Chapter 888 Darkness Devours
Nadia didn’t make any moves as she kept looking at the flaming palm above her. It blazed in front of her face like the hot sun, and the heatwave became worse and worse as the battle technique closed the distance in an earth-scorching manner.
However, the more the Nine Hell Sky Palm approached her, the more she could sense that it appeared to be on the verge of self-imploding! It could be seen that Coyle Alstreim didn’t have complete control over this technique.
Indeed, at the rear, Coyle Alstreim’s expression flickered, and his arms trembled. It seemed that he had immense difficulties controlling the technique.
Watching the technique, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim inwardly nodded his head.
How could it be so easy to control this battle technique that took him many years to reach this level? It made him proud since he was able to control Nine Hell Sky Palm - Seventh Waves to a proficient degree.
The mighty and tall flaming palm finally closed in on Nadia. The flames that it radiated made it unable for the people to witness what was happening as scorching light blinded their eyes. The last thing they saw was the poor woman being engulfed by the excess flames that were jetted out by the flaming palm, probably the side-effect of not being appropriately controlled.
Coyle Alstreim didn’t hesitate. His arm swelled in a wriggling manner as he clenched his palm!
The blazing palm’s large and long fingers enclosed Nadia into a prison, trying to roast her body into ashes! The flames that made the entire palm continuously moved towards the center of the palm to scorch Nadia to death!
"Wuaah! That’s a seriously stupid magical beast. To take the Nine Hell Sky Palm like that to the face... Courting death!" Young Master Weiss Alstreim sneered.
"It can’t be..." Nora Alstreim thought of a possibility, but she felt that it was almost impossible.
The next moment, the enclosed flaming palm seemed to become dark crimson flames. However, it wasn’t just that. The flames increasing became dark before they completely became a sea of shadow.
It was as if a huge shadow engulfed the battle technique!
"Ancestor!" Coyle Alstreim yelled in glee, but his expression froze when he saw the scene in front of him.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim held Nadia’s wrist. The sleeves of his right hand seemed to be shredded into pieces as darkness swirled around, but it was just that his skin possessed a thin layer of flames seemingly capable of deflecting the darkness from harming him.
Nadia’s eyes narrowed into two tiny slits as she felt her hand had been captured. Her eyes twitched, and she recognized the person in front of her that it was none other than Ancestor Dian Alstreim himself. Her heart constricted for a moment, but that was it as she didn’t allow herself to become afraid.
She started to struggle to move away from his grasp but didn’t dare to attack him.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows. Even if Nadia was a King-Tier Magical Beast who could match him with her strength at her peak, it didn’t matter. Currently, she was just a fleeting magical beast in front of him.
"This isn’t appropriate, no?" Davis’s deep voice echoed out. It was from his Solitary Soul Avatar.
"Yes, my actions weren’t appropriate. It was just that I couldn’t tell the intent of this... Nadia. Her actions are secretive, concealed yet ruthless, and I can’t tell if she possesses killing intent. I can’t have Coyle Alstreim dying on my watch, and so, I decided to save him even if it meant a loss to my face."
Davis became taken aback by the answer, but he nodded since Ancestor Dian Alstreim accepted his mistake, "I see. However, I can tell that Nadia possessed no killing intent, and besides, if Nadia wanted to kill, even I would possess fewer chances of stopping her through force."
"Hmm?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows as he turned to look at Nadia.
Just when he saw her rosy lips curve, a bad feeling arose in his heart.
He quickly turned to look at Coyle Alstreim and saw that he was restricted by an eerie form of darkness swirling around him. That darkness manifested as if it took form into reality.
Coyle Alstreim gulped as he felt a palm on his head. It was soft, warm, but terrifying and deadly. It was unknown what kind of technique that he was being restricted with, but it was like shackles that instantly bound him. He realized that he completely got caught off-guard.
When he realized Ancestor Dian Alstreim was here to save him, he didn’t bother to put on defenses at that moment, and his battle instincts had dulled because he had given himself to death just a few moments ago.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at another Nadia checkmating Coyle Alstreim. Perhaps with a surge of darkness energy from her palm, Coyle Alstreim would end up dead in an instant. Magical beasts usually didn’t attack the soul, and neither did the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf’s. However, the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf possessed a species technique that targeted the soul!
