Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

As Erix and Rin finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table became tense.

"Who and why?" Leishun asked, his face showing doubt and confusion.

"I'm sure you all are aware of Spiritual Arts. They give various benefits according to their type," Erix said while smiling coldly. "Someone here practices a Spiritual Art that's not sitting well with us."

"We fear for our safety and others because it's too cruel and dark," Rin sighed. "Although we don't claim to be so-called heroes, there are some things we will not allow if we see because we have the power to act on our will."

"Is that so?" Urasin let out a slightly loud chuckle. "Can you shed some light on us about that matter?"

*Crackle!*

Rin's figure became blurred while a bright flash appeared in the hall for a moment as Rin's katana swung straight toward Urasin's neck.

*Clank!*

However, her katana's blade stopped before it could proceed to cut off Urasin's neck. It was blocked by the Minotaur's hand as it shone with glowing dark brown patterns, becoming tough enough to block the attack laced with Rin's all-elemental and conceptual power costing her 30% of her total various energies.

The Minotaur blocked the attack, before causing the impact to return to Rin as a loud vibration spread, but Rin brushed off the shock impact by swiftly making another swing.

'Run!' Minotaur roared into Urasin's ears, but Urasin's aura was already turning darker and faint, preparing to escape using his Shadow element.

But how could it be so easy?

Erix instantly solidified the space around Urasin and the Minotaur, causing both of their faces to change.

'This guy…I may have trouble holding him off,' the Minotaur said to Urasin, causing Urasin's pupil to dilate in response.

'Are you serious?! You are a damn Empyrean-order at 188,450 Power Level!'

The Minotaur was about to respond in thought but suddenly felt a chill crawling his back as he noticed Erix's eyes looking at him.

The Minotaur felt something weird, and an emotion he was not expecting to produce in this meeting appeared in him.

Fear of death.

'No way he is capable of killing me.'

Alas, reality was often different than expectation.

Erix and Rin had decided to kill Urasin and Minotaur after finding out about their atrocities.

'Erix, it's ready.'

Erix heard Aria's voice before he suddenly felt a burst of power up in him upon feeling an infusion of soul force and spirit force from Aria in an enchanting manner.

*Crack!*

The Minotaur became red and brown as the space holding him broke. Meanwhile, Rin saw that Erix managed to break the protection of Urasin that the Minotaur provided and acted.

Urasin was trapped as he failed to break away from the space prison that prevented him from moving.

Rin's blade swung again, and her figure sparkled for a mere 0.2 seconds as her Katana finished the swing and cut off Urasin's head.

Meanwhile, the Minotaur escaped for his life as he sensed the situation turning dire.

Just as Urasin's head fell on the ground, the Minotaur was already five kilometers away.

However, right as he exited from the hallway's entrance, a portal abruptly appeared before him, and he entered inside, appearing in the sky two kilometers above, right above the meeting table.

"Die!" the Minotaur roared, bursting out with spiritual force and powerful aura towards Erix, using his domain.

Erix and the Minotaur vanished, causing various guild leaders sitting at the table to have multiple changes in their expressions.

"Now, let's resume the talk," Rin sat on the chair with a smile.

"What about your guy in there?" a blond-haired man with a military cut asked as he pointed at the tiny domain point floated a few meters above Erix's seat.

He was Jake the Stardust Crush, the 14th rank in the world leaderboard and guild leader of Eagleclaw Guild.

"Erix will be fine. That bull can't kill him," Aria said with a soft giggle while covering her mouth with her hand.

Everyone could see that Aria's aura was also obscure for them, but they knew it was she who used some kind of skill to buff Erix.

"So, why did you kill him? What were their atrocities?" Yelwon asked as she crossed her arms under her big bust and leaned back on the chair.

"Using living people and their suffering as a way to cultivate his Spirit force and a type of negative energy," Rin said as she looked at glanced at the dead Urasin to her right. "It turned out that this bastard's title was very fitting."

"Rotten Heart?" Amir muttered before nodding with a wry smile. "If what you said is true, then it is indeed fitting."

"How did he get such a Spiritual Art? We should destroy that source if it's possible," Gabrial asked with a frown while his eyes showed he was thinking something.

"The clan?" James made a guess as he looked at the domain point. "Maybe this Minotaur clan had that?"

