Chapter 3510: Bait?

"Yotan, I told you we didn't need your help..."

"Uhm... I..."

Yotan didn't know what to say to Lea.

She was totally ready to give up her life at that moment in order to protect Lea and this random child she didn't recognize. However, she garnered if Lea was protectively holding her, then she determined that they needed to be protected and gathered every Reaper Soul Legion member in order to form a battle formation, becoming able to defend even against Level Nine Immortal Emperor attacks, although barely.

However, the little child was then thrown out from the protective zone of the battle formation, leaving her shocked. She was about to go rescue her but then suddenly felt the familiar undulations, shocking her.

The little girl who was thrown turned out to be in Calypsea in disguise. She couldn't believe Calypsea could control her undulations to such a level, but thinking about it, she saw the disguise wasn't natural.

She didn't know what to say as this felt like...

"Sorry we didn't tell you because it would alert the enemy if we can't fool our own patrols, but yes, Calypsea was bait this whole time."

Lea wryly smiled, sending a soul transmission, "The first warning was intentional, but the second one wouldn't be as Calypsea would definitely would kill the hostile Immortal Emperor, no questions asked. Still, even though I walked with her, no one dared to take the bait until these four stepped up..."

"They're retarded, to say the least..." Even Lea couldn't help but feel pity for them.

If they, as the hosts, couldn't assess the strength they could defend against, they wouldn't be letting these people inside in the first place. Such a simple truth was mistaken as a weakness because they thought of it like the hosts couldn't block them from entering the city.

She pitied their old brains, feeling like they lived their lives long for nothing.

*Bzzz!~*

Lea saw Calypsea hover toward Pasha and the two others.

Calypsea had entered the Level Seven Immortal Emperor Stage recently, but that was it. Lea advised her to seal her cultivation to prevent it from affecting the space as it couldn't handle Empyrean-level undulations, and therefore, Calypsea had to learn to control her energy better.

Before leaving Saintess Lunaria's home, she also got a parting gift from Saintess Lunaria that allowed a spirit to disguise themselves as humans and, by doing so, disallow them to use their energy properly until dispelled.

It was just the right technique for this banquet and also the base for the plan Mingzhi came up with to use Calypsea as bait, and her reasoning was that it wouldn't be good to keep a destructive spirit suppressed for long, leaving her slightly convinced of this plan.

She must say Mingzhi was a good negotiator, but now, she watched Mingzhi tremble against those terrifying undulations along with the offers.

"What!- You!"

"Stop...! Emperor of Death, please save us!"

Even the ones who did nothing turned terrified as Calypsea moved towards them while unleashing her undulations.

"Calypsea, control your strength. You wouldn't need to use much prowess to kill these three."

Davis pointed at Pasha and the two others, causing Calypsea's eyes to flash.

"Yes, master~"

Her soft yet calm voice set many hearts ablaze. They couldn't help but find it cute but also ridiculous, as her prowess was off the charts. But as they sensed her retract her prowess to the four levels higher instead of eight levels higher, they were able to somewhat breathe again.

Davis nodded on seeing Calypsea reduce her prowess by half.

It was enough to kill Pasha and the other two. His lips couldn't help but curl as he saw they were unable to move, but he didn't find it surprising since Calypsea's apocalyptic undulations were focused on those three.

It was even more terrifying than his death energy when seen from another perspective, as Calypsea's apocalyptic flames were the ender of realms, the most terrifying destructive force he had come across in the universe.

*Bong~*

Pasha barely managed to beat his war drum while still shuddering crazily, but he couldn't even bring himself to use half his energy from fear taking root in his heart, causing the artifact to be unable to unleash its full might.

In fact, even the artifact was shuddering in Calypsea's presence, its own vibrations canceling out the sound it unleashed as a dampening sound resonated, doing nothing to stop Calypsea.

Calypsea closed the gap slowly. A wish of apocalyptic flame appeared in her palm, which she flicked towards Pasha.

*Sizzle!~*

The purplish-black flame wisp instantly traversed across space to land on Pasha, setting ablaze both him and the artifact in terrifying apocalyptic flames!

"Aghhaaaaaa!!!"

Pasha screamed out from the unbearable pain of having his flesh burned, finally causing the other two to awaken from the fear that took root in their hearts. They shot towards the exit by circling around Calypsea, but suddenly, they found their legs bound by some strange vines.

It made their hearts shudder as they knew they were caught by that woman called Lereza, who had protected the Emperor of Death when an outsider from the true immortal world attacked the Emperor of Death.

They were particularly careful of her, but due to Calypsea's presence, their focus collapsed, allowing them to be caught.

*Sizzle!~* *Sizzle!~*

Two more apocalyptic flame wisps fell on their bodies, setting them ablaze.

Like Pasha, their screams died down within seconds, their bodies having turned into ashes.

Even the war drum was a piece of burned scrap at this moment, causing numerous souls to shudder in fright.

How can such a being exist? Just what kind of flame was that? It seemed even more terrifying than the annihilative heavenly flames that they had seen from the Emperor of Death.

Fairy Thunderblaze also sighed.

Calypsea was even stronger than before when she was at the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm, not thinking it was possible.

Those flames didn't seem like they were something she could hope to control, nor did she want to, as her path was different. However, her gaze fell on Lea, wondering if she was capable of that as she could sense a faint amount of karmic connection between them, which meant they shared a spirit pact.
