Eternal Icicle Rainfall

While Azaroth was peacefully absorbing the death energy that had spread in Kloras Town, the Three-Eyed White Wolf and his army of beasts appeared in the area.

These were the ferocious beasts that had still not shown themselves on the battlefield just yet.

Purple Horned Rhino, Seals, Apes, Giraffe, Wild Cats, Red Spot Leopard, Wolves, Bull, Bears, or the birds such as Vulture, Hawks, Sparrows, Eagle, Kingfisher, and so on were some of the species that showed up at this moment.

Azaroth remained concealed because of the unique location and array, but the same could not be stated about the rest of the human warriors who had slaughtered the beasts in this area.

"Exterminate all humans."

The Three-Eyed White Wolf howled as he gave this order to all the beasts and birds.

The beasts let out loud, excited roars as they charged in Kloras Town.

The ground rumbled as they charged forwards…

Azaroth was disturbed while he was absorbing the death energy, and he frowned 'They wouldn't accidentally go past this spot, right? Looks like I need to stay alert. I might need to jump away at a moment's notice.'

The ground continued to rumble as the other humans also turned their heads and caught sight of a horde of beasts coming at them.

Needless to say, none of the warriors could deal with so many beasts at the same time. Even the best amongst them could only prolong their deaths as they were either slashed to death or stomped underneath the beasts' feet.

In this way, other than Azaroth, not a single warrior in Kloras Town survived the beasts' second wave.

The Three-Eyed White Wolf didn't feel any need for him to personally deal with any human warriors. Instead, he went over to the location where the Abyssal Hound had died.

However, surprisingly, he couldn't see its corpse or its enemy's corpse.

It was as if their presence had suddenly disappeared from the face of this world.

"Interesting… So there was still someone else who took their corpses." The Three-Eyed White Wolf was quite curious about this individual who possessed the Abyssal Hound's corpse.

In reality, the Three-Eyed White Wolf had known that the Abyssal Hound was in danger because his Third Eye allowed him to sense and see better than other beings.

However, he didn't give the order to charge because he wanted the Abyssal Hound to die.

The Three-Eyed White Wolf's main motive was to come and kill the enemy Abyssal Hound was fighting and eat the Abyssal Hound's corpse.

The beasts had some simple ways to power up. Some were strong from birth because of their bloodline, and they merely needed time to process that energy. Meanwhile, the other beasts needed to eat and accumulate enough energy until they could evolve.

The things they could eat were fossils, heavenly herbs, and mainly corpses of fellow beasts.

The Three-Eyed White Wolf had multiple opportunities to attack and eat the Abyssal Hound. Still, it had resisted them since it knew that if he took advantage when the Abyssal Hound's Spirit was injured so heavily, he wouldn't benefit much from it.

He needed to first make the Abyssal Hound's Spirit recover completely and then kill it and devour its corpse.

Currently, the Three-Eyed White Wolf was a mid-ranked 5 Star Beast. But he was quite sure that if he swallowed the Abyssal Hound's corpse, he could reach the high-ranked 5 Star Beast or maybe even get to the peak as a 5 Star Beast.

The Three-Eyed White Wolf activated his spiritual eye and began to look for clues.

Unfortunately, as the White Wolf opened his spiritual eye, all he saw was a dark haze that effectively blinded him for a couple of seconds.

It was as if this dark gaze was covered all around this area where the Abyssal Hound had died.

The White Wolf was stunned for some seconds as he thought 'This wasn't present earlier when I peeked at the fight between that Abyssal Hound and that warrior. Just what is this haze?'

This was something left behind by Azaroth. Before Azaroth dispersed the formation that effectively killed Peter, he used the last bit of Death Energy to cover the entire area so that no one could find his clues by investigating spiritually.

Even a 5 Star Beast such as this Three-Eyed White Wolf wouldn't be able to disperse this spiritual haze easily. To remotely affect this death energy flooding this area, the White Wolf would first need to gain insight into this death energy.

And such a thing was impossible for someone to do so in mere hours or even days. Even the humans with the most extraordinary comprehensive power would require months to gain insight and control the death energy.

Azaroth needed years to gain insight and then more years to control the death energy as a demon. And that was when he regularly dealt with the death energy because of how he advanced as a demon.

The Three-Eyed White Wolf had little to no chance to find Azaroth with his Third Eye.

Azaroth had already masked his scent, so no beast could use their senses to find his location.

Soon, there appeared to be a grin on the Three-Eyed White Wolf's face, "So that being thinks it can use such a trick and hide from me? Interesting…"

In Kloras Town's center, Azaroth suddenly opened his eyes as he sensed a strange killing intent. His senses that had been refined by testing himself against death screamed at him that he needed to run immediately!

