Inside the multilayered domain;
A strange silence filled the barrier as the wolf and an old man were slowly walking toward Azzy and Snivy.
It is not that they want to speak. It's just that they couldn't as these experts were paralyzed in fear upon sensing the demigod realm power inside the enemies. Even Snivy was no exception. All of them felt like they were at the mercy of these beasts, and since they weren't targeting them
As the Fenrir and Jormungandr reached halfway and stopped, the former spoke, "It looks like I have disturbed your battle, but what can we do? We are in a rush at the moment. We came here as soon as we released our friend."
"You plan on going back on our deal?" asked Azzy as he unlocked the seal on his soul orb. However, his soul energy remained still. His access has been cut-off.
Fenrir let out a snort in response to his question. "Hmpf, your Arcana spirit might have forced the deal on me because I was helpless back then. Now, the situation is different. You can neither use any type of energy nor the power of your attribute. Furthermore, we are at our full strength this time. You have no chance of escape."
"I should be honored, I guess. Two demigods teamed up to kill someone like me." Azzy mocked the two of them in return.
Fenrir replied, "You should be, kid. To kill you, I had to make a deal with two more demigods."
"Two more?" Azzy raised his eyebrows. He activated Aura sensing instantly.
It couldn't penetrate the barrier but at the very least, he realized that the third demigod isn't hiding inside.
That would only mean one thing. Someone is outside, probably protecting the domain from any unexpected interference.
And that isn't something he can feel reassuring. Not only Aaron is away from his sight, but there's also an unknown demigod who can massacre everyone around to eliminate the witnesses.
In order to hide his worry, he acted as if he wasn't much concerned about this situation. He further provoked them by stating, "You did a good thing. You reduced my efforts so much by bringing those targets to me. Once I absorb their core, I can directly break through to the demigod realm. For your service, I will leave you alive. Don't worry."
"You…" Fenrir was enraged by how this brat was looking down at them. The wolf roared, "I will shred you into pieces."
Azzy replied with a straight face as he went into a battle stance, "I'll let you try."
Alan and the others felt like Azzy is too bold. They didn't understand how he got such courage to talk in such a way. Just looking at those beings is making their souls tremor in fear.
The world serpent stayed back while Fenrir charged forward at a speed Azzy couldn't follow without the help of his Eyes of God soul skill.
Its figure was quite blurry, but Azzy, nevertheless, wasn't nervous due to the fact that he can track its movements with Aura sensing.
But then again, tracking it and reacting to it are two different things.
While Azzy managed to see through its attack at the back of his neck, he couldn't react in time as its claws scratched him.
Azzy flew into the air and crashed ten meters away.
"Hmm?" Fenrir raised its paws and looked at its claws. "I cannot kill him in one move? Even his neck felt like a durable metal. His body is changed from the last time we encountered him," thought the wolf as it stared at Azzy, who slowly got onto his feet with a black crown appeared on his head. The injury on his neck healed instantly.
Seeing that he was fine, Azzy's confidence increased. He spoke as he summoned the shield of Amerys, "You did a foolish thing to lock our energies too. Your current physical power isn't enough to kill me, Fenrir."
"That gem… He didn't just have one, but two cosmic jewels." Fenrir realized why his opponent is acting so arrogant. Jormungandr, the world serpent became excited when he saw those two jewels. A look of greediness appeared on his face.
Meanwhile, the supreme realm expert also appeared to have recognized the jewel of life. The other two were clueless.
"Grrr"
Fenrir growled at Azzy and charged forward once again, this time, accelerating to the max.
If the earlier attack was a blur, the current one isn't even visible to Azzy. Not to mention, there isn't enough time to think of a strategy either. He had less than a millisecond to react.
As a result, Azzy was forced to tightly grip the shield and braced himself for the impact.
Luckily for him, the wolf didn't attack his back like earlier. This time, it was a frontal attack. There's also probably Fenrir's ego in the play too.
As the great wolf threw its entire body at the shield, the jewel of earth glowed in response, increasing the durability of the adamantine shield by a thousand times.
Azzy was pushed back and the shockwave generated by the collision also pushed away Fenrir as a result.
It was then the standby Jormungandr took action.
In a timely manner, the world serpent stretched his arms. They turned into that of two grey-colored snakes as one of them captured Azzy and the other bit his neck, inducing poison into his system.
The Jewel of Life glowed and removed the poison on its own while the Reaper forced out the Amulet of Crescent Moon to be summoned around Azzy's neck and controlled its lightning energy to attack the enemy that ambushed his host.
"Argh…"
Jormungandr let out a painful scream and freed Azzy as his arms were burnt by the tremendous amount of lightning energy. The memory of Thor Odinson once killing it in a spar with the power of natural lightning was invoked in Jormungandr's memory.
The world serpent couldn't help but shudder for a second as he looked at his arms with third-degree burns. Since the healing factor is pretty much banned in this domain, he felt extreme pain, but fortunately, it can be bearable for now.
On the other hand, Azzy was completely fine because of the fact that cosmic jewels can ignore the laws of the domain even if it was created by gods. Only true gods, Chronos, and personifications of Life and Space have the ability to restrict their powers.
This is why cosmic jewels are so special and sought by every being in the universe.
Meanwhile, Fenrir slid for a while before managing to find his footing. It silently stared at Azzy, this time, taking him quite seriously.
"This brat's soul was bound to three of them? How is the fu*k he even stayed alive until now? Even I don't dare to do that. Is he an avatar of a true god or is his soul a cosmic jewel itself?"
Fenrir couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts. Rather than rushing without any plan, he felt that he should be more careful.
"More than him, I'm now worried about his Arcana spirit. It is a celestial grade for sure. The fact that it can control time indicates only one thing. Znuvo, that troublesome time-traveling beast."
Meanwhile, outside of the barrier;
As the students and teachers alike started running away from the fire giant, mysterious figures started appearing one after another while surrounding it. All of them are in the supreme realm except for one guy.
Filled with shock, Vesyrn mumbled, "What the hell is going on here?"
