Novel Full Chapter 416 - Mistake
Just when the three Demon Marquises and five Demon Counts were about to clash with Ezequiel, the eyes of the last one glowed. The next instant, dozens of ten thousand meters tall white pillars made of World Strength fell from the sky.
The white pillars shocked the Demon Lords and disrupted their formation. They knew about Evil's ability to control World Strength and create an incarnation with it but were not aware he could manipulate it to form weapons with such destructive power.
A domain of fear that carried the negative emotions and chaotic will of Abyss enveloped the Demon Lords, slowing down their reaction speed. It was just a fraction of a second more but in a battle between Rank 5 life forms, that could mean life and death.
Ezequiel did not lose that opportunity and flashed to the Abyss Fire-Snake. He sought to finish the job that his previous lightning dive failed to achieve.
The Demon Marquess had just dodged one pillar of World Strength when he saw Ezequiel rushing at him. Luckily for the Abyss Fire-Snake, once again, a stream of darkness saved his life.
The Supreme Neo-Demon's eyes narrowed when he saw his target vanish after the Darkness Killer intervention. Failing the attack left an opening the other Demon Lords would not waste.
A hammer charged with metal force, and several beams of energy landed on the Supreme Neo-Demon's back.
Thanks to Ezequiel's monstrous defenses and Vajra Terminus Body, the Demon Counts' attacks did almost no damage. However, the hammer sent by the Horn Demon managed to pierce his mantle of white lightning and send him flying away.
The Demon Lords immediately attempted to overwhelm Evil with a barrage of spells.
Unfortunately for them, Ezequiel twisted his body midair, crashing in a white pillar before bouncing back, dodging the Demon Lords' spells.
Before the Demon Marquises could regroup and protect the weaker Demon Counts, Ezequiel made the white pillars vanish, only for them to reappear in the sky and once again fall with tremendous force.
The Demon Lords let Ezequiel out of their sight for an instant as they dodged the white pillars, and this one's presence completely vanished.
Many hoped Evil had chosen to run away, but they faced the cruel reality the next second when they heard a cry of pain.
"AHHHH!"
Dirok and the others focused on the origin of the scream and saw how Evil had just split in half the strongest Demon Count.
There was no need for words. Every Demon Lord sent their fastest attack in Evil's direction, creating an explosion that crushed the white pillars around it.
They planned to strike again, but the white pillars vanished only to fall from the sky once again.
Everybody's sight focused on the explosion as they dodged the weapons of World Strength, and they saw how Evil rose from it.
The mantle of white lightning with a dark edge had diminished in quantity, but Evil's wounds were shallow.
Ezequiel's six arms were working with a fantastic speed as they transformed the body and broken soul of the Demon Count he just killed into two electric spears.
The electric spears had impressive magic matrices over their bodies, and Primordial Entropy Lightning and Terminus Force envelop them.
Ezequiel launched them with all his strength to the Horned Demon and Abyss Fire-Snake.
Each electric spear was swift, and to everybody's shock, they seemed able to activate Void Slash and Void Disruption.
Before the Demon Marquises could dodge or place a decent defense, the spears were already in front of them.
The Horned Demon was faster and managed to use his hammer as a shield.
"BOOM!" The Demon Counts heard a thunderous noise and saw how the electric spear shoved the Horned Demon to the ground.
The Abyss Fire-Snake could not dodge or block the electric spear due to its immense body, so he once again depended on the Darkness Killer to save him.
Ezequiel saw how a stream of darkness saved the Abyss Fire-Snake for the third time, and a smile appeared on his face.
Dirok had pushed the Abyss Fire-Snake out of danger when his eyes widened, and utter shock filled his heart. The reason for his reaction was the small metallic dart that had just pierced his thigh.
The dart hid in the electric spear's shadow and attacked from an invisible angle. Its damage was insignificant but paralyzed the Demon Marquess' body and clouded his mind for an instant.
He regained control in a millisecond, but Evil was already in front of him by that time.
Ezequiel used four of his arms to squeeze the Darkness Killer's body, and the other two held his head and began to exert pressure.
The Abyss Fire-Snake and the other Demon Counts attempted to help Dirok, but the white pillars once again fell from the sky, hindering their movements.
Dirok felt his head was about to explode and how spiritual lightning stopped him from destroying his body to save his True Soul.
The threat of death pushed the Darkness Killer to the limit, and he released a demonic roar.
