This smoke wasn’t smoke that came from the flames being extinguished.
This smoke was the smoke that was released when the corruption energy was being purified by the divine energy.
However, this smoke alone didn’t mean that it was the Apostle of Destruction being hit.
At the same time, the smoke was actually blocking sight of the Apostle of Destruction to confirm that it was having an effect on the Apostle of Destruction.
Eventually, Joan ran out of breath and out of flames.
There was no telling if the Apostle of Destruction had been taken down or not, but with how much smoke appeared and how the patch of ground that it had been standing on was covered in a ball of flames...
Well, it was hard to believe that the Apostle of Destruction was still alive.
Even if it called itself one of the Four Omens.
Only this feeling of suspense didn’t last long as an inhuman roar suddenly came from the middle of the smoke.
The moment that this strange roar rang out, it was clear that the Apostle of Destruction was still alive.
However, the wavering tone of the roar showed that even if this Apostle of Destruction was one of the Four Omens, it didn’t mean that it would be able to resist being hurt when it was hit with this attack head on.
So everyone tensed themselves as they waited for the smoke to clear.
But the moment that the smoke cleared, there were shocked looks that appeared on their faces.
After all, the Apostle of Destruction that they thought would have been taken care of was just standing there as if nothing had happened.
Everyone had thought that the Apostle of Destruction would at least be hurt, but it didn’t seem like it had even budged from where it was standing.
The only thing that seemed to change was its chest where there was this strange warped part of it. At the same time, there was this black liquid that seemed to be coming from that strange warped part of its chest.
After the smoke cleared, the Apostle of Destruction just brought its hand down to its chest and then wiped off that liquid before bringing its hand up to where its face would have been.
Looking at this liquid for a bit, it looked back up at me and said, "All this for a drop of blood?"
The tone of its voice was naturally filled with disdain as it said this.
But there was a clear tremor in its voice as well that seemed like it was containing its rage.
From the beginning, the way that this Apostle of Destruction acted was as if it viewed itself as something that was above everyone else. So for it to be injured by the things that it looked down on, it was only natural that it would feel rage.
After it finished looking at the blood that it shed, the Apostle of Destruction flicked that liquid off its finger before pointing that finger forward at me.
As it did, there was a tremble that came from behind it.
This was coming from the array formed from the corruption energy behind it.
After a while, that array formed from corruption energy suddenly exploded.
The moment that it exploded, it spewed out corruption energy that went towards the Apostle of Destruction. That corruption energy clearly had a target and it seemed like it was the Apostle of Destruction.
Once the corruption energy gathered by the Apostle of Destruction, it seemed to form some kind of ring around it.
This ring of corruption energy continued to grow until it covered a large area around the Apostle of Destruction.
However, we still had no idea what this ring was.
That was until the Apostle of Destruction suddenly raised its hand again.
The moment that it did, there were all kinds of things that came out of the ring of corruption energy.
It was unlike before where there were only those strange creatures that appeared. This time, there were those strange creatures, but there were also creatures that were far more strange in appearance than those creatures from before.
It was hard to even tell what we were looking at with the appearance that these things had.
However, there was one thing that was clear...
"Retreat!"
Though we had gathered the elite forces of the different races, there were just too many of these corruption energy creatures for us to fight. Not to mention that there was the Apostle of Destruction that none of us could hurt that were also there.
If we were to insist on fighting the Apostle of Destruction when it was surrounded by all of these different monsters, there was no doubt that we would suffer heavy casualties.
So the only thing that we could do now was retreat.
Even if it meant giving the Apostle of Destruction and the forces of Destruction to gather their power, we really didn’t have another choice.
Only it didn’t seem like the Apostle of Destruction was planning on letting us go that easily.
Pointing a finger in front of it, the Apostle of Destruction said, "Slaughter them."
The others reacted when I gave the order, but there were too many of them that came after us.
Everyone did what they could to put up a fight against the forces of Destruction, but eventually there was one that fell.
Right after that first person fell, it didn’t take long before others fell to the forces of Destruction as well.
But even then, we did all that we could to get out of this place and avoid being caught by the forces of Destruction. We could only step over the bodies of our comrades to try and escape this place.
The problem for me was that the Apostle of Destruction seemed to hold a personal grudge against me.
There was this bird that was formed from the corruption energy that the Apostle of Destruction got on and started following me with.
It didn’t seem like the Apostle of Destruction wanted to let me escape.
