Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

"We might have to go up more, or we'll be discovered or get attacked," Erix frowned, the hairs on his body standing as he felt goosebumps, feeling the terrible aura up here.

"Yeah," Rin agreed, feeling similar to Erix.

The duo flew five kilometers up more before continuing to watch through the portal as the strange being fully emerged from that magical puddle circle.

"Lilith's super exotic element is called Meizen, right? It seems we'll see her full power this time," Rin smiled in anticipation.

"Yeah, it's supposedly birthed from Death, Blood, and Shadow," Erix nodded.

The duo focused on the enemy as that large hand that emerged moved.

It was attached to an even larger, weirder arm with tiny flaring-up black shards all over it.

It was as if those shards would slightly tilt up and breathe in all the death power and other energies in the atmosphere into his arms.

*Grraoon*

A chilling and jarring groan blasted from the puddle, spreading in all directions and shaking the forest within several kilometers.

Lilith's expression was plain, and her eyes were glowing.

Her hands were blurring at superspeed, creating a bunch of preparations and formations around her because this foe was not something she could take lightly.

But this was also a perfect opportunity for her.

'It is their journey, so you decided to end mine early, eh?' Lilith couldn't help but feel amused and happy both.

But she also knew that this trial wouldn't be easy, far from it.

Lilith chugged a potion and recovered her Prana before filling up the floating crystals around her again.

The five crystals that floated around her were pulsing with five different auras.

Death element—Primal category.

Shadow element—Advanced category.

Blood element—Advanced category.

Baneblaze element—Advanced category. (Death x Flame)

Meizen element—Super Exotic category. (Blood x Death x Shadow.)

Those five crystals of these respective elements were her 'Machines' that she would use as support to work shaping her attacks, allowing her to combat with versatility.

Her weapon of choice was still the same umbrella, but it was also woven with an eccentric formation she created controlling those crystals.

With her slick and tight, ever-pulsing black dress that boosted her parameters and defenses, Lilith was fully ready.

This was her full-powered form and her unique combat style.

She could also teach this to Rin and Erix, but that would narrow their vision and confine them to a path that she created.

If Lilith had done that, Erix and Rin wouldn't have developed their powers and combat form as they did.

But she planned to teach them her specialty after this since they had developed sufficiently enough to have a broader mind on all things and have elevated consciousness.

They even developed their unique combat styles that have so much potential to explore.

And Lilith had learned much from this, which she was going to utilize in this life-and-death battle she encountered after a long while.

She needed it, and Granny May granted it.

*Graoann!*

The strange being's arms were out as another terrifying and strange groan reverberated and suddenly became 10x worse when its head finally emerged.

Its head was like a long egg with its mouth wide open. It was a humanoid face but with long ears, dark blue skin, two black antennas on its head with red and gold patterns, and sharp, long black teeth.

When its mouth closed, its 15-centimeter-long teeth were still visible because its lips were not different from normal lips.

The giant humanoid standing five meters tall fully emerged and stretched his arms.

All the trees and plantation started decaying and breaking down before the resulting black aura entered his body with those tiny shards flaring up as if breathing and sucking it.

'What kind of abomination is that?' Rin watched, feeling goosebumps despite being fifteen kilometers away and just watching from the portal.

'I can't inspect it,' Erix clicked his tongue.

The duo got visibly worried as they looked at Lilith and the monster that emerged.

And then, they heard it speak.

Despite not understanding the audible words, they understood what it was saying through the intentions behind those words.

"Delicacy, this is a supreme delicacy! hahahahaha!"

Rin and Erix saw that the monster uttered that while looking at Lilith.

'He wants to eat Lilith?'

Suddenly, the creature who was laughing with its head high opened its narrowed eyes, his gaze piercing all the way toward Rin and Erix.

Lilith's eyes flashed. Meizen crystal and Baneblaze crystals burst out with countless tiny tendrils before forming five dreadful giant spears.

They zoomed towards the creature at once, tearing wind and shaking space.

*BOOM!*

Amidst the dark red combusting explosions of those five spears that engulfed the creature in one go.

However, a powerful shockwave spread from the creature, clearing all debris, dust, and explosions in the aftermath.

The ground was destroyed, but the humanoid creature was unscratched, its scaly shards vibrating like jarring bells.

"Why such a hurry? It's not like I can touch anyone in this land except for you."

Lilith crossed her arms and sat on her throne, "Well then, introduce yourself."

"Zoan'e Leiro. A dead warrior from Apenyx Nebon, but now an agent of death and decay."

Leiro grinned widely and bowed, "Pleasure to meet you, though…I would also like to eat you if you don't mind."

"This place has strange powers. I can't touch or affect any other living beings, even those two ants up above… except you," Leiro narrowed his eyes, licking his lips as he looked at Lilith.

'So, it sensed Rin and Erix but didn't sense Lily yet…or he just chose not to mention her?' Lilith thought, trying to gauge Leiro's capabilities.

"Why are you an exception?" Lei asked with a grin and some curiosity in his eyes.

"Who knows?" Lilith shrugged before she spun her umbrella, creating a vortex above it while her crystals burst out with energy threads again and weaved into the vortex.

"Maybe you will find out after I kill you," Lilith coldly smiled, her eyes focused and ruthless.

Meanwhile, she also sent her spiritual thoughts to Rin and Erix.

'Don't attempt to attack this weird thing. I might not be able to protect you if you attack it and lose the Abyss rule protection.'

*Boom!*

The battle started as Lilith unleashed her attacks while Leiro dodged, defended, and ran around, but not counter-attacking. He couldn't just remain standing and waste his powers on just defense since Lilith's attacks were not something he could take without cost.

'Juicy! The strange power is not protecting her, and she also has an abundance of existential power. If I want to roam freely after leaving this, I'll have to kill and eat her.'

Leiro licked his lips and laughed as he swiftly dodged another attack while waving his hand to create a thick net that blocked a barrage of bullets with spiraling strings around them.

Rin and Erix looked at each other, slightly disturbed by Lilith's words.

Those attacks and battles below couldn't destroy his portal thanks to the Abyss protection rule, allowing them to observe and sense everything.

And from Leiro's words, Erix also realized how dangerous their situation was. No, not for all of them, but only for Lilith and those who attack Leiro and lose the protection.

'Damn it!'

'What happened?' Rin was confused by Erix suddenly cursing.
