While maintaining the barrier, Alex bore the brunt of the attack colliding with the barrier.

Dust and smoke covered everything around them, blocking everyone's vision.

As the smoke dispersed and the dust settled down, the scene that appeared before them horrified them.

All of them seemed to be standing on a barren piece of land.

Why?

Because there was simply no mass of vegetation left around them.

The thick canopies, the huge chunks of trunks and wood of the trees along with the small bushes and shrubs.

Everything simply vanished.

There was no trace of them left behind.

All of them seemed to be crushed into millions of pieces of sawdust which either mixed with the air or blew away due to the intense wind.

Anyone who witnessed the scene would be forced to think whether they were hallucinating or was all of this an illusion set before.

But they were able to think straight after noticing the green mass which seemed to be at a distance of a few kilometers away from them.

While everyone was bewildered beyond their wildest dream, Alex stood still while looking up ahead into the sky.

Everyone looked at him and then looked up.

Their expressions stiffened as the two black dots clashed against each other in the sky.

Alex gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.

At first, he felt quite helpless.

While his wife was fighting and putting her life on the line, he seemed to be doing nothing.

He was nothing but a spectator.

He seems to be turned into a worthless existence. Even if he made a move, he would only cause trouble for Riya.

The only way to reach them was to use the power of darkness. But he wondered whether using that power he could reach such strength.

To use that power, Alex needs dark mana.

Since this world lacks it, he converts the pure mana into dark mark mana from the dead bodies that emit a deathly aura which is also a type of dark mana.

The reason he was able to push himself and gained so much power two years ago was due to being in a place filled with natural dark mana.

There was an ample amount of dark mana and on top of that Alex was able to steal a part of that enemy's blessing.

Now the question arises, how can Riya use the power of darkness and have such a dense concentration of dark mana?

Alex didn't know the answer to the first question but after many observations, he came to know about the second one.

Unlike Cherry, Riya seemed to have a proper union of humans and creatures of darkness.

So, like a creature of darkness, her body can store the power of darkness while Alex cannot store the power of darkness in his natural state, he can just manipulate it and use it temporarily in Darkness Mode.

Every time Riya kills, a part of the enemy's deathly mana was sucked into Riya and it was a subconscious action until Alex pointed it out.

The dam inside her had been storing a bulk amount of reserves and the key to opening that dam was to force her into a state where there is no hope left for survival.

Now Riya had opened the door and all the dark mana stored in her seemed to gush out at once.

The battle went on and shockwaves echoed one after another as if artillery were fired from all around.

The space around both of them started to shatter.

Then, dark thunder stuck everywhere as an enormous mass of energy condensed covering the entire sky.

For a moment, everything became dark and the night descended.

And after that...

Swish!

BOOOOOM!

Something exploded like a volcano and mountains in rows exploded due to the strong outburst.

Alex noticed a deathly beam pass through and a gigantic crevice appeared opposite to them.

The ground was cut apart and a rift was formed that extended to a distance of 3km.

Such was the power, which put awe on everyone's face.

Alex's heart started to beat wildly. It wasn't fear but rather an excitation after witnessing the marvelous fight.

Soon the darkness resided and a body drenched in dark blood with cuts and slashes all over the body appeared in everyone's vision.

Azores who came in pride and arrogance had two hands chopped.

One of his wings had been torn apart and his teeth were broken.

On the other side, Riya also had wounds all over their body but nothing was lethal.

The Azores glared at Riya with hateful eyes and screamed.

He had never imagined that the woman who looked like a simple Legendary had such a frightening straight.

"Help me!" He screamed and took out a magic paper.

Alex's eyes glowed and he screamed.

"It's a summoning paper. Kill him before he can use it."

Riya's body shook and breaking the barrier of sound Riya accelerated towards the Azores.

However, she was late.

Azores tore the paper and soon a light appeared.

Riya's body froze for a moment.

Riya was struck by an invisible force and her internals were damaged and she shot back.

BANG!

Alex's body exploded with a huge blast and in the span of a moment, he appeared in the path Riya was thrown at and catching her, she teleported back.

Alex's teleportation dispersed Riya's momentum.

If Alex didn't catch her now, Riya would be thrown for a kilometre and might be in a life-or-death situation.

The bright lights dissipated and the vague human silhouette appeared.

Noah's eyes became solemn and he screamed with anger"Shameless!"

"How can you summon a Supreme rank to deal with us?"

"You dare to curse me after reducing yourself to such a pathetic state,"Azores screamed in agony.

A silhouette of the Supreme manifests before him.

"You called me to deal with them."

"Such a waste of resources. After you return, you will be punished and then grounded."The silhouette spoke with disgust but stopped as he caught sight of Riya covered in darkness.

The silhouette was too vague and Alex's eyes of truth didn't work on it.

Alex's body shook, as Riya who was in her arms roared like a wild beast.

"Riya calm down."

"Come to your senses!" Alex shouted as he squeezed his arms and wrapped them around Riya's wrist.

But Riya struggled and threw her hands.

Alex's eyes widened as he saw her sclera become dark and her skin became dark and hard.

She looked as if someone had lost her humanity and taken the appearance of darkness.

"Riyaaaaaaa!" Alex screamed in panic as he saw Riya's transformation getting out of hand.

The pair of dark hands started to move in disarray and hit Alex.

His heart skipped a beat but a bigger problem appeared before him as The Supreme Rank made his move.

The world seemed to lose its colour.

For a moment, crimson darkness descended on the battlefield.

Screams of roars and pains of humans rang everywhere.

The darkness slowly began to fade and went away.

The world slowly regained its colour and then a gigantic explosion as if a hydrogen bomb exploded eradicating everything occurred.

And as the destruction stopped, the entire Terror of Ranvir was gone.

The dense forest, the vast wilderness and the many ranges of mountains are all gone.

The huge mountains were decimated into small hills.

A huge crater with a radius of 20 kilometers appeared wiping out everything in it.

The supreme rank after casting such mass destruction vanished with few words.

"Azore, I have finished both requests. Inform the demon and the other party about this before returning."
