Dior felt absolute terror invade his heart the moment he saw those pipes coming out from Blood Child's right palm. He imagined suffering the same fate as the devils trapped in the wall and being kept alive like blood bags.
He moved away from the child and immediately made his energy explode and mobilized his Soul Origin.
When Blood Child saw the Devil Count's behavior, an incredibly evil, cruel, and chaotic aura was released from his body and covered the entire tower.
"You dare to defy Blood Father's orders!" Blood Child flashed to the Devil Count's chest and slapped him with his left palm.
The Fiend Dragon's body could compare with that of a Rank 5 life form at the 4th Engraving Stage, but that palm strike was not only fast and powerful but also had the great might of the laws fused in it.
Dior's body crashed against the wall. An immense amount of blood energy, along with Law of Blood's runes, invaded his body, numbing his soul and energy.
Blood Child appeared in front of the Devil Count the next instant and sent pipes into his body.
The Devil Count's destiny was gloomy, and there was nothing he could do to free himself from Blood Child's power.
Suddenly, two dark figures entered the tower and flashed to the rune formation on the floor.
Their speed was incredible, even for Rank 5 standards. Dior only saw a black blur, but Blood Child was able to discern their appearances.
They were two crows with six red eyes in their faces, two in their wings, and black obsidian feathers.
Mounted in the back of these creatures were two blue devils with eight wings connected to an eclipse, bones spikes in their elbows and knees, and three eyes.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH IT." Blood Child went ballistic the moment he saw the crows and devils approaching the runic formation.
He immediately forgot about the Devil Count and forcefully shut off the connection with him to chase after the blue devils.
In that exact moment, when his spirit defenses were the weakest, an invisible force struck his soul, and his sight went dark for an instant.
Along with that attack, another crow emerged from the tunnel. This one was even faster than the other two, and the devil riding his back carried a white sword covered with blue and purple fire.
When they were less than two meters away, Zatiel jumped out of the Nether Crow's head, increasing his momentum as he aimed his sword forward.
Blood Child had just regained his vision when the sword collided with his chest, right above the zone where his heart resided.
That attack, carrying such an immense speed and the full power of the Neo-Demon, could have easily pierced the body of a Devil Count at the 3rd Engraving Stage. However, it was only able to penetrate four centimeters into Blood Child's chest.
The wound was still deep since Blood Child's body was small, but there was no pain or sign of damage in him, only wild rage.
Blood Child clenched his fist and threw a punch that could split a meteorite in half.
Right before that tiny fist could land in Zatiel's body and make it explode, in front of him, the Undying Leviathan's armored head materialized.
The fist immediately destroyed the incarnation and even harmed the Void Creature's soul connected to it.
The attack continued until reaching Zatiel's chest. That tiny fist destroyed all of his ribs, smashed his lungs, and injured his hearts.
The Neo-Demon crashed on the other side of the tower, coughing mouthfuls of blood with pieces of his organs in it.
While the clash between Zatiel and Blood Child happened, Dior had managed to free himself. The first thought in his mind was to escape, but he heard a voice in his mind.
'You better stay and fight as if this is the last battle of your life!. If you even think of running away, I will use my ability to hide from Blood Child as I did before and let you here to die alone. We need to distract him until my clones finish altering the runic formation.'
The Fiend Dragonborn was shocked when he heard that. He felt no gratitude to Zatiel for saving his life, and his mind focused on choosing the path with the highest chance of survival.
Dior noticed how the tunnel to the surface had vanished and heard crystal cracking when Zatiel's Rebirth Incarnations broke the invisible force field around the runic formation. Those two factors made his decision clear.
"ROAR!" The Fiend Dragonborn roared as he fused with his Law Avatar, making him grow until he reached forty-five meters tall and silver metallic scales covered his entire body.
The Devil Count's power up did not end there since he also burned his life force and activated a medallion that made a silver aura cover his body.
Dior's battle power now could be compared with someone at Pseudo 5th Engraving Stage. He gathered every ounce of strength he had in his fist as he launched it to the monster in front of him.
Blood Child was about to chase after the Rebirth Incarnations that were at this moment infusing new runes in the formation when he saw the giant draconic fist coming his way.
The only emotion one could detect from Blood Child was fury. His tiny fist clashed with Dior's, creating a shock wave that made the entire tower tremble.
The Fiend Dragonborn felt all the bones in his hand shattering, the muscles on his arm tearing apart, and his blood burning, but he resisted the pain and attacked with his other arm.
"Fucking garbage, stop bothering me!" Blood Child's tiny body appeared to contain an ocean of blood energy, and he made it erupt.
Blood Child responded to the Fiend Dragonborn's fist with his own, but this time, Dior's entire arm exploded after the clash.
He did not end there since he flashed to Dior's chest and attacked with both his arms simultaneously.
The Devil Count felt the threat of death more clear in this instant than ever before in his entire life. He exploded his energy, broke his medallion to generate more silver aura, and gathered everything in his chest.
Blood Child's strike shattered Dior's defenses, made the Devil Count's chest explode, and buried him hundreds of meters into the wall.
The Devil Count's entire body would have burst like a balloon full of blood if it weren't for his final defenses.
Blood Child wanted to kill the Devil Count, but he felt how the duo was already affecting the runic formation's core, and he could not allow that to happen under any circumstance.
He had just started his path down when he noticed the Neo-Demon coming to him, once again mounted in the Nether Crow.
Blood Child saw how Zatiel propelled himself at him with the white sword pointing to his heart.
"Trash, I will end you as well!" He was much faster than the Neo-Demon and was about to blast his head off before this one could land his attack when his entire body froze.
Blood Child knew the reason for his condition immediately. It was the duo's fault, who had managed to affect the core of the runic formation.
'It is just a second. I can resist!'
A second was a lot of time for Rank 5 life forms, but Blood Child's body was incredibly hard.
Zatiel's white sword was just about to enter right where the first attack landed.
That instant, the Neo-Demon burned his life force and made his Elemental Chaos, Soul Origin, Astral Origin, and Rebirth Force explode.
Draining all that power, Zatiel was able to activate the second release of his white sword.
Blood Child was shocked when he felt the sword bury into his body, pierce his heart and then release a torrent of blue fire that contained Baator's Law of Destruction at the Minor Completion level.
A smile appeared on the Neo-Demon's face as he saw blue fire coming out from Blood Child's eyes, mouth, ears, and nose.
However, his happiness ended the next second, when a kick had landed in his waist, shattering it and sending him flying away.
Blood Child's had his heart destroyed, and blue fire filled every corner of his body, but he was still alive and strong enough to blast Zatiel away with a single kick.
