Hero Of Darkness

Chapter 465 - Getting Even

A silence ensued as soon as Vilgax was surrounded by five different legendary rank creatures. All of whom were as strong as itself but previously, couldn't even touch it during the fight. And taking it into account, the former did not hold back and almost beat them to death using its innate skills.

However, now that the formation which had trapped this variant monster inside this region was taken care of… all of the generals who received a thrashing from this legendary rank creature knew that things would be different this time.

SHRILL!!

The temperature of the surrounding 5 kilometers rose to five hundred degree celcius again as Jugram activated his Hell Domain for the second time.

Previously… It didn't hurt the enemy at all. But now, Vilgax quickly activated his ability that allowed him to phase through physical attacks and magical spells.

Shing!

A 1 kilometer wide red archaic magic formation appeared a few hundred meters above Vilgax as Ceril cast his suppression barrier spell he often used to weaken his enemies during a battle.

Blackwall on the other end used Terrain Manipulation skill to create massive walls around this burning battlefield and closed all exit points for the target to escape.

Armin on the other end, used his wood elemental skills and hundreds of massive vines rose from the ground and their pointy ends attacked Vilgax one after another.

Just like before, most of the attacks passed through its body but this time, Ceril noticed a change.

"I see. That's how it was." spoke Ceril.

[What do you mean?] asked Kahn.

Oliver, who was in his Thunderbird form, replied instead.

[It just used a massive amount of world energy in its body. Even we could feel it. I think that ability it uses to escape physical damage is one of its innate skills and requires a lot of reserves of world energy.]

[Yes, master. Looks like I was mistaken. Not only the magic formation sealed it… but also supplied it with an endless amount of world energy that those runes gathered constantly.

Even though there must be measures taken so that this Vilgax couldn't destroy the formation to escape, it also gave it a massive advantage.

No wonder we never managed to weaken it.] replied Ceril after his analysis.

"So now that it's under Jugram's hell domain and your suppression barrier… all of its stats must have been reduced greatly.

And that's why it needs to use a lot of world energy to survive the attacks compared to what it would need usually." said Kahn as he quickly grasped the situation.

[He he! Means it won't be able to pass through our attacks for a long time.] replied Ceril.

And just as Ceril stated, When Armin's massive vines attacked Vilgax… it didn't just stand there but actually tried to run away and evade these thrusting spear-like vines.

Under the combined debuff state, Vilgax had its stats reduced by 85%. Now, even Kahn was able to take down this spirit creature.

The playful act of the generals attacking and toying with the enemy started. It could no longer use its ability without care… rather, only when someone made a lethal strike.

And since it was under the weakened state, it wasn't even half as fast as before.

Just in 10 minutes… it ran out of all the world energy stored in its body.

"Good. It can no longer fight or survive our attacks. How about we repay its kindness?" said Ceril and all the legendary rank subordinates nodded.

First, Blackwall used his skills to surround the exhausted Vilgax with earth elemental walls from all sides so that its tentacles couldn't attack them.

His one kilometer tall figure then grabbed Vilgax by its head…

BANG!!

Blackwall, who was ten times bigger in height, picked up Vilgax and then threw it on the ground.

The surrounding fiery battlefield trembled just from the impact.

He repeated the same action because Vilgax previously used his size against him and made Blackwall fall in the ground too many times.

So now, Blackwall was putting it back into the ground again and again.

[Let me go! I said let me go!] said Vilgax. But none seemed to hear his words.

Blackwall punched its torso and stepped on its tentacles. He squashed some of them under his gigantic feet. Soon, Vilgax was almost close to death.

But rather than killing it… Armin suddenly cast his top-tier heal regeneration skills and recovered its physical state in minutes.

For the next round…. Ceril started using his Scythe of the Reaper and cut off some of its purple tentacles. And caused big lacerations on its exoskeleton body.

The same cycle repeated again until Ceril was finally satisfied.

Then Armin healed it again. Just to stab its entire body with his own version of wooden tentacles-like vines.

Wails and agonizing screams spread in the 5 kilometers wide hell domain as Armin started experimenting with his wooden constructs and tried a different way of torture.

The bloodied and tied-in body of the Vilgax was bleeding heavily from dozens of places and even the exoskeleton skin it had was unable to resist.

And finally Jugram, the most brutal of them all got his chance.

The Diablos general ripped apart, torn off and then squashed Vilgax's upper body parts such as its arms, and then burned its flailing body from place to place with hellfire.

The number of horrifying cries and roars of the Vilgax, who previously soloed all of them together because of the support from the magic formation… was now even worse than a punching bag.

Because of how he humiliated all of them in a battle, everyone was taking their turns again and again as they enjoyed settling their score.

At this point… even Kahn started feeling sorry for Vilgax while witnessing the generals ripping him a new one.

The more he saw it, the harder it became to watch.

And with an aghast expression, Kahn spoke to himself…

"Psychopaths…"

"I have created a bunch of psychopaths!"
