Second World

Chapter 1893. Inciting the Devil

Jeanny and the others were stunned. Not because of the change in Mammon's appearance after the transformation. They were already aware Mammon could do this. Wilted had informed them beforehand. Their surprise came from the pressure the devil exuded after the transformation. The intensity of his aura was completely different from before.

Mammon's three heads flashed a grin before he vanished.

Jeanny's Dragon Lord Reflex triggered. She was shocked to find the devil was already next to her. Even with the time in her perception slowed to almost a standstill, Mammon's speed was still considerable. His darkness-coated claw was already almost upon her.

Jeanny tried to adjust her body position to dodge. But since only her perception sped up, her movement was extremely slow. She watched in helplessness as Mammon's claw got close. She couldn't push her body to move faster, then Mammon's hand touched her.

Her perception went back to normal. She suddenly found herself deep in the ground after scrapping the ground for almost a hundred meters. She lost almost one-third of her life from the hit, and this was also while her Dragon God's Protection was still active.

"Damn it!" Spring Crown cursed. He rushed forward while activating Weapons Festival.

His Asura and Ancestral Possession were still active. Combined with the melee weapons floating around him, he was as if a squad of combatants.

Mammon's grin never wavered. His two claws turned into a blur. Even with his superb eyes, Spring Crown was having trouble keeping up. The weapons floating around him were smashed away just from two of Mammon's swings. His ancestral spirit dimmed after getting a hit.

With his six arms, Spring Crown tried to target the weak points in Mammon's claws. Unfortunately, he was not fast enough, even with the buff from Weapon God Descent. His strike failed to hit any of the weak spots. The resulting impact sent him crashing to the ground.

Several silver darts and light beams hit Mammon. Mammon looked at his attackers. They were from Leda and the Soul Swan. After his two wolves returned to him, those two were free. They didn't get close enough, though. Several demons intercepted the two. David's Celestial Army Descend had run out of duration. With only Nova's soldier blocking the demons, some managed to slip through. These demons didn't touch Jeanny and the others. Mammon had sent a mental command to his army that these four outworlders were his.

Mammon ignored Leda and the Soul Swan. He let his demons deal with the two. He turned to David. That outworlder had been shooting at him non-stop like he was a target practice. It's time to teach the prick a lesson.

"Uh-oh…," David uttered when he saw Mammon's glare. His Super Soldier buff had ended. It didn't last as long as Jeanny and Spring Crown's buff skills. But even if he still had the buff, he doubted he could match Mammon's speed under the Cerberus form.

He wasn't just going to lie down and do nothing, though. He fired with the two guns in his hands. 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖

Mammon ducked and swayed while advancing. His fast movement created multiple afterimages as he dodged David's bullets. He could have just tanked David's shots and charged forward faster, but he wanted to toy with David. To give David a sense of dread while mocking him by not allowing even one bullet to touch his body.

"You think I can't hit you? Eat this!" David exclaimed in anger.

David used Celestial Commander's level 70 skill, Celestial Army Volley. An army of Celestial soldiers materialized before him. They were arranged in a vertical square formation, starting from the ground to the air above David. When they opened fire using their gunspears, there was no space to dodge. The volley was so compact that Mammon would still be hit no matter which direction he moved toward.

Jeanny, who rose from the ground, sighed at the sight. David's Celestial Army Volley was an offensive skill. Unlike Celestial Army Descend, the celestial soldiers vanished after carrying out their attacks. This skill was best used to inflict damage on a large number of enemies. It was a waste to use it on one enemy simply to ensure the attack hit. But then again, perhaps it was time to go all out. Cerberus Mammon was too dangerous.

'Freddie, prepare to use it on my signal!' Jeanny sent him a message.

She then sent another to Spring Crown, 'Spring, can you cover me for a while? I need some time to prepare my rune technique.'

'I want to say no, but I guess I have to man up,' Spring Crown replied. 'However, even if I want to, I can't stop him if he targets you. He is too damn fast!'

