Legendary Architect of Apocalypse-Chapter 208: Annihilation

Silence descended upon the chaotic battlefield. A wave of disbelief washed over everyone that saw the flames rising through the sky. Was it truly something that a child could do when his class abilities were sealed?

It was not a strength that the child should have possessed, as it made even the Constellations feel a chill run down their spines.

The roars of the battle, and the screams of the dying, were all momentarily swallowed by the sheer, overwhelming presence of the colossal blade hanging in the sky and the boy beneath it.

The five Destroyer Faction rankers, the very ones who had launched the devastating combined attack, were frozen in the air. The energy they had poured into their attack to obliterate Elias, was completely ineffective. Instead, they were the ones facing that blade.

Elias lifted his head. His eyes were calm like always, but there was a deep shade of azure flashing in his eyes that matches with the giant sword above. There was no anger, no triumph, just an unnerving, cold focus. He met the gaze of the five rankers, one by one.

"You..." one of them stammered, his voice cracking in disbelief. All his bravery was utterly stripped away. "How...?"

Elias offered no answer. He simply raised his right hand, index finger pointing towards the heavens, towards the base of the flame sword.

With an almost imperceptible gesture, a slight downward flick of his finger, the universe seemed to come to a sudden halt.

Then, the sword moved.

It didn't fall like a weapon dropped. Instead, it came down, as if it was being controlled by a divine will. There was no sound of rushing air, only a deep hum that resonated deep within the bones of everyone watching.

The blue streak within the blade intensified, burning brighter than a star, seemingly sucking the very light from the surroundings.

The five Destroyer rankers didn't even have time to scream or attempt to flee. There was no explosion, no blood, just instantaneous, silent obliteration. They were erased by the flames of the mythical beast that now moved according to the will of a human.

"Just what is..." Siera mumbled, watching her entire world being engulfed by the deep blue flames. If she still had her treasures that were robbed, she could have teleported away. But now, she was completely at the mercy of these flames that devoured her completely.

Even the Constellations were struck by a soul stirring fear before the flames of the Ice Phoenix. They watched their bodies being destroyed by the flames. Fortunately, there was no pain. It was instantaneous, happening in the blink of an eye.

At the last moment of their lives, they did feel a little regret. If they hadn't followed these children out of the land of fables. If they had simply stayed back, they wouldn't have died with no chance of rebirth.

Their greed for becoming a Constellation had brought them to death's door, and they couldn't even resist before this almighty strength.

The sword continued its descent, carving a silent path through the air before striking the already ravaged earth. The impact wasn't explosive but implosive.

The ground didn't shatter outwards. It seemed to fold inwards along the line of impact, creating a deep ravine that was hundreds of meters deep, and stretched for thousands of miles.

Within the ravine, there was no snow. Even the rocks had melted, with a small trace of blue flames still flickering in the depths. The residual blue energy caused the surrounding rock and ice to vaporize, sending plumes of steam into the air.

For a long moment after the impact, the only sound was that of melting ice. The colossal sword had dissipated, leaving only the boy hovering above the newly formed canyon, his slightly torn robe fluttering in the air.

The entire surrounding had turned desolate. The camp created by the Destroyer Faction was completely destroyed, with not even a small piece of cloth being left behind. All those who fought for the Destroyer Faction were killed.

In an instant, all the names in the Destroyer Class Ranking turned grey, as they were not only killed but also eliminated from the rest. There was only one name that was still left intact, shining more brightly than ever.

It was the name of Elias Ashborn, who had slipped out of top ten in the Destroyer Faction. But now that everyone in the Destroyer Faction was killed, he was the only person left in the ranking. He automatically rose to the top rank in this test.

Meanwhile, in the Creator Class ranking, something miraculous had happened. A new name had taken the top rank.

Kaelen's name was now at the top rank in the Creator Faction's Ranking Scroll. As per the rules, a student couldn't use his own abilities to kill the enemies, or the score wouldn't be counted. It was a battle of beasts.

Despite that, Kaelen, who had just annihilated most of the Destroyer Faction, had taken the top rank. It was something that even Elias hadn't expected. Somehow, both his personalities were top ranked in their classes now.

'Is it because the flames aren't considered my class abilities, nor are they considered an external treasure? So using them doesn't break the rule?" Elias mumbled, looking at Kaelen's name at the top.

His score was almost five times higher than Olsen's score, who was now ranked second in this test. There was no possibility for Olsen to surpass his rank, since we had already killed everyone in the Destroyer Faction.

The only survivor was Elias, who was his main persona. Even if Olsen had hoped to kill Elias, he couldn't take the first rank since the gap was just too much. It was enough to discourage almost anyone in this test.

Unlike Elias, those from the Creator Class didn't quite pay attention to the rankings yet. They were more immersed in the scene of destruction before them.

When the Sword descended from the sky, it clearly didn't target them. But still, those that were closer to the sword, had died.
