Chapter 114 - Demon King Gremory I
Calmness.
I tried to bring my mind to an exceptionally peaceful place and calm my emotions as I looked at the transformed Demon King in the skies.
Hellish red flames erupted beautifully from his hands and rose into the skies, putting a different contrast on the lands that were filled with white snow. The temperature was visibly rising in the surroundings as the wide pillars of flames in his hands continued to dance in the air.
My body was surrounded by a layer of skills, with [Bear Emperor's Hide] fully covering and spreading throughout the [Corrupted Sword Saint's Incarnation], giving me an appearance of a ferocious beast. The swirling storm of destructive cold elements around me from the activated [Absolute Zero] went to further cement this look of a beast that came from the depths of frozen lands.
It didn't matter what the demon thought my identity was as long as I took him down. The one thing I was extremely looking forward to was the possibilities of amazing skills from such a strong figure.
I looked at the Demon King and the beasts he commanded as I realized I would be fighting against three LEGENDARY ranked opponents. If I still had only EPIC skills, the results of this battle would be disastrous to think about.
I was now just waiting to once more initiate the spectacular skill I received as one of the prizes for clearing the Trial of Supremacy for the Spiritual Land as I moved across the skies.
[Sigil of Hegemony] :: A highly protective sigil establishes itself as far as 30 meters around you, empowering you and your allies while hindering your foes for 30 seconds. Another 30 seconds are required before it can be activated again. Absorbs half of all damage dealt while active. +200% Casting and Attack Speed. +200% damage to enemies in sigil. +200% Speed. -50% Enemy Elemental Resistances. -50% Enemy Speed.
The skill had the craziest buff and debuffs I had ever come across, but also had something I haven't had with many of the skills I used so far, a cooldown.
The Demon King, followed by his two [Blue Manticores] floated dangerously in the air as the hellish flames that were shooting to the skies aimed themselves towards me. I could feel my heart already pumping excitedly as [Teleport] was cast, and I appeared behind the transformed demon.
My long sword was already stretched outright as I cast [Sigil of Hegemony].
WAAAAH!
A beautiful sound as if something was long released from its confines erupted out as a blue circle began to spread with me in the center. Runic formations I could in no way understand were layered on top of this expanding circle, going to cover more than 10 meters around me quickly, and still expanding.
The moment [Sigil of Hegemony] was cast, I felt the strength and speed of my body become multiple times greater, accelerating the speed of my cold sword even faster to the three targets in front of me.
I could see the arrogant face of the Demon King undergo a change as a thin protective covering erupted in front of him.
BOOM!

[Demon King Gremory]
What?!
The Sword Beast in front of me continued to bring more and more surprises as it teleported behind me and used the same spectacular skill. A sigil of unknown origins spread out, the moment it passed through me I felt my defenses and speed weakening significantly.
I had battled for hundreds of years, and never thought I would be faced with something new after all this time. My bloodthirst began rising as the beast that I thought would die easily could actually put up a fight.
BOOM!
The beast's cold sword met the protective layer of [Blood Barrier] and actually broke through it, my two primal spirits using their stingers to stop it from piercing into my body. As I felt the chill of the blade near me, I found myself smiling towards this beast.
"You actually have the strength to back you up, good!"
Now, let's see how you fare against my attacks. Even though my defenses and speed were reduced, it didn't mean I couldn't dish out my killer attacks.
[Rending Flames] was cast as claws of dense flames went to strike on the body of the white-furred beast. I looked forward to the scalding reaction but...I watched as more than half of the skill's power disappeared the moment it neared the body of the beast, the other half quickly dissipated from the thick fur surrounding it.
Haha, now what sort of skill is this hmm?
I was a collector of many things unique and weird, and this beast with his constantly changing skills would be a great addition to that collection. Now, let's see how many more attacks you can withstand!

An intense fight was occurring in the skies above the two fighting forces as a Demon King with two Primal Spirits battled a powerful beast swinging a deadly sword. Bone spears with deathly cold energy could be seen exploding in the skies, as the sword clad in unstable ice elements clashed with the tough stingers of the two spirits.
In the fights below, an [Emperor Penguin] was looking at the beautiful sigil that had spread more than 30 meters in the air longingly. This was the stage it wanted to reach, the stage to be considered truly powerful!
Its longing was replaced with ferociousness as the focus came back to the huge Ogre Commander it was trading blows with, while gazing at the fight above every now and then.
Many scenes like this were playing out in the snowy lands between two mountains as newly appearing beasts reinforced the Frozen Kingdom's forces. Someone that was putting in even more contribution was the white robbed man shining in gold that continued to send down lights that healed any that were injured.
Many of the soldiers and mercenaries were sending reverent and thankful looks towards this Saint, but they could have never imagined that this same saint was the one causing the most mayhem in the battlefield with the use of [Zombie Master].
Bodies that should have remained dead across the snowy fields were constantly rising and spreading dangerous poisonous fumes. Many of them remained in the ranks of the Demon Legion's forces where they fought against them until they exploded into clouds of poison.
It was a terrifying sight where the numbers of green moving corpses were not decreasing overtime as they constantly exploded, but were actually increasing as more and more corpses were created. This created a tough fight for those in the Demon Legion as they found themselves increasingly cornered with more and more defiled corpses moving against them.
