Chapter 660 Unlucky fellow
Borak lay there, half-dead, and his Shapeshifter subordinates dared not approach further.
Loki's combat prowess terrified them, and Alice's escape from Borak's stomach after being swallowed showed she was no ordinary being.
As for William, they had gotten a glimpse of his capabilities just moments ago. Merely speaking a word induced deep-seated fear in their souls, and his catching Loki's attack single-handedly spoke volumes of his formidable strength.
With William and his companions heading towards the fortress, the Shapeshifters, after some thought, suddenly realized that they too wanted to enter the city, didn't they?
They had simply not acted on it these past days.
Why should they hinder them?
Were they mad?
If William and his companions had the means to enter, then let them!
With no further obstruction from the Shapeshifters, Alice and Loki led the way, with William following at a leisurely pace.
"Are you with those Shapeshifters?"
A demon soldier loudly inquired from atop the city gate.
Naturally, given Loki's brutal display earlier, the demon soldiers on the gate harbored some fear.
Loki's savage beating of Borak had been excessively bloodthirsty and violent, even by demonic standards.
"We're not with them; we've come to find someone," Alice called out loudly, holding the Sword of Soulbreaker.
Her compatibility with the Sword of Soulbreaker was increasing, realizing the immense power she wielded.
According to the Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker, currently, only the second layer of the seal has been opened. There are a total of nine layers. Once all are unlocked, except for William, there should be no one in the universe who can be her adversary.
With a casual stroke, she could split planets!
With a casual stroke, she could slay high-ranking god-kings!
"Who are you looking for? Is it that Jesus fellow?"
The demon soldier shouted, "If you're looking for him, you need not proceed further! This is the domain of the Demon King, leave quickly if you wish to live!"
"What do I care about a Demon King?" Alice raised her sword and slashed down.
"Master, to think that of me is really a misunderstanding," the Sword of Soulbreaker would, of course, not admit to such a thing.
Though it also desired a more powerful master, it was still aligned with Alice for the time being...
Alice didn't dwell on it further. With the city wall already breached, could she really turn back now?
She straightened her back and strode towards Shadowfell Fortress!
Loki followed closely behind, and William casually caught up.
William had noticed Alice's progress,her recent strike was much stronger. Even if Shadowfell Fortress's defensive barrier had been active, it would have taken at most ten strikes to break through.
After breaching the wall with a single slash, they entered, while the Shapeshifters rushed to Borak, forming a circle around him, trying various methods to heal his wounds.
Borak's massive body still trembled on the ground.
As William and his party entered the city, Borak's bloody and blurred eyes slowly regenerated, and his wounds began to heal. Finally, with a massive inhale, he absorbed all his subordinates, his body swirling with dark red energy, eventually assuming human form.
The bronze mask William had given him seemed embedded on his face, his eyes filled with resentment and confusion...
Recognizing his own Supreme Deity level peak strength, Borak understood that among the three they had just encountered, the most formidable was likely the masked man.
"Could he be a high-ranking god-king?" Borak frowned, his injuries barely healed and his strength greatly diminished. Not daring to enter the city again, he vanished into a puff of black smoke.
If Borak were to report this matter to Odin, regardless of the outcome, he likely wouldn't gain any benefits. Instead, by revealing the location of the power of the sacred aura, he would inadvertently provide information for others to benefit.
A mysterious powerhouse had approached him some time ago, offering him a contract that promised the power of a high-
ranking god-king.
Sensing something off, he decided to take a few days to think it over before responding.
Now, with the power of the sacred aura right before his eyes, and having acquired a mysterious bronze mask, if he could attain the power of a high-ranking god-king and return to slay these three individuals, perhaps he really could become the strongest in the Divine Realm!
Would he then still need to serve Odin hand and foot?
William was aware that Borak hadn't died.
This unfortunate Borak, who originally suffered through no fault of his own, let the bronze mask serve as a form of mental compensation, with hopes that his luck might improve in the future.
This could be considered as the last little thing William could do for the unlucky Borak.
