Chapter 202 – Iscariot’s Descendants 4 (2/2)
In short, it was possible to kill vampires in a prolonged battle if one avoided fatal confrontation and just elongated the time of the battle.
Of course, he wasn’t even dealing with Nosferatu at the moment.
Ahhhhhh!
When Amon swung his trident, the summoned vampires were slashed into two and lost their shape.
At that time, the black hole in the air disappeared, and a series of system messages appeared before Amon’s eyes.
[God Death, an exclusive Demon skill, has been blocked for 10 minutes by Astaroth’s unique weapon, Regius.]
[Please note that Astaroth can use God Death during the period it is absorbed by his unique weapon.]
‘What is this?!’
A mere 29th Ranked Demon King had put a restriction on Amon…!
It was something that defied common sense.
‘Is it because of this Black Demolition barrier?’
At first, Amon tried to destroy it with God Death, but rather than being destroyed, his magic was absorbed by the black currents that made up the barrier.
The development of events was so weird and defied all common sense that Amon, who had existed for a long time, couldn’t fathom what was going on.
As he was attacked by Astaroth, he immediately thought of Aleister.
‘He’s the only one who can make this.’
He was an alchemist who always hid underneath the safety of Lilith’s skirt and brought on perilous havoc to the world.
It would be difficult to continue calling him a human anymore. He also headed the Witch Religion.
As Amon started to belatedly regret his decision of not taking action against Aleister before,
“You finally got caught,” Woohyuk’s cold voice came from behind him.
As planned, he had entered into Amon’s personal space from the gap created by the Demon Kings.
Amon hurriedly tried to escape with all sorts of magic spells, but it was too late.
Poo-Ook!
Verserios ravenously sucked up demonic energy as it pierced through Amon’s shoulder.
At the same time, Amon was consumed by terrible pain!
He felt his vision lose focus.
“Heuk…!”
Even though he was vigilant, Amon had lost out completely to Woohyuk. This meant that the other person had overwhelming power.
Woohyuk had been hiding his power until now just to take advantage of this moment.
‘It was successful.’
Using the Nocturne of the Hidden Crescent, an S-class artifact, Woohyuk was able to save up to five magic spells that were used against him in the past.
So, he had pre-filled the slots with useful spells before coming here.
One of them was the Deception of the Earth God, Helena’s stealth magic.
In other words, the reason Amon didn’t notice Woohyuk’s movement was because he was using divine magic, something a demon wouldn’t consider another demon using.
Unlike other divine magic, the Deception of the Earth God did not cause much harm to the demons, so Woohyuk could also use the spell.
It was also superior to the Banshee Queen’s Cloak in stealth ability.
“Easily… I will not go down so easily!”
Even though he was pierced by Verserios and having his demonic energy sucked out of him, Amon moved desperately to resist.
Woohyuk, who saw Amon trying to make his last stand, turned to the six Demon Kings who were awaiting his orders.
“You guys also help. This guy can only be sealed with more power.”
“Yes, Asura.”
“Then I will start the torture process.”
Each of the six Demon Kings carried specialized tools for interrogating prisoners in the Demon World.
A pharynx that had been enwrapped in stigmata runes.
A whip of thorns with purple flames.
Crocodile shears used to turn opponents into sexless eunuchs.
A torture wheel to bind prisoners.
Cat’s claws that separated the prisoner’s bones from flesh.
A head squeezing contraption that caused painful headaches just by turning the handle.
Considering their effects, the tools were quite inhumane.
Soon the torture began, and Amon screamed in pain.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
Though he was the 7th Ranked Demon King, there was no way for him to avoid the punishment inflicted on his physical being.
After severe torture, Amon eventually lost consciousness, and a series of system messages appeared in front of Woohyuk’s eyes.
[The Demon King Amon was sealed in Remegeton.]
[All of Amon’s forces are forcibly returned to the Demon Realm.]
The battle, which was threatening to expand on a large scale, safely ended.
Woohyuk lifted the Black Demolition barrier after exhaling a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, it went as planned.”
“What are you going to do now? Knowing that Amon is sealed, the other Demon Kings won’t stand still,”
Dantalion said with an expression of concern.
Currently, many Demon Kings in the western part of the Eeth Continent were forming a united front with Alice the Thorn Queen in the northern Enoa Kingdom.
Of course, the lower ranked Demon Kings were relatively weak, but it would be a different story if they were united and combined their attack power.
If they noticed Woohyuk’s movements and took precautions, his plan to prevent the First Great Disaster (or First Catastrophe) could go wrong.
In addition, there was even the Holy Pope, who could now be called an internal enemy, to contend with, so taking adequate precautions and camouflage was needed.
“I think the credit for defeating Amon should be given to that Paladin,” Woohyuk said as he looked down at Hildegard, who was escorting Mary from off the ground.
A person with a reputation like Hildegard’s would not bring public suspicion even if she claimed that she defeated the 7thRanked Demon King.
At least, he could avoid the intensive surveillance of the Holy Pope by placing the battle’s success onto someone else.
The other Demon Kings may also be confused, but they wouldn’t easily notice that Woohyuk’s party had intervened in this case.
Furthermore, one wouldn’t think a Paladin of the Holy Apheria Empire would lie publicly.
When the rough plan was decided, Woohyuk re-summoned the Demon Kings and went down to Saintess Mary.
Her help was absolutely necessary to prevent any future tragedy.
