Chapter 266 - The Seven Princes Of Hell (1/2)
”The next demon of the Seven Princes of Hell is - Leviathan, the sin that corresponds to this demon is - Envy. The power of this demon increases the mage's defense by several times, moreover, water magic spells become several times stronger. As far as I know, you've already seen one of the Leviathan Chronicle's spells in action.” Rave said calmly.
”Yes, then the mage was able to defend against an attack by a monster of the third rank. That was incredible. Is that the power of demons?” Asked Evan.
Rave nodded and calmly said, ”That's only a tiny part of all the power. Depending on the mage, his senses and talent can change a lot. The demon itself is also very important. Using spells from the Leviathan Chronicle's, you can't destroy mountains with a single blow, but you can defend against attacks that can turn rocks into dust. Every demon has its own peculiarity.”
Rave then proceeded to the next demon, ”The fourth demon of the Seven Princes of Hell is Belphegor, and the corresponding sin is Sloth. When the mage uses the Belphegor Chronicle's spell, all of his spells become much stronger. This is a single but extremely powerful effect. While using these spells, the mage may feel discouraged, apathetic, and of course, lazy. It's a dangerous power. If the mage can't control it, he can fall asleep right on the battlefield.”
<Hmm, besides the power of the spells themselves, each demon of the Seven Princes of Hell gives a special effect, but there are also significant disadvantages. That's not surprising, though, demons never give something away for anything. Nothing's free in this world.> Evan thought.
”The fifth demon in the Seven Princes of Hell is Beelzebub, and his corresponding sin is Gluttony. In my personal opinion, it is one of the strongest demons in all of Hell. His power is truly incredible but also extraordinarily dangerous. When the mage uses the Beelzebub Chronicle's spell, he gains the power to absorb the attacks and spells of his opponents. Moreover, the mage can use the power of absorbed spells to enhance his own.” Rave said calmly.
”Doesn't that mean total invulnerability?” Evan asked. He was puzzled, the power to absorb attacks seemed absurd to him.
”Of course, but that power has limitations. First of all, how many attacks a mage can absorb depends purely on his strength. Otherwise, his body will be overloaded, and he will be torn apart. Secondly, you need to use the absorbed energy quickly, otherwise, this force will destroy the mage. Even the most skilled users of Beelzebub Chronicles spells cannot hold the accumulated power for long periods.”
”Clearly, if these restrictions were not in place, this power would be unfair.” Said Evan.
”Yes, that's exactly what it is. Before I tell you about the last two demons of the Seven Princes of Hell, I have to warn you about something.” Rave said calmly.
Evan looked at him, puzzled.
”I wouldn't be telling you this if it weren't for those spells you found. As I said earlier, this is a unique situation. Usually, Demonic Tree members learn about the power of the Seven Princes of Hell after they break through the third Barrier in the stage - One-Pointed Star.”
