Supreme Monarch

Chapter 239 – C239. Moloc

[Ghahahahahah… Gahahahahha… Finally, Moloc is free! This world shall know chaos!]

 The moment the Devil climbed out of the portal, it unleashed a burst of devilish energy that couldn't be contained within the training hall. Exuding massive amounts of pressure over a wide range that could even suppress Tyler. 

 Cora, who stood at the end of the room was unable to withstand the sheer force of such an oppressive aura and passed out. It didn't seem like Zelda and Nessi would come out of the forced stasis anytime soon and Tyler didn't have the time to figure out how to get rid of the skill's effects. 

 Maeve had also risen from his shadow and now stood in front of him in an attempt to act as his shield but Tyler knew she wasn't strong enough to withstand any of the Devil's attacks.

 Standing at a height of roughly 27 feet tall, Maloc's frame was way more than imposing as his aura could even drive men mad. He continued to laugh maniacally while Rampling on about his purpose and chaos, his arms were lit with flames of hell as the flames morphed into two pitch-black curved blades that glistened against the light. 

 [Everything will fall before Moloc, Lord of Chaos!]

*BOOM!

The moment it had completely materialized its weapons, Moloc's feet dug into the ground and the magically reinforced marbled floors shattered as the massive figure of the Devil shot forward like a cannonball. 

 Tyler didn't have enough time to put Zelda and Nessi to the side but Maeve had moved to protect him by using her skills before casting several spells simultaneously without any incarnations. If he remembers correctly, she did have the skill, Silent Magic that bypasses any cast time, delays and incantations.

 •Abyssal Bind•

Pitch black demonic chains that seem to have arisen from the depths of the abyss shot out towards Moloc who had already closed in on Tyler and Maeve even though the training hall was massive. She bombarded him with all sorts of darkness and Abyss-based spells.

However, everything seems to only bounce off Moloc's skin without leaving so much as a scratch, it was as though her attacks had meant nothing to him. Maeve was undead, and thus, she could not feel fear else such a scene would've crushed her fighting spirits. 

 Her only goal right now was to serve as a shield to her master even if it cost her life. 

 Using her skill, Dark Wisdom. She quickly processed the best way to protect her master as killing the Devil was deemed to be impossible for just herself. 

•Shadow Flight•

•Summon Shadow Familiars•

•Dark Lightning•

 Activating multiple skills at once, she quickly went into action as Moloc was breaking through her Abyssal chains like they were nothing. The shadows beneath her feet immediately rose as a portion of it wrapped itself around her figure in the shape of a bird and lifted her into the air and the other portion of the tangible shadows formed the shapes of various monsters both land and air-based. 

 Her shadow familiars immediately lunged at Moloc who had finally broken free of her abyssal chains but they were only met by swift deaths as Moloc's massive blades cleanly sliced through them while igniting the sliced half in hell fire.

However, as shadow creatures, they would not die until Maeve runs out of mana and they quickly regenerated even from a single strand of shadow.

 While they kept Moloc semi-occupied, Maeve flew behind the distracted Moloc as blackish white lightning danced across her hands as though it was sentient and eagerly shot towards Moloc at lightning-fast speeds.

 However, contrary to expectations, Moloc did not suffer any damages as he had nimbly turned around in an instant, completely ignoring the shadow familiars attacking him, and caught the bolt of dark lightning from the air then proceeded to literally tear lightning of absolute destruction in half. 

 Tyler who was watching this scene from the side to gauge the capabilities of this Devil was dumbfounded. Logic didn't seem to apply to this creature as it was just doing whatever the hell he wants. 

 "So this is why those guys fear Devils so much." 

Now holding two bolts of Dark lighting with two of its four arms, Moloc used one of the halves of the lightning in obligating all the shadow familiars around him and flung the other half back at Maeve who could not react in time.

 Tyler quickly teleported in front of Maeve and devoured the dark lightning using his God Tier Artifact. Such a highly destructive skill would've certainly destroyed Maeve. 

With nothing left for her to do, Tyler immediately ordered Maeve to retreat as he planned to handle this himself. However, the moment Maeve had retreated into his shadow, Moloc had leaped into the air and arrived before him in an instant.

 His speed was certainly not something to scoff at.

 Following his appearance before Tyler, a fist the size of a mountain had suddenly covered his view and before Tyler could react, his body was shot backward as he slammed into the wall, almost shattering it despite its energy absorption capabilities.

"Damn, how strong is this guy. Didn't the wand limit the summons to only Tier 6? How is this Tier 6?"

 Tyler hadn't felt any pain despite being slammed into a wall. This was because he always had Universal barrier active around him despite its high mana consumption. If the barrier hadn't taken the brunt of that blow, he wasn't sure his resistances were enough to withstand that such a magically infused blow.

