Chapter 1202 World Form—Umbrathiel (Part 1)
The silver, transparent cage that Florita used to trap Krythorion and Zalga was one of her Authorities: Dark Contract.
Under its effect, she could trap anyone within a cage, forcing them into combat with her. The only way for a trapped opponent to escape was by killing Florita, and similarly, Florita could not leave the cage without killing her opponent.
The Dark Contract functioned as an equal exchange, making the cage a life-and-death arena from which neither could escape without victory over the other.
Normally, under the effect of the Dark Contract, no one could interfere in the battle between the opponents trapped inside.
However, Florita's situation was somewhat unique. Firstly, she had been summoned to the Azragoth World under the effect of Evan's authority: Realm Guardian, and could be considered his summoned unit, representing him.
Not only that, but she was also a Shadow Undead, closely connected to him. Although Evan couldn't keep her by his side until he integrated the Primordial Shadow Realm with his core, she was still a shadow undead under his command.
Since she was a summoned unit and represented Evan, she could receive help from him even under the effects of the Dark Contract.
As Evan used his skill and the Death Ring unfolded, the pitch-black swirling ring, filled with the essence of death easily entered the cage created by the Dark Contract and engulfed Florita and the others.
Because the effect of the Master of Shadows Authority had already ended, the Death Ring didn't cause any harm to Krythorion and Zalga.
Although the Death Ring didn't cause any harm to them, their expressions still changed to one of shock because the moment the Death Ring engulfed them, Florita's aura began to increase at a rapid pace.
Outside the silver-colored transparent cage, Evan's shadow undeads moved like ghosts, killing the Eldritch Horrors that Velgoth had released earlier. As the Eldritch Horrors fell one by one, the essence of death within the Death Ring continued to increase and with the fall of every five hundred Eldritch Horrors, the power of the shadow undeads increased by one percent.
Due to the Dark Contract, Evan couldn't sense the aura of Florita or the others who were battling inside the cage. If he wanted to feel the intensity of the battle, he would have to enter the cage himself, which was nothing short of foolishness.
"World Form—Umbrathiel!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Suddenly, a terrifying torrent of energy, tens of times stronger than the one that had previously blown Krythorion and Zalga away filled the cage and two auras—one golden, one black—rose into the sky.
"This b***h! Isn't she afraid of destroying this artificially created world and killing that guy as well?" Zalga shouted, his voice filled with shock as he looked at the rising black and golden auras within the cage.
However, Krythorion completely ignored Zalga's shout, his baseball-sized eyes wide as he stared at the rising black-and-gold aura.
"Umbrathiel... How is this possible? Those beings went extinct during the last Primordial War! How can she use the World Form of Umbrathiel?" Krythorion muttered, his voice filled with disbelief. But before he could further understand the situation—
Swish!
A swishing sound reached his ears, and alarm bells began to ring in his mind.
"Get away!" He quickly shouted, pushing Zalga away and sending him flying hundreds of meters.
The moment Krythorion shoved Zalga aside, two flying swords—one black and one golden—slashed past where Zagla had been standing, narrowly missing him.
But after the swords missed their target, they didn't return to their owner. Instead, they took a sharp turn and before Krythorion, who was just a meter away from them could react—
Swish!
The swords shot toward him, severing both of his arms.
