Chapter 994: When BOSS meets BOSS
“Greetings, Your Highness Erin.”
Rhode heaved a sigh of relief in his mind. With Erin around, he didn’t need to worry about this battle anymore. Players needed a party of between 50 and 100 members in order to defeat this Moon Princess. Compared to Grazite, who only required 25 members, they were on a totally different level.
“As you can see, we’re facing a small issue here. You wouldn’t mind helping us, would you?”
“Devil Monarch?”
Erin c.o.c.ked her head to the side. Then, she spotted Grazite who stood up in the wild dust and debris. Her beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously. It was apparent that as a person of Order, she couldn’t allow Chaos beings to disrupt peace in this world.
“I didn’t expect to see a devil here…”
“Dragon, huh…”
Grazite gnashed his teeth. At this moment, he was in an extremely miserable state. He was already hurt from defending against the attacks by Rhode’s group and in addition to Erin’s overwhelming dragon aura, he wouldn’t have survived if he weren’t a Devil Monarch. But even so, he wasn’t feeling optimistic. His s.h.i.+eld was scarred with damage while the iridescent sheen on the snake-shaped sword was now also very faint. His clothes had become ragged. The dim aura around him displayed his weakness in strength. And now, he could no longer go up against Rhode’s group.
The dragon’s prestige suffusing from Erin was so apparent that even Rhode clearly sensed it. But perhaps due to the difference in level, Erin’s dragon’s prestige was much stronger than his. It wasn’t something as simple as just a ‘presence’, but instead, it was an offensive ‘aura’. Rhode had no doubt that any ordinary person who was within the range of her all-out dragon’s prestige would be instantly frightened to death.
Fortunately, Rhode had restrained his dragon’s prestige earlier to avoid giving the game away. Erin gazed curiously at him, before turning around and looking at Grazite silently. Then, she opened her mouth wide.
The moon princess sucked in a deep breath of air…
At the next moment, a blinding radiance swept across the hall, eradicating every obstacle and debris. Grazite jumped to his feet, attempting to avoid the formidable attack. However, the powerful airstream pushed him back like an invisible palm smacking him, eliminating his faint aura like a gale gusting through the filthy dust. Then, a white light flashed and swept toward Grazite. He couldn’t retaliate anymore. Even though his movements were fast, Erin’s reactions were quicker. Grazite was devoured completely.
“———!”
The exploding sonic barrier shook the entire hall. Dust and gravel scattered from above, while the remains and limbs of the devils turned into nothingness due to the overbearing dragon’s prestige. The entire hall had as though been cleaned entirely. On the other hand, the teleportation ritual was perfectly unscathed which was seemingly tougher than it seemed.
“d.a.m.n the dragons!”
Grazite wasn’t dead yet. Even though he was in dire straits, he managed to survive the catastrophe. Suddenly, the s.p.a.ce around him twisted. It was apparent that he couldn’t care less any longer. If he were in the Bottomless Abyss now, he wouldn’t be this afraid even if he were facing the Dark Dragon. But this was the main plane, the home field for the Creator Dragons. If he didn’t flee now, he might not have the chance anymore. Although ripping through s.p.a.ce was extremely dangerous, as he would get swept by the spatial turbulence, it was still better than staying here. Even though he might die in the spatial turbulence, he would definitely lose his life if he remained here! There was no more time for hesitations. He must give it a shot no matter what!
But it was a pity for him that things didn’t turn out as he wished. At this moment, several ice-cold rays flashed!
Canary raised her hands high, the flames gathering in her hands forming a blazing, spiraling serpent that pounced on Grazite. Mini Bubble Gum chanted under her breath, pus.h.i.+ng her arms forward to cast layers upon layers of crystal-clear light screens to block off the ruptured s.p.a.ce. At the same time, Celestina’s black flames spread on the ground and erupted into a barrier. Grazite cursed, but it was too late…
s.h.i.+ra dashed through the black flames, slas.h.i.+ng the scarlet sword in her hands and clashed on the snake-shaped sword, which Grazite struggled to lift. The snake-shaped sword was deflected away and flung to the side. At the same time, Rhode’s three shadow clones showed up on Grazite’s left and right, launching their attacks at him. In an instant, starry blade rays enveloped the devil completely, turning him into an indistinct presence within. Along the blood-curdling screeches and groans, the utterly destroyed iron s.h.i.+eld in his hand flew out, followed by him. If it weren’t for his natural ability to fly as a devil, perhaps he would have plunged to the ground head first. But even so, he wasn’t looking great. He was covered in blood from his head to toes, while a turbid black aura diffused from his body. It wasn’t the premonition of a powerful spell, but was the sign of weakened Chaos instead.
But this wasn’t the end.
At this moment, Celestina’s chain sword and Angelina’s blood runes launched at him simultaneously. The claw-like end of the steel chains whistled across the air, las.h.i.+ng at Grazite’s back. The black flames erupted, leaving him shrieking in agony. Angelina expanded her wings and soared forward. She bit her finger and sprinkled blood from above, which turned into runes that encircled Grazite. Although she wasn’t strong enough to defeat this Devil Monarch, she could still delay his movements.
And that would be enough.
The dark, blood runes held back his movements for only two seconds, just enough for a s.h.i.+mmering holy blade and scarlet red to fly across the air and slash into his body mercilessly.
“You will pay for your foolish acts!”
Grazite finally gave up resisting. He snarled unwillingly as the remaining spiritual power inside him coalesced like a time bomb. The electric current had finally been activated. Just a trigger would be enough to create a powerful blast to devour everything and teach these brazen enemies a lifelong lesson. But… things weren’t as simple as he imagined.
“Karin!”
Rhode yelled. The young lady who had been missing since the start of the battle casually descending from above. She moved her right hand when suddenly, countless threads emanating white radiance appeared in the empty hall, wrapping Grazite like a spider web catching its prey. All of a sudden, the energy that was about to explode inside Grazite’s body reversed its flow. Then, an enormous black sphere appeared before Grazite’s chest. The Devil Monarch blanched at this sight.
“No, you can’t do…!”
Grazite didn’t complete his sentence because his body was already torn apart completely; sucked into the meat grinder of the black sphere by the reformed energy. The threads surrounding the black sphere flickered, transformed into golden rune lines, and spun quickly.
After a few moments, the runes disappeared. Everything returned to its peace, leaving a pitch-black spiritual crystal hovering before everyone.