 Tyler's body dropped from the wall to the ground and before he could even stand up, Moloc had already appeared before him, laughing the entire time as he swung his fist at him again. 

 Tyler didn't want to get blown away by the fist yet again so he moved to meet the attack and caught the punch with his right hand. However, Moloc wasn't done yet as another fist caught fire as it descended on him from his left.

 Tyler raised his left arm to catch the fist again but that was a mistake as his corrupted arm could not withstand the pulsion force and almost immediately shattered upon impact. 

The fiery fist did not give Tyler the chance to process the idea of losing his arm yet again and slammed into his body. But Tyler had willed himself to withstand the heavy blow and hadn't even been moved an inch.

 However, Moloc had more than two arms and two of them wielded a sword. With a ferocious swing from the left yet again. The massive black blade impacted the barrier around Tyler's abdomen and his legs could not get a firm grip on the ground. 

 The mighty blow swept his feet off the ground, sending him crashing into the wall yet again as Moloc continued laughing while taunting. He moved to where Tyler was and raised both blades on his lower arms, crashing them down at Tyler with immense speeds and strength that almost cut through space itself. 

•Gravity Pluse•

Before the black blades could connect, a tiny black ball of gravity exploded in Moloc's face but could only send him staggering back a few steps. 

 Tyler pulled himself out him the partially collapsed wall. His corrupted arm was already rapidly regenerating but that apparently, was not a good thing as the healing factor was expanding the corruption deeper into his body and it was already visible in his face which was messing with his mind. 

{Warning: Negative corruption has expanded past 60%, drastic measures are needed to prevent further corruption. Recommended action available.}

 "Of all the times for this. Not now."

 Tyler's senses were being hampered by this corruption and he could barely use his skills much less cast spells. His predicament was not lost on Moloc who had just recovered from the gravity bomb that exploded in his face without so much as a scratch on him. 

 [Hahaha…. you actually hurt me a little… but it's over now. Moloc will reign supreme.]

His pitch-black blades were now engulfed in hell flames as he lunged towards Tyler and swung both blades at him all the while still laughing maniacally. 

"You asshole!"

 Before Moloc's blades could reach Tyler, his head was met with a lightning-infused kick that sent his entire body flying all the way across the room as though he weighed nothing. 

Standing in place of Moloc was the figure of a dark elf with glowing short white hair accompanied by her glowing pupils as well. Silvery white lightning danced across her body like a type of deity of thunder. 

 It would seem her secret technique had undergone some changes since the last time she used it. Turning back to face the surprised Tyler, Rain rushed over to him and asked worriedly.

 "Lord Ty, are you ok? What did that Devil do to you?"

 It would seem the negative corruption was now visible from Tyler's neck to a part of his face which was making her worried. Tyler could only smile faintly as he answered her.

 "I'm fine. I'll just need some time to deal with this."

 "That's great. I'll take care of that Devil in the meantime. Please take your time. I promise I won't fail this time."

 "Don't you mean we'll?"

 The one to cut in was Liz, she had just arrived with Albert, Z, and Erin. It seems Rain's speed was still superior which was why she arrived first. 

 Teleportation was also being hindered by the presence of Moloc who had finally gotten off the ground with almost no injuries after receiving such a powerful kick from a full-powered demigod. This Devil's strength was ridiculous. 

 Erin then rushed over to Tyler after sensing the corruption. She was the only one that could help him this time as none of his healing spells would have an effect. 

[Ghahahahaha….. this is. Great, this is perfect. More worthy Sacrifices for Moloc to devour. Chaos shall reign. Bow before Moloc you lowly hybrid gods.]

"What nonsense is this creature spewing?"

 Albert asked as he took out a different weapon from his storage ring. Unlike his favored miaodao, this was a magic weapon that was larger than what he was used to but was required for this situation. 

 "Seems it's underestimating Lord Ty. Such insolence is Unforgivable!"

'I think it was underestimating all of us and not just me dude.'

 While Tyler thought that, he didn't have the luxury to voice his thoughts at Z's comment and just focused on restraining the corruption from spreading as Erin assured him. 

 "Annoying bastard. I won't forgive you for this!"

 "Please calm down Rain. We're all just as angry but this is a Devil Lord. Let's proceed with caution and make lord Ty proud."

 Liz seems to be the only voice of reason as everyone else including the gentle Albert were now enraged from seeming Tyler in this state. However, if one paid attention to her, they could see the absolute anger in her eyes.

It was obvious they were mistaken in thinking the Devil was responsible for his current state by using some kind of underhanded curse. Unfortunately, Tyler had missed the chance to correct their line of thoughts so for now, he would just have to go with this.

 Tyler almost felt bad for Moloc who would soon receive the wrath of two demigods and two demon lords for something he didn't do.. But that was just a fleeting thought as he returned his focus back to getting the negative corruption under control again.
