Reincarnated Golden Emperor

It created a perfect defense formed of Demonic Magic Energy around her with a height of 350 meters above the ground.

Saito sneered in his heart as he gazed upon this defense. Suddenly, two of the seven tails of Naomi suddenly appeared from the demonic energy and attempted to attack Saito.

With rolled towards Naomi's direction while channeling a great amount of Hell-Fire within his sword. He quickly stood up and stabbed the Nightfall Sword in the ground while speaking with a crazed look on his face, "Blazing Inferno!"

The Hell Fire magic within his sword seemed moved within the ground as the magic targeted Naomi. As soon as it encountered Naomi's body, the Black Fire Inferno erupted as if it was an active volcano.

It completely enveloped the Demonic defense that Naomi had created for herself. Even though the Inferno had managed to completely envelop her defense, Naomi wasn't worried at all as she spoke with no worry on her face, "To think you would forget that your Hell Flames are useless against my magic."

"I didn't forget." Came Saito's reply which caused Naomi to frown slightly. She raised her brow as she widened her eyes 'This attack… It wasn't used to injure me. He used this attack to prevent me from seeing. It is impossible to see through the Hell Flames even with my spiritual sense.'

With a hint of self-ridicule, she thought in her head 'Looks like I underestimated this fellow too much. I can't make a move against him now. To make a move against him, I will have to lower down the Demonic Defence… but if I do that then I would have to contend against the Hell-Fire with purely my physical body which is nothing other than courting death.'

To think she was trapped within her own Demonic Defence. She had no choice but to wait until the Blazing Inferno ends. According to her estimates, it would take 10 seconds.

She still wasn't that worried as she internally sighed 'It isn't that bad of a situation but I would need to be careful in executing this move again. The Demonic Defence should be able to hold off any of the attacks-'

Her thoughts were interrupted when a sword suddenly passed through the Demonic Defence and passed through her stomach. Before she could even react to the shock, she heard Saito's cold voice, "Heaven's Lightning… Obliterate!"

Those words seemed like a command to the Red Lightning as it immediately passed through the Black Nightfall Sword to destroy Naomi's body.

Her eyes widened in surprise as she felt the cells of her body being destroyed one by one. She spoke with a strange smile, "My mate, you are truly capable. To be able to kill me is nothing short of exceptional."

"Seems like you can't keep your mouth shut near your death." The Hell Flames dispersed into nothing and Naomi's eyes met up with Saito's emerald-colored eyes.

With a strange yet confident expression, she said, "Be prepared."

"Prepared?" Asked Saito in confusion.

"Prepared for war. In half a year, I promise to declare war against the Elf Kingdom. I would have recovered my whole strength by then." At this time, the lower half of her body was completely destroyed.

Saito's pupils widened in shock. However, he was quick in regaining his calm look and say "War against you? But you are going to die here now. Are you saying that you can still survive this? Don't kid yourself…!"

"Obviously… I am not going to survive this. At least, this body won't. It would hurt my soul quite a bit and I wouldn't even be able to reap the benefits. It's honestly quite vexing for me." After she finished speaking, her whole body disappeared.

Saito stood with shock written on his face as he tried to understand what had just happened. He spoke within his mind 'Iris… Was she speaking the truth? Is this not her true body?'

[Yes, master. This seems to be the body formed by splitting her own soul into two parts and a huge amount of blood essence which transformed into her body. One body with 75% of her soul power while the other would contain the 25% of her soul.]

With a grim look on his face, Saito asked Iris 'What happens now that I destroyed this body with 25% of her soul?'

[It has been destroyed. Everything she had done with this body had vanished into thin air. If she had merged with this body then she would have received tremendous benefits but Master has destroyed it. Her soul power is damaged and she would require a long time to recover it, after all, repairing her own soul which is already so strong is very hard.]

Placing his hands under his chin, Saito thought 'Hoh… So that explains the fact the 6 months' time for the war. No… I cannot trust her word for this. She could have said this to make me let down my guard. She could attack next month or 3 months later or maybe 5 months later. I have to be ready… In fact, I have to find her location and kill her. Even though I don't fear war against her but it would be wise for me to avoid causalities.'

He noticed another presence that had shortened the distance between them while Saito was thinking.

He relaxed his grip on the sword and let the blow flow normally. Since this new guy was also an enemy of Naomi, Saito felt that there would be no need to fight.

However, Alvaneth greeted him by sending out a Purple Sword Qi. Saito frowned a bit and tried to deflect that Sword Qi with Nightfall Sword.

Saito's whole body shook as he intercepted the Purple Sword Qi with Nightfall Sword. The force of this Sword Qi was beyond what he expected. The Sword flew out of his loosely gripped hands.

"Wait! Why are you attacking me?" Saito asked with a calm look while hiding his surprise.

Alvaneth stopped in front of Saito. Both of them carefully observed each other.

"Why did you kill that fox?" This question came as a surprise for Saito who thought that this guy was following Naomi because the two of them were enemies.

He answered back with a calm look, "What do you mean why? She is my enemy so I killed her."

This answer caused Alvaneth to falter a bit for some moments before he said, "Pick up your sword. Fight me in place of her."

"Huh? Fight?" Saito was really confused at this point. Just what did this guy want. Was he being retarded?

"Yes, fight. I wanted to tame that fox. Since you have destroyed that plan of mine, I will take you." Alvaneth said with not a hint of hesitance in his voice.

Saito was dumbfounded at the words of Alvaneth and the confidence he carried. He let out a sigh while thinking 'So he wants to tame me huh…'

Since there was no other choice, he opened his palm towards Nightfall Sword's direction while shouting, "Come, Nightfall!"

This time, he mentally noted to be careful of his Sword Qi. Alvaneth rushed towards him without saying anything. Right now, he was utterly enraged.

Even though Saito had not remembered him, how could he forget the damage Saito inflicted on his very soul.

The day he was reborn. Wasn't it because of Saito who had destroyed the Demonic Statue and the ceremony of his revival? If not for the sacrifice of that Great Demonic King's Soul then even he may not have survived that.

He had clearly noted that face in his head and wanted to take his revenge at all costs. Meanwhile, Saito had completely no idea who he was facing since he had thought that he was successful in destroying that Demonic God Statue.

Saito had never even seen this man in his entire life so how could he know that this was the very same Demon God whose soul was nearly annihilated by him.

Saito rushed towards Alvaneth and fought him in close combat. He thought with his Nightfall Sword and his own speed, it would be no problem to fight in close combat.

Their swords clashed against each other. Neither side showed any signs of backing off. Saito used his superior speed to gain the upper hand but after two to three clashes, he frowned and thought 'Even with my superior speed, I can't gain the upper hand against him. He is really skilled with the sword. It seems that I have to step up…'

A bolt of red lightning crackled around his Black Sword as he muttered slowly, "Dragon Bolt!" A stream of lightning discharged from Nightfall Sword. Its shape resembled that of the dragon.

With a straight face, Alvaneth raised his free hand and used his Demonic Magic to counter Saito's attack.

Since he was busy dealing with his attack. Saito immediately rushed towards him and tried to slash him.

Yet a surprising thing was that he was blocked by a Purple Colored Sword Qi.. Another four appeared which targeted Saito's hands and legs.
