Chapter 568 - Asmodeus VS. Paimon
Jin Rou laughed heartily and said to Asmodeus, "Kill her now. If you prolong this, I might change my mind."
His voice was filled with threat and authority. He was making sure that the other party would follow his orders without hesitation. After all, the fun would end if it wasn't the case.
Asmodeus could feel a chill running down his spine after hearing Jin Rou's words. In his mind, Jin Rou was a killer who would not bat an eye killing the likes of them.
"Paimon, I'm sorry but I have to do this." Asmodeus took a deep breath and dashed forward to Paimon, swinging his Hell Axe with a powerful momentum.
"Boom!" Paimon managed to defend herself from Asmodeus' attack by using her Demon Hell Sword. It was one of the strongest weapons that ever existed in this place so it was obvious that it could be on par with the Jell Axe.
Paimon gritted her teeth and shouted,"To the death, then!"
She knew that she couldn't convince Asmodeus anymore so she had no choice but to kill him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The two great demons turned into black lights and clashed against each other, illuminating the world with their brilliance. The power of the two great demons made the Great Hell tremble in fear. It was like an imminent catastrophe was coming.
"Activate!" Asmodeus couldn't believe that even after being exhausted, Paimon could still fight him head on. Take note, she had just used her power to crack the void a while ago.
Afterwards, the Hell Axe's appearance changed. From being black, it turned bloody red with demonic symbols all around.
"Again!" Asmodeus shouted and initiated the attack. He now looked like a death god coming for Paimon's head.
"Argh!" Paimon tried to deflect the attack made by Asmodeus, but the power of the swing was ten times greater than the previous. The demonic symbols boosted Asmodeus' attack power so it was understandable that she couldn't withstand it. Furthermore, she was already exhausted before the fight even begins.
"Break!" Albeit tired, Paimon refused to give up and used her remaining strength to create a small crack in the void once again.
"You're trying to pull off the same trick again. Not a chance!" Asmodeus knew how terrifying this skill of Paimon was, so he needed to stop it no matter what.
"Too late." Paimon sneered and the void cracked. It then released a phoenix filled with blue fire around its body.
"Screech!" The Void of Imagination. This was the ace card of Paimon that she only use for desperate situations. Once she was successful in cracking the void, she could make her consciousness enter it and run her imagination, and it would become reality. Of course, there were prerequisites to meet first before it became successful.
"Thump! Thump!" Paimon knelt down on the ground due to her legs turning very weak. Cracking the void used all of her strength and she could barely breathe. Now, everything would depend on this technique.
"Screech!" The Bluefire Phoenix screamed as it descended down to Asmodeus together with its tsunami-like torrents of blue fire. It was like it was aiming to devour everything.
"As if I'd let you!" Asmodeus shouted at the top of his lungs and activated all his defensive treasures to protect him. He also chanted demonic chants to boost his Hell Axe's power. Now, both his offense and defense were in its maximum state.
"Bring it!" Asmodeus gritted his teeth and received the Bluefire Phoenix's attack. It created large explosions all around as the blue fire scatterrd in all directions, burning everything in its path.
The clash only happened for a few seconds before everything covered by a thick fog.
"Ugh, I'm so exhausted... Damn it." Paimon could barely speak. She was still chasing her breath and trying to recover a bit of her strength, "Fortunately, it looks like the battle is over."
She tried to detect any life signs in the thick fog, but there wasn't. So she assumed that Asmodeus might be dead now.
"Do you really think it's over?" However, Jin Rou broke her fantasy and smirked, "Look over again."
Paimon could feel her body being frozen as she looked at the thick fog. There was a standing being with tattered clothes. In fact, only that on his crouch remained covered. He was filled with blood as many deep cuts were around his body. Nevertheless, the prideful demon was still alive.
"Impossible!" Paimon was in utter horror and disbelief, "The blue fire will turn you into ashes if it touches you, how were you still alive?!"
"Paimon, you might have forgotten that I'm a Great Demon. And in terms of raw power and defense, I am superior to you." Asmodeus said. There was no part in his body that wasn't wounded, "This will be the end."
He held the Hell Axe firmly and walked over to the exhausted Paimon.
"No, think about what you're doing!" Paimon wanted to move away but she still had yet to recover any strength, "Even if you kill me and he spares you, do you think Baal will? Remember his iron laws, if you break it you will still die!"
"That might be true. But I'm going to think about it after killing you." Asmodeus was still firm with his decision, "What's important right now is to kill you and survive this."
"No, Asmodeus. You can't do this—" Paimon didn't finish what she wanted to say as Asmodeus cut off her head. It was a clean cut as black blood splashed like a fountain in the place. Paimon's head roll on the ground towards Jin Rou.
Jin Rou looked at the cut head. He could see that she was filled with hatred and vengeance, "Great job, Asmodeus. You have killed your kin perfectly."
He clapped his hands and smiled, "That's a good show and I had fun."
"You will spare me now, right?" Asmodeus could feel his body trembling from exhaustion. He abused his body too much this time. If Jin Rou turned back on his word, he would be helpless to do something against it.
