201 Chapter 200: Kazguul, The Second Demon Lord of Azrael.
Mykel sent a message to everyone as soon as Rozan flew to catch up on Shelly and told them to go back to the ship. It took them half an hour to go around the island because they were on the south side of the island.
The moment they entered the portal, the water current was so strong that they immediately got sucked into a massive whirlpool. They didn’t even have the chance to look at what the twentieth floor look like, but thankfully Mykel was there to calm the sea.
“Is that even real? The tower is right on top of the sea with nothing else around it?” Vincze asked as he looked at the tower that was standing tall with ravaging waves that hit the walls of the tower. It would be impossible for anyone to get into the tower if they couldn’t use magic to calm the sea or to protect themselves from the waves.
“That’s so cheap, to think a tower in the middle of the sea and how untouchable it is,” Agnez looked at the tower, she then looked at dozens of massive whirlpools in front of her and the heavy thunderstorm in the sky.
“Where’s Rozan and Shelly? Do you see them, Gerrard?” Jeanne looked up at the mast.
“No, I can’t see anything but whirlpools and thunders,” Gerrard answered as he covered his eyes from the heavy rain and strong wind. “Wait! I see something up ahead!” Gerrard pointed at the sea and saw the water slowly bulging.
They all looked at the sea and noticed the bulging went bigger and wider, then it bursted like an eruption. They saw two people that looked like a dot from the distance, they were Shelly and Rozan, but then something else appeared, a giant hand that was five times bigger than the ship with pale green skin and long claws trying to reach them.
Shelly raised her right hand and turned the rain into ice bolts while Rozan pushed them all down with wind magic. They showered the hand with the ice bolts and slowly pushed the hand away from them but suddenly another hand appeared from the side and slammed both of them back into the sea.
“Are we seriously going to fight Kazguul here? How are we going to do that?!” Sven asked as he looked at the massive wave after the hand slammed the water.
The water suddenly pushed the ship further away and hit the invisible wall, Gunnar, Vincze, and Sven went into the cabin to fix the holes. The sea was splitting and it was Shelly who did that, she didn’t want Kazguul to be surrounded by water.
Agnez looked at Jeanne and immediately grabbed her right arm. “Hang on tight,” Agnez said as she activated [Demonic Manifestation] and turned into Mazikeen. “This is our chance,”
Agnez flew away while she carried Jeanne.
They saw Shelly and Rozan floating above the ground, they finally saw what Kazguul’s looked like. A slender demon that was a hundred meters tall with a face like an angler fish. He had massive hands and tentacles as his legs to help him stand and swim in the sea.
Shelly froze the water that she split to make two giant walls of ice to protect themselves from the water that tried to come in. Because she didn’t have the power to freeze the whole area, she let some of the water come and then froze them to make a giant square wall of ice.
Agnez flew toward Rozan and Shelly, and it shocked Shelly when she saw Agnez in Mazikeen’s demon form. Rozan explained it to Shelly and convinced her that Agnez was harmless toward them.
Jeanne landed on the muddy ground and her legs stuck inside up to her knees, but she immediately freed herself. The four of them looked at Kazguul and thought about how to deal with him because his body looked so sturdy and squishy at the same time.
“I’m not going to break my sword again this time, so you should test it first, Jeanne,” Agnez said as she looked down at Jeanne.
“Fine by me,” Jeanne replied as she unsheathed her sword and then activated [Harmony].
Jeanne ran so fast that her feet barely touched the ground and then she swung her sword upward when she was right below Kazguul. Shelly was dumbfounded when Jeanne suddenly teleported all the way where Kazguul stood.
The projectile attack cut open his crotch but it regenerated immediately, they could see Kazguul didn’t really have bones inside his body only soft bones. With that information alone, Agnez flew toward him and sliced the tentacles below his body.
Shelly used the opportunity to bind Kazguul when he collapsed into the mud, but he could easily free himself. He raised his left hand to pull the water toward him, the ice wall couldn’t hold the water and started splashing down.
No matter how capable Shelly to control nature, she couldn’t win against the power of a demon lord.
“Rozan, you handle the water and make sure not a single drip of water touches him,” Shelly said as froze the water.
“Got it,” Rozan replied as he flew above the ice wall and looked at the surrounding area then froze the water that tried to come into the pit.
In the end, the ice wall turned into a dome of ice and protected everything inside from water. Although the water had been separated from Kazguul, there was always a source of water from beneath the mud and it made him keep regaining his power.
“So, we are just going to wait here on the ship doing nothing?” Gunnar asked as he looked at the giant dome of ice in the distance that looked like a mountain.
After Gunnar said that, a giant fin appeared and it was moving toward the ship from the right side of the ship. A body with shiny scales went to the surface from the left side of the ship, and more of them suddenly went to the surface.
“You really have to say it, huh?” Lillith asked with a cynical look.
“You guys go deal with it, I’m going to go and check on the situation over there,” Mykel said and then flew away abandoning them on the ship.
Mykel landed on top of the ice dome, but he couldn’t see what was beneath the ice because of how thick the ice was. He put his hand on the ice and almost turned the whole sea into ice, and then he broke the top of the ice dome to get inside.
Shelly looked up and saw Mykel staring at them from above and she noticed the sea had turned into solid ice. She didn’t have to worry about anything else anymore and she could go all out to kill Kazguul with the three of them.
The only way to kill Kazguul was to exhaust his power by preventing him from absorbing water and regenerating wounds. The bigger the wound, the more power he needed and it was exactly what the four of them were doing.
Jeanne climbed up and jumped from one tentacle to another to reach Kazguul’s waist and started slicing the tentacles from his body. Shelly and Rozan were dealing with Kazguul’s giant hands while Agnez flew toward his head with her sword ready in both hands.
“Fucking die already!” Agnez gritted her teeth as she swung her sword and cut half of Kazguul’s neck.
Before Kazguul could regenerate, Jeanne jumped all the way up and cut the other half of Kazguul’s head.
Agnez grabbed Jeanne’s arm. “We are not done yet! Let’s go and mince that fish,” Agnez threw Jeanne toward the head to cut his head, she then followed Jeanne from behind.
They both swung their swords so quickly and minced Kazguul’s face into pieces. Rozan and Shelly burned the flesh into crisp and then turned it into ashes. Before Jeanne landed on the ground, Kazguul’s head had gone into particles.
Agnez carried Jeanne as she landed on the ground, and then a notification appeared in front of them.
