Satan's speed and strength after using Soul and Chaos Peak Flames were excessive. All Jack could do was play cat-and-mouse with the devil. He didn't dare to clash with Satan or even go near him. He fought from a distance and used ranged attacks. All he was doing was keeping Satan from staying still, to prevent either his inherent HP recovery or Flame Meditation from taking effect.

However, with this method, he couldn't deal any meaningful damage. Satan's HP slowly recovered again. Jack could only grit his teeth as that happened. He needed to wait until the Soul and Chaos Peak Flames ended before going on the offensive again.

Jack was not having a good time, even when using evasive maneuvers. Satan gained standard ranged attacks when he was in this state. Soul and Chaos Bombs continued to shoot out from his hands. Jack was forced to use the Supreme Dragon form's new skill, Supreme Flight.

This new skill was similar to Jeanny's Dragonflight. It improved Jack's flight speed. If he landed an attack at high speed, the damage he dealt was increased in proportion to his speed.

Jack didn't use this skill for offense. He used it so Satan had a harder time aiming the Soul and Chaos Bombs at him. Even with the speed boost, he was still having trouble. This was due to the Soul and Chaos Bombs causing AOE damage. He needed to be way out of the detonation point to avoid the damage.

Satan could detonate the bombs at will. He caused the bombs to explode in the air near Jack. Sometimes, he even had them detonated in clusters around Jack, cutting his paths. Jack had many narrow escapes, and he was also hit by the blast several times. Peniel was on edge as she used her healing abilities. Jack ended up having to activate Life Elevating Art to survive.

Jack had so much trouble dodging he finally resorted to casting Hundred Mirages to take a breather. Satan was relying on his eyes, so he couldn't tell which was the real Jack. He fired his bombs at all the illusions.

Thankfully, the Soul and Chaos Peak Flames didn't last too long. It was around fifteen minutes. By the time the dual-color flames receded, Jack's divine buffs also nearly ran out of duration. At that time, Satan's HP had recovered to above sixty percent.

Jack threw all his available skills at Satan once the Soul and Chaos Peak Flames ended. He ended his series of assaults using the War God's Beam, just before the War God Manifestation ended. His body burst into a brilliant and blinding light before a powerful golden beam shot out.

Satan sensed this beam was similar to one of those powerful attacks Jack dished out at the beginning of their battle. Although he had his runic suit protecting him, he didn't look down on this attack. The Soul and Chaos Ring of Defense appeared again. Satan used it to block the golden beam.

The beam lasted for some time, but none of its light hit Satan. After it ended, the silver and dark purple ring remained before Satan. Cracks were visible along its surface, but it was still intact. Satan observed the cracks on his defensive ring. He was astonished to see the cracks were more than when the ring was hit by Eoranth's Annihilating Soul Beam.

Jack was speechless seeing the War God Manifestation's finishing move failed to deal any damage to Satan.

"What the… That ring has such a short cooldown? Isn't that a bit too unreasonable?

" He complained.

"The Soul and Chaos Ring of Defense was a special skill. It has a long cooldown, but the cooldown is not triggered as long as the ring is not destroyed,

" Peniel explained.

"Similar to the magic shield, Satan can conjure it anytime he wishes as long as it is still intact. If it is destroyed, he has to wait twelve hours before he can use it again.

"

"… Still unreasonable,

" Jack repeated.

Satan stored his defensive ring. He could sense Jack's aura reduced by a great deal after delivering the War God's Beam.

"Hey, Storm Wind. Can you still fight? You are way weaker now,

" Satan said.

He continued watching for several minutes before losing interest. He put out an arm with a closed fist. When he opened that fist, dark light started to gather. The gathered darkness formed a marble-sized orb. He then let this dark orb drop.

"I choose death over being pitied by my opponent,

" Jack uttered.

"Okay,

" Satan said and rushed forward. His foot went up and down in one swift motion. The gigantic foot stomped where Jack was standing.

Satan expected Jack to dodge the stomp, but he instead felt like he had stepped on an unbreakable stone. He looked down and was surprised to see Jack had a different form now.

Jack had used Devilize. His supreme dragon form had severe demonic features, making him look like a demonic dragon. He blocked Satan's stomp using the War God's Shield.

"Like I said, I won't accept getting pitied by my opponent.

"

Jack used the Sphere of Tiamat. A dark purple sphere encapsulated him. He then shot up at high speed. Satan was still in surprise, so he reacted late. Jack slammed into his head, causing him to reel back.

Instead of being angry by the hit, Satan laughed.

"Harharhar! You are truly full of surprise, Storm Wind. All right then. Bring it on…!!

In Liguritudum, a man with a simple robe appeared out of thin air. This man was high in the sky. Far below him was a vast complex with various majestic buildings. That complex was the World Throne, World Maker's guild headquarters.

The man observed the guild headquarters from above. He watched the guild soldiers and outworlders go about their affairs within the headquarters' walls.

He continued watching for several minutes before losing interest. He put out an arm with a closed fist. When he opened that fist, dark light started to gather. The gathered darkness formed a marble-sized orb. He then let this dark orb drop.

He watched as the small orb fell to the ground far below. As the orb descended, it was clear the landing spot was at the center of World Throne.

The orb was very small. The players inside the headquarters didn't perceive this orb coming down. The orb continued to descend until it touched down. The instant that happened, the entire complex of World Throne was encapsulated by a dark sphere.

The dark sphere lasted a few seconds. It then shrunk rapidly until it disappeared altogether.

The vast complex that was there before was nowhere to be seen. It was just a flat barren land. World Throne had vanished. It was as if it was never there.

The man in the sky stayed there for a few more seconds before he was gone as mysteriously as he appeared.