'Don't worry. I have a way to make him target you,' Jeanny said.

'You know what…? I am even more worried after hearing that,' Spring Crown said.

Mammon indeed couldn't dodge David's Celestial Army Volley, even with his speed. The volley was too compact. He stopped mocking David and charged forward. A dark protective shell covered his body as he charged. The volley battered this shell, but they could not penetrate it. The bullets from the volley exploded upon collision. The AOE blast passed through the shell and caused damage to Mammon. He ignored the blast. He continued charging.

"Ugh! I'm not done…!" David exclaimed. The image of multiple missile launchers appeared behind him. The missiles were then launched.

This was Missile Battery, Celestial Commander's level 60 skill. It was similar to Tetsuo's Homing Missiles, but David's missiles were bigger and more powerful. These missiles also had tracking abilities. They chased after Mammon when the devil stopped his charge and jumped to the side to avoid getting hit.

Mammon harrumphed. He swung his claws. His action discharged multiple dark blades. These dark blades also had homing abilities. They intercepted the missiles before they arrived. Their collisions resulted in multiple huge explosions.

Jeanny came before Mammon during this time. Spring Crown also approached from opposite directions. Mammon failed to approach David, but it cost David two skills for that.

"It seems you two are very eager to die first," Mammon uttered. His claws turned into a blur.

Jeanny could hardly block the blow. She was forced back again. While she retreated, she exclaimed, "Big talk! You are just the same as Hraghshu!"

The mention of his son's name immediately drew Mammon's attention.

"How do you learn that name!" He yelled and charged toward Jeanny.

Jeanny had expected that. She moved away while shouting, "Freddie, now!"

Cerberus Mammon might be fast, but if they knew where he was going to be, they could still catch him. Mammon landed where Jeanny was a moment ago. He was about to continue the chase when the ground under him erupted. A pair of titanic hands came out and grabbed his legs.

"What?!" He looked down and saw a treant-like creature. The creature seemed to be composed of earth, wood, and metal.

This creature was the World Sentinel. It was summoned by Freddie using World Warden level 90 spell. It was an eternal grade with the same level as Freddie, level 91.

Mammon tried to move away, but the World Sentinel's grip was strong. His two claws pounced mercilessly, but the World Sentinel had extremely high defense and HP. It didn't mind the punishment. Vines even started coming out from the World Sentinel's arms. These vines wrapped around Mammon's legs, making the grips even tighter.

Spring Crown and the spirit weapons attacked from behind while Mammon was incapacitated.

"Do you think this can stop me? Think again!" Mammon exclaimed.

He lifted one of his claws before bringing it down. The claw conjured a giant wolf's shadow. This shadow shredded one of the World Sentinel's arms. Despite its high defense, that arm was severed.

Jeanny knew the World Sentinel wouldn't hold Mammon for long. While the World Sentinel still had one remaining hand on Mammon, she shouted, "Spring! No need to be afraid of Mammon. Slay him as you did with Hraghshu!"

"Huh…?" Spring Crown had no idea who this Hraghshu was.

"You?!" Mammon turned to Spring Crown. "It's you who killed my son?!"

The report said that the killer was a male outworlder wielding two swords. Spring Crown used two swords among the many various weapon transformations during the fight. The report also mentioned the killer was using magic, which Mammon attributed to a misunderstanding. Everyone knew that an outworlder was limited to a single class. The demons who saw his son's killer must have mistaken some skills for spells.

"Your son…?" Spring Crown asked with a confused expression.

'Just go with it!' Spring Crown received Jeanny's message.

"Aw, hell…!" Spring Crown cursed. He then yelled at Mammon. "That's right! I'm the one who killed that pathetic Hrag… Whatever the name is! So, he was your son? Then I will waste you just as I've wasted him!"

Mammon's three pairs of eyes narrowed to a slit. His three mouths were grimacing, exposing all the sharp teeth.

"Grrhh… I WILL KILL YOU…!!! You will pay for what you have done…!"
