Chapter 758 The War
‘This guy is a lot more cautious than I thought… Luckily, this is not my first time entering this place. The rejection was no longer there.’ Vale thought as he controlled his expression.
He didn’t reply to his words but simply try to appear as if he was frowning by what the Deadly Sin said.
“Forget what I said… Come…”
Wrath then led Kyle to an open land.
The land was huge, and its boundaries were marked by towering spires of jagged rock. The Deadly Sin then turned to face Kyle, his eyes burning with the thrill of the impending battle.
“Here, we shall duel. Show me your strength, Demon Saint, and I shall show you the unbridled force of Wrath.”
Kyle gravely nodded, his mind racing.
He had no intention of revealing his true identity, but he needed to maintain his ruse. Because of that, he had no other choice but to only use the Demon Saint Spells that he had extracted.
They weren’t a lot, but he should be able to show enough to satisfy the Deadly Sin. In any case, he doesn’t need to win against this creature since even the Demon Lord would have a hard time dealing with such an opponent. As someone disguised as Demon Saint, he just needed to last long enough to pass as a decent Demon Saint.
Kyle took a deep breath as he recalled his Demonic Arts.
They were Demon Eyes, Soul Extractor, Demonic Transformation, Ethereal Step, Demonic Energy Suction, Demon’s Wrath, Corruption Curse, and Abyssal Fire.
He repeatedly reminded himself that aside from his Corrupted Divinity and these Spells, he shouldn’t use any other spells to maintain his disguise!
“Let’s begin!”
As the duel commenced, Wrath moved with a speed that contradicted his size, his scepter also swept down as he unleashed a barrage of attacks.
It seemed that his attack was simply a use of physical force but it was actually filled with disturbing malevolence!
If he was hit even once, Kyle knew that his internal force would become chaotic and his disguise might come off!
Indeed, each strike from the Deadly was a masterpiece of violence as the air itself seeming to scream in agony as it was cleaved by the Sin’s power!
Boom!
With a burst of Corrupted Divinity from Kyle, the two quickly separated as the ground started cracking due to the sheer strength they both had shown just now.
Kyle steadied his breath, focusing on the Demonic Arts at his command.
Whom~
His eyes, now the Demon Eyes, glowed with a sinister light, sharpening his vision to see through the deceptive speed of Wrath.
As the Deadly Sin advanced, Kyle activated the Ethereal Step, his form flickering like a shadow, evading the crushing blows that sought to unravel his guise.
Yes, although it probably wasn’t Wrath’s intention to remove his disguise, it doesn’t change the fact that Wrath’s power, which was related to chaotic force, could undo his disguise!
He had to be careful if he was ever hit!
“You’re fast! Are you ranked below 50? No, perhaps 40th Rank?” The Deadly Sin commented after seeing Kyle’s Perfect Ethereal Step…
Nonetheless, Wrath was undeterred by his display of movement technique. The Deadly Sin swung his scepter with a force that tore at the very fabric of the Abyss Realm.
It felt as if he was really trying to kill Kyle at this time!
However, Kyle knew that this guy was simply aware that a Demon Saint would only be gravely injured in the Abyss Realm once hit by this attack. It was enough to severely injure him!
“Tsk…”
The space crackled with malevolent energy, as the scepter released another chaotic force of destruction aimed at Kyle’s heart.
However, Kyle was not a Demon Saint, he was the Shadow Immortal. He could not get injured by this attack so he had to he danced around the edges of Wrath’s fury, countering with the Demonic Energy Suction to absorb the residual power from the Sin’s own attacks.
“Hahaha! Impressive, Demon Saint! Show me more!” Wrath said with a laugh.
He wanted to overwhelm Kyle with his power as a Deadly Sin but seeing how Kyle was able to respond to his attacks, he couldn’t help but want to see his limit!
Because of that, Wrath decided not to overpower Kyle and just show enough strength to lengthen their battle!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The battle raged on, a tempest of power and crafty moves.
Kyle, realizing that the Deadly Sin wasn’t planning to end this battle immediately, decided to “exhaust” himself.
