Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Chapter 338 - Two Out Of Three

Horuda was more than ten thousand years old, and as a Demon Lord, he had fought countless battles where his life could end at any time. By using his experience and the threat of death, he was able to push his body beyond its limits and move his head just in time to avoid the white sword cutting it in half.

'My body can resist it!' Horuda was sure the damage he would take would not be too much, even after taking the attack head-on.

A hurricane charged with superheated plasma was blasted in every direction as the sword descended.

When the white sword landed in his chest, the Demon Lord knew he had underestimated the power it carried.

Only one word came to Horuda's mind as the white sword broke his collarbone, destroyed his ribs, and incinerated his right lung.

'Heavy.' The Demon Lord felt as if a sharp meteorite had collided with him.

By pushing the yang attribute of his Absolute Solar Yang True Doomsday Body to the limit, Zatiel had driven the weight of his white sword to an unbelievable level.

The physical damage Horuda suffered was immense, but the worst part was that the destructive energies inside him went out of control.

Rage appeared in the eyes of the Demon Lord. He no longer bothered with the consequences and redirected all of his energy into his left arm. By disregarding the rampage of Zatiel's flames and Philistos' toxic aura, Horuda made sure that his next attack would display the full power of a Rank 5 Demon at the 2nd Engraving Stage.

Zatiel's eyes narrowed as he detected the claw carrying a raging silver aura that was about to strike him. They were too close to dodge it, and his all-out attack had left him exposed.

A light appeared in Zatiel's eyes as he analyzed the battlefield. He was able to extract the white sword from Horuda's chest, use his wings as a shield, and twist his body right before the claw landed.

The Demon Lord's attack generated a sonic boom that extended for thousands of meters and had the power to shred the bodies and souls of Rank 3 life form to pieces.

The Neo-Demon right wings shattered once the claw struck them, but the destructive power in Horuda's attack did not end there. Zatiel's right arm and a considerable part of his chest, containing his lung, kidney, and liver, were pulverized.

The damage would have been much worse if it wasn't for the hardness of his body.

The attack sent Zatiel flying away with an incredible speed. Immediately his bloodline began to work on regenerating the lost limb and organs, but the silver aura surrounding the wounds made the task very difficult. His Rebirth Force was consuming itself at an impressive rate, trying to heal him and expelling Horuda's nefarious energy.

Horuda wanted to chase after the Neo-Demon and immediately finish the job, but his body was too hurt, and he found it hard to move. He made sure to maintain his consciousness over Zatiel, and when he detected where his attack sent him, his eyes widened.

"Leina, look out!" Horuda saw how Zatiel was fastly approaching the battlefield between the female Demon Lord and a Rebirth Incarnation. Usually, he would not care if the woman lives or dies, but now that they were facing such a dangerous opponent, the loss of an ally would be fatal.

Leina heard the warning. After releasing her consciousness to explore the surrounding, she detected the Neo-Demon was coming her way.

Unfortunately, she could not divide her attention as the Rebirth Incanarton rushed to her like an enraged beast.

After fusing with her Law Avatar, a green toxic aura covered the female Demon Lord's body, and her tails became more slender.

She prepared to push her opponent away and focus on her defense until Horuda could assist her. To her shock, the Rebirth Incarnation allowed one of the tails to pierce his chest to get closer to her.

'Why did he do that?' Leina did not understand his opponent's decision. Her attack had destroyed the incarnation's heart, and now it would not be able to continue fighting.

She obtained her to answer the next moment. The Rebirth Incarnation gave her a cold smile before self-destructing right in front of her.

"BOOM!"

A blast of purple and golden plasma that contained all the energy left in the Rebirth Incarnation consumed Leina instantly.

The superheated plasma filled the sky with powerful energies.

The female Demon Lord was able to leave the core of the explosion after a second. She was missing the lower half of her body, and the rest was completely burned.

'I need to run.' That was the last thought Leina had before a white sword cut her head off.

Zatiel immediately put the Sealing Rune on the Demon Lord's head and trapped her True Soul.

The Neo-Demon stored the head in his spatial ring before focusing on the one-armed Demon Lord coming his way. His condition was dire, but he did not run and remained close to the zone where his incarnation exploded.

Quietly, his Eye of Life and Creation was gathering the energy close to him.

The moment Horuda arrived, the battle between the duo renewed. The Demon Lord had already given up on his body since the damage in it was massive. Nonetheless, he needed to kill Zatiel first so his True Soul would be safe.

As the battle continued, deep cuts appeared in Zatiel's body, and Horuda's organs rotted until becoming dust.

The Demon Lord's body shook once his heart began to stop working, and the Neo-Demon took the opportunity to push his claw away and fire a beam of energy from his Eye of Life and Creation.

The beam contained a significant part of the energy the Rebirth Incarnation released after his self-destruction, so its power was great. It landed right in Horuda's face, destroying most of it and causing immense pain.

The Demon Lord's eyes were destroyed, and he could not control his consciousness due to the pain and the damage. However, he felt a palm positioning right above his heart and how a massive amount of chaotic energy was about to be released.

"Apocalypse Blast." A concentrated beam of chaotic energy that contained all the Elemental Chaos Zatiel had left was released from his palm.

Zateil's energy pool was low by this point of the battle, but it granted enough fuel so the blast could destroy most of Horuda's chest, giving the final strike to his heart and lungs.

Before the True Soul could escape the soul dimension, Zatiel put the Sealing Rune on the Demon Lord's broken body and transferred it into his space ring.

Now that Horuda and Leina were both defeated and sealed, Zatiel focused on the last battlefield.

His last Rebirth Incarnation and Juin were both tired and injured. However, this final Demon Lord had impressive defensive abilities, and it would need a lot more damage for his body to give up.

'My energy pool is empty after using Apocalypse Blast, and I can hardly move my body right now. I don't have too much Soul Origin left, and my Astral Origin is also running low. I need to focus my Rebirth Force on my wounds. Even if I can defeat this Demon Lord, I don't think I can stop him from escaping.' After taking into consideration every factor, Zatiel sent a command to the Rebirth Incarnation. There was no need to keep fighting when the outcome would not gain him anything.

Juin and the Rebirth Incarnation were in an impressive melee battle with pincer clashing against scythes made of golden plasma. Then all of a sudden, the incarnation separated from the Demon Lord and began to fly away.

The Demon Lord with a canine head was surprised. Just a second ago, his opponent was an emotionless machine that would not separate from him no matter the damage he took, but now he left just like that.

Juin did not chase after the incarnation and took a moment to breathe and analyze the battlefield. The Rebirth Incarnation pressure on him forced him to focus entirely on his fight and ignore everything else.

Fear filled his heart when he noticed that he was the only Demon Lord left alive. Although he also saw Zatiel's deplorable condition and the fact one of the Rebirth Incarnations was gone, he did not dare to bet and ran away immediately.

The Neo-Demon saw how the Demon Lord escaped. He was a little disappointed by not being able to trap them all.

'Two out of three is not so bad.'
