Chapter 53: Can't Escape

Every step Alu took made Varog's heart tremble. Drops of sweat started dripping down his body as Alu grew closer and closer to him.

Varog's eyes, which had been red with the urge to kill, turned back to normal. His desire for revenge quickly faded as he realized fear began to fill his heart.

Varog himself doesn't understand what happened to him.

In his life, he always built a solid mentality. There might be some things in this world that could frighten him, but Varog firmly believed death was not one of them.

He had his own pride as a genius and the crown prince of the Great Kingdom. How could he be frightened by mere death.

"Hehehehe..." ALU only chuckled as he saw the change on Varog.

Of course, if it were someone else, Varog would definitely not be so afraid of death.

The reason why he looked so scared was because of the evil aura that Alu was emitting. This aura was an aura of evil that came from the Black Phoenix.

That aura couldn't be felt clearly.

However, it would make people who saw Alu feel as if they saw the grim reaper, the bearer of death and fear. That aura can turn people who were not afraid of death before into so much fear that they want to cry.

"No, how could this happen to me." Varog said in a trembling voice.

Varog firmly believed he was not afraid of death. Even if he was really scared, he wouldn't be that scared. Besides, it wasn't necessarily that he would actually die there.

Even though Alu was stronger than him, they still had the same cultivation in the end. Varog couldn't believe he couldn't escape from Alu. Moreover, he has wind power that is superior in speed.

After some time, Varog began to realize that his fear didn't come from him, but from something else.

Upon realizing that, Varog couldn't help but glance at Reva who was watching from the side.

When he looked at Reva, the latter also stared at him. However, Reva's gaze at him seemed emotionless. Reva looked like she was just watching someone else's problem. Varog's life and death seemed utterly insignificant in her eyes.

This made Varog feel sad.

"No, I can't believe this."

However, his sorrow lasted only a moment. As he spoke, his previously terrified eyes began to be replaced with determination as he began to think oddly.

"I'm sure Reva is still the Reva I know. She just can't show it. She must have been forced to do all this."

"You devil." Varog then shouts Alu.

"Even if you kill me today, I won't be afraid." He said in a loud voice.

When he said that, his eyes suddenly gave off a cruel light. The spiritual aura that had previously disappeared from his body once again erupted. It shook the sky in that instant.

"I will fight with you. I can't believe I can't fight you." Shouted Varog.

Right after he shouted, he lunged straight at Alu.

"...."

Alu couldn't help but shake his head as he saw the change that had happened to Varog.

"A woman can really change a man." Said Alu.

Alu then glanced at Reva as she said that. And just like before, Reva still seemed emotionless despite what Varog said.

"Unfortunately Reva is not what Varog thinks. She may have very few feelings." ALU thinks.

"Well, I'll show him what despair is." Alu smiled sarcastically as he suddenly thought of something that would make Varog die so miserably.

Alu then looked at Varog who was getting closer to him. Varog flew at an unimaginable speed. His body seemed to be one with the wind itself. When he lunged at Alu, he looked like an eagle chasing its prey.

However, in Alu's eyes, Varog was not an eagle, but a chicken.

"Too weak." Said Alu. "Your mysterious technique is too weak, and your spiritual source is also only at the third stage."

Even if their spiritual source was equal in number, the spiritual source stage difference would still create a huge gap in their strength. That difference was basically equivalent to a difference in cultivation layers at least.

"You don't even have a chance to run away." Alu smiled mockingly.

After that, Alu's eyes turned cold, and the moment that happened, black flames then surged from Alu's body at an unimaginable speed. It was so fast that Varog didn't even have time to react and the black flames had completely engulfed him.

Chi, Chi, Chi...

The burning sounds rang out as black flames began to burn Varog's body.

Varog's body looked very fragile under the flames of Alu. It quickly melted away as if his body was just a wax.

"Shit…" Varog who felt Alu's strength could only curse in a hoarse voice.

He really didn't expect the difference in their strength to be so great that his body quickly melted away just from coming in contact with Alu's flames.

Varog quickly realized that he was in a dire situation.

