yi received divine power, wasn’t just for show.

With the blessing of the Holy Flame Halo, Zhou Yi’s resistance to all abnormal states received a massive boost.

Moreover,

The key feature of the Holy Flame Halo was its effect similar to Light’s Punishment.

Except Light’s Punishment allowed Zhou Yi to wield the power of lightning.

While the Holy Flame Halo granted Zhou Yi mastery over fire!!

The flames spewed by Olimas couldn’t harm Zhou Yi at all!!

“How is this possible??!!” Olimas’s eyes turned blood-red.

Unwilling to believe, he raised his clawed right hand high, flames rapidly gathering and entwining around it:

“Flame Demon · Solar Descent!”

Boom!!!

Flame Demons are born with immense fire control abilities, true darlings of the fire element!!

As a legendary demon, Olimas had honed this talent to its peak!!

Just 5 meters above his raised right hand,

Fire elements quickly gathered, forming a massive fireball with a radius of 5 meters in just 2 seconds!!

Pop~

Pop~

The fire elements, condensed to their limit, seemed to become molten, boiling on the fireball’s surface.

The temperature of the entire plain area soared with the fireball’s appearance!!

Below, under the Light Realm Stone barrier, Su Qinglian, Jiang Churan, and others felt parched, sweat dripping from their foreheads.

Sun Hao, the Giant Eagle Squad captain clad in heavy armor, felt his armor heat up like a red-hot iron, quickly storing it in his backpack space.

Otherwise, his skin might suffer burns!!

“Saint Knight, let’s see how you absorb my Solar Descent!” Olimas wore a sinister grin.

With a flick of his right hand, the massive crimson fireball was hurled at Zhou Yi.

However, under the terrifying fire control granted by the Holy Flame Halo,

The enormous fireball, with a 5-meter radius, was swiftly absorbed and shrank before reaching Zhou Yi.

“Pop~~”

The Solar Descent, rapidly losing fire elements, dwindled to the size of a basketball before hitting Zhou Yi.

No—

It didn’t even hit him; before it could reach Zhou Yi, the protective Holy Light held it at bay.

Watching his Solar Descent shrink to basketball size, Olimas’s pupils contracted.

It’s worth noting…

The Flame Demon series skills were innate abilities possessed only by Flame Demons of the noblest bloodlines.

And Flame Demon · Solar Descent was one of the most powerful innate skills among them!!

Equivalent to a human S+ skill!!

If not for the drastic power increase from his clan’s sacrificial skill, he wouldn’t have been able to unleash it.

However, the Solar Descent he had pinned his hopes on was entirely absorbed by the opponent!!

“This is an entirely different level of power!!” Olimas roared internally.

Unlike before, after casting Divine Descent,

He could no longer gauge the strength of the Saint Knight before him, so he attempted a probe.

Yet the result of the probe left him in despair.

“If I can just hold on for another ten seconds, I can leave through the teleportation magic array!!”

Olimas glanced toward the Dark Miasma Valley, where the pitch-black teleportation magic array was almost fully revealed.

In just over ten seconds, it would be completely constructed!!

Without further hesitation, he flapped his broad demon wings.

With a whoosh, he transformed into a blur, swiftly flying towards the Dark Miasma Valley.

“This is bad, the Flame Demons have set up a teleportation magic array!!”

Outside the Dark Flame Wall magic barrier, Xu Yuzhou and others noticed the teleportation magic array, their expressions turning grim.

This invasion by foreign creatures was strange in every way.

Not only were the invading demons of very low levels, but the spatial rift’s fluctuations hadn’t been detected.

If not for the demonic aura explosion from one of the demons in their camp being sensed by the Mage Tower, they might not have realized that the Tempest Mountain Range had been invaded by foreign creatures!!

Initially, they planned to wait for the Dark Flame Wall to disappear before investigating.

Now, with the return teleportation magic array, they might not even capture a single Flame Demon!!

Even the Flame Demons’ activity in the area would be erased before they left!!

At that point, tracing how they appeared in the Blue Star world undetected would become extremely difficult!!

“That legendary demon is too fast; Zhou Yi might not be able to intercept it before it escapes.” Wang Liang sighed beside him.

In an instant, Olimas had flown over a thousand meters away!!

And Zhou Yi was still floating in mid-air, not making a move.

Just when he thought Zhou Yi had given up on pursuit to protect the remaining people,

A voice, as majestic as a deity’s, echoed through the world.

“Such an evil aura… Heretic, in the name of God, I sentence you… to death!”

Floating in mid-air, Zhou Yi raised his right hand, pointing at the fleeing figure.

Boom!!

A terrifying thunderclap resounded from the sky.

Crack!!

The next moment, a golden lightning bolt as thick as a bucket, radiating terrifying energy waves, struck down!!

“No!!!”

Faced with the unavoidable lightning, Olimas roared.

He pushed his power to the limit, pouring it all into his Flame Demon Shield.

Instantly, the Flame Demon Shield thickened several times over!!

However, this seemingly sturdy Flame Demon Shield shattered upon contact with the golden lightning!!

Boom!!

The golden lightning pierced through the shield, striking Olimas directly!!

“Ah!!”

While his body could withstand the Holy Light and thunder,

The divine power within the lightning caused excruciating pain.

Boom!!

Finally, under the combined forces of three different powers, his towering Flame Demon body exploded!!

The purple-black demonic energy was swept away but quickly purified by the surrounding Holy Light.

“Saint Knight, I will remember you!! Believe me, we will meet again in the future! Then, I will extract your soul, forge it into my armor, and let it absorb damage for me for eternity!!”

A voice full of malice, as if from the abyss, rang out as a crimson phantom sphere shot out from the demonic energy.

It flew towards the teleportation magic array in the Dark Miasma Valley at ten times the speed it had before.

That was Olimas’s materialized soul sphere!!

“Damn, not only did I fail the half-year-long Blue Star mission, but I also lost my entire Flame Curse Legion. And I have to waste a chance to resurrect.”

Inside the soul sphere, Olimas silently roared.

As the son of a Demon Lord, he had high expectations for this mission.

However…

The result was losing his physical body and fleeing in disgrace.

Not only would he face a long recovery period after reconstructing his body, but his father’s opinion of him would also diminish.

“All because of him, that damned Saint Knight!”

In the depths of his consciousness, he etched Zhou Yi’s appearance and aura into his memory.

If he ever returned to Blue Star, his first act would be to kill that Saint Knight!!

Of course…

As a soul form, immune to all physical damage and only vulnerable to purification skills, he didn’t worry about being annihilated at this moment.

Moreover, he was moving at an incredible speed.

He didn’t fear his soul being destroyed.

However, at that moment, Zhou Yi’s majestic voice rang out again, startling him.

“Divine Punishment! Soul Annihilation!”

Crack!!

A platinum-colored lightning bolt, different from before and composed entirely of divine power, struck down!!

It hit Olimas’s rapidly fleeing crimson soul sphere.

‘No!!’

In a silent roar of unwillingness, Olimas’s soul sphere was purified and vanished from the sky.

Finally, the troublesome legendary demon was completely eliminated by Zhou Yi!!!