Azaroth somehow calmed down his racing heart.

"Another issue of being a human. They are so easily excited or frightened." Since Azaroth was absorbing the Death Energy, he was in his standard form.

He understood that since his senses were warning him, something extraordinary was going to occur very soon.

Azaroth suddenly sensed different flame and water elemental attacks from the west.

He was surprised because these attacks were shot in the air.

"Huh? What are these beasts doing? Are they going crazy? Or is there something in the sky they are targeting?" Azaroth continued to glance at the sky to find who they were targeting.

In that area, he saw no birds even with his Mystic Eyes of Perception.

He then looked down and saw many beasts standing near the White Wolf, and most of them were Water elemental beasts or Fire elemental beasts.

The water and the flames collided with each other and produced a lot of steam.

Suddenly, it clicked in Azaroth's mind!

'I see…They are trying to create artificial rainfall!' Azaroth soon figured out a part of their motive. However, he soon questioned himself 'But why? Just what type of attack are they planning that they need rainfall?'

Azaroth then sensed the White Wolf near those beasts.

His eyes widened in horror as he understood just what these beasts were planning 'Oh shit! Is this thing actually serious?!'

Now that he noticed it, the beasts had already killed all the human warriors in Kloras Town and were retreating from this city. Only the beasts with the Fire Ardor and Water Ardor remained near the White Wolf.

A small sweatdrop appeared behind Azaroth's head as he had a forced smile, "It's a pity that I won't be able to absorb all of it today. Well, I have already absorbed two-third of the death energy created by the deaths of Kloras Town civilians. I guess I can't be too greedy."

Azaroth went in his Demonic Transformation Mode. It had gotten much stronger after Azaroth had absorbed all that Death Energy and added it to his reserves.

"I hope my body is strong enough for me to use this move."

"Phantom Flash!"

As he spoke those words, Azaroth vanished from the spot.

His speed was nearly twice as compared to when he used the Phantom Step.

Meanwhile, the White Wolf's preparations were complete now.

The sky above Kloras Town was covered with black rainy clouds…

The White Wolf howled loudly. It was so loud that the beasts outside of the Kloras Town also heard it.

Azaroth kept his nerves as steady as he could since he knew what this signified.

"Eternal Icicle Rainfall!"

Each raindrop that was about to fall down on the earth was crystallized into hard ice. As it fell down towards the ground, the icicles' speed continued to increase.

All the Kloras Town buildings that still stood were now reduced to rubble as this Ice Rainfall occurred.

Meanwhile, Azaroth was using the Phantom Flash to run away from this area, and he felt three Icicles scratch his body.

Fortunately, he possessed the Hell Flames, and he could immediately heat up that part of his body, or else that part of his body would have caught frostbite and become dead skin.

Recovering from frostbite that occurred because of a 5 Star Beast's attack would require a lot of effort.

Even though Hell Flames assisted him with preventing frostbite, Azaroth had to feel the burn from these flames.

As he experienced those burns, he was reminded of when he was trying to force these flames to acknowledge him as its master.

"Phantom Flash!" Azaroth used this technique even though the previous one's effect hadn't finished yet.

He wanted to increase his speed beyond the limit, or else, if one of these icicles hit his head, he would be done for.

Currently, Azaroth's speed was so high that even amongst the 5 Star Beasts, only a Lightning Cheetah could catch up to Azaroth while it runs at its full speed.

Even though Azaroth was successfully going past this area with this Ice Rain, he wasn't happy at all. Much of his skin began to tear apart as he ran at such high speed…

Especially the skin on his legs… Quite a bit had been burnt, and Azaroth was already feeling the muscle pain of pushing his body beyond its limits.

Combining that pain with that of the burning sensation in his right hand, it was challenging for Azaroth to get past this Ice Rain.

Even though it only took Azaroth 6-7 seconds to get out of that area, he felt as if he had been suffering for eternity.

Moreover, as Azaroth left Kloras Town, he saw many beasts in his way.

Azaroth's speed was so high that he couldn't make a sharp turn at such a moment, so he did the sensible thing…

He decided to go past them, killing anyone in his way.

For a second, the beasts also remained stunned as they saw a being covered in dark aura charge out of the city.

Because of no one to command them at that moment, they couldn't reach an immediate decision. However, most of them still got ready to fight. This was their basic instinct…

When Azaroth noted their reactions, he had a disdainful smile on his face.

To him, as he stared ahead, he only saw fodder that looked ready to die. It was pretty regretful since he wouldn't be able to collect their corpses.

A blade appeared in Azaroth's hand… This was a very normal sword.

However, as it was flooded by Azaroth's demonic energy, it was reinforced, empowered into a demonic sword that wouldn't lose to exceptional swords of its own rank.
