Carving a bloody path (IV)

Apex could instantly overpower the soul of an alien entity like the Astral Blood Beast, so there was no way a mere Apotheosis Realm Master could pose even the slightest resistance against him.

Sabina, Zaman, and William could not believe what they had just seen, nor could the Apotheosis Realm Masters and Wave Kings from both sides, who were frozen by the shocking sight.

The Scarlet King was surprised by Ina performing a soul-invasion spell. Yet, the moment she did it, he immediately lowered his spirit defenses, allowing her to reach his soul dimension easily. He remembered what happened to the Astral Blood Beast's soul, and while Apex told him it would only be once, he was not the same naive boy from before.
