Chapter 366: A crude thrust to decide a victor

“Ah, Harvey. He always had that charisma, charming strong girls. Girls like confidence too much, don’t they?” Yasir spoke as his form appeared next to Alex.

It wasn’t the real antagonist, however. He appeared here using one of his lesser demon’s skills, creating an illusion of himself.

Harvey and Lavinia had long since seen through him and that ability, knowing that Alex’s life was not jeopardized.

They continued their mass killing, looking confident and strong. Their teamwork was splendid, as if [Life Demon] connected their hearts.

Alex felt impressed, his eyes glued to their swordsmanship and cooperation. He didn’t blink until Yasir visited him.

“Not answering me?” Yasir chuckled, taking an invisible seat. He gazed at the battlefield and his real self ordering his lesser demons. There was some self-complacency in Yasir’s eyes as he scrutinized the battle.

Alex naturally didn’t reply. He didn’t want to talk with the antagonist threatening his parents’ lives. Yasir also killed Josh, Alex’s good friend.

Why would he even continue talking with him at such a point?

Yasir could tell Alex’s feelings, so he continued talking to himself, “They know the abilities of my lesser demons. We all have fought together on a battlefield, you know?

The antagonists were really strong back then. They were like wild beasts, not humans from the modern world like us. But looking back, I guess they must have lost so badly that they decided to shred most of their humanity, keeping just one peculiar emotion.

Funnily enough, Blackburn Blade seems similar to you,” Yasir mentioned a peculiar name that Alex was aware of.

He knew that this man was the strongest antagonist that killed too many people, paving the path to Paradise for his people.

How was Alex similar to him?

His eyes asked that question, amusing the antagonist’s leader.

Yasir grinned, his eyes half-narrowed, “He also seemed like someone who treasured his love. He had only one love, his demon. Your class is related to your wives, and you rely on their skills, even for evolution.

I can see a few resemblances between him and you. Perhaps, I need to find a girl for myself? There’s a strong girl in our ranks.

Her name is Yumi,” Yasir pointed at Harvey, “We three were the last frontlines against the antagonists before Harvey betrayed us. I think I will start courting her.

Ah… She doesn’t really like me, though,” Yasir mysteriously said, keeping Alex interested, even though the young man hated him to the bone.

But that was fair, for Yasir kept giving valuable clues. He purposely left them, though.

“How should I start courting her hand? Give me some tips, Alexander,” Yasir curved his lips, looking as if he knew that Alex would give him tips.

Alas, that was not the case.

Alex didn’t say anything, glaring at the man.

Yasir pouted, then burst out laughing, “Alright. I will ask your father instead. You see, he is doing such a good job because he knows their abilities.

But the reality is that I acquired more strength after he betrayed us. I fought against the strongest alone, so I ought to get more powerful, right?”

“There’s a skill father and mother don’t know about…” Alex spoke in a fearful tone, immediately turning around to face his parents. He wanted to scream this information to them, but Yasir’s laughter was louder.

“He knows about it! You look down on your father! Haha!” Yasir patted Alex’s shoulder, shaking his head. He looked overly amused, still having everything in his control.

His expression turned sharp in the blink of an eye, “Can he defend himself or his wife against me, though?”

Alex’s heart sank.

Harvey and Lavinia fought with clear eyes.

They didn’t think of the past or lesser demons resembling their sisters and lovers from the different world. Their swords killed everyone that threatened their lives.

It became quite hard to keep fighting, however.

Yasir’s lesser demon army was terrifying, for he had both quantity and quality.

He could summon part of epic classes and even legendary existences through his demon, which toiled the couple.

They also had to think about Yasir. The man just used his demon, but he was sure the last boss here.

He kept bothering their son for now.

But then, at the least unexpected moment, exactly a few breaths after Harvey and Lavinia finished their opponents, Yasir’s thrust his sword out of nowhere.

“Harvey!” Lavinia’s painful cry rang out in the area. She saw her husband’s chest getting pierced by Yasir’s sword!

He appeared on the scene as if he had always been there.

Harvey looked behind, seeing Yasir clad in his demon. The red existence thoroughly hid Yasir’s expression and his body, not exposing his feelings.

“Ah…” Lavinia puked a mouthful of blood, for she took Harvey’s damage herself through [Life Demon].

A red stain appeared on her chest. It heightened over time, for it was a lethal wound.

Harvey reacted as quickly as possible, wanting to use this chance to kill Yasir in one thrust. He couldn’t waste his wife’s sacrifice, and he could move just fine, for he knew Lavinia could endure for a few minutes more.

But as he turned around, Harvey stopped, feeling the blade going through him again, “Clone? It can’t… be a mere clone or illusion…”

The blade carried the same strength as the original antagonist, leaving Harvey perplexed as a terrifying wound spread on his chest.

This time, Lavinia’s skill didn’t work, for Harvey desperately wished to not wound her any further.

His wish had been answered, but for what price?

Thud! Thud!

Lavinia and Harvey fell onto their knees, trembling as blood started oozing out of them in abundance. Their bodies turned paler, looking much worse.

“Father! Mother!” Alex screamed from the other side, his heart aching for he couldn’t help but just watch as his parents fought against the terrifying existence.

Even worse, Yasir’s illusion still stood next to him, “There’s no need for any superfluous moves. A crude thrust is enough to decide the victor.

In this case, two,” Yasir’s lips curved into a sneer.

Alex punched the illusion, then rushed toward his parents.

Even if he was just level hundred existence in the Avander World, he believed he could take out that power and somehow save his parents.

“Don’t go there!” Ivonne’s voice rang out, for she could connect with Alex in a place between Earth and Avander World, “Go to Purgatory!”
