Chapter 430 Letting Loose (4)

Chapter 430 Letting Loose (4)

?Although Igni had lost most of her defining features, she was still a dragon through and through. In short, Igni supposedly has air superiority!

*FWOOOOSH!*

Igni cut through the warm air, heading to the closest ghost-like demon, and grabbed it with her gigantic, flaming claws. Igni's movement was so fast that the demon wasn't able to dodge at all!

*SIZZLE!*

In just a few moments, the demon's body started to lose its shape before slowly dissipating away.

One might be skeptical at the scene since a "ghost" isn't supposed to have a physical body, but the flames that Igni was using were none other than her signature flames, the [Ignis Faatus]! Flames that can burn the soul directly!

Without even looking at the essence crystal that fell, she quickly moved to her next target. Like a shooting star, Igni became a red streak across the sky as she cleaned up the demons one after another.

One after another, the demons fell to Igni's assault. Within minutes, the sky returned to its clear state from before, with not a single demon present.

"Phew..."

Igni sighed as she descended, landing in the middle of the ground that had hardened over once more. It was still releasing quite a bit of heat, but to Igni, it wasn't even worth mentioning.

"Now then... time to wait for the next wave..."

Igni could continue onward, but going too deep into the enemy lines could be dangerous. After all, her position was the one closest to the Void Beast that was slowly approaching!

If she ended up encountering it alone, then her life would be in danger.

So instead of being aggressive, Igni just stood in her current position, waiting until the army of demons reached her once again.

Someone was watching as Igni was standing idly, about a dozen kilometers away, on top of the southern wall. It was none other than Zeshion and Alpha. The two were looking toward Igni with indescribable faces.

"Alpha, what do you think?"

"Do you even need to ask? She's more powerful than even me now, judging from how she's handling the god-level demons like children."

The two of them had watched Igni's battle from start to finish, and they only had one thing to say. She's too overpowered for someone only at the 9th stage!

"Furthermore, I could feel some familiarity with her domain. It didn't seem like flames are its main property at all."

Hekate smiled at her sister, who's usually outgoing and brave when with everyone else. However, that was nothing but a brave front she was putting on. One that would fade as soon as she's left alone with Hekate.

"Sister, don't worry. Will said that we'd be fine, so we'll be fine. Or is it that you doubt our master's words?"

"..."

Minerva quickly shook her head, her expression shifting from being scared to a firm one. Right, it wasn't that she was doubting Will's word; it was more like she was doubting her abilities.

The two of them did reach the 9th stage and even properly activated their domains, but they're still so new to their current rank that they're not confident about fighting to the best of their capabilities.

Hekate smiled, nodding her head toward Minerva and reassuring her.

"Just follow my command, and we'll be sure to sweep these trashes off their feet!"

"Alright!"

After the pep talk was over, Hekate took out her whip as she stood up, leaving their hiding spot. They were literally in the middle of the demon swarm, but not a single demon was paying them any attention.

"The isolation field is working properly. I'll be casting my domain now, so you should simply enclose the demons in psychic energy and destroy them!"

*FWIP!* *SNAP!*

Hekate let the whip in her hand slap the ground, creating a crisp sound that gathered all the demons' attention instantly.

Everyone that was within viewing distance turned to face Hekate, staring at her blankly for a moment before they started to return to their senses and roared loudly as they attacked.

"[Fleeting Dream's Embrace]!"

However, they were a step too late. Hekate activated her domain as a glittery, silver light flashed once, reaching as far as the eyes could see. All the demons that saw the flash directly stood in place, as if their souls were pulled out, and stopped moving.

"Now!"

With a crisp shout, Hekate called for Minerva, the one to deliver the finishing blow.

"[Crystal Prison]!"

And in one swift motion, all the demons that were caught in Hekate's domain were enclosed in a semi-transparent blue "cage."

Before the demons could return to their senses, the cages suddenly shattered... together with the demons enclosed within.

Seeing the clean execution, not leaving even a shard of the enemies behind, Hekate smiled as she turned to Minerva.

"See? Easy."
