Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Chapter 277: Thank You for Courting Death, Patron Point

"Haha, wonderful dance!"

At one of the higher spots in the mountain, groups of people sat at different tables while enjoying the dance performed by six girls with white wings and combat dress.

Their dance was powerful, and their music was epic with multiple instruments sounding from the back, displaying a tale of their battles through their dance and invoking flames of battle and determination within the people watching.

The previous dance and music was cheerful and jolly, but this one was entirely a new thing by a new group.

Erix, Rin, Lilith, Lily, and Maleina sat at a table as well, eating top-quality food and drinking exotic wine.

"The ladies there are beautiful, haha. How about show us a dance?"

Erix and the group had worn a mask on their faces, and it was not uncommon as many people didn't want their faces to be seen in public.

Rin and Erix had their face spread a lot due to mirage crystals, so they didn't want to be disturbed while enjoying their break.

However, that voice calling them beautiful obviously couldn't see their face. The eager tone with a hint of lust in that voice immediately made Erix and others frown.

Shooting a glance in the voice's direction, everyone saw a man looking in his late twenties with long light green hair sitting with a bunch of beastfolk girls while a woman and a man clad in full-body armor stood behind him.

"Come on, I'm sure you all know a move or two," the man said, unhinged. With a laugh, he raised his wine glass and said after licking his lips, "If not here, then you can dance privately for me."

"Sir, please don't create unneces-"

The manager was a peak Royal-order and quickly arrived there.

Seeing the aura of two Empyrean-order hunters standing behind him, the manager knew this was a young master-type asshole who hadn't learned his lesson yet.

Lilith raised her eyebrows, her voice spiritually entering the group's head, 'New to Abyss or naturally born here in a big organization or community? Looks like a human with a mixed bloodline of some beastfolk since he has vertical pupil eyes.'

'How do we fry him?' Rin asked, straight to the point.

'Let me have a talk,' Erix vanished from his spot, exchanging his place with a beastfolk girl looking in her late teens.

Erix appeared across the man who spoke while that beastfolk girl appeared in his seat.

The two Empyrean-order guards only glanced at Erix and kept their eyes on him.

"I also want some entertainment, but before that, how about you apologize sincerely for your error?" Erix said, a grin spreading on his face while his eyes were covered due to the half-mask.

"If you don't want to fix your error, I'll debug you myself."

"Hahahaha, you want me to apologize? Stop dreaming.:

"I am Leoron, and nobody knows me here since I, unfortunately, died in my world," the man said as he raised his glass while openly groping the beastfolk girl with goat ears and horns that was on his lap.

Her expression was blank, and it was obvious that she was a slave due to the slave mark.

"As you can see, my father told two subordinates to die to accompany me in the Abyss," Leoron grinned. "I plan to have full fun before returning once I reach Empyrean-order, and you want me to apogloize? Hahaha."

"Oh wait, you are just a Noble-order ant, hahaha"

Leoron tilted his head, showing his cheek towards Erix, "Come, attack me if you dare."

"Pff…" Rin almost spat the wine she just sipped upon hearing that and burst out laughing.

Leoron frowned hearing her laughter that clearly hinted great contempt at him.

"You bi-"

However, before he could finish speaking, a mysterious cut appeared on his throat, glinting with dark hazy purple and silver sparks.

Immediately after that, his arms and legs detached as the space around their joints was devoured by Nihilir.

The dark hazy purple flame with silver sparks immediately and instantly incinerated his limbs, not even leaving any ash.

"Stop at once!"

The man shouted and pointed his sword at Lilith, "If not, we will kill this woman!"

The dark pink-haired woman also pointed an arrow at Lilith.

They knew they could only hurt Lilith, who was an Empyrean-order like them, so they only targeted her.

Meanwhile, Leoron was suffering hell. His throat had a gnash maintained, preventing him from healing and uttering any sound while Erix sealed him in space, making an utterly pathetic sight of him as he stuck in the air with no limbs.

Due to Erix's Nihilir's power, recovery was impossible, and he couldn't drink a high-tier potion.

One of his subordinates could help him, but seeing that he wouldn't die, they didn't bother giving him a potion and let him suffer pain.

"That power…."

The people at other tables felt familiar with the Nihilir since they had seen it in Mirage Crystals!

"Deathly Fist!"

"Fist of the Abyss."

"So that group…"

Lilith had conserved her aura, but she strangely smiled at the duo who pointed their legendary weapons at her and vanished from the spot along with them.

A domain point appeared in her previous position.

"Apologize," Erix said with a smile. "If you do that, I'll give you a swift death."

"And you all," Erix looked at trembling beastfolk girls and their slave marks before turning to Lily.

"Leave it to me," Lily smiled and weaved her mist element to create small knives before destroying their slave collars.

The one sitting at their table also gained her freedom.

"You are free to leave and start your new life," Erix said to the girls before turning to Leoron.

