Chapter 87 Panting

"Pant, pant" Matriarch Ling panted loudly, her mouth was wide opened as if she was trying to catch the air through her mouth.

Her loud panting wasn't due to tiredness but from fear and the trauma from seeing her clan soldiers, dying with their hands and power core ripped out of their body.

It was something she didn't expect, even though she has predicted that Liam will turn against them after getting the reward for killing his own family or rather his ex family members and their allies.

Her leg lost its strength and she fell on the ground with a thud, out of all her clan soldiers, only the three generals and few other archers were alive.

Faraway from them was Liam, in his flame devil form devouring the dantian of one of the clan soldier that was too slow running.

The three generals and the other soldiers still alive looked at their Matriarch with panic in their eyes.

"Please matriarch, we have to hurry and leave." One of them with a panicky voice said to her, she stretched her hands for her to grab unto but she slapped it away with her trembling hands.

"Please.. don't do this Matriarch." One of them added, she had a posture appearing like she was going to run and leave the Matriarch behind anytime soon.

"How fast are you going to run, how far are we going to run to before he catches up with us, even though I'm going to die, I don't want it to be when I am running away from an enemy" She let out with a smile on her face.

At this moment, the courageous and powerful matriarch was no longer any of those.

The three generals and the soldiers wanted to run right now for fear.

One of them disregarded the Matriarch, her life is hers.

If the Matriarch don't want to save her own, she should be left alone as for her she was going to save hers.

Liam finished with his current candy and threw the lifeless body away, his eyes darted toward the less than ten meals.

Even though it was less, their power core was the most fantastic because they are the strongest in the team and the ones he has willingly left so he can eat them last.

He saw one of them lowering her quiver and running away, he pointed his gun fingers at her.

A ball of golden flame formed and charged through the air toward her, it hit her in her legs causing her to fall face first and soil her pale body with dust.

With a smile he flew over.

"You are pretty fast, you don't expect me to chase all my meal, too cringey" He snorted and placed his hand into the right place in her body, took out the edibles and ate them, the blood leaked out from the corner of his lips, he stuck out his fangs and kicked the blood then his eyes darted toward his other preys who were immobile.

'',

Their clothes were on fire because of the heat radiated from his body, the golden flame is one of the divine flames he have gotten used and it was one he could use with depending on the bloodline soul, it was hot and it's emitted particles are blazing as well.

He took care of the weaker meals before taking care of the stronger ones, after eating the dantian of the last general, he looked toward the matriarch with bloodlust.

She sighed in relief, then she layed her body properly, resting her head on the nearest support and looked at him with the eyes of someone ready to die.

Liam looked at her and shook his head, he knew about the thoughts going on in her head right now.

"You want to die, thinking it's without regret, right?"

She was all smile as she answered; "Yes, I'm dying without regrets, I got to lay my hand on the divine yang and yin essence combination art and also whipped off the Gregor family with an ally of mine who is actually someone they trust so much, so why would I die with regret, I guess that old man Gregor is somewhere wailing with himself and the non essential member of his family. kill me already, I don't regret any thing."

"Oh, such bold words, you are not really afraid you are going to die by my hands. how about I let Galen do it, how will you feel if he was the one doing it, the one slashing your neck open after torturing you... I'll be needing this before then." Liam let out, with outstretched hands he pierced her stomach and brought out her dantian and devoured it.

? Matriarch Ling felt something really important leaving her at that moment, all the strength she has been gathering for more than 40 years of her life was gone just like that.

She felt wasted, it was a torture she didn't wish to go through even though she is a maniac who love pains so much.

It was insane, her life was facing the sun before but now it has rotated toward an entirely different place with thick darkness.

It can't be said that her life was going through hell, in hell there is a Flame that Burns for eternity and that flame gives off light which was entirely different from hers, a place devoid of light.

At that moment as well, after her essence store was gone her body started transforming.

It was aging so fast, she was as old as a 90+ right now.

The stuff that has been keeping her young till now has disappeared, without essence everything was returning to normal.

"A really cunning bitch, I'm going to see your reaction once your enemy finally see your real face, know your real age."

He cleared his throat and continued, "Hehe, the pain you will feel will increase by a large percentage if you are tortured by even a child."

"Hehe" She laughed weakly and continued, "The Gregor family is finished, did I not see you killing your step brother Galen and brother Xavier before our eyes."

"Well, you saw right and you saw wrong, I killed no one, infact I saved everyone from stress and obtained what I wanted, the flute contains something really important, something that trigger an entirely different transformation like the two you saw earlier."

"You are joking right?" She let out in a trembling voice.

"Na, see for yourself."

Liam deactivated the bond with devil of divine flame bloodline soul and activated that of blood manipulator bloodline, then he hovered into the air and stretched his hands toward the ground.

'',

Without letting out a word or even an expression change, his hands started spewing out blood energies with light fragments in it.

Once this light fragment neares the ground, it turns to an entirely different from, it turned to humans.

After spewing out all the humans he has turned to light fragments, who appeared to be in a sleepy state.

Matriarch Ling with widened eyes watched as this was happening, it was unbelievable.

But she still had a little bit of hope because all of them were in a sleep like state at the moment, he looked toward them but noticed no movement at all.

"Blood seal, deactivated"

At that moment, all the Bodies started gaining life once again.

"What I did not die, I can't believe it."

"I'm alive?"

Once the seal in Xavier and Galen was undone, the two didn't seem that surprised.

The only surprised was how someone like Liam was able to take life away from them and give it back.

And the other reason they were surprised was because of the transformation he has used to become an entirely different being and he was even stronger when in this transformation.

Galen smiled, he accessed his ring bringing out the spear he always use for beating sense and taking life into/out of his foes.

He was surprised to see a old version of the lady he has caught before, he did not see thus he does not know what has happened to her.

Anyway he believed it was Liam's doing, someone capable of taking ones life and giving it back will be able to carry out a simple task and rapid aging in the body of the others.

Matriarch Ling was so surprised,y she saw them dying but they were really alive.

Galen got closer to her, he first of hall kicked her right on her face.

That was something he has been waiting to do, since he discovered that she has escaped and intention got even stronger when he saw her old self.

(A.N: Galen doesn't know that the one he has caught beforehand was a fake)

She coughed out blood, her already wrinkled face was even more wrinkled, Blood trickled down her eyes and nose down to her lip, causing her to appeared as though she was made out of blood.
