After several grueling hours of intense battle, all of the Demon Kings on Zara's side were left exhausted and depleted.
Their bloodline abilities were drained to the point of being nearly unusable.
The two Demon Kings from Rhea's faction that remained were similarly fatigued, barely standing as they struggled to catch their breath.
The only ones that seemed to be relatively unscathed were the two Demon Kings on Xander's side.
Though they had suffered injuries, it did little to diminish their imposing aura and combat prowess.
Their eyes glinted with a fierce determination to win the ongoing conflict, undeterred by the injuries they had sustained.
Meanwhile, the two Demon Kings on Dante's side were still brimming with energy, unlike their counterparts who were battered and weary from hours of fighting.
As the Demon Beast Kings rose up, preparing for another round of battle, Dante's faction tried to make a run for it.
But their plan was foiled when the Voidwing Harbinger teleported right in front of them, blocking their escape.
Without any other options, Dante's faction was forced to engage in a brutal fight with the powerful Demon Beast.
The clash of swords, the sound of techniques, and the roar of the Demon Beast filled the air, making it clear that this was a fight to the death.
Meanwhile, the Demon Kings on Zara's side decided to target the already tired Bloodfire Leviathan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmidst the chaos, the four remaining Demon Kings, including the two from Rhea's faction and two from Xander's faction, formed an uneasy alliance to deal with the powerful Shadowfang Ravager.
Meanwhile, Zara remained at the edge of the battlefield, observing the fierce battle that raged on.
The fight was brutal and intense, lasting for several hours.
The Olmer Clan suffered heavy casualties, and three Demon Kings lost their lives, one from Zara's, Rhea's, and Xander's faction.
Even the Demon King who had previously protected Zara from Dante's assassination attempt joined the fray against the Demon Beast Kings.
Despite the losses, their efforts were not in vain.
The Demon Beast Kings were slowly losing their strength and stamina, becoming more vulnerable with each passing moment.
As the battle raged on, an unexpected turn of events took place.
Suddenly, two Demon Kings from Rhea's faction appeared out of nowhere, fresh and rejuvenated, as if they had not been a part of the earlier fight.
It turned out that they had taken some elixirs and pellets, which had reinvigorated them and helped them regain their strength.
Their sudden appearance on the battlefield caught everyone off guard and injected a new wave of energy into the fight.
The other Demon Kings looked at them in awe as they realized that Rhea's faction had been planning this move all along.
Zara's face contorted in anger and frustration as she realized she had fallen right into Rhea's trap.
Without wasting a single moment, the Demon Kings from Rhea's faction launched themselves into the fray, determined to subdue the three beasts.
It soon became clear that Sargan's plan all along was to capture the Demon Kings from rival factions while taming the mighty Demon Beast Kings.
With the other factions and beasts worn out from hours of fighting, the time had come to put this plan into action.
In a swift and calculated move, the two Demon Kings from Rhea's faction had managed to capture the Demon Beast Kings within a mere two hours. The exhausted Demon Kings from other factions were quick to surrender, knowing that their defeat was inevitable.
However, amidst the chaos, Zara was nowhere to be found. It had been a whole hour since she had last been seen on the battlefield, and her absence was starting to raise suspicions among the Demon Kings.
It wasn't until Rhea's faction regrouped that the shocking news broke out: Zara had been murdered! Her lifeless body was discovered near the site of the battle, covered in multiple stab wounds.
It was a little shocking that there was no blood in Zara's body as if all of it had been squeezed out of her.
The Demon Kings were in disbelief and confusion. Who could have done this?
However, although shocked, Rhea's entire faction cheered happily.
The greatest contender to Rhea was now dead. Meanwhile, she had captured all her contenders.
With no rivals, Rhea was set on becoming the next clan head of the Olmer Clan.
Her entire faction soon proceeded to move towards the Dark Ice Elemental Spark.
Meanwhile, Sargan walked beside Rhea and couldn't help but think of the events that led to this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn reality, when the Demon Kings were fighting, Sargan had launched a sneak attack at Zara and threw her powerfully in the forest.
He had timed it perfectly and masked the sound of his actions with the sounds of the battle techniques that were occurring on the battlefield.
Once Zara was away from the battlefield, Sargan had a fierce fight with her. And this time, he didn't simply dodge her attacks.
He utilized his true power, including the Evil Abyss Pupils. Seeing those pupils, Zara instantly realized that she was fighting a member of the Bach Clan.
She stimulated her Purple Bloodline and fought fervently, but unfortunately for her, Sargan wasn't a normal demon.
He had been trained by a Devil God and cultivated a genuine Devil God's cultivation technique.
Sargan's physique, spirit, and even his Ardor were extremely special.
It became even truer once he unlocked the sixth level of the Nether Devil God's Mantra after absorbing the souls of all those Demon Beasts.
Sargan now possessed the ability to directly harm the soul and even control the soul of someone who had lost its body.
If Sargan was fighting against Zara and comparing his physique against Zara, there was a chance he would have lost. There was also the fact that the battle would have alerted the Demon Kings nearby.
However, the battle ended rather swiftly as Sargan targeted Zara's soul from the very start.
He harmed her soul and rattled her badly. Once she had lost her consciousness, Sargan began to stab her body while utilizing his fine control over Demonic Ardor to suck in all her blood into his Mystic Spiritual Connection Ring.
Once her body had lost all its body, Zara's soul was detached to it.
Sargan noticed he could exert his control over Zara's soul.
Another sinister scheme appeared in his head so instead of annihilating Zara's soul or absorbing it, Sargan retrieved it into his Mystic Spiritual Connection Ring.