"ROAR!" Darkness overflowed his body, and he fired hundreds of arcs of blade energy in every direction.
Ezequiel felt Dirok's desperate attacks slashing his body, but he kept exerting more and more strength.
The other Demon Lords managed to dodge the white pillar and flew in his direction, but the Supreme Neo-Demon's focus was solely in Dirok's head.
The Darkness Killer's eyeballs left his skull just before Ezequiel's hands crushed his head and the soul dimension inside it.
Right after killing Dirok, a giant tail and spells carrying the Demon Counts' life force collided with Ezequiel.
Panic and a sense of desperation appeared in the remaining Demon Lords. Now that Dirok died, their chances of surviving diminished immensely, so they must take advantage of Evil's wounded state and not let him recover.
Ezequiel felt that those attacks almost broke his back, and his chest was a bloody mess. Although he could not stop his body from flying without control, he still could move his hands.
He transformed the Darkness Killer's broken body into a ball of lightning, and after infusing Origin Power in it, a golden spear appeared in his hands, just before the Demon Lords could launch their next attack.
The Supreme Neo-Demon twisted his body and threw the golden spear forward.
Once it left Ezequiel's hand, the golden spear transformed into a beam of golden light that shot toward the Abyss Fire-Snake, just as new white pillars fell from the sky.
The Abyss Fire-Snake could not believe the dexterity and martial prowess Evil displayed. Even with those injuries, he fired an attack capable of threatening a Peak Rank 5 life form.
Without the Darkness Killer's help, the Abyss Fire-Snake could only twist his body so that the spear would land in his stomach instead of his head, which was the original target.
Lightning overflowed the Demon Marquess' body, paralyzing him just like it did with Dirok.
The Abyss Fire-Snake attempted to suppress the foreign force and regroup with the Demon Counts, but to his shock, a white flash flew in his direction, the second the spear pierced his body.
'Impossible. How did this monster regain control over his body so fast.' The force that struck Evil should have kept his body flying out of control for a few more seconds.
The Demon Marquess obtained an answer the moment he saw behind Evil and noticed the white pillar with a colossal indentation in its center.
Ezequiel not only used the weapons of World Strength to attack the Demon Lords. He also made one pillar appear in his path to stop his body.
The clash wounded him even more but allowed the Supreme Neo-Demon to fly toward the Abyss Fire-Snake before this one could move or fight back.
Six fists covered in white lightning with a black edge pierced the Abyss Fire-Snake's brain, killing him in the spot.
The Demon Counts were horrified by the loss of the Demon Marquess. Before they could flee, Ezequiel raised the giant corpse of the Abyss Fire-Snake and used it as a whip.
Ezequiel managed to crush the body and soul of two Demon Counts and sent the other two flying away.
It was in that instant when he had just finished his attack and was more vulnerable, that his instincts screamed danger.
The Supreme Neo-Demon feel someone appeared behind him and wave a massive hammer at his head.
The one who ambushed him was the Horned Demon, and what shocked Ezequiel was the fact there was Metal Essence in the weapon and Hell Aura!
Bloodlust and cunningness filled the eyes of the Horned Demon as his aura changed, erasing the chaotic will of Abyss and replacing it with the scheming nature of Baator.
'A Devil Marquess!' Hundreds of thoughts appeared in Ezequiel's mind as the weapon approached his head.
He instantly deducted that the Horned Demon that came here following the Venom Queen was a Devil Marquess that infiltrated Abyss.
The Supreme Neo-Demon had not paid too much attention to him since his power was mediocre among the Marquises, but now he understood this cunning devil was hiding his battle strength, waiting for the perfect chance.
'I made a mistake.' The power in the hammer carried every ounce of energy and physical might in the Devil Marquess, and if it landed, it would be more than enough to blast Ezequiel's head open.
Despite everything, there was no fear or sense of hopelessness in Ezequiel's eyes, only determination to push himself forward.
The Supreme Neo-Demon arms began to rise and attempted to cover his head.
When the Devil Marquess saw that, his smile grew wider since there was no way Ezequiel could make it in time.
However, to his shock, the Supreme Neo-Demon's arms move faster and faster.
'Impossible! This reaction speed should only be present in a Rank 6 life form. How can he move this fast with his injuries?'
No matter how much the Devil Marquess wanted things to be different, the arms covered Ezequiel's head right before the hammer landed.
The threat of death helped Ezequiel push himself beyond what should be possible for a Neo-Demon with a First Order Law Bloodline!
