Hel and the Sword Saint stepped forward. Being able to recognize the Authority contained in the tentacles was enough to boost their confidence.

The Sword Saint could see four tentacles that contained the Seal Authority while Hel found five tentacles with the Life Authority.

The Sword Saint waved his sword toward all four tentacles.

“!!!” The slime, sensing the impending danger, hastily employed the Seal Authority to erect a defensive barrier, aiming to shield his tentacles from the oncoming assault.

But surprisingly, all the barriers suddenly got hit simultaneously, as though they had been targeted in the first place. The sword strike continued on the tentacles and disintegrated them.

‘My Sword can’t be stopped by mere barriers.’ The Sword Saint smiled inwardly.

Hel wasn’t planning to lose against the Sword Saint. She summoned her Death Avatar. There were multiple tentacles with Dissolve and Devouring Power around her, but since her target was clear, they could harm her Death Avatar in any way since she would destroy her target before the avatar disappeared.

The Death Avatar raised both hands and grabbed two of the tentacles. The two tentacles were emitting Life Force like crazy, countering the Death Energy hidden in the skeletal hands.

“What shouldn’t have lived should remain dead,” Hel muttered after withering the two tentacles. She clapped her hands, forming a gray-colored circle. The circle was oozing out the Death Aura to the point where it was too much and expanded.

The expansion was rapid, as though there were a black wave moving in all directions. The dark circle brushed all the tentacles.

The slime hurriedly used the Dissolve and Devour Authority to stop this attack, but surprisingly, the part of the circle that hit the tentacles with this power was unimaginably weak.𝑜𝑣𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

With the tentacles emitting the two Authorities, the part of the circle vanished without a trace. In exchange, the part of the circle that hit the remaining three tentacles that had Life Authority was exceptionally strong, as though all the energy had been concentrated in all three.

In just an instant, Hel and the Sword Saint managed to stop all the tentacles that had Life and Seal Authorities.

Seeing that the threat had vanished, the Magma Dragon started the fight against the slime. He shot out a black ball from his mouth. This was a magma ball, but he made sure to coat it with black molten rock so that the light from the glowing magma wouldn’t spark anything in the dark world.

A few tentacles hurriedly stood in the black ball’s way, catching it. However, the black ball was so hot that it melted the tentacles.

Still, the slime chipped away at the black ball’s energy with the Dissolve and Devour Authority. The black ball gradually became smaller and smaller, making the slime confused.

He wanted to open the outer shell of this black ball and use the magma to his advantage. Yet the ball only shrank instead of the outer layer disappearing.

It took him a moment before he realized that he had been fooled. The magma ball was actually a hard, molten rock. It still carried the heat from the magma, but there was no magma inside. It had only been heated up in the dragon’s stomach.

This magma ball ended up reaching the slime’s body. The heat from the ball began to evaporate the slime.

The Heavenly Sovereign didn’t want to lose to this dragon. With a single wave of his hand, the Heavenly Sovereign surrounded the slime with multiple trigrams. Each trigram contained an element. However, Feng Hao used Heat instead of Fire and removed the light entirely.

The slime could feel numerous attacks coming from all directions. Before, he could use his Color just to push all these attacks away. But now that Theo had sealed his Color Authority, he had to use the Seal Authority to form a barrier to block a third of the attacks. Then, he used the Devour Authority to absorb another portion while the Dissolve Authority removed the remaining attacks.

But the number of elements was more than he imagined. It seemed that the Heavenly Sovereign was ready to sacrifice a lot of Magic Power in order to deal great damage to his body.

The slime ended up missing twenty percent of the attacks, resulting in them hitting the body. Some attacks splattered the slime around, while others completely reduced the slime to nothing.

‘Kh. How did they do all this?’ The slime was frustrated, never thinking the situation would be this dire in a monochrome world. ‘Death and Sword can find out about my tentacles and specifically target them. Elements and Magma’s attacks start working on me.’

While the slime was confused, Theo finally made his move. He and his clone approached the slime.

Obviously, the slime used the remaining tentacles to stop Theo. Even his body began to form something in order to stop him. After all, Theo was the greatest danger here.

Once he became close enough, the real Theo used his Inverted World to turn his hand into a hand that could touch the Authority in the air. This was how he grabbed and removed one’s power. He lifted up the Dissolve and Devour Authority from the tentacles, turning them normal again. The Dissolve and Devour Authority obviously retaliated and removed Theo’s power, but since they were already outside the tentacles, it didn’t matter anymore.

Since they had become normal tentacles, the tentacles could easily be removed with his illusion. Then Clone Theo approached the slime’s body.

The slime formed a barrier in front of its body and even used the Life Power to form consciousness for the barrier. This way, Theo would feel like he was fighting an existence instead of a mere barrier.

However, a skeletal hand emerged from beneath the barrier and touched it, spreading the Death Power. In an instant, the barrier lost its consciousness. Then, the Sword Saint launched a sword strike from a distance, splitting the barrier into two so that Theo could reach the slime.

“!!!” The slime panicked. He hurriedly used the other two Authorities to stop him, but they were removed again by the real Theo.

This way, the clone could use his attack to remove the slime.

“Begone. Inverted World.”
