Chapter 1000 â Divine Set Experts
âEmpyreal Wraith?â Aqua Rose couldnât help but stare at the demonic elven man at Seven Melodyâs exclamation. âIs he that Empyreal Wraith?â
Empyreal Wraith, the expert most feared by the various powers out of Demonâs Gateâs Nine Great Experts. He was known for his many acts of carnage.
As the only âredâ apex power in the human raceâs Greater G.o.dâs Domain, Demonâs Gate had no lack of members who frequently committed ma.s.s murder. However, even among these players, Empyreal Wraith was a unique existence. This was because on top of killing his prey, Empyreal Wraith would also devour their souls. He would even devour the souls of hundreds of players daily, behaving no differently from a Mutant.
It was also because of Empyreal Wraithâs habit of devouring player souls that the various apex powers eventually got fed up with his antics and decided to hunt him in full force. In the end, however, the various apex powers not only failed in their endeavor but also suffered significant losses. As the various apex powers didnât wish to worsen their losses, they ultimately chose to let him be.
Nowadays, wherever Empyreal Wraith went would quickly become a h.e.l.l for players. Apart from the members of apex powers and Demonâs Gate, n.o.body was safe from him. In recent years, however, his existence had gradually faded from the publicâs sight. According to rumors, he was busy exploring the Void Seaâs ancient ruins in search of a way to go beyond Tier 6.
Regardless, it didnât bode well for the players present for Empyreal Wraith to show up here.
âYou donât have to be too concerned with Empyreal Wraith,â Forlorn Chime said, her complexion looking much better after drinking a Regeneration Potion. Then, she glanced at Empyreal Wraith and continued quietly, âMany powers have come to raid the Undying Mother this time, some of which are apex and royal powers. Even Empyreal Wraith wouldnât dare to mess around and ruin the plans of all those apex and royal powers.â
âThatâs great. I nearly had a panic attack,â Seven Melody said, patting her chest and breathing a sigh of relief. âEmpyreal Wraith is even more terrifying than the rumors make him out to be. Itâs crazy how he can injure several dozen amorphous hands simultaneously. If he were to use that attack against us, weâd probably be dead in the blink of an eye.â
âTeacher, what if itâs a must-kill target set by Demonâs Gate?â Aqua Rose asked, looking at Forlorn Chime tentatively.
âA must-kill target set by Demonâs Gate?â Forlorn Chime glanced at Aqua Rose before turning to look at s.h.i.+ Feng, who was standing in the distance. âAre you referring to the kill order the Nebula Consortium placed on Zero Wing?â
âMhm.â Aqua Rose nodded.
âDonât even think about it. Just give up,â Forlorn Chime said, shaking her head. âYou younglings might not be aware of this, but Empyreal Wraithâs second ident.i.ty is that of one of the Nebula Consortiumâs Protectors. The Protectors are a group of experts Nebula nurtured internally. Every member of this group is a famous expert in the Greater G.o.dâs Domain, and they exist solely to carry out Nebulaâs dirty work. Back when the various apex powers tried to hunt down Empyreal Wraith, they didnât fail because they couldnât kill him. Itâd be more appropriate to say that they gave up out of fear of the Nebula Consortium. Now that the Nebula Consortium has voiced its intent to persecute Zero Wing, thereâs no way Empyreal Wraith will spare Zero Wing.â
âHeâs one of the Nebula Consortiumâs Protectors?â Aqua Rose was shocked to learn about Empyreal Wraithâs alternate ident.i.ty.
Amidst Aqua Roseâs surprise, Empyreal Wraith finally noticed s.h.i.+ Fengâs presence after sending the surrounding amorphous hands flying. Taking a step forward, Empyreal Wraith disappeared from where he stood. When he reappeared in everyoneâs sight, he was already standing within 300 yards of s.h.i.+ Feng.
âAre you Zero Wingâs Black Flame?â Empyreal Wraith asked, staring at s.h.i.+ Feng as if looking at an ant. âI heard you are pretty strong and that even the Nebula Consortium is unworthy of your attention.â
âYou flatter me,â s.h.i.+ Feng said, smiling calmly as he looked at Empyreal Wraith. âBut you are correct that the Nebula Consortium is unworthy of Zero Wingâs attention.â
Demonâs Gateâs Nine Great Experts had caused Zero Wing much trouble in s.h.i.+ Fengâs previous life. Although Zero Wing fiercely retaliated against Demonâs Gate, causing the apex power to lose millions of Tier 6 members and hundreds of millions below Tier 5, it still lost over a hundred Guild Cities. This was partly due to Demonâs Gateâs Nine Great Experts, which naturally included Empyreal Wraith.
s.h.i.+ Feng had many encounters with Empyreal Wraith in his previous life. However, due to his inadequate equipment standard, he could barely hold his ground against Empyreal Wraith with the help of his two Personal Guards who rivaled Ancient G.o.ds. Now that he had obtained the Flame G.o.d Set, even if he couldnât fully utilize it, he was confident of being on even footing with Empyreal Wraith. After all, the complete Flame G.o.d Set was much stronger than Empyreal Wraithâs Extreme Evil Set. Even if the current Empyreal Wraith was Level 246, which was higher than the Empyreal Wraith of his previous life, s.h.i.+ Feng did not fear the other party.
âIf youâre so eager to die, Iâll grant you your wis.h.!.+â The atmosphere around Empyreal Wraith turned cold at s.h.i.+ Fengâs words. Even players thousands of yards away felt an indescribable chill enveloping their body.
However, just as Empyreal Wraith was about to reach for the scythe on his back, a wild and powerful voice suddenly echoed across the crater, making him freeze in place.
âWraith, I wonât mind playing with you if you insist on starting an internal conflict right now.â
At these words, an eight-meter-tall figure appeared between s.h.i.+ Feng and Empyreal Wraith, like a wall separating the two.
âJuggernaut! Are you going to interfere with the Nebula Consortiumâs affairs?!â Empyreal Wraith barked as he glared at the giant figure warily.
Although Juggernaut was only Level 245, Empyreal Wraith knew that the rumors of Juggernaut being the strongest Berserker G.o.d to have appeared in the Seven Luminaries Alliance since its inception were not without basis. Juggernaut had only become known as such because of his many achievements.
Moreover, Juggernaut had come equipped with the Weeping Earth Set, a Divine Set known for granting its user exceptional Strength. Although the Weeping Earth Set was not one of the Six Great Divine Sets, its compatibility with Juggernautâs Primal Warrior Cla.s.s, a Hidden Cla.s.s, allowed him to exhibit Strength comparable to that of the Six Great Divine Setsâ users.
âI will not get involved with the Nebula Consortiumâs affairs, but I wonât sit by and watch as you cause internal strife here, either,â Juggernaut said, showing no intention of backing away, even at the mention of the Nebula Consortium.
âFine. I will play by your rules this time, but youâd best not obstruct me again once the raid is over,â Empyreal Wraith said and gave s.h.i.+ Feng one last glance before leaving.
When Aqua Rose saw Empyreal Wraith turning away, she finally released her bated breath.
As for Juggernaut, after making sure that Empyreal Wraith had given up on targeting s.h.i.+ Feng immediately, he turned to s.h.i.+ Feng and said, âBoy from Zero Wing, I helped you this time because of Verdant Rainbow, but this will be the only time I help you, so watch yourself.â
After saying so, Juggernaut flew to the Seven Luminaries Allianceâs army, which was confronting the various powers from the Holy Race and the Crystallian race. He showed no interest in getting acquainted with s.h.i.+ Feng.
