Chapter 231: Unexpected fortune! (b) (1/2)
[It's the most extraordinary form of attack useable by the members of the demon race, a field-type hell's paradise. Among the demons who had evolved seven times, some are blessed enough to get an innate racial trait that allows them to conjure such a Hell's paradise. It enables them to target a selected place and alter the natural rules of the targeted area. For example, inside this field, the serpentine devil set physical strength and attacks to the lowest degrees. In this place, the maximum physical strength of an adult human male won't be enough to crush an ant. Similarly, the total physical strength of your avatar had also decreased to a significant degree, causing it to become nearly useless compared to before.]
”What a terrific trump card.” Elliot blurted out
To change the fundamental rules of physics seemed to be something ridiculous, something even he couldn't do with his power of creation, yet the serpentine devil was able to do it, that too by using just its projection.
Elliot realized that he still wasn't at the top of the food chain, that hundreds of thousands of units of the essence of life weren't enough to defeat the masters residing in the universe.
[It's a trump card, indeed.]
[Although only a handful of demons have such luck, it's the main reason why their race reigns supreme in the universe and why many are afraid to challenge their tyranny.]
”Do you know what I should do to get out of this place, alive?” Elliot was standing on guard, ready to face any unexpected danger. His attentive eyes focused on the view around him, and his hands balled into the shape of a fist, showcasing that come what may, he will smash it to a pulp.
[Endure.]
The thing was, although field-type hell's paradise was mighty, it put a significant amount of strain on the body of its user. Not to mention, it was also extremely taxing. The amount of energy required to maintain it was too much even for a low-level demonic general to use it casually, but keeping it came with an even more ridiculous price that was enough to bankrupt energy mines owners! The Serpentine devil wasn't rich, though it did own several planets and many energy mines. However, it will have to use all its wealth to maintain it for an hour. Could it afford it? Definitely! Would it like to afford it, though, was an entirely different question.
As greedy as it was, Elliot believed it wouldn't be willing to use all its wealth to take him down because that would be the same as killing itself.
”At most, ten minutes.”
Yes, Elliot estimated that he just needed to survive for ten minutes.
After that, the serpentine devil would pull back, and the field-type paradise would disappear.
He had been fighting for so long, so what were mere ten minutes?
Nothing!
His cocky attitude offended the creator of this paradise. Immediately, as if the world was trying to show how angry it was, thousands of snakes appeared all around Elliot. If one looks at it from an omnipotent point of view, they would see one golden dot surrounded by tens of thousands of gray dots!
It was one versus an uncountable number of enemies! Yet, Elliot all smiled. His blood pumped up to his brain as a surge of excitement took over his calmness. A wave of roaring laughter escaped his mouth as he glistened in intense and glorious golden light.
”Bring it on!” As he said those words, a ferocious look appeared on his face. His pole grew to an unbelievable size, and he brandished it at the gray snakes that were moving in mid-air as if they were fish in water.
With a single swipe, Elliot killed many, and unprecedented bloodshed took place!
