1144 Delusion Part 2 (2/2)

Everything happened too quickly. Everyone behind the Grand Duke gasped after seeing the demon refuse his command in such a horrifying manner.

The shouts felt like they were making a sarcastic jab at him, and he was very irked.

”If you're unwilling to submit, then you shall die. You should serve well as materials for crafting.” The Grand Duke brandished his curved blade.

Nailisi turned and said to the Grand Duke with one of her remaining heads, ”my master shall avenge me. You would no longer have any bloodline to speak of. All that you love shall be destroyed by my master. Your soul shall endure the raging fires of purgatory for eternity!”

Nailisi cast a demon skill that did not require any power for support—a demon curse. It was something that demons were able to use when they were near death.

Nailisi finished casting the curse, and tears formed in the eyes of the two remaining heads. Her body began to crumble. The requirement for using the skill was harsh, as it required said demon to pay with their life. It was the simplest requirement there was.

Grand Duke felt something happening to his body. The feeling was eerie and peculiar, as if some power fell onto him out of nowhere.

Nailisi's words made him shiver. Her adamant refusal caused him extreme distress. However, greed lingered in his mind and the remaining bit of luck he felt made him swing his blade.

He wanted to stop her body from crumbling. Every part of Nailisi's body would be able to serve as material for crafting equipment.

Pfff...

Nailisi's second head was cut off by the Grand Duke's curved blade.

”Stop!”

Saleen's voice was heard from the end of the canyon. He emerged from the teleportation portal and sensed that something was disappearing in the depth of his soul. It was the soul contract with Nailisi.

Nailisi is in trouble? Saleen took the Water Fox and quickly emerged out of the pool. As soon as he emerged out of the water, he saw Nailisi's devil form get one of her heads cut off by the Grand Duke.

”I am not stopping!”

The Grand Duke shouted and slashed again. Nailisi's third head was cut off. Her devil form was barely able to keep her upper body up when it hit the ground. The devil form was no longer able to close the wounds using the power of her muscles.

Red blood sprayed from her wounds, shooting high and causing a rain of blood within her immediate vicinity.

”Myers, help her,” Saleen told the Water Fox. The Thunder Dragon Blaster appeared on his left arm. Four dragon claws clung to her arm and the mouth of the dragon opened. Seven lightning icicles shot out at the very same time.

The Water Fox nodded in acknowledgment. She sensed Saleen's anger and heartache.

It's just a demon. Do you need to feel that much?

The seven lightning icicles flew right before Grand Duke Jatan in an instant. The Grand Duke's mind seemed to be plunged into the abyss. Electrical arcs danced around the icicles and a thunderous rumble was heard. The rumble slowed his skills down, making it difficult for him to cast them.

The Grand Duke shouted and a layer of red armor appeared on his body.

It was a skill possessed only by level ten individuals—True Might Armor!

Six lightning icicles formed a magic array and sent blue electrical arcs flying around the Grand Duke's body. The True Might Armor crumbled between the arcs and the last, huge icicle at the center penetrated the Grand Duke's heart.

The lightning icicle was infused with intense power. It unleashed high temperature with electricity. The True Might Armor was still there when the high temperature vaporized the Grand Duke's body, leaving an empty shell.

The Grand Duke was not supposed to have ended so pathetically. He had many skills and was experienced in combat, but Nailisi gave her life to cast a demon curse before she died, slowing him down.

All of his people were baffled at the death of Grand Duke Jatan.

”Retreat!” the level ten mage shouted. While the Grand Duke was dead, there was still the Grants. They would only need to elect a new Grand Duke. The enemy was ferocious, and it was unwise for them to stay behind and fight.

Cloudflow people usually looked elegant, but were cowards as soon as their defeat was confirmed.

”Leaving eh?” Saleen's expression was ferocious. He had no idea if the Water Fox's nature divine spells would be able to revive Nailisi, but the sorcerer who shouted retreat was holding Nailisi's shield. He shall die!

Saleen's body was wrapped in thick water element armor and the power of the earth propelled him forward. Saleen's body seemed to burn. The outer layer of the water element armor was unable to withstand the friction brought by moving at over 3,000 miles per hour.

The fire element in the air was ignited.

Saleen appeared in front of the level ten sorcerer almost instantly and pointed a finger at the sorcerer's head.
