"Stop!" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Seeing that Emrys was about to land a powerful blow on the already cracked coffin, Malachi shouted loudly. His voice produced a powerful soundwave that reverberated through the air.

Emrys felt his ears were going to burst.

Pain!

So much pain!

He instinctively dropped the blade and clutched his ears with both hands. The blade fell on the coffin but, fortunately, did not slip into the Blood Pond. Otherwise, retrieving it from there in the presence of so many Silver Soul Masters would have been a serious problem for Emrys.

When he touched his ears, he felt something warm and wet. A few seconds later, he looked at his hands and saw them covered in blood.

"Damn! He is more powerful than I thought him to be!"

Emrys cursed inwardly as he looked at Malachi. Although Malachi was only an Advanced Silver Soul Master, his personal strength seemed to have surpassed his cultivation level. Moreover, he appeared to be cultivating some sort of sound-attributed technique. In other words, his Soul Mark must be of this attribute as well.

Sound can pose a serious threat if utilized effectively. It can bypass physical defenses and directly target the opponent's mind and senses, causing disorientation, confusion, or even incapacitation. A skilled practitioner of sound techniques could manipulate vibrations to disrupt concentration, create illusions, or deliver powerful sonic attacks that are difficult to block or counter.

Recalling the information about the sound he was taught in the Midnight City School, Emrys's expression became serious. He has to be very careful in the presence of Malachi.

However, before that...

Emrys bent over and picked up the blade. Then he raised the blade to attack the coffin again, intending to use his full strength and break the already cracked coffin in one go.

"Stop your action immediately, brat!"

Malachi shouted again, but this time he didn't use any skill. Instead, he took out a small, sphere-shaped device with a circular black eye on its surface. Pointing the eye at Emrys, he said, "From this point onward, your every action will be recorded. You have no idea what you are doing. If you break open the coffin, you will be releasing a demon from her prison. She will bring great disaster to the kingdom. If you truly release the demon, I will spread the video to every corner of the Great Flame Kingdom. You will become a common enemy to the entire kingdom, the one who released a demon and the one who must be eliminated at all costs. Think for yourself before doing anything rash. Don't act on impulse; it'll only harm you."

Malachi sounded very determined and threatening, his voice carrying a tone of warning and authority. He wanted to make sure Emrys understood the gravity of the situation and the potential consequences of his actions.

Emrys frowned deeply. Malachi was clearly a villain but he sounded very righteous at this moment, as if he was thinking for the wellbeing of the entire Great Flame Kingdom.

However, Emrys quickly understood the reason behind Malachi's sudden change in demeanor. It was because Malachi was recording him. In the recording, Malachi's voice would be captured as well. If he said anything inappropriate or incriminating, the video might affect him as well.

In the end, Malachi's intention was clear: he wanted to threaten Emrys and, if necessary, release the video to spread it everywhere, making Emrys the common enemy of the entire kingdom. Therefore, Malachi had to be cautious about his words to ensure nothing inappropriate was recorded.

"Emrys, help me. If you don't release me, they will definitely control me and make me their puppet. At that time, the threat I will possess to the public will be a lot more than now."

Serafina, suppressing her demonic aura and killing intent, tried to sound reasonable and make Emrys release her at all costs.

Emrys was not a fool. From the beginning, he understood that Serafina wanted to use him to gain her freedom. Even now, although Serafina tried hard to hide her sinister heart, he could still sense them.

Both the Darkborne Family members and Serafina were thinking only of their own interests.

However, Emrys still decided to help Serafina. The main reason was that she was his friend. Additionally, he knew what Serafina said was true: if she is controlled by the Darkborne Family, their plans would advance significantly in a very short period. She might truly pose a greater threat to the public under their control than she would if freed.

He looked at Serafina, took a deep breath, and said, "After getting out of here, try to find a way to lose your demonic nature. In fact, I might have a way to help you with that. Just find and come to me after escaping from this place."

"Also, if you choose not to do that, at least avoid harming innocents. I'm not a saint, so I won't tell you to suppress yourself completely and live like a model citizen but do not actively kill and slaughter the public. Do not bring chaos to the Great Flame Kingdom."

Serafina looked into Emrys's silver eyes. She could tell that he had already seen through the hatred in her heart. She also understood that Emrys could sense her sinister aura as well.

As for what Emrys said about having a way to help her lose her demonic nature, she finds it impossible to believe. Throughout history, it has been proved that once a person becomes a Soul Demon, they will never be able to walk the path meant for Soul Masters to walk. It is impossible.

So, she did not mind Emrys's words at all. Currently, all she wanted was to be freed from this binding. As for what she would do afterward...

Heh, it was impossible for her to forgive those people. She would definitely go on a killing spree and destroy the Darkborne Family and everyone related to them, including the Gracia Family and the Royal Family.

On the other hand, Emrys's thought process was simple. He wanted to help his friend in every way possible.

Since Soul Points can wipe the demonic nature from a weapon, they might be able to remove the demonic nature from a Soul Demon as well, reverting them back to a Soul Master.