He wanted to use “everything that he had” and act weak sooner, so he could just surrender to the Deadly Sin!
‘I can’t continue this anymore… If I make a mistake, my disguise will be blown away.’ Kyle thought.
Ha!
Calling upon the Demon’s Wrath, he unleashed a torrent of demonic energy. It was a power close to Wrath’s own!
Kyle used his fish to meet the Deadly Sin’s Scepter!
Boom!
With his Demon’s Wrath activated to the fullest, the clash that followed was a maelstrom that shook the entire land!
The ground beneath them fractured, lava spewing forth as if the world itself was crying out in pain.
“You! You’re not a normal Demon Saint! A single-digit?!” Wrath was obviously shocked.
However, he immediately erased this idea as he felt that the Demon Saint’s life force had weakened!
“Hahaha! So it was like that! You’re willing to use a Forbidden Technique to equal my power in this duel! I admire your resolve!”
Wrath’s laughter boomed as he witnessed Kyle’s prowess.
“Impressive, Demon Saint! I will not let you down! I will show you my real strength! Let us see how you handle this!”
With a roar, he summoned the Wrath’s Hell Fire, a conflagration of hellish flames that sought to consume all in its path!
Kyle wanted to just drop and act defeated right now, but the Hell Fire doesn’t seem to be a spell that would spare him!
He had no other choice as he responded with the Corruption Curse!
With the activation of the spell, it twisted the very flames meant to destroy him into a vortex of corrupted force that spiraled back toward Wrath!
‘Ahh… I can return an attack with the Corruption Curse?’ Kyle was surprised.
The Sin of Wrath, was also taken aback by the audacity of the move!
He then raised his scepter to dispel the cursed inferno that they had both created.
“Incredible! I know you can show me more… Do not hesitate now, Saint! Show everything you have! This will be the final attack! I know you still have the strength! Show me!” Wrath shouted hinting that this will be their final clash.
“Fine!”
As the two titans of the Abyss stepped back, the power they were emitting collided in an explosive display…
Kyle also knew he had to end this duel before his true identity was discovered, so he was happy to act as if he could only churn out one more attack…
He prepared his final Demonic Art, the Soul Extractor, which was aimed at harming Wrath and possibly permanently damaging his body.
As Kyle cast the Spell to the Deadly Sin, the Soul Extractor seemed to have pulled something out of the enemy… However, it was simply a lump of energy and not any Soul!
“That’s disappointing, Saint… However, that’s also admirable. If you used the attack on anyone other than me, that would work really well.” Wrath said as he waved his hand to return the Spell to Kyle…
With a feigned cry of anguish, Kyle allowed the Soul Extractor to graze him, his form shuddering as if struck by a mortal blow.
He collapsed to the ground, his body still, giving the appearance of a vanquished foe.
Wrath approached, his steps heavy with triumph. “You have fought well, Demon Saint. Rise and serve under my banner, and together, we shall bring the realms to their knees.”
‘Eh? Psychic Arts or something similar? You want to enslave me?’ Kyle was confused as he felt that the Deadly Sin was using some sort of charm when he spoke just now.
Kyle then thought for a moment before defending himself from the charm…
“I apologize… I’m already serving the Demon Lord.” Kyle replied after some thought. Anyway, the power that could stop the Deadly Sin’s mind spell could be blamed on the Demon Lord, so he wasn’t afraid to act unaffected.
Wrath’s expression shifted, a flicker of respect passing through his fiery gaze.
“Very well, I shall not press for your allegiance if it lies with the Demon Lord. Your loyalty is commendable…” He conceded with a nod.
Kyle rose to his feet, maintaining his composure. “Thank you, my lord. I am bound to the Demon Lord’s will, but I am honored by your offer…” He said, his voice carrying the weight of feigned subservience.
Wrath turned away, his silhouette framed by the flickering light of the Abyss.
“Remember, Demon Saint, the Realms are ever-changing. The Demon Lord may command the battlefield now, but the tides of power are fickle…” He warned, his tone ominous.
