Chapter 1829 Life Burning

Chapter 1829 Life Burning

"Since our both Divine Rules have more or less the same awakening percentage, you won't look down on me anymore, right?"

Once Alder used his Divine Devour Rule's special skill to rapidly burn the Energy Orbs in his body to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rule, he asked the Second Brother with a scoff.

Previously, it was the Second Brother who was scoffing at Alder; however, now, it has changed.

'T-this... how... is....this possible?'

On the other hand, the Second Brother was shocked to see how easily Alder was able to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rule.

'No...I can't fight him. I have to escape from here.'

This was the first thought that came to the Second Brother's head.

Even after the death of his First Brother and other brothers, the Second Brother was still confident in killing Alder and Ajax; however, now, there was no confidence in the Second Brother.

The only thing that the Second Brother wanted to do right now was to escape.

Even though he respected the First Brother and cared for the younger brothers a lot, when it came to his life and death, the Second Brother was clear about his priorities and preferences.

'Nothing is above his life.'

This was what the Second Brother believed and as for the revenge, as long as he was alive, the Second Brother might think of taking the revenge.

However, deep down, the Second Brother knew that even if he was given enough time, he wouldn't be able to take revenge against Ajax and his contracted spirit beasts because they would be even more powerful by then.

So, the Second Brother didn't want to think much about revenge and decided to escape from there.

'Swoosh'

"Where do you think you are going? Didn't you want to kill me and my master just a few moments back?"

However, how could Alder let the Second Brother escape so easily?

Moreover, Alder's speed was on the next level even without the Divine Wind Rule. Hence, in a flash, Alder flew to the Second Brother and blocked his escape route.

"Damn it."

The Second Brother gritted his teeth as he knew that it would be quite difficult to escape from here.

Therefore, he decided to do the only thing that he could do,

[Divine Metal Rule - Life Burning] Embark on a journey to the beginning at n0v#lbin★

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

As soon as he activated the special but forbidden skill connected to the Divine Metal Rule.

It was a forbidden skill because by using it, even though the Second Brother could temporarily increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Metal Rule, he had to burn his life.

Moreover, once his Divine Metal Rule gets deactivated, the awakening percentage of the Divine Metal Rule returns to normal.

It was a trump card that the Second Brother wanted to use only when it was a life-and-death situation for him.

And he was finally in the life and death situation where he had to use it.

'Swoosh'

"It's time to peck...only use as little power as possible as we need him alive to get the answers."

As soon as he gave the command, Alder and the ten Devourer Eagle Emperors started pecking at the Second Brother.

The Second Brother's already punctured body was getting more and more holes in it. The pecks from the mid-level Devourer Eagle Emperors were not enough to kill the Second Brother because they were hardly doing any damage to the Second Brother.

However, those Devourer Eagle Emperors pecked in the spots where the Sharp Feathers left holes. So, they were pecking and drinking the Second Brother's blood just like how a group of vultures do.

Of course, they were not vultures but more dangerous and cruel than those vultures.

'Aargh...stop it....argh.'

At first, the pain was almost negligible for the Second Brother; however as time passed by, the repeated pecking on his body made the Second Brother irritated and at the same time, he felt the pain was unbearable.

"I will speak...I will answer your questions. So, don't peck me anymore...please...kill me."

As time passed by, the Second Brother eventually gave in and decided to answer Alder's questions.

....

A few moments back at another place,

'Roar'

A powerful dragon roar resounded in the location as Twilight's body transformed into a huge mountain.

"Just because you are big that doesn't mean you can defeat me."

Looking at Twilight, the two old men scoffed at Twilight.

'Brother, it looks like he is becoming stronger as he continues to destroy the things around us.'

'Yeah...I noticed it too. Also, according to the Second Brother, this Dragon's Master has killed the First and Third Brother.'

Even though they maintained a brave look on their faces, the old men were anxious.

They were not worried about the Dragon in front of them; instead, they were worried about the Dragon's Master who was capable of killing their First Brother.

Also, even though the Dragon in front of them had yet to activate the Divine Rule, they could tell that the Dragon had a Divine Rule.

Since the Dragon was able to fight them both at the same time without using the Divine Rule, they wanted to kill the Dragon before it could activate the Divine Rule.

'Let's use our strongest attacks and kill it in a single blow and escape from here.'

Suddenly, one of the old men said something that made the other old man look at him with a face full of shock.

'What? You don't want the corpse of the Divine Dragon?'

The old man asked the other one with a mocking smile.

'But....what about the First Brother and the other brothers who died?'

The Sixth Brother asked the Fifth Brother with a hesitant look.

'What? Don't tell me you are planning to take revenge on behalf of the brothers who died?'

The Fifth Brother looked at the Sixth Brother for a moment before saying, 'Idiot... wake up and think straight. The other party was so strong that he could kill the First Brother in less than two minutes and you want to take revenge on such a powerful cultivator?'

'Also, as long as we have this Divine Dragon's Corpse, we can become very strong in a short time and at that time, we don't need the First Brother's help in controlling the Metal Region anymore.'

The more the Fifth Brother spoke, the more excited he became as they joined their hands together to kill the Divine Dragon as soon as possible.
