Chapter 112 - The Trial 4 (1/2)
While Woo-hyuk was struggling, Aris came to his aid with a pitch-black scythe.
“Don’t you dare try to harm Lord Asura!”
She had arrived late because she couldn't handle Woohyuk's speed.
“I guess that woman with red hair is Demon King Aris?”
“You deal with her as planned, Dantalion. I'll be watching from the side and help the one who is struggling.”
As Volak stepped back, Dantalion opened a pitch-black spellbook with a tense look.
As he recited the spell, dozens of clones appeared around him and simultaneously shot dark spheres at Aris.
Slash!
Slash!
Aris skillfully twisted her body to avoid them and cut down Dantalion's clones one by one.
However, even if the clones were destroyed, the battle would not end because new clones would be produced.
Instead, as time passed, the number gradually increased, and the situation became disadvantageous to Aris.
“Stop with these little tricks! I know you're just trying to buy time!”
“Sigh… Did you think I would be willing to fight you head-on?”
Dozens of Dantalions laughed in sync.
His specialty was illusion magic.
He could transfer the real body into one of the clones, and could also change his appearance to transform into someone else.
“I see that you’re underestimating me.”
Aris’ eyes flashed and she swung her pitch black scythe.
Then, black waves of energy flew out as they cut through the air with a sonic boom.
Swooosh!
The Dantalions that got attacked spat black blood as their bodies got sliced in half.
However, there were still many copies left. The attacks had only slowed down the clone rate, but hadn’t stopped it completely.
When Aris tries to perform the same attack again,
Rumble! Boom! Boooom! Boooooooooom!
Dark clouds gathered, and purple lightning struck her several times in a row.
“Urgh…!”
Aris, who instinctively spread a protective barrier, groaned.
It was difficult to prevent Volak’s chain attacks because of her lack of strength from her fierce battle against Dantalion.
“Actually, I wasn’t underestimating you. I was just using my brain. I’m a tactician.”
“You just outnumber me 2 to 1. Stop barking so much.”
“I am quite shameless. I know my position. 72nd Demon King. I can get challenged by high-class demons at any moment.”
Therefore, Dantalion had joined the Ars Nova circle.
He gave advice and suggestions to Amii and Volak, who only believed in their powers and fought without planning out strategies, and received their protection.
However, if he were to win this battle, he could end that way of life.
Unlike the barren demonic world, the Eeth continent was overflowing with resources and quests, which he could use to establish a solid foundation for growth.
“Your dreams are too big compared to your balls. Your bravery can’t hold a candle against Lord Asura.”
“And that man is going to die tonight. I will send you to his side as well!”
Rumble! Boom! Boooom! Boooooooooom!
Along with dazzling flashes, purple thunderbolts descended from the dark clouds and struck her again.
“Urgh!!”
As Aris struggled and couldn't move, the Dantalions cheerfully burst into laughter.
”Ha ha ha ha ha! How is it? How does it feel to die in the hands of an enemy weaker than yourself?”
“You, you really are the worst…”
“Now, try to struggle as painfully as possible! I will watch you till your last breath!”
After finishing his speech, the Dantalions turned into Woohyuk in sync.
It was a ruse.
He was trying to mentally torment Aris, who was yearning for Woohyuk.
Boooom! Boom! Boooom! Booom!
Dark spheres flew in from everywhere and collided against Aris' protective barrier.
Aris' face darkened as the barrier shook and cracks began to form.
'Lord Asura, I'm sorry. I can’t…’
Since she wasn't fully recovered yet, Aris couldn't last long against the two demon kings.
As she recalled her happy days with Asura,
Whooooosh!
A black silhouette flew in from somewhere and killed Dantalion's clones.
Slice!
Slice!
Slice!
Slice!
The speed of its movements couldn’t be followed with the naked eye.
Dantalion stiffened as his face darkened at the sight.
“Wha, what is…”
A sudden feeling ran down his spine.
His body trembled in fear, an emotion he hadn’t felt in a long time.
His instincts screamed at him, telling him to escape.
“Thank goodness, I arrived in time.”
As silence ensued, Loengreen appeared and broke the quiet atmosphere.
After stopping the Witch Cult in Erutonia, he had gone straight to the Lydia Kingdom to rescue the Borges family that was being held hostage.
It was to get rid of the variables that could arise in advance. After completing his mission, he had returned
“Lo... Loen Green… .”
“So you’ve come, you filthy gay bastard.”
Dantalion and Volak’s momentum had been blocked by him.
Loengreen is a demon who had fought equally against Orobas, the 55th ranked demon king.
Although he was considerably weakened by the battle from that time, he still instilled fear in the two demon kings.
“It's been a while, Lord Dantalion. How have you been managing your territory?”
“There, there’s not much to manage in the first place…”
The size and location of the territory divided between the demon kings varied according to their ranks.
In the case of Dantalion, the 72nd demon king, the land he owned was a simple barony on the outer area.
Therefore, he had a greater longing for vast territory compared to other demon kings, and actively tried to conquer the Eeth continent.
“But what are you doing here? The kingdom that Lord Dantalion occupies should be beyond that mountain range.”
Loengreen asked even though he knew the answer already.
Volak, who had been supporting Dantalion from a distance, frowned.
“Don't pretend to be confident, Loengreen! We all know that you can’t fight against mere executives of the Witch Cult properly!”
“That was true. But then, I wasn’t fighting at my fullest.”
“Wha, what?!”
