1013 Indomitable Part 1 (1/2)

The sorcerer was incredibly angry and sad at having been set up by the demon. The demons that came to slaughter the city were summoned by a magic array that he had personally drawn, yet he had no way of knowing that a summoning array would end up summoning demons in such massive numbers!

Human mages were also capable of summoning demons, but summoning more than one was unheard of. The magic array did not seem to be a high level, and judging from his experience, he would have been able to summon one or two powerful beings at best. He had no idea that Nailisi was able to create portals, as what happened would definitely not have been powered by a mere level seven magic nucleus.

”Don't get angry, Charles. The other side of the summoning array was a city of a devil. What I did would have angered the devil themselves. How can their army be controlled by a mere human? Think about it. If that devil were to get enraged and charge all the way here, I'd be the only one who's able to protect you,” Nailisi said, feeling very pleased with herself.

Charles was speechless. He came to understand why it was said to never trust the words of a demon. So I don't even have the right to get angry now, do I? If he were to lash out at Nailisi and she was irked enough to leave him to his own devices, there was no way he would be able to come out on top if the devil appeared.

A devil capable of carving out their own territory was above level ten in the demon plane. He would have a hard time dealing with a level nine supreme demon, let alone a devil.

”Charles, just do what I told you. We're in this together, and there's no need to hold back. Who else would forgive you other than me?” Nailisi persuaded patiently. She knew that Charles would not heed those words, as she was obviously baiting Charles to completely fall.

”I'd be hunted by Alchemy City...” Charles lost all will to fight Nailisi any further. There was nothing he could do to counter Nailisi's machinations.

”Charles, tell me. Is Alchemy City more terrifying, or am I more terrifying?” Nailisi dragged him to stand behind her, as there were many demons who wanted to attack the sorcerer who only held back because Nailisi exuded the aura of a devil, but it was only a matter of time before a more powerful demon gave in to the urge.

The smell of a sorcerer was over a hundred times more enticing than that of a common human.

”Of course it's...umm, you, O' Great Nailisi. If I may ask, what further need do you have of me?” Charles submitted. The greater the disobedience he showed, the more Nailisi would have enjoyed torturing him.

”That's the spirit, Charles. When you're in no place to resist, you need to learn how to enjoy pain.” Nailisi thought of the pain that she and Saleen shared. Saleen's badge would cast negative statuses on him whenever he trained to amplify his mental powers, and she wanted half of that pain every time it happened. However, her master came to do so far less frequently as of late. He only did so when her mental power reserves were lacking.

Pain was mesmerizing at times.

Nailisi was true to her word for once, but Charles would never believe it. He had no idea what the demon wanted to do to him. However, Nailisi had no more urge to torture him when he submitted. Nailisi did not like bullying the weak. If his level was lower than what it had been, Nailisi would not have even batted an eye at him.

Well, his fault of being a level eight sorcerer, and one thar has a lot of potential of advancing to level nine.

Nailisi's predictions were right. At the edge of the military camp of an incredibly huge city in the demon plane, thousands of demons were attracted to the smell of blood and gore in the magic array and walked towards the portal.

The aura of a devil emanating from the other side of the portal eventually shook the king of the city, who was a very powerful level ten devil.

Nailisi summoned over 20,000 demons to her side, who all burst out at great speed. The smell of blood and gore attracted the demons. Under Nailisi's command, they would have been compelled to devour the humans around even if they were not actually hungry.

It was something that Nailisi cooked up on the spot. It only occurred to her when she was summoning the demons that she should have used her coordinates to attract a devil from the other side.

Nailisi liked being at Saleen's side, but she was the best candidate to lead an army of demons. However, if she were able to beat a devil into submission, that devil would be able to lead the army in her stead, and she would be able to be by her master's side.

A low, booming voice reverberated from the other side of the portal.

”Who is this? Panigryrila? We had a deal of not fighting each other for 500 years! You...You're not that fellow!” The voice turned angry.

”You vile creature. How dare you entice my people!” The voice became even louder as they neared the other side of the portal. Nailisi saw a huge hand extending through the portal, clapping down on several demons who were charging to the other side. A leg followed, crossing over to Myers Mainland.

Incredible speed indeed! Nailisi held her bone shield up in reflex. She was unable to repair the shield in time, and there was still a hole from Van Gogh's Eye of God. The hole was patched up with red crystal rocks, and she was able to see the other side from there.
