Chapter 1513 Unexpected, As Expected

Icarus did understand the story of this world. It was interesting story, though his grandpa Keeper Equilius might have criticized for being a bit too obvious.

He just didn't expect to become the 'Devil' himself. It's the penalty he had to face for his terror act in paradise.

It wasn't a big issue, however.

He was confident in defeating the so-called 'holy warriors' and destroying the seal.

Even though the story of Eternal Empress did have devil winning at the end, he was sealed after all. So, this would count as a new ending and he could leave this world with Isadora.

That's why, he had to defeat 'Immortal' who also seemed to be trying to grab Isadora.

"Game? Do you think this is a game?" Immortal sneered, an expression of righteous anger on his face.

His physical features were significantly different from the outside, so he didn't feel any shame at immersing in the character of the righteous prince.

"You are going down, devil. Even if I shed the last drop of my blood, I will keep you sealed." Immortal raised his spear and a brilliant red light bloomed out of its tip.

The weapon fired at Icarus like a missile, carrying with it a potent power of death that could easily wipe out a million rank 8s.

"Tch."

Icarus hands moved in an elusive pattern and a new 'rule' was constructed in the area.

The dissipation rate of 'death energy' increased exponentially and the dissipation rate itself increased when the death energy decreased.

In this situation, before the spear could even cross a half of the distance, it lost a quarter of the entire death energy.

Icarus looked at Immortal with a victorious smile.

Even though their clones were both rank 9, they were fundamentally on different power levels.

As a divine ranker, Icarus could exert far more power at this rank despite Immortal being the strongest rank 9 to exist so far.

Boom! Kaa! Kacha!

A hammer slammed Icarus and a chain of fire whipped his shirt into ashes, scorching his skin. Space cracked and nearly swallowed half of his elbow.

Then came a powerful sword of darkness that cut off an arm and a relatively weak arrow that just bounced off the injured skin.

Icarus's eyes widened as he looked at the people he neglected.

He thought Immortal was the only worthy enemy. It was a mistake to take these guys lightly.

But with the first exchange ending with him taking significant injuries, the battle's result might have already been decided.

Despite being built of a very resilient material, the creature's head snapped to the side and almost got knocked off its neck.

Then, Varian jumped at the creature, engaging in a brutal fist fight against it.

It was a stunning sight.

A man of flesh and blood was not only going head to head against a lifeless machine, he was also acting more efficient and more ruthless than it.

The brawl ended soon and Varian began using the powers of space and time. These were more effective against the creature than the life and death powers.

Even though the golem was regenerating itself, it took far more hits and had difficulty injuring him when he could easily 'speed' his reaction and escape its attacks.

Then came the banger.

The powers of Order and Chaos.

Since the golemn itself was built from the power of Order, these were the perfect paths to deal with it.

Since this was the creation of Icarus—a divine ranker in the path of Order—Varian not only fought a lot, he learnt a lot.

More than an hour later, the battle was still going on.

Icarus was not able to overwhelm them due to his initial injuries and Immortal was not able to win against a divine ranker's experience.

Isadora and the holy squad remained struggling against the traps they faced.

But—

"Huh?"

Icarus lost focus for a moment and was kicked in the chest.

He crashed to the ground, rolled like a log and quickly jumped back into the sky.

But his mind was spinning.

'How? How did he win?'
