Chapter 257 - XXVII Alena

At that moment, Elijah stepped out of the crowd and extended a hand to her, helping her stand. His eyes observed the look on the faces of others as he thought of how to resolve all of this. When he thought of something, his eyes lit with understanding as he removed his cloak and mask revealing his facial features to the world.

With Elijah having removed his disguise, a golden-haired man that shone as bright as the sun appeared, his body overflowed with an immaculate and noble air that changed the cruel and perverse aura of this place into a holy ground.

Since he left the Void territory, he didn't get in any fights had had more than enough time to find treasures to recover most of his physical injuries. He didn't have cultivated, but his body and physique were at the peak of his past, maybe even a little better.

Seeing him, even the guards of the youth stepped back. The words saint and bright could never be used so perfectly on anyone else other than him.

Under the eyes of so many, Elijah grabbed her hand and tried to get her up. "Come on child. There is no need to be this disheartened. I've seen your past, but your future is uncertain, it can be whatever you want it to be."

"What?" The silver-haired female had her mouth hanged open as she even forgot how to speak. Looking at his face, which was both handsome and beautiful at the same time. His male voice awakened her to realize this man was on another level. Even the devil youth had his eyes twitch for a second when he heard the male voice. 

"Do I know you great god?" She tried to ask about his identity. Having seen her grandfather, she knew the aura exuded by this man couldn't be something a mortal possessed, so she kneeled on the ground and asked.

"You do now, but I do know you. I saw a thin affinity and decided to intervene." Elijah raised his hand and a huge pressure smashed that youth without he was even able to speak. He saw what was on his mind before, so he knew this youth was preparing to defend himself and to use it him against the female cultivator.

"Get off your hands of our young master." The eighth-realm devils unsheathed their devil wings and attacked Elijah with all their power. The ground shook and the other cultivators from different territories drew back.

"..." Silent, Elijah dodged all their moves perfectly before seven afterimages appear behind their backs and touched their heads. He didn't feel the need to burn his vitality against these men. So he simply burned theirs.

In ten seconds, wrinkles appeared on all of their faces and their hair lost its color. Everyone covered their mouths in shock seeing the rapid aging happening before their eyes. Soon, a bunch of skeleton old man without any stretch and at the end of their lifetime fell down on the ground.

The devil youth who had his mouth was fully despairing at that moment. Seeing the eyes full of hatred and fear. Elijah step forward with a gentle smile on his face, then puts a chill in the heart of everyone.

The only thing scarier than a devil slaughtering people with evil smiles and eyes full of hatred on their faces was a bright and good person doing the same with a gentle and happy smile.

Gently picking up the youth, Elijah's smile turned even brighter. "Why so scared? Come here, let me help you."

Extending his hand toward his head. The terror in the youth's face intensified and when it pressed down on his face.

Soon, another decrepit old man was seen together with his guards. And Elijah had vanished together with the female.

"This one thanks benefactor for helping me." The female knelt down, but Elijah didn't let her.

"There is no need for it. As you must have heard, the prime king has appeared in the celestial world, I'm planning to fight him head on but I must gather my forces and I don't have time to spend moving others out of this place. So I want to make a deal, but first how should I address you?"

"Whatever you want, I don't wish to you my past name." 

Seeing the expression on her face, he knew it must be painful to her so he agreed. "Then I will name you myself. Alenia is the name of an expert of an old race that cultivated the origin, Alena is your name from now. You can refer to me as Ryn."

"Lord Ryn, what do you need me to do?" Alena asked with a solemn expression. And all Elijah did was to take his phone.

In his mind, he gave the command and rays of light shot out the phone forming a silver belt with the exact measures of Alena. The belt was printed out by the phone in seconds and when it was done Elijah handed it to Alena together with three gemstones of different colors.

"What I want you to do is to take those people and head to the void territory in any of the great cities and tell the guards that Ryn has sent you and those people to be evacuated and they will help you. This belt is an artifact for you to use it to protect yourself, when you need it just insert a gemstone on it and you will see how it works. I have put an imprint on you so you won't go back on your word." He transmitted the information about those he wanted her to save as well as the way to the void territory. Elijah also handed a gray-colored stones which he threw on the ground and turned into an eight-legged horse.

"Those horses will take you all to the void territory faster." Leaving Alena with her quest, Elijah went back to the station where everyone has open space for him. He smiled gently and walked into the formation before he vanished.
