Chapter 988 (1/2)

The battle continued.

The mages and Gabe gasped at Celestina in disbelief. They swore that they had never imagined this even in their wildest dreams. The powerful Balor Devil was defeated effortlessly as though slaughtering even a pig would be tougher. The clash between Celestina and the Balor Devil lasted for only a few minutes before the Balor Devil eventually fell to her blade. Then, the Balor Devil self-destructed and took away the lives of the devils, burning them into blazing ashes.

Gabe broke out in cold sweat. He had a bad feeling about these people before. He also suspected the possibilities of this situation being conspired by a demon lord. Demons and devils were sworn enemies. It was also possible that his conspiracy was found out by a hidden devil worshiper around him and the devil worshiper had set a trap for him. Besides, he was certain that this young lady wasn’t just an ordinary high-class demon because no matter how powerful high-class demons were, they shouldn’t be able to overwhelm the Balor Devil this way. This was much more than what ordinary high-class demons could do!

Could it be that a certain demon lord is plotting everything?

Gabe’s forehead was filled with beads of cold sweat. If that was the case, he couldn’t possibly win.

If Sir Grazite were to find out, I can’t even imagine the punishment he has for me!

Gabe couldn’t be blamed for having such wild imaginations. Demons were synonymous with conspiracies. As long as there were sightings of a demon on the battlefield, most likely the cause of the battle was started by them. Although this ‘discrimination’ was common, it was the truth that 90 percent of the causes were indeed started by them.

Think! What did I overlook?

Gabe knitted his brows.

Nothing. Everything is going on smoothly. The channel has connected successfully so what is the issue here? Indeed, they managed to defeat a perfect Balor Devil. But I can summon even stronger devils, who are also Sir Grazite’s direct subjects, into battle!

“Come forth, devils! Show your powerful strength and slaughter these people!”

“Grrrr———!”

Gabe growled. In an instant, flames splashed and six devils with heads of lions and bodies of humans stepped out from within. Gabe was certain that they were Grazite’s direct subjects—the lion-headed devils.

Their appearance proves that Sir Grazite cares about me.

Gabe raised his arms high, yelling sinister incantations that shook the room constantly. The flames erupted once again and this time, countless devils of different shapes and sizes overflowed the hall like locusts.

Rhode didn’t seem surprised. He swept a look at the holy sword spirits beside him.

“Karin?”

“The channel has connected; just a little more, Your Majesty. Grazite’s presence is getting closer, but he is also acting cautiously. If we launch our attacks now, he may break free.”
