All kinds of creatures from different races went wild as they couldn't wait to enjoy their meal. They were born with a strong physique, which gave them an advantage over the humans who had lost their god's power.
Therefore, eating day was disastrous to the humans locked in the prison.
The sounds of crying and shouting began to fill the air.
Soon, the whole prison was filled with despair.
"Darren, we can't sit by and watch," Jenifer gasped as shock and horror coursed through her. Just moments ago, a few creatures had pounced on some of the humans and ripped them to shreds. Every fiber of her being wanted to rush forward and save them.
"We will be exposed if we try," the Rule Soul Avatar used his spiritual sense to caution her.
"But I can't just watch them die." The idea of not helping others didn't sit well with Jenifer.
The Rule Soul Avatar, however, remained nonchalant.
"Please reconsider your decision. Would we be alive if it hadn't been for Briggs who gave us his Divine Essence Stone to restore our strength? He is only a boy, but he was willing to sacrifice his life to save us. Why can't we do the same?" Jenifer continued to persuade him. During this time, a few more humans were attacked.
The Rule Soul Avatar remained indifferent.
"Darren! Please save them. I beg you. Please." Tears welled in Jenifer's eyes, and desperation laced her tone as she continued to implore the Rule Soul Avatar.
Finally, something flashed in his grey eyes, and he nodded.
"You don't move. I'll do it." The Rule Soul Avatar's heart skipped a beat when he saw that expression on Jenifer's face. He actually felt like he could not refuse.
"Thank you! I know you are not iron-hearted. Thank you!" Jenifer exclaimed with a broad smile.
"Roar! Roar!"
The creatures were on a feeding frenzy. With no one to challenge them, they had already devoured dozens of people.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows that contained laws appeared from nowhere. Each emitted a golden brilliance in the dimly lit prison.
These densely-packed arrows fell like raindrops, avoiding all the humans but targeting all the creatures.
Blood flowed in rivers as the strong creatures fell like flies.
"If you need food, find something on the ground. If you dare to touch a human, you will die," the Rule Soul Avatar commanded as he leaped into the air. His long, black hair fluttered behind him, lending him a graceful appearance.
The remaining creatures desisted when they heard the divine voice. They didn't dare to make a sound now that someone more powerful was protecting the humans.
"Ah, we are saved. Who is that man?"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for saving our lives!"
All the surviving humans bowed toward the Rule Soul Avatar and expressed their gratitude.
In the Reincarnation Palace
"Your Majesty, there is a problem on the prison's first floor. A man, whose strength hasn't been suppressed, has slaughtered many fiends, Shuras, orcs and so on," a prison guard reported.
"What?"
The Reincarnation Emperor, who was in his official robe, stood suddenly.
"Which one?" his deep voice echoed through the palace as he questioned.
The prison guard projected the Rule Soul Avatar's image in front of the Reincarnation Emperor.
"It's him!" The Reincarnation Emperor frowned. "His Eyes of Law were damaged when he got here. How can he still be powerful? Did you investigate?"
"Your Majesty, that man's eyes are uninjured. They are dead grey, but not damaged."
"What!"
The Reincarnation Emperor was shocked.
"Lead the way. I need to see this myself." The Reincarnation Emperor was so anxious that it frightened the guard.