"I can only use that." He then spoke.

Right after that, a white light suddenly shone from his body. After which, a silver armor suddenly appeared and covered Varog's entire body.

When the armor appeared, the flames that tried to touch Varog were immediately reflected back by the armor.

No matter how many times Alu pushed the flames, they would be reflected back.

Now, the flames could only surround Varog.

"Oh..."

Alu was surprised when he saw the armor that could withstand the flames he released.

Whooss...

However, right after the armor appeared, Varog's body which was originally high in the air suddenly fell downwards very quickly.

When Alu saw Varog's body falling down, Alu couldn't help but show a sinister smile.

ALU of course knows that the armor that Varog uses is the same type of item as his shield. It's just that it's clearly a lot better than his shield because it can protect the whole body.

Varog fell naturally because he didn't have the strength to withstand the weight of the armor he was wearing.

"But even though it can protect you completely, it also has a fatal weakness. You won't be able to move when you use it... Are you stupid?" But even though that was what he said, Alu actually started to think the moment he saw Varog.

As Alu continued to look at Varog, a possibility finally flashed through his mind.

"Oh, no. So you want to run away like that."

Right after Alu said that, something that looked like a launcher suddenly appeared right behind Varog's armor.

Whooss...

Alu didn't even have time to react and Varog's armor had started sliding off into the distance. It was traveling so fast that it surpassed Alu's own speed. In just an instant, it had actually crossed over five kilometers, and over time, it had grown farther away.

Alu's face immediately turned gloomy when he saw Varog trying to run away.

"Don't think you can do it." Shouted Alu in a cold tone.

"Phoenix God Domain." Alu shouted one more time.

Brussss....

Black flames then surged from Alu's body. It was like an erupting volcano. In an instant, flames instantly covered the sky above Alu. And it then flies towards Varog.

Varog was extremely fast, but the black flames were ten times faster. It didn't even take an instant before it reached Varog.

Shua....

The flames that looked like waves of the ocean then drowned Varog in them.

As before, the armor protecting Varog still reflected the flames when they came into contact.

However, although the flames could barely touch the armor, the armor's speed also drastically decreased as it was surrounded by the flames.

And the flames didn't stop just because it had engulfed Varog. The flames continued to spread until they covered an area of ​​a hundred kilometers. Rivers, forests, and mountains were all engulfed under the flames.

At this time, even Roux and Reva and the followers of Varog were engulfed in the flames. But Alu deliberately lowered the power of the flames around them so that it didn't hurt them too much.

Whooss...

Alu is no longer silent.

After the Phoenix God Domain had been completely released, Alu immediately went after Varog who was still trying to escape.

If there was no Phoenix God Domain, even with Phoenix God Wings, Alu would have a hard time teaching Varog. But now, even when Alu wasn't flying at full speed, he still managed to get close to Varog in a short amount of time.

Alu then appears just above the Varog. And he immediately reached out towards Varog's armor.

Alu actually has the desire to hit Varog, but Alu chooses to restrain himself because he knows he will only hurt himself if he hits the armor protecting Varog. Even with his physical strength, Alu wouldn't be able to shake something that could withstand a Nirvana stage expert's attack.

Luckily it wasn't a spiritual item either. It was just an ordinary object that had great power. Hence, Varog's armor basically has no spiritual attachment to Varog. As long as Alu holds it, he can take the armor.

"Well, I'll keep it." Said Alu.

The moment his hand touched the armor, Alu's storage ring suddenly glowed with white light, and it instantly engulfed the entire armor. After that, the armor suddenly disappeared, leaving behind the pale-faced Varog.

"He-he-he, unfortunately you can't escape." Alu laughed sarcastically.

Alu's hand then touched Varog's body, and Alu immediately released his spiritual energy to suppress Varog's power.

In just a few moments, Varog who is a crown prince of the Great Kingdom turns into a dead fish in Alu's hands. He could barely breathe as Alu grabbed him by the neck.

Of course, only that would not make him die.

While holding Varog, Alu then looked at Reva.

"To die at the hands of someone you love, that must be very pleasant."