"Correct," Kenshin nodded. "The Minotaur clan practices that kind of Spiritual Art. We need to find their location and kill them."

After hearing that, everyone looked at the four people who were internally trembling in fear behind Urasin's dead body but stood motionless with terrified expressions.

They were the Royal-order powerhouses of Urasin's guild that accompanied Urasin and the Minotaur here.

Erix had trapped them in Space Prison, so they couldn't escape.

"How did you find out about them?" asked Jax, the 11th Rank in world leaderboard. He was a bald muscular man wearing a tank top made from a white material. His skin was like light obsidian, shining and tough, and he had two demonic horns on his head.

Jax the Demonic Grace.

He was the only one aside from Rin and Erix with a bloodline, becoming one of the early powerhouses to becoming a demi-human.

Behind him stood a demon with the same type of horns and some similar patterns on the skin as Jax.

"Well, it is easy to find out when someone from his guild tells us about it," Rin said before she narrowed her eyes. "From the information, it seems that this Spiritual Art cannot be given to multiple people due to its nature and restriction."

"Urasin accepted some conditions of that Minotaur Clan, offering humans to their chosen members who also practiced the same spiritual art."

Rin snorted, "We thought it was someone talented that was rising fast, but it turned out to be a scumbag."

Sameira glanced at the four Royal-order powerhouses frozen in space and said, "These people aren't innocent. They don't practice that evil Spiritual Art, but they captured and brought people for Urasin and the Minotaur clan."

The one woman and three men felt despair as they knew they would die after getting exposed.

Amu floated towards Rin and looked at the four guys trapped in space prison before freeing them.

"Let's begin."

In the next minute, the four of them were tortured for several seconds before they spit out everything.

And right after that minute, the domain point also flashed.

*Thud…*

The Minotaur fell on the table, breaking it.

Everyone saw that chunks of his flesh were missing and injured spots burning with dark hazy purple flame burns.

After that, all of them focused on a rather unsettling and cold aura.

"T-this…"

There was not a single person present who didn't feel a cold chill crawl their spine as they saw Erix.

He was in his Undeath Aurelion Crown form along with his Death Heart in active since his Life Heart died in the battle, becoming a skeleton.

His pristine dark gold skeleton body with majestic runic patterns was royally wrapped in a regal robe and black pants. The dark gold Undeath Aurelion crown above his head shone with dark hazy purple wisps shining on its crown spikes, conjuring a dreadful yet regal picture.

"I'm sure you all know the full matter by now, right?"

Erix's voice didn't change as he spoke and sat on his chair, deactivating his Undeath Aurelion Crown form as his previous black combat outfit returned.

Beside him, on the chair of Urasin, Rin chuckled and said, "Nope, they know everything now. We can start the meeting."

"Hey, wait. What about your appearance? Why only bones?" Leishun asked with a dumbfounded expression.

The others also nodded, becoming curious. Even Sameira and Kenshin were not aware. After all, Erix didn't tell others specifically about his powers. It was his first time dying after returning here, hence he turned into his Death Heart mode.

"That's none of your business, is it?" Rin raised her eyebrows and also glanced at others who clearly looked curious.

Sameira, Kenshin, and some others wryly smiled, while some others adopted grumpy expressions.

Aria walked closer to Erix and gently placed her hands on Erix's temples before her body glowed.

She boosted Erix's Life power, while Erix also used his Life power and used some Prana, turning it into Life energy and recovering as he converted back to his Life Heart form.

"That Minotaur guy was fun, I had to go all out," Erix said with a laugh. His eyes glanced at other guild leaders and Empyrean-order powerhouses behind them as he added, "I'm glad you didn't step forward as busybodies"

"Or we would have more corpses here," Erix waved his hand, causing the dead body of the Minotaur to vanish as he put it inside his storage ring.

"Anyway, let's begin the meeting."

Everyone who sat on a chair at the table was smart. They clearly understood the whole scenario at last as they remembered Erix's first words after he came here.

Their eyes showed various expressions and deep thoughts, but they knew Unfettered Guild succeeded in the effect they wanted to achieve.

If they were not scared of Erix and Rin after getting backing of the clans and Empyrean-order powerhouses, then Erix and Rin were also not scared of them having backing of clans and Empyrean-order powerhouses!
