Chapter 276 The Big Red Pointy Thing
"Let go of my spear right now, you DEMON." Delia uttered out through her gritted teeth as she glared at the humanoid angrily. "You would not want to see me making any more moves. You said that you will give me some lessons about Demon Combat? Hah, suck those lessons with that stupid mouth of yours!"
Delia suddenly squatted on the ground, putting her whole weight on the spear"s whole body. The spear shaft then started to tremble as the opposing forces let out by Delia and the humanoid started to clash with each other.
As Delia felt the resistance on her spear starting to increase, she let out a shout as she pulled her whole arms down!
"Earth Spear: Crus.h.i.+ng Landslide!"
"Boom!" The humanoid, which was nonchalantly holding the spear earlier, suddenly widened his eyes as his whole body was sent cras.h.i.+ng down to the ground.
It was as if Delia"s latest attack was just too heavy for the red humanoid, and that he had no choice but to yield on its power.
At the moment that the red humanoid was down on the ground, Delia raised her spear high in the air, which was now free from the humanoid"s grasp.
She then pulled her whole spear back, with its spear head pointing directly at the back of the red humanoid"s head.
Before the red humanoid could make any recovery, Delia did not waste her time as she sent her spear piercing towards her current target!
"Fire Spear: Point Eruption!"
The whole spear let out a single high-pitched sound as it headed towards the red humanoid, who was still frozen on the ground.
To anyone looking, it seems like Delia was about to win already. But before Delia"s spear could hit her target, a sound of disappointment came out of the red humanoid.
"Sigh…"
"Splink!" The red humanoid casually swatted the spear with his left hand, making it veer off course.
"Boom!" The spear was redirected to the sands, resulting in a momentous explosion that was strong enough to create a ma.s.sive crater.
"…" The red humanoid ignored this as he suddenly stood up, brus.h.i.+ng the red sand along his clothes.
His face looked extremely calm right now, although some hints of a derisive smile could be seen on his face.
"Even without your supernatural powers, you were able to use some kind of martial arts that emulated the powerful forces in nature! You call them your spear arts, right? They really are impressive! Even though they were only spear attacks, your talent and dedication managed to make those spear arts of yours extremely unfathomable and dangerous. I bet that those spear arts of yours are stronger if your powers are not nullified." The red humanoid managed to say these words in a short amount of time, as if he was not that worried about the fight that he is having right now.
"…" Delia did not wait for what the red humanoid will say next as she prepared herself to make her next attack.
Time is not with Delia right now, so she must finish this fight as quickly as possible!
"If it were the normal case, your spear arts should have been enough to kill me, someone whose powers were sealed by that ooze that you used earlier." The red humanoid said as he just stared nonchalantly at Delia"s spear. "But… it"s too bad for you. Your ooze was only a minor inconvenience to me. If I wanted to, I can easily beat you right now."
"Wind Spear: Rending Cyclone!" Delia sent her spear forward once more, this time with the spear"s whole body twisting from its central axis.
There was no doubt that Delia"s current attack had a high penetration power, and with the way that her attack looked right now, Delia seemed to have placed all of her power on this strike.
"…" The bored expression on the humanoid"s face did not disappear even in front of Delia"s newest attack.
He did not even try to dodge, as he only opened his mouth filled with sharp teeth.
"Awaken, my Demonic Tower!"
At the instant that the red humanoid said these words, his whole body let out a burst of power, which transformed into a red tower that pierced through the sky.
"PIyang!" The extremely domineering attack of Delia was dispersed by this red tower, as if nothing can penetrate through this tower.
"Ah!" Delia on the other hand, was thrown back by the red tower, as the sheer pressure that came out of the red tower had managed to push Delia by some distance away.
"That is…" As Delia held her thwarted spear, she could not help but stare at the red tower with horror as she realized what the red tower truly was. "Th-th-that is a Demonic Tower! Ho-how could you have one like that!"
