Chapter 739 Aura Domain
He was itching to start slaughtering the demons, but seeing the two demon kings were still looking for him, he decided to wait until they joined the battle against Azaroth.
'Don't disappoint me, Azaroth.' He muttered in his heart, looking up at Azaroth, floating in front of the demon kings with his hands behind his back.
A peak demon king from the Abyssal Howler tribe growled and bared its fang at Azaroth before rushing at him, unable to control his impulse.
Swoosh!
Right when he was some distance away from him, he activated his bloodline ability, plunging the area around him and Azaroth in darkness.
Pss! Pss! Pss!
Ahhhhh!
A moment later, there was sharp piercing sounds of something cutting through the air and flesh followed by a horrified scream. The demon kings grew solemn when they heard it because it belonged to the howler demon king.
When the darkness receded a moment later, they saw the howler demon, floating in front of Azaroth, his body riddled with many holes as though something sharp had cut through him. One such hole was in the center of his forehead, which had killed him. And a horrified expression was frozen on his face.
As for Azaroth, he was standing in the same place, in the same relaxed position with his hands behind his back. The only difference was that there were several green leaflets floating around him, all of them stained with blood that belonged to the howler demon king.
Swoosh!
Azaroth then waved his hand, and the howler demon king's dead body flew toward the Williams king mage. "Dig out his demon core and store the corpse. A corpse of a demon king is quite valuable."
The Williams king mage hurriedly did as ordered while the demon kings' narrowed their eyes, rage flashing within them.
"Angry? Then why aren't you attacking me?" Azaroth asked with a smile that was not exactly a smile on his face.
A peak Scarlet King Mage slowly flew out of the group and said, "Half of you, go down and massacre the humans while the rest of us will take care of him."
The demon kings' furrowed their brows at his words, not liking the fact he was acting like their leader. They, however, didn't hesitate to do as he said.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Over a dozen demon kings from all five tribes started flying downwards while the rest rushed toward Azaroth, their aura field manifesting and demonic spells activating.
Azaroth frowned seeing this. He then glanced down at the human army that was starting to lose their minds seeing so many demon kings rush down.
"Don't lose heart, people. I won't allow any more demon kings to attack you. So, go all out and bleed them." His voice resounded throughout the battlefield.
Then, as everyone—be it the human mages or the demons down on the battlefield or the human and demon kings or the emperors above—wondered how he was going to stop the demon kings, Azaroth unfolded his hands and slowly raised them in front of him.
Boom! His aura burst out, and the demon kings rushing toward him slowed down when they felt it, their hearts skipping a beat because his aura had exceeded the limits of the King Realm.
Azaroth continued to ignore them and slowly brought his palms closer.
Shua! Shua!
As his palms came closer, the aura flowing out of him started to recede and converge between them.
The closer his palms came, the more horrifying his presence became. Then after a while,
Tap!
His palms finally touched, and his aura that had completely vanished converged between his palms, burst out, and covered everything, including the demon kings in front of him and those rushing down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The demon kings felt as if they had run into a wall. Then the invisible wall started shrinking, and within a few moments, it shrank until it formed a sphere of around half a mile in radius with Azaroth as the center.
Everything happened too quickly for the demon kings to react. In fact, even if it had happened slowly, they wouldn't have been able to react because all of them were dazed. Only after Azaroth spoke did they snap back to their senses.
"Now, shall we start the battle?"
…
While the demon kings were in a daze, and everyone below, except Martha, was confused. And the emperors, both humans and demons, had shocked expressions on their faces.
"Incredible!"
"He hasn't transformed his aura field into an aura sphere, but his aura sphere into an aura domain. What a frightening man he is!" Tristen muttered, not able to believe what he was seeing.
Alton and others nodded in agreement, their eyes opened wide in shock. After they recovered, they completely relaxed. If they still had any doubt whether Azaroth would be able to handle all the demon kings alone earlier, now they had none.
Just like mana, aura could be controlled better to do several things and enhance one's battle power.
While mana control's stages before the superior mana control were kind of blurred, the aura's stages were clearly defined in four stages.
The first stage was [Aura Formation], where a mage simply formed their aura. It was the easiest, and most in the Four Star realm could achieve this. With aura, a mage could suppress those weaker than him, and if the target was way weaker, he could kill them too.
The second stage was [Aura Field], where the mage established a field of aura that he could use to attack, defend, suppress, or increase his battle power by a few folds. Unlike the Aura formation, it was quite difficult to form an aura field.
Then came the [Aura Sphere]. It was a stronger, way stronger, version of an aura field. On the day he saved Ella and Ellie Riggalton, when he was unable to fight that demon prince, Nix, he had used his bloodline power to forcibly form and manipulate the nascent version of an aura sphere, completely immobilizing him before killing him.
Normally, only emperors and above existences were able to reach this stage. Anyone who could form an aura sphere below the emperor realm was considered a genius in the field of aura manipulation.
The last was the [Aura Domain]. It was similar to the aura sphere but was powerful beyond comprehension. Once someone was trapped within it, as long as they weren't several times more powerful than the owner of the domain and could overpower him or had some special method to render the domain useless, they would be completely helpless.
For example, if a Four Star mage had formed an aura domain, he could kill a king rank expert just by relying on his domain.
Given how difficult it was to form an aura field and aura sphere, only top monarch realm experts and Supreme Mages were able to form an aura Domain.
This was why the emperors, both humans and demons, were shocked to see Azaroth use an aura Domain.
Even Verana, Tristen, and Alton, who had received the secret information about him and the Williams family from Central Plain Alliance before coming here, were shocked because, according to the information, he was only suspected to have taken a step forward on the aura path. So, they had thought he had formed his aura sphere.
'No wonder those old people chose to sacrifice all the kingdoms but not the Green Leaf.' Lady Verana thought, taking in a cold breath.
