"At least you have a little bit of concise." King Wrath said, feeling a bit thankful for what it just did. It wasn't easy for it to control his body, and it could only do that once in a while, especially at those times when he wasn't fighting against its corruption mentally, physically, and spiritually.

"And you still haven't learned to express gratitude correctly." It said in a lighthearted manner.

The two couldn't indulge in their dog blood but sweet-hearted drama anymore, though as life-threatening danger charged towards them.

Each of those eyes released a laser beam towards King Wrath simultaneously. Now, any average combatant would have indeed failed to avoid all of them, and they would have gotten obliterated after getting hit by one or more than one of the red beams. But King Wrath dodged all of them. His figure distorted and appeared behind one of the many giant eyes. The giant eyes shot multiple red beams towards him, but his figure distorted once again, and the behind him got struck by the many destructive beams. Instantly, it turned to ash.

That was going to be his if he got hit even once!

King Wrath used the same tactics to annihilate some more until the main giant eye realized what it was doing and created several more copies of itself.

"What a royal pain in the arse!"

"You need to take down its original self, and the rest will disappear by themselves."

Killing the original would finish the battle and set him free from this life-threatening situation. The problem was that he didn't know which one was original and which one wasn't.

"I can't determine it!" He said.

"Stop holding back and wipe them all out. We don't have much time left." It said.

"You sure?"

"My heart is strong enough to survive our frontal assault, and even if it gets destroyed, it can only blame itself for targeting us." It said.

The eight giant eyes prepared to attack once again, but this time, King Wrath, who was holding back in fear of destroying its heart, made his move first.

The look on his eyes deepened to the point where his looks could literally kill a normal human being. The air around him trembled and gathered tightly. The gravity in this place increased dozens of times, making it inhabitable for humans. A considerable amount of raw energy blasted out from his body, spreading towards the eight eyes. The destructive energy permeated the surrounding so fast that it reached its targets in the millionth of a second.

The eight eyes instantly got crushed to the point where what remained of them were mere dots.

"Good job." It said.

"Now, let's meet the asshole who planned this play." It added.

King Wrath was already walking towards the coffin. Now that he was looking at it closely, he realized that the coffin had many talismans on top of it. Each of them had a shield, sealing, and fortifying effect. That's why his previous attack didn't destroy it. While thinking that, he also realized that no matter how strong an attack he uses, it would still fail to crush open the coffin.

"Damn the asshole who sealed my heart here." It said, cursing the mother, father, and the entire race of the one who cut his immortal flesh and immoral self into multiple pieces and sealed each one of them into different secret realms.

"Wasn't it the king of time?"

Yes, the ancient demon admiral lived in the same era as the King of Time, which was the saddest part of its life. If only that person hadn't existed, then in those times, it would've conquered the realm of the living!

Damn the King of Time!

"Don't say his damned name in my presence." It said in a voice that sounded extremely threatening.

"Haha, I guess he's your sore point." King Wrath laughed.

"Can you stop pouring salt on my ancient wounds and do something to open the sealed coffin?" It said.

"How much time before the portal closes?" King Wrath asked. Hopefully, he would have enough time to unlock all the locks on the coffin.

"45 seconds!" It answered.

King Wrath stood up.

"What are you planning to do?" It was worried that he would get out without obtaining its heart.

"Unlocking the coffin."

Its worries were useless. King Wrath needed its heart more than it needed it. He was willing to get trapped in this place just to get the heart. The heart was his key to obtaining more power and breaking through the bottleneck haunting him.

"Is it even possible? Don't uselessly trap us here." The ancient demon sighed. It knew full well that they didn't have anything to put out the talisman created by the King of Time. They could only leave, and no matter how painful this choice was, it was still better than getting trapped in this place until their last breath.

"You should revisit your memories sometimes." King Wrath said.

"Hell's paradise: Memoir of the past."

Only 30 seconds were left.

He hurriedly selected a skill scroll that had a pretty dreadful name on it and merged with it.

"Ten thousand pairs of eyes and hands."

Just like the name of the skill belonging to a demon that served as the harbinger of devastation, King Wrath gained numerous hands and eyes.

"Did you know that if you reverse inscribe the inscription patterns of a talisman on top of it, it will cause the talisman to lose its effect?"

Even though it had lived within King Wrath since the day he started breathing, this was its first time hearing it!

"When did you gain this information?"

"After I sealed you behind the demon sealing mask for good because you backstabbed me." King Wrath out emphasis on the last two words.

"Hah, hah, hah." The demon laughed nervously, thinking to itself whether Wrath had detected something off with itself or not.
