Chapter 440-Ronin vs Archangel Peter

<Extinguish >

"Heh, do you think you can intimidate me with such a feeble assault?" Ronin didn't attempt to evade and took the full brunt of Peter's attack.

Boom!

The entire area transformed into a battlefield, prompting people to flee in panic.

"Hmm, as expected of Lord Peter, he can eliminate the demon with a mere flick of his finger," Remo marveled, deepening his reverence.

Peter looked at Remo disdainfully and sneered, "Hmmp, dare you call yourselves geniuses in the clan when you five cannot even slay a lowly, lineage-less demon, and one of your comrades has perished? Were it not for the fact that you're the grandson of the Holy One, I'd have already dispatched you for disturbing my peace."

The young angels hung their heads in shame, avoiding eye contact.

Remo, too, felt ashamed. The truth was that he had relied on his grandfather's status to attain his current level and secure the leadership role for this expedition.

"Hey hey, don't be too hard on the kids. After all, you also failed to vanquish a lineage-less demon like me, hehe,"

Ronin interjected suddenly, appearing behind Peter and casually draping his arms over Peter's shoulders, as though they were equals.

"Huh?" Peter was taken aback and swiftly aimed a punch at Ronin.

However, Ronin evaded the attack, and his hands swiftly claimed the lives of two more angels.

Boom!

"How can you still be alive?"

Peter gaped at Ronin, who held two angel heads in his hands and tossed them to the ground like discarded toys.

He then opened his mouth, and the souls of the two angels were devoured.

"Wow, I've missed the taste of angelic souls, kekeke,"

Ronin remarked, savoring the moment.

Ronin then focused his attention on Peter and remarked, "Hmm, an Archangel, huh? I remember facing one of your Holy Ones, and he didn't even last a minute against me."

Peter and the other geniuses were left dumbfounded and exchanged mocking glances.

"Hey hey, don't believe me? Give me a moment... I'm recalling his name," Ronin said thoughtfully.

"Who would believe you" one of the angels said.

"Aha! I've got it now. His name was Luke, the Holy One of the Spear."

"Hehe, I remember reducing his holy spear to dust,"

Ronin reminisced about his past actions, leaving Peter in shock, while the other geniuses were clueless about who Luke was.

"Who are you? How do you know his name? It should have been forgotten by anyone below Transcendent Beings,"

Peter asks and his astonishment is apparent. The title of Holy One was bestowed upon only the mightiest heroes of the Ten Commandments, a position that earned them immense respect from the Angel Clan, who served the Ten Commandments.

The title was reserved for those who had reached the pinnacle of heroism, and there had been only 20 Holy Ones in history, all blessed by all Ten Commandments, with astonishing power capable of challenging gods.

Only five of the Holy Ones had perished during the war against the demons, and one of them had been assassinated by the notorious Assassin King, Noeh.

Creating a Holy One was one of the ways the gods assisted in the fight against the demons and demon lords in the abyss. Becoming a Holy One was an arduous task, but individuals of any race had the potential to achieve this status.

Among them, three humans had become Holy Ones, including Luke, the Spear Hero. Unfortunately, Luke met his end when he attempted to hunt down the Assassin King, Noeh.

When a Holy One passed away, their existence was erased as a form of payment for the divine powers they had received. Only transcendent beings and those above were exempt from this fate.

Now, upon hearing Ronin effortlessly mention Luke's name, Peter realized that Ronin was far from ordinary.

Peter looked at the remaining three angelic geniuses and decided to ensure their safety by moving them to a secure location.

Ronin observed Peter and commented, "Hmm, Peter huh? Archangel Peter, oh, your name wasn't there before, so you must be a new Archangel."

Peter was once again taken aback, increasingly convinced that Ronin was an ancient entity residing within a youthful form.

"So what?"

Peter retorted.

"I will eliminate you for disrespecting me and my race."

"Step back a little,"

He instructed. He waved his hands, pushing the three angelic geniuses away from himself and out of the immediate area.

"Oh, do you think my target can leave this place alive?"

Ronin laughed, and a mark appeared on his hands, which Peter instantly recognized.

"Shit, a demonic art,"

Peter muttered. He glanced at the three geniuses and noticed that they each bore a mark on their foreheads. It was too late for him to react.

<Demonic Arts>

<Mark of the Reaper>

Suddenly, the marks on the foreheads of the three individuals radiated with a sinister glow, and shadowy figures materialized in front of them, as if they were being dragged into a dark and eerie realm saturated with death energy.

"No!" "Please save us" the three geniuses cried out, and Peter desperately attempted to save them.

However, Ronin acted faster, and the three were devoured in an instant.

"Damn, that skill is one of the specialties of the Necromancer King. How in the world does he possess it?"

Peter realized that the situation had taken a dire turn, and the Holy Ones would be furious with him for failing to protect his grandson.

"Tsk, since you killed him, I must present your head to them to lessen my punishment."

<Celestial Arts>

<Thousand Holy Explosion>

Suddenly, thousands of feathers surged toward Ronin, resulting in a massive explosion.

Boom!

"As expected of an Archangel, your celestial arts are formidable,"

Ronin commented. Suddenly, he reappeared in the air, seemingly unharmed and relatively undamaged.

"You arrogant bastard!"

Peter snapped his fingers, summoning a colossal sword of light that hurtled toward Ronin, each strike carrying deadly intent.

Boom!

"Tsk, my powers a,nd celestial arts are confined to this form. You're fortunate it's not my true body here; otherwise, you wouldn't have had time to react before your demise."

Peter, not sensing Ronin's presence, believed he had finally vanquished his foe.

However, he soon detected a formidable presence just 100 meters away.

"Oh no, what is this massive magic circle?"

"This can't be..."