'Let me go!' Leoron's anguished wail resounded as he spiritually shouted into Erix's mind.

"Apologize sincerely and beg me to spare you," Erix smiled.

"Then I'll spare you a quick death."

'You don't know what you are doing!'

Leoron's rageful red eyes glared at Erix, but he only got more pain in return… so much that his eyes started bleeding due to physical and magical exertions to move, but couldn't move at all.

Erix went all out to trap Leoron into a body space prison, gluing his body to the space and empowering it with his powerful spirit force, so no matter what Leoron tried, he couldn't break free.

Since Spirit stat had no limit, Rin and Erix both had surpassed 1k points in their Spirit stat, with Rin reaching 1147 and Erix reaching 1179.

'Why is he so powerful despite being Noble-order!'

Along with rage and pain, Leoron's envy also increased.

Leoron made that remark against those ladies because he was envious of the only man at the table of those beautiful women.

He had slaves, but the other guy had top-class beauties, and they were all his willingly.

However, there wasn't a hint of regret in his eyes.

'Let me go, you trash!'

"You may be a very big shot in your world. Well, your father, not you," Erix chuckled. "Unfortunately, the trash here is you who don't know how to live."

"Since you don't know how to live, there is only one thing waiting for you."

However, Leoron creepily grinned his response, 'My death will start the countdown of doom that will hunt you and everyone you care about.'

'As I…Hahahahaha, I will live even if I die here! You don't know my father and grandfa-'

However, Leoron suddenly saw a mystical third eye appearing on Erix's forehead.

Even Erix didn't know it appeared, and only Leoron could see it.

An archaic and ancient voice resounded in his mind at that moment, stunning his mind and strangely giving him despair.

'Corrupted and unworthy soul, you shall acquire demise of the absolute, path to….'

"Is that so?" Erix raised his eyebrows, his eyes cold while a sharp smile spread on his face, "I love dooms. I hope the one that will hunt us after I kill you is somewhat challenging."

*Thud…*

"Not bad. We have a new weapon for Rin and some interesting items," Lilith appeared back on her seat while those two Empyrean-order fell with a thud beside Leoron. Completely drenched into dark red blood, yet their bodies were husks--Deader than death.

"It seems that they are fairly big in the world they came from," Lilith chuckled. "At least they have powerful figures out of Mystic Root's influence, and we got some good resources from those two."

Erix laughed and snapped his finger, causing two Nihilir Wisps to form.

"Thank you for courting death," Erix said before sending those Nihilir Wisps into Leoron's eyes.

His spiritual screams tried to enter Erix's mind, but he blocked the receiving from Leoron as he wasn't interested.

Leoron's face burned and his entire body burned brightly with Nihilir before it all vanished, including everything he wore…except for the hunter card that Erix specifically saved.

"I guess this one should also have some good items then."

Meanhile, Leoron's soul left Abyss, and his death immediately notified his powerful fathe due to the Bloodline connection and soul lamp indication.

Myrokam Planet, the ruler's castle.

It was a two-thousand-kilometer giant castle, and the planet was also highly advanced in technology driven by both magic and science.

The moment Leoron died, a roar echoed in the castle while several flyings ships entering outer space from the castle shook due to the shockwaves that spread high up.

"Father, your grandson died! My son! Grab his soul wisp before it goes into the Cycle!"

A giant pair of eyes manifested above the castle before it peered into the path to Grand Primal Cosmos's Cycle and found Leoron's soul.

An ethereal and mystical hand stretched forward, intending to grab the soul.

However, the hand suddenly stopped a meter away from the soul, preventing it from proceeding further.

'Who?!'

Instantly after asking that, the mystical pair of eyes heard a voice forcefully penetrating into his consciousness.

But that voice infused primal fear in him, his eyes showing terror.

'Corrupted and unworthy soul, you shall acquire demise of absolute, path to eternal darkness, and contribute to the worthy.'

'This is my law. This is my absolute. My will is everything to my fair judgment. No one shall bend it. No one can break it.'

The monotone and archaic voice finished before Leoron's soul wisp turned black and vanished.

…

[You have gained 1 Patron point.]

Erix suddenly heard a notification as he sat back at his table.

"Eh?"

Seeing Erix's surprised face and voice, Rin asked, "What happened?"

"I got something like 1 Patron point," Erix confusedly said, "Is it related to that statue?"

Suddenly, he saw a panel popping up in his mind.

[Patron Realm]

_Leaderboard Rank: Unranked.

--> Yet to enter any challenge.

_Patron point: 1

_Patron shop.

—> [ Open - Close ]

"What the hell is this?" Erix was dumbfounded.

Erix shared the panel details, but even Lilith didn't know anything about that.

"It seems that we'll have to ask Granny May about this," Lilith rubbed his chin. "We'll visit her after we leave this kingdom."
