Chapter 255: Domain!_4
In Roxey's eyes, Zakro was already no different from a dead man—even if the latter was completely unaware of it!
Watching Roxey pressing forward step by step, Zakro's breathing became rapid, his chest heaving violently, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
He had played all his cards, yet this was the result!
This was probably the first time in his life he felt the helplessness of being unable to defeat his opponent, alongside the fear of being utterly cornered.
Even when he was a general of the Red Flame Legion, risking his life on the front lines, no one had ever pushed him to this extent...
No matter what, he must get out of here!
Zakro's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes flickering madly, and a thought instantly flashed through his mind—
Luo Yan!
That guy is still in the Lord's Mansion!
If he could capture Luo Yan, he might be able to counter Roxey, even forcing him to abandon the chase!
Not only could he escape with his life, but he could also seize the secret about the Divine held by that kid!
Even at this life-and-death juncture, Zakro still hadn't given up on the dream of Becoming a God, the secret in Luo Yan's hands was like a steel stamp on his Soul!
Even at this point, he didn't have the slightest doubt!
Roxey frowned slightly.
He sensed a whiff of something unpleasant from Zakro, but couldn't quite place what it was.
Just as he momentarily lost focus, Zakro's eyes suddenly hardened, and the Purple Flames around him burst forth, launching a final fierce assault toward Roxey.
At the moment Roxey waved his hand to summon a blood-red shield to block, the Flame Bomb, already at its limits, quickly shattered into a sky full of sparks!
It was just a feint!
Zakro, with a triumphant expression, exerted force with his legs, his body darting sideways like an arrow, trying to escape this deadly Domain, then heading straight for the Lord's Mansion.
However, he did not see that standing in the Blood Temple, Roxey's lips curved into a cold smile.
"Finally figured it out, huh?"
He had long guessed that Zakro wouldn't carry out an honorable duel to the end, after all, that guy never picked up his glove from the start.
However, this was exactly what he hoped for.
Vivian giving the Initial Embrace to Luo Yan was something he had not anticipated, but if that's truly the case, Luo Yan's Soul Level should be much higher than before, even if not reaching Diamond, it could reach Gold or even Platinum standards.
Killing Elder Zakro would be enough to allow him to level up once!
Ascend from silver to Gold!
This is another secret discovered by the Colin family, although it's not necessarily only discovered by the Colin family.
In other words, if the killing is done personally, even without undergoing an Undead Ceremony to fuse the other's soul, one can still absorb a small amount of Extraordinary Power from the opponent!
The greater the power gap between the two sides, the more the weaker party could absorb!
Gold Level power is already sufficient for a Lord active on the borderlands, most Demons in their early twenties are at this level.
As long as one doesn't live too ostentatiously, attracting a real Hero or the Imperial regular army, there's basically no threat to one's safety.
Not having given any status to Tiffany's child has always been a thorn in Roxey's heart, for twenty years he lived every day in self-reproach... now there's finally a chance to give a small compensation to the child he owes the most.
"Let you personally end him." Roxey's lips curved into a gentle smile.
The night wind blew over the burning ruins, and the Blood Temple slowly faded away.
He stepped forward following the direction of Zakro's escape, unhurriedly following along.
Meanwhile, on the other side, seeing Elder Zakro rushing over, everyone in the Lord's Mansion felt like they were facing a formidable enemy...
