Chapter 699 - The Disgusting Insect, The Death of the Old Hag (2/2)

Legra had a lot of magical energy. It meant more magical energy for the [Psycrystal] to absorb. Maybe, Mark would also be able to get Legra's ability. Mark was not sure, though, as Legra's body was thoroughly destroyed by the explosion.

***

The sudden shockwave of energy took the attention of the whole battlefield.

Lord Seis frowned as he felt Legra's energy explode. It seemed that even the Lord of Demons was frustrated upon losing a powerful subordinate. Unfortunately, he could not help the old hag at all. His hands were also full with Diwata Iraya before him.

'Tsk. It seems Legra was not able to handle a Pureblood.'

Lord Seis thought.

However, in his mind, it was a situation that could not be helped at this point. They were caught in a battle before the Witching Hour. Although Legra would still not be able to kill the enemy since they were also Demons, Lord Sies would at least be able to give assistance.

In any case, a loss was a loss.

Legra was weaker, and that was why she died.

'In any case, it was not like her death was useless.'

Lord Seis smiled as he shot several balls of Demonic Energy towards his opponent.

***

Legra died. Was it a good thing, though?

Because of their master's death, the insects and Tiyanaks lost control. In the first place, these creatures were nothing but stringed puppets without their own will. Now that the string was cut, they had gone haywire.

Whether it be Demons or Spirits and Elementals, the insects and Tiyanaks attacked.

The already chaotic battlefield became even more chaotic with the insects and Tiyanaks rampaging.

All of it happened while Legra's vessel slowly disintegrated as the shape-shifting insects began to die one by one.

***

Inside the forest at the east side of the battlefield, Morlkil faced both the Flame Demon and Muggur. As a Mist Demon, Muggur could switch into a mistlike and physical body at will. Because of that, his forte was scouting and assassination.

However, it was just...

Morlkil was the worst enemy for Muggur.

Although Morlkil was something that had a soul, it was still not a living being. It was a moving set of armor. Something that was not alive at all could not be subjected to any kind of assassination techniques.

With his sinisterly-looking dagger, Muggur appeared behind Morlkil and stabbed between the gaps of the armor. The attack connected, but of course, it was not effective. Instead, Muggur was almost slashed in half as Morlkil counterattacked.

The Flame Demon continued to hurl balls of flames towards the Cursed Armor. However, aside from a few scorch marks, Morlkil was still unscathed.

Muggur and the Flame Demon were fighting a battle that they could not win.

Yet, why were they still here? Would it not be better if they just left and slaughter weaker enemies?

The unintelligent Flame Demon aside, Muggur tried to escape. It was better to use his time on other things that waste it here.

However, as it was called a ”Cursed” Armor, it actually released a curse upon Muggur and the Flame Demon.

An illusory chain was tied on the ankle of the two. The other end of the chain was connected to the c.h.e.s.t of Morlkil. The two were tied to the Cursed Armor with these chains. The worst part was that the chains were slowly draining their energy. Furthermore, the further away they were from Morlkil, the greater the amount of energy being drained from them.

As it was a curse, the only way to dispel it was to kill the source. It was what exactly Muggur and the Flame Demon were doing.

Unfortunately, it was a hopeless endeavor.

'DAMN IT! I shouldn't have fallen from this guy's provocation!'

Muggur cursed in his mind. This situation came about after he became offended by Morlkil's provocation.

Nonetheless, there was nothing they could do but try to destroy this Cursed Armor before their energy was drained entirely.

Legra was already dead. He would not want to follow her steps at all.

Turning into mist and appearing above Morlkil, Muggur wanted to knock off the Cursed Armor's helmet with a kick. Maybe if he could see the insides of the armor, he might find anything that could help with the situation.

CLANG!

Muggur succeeded. Morlkil's helmet was flung away by the former's attack.

As he was about to look into the armor, however, Muggur could not help but retreat. The Cursed Armor actually managed to attack back even without its head!

That was when Muggur noticed that the helmet that was flung away actually landed facing its body. It could clearly see what Muggur was trying to do and stopped him.

”Damn it!”

Muggur cursed out loud. But then, hopelessness overwhelmed Muggur. To the side, he saw two figures land on the ground.

”Well, We're here.”

One figure said.

It was actually Mark and Mei that was already finished with their business with Legra.
