Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 888 Darkness Devours

Chapter 888 Darkness Devours

Nadia didn't make any moves as she kept looking at the flaming palm above her. It blazed in front of her face like the hot sun, and the heatwave became worse and worse as the battle technique closed the distance in an earth-scorching manner.
However, the more the Nine Hell Sky Palm approached her, the more she could sense that it appeared to be on the verge of self-imploding! It could be seen that Coyle Alstreim didn't have complete control over this technique.
Indeed, at the rear, Coyle Alstreim's expression flickered, and his arms trembled. It seemed that he had immense difficulties controlling the technique.
Watching the technique, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim inwardly nodded his head.
How could it be so easy to control this battle technique that took him many years to reach this level? It made him proud since he was able to control Nine Hell Sky Palm - Seventh Waves to a proficient degree.
The mighty and tall flaming palm finally closed in on Nadia. The flames that it radiated made it unable for the people to witness what was happening as scorching light blinded their eyes. The last thing they saw was the poor woman being engulfed by the excess flames that were jetted out by the flaming palm, probably the side-effect of not being appropriately controlled.
Coyle Alstreim didn't hesitate. His arm swelled in a wriggling manner as he clenched his palm!
The blazing palm's large and long fingers enclosed Nadia into a prison, trying to roast her body into ashes! The flames that made the entire palm continuously moved towards the center of the palm to scorch Nadia to death!
"Wuaah! That's a seriously stupid magical beast. To take the Nine Hell Sky Palm like that to the face... Courting death!" Young Master Weiss Alstreim sneered.
"It can't be..." Nora Alstreim thought of a possibility, but she felt that it was almost impossible.
The next moment, the enclosed flaming palm seemed to become dark crimson flames. However, it wasn't just that. The flames increasing became dark before they completely became a sea of shadow.
It was as if a huge shadow engulfed the battle technique!
Flames engulfed by a shadow?
Darkness!
This thought screamed in everyone's mind before the entirety of the flaming palm was instantly devoured by the darkness as if being gobbled! It looked as if an enormous shadow creature was eating the flaming palm, not even letting a bit of the writhing and twisting flames escape from its devouring range.
"Impossible!" Coyle Alstreim shouted in disbelief.
To him, it was clear that the darkness encasing his Nine Hell Sky Palm - Seven Waves possessed the capability to snuff out his technique. However, his technique contained Fire Laws that countered Darkness Laws. Even though Fire Laws does not exactly counter Darkness Laws like Light Laws, it should still possess a binding and suppressing effect against Darkness Laws.
But the reality was entirely different!
The magical beast's darkness technique had devoured his flames! Even if it was a King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf, he didn't think that it was capable of devouring his, the Alstreim Family's prided technique!
"Where are you looking at?" A melodious voice echoed.
Coyle Alstreim's scalp turned numb before he fiercely turned his head. His disheveled blonde hair followed suit, and within the strands of his blonde hair disrupting his sight, he saw that gorgeous woman, the stunning and elegant-looking female magical beast looking at him like how a magical beast would look at its prey.
Nadia swung her hand in a sudden manner.
Coyle Alstreim froze as he saw the attack. He was finished! He didn't have any time to counterattack, nor did he think that he would be sneak attacked at this time as he felt Nadia was within the sea of darkness and flames. The hand that ripped apart the air like claws fiercely came at his face. It was clad in rabid darkness, seemingly capable of devouring anything in its wake!
Perhaps, her small hand even had the power to behead him and kill his soul!
While thinking all of this in an instant, he subconsciously closed his eyes, accepting the fate of death. However, no matter how he waited, the awaited death didn't come, but a voice echoed.
"Let's leave it at that, shall we? After all, it's just a spar..."
It was the voice of a male, a strong, reliable, and reputable voice!
"Ancestor!" Coyle Alstreim yelled in glee, but his expression froze when he saw the scene in front of him.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim held Nadia's wrist. The sleeves of his right hand seemed to be shredded into pieces as darkness swirled around, but it was just that his skin possessed a thin layer of flames seemingly capable of deflecting the darkness from harming him.
Nadia's eyes narrowed into two tiny slits as she felt her hand had been captured. Her eyes twitched, and she recognized the person in front of her that it was none other than Ancestor Dian Alstreim himself. Her heart constricted for a moment, but that was it as she didn't allow herself to become afraid.
She started to struggle to move away from his grasp but didn't dare to attack him.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows. Even if Nadia was a King-Tier Magical Beast who could match him with her strength at her peak, it didn't matter. Currently, she was just a fleeting magical beast in front of him.
"This isn't appropriate, no?" Davis's deep voice echoed out. It was from his Solitary Soul Avatar.
"Yes, my actions weren't appropriate. It was just that I couldn't tell the intent of this... Nadia. Her actions are secretive, concealed yet ruthless, and I can't tell if she possesses killing intent. I can't have Coyle Alstreim dying on my watch, and so, I decided to save him even if it meant a loss to my face."
Davis became taken aback by the answer, but he nodded since Ancestor Dian Alstreim accepted his mistake, "I see. However, I can tell that Nadia possessed no killing intent, and besides, if Nadia wanted to kill, even I would possess fewer chances of stopping her through force."
"Hmm?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows as he turned to look at Nadia.
Just when he saw her rosy lips curve, a bad feeling arose in his heart.
He quickly turned to look at Coyle Alstreim and saw that he was restricted by an eerie form of darkness swirling around him. That darkness manifested as if it took form into reality.
Coyle Alstreim gulped as he felt a palm on his head. It was soft, warm, but terrifying and deadly. It was unknown what kind of technique that he was being restricted with, but it was like shackles that instantly bound him. He realized that he completely got caught off-guard.
When he realized Ancestor Dian Alstreim was here to save him, he didn't bother to put on defenses at that moment, and his battle instincts had dulled because he had given himself to death just a few moments ago.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at another Nadia checkmating Coyle Alstreim. Perhaps with a surge of darkness energy from her palm, Coyle Alstreim would end up dead in an instant. Magical beasts usually didn't attack the soul, and neither did the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf's. However, the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf possessed a species technique that targeted the soul!