"Huh? Do you even bother to ask me that question now? Are you dumb or something?" The red humanoid replied from inside the tower. His whole face was twisted beyond recognition right now, making the humanoid look like a creature of nightmares. "You, you are the envoy of the Holy Order Plane. Since you are in cahoots with them, you should be already sure on what I really am. You still ask me those rhetorical questions? Little girl, get a grip now you little s**t!"
"!(*^%(@(" Delia"s thoughts started to turn chaotic as she hurriedly retreated away from the red tower.
"Everyone, retreat!" Delia shouted as she knew that her allies won"t be able to do anything now that this red tower was here. "We are so f**ked if we stay near that Demonic Tower!"
"!!!" Aside from the angel, who looked at the tower with an enraged expression, everyone else who heard Delia"s command all followed what she said.
"…" As she heard the footsteps of her allies being directed away from the tower, Delia let out a sigh as she stopped retreating.
There was a resigned expression on her face as she realized that she and her allies were bound to suffer some heavy casualties today.
"There"s no doubt about it. This humanoid that we are fighting right now was just no normal demon." Delia thought to herself as she bit her lips. "Since this demon can summon a Demonic Tower, that just means that we are fighting against one of the 72 Demonic Leaders of the Goetic Order! This... this is the worst case scenario for us!"
With her affiliation with the Holy Order Plane, Delia pretty much had knowledge about the two main enemies of the Holy Order Plane.
These two enemies were the Abyss Plane which was also called as the Devil Plane, and the Goetic Order Plane, which was also referred to as the Demon Plane.
These two planes were the bitter enemies of the Holy Order Plane, and if it were not for the ma.s.sive resources and foundation of the Holy Order Plane, it"s two opponent planes could have overrun it already by now.
The residents of the Abyss Plane(Devil Plane) all practice the path of Sins, which was a direct contradiction to the power that the residents of the Holy Order Plane use.
This contradiction led to a unique way of fighting between the two planes, which will depend on the amount of Sins or Virtues each side practices.
As for the residents of the Goetic Order Plane(Demon Plane), their power system was some kind of cultivation system that relies on the manipulation of the so-called "Demonic Energy".
It was the absorption and processing of this Demonic Energy that allows every Demon to get stronger and stronger every day.
Demonic cultivation was arduous on its own, but there is a reward waiting for those who manages to reach the peak of Demonic Cultivation.
Once a demon reaches the peak of his/her Demonic Cultivation, this demon will be granted the authority to control a Demonic Tower.
Demonic Towers, in the simplest terms, can be considered to be the greatest superweapons of the Goetic Order Plane.
n.o.body exactly knew where these Towers came from. The only thing that was known was that these Demonic Towers appeared when the Demon Plane was established.
Right now, there are 72 Demonic Towers in existence, with each tower possessing powerful abilities that makes them formidable against opponents.
With only 72 Demonic Towers out there, only 72 Demons who had reached the peak of Demonic Cultivation can control these towers.
These 72 Demons who controls the Demonic Towers are considered to be the strongest Demons in the Demon Plane.
These 72 Demons, with the power that they have, were rightfully called the 72 Demonic Leaders of the Demon Plane.
Each one of the Demonic Leaders were beings that no ordinary person should offend, and if it was possible, any fight against them must be avoided, unless a 16-winged Adjudicator was present.
Delia was perfectly clear about this warning, but how in the h.e.l.l could she have foreseen that the Demon that they are fighting right now was actually a Demonic Leader!
Heck, he even showed his Demonic Tower, which just confirmed his status!
"F**k! Even if this Demon"s power was nullified, he was still able to summon his Demonic Tower! And whether I like it or not, the presence of that tower was enough to turn this fight against us!" Delia thought to herself angrily as she gritted her teeth.
"My black ooze, which should have been able to nullify anything supernatural, was unable to do anything against the Demonic Tower! That is already a bad news! And to make things worse, this Demon is not yet using the innate ability of his Demonic Tower! S**t! Will this be the end for all of us?"
