Chapter 1167  Terrifying Attack And Presence Of The Primordial (Part 4)

Thud!

With a heavy thudding sound, Emperor Velgoth's body crashed to the ground, creating a small crater upon impact.

Evan was startled at the sight, and a look of disbelief flashed across his face.

Staring at Emperor Velgoth, lying motionless in the centre of the crater like a puppet whose soul had been frozen, Evan felt as if he were dreaming. His gaze slowly shifted towards the small girl, who was calmly retracting her finger, and his eyes trembled.

'How is it possible for her to be this powerful?' He thought with an astonished look on his face.

As the person who had unleashed the second move of the Soul Slayer War Arts, Evan was well aware of its power.

The strength of the second move depended entirely on the number and level of the souls he had captured with the first move. By his estimation, the number and level of the souls he had harvested should have allowed him to unleash an attack comparable to a peak Rank Four Core Evolver.

On top of that, with the addition of thirty thousand points of Primordial Shadow Energy infused into his Halberd, he had expected his strike to reach the power of a normal beginner-level Rank Five.

However, the attack the small figure had just released was far stronger than that. Although he hadn't been the one to face it, he estimated that the power of the attack had reached mid-level Rank Five.

Moreover, because the attack was intrinsically tied to the Soul Slayer War Arts, it targeted Emperor Velgoth's soul directly, making it even more lethal.

Looking at Emperor Velgoth's puppet like figure, Evan could feel a faint aura of life, meaning he was still alive, but the small figure's attack had frozen his soul, rendering him completely helpless.

Once the small figure released the attack, it exhausted all of its power and its form began to fade away.

As the figure of the small girl started to vanish, she slowly turned her head, her gaze landing on Evan, who stood with an alert expression.

Even though he could restrain the figure of the little girl with the power of the Halberd of Destruction, he still felt his hair stand on end when the Primordial Loli looked at him.

As her fading figure stared at him, Evan noticed her lips move slightly.

"One day, I will definitely kill you, you a**hole."

Evan read her lips, and his face twisted in a strange expression. However, realizing that the fading figure lacked the power to attack him anymore, he relaxed slightly and in response to her threat, he glanced down at his upper armor and with a thought, created a small pocket in it.

He slid his hand inside as if searching for something, and after a few moments of exaggerated searching, he withdrew his middle finger, flashing it at her with a toothy grin.

The fading girl's face froze when she saw his gesture, and the cold aura radiating from her body intensified, dropping the surrounding temperature even further.

Evan didn't care about the plummeting temperature, as his armour was more than enough to shield him from the cold.

He waved his hand at the fading figure and even stuck out his tongue, as though trying to annoy a kid.

Just as he stuck out his tongue and the figure of the girl was about to disappear completely, Evan's instincts suddenly screamed at him.

His eyes snapped to the girl's form, and he noticed that her fading had stopped.

For some reason, her figure stabilized, and the expression in her eyes began to shift, becoming impossibly cold, as if someone else had taken control of her body.

Evan didn't know exactly what was happening, but his instincts told him that if he didn't destroy the figure in front of him immediately, he would regret it.

Without wasting a moment, he gathered the remaining strength in his body and hurled the Halberd of Destruction toward the figure of the little girl, intent on obliterating her.

The Halberd hurtled toward her like a rocket, reaching her in an instant.

Seeing the Halberd of Destruction coming towards her, the coldness in the little girl's eyes didn't waver and she raised her hand slightly and attempted to catch it.

However, it seemed that whoever was trying to take control of her body wasn't familiar with the form created by the second move of the Soul Slayer War Arts and the Halberd passed right through her outstretched hand.

The soul abomination created using the Vortex of Astral Souls was only capable of performing soul-based attacks and this limitation extended to its body. The body of the soul abomination was a unique soul construct and, as such, could not interact with physical objects.

As a result, when the girl tried to catch the Halberd of Destruction, it slipped right through her fingers and continued on its path toward her face.

The moment the Halberd reached her, Evan seized control of it, and in the next instant—

Boom!

The remaining Primordial Shadow Energy within the Halberd detonated, releasing waves of destruction in all directions. The figure of the little girl was caught in the explosion, and she began to disintegrate at an alarming speed.

However, even as her body broke apart, her expression remained unchanged and she looked at Evan with cold eyes.

"What a pity. If you had waited a few more seconds for my consciousness to fully take over her, I would have definitely cut off your balls this time," Evan heard a faint, cold voice filled with regret and the figure of the little girl vanished completely.

As the last words of the figure reached his ears, cold sweat broke out on Evan's forehead and he instinctively took a step back, his wary gaze fixed on the spot where the girl had disappeared.

"Who in the hell taught a little girl such vicious language? I really need to have a word with her parents about their child's moral education."
