Chapter 88 Past Events

  Akruul led a group of twenty people rushing through the mountains, his heart filled with many worries. He was originally a high-ranking ability user in the dark world, commanding at least nearly a thousand thugs from the dark world, as well as a small number of ability users, werewolves and magicians. In the dark world, he was known for being powerful and feared by all, earning him the title "Mr. Ruul".

  Unfortunately, since he accepted a mysterious master's duel, his life has been changed.

  He also clearly remembered that on his own turf, the sudden disappearance of his subordinates made him feel a bit uneasy, but he relaxed afterwards because his subordinates reported that tonight many people saw a mysterious black-clad man appearing in their territory, occasionally challenging a few people and beating them into serious injuries, and this person was walking towards their headquarters.

  According to subordinates' reports, this person's methods are at most just being more agile and nimble, without any other means.

  While Rouru was worried about his missing subordinate, he saw someone coming to stir up trouble and of course put the other person as the first target for venting his anger. So Rouru didn't say a word and found the guy who dared to challenge his subordinates, wanting to take out his anger on him, also because he wanted to vent his own anger, so he set his sights on this person.

  Just after Rouru appeared, the man looked at Rouru with great interest and then said something that made everyone laugh. If it were said by the Dark Emperor, no one would dare call him arrogant, but if it were said by a nameless small fry, it would definitely make everyone laugh so hard their teeth fall out. However, at that time, no one knew that he was actually the current Dark Emperor, Dira.

  That man's words were clearly: "Haha, Ru Er, with your high-level heterodox abilities, you have never been defeated. If you surrender to me today, I will ensure that your status is not lost and may even rise to a higher level. Otherwise, I will eliminate all of you, this motley crew." His tone was extremely arrogant.

  Rouru heard this and on the surface, he was frantically shouting, but in his heart, he was secretly calculating. He couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do, but since he knew he had high-level abilities, if they still dared to challenge him, that could only mean two things.

  One, the other party has a stronger ability than oneself, enough to defeat oneself.

  He just pretends to be domineering and wants to become famous.

  Analyzing up to this point, Lu Er was clear that the other party was very likely to be the latter. After all, he had never encountered a high-level ability in the dark world before. So what did this guy's arrogant words represent? A conspiracy?

  However, at that time, Lu Ruo still didn't want to lose face in front of his subordinates, so he agreed on the spot...

  Akurul still feels embarrassed about his defeat in the first war, but he also fears his former opponent because he never thought that as a high-ranking dark ability user, he would lose.

  That day's Akuro can be said to be full of confidence, and also with a bloody meaning to fight against the opponent. In any case, he is a high-level ability user, and in today's world, high-level ability users are few and far between, except for those old guys.

  But heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds, originally confident Rouru felt that this guy had no other special talents except for having good martial arts skills in the secular world when they first clashed.

  Just as Rur's Dark Ray was about to hit the opponent, he was suddenly engulfed and could still clearly feel his own abilities being suppressed in an instant. Following that, Rur's heart was shocked, and then the two of them engaged in a shocking battle of supernatural powers.

  In the end of the battle, with a slight advantage in devouring abilities, he won against Rur who had thought himself invincible. In the end, Rur was suppressed and returned to the Dark Church. Later, when he learned his opponent's name, he suddenly realized that it was actually Dira, the notorious Devourer.

  There are many rumors and hearsays about Dira's past. Some say that before, he was just a small-time hoodlum, the lowest of the low in the dark world. After being stabbed by a big brother with over ten underlings and left to die in an unknown corner, he suddenly gained supernatural powers after a night of agony. The next day, the big brother and his underlings were found hanging on the streets.

  There is no intact place on his body, and it seems that something has corroded all over his body, with holes everywhere, only the head is intact.

  In the following days, almost every street in the dark world had the same corpses placed on them. The difference was that these corpses were all thugs and some unclear identities of big bosses in the dark world. In the end, after several years of investigation by the police, it ended with nothing conclusive. However, if someone knew Dira, they would discover that these corpses had more or less bullied or beaten Dira when they were alive.

  But some people say that Dira was originally a killer in the dark world, and during an assassination, he was counter-killed by his target. The place where he hid happened to be above an anthill of man-eating ants. After his death, he was bitten open by numerous man-eating ants who crawled into his body. It seemed as if something awakened him, and afterwards, he felt the presence of the man-eating ants inside him. At that moment, he felt like he had gained some kind of ability. Finally, when he controlled his own abilities, he discovered that he could devour everything around him, and his powers originated from this.

  Also on the second day, he swallowed all his clients and assassination targets, leaving only their heads intact. In the following days, nearly a hundred headless corpses appeared in the dark world. Following this, the police investigated for many years but yielded no results, which indirectly intimidated the dark world for several years.

  However, people with special abilities all know that these events were caused by a person who devours people with special abilities. Later, it was said that this person's name is Dira, but he disappeared for more than twenty years after the events occurred.

  No matter what, all these events revolve around one theme: that this person named Dira is absolutely a ruthless character. It's just that no one expected him to actually recover Rour in the end, which can't help but be said to be a regret for Rour.

  Searching for Ruhr, waves of annoyance, the other day in the name of the Dark Pope intercepted a young man, but did not expect the opponent to be extremely vigilant, and even his own dark light could shake off, and also made himself unaware of this person's existence. It can be seen that the opponent's physical ability is also an abnormal existence. And now he has been sent out again.

  "That damned Dira, why doesn't he send out the guys around him and let me do it? Hmph, looks like they're not even direct descendants, after all they're only good for being cannon fodder."

  Rour scolded and searched in the mountains, but at the same time, he suddenly heard a gust of wind above his head, followed by Rour dodging an object that fell from above.

  Just as Rour dodged, the object came crashing down.

  "With a loud crash, the mountain and the object came into close contact. Then the object seemed to be moving again, and soon Rourou saw clearly that it was a person, a man, the very man he had been searching for."

  On the other hand, Father Yifeng of the Church of Light, who was sent to search in the mountains, also led a group of twenty people wandering in the mountains. Looking at his elegant appearance, it seemed that he didn't come to search for someone, but rather to appreciate the beauty of the mountains.

  Yi Rong: Originally a secular priest in a wedding church, he possesses high-level abilities, but for some reason, he particularly enjoys presiding over weddings and often resolves conflicts between worldly couples. He appears to be a very good person, unfortunately, he is in a relationship with the current Pope of the Holy See...

  Just as Yifeng was still searching, he suddenly heard the sound of killing coming from the other camp. Seeing this, Yifeng excitedly called up his subordinates and ran towards the direction of the Dark Temple.

  He had just run there, and he was excited. The guy he had been looking for all morning had actually appeared on his own, and was already fighting with the other party. But why wasn't that Akruel guy participating?

  But since the other party didn't make a move, Yirong was happy to be idle, and had someone bring over a chair for himself, comfortably leaning against it in the mountain woods to watch the good show.
