Chapter 891 End of a Dynasty

Chapter 891 End of a Dynasty

The smell of burned flesh hung heavy in the searing hot air. The Primal Phoenix had already left, but the carnage it left behind didn't disappear. A cacophony of screams, pained grunts, and suffering noises reverberated through the surroundings, leaving the Summons and Awakened, who hadn't been struck by the Sacred Beast's flames, in a stupor.

They stared blankly to the front, only to see their leaders writhing in pain. Nobody had died, but everyone struck by the Sacred Beast's flames would have been better off burning to death than suffering endlessly from the aftermath.

Michael stared at the Blaze Patriarch, coated in the Elemental Empress' fiery armor, and stepped forward. He willed the surrounding heat and the flames clinging to the victims to surge toward him using Elemental Might and wind and fire-attributed energy. The flames surged to Michael, swirled around him vigorously, and expanded as he infused more energy to nourish them.

The flames around Michael expanded and transformed into blazing spears after using the frames of Qi Swords as a cast. The vigorously flickering flames morphed into hundreds of small fiery spears that revolved around Michael, whose devilish grin widened. He released the fiery spears with a burst of wind-attributed energy, impaling the chests of hundreds of writhing High Awakened.

The unscathed Summons and Awakened stared at Michael in terror. Their eyes trailed from Micheal to their Lords and the strongest members of the Blaze armies, only to realize that the Sacred Beast's flames had hit the Blaze Patriarch and his strongest Subordinates. They had been the Primal Phoenix's main target. That shouldn't have been a surprise, but the Summons and High Awakened were shocked.

However, it was even more mind-boggling seeing how easily Michael killed hundreds of High Awakened. The Blaze Patriarch was still alive, and so were the other Blaze Lords, but their Subordinates died at Michael's hand without any issues. "You didn't expect this, did you?" Michael asked the Blaze Patriarch as he approached the half-dead man. The man groaned and was about to say something, but Michael didn't let him. He released several small wind blades – enhanced by Qi – and severed the Blaze Patriarch's hands and feet. The Blaze Patriarch groaned in pain again, but even the energy to scream had left him already. His eyes dimmed slowly, but the hatred glimmering in them was palpable. The wrath filling the Blaze Patriarch preserved his life.

"I didn't expect you to end like this either. Unfortunately, I am not yet strong enough to fight a dozen Tier-5 powerhouses and a Tier-6 Lord. You wouldn't have met the Primal Phoenix if that had been the case. I wouldn't have to waste so many Cosmic Coins on people like you." Michael shook his head in disapproval but shrugged at last.

Their desperate screams filled the Sacred Desert, only to be overwhelmed by the cacophony of the Untamed Army's mighty roars.

Michael saw a glimpse of the battle via Spirit Eyes but diverted his attention back to the Blaze Patriarch once he verified that his people slaughtered the Blaze Armies. The Blaze Armies resisted but failed miserably in their attempt to survive.

There was no opportunity to leave. Even if the Untamed Army left a small spot wide open for the Blaze armies to leave, their Links of Loyalty would restrain them, forcing the Summons and Awakened to follow the Blaze Lords into death.

"So that is how your reign ends? It's funny, don't you think?" Michael snickered, staring at the writhing patriarch emotionlessly.

He couldn't scream or speak. All his body did was writhing, but even that stopped at some point. The glow in the Blaze Patriarch's eyes dimmed. Even the hatred in his eyes dissipated slowly.

Several minutes of soul-torturing pain passed – feeling like an eternity to the Blaze Patriarch – before Michael finished his agony at last.

He severed the patriarch's connection to his Soultrait and tore it out of his body.

On that day, the Blaze household – the terror of the Tritan Alliance – ceased to exist.
