“If I can't kill him, then I'll freeze him.” Lyan pointed her hand at the approaching Blood Devil. The surrounding air turned cold.
“Lotus Crystal Freezer!”
KRAAAK!
A gigantic lotus-shaped black crystal suddenly appeared freezing the Blood Devils. The Blood Devils seemed to be trying to break away in confinement, but the stronger he revolted, the black streams of electricity contained within the crystal stung him the stronger
Seeing the Blood Devils continuously trying to break away despite being stung by the powerful electric current, Lyan felt that the creature could sooner or later destroy his Cleansing Crystal Lotus.
“Lotus Crystal Freezer!” Lyan again let out the same stance but the black crystal this time appeared several times in the same place, it made it even harder for the Blood Devils to come out because the Crystals were getting thicker and the electricity flowing within them was becoming stronger.
Feeling that the Blood Devils would not come off again, Lyan turned his gaze to Astaroth. “There's something I want to ask you ..”
Lyan could see a smile blooming from Astaroth's lips. “Do you think you have time to relax and talk to me now?”
Lyan slightly raised her eyebrows, not long after that she heard the caged Blood Demon roar.
“GROOOWL!”
Lyan directed a glance at the Blood Devils who were still roaring, he felt a bad premonition with the Blood Devils roar sounding increasingly louder. The entire body of the creature suddenly gave off a glare light before it shattered to explode.
BOOM UP!
“Suicide?!” Lyan could not help his surprise seeing the Blood Devils about to blow itself up, the force of the explosion was even able to make Lyan's Freezing Crystal Lotus shatter into pieces.
The Blood Demon blood clots that floated in the air immediately fused after the black crystal was successfully destroyed.
The Blood Demon's eyes emitted a light for a moment before he teleported appearing before Lyan.
DUAAR!
Lyan could feel the Blood Devil punch she was holding back this time felt much stronger than before, explaining that the creature had become a Red Moon peak Xora.
‘Sial, how to solve it ...’ Lyan sat inwardly while dodging every attack of the Blood Devils that came in a row.
Lyan was unable to decide on the move he should take because by killing the Blood Devils back, it was feared that the creature would become a higher Xora. But if he didn't kill him, this fight would have gone a long way and would have harmed him. Not to mention having to face Astaroth later, making Lyan a dilemma and could only endure in hopes of finding the weakness of the Blood Devils.

As Venom heads somewhere to do the fight, Youl's mind continues to be haunted by something that makes him feel unsettled. The tiger's unease was noticed by the Dark Side.
‘What's bothering you, Bright Side?’ The Dark Side asked.
Youl chose to be quiet for a while before deciding to pour out his thoughts.
‘Se-actually there are two things that bother my mind.’
‘Tell me what it is.’
‘Ya-ya-the first, you-you are a part of me, ta-but why am I not as strong as you?’
‘I've told you that I am the part of you that will not lose strength even though we have passed countless numbers of reincarnations. Even though you were always born without strength upon reincarnation, your role is special for mastering our bodies, you also live the life of every reincarnation.’
‘Ta-but ... why is the difference to our strength so far adrift? I-I can't even maintain consciousness even if I only borrow one percent of your strength.’
‘Pe-my second question ..., who are we really? You-you must know.’
Youl had long been curious about their identity, seeing that the Dark Side could defeat Lilia with just one percent of her strength making her curiosity even greater, she wanted to know their true selves even more.
‘All I can tell you now is, we are special beings.’
‘Ma-special creatures?’
‘True, even the universe always calls us. Unfortunately, we have always failed to survive and ended up with endless reincarnation. Since in this life we have managed to survive this far, I will try my hardest to help you obtain the memories of our first life. We need the memory of your first life in order to answer the call of the universe and save it.’
The Dark Side's words made Soul's curiosity even greater especially regarding their first memories.
‘A-can't you tell me yourself about the first i-memory of ki-we?’
‘Can't, if I tell you about the memory of the first life, we will fail this life and repeat everything from the beginning. All I can do now is help you regain the memories of the first life.’
‘For now you don't have to think about it, we have to focus on the opponent we are going to face now,’ continued the Dark Side which saw Venom had stopped flying. ‘Let me take over your body now, I'll take care of it.’
‘Ba-baik.’ Youl who was a dozen meters away from Venom immediately gave the Dark Side control of the body since it was basically not him who had any affairs with Venom.
After taking over the body of the Youl, the entire body of the Dark Side began to give off a terrifying black aura.
Venom smiled happily as it was this powerful aura that attracted him to the combat tiger. “Good, you finally showed your ability. I will also show you my strength.” The entire body of the man began to be shrouded in a white aura.

Elsewhere, Hex attacks Lilia blindly when she manages to catch up with him.
Lilia avoided all of her attacks. “Bas stupid, you're angry just because I insulted those scum?”
Hearing that Lilia was still humbling her two teachers made Hex even more furious. “Close your mouth!”
Hex attacked increasingly blindly, Lilia who had originally only avoided decided to retaliate.
BOOM UP!
They were both pushed back a few meters when the blowout between them occurred.
Hex clenched his teeth, a fierce energy wave spread around him before he aimed both of his fists into the air swiftly.
Along with both of his fists flashed, a red ray shot out from the middle of the vortex. He pointed towards Lilia at lightning speed.
“Red Vortex!”
Whereas Lilia immediately created a sizable purple magic circle before her. The magic circle gave off a dazzling light before a purple beam shot out from it.
“Purple Beam!”
DUAAR!
The two colliding attacks made Lilia retreat a few meters in the air, while Hex had to bounce far away by tens of meters while spewing blood from her mouth.
