Chapter 457 Harnessign the power of the Concepts (II)
"I am a sun, an embodiment of power capable of sundering all the darkness!"
As he uttered those words, the Scarlet King lowered his index finger, and the next second, an invisible arc of energy clashed against the wall, leaving a deep cut.
"I sunder all the obstacles in my path; that is my way, which is why I can summon the power of the Sundering Concept. But what are you?"
After that demonstration, the Scarlet King focused on Dark Mask, and this one softly nodded before taking a deep breath, unleashing a blue force field. Initially, his Ego Wave had been white, but over the last couple of months, it had undergone a change as he embraced the identity of Dark Mask more and more.

While seeing that change in color made the Scarlet King nod softly, there was no actual modification in the power or might of the Ego Wave, as the color was just a basic preference of the individual.
The blue force field didn't take long to coalesce and give birth to a mountain. There was no life in it, and its surface was extremely flat, as if it had endured a long torment under the power of the elements, but it stood firm.
"Solid Mountain."
The Scarlet King focused on the mountain, and he could see that Dark Mask's past had been very harsh, having suffered great pain but managed to endure without breaking. It was a formidable quality that could open the gates to great power.
Suddenly, the power of the Sun Seed burst, as fierce scarlet flames flooded the Solid Mountain, making a painful expression appear in Dark Mask's eyes.
"My willpower burns everything in my path. Nothing can stop me from rising into the sky and sundering the firmament. What do you do as you face my flames!?"
Dark Mask heard those words inside his mind as the scarlet flames kept striking his mountain. A flash of confusion appeared in his eyes as that question carried a deep meaning, but he could not find the answer.
"What do you do as you face my flames!?"
Some of the Apotheosis Realm Masters who had gone through the Water Tribulation or already experienced the Flesh Calamity were able to survive this person's attacks but were severely wounded.
According to reports, the killer's power was at the early stages of the Apotheosis Realm. Still, he was a very proficient assassin, and many of their targets ended with severe and nearly lethal wounds before the actual battle even started.
In just two weeks, three Apotheosis Masters perished, and half a dozen more were severely wounded, generating so much havoc that the Tier 1 Dark Factions began to demand the involvement of Silent World.
While Silent World was an extremely powerful Tier 0 Dark Faction and could kill an Apotheosis Realm master without a problem, the problem lay in the fact that the person was too good at covering his tracks and left no evidence of his whereabouts.
The Tier 0 Dark Faction concluded it was the same person who had previously attacked Dark Hand and might have been involved in the disappearance of Death Tide. Still, that did not help them very much.

The Scarlet King silently walked through the alleys of a small city, heading towards the house of the City Lord, Sarul Olan. The city's ruler was known to be a very amicable and responsible person, but no one knew that he was also the leader of a Tier 1 Dark Faction that went by the name of Parasite.
It took a lot of effort to figure out the identity of Parasite's leader, and right now, the Scarlet King is on his way to ending Sarul's life. The man was a Wind Tribulation Apotheosis Realm Master, so it would not be a problem.
However, his eyes narrowed just as the Scarlet King was about to reach the City Lord's home.

The Scarlet King raised his guard but was not really surprised, as his actions surely drew the attention of Silent World, and they could not allow someone to harm their Tier 1 Dark Factions without repercussions.
'Well, I guess that is it. With all the people I killed and injured, they will need to refill their ranks with weaker warriors.'
Although the Scarlet King could go after other Tier 1 Dark Faction Leaders, those not hiding must surely be guarded by hidden agents from Silent World waiting to ambush him.
Not wasting time, the Scarlet King turned around and calmly exited the city. No one saw him enter, and no one saw him leave either.
