Archie unleashed his big claws and attempted to swipe the Rule Soul Avatar with them.
However, even with his tremendous fiend power, he wasn't able to break into the Rule Soul Avatar's body. Instead, he felt his claws only hit an infinite space made of soft fabric.
"What the hell?!"
Archie roared in anger as he recognized that his strike didn't land on the body of the Rule Soul Avatar. Thus, he rushed forth and viciously threw hundreds of attacks again. However, the result was still the same. His attacks seemed like they were disappearing before they could even make contact on their target.
Meanwhile, the Rule Soul Avatar was so relieved that the time trap worked. With this, it caused Archie's attacks to be sent in another place and time.
However, using such a powerful skill also required a tremendous amount of energy. Moreover, he had used the Order Penetrating, making him exhaust almost all of his Spirit Power.
"Merle, kill him!"
At this moment, the Rule Soul Avatar sensed that Merle had already come back to life. In this crucial situation, he needed Merle to help him finish Archie off.
As soon as he heard the Rule Soul Avatar's voice, Merle took action. His fiend body turned into a beam of light, sneakily attacking Archie from behind.
Swoosh!
Merle knew that this could be their chance to defeat Archie, so he gathered and released all of his fiend power in one go.
At the same time, Archie quickly sensed that something dangerous was rapidly approaching him from behind, thus he immediately turned around and swiped his big claws.
"Ha! You big idiot! Do you think I'll fall for that again?"
Earlier, Merle had been careless to be brought down by Archie, but this time, he had already learned his lesson. Therefore, he was prepared for the moment that Archie would launch his counterattack. Merle timed it perfectly and changed the direction of his attack. With this, he was able to land a clear hit on Archie's head using his palm.
Boom!
With the massive impact, Archie's head exploded into pieces and his huge body fell into the sewage.
At the sight of Archie's brutal death, the other fiends were dumbfounded and crippled in fear. He was supposed to be the king in the prison, but he was instantly killed by a single blow. They became scared for their lives and didn't know what to do.
"Now we're even." Merle raised his head and shot a glance at the Rule Soul Avatar.
On the other hand, the Rule Soul Avatar just averted his gaze, acted indifferently, and didn't utter a word.
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, the entire prison shook violently. It turned out that it wasn't only happening there, but also in this whole city.
Then, several extremely huge auras covered the skies above the city, and numerous pairs of dark gray eyes appeared among the thick clouds.
At the same time, the Rule Soul Avatar could feel that several huge streams of pressure were pouring towards him.
A frown emerged from his face as he hurriedly withdrew the Time Law.
He briefly remembered that the last time he obtained the Time Law, the chief gods had been attracted to it and tried to pry on it. This time, it seemed like powerful creatures had also perceived it when he exhibited the Time Law earlier.
For a while, the violent trembling continued. However, it seemed that whoever was searching for the Time Law didn't gain any useful information, so they retreated about fifteen minutes later, and all the shaking also stopped.
After this, Merle approached Archie's dead body. He actually wanted to merge with it right away, but since he could not activate his Merging Force at short intervals, he still needed to rest and wait for at least a few days to try and do it.
Merle let out a sigh, knowing that he had no choice but to wait it out. After all, if he hadn't merged with the previous fiend, he wouldn't be able to kill Archie even if he had cooperated with the Rule Soul Avatar.
"Let's take care of other things first. Come at me! I'll kill you all!"
Merle quickly turned around and released his enormous fiend power. He unleashed a massive attack, killing all of the fiends that were still present in the prison.
In an instant, the prison was filled with the blood and dead bodies of the fiends. The scene looked gruesome as if it was a glimpse of hell.
"Damn it!"
Soon after, a group of fiend soldiers arrived and rushed into the prison.
"What is this mess?! Did you slaughter all of them? Bastards! What are you waiting for? Kill them!" the leader of the fiend soldiers shouted angrily upon seeing the current state of the prison.
These fiends were actually imprisoned here to serve as workers for a mine. However, not a single one of them remained. Now, the fiend warden, who was in charge of the prison, had to take responsibility for this.
