Chapter 409 - The Slaughter Trial (II)
The Demon Marquises on the Blood Demon Leviathan's side only reacted after Ezequiel had connected his attack. They do not care about their leader, but it did not take a genius to figure out what Evil's next target would be.
Unfortunately, before they could do anything, the twelve Demon Lords that accompanied Evil into this dimension attacked them with nothing but killing intent and bloodlust in their eyes.
The Blood Demon Leviathan had regained control of his body, just in time to respond to Ezequiel's attack. He twisted his body, transforming himself into a blood tornado, just before the six fists charged with Terminus Force and the World Strength's Incarnation giant punches landed.
The Supreme Neo-Demon attacks managed to land on the Demon Marquess' back, generating six indentations that penetrated flesh and bones. Nevertheless, the blood tornado's force pushed him away the next second.
As for the World Strength's Incarnation, the blood tornado shattered his arms after they landed on the Blood Demon Leviathan's body. However, he was an undying being that felt no pain.
The next instant, the incarnation threw a kick to the demon's belly, sending him flying away before vanishing and appearing behind the Supreme Neo-Demon with a perfectly reconstructed body.
Thanks to his enhanced defenses, the Blood Demon Leviathan regained control over his body the next second. He stared at the Supreme Neo-Demon with rage, but his wisdom was high enough not to lose himself in the heat of battle and analyzed his surroundings.
Evil's Demon Lords took his troops by surprise and were overwhelming them. The other three leaders and their warriors limited themselves to watch things from the outside and did not involve themselves in the conflict.
The Blood Demon Leviathan got anxious as he saw the wounds on his Demon Lords and how Evil did not wait for a second before flying in his direction with the World Strength's Incarnation behind him.
"What are you three doing! Do you really believe this monster will have enough just killing me?" The Blood Demon Leviathan roared those words before flashing toward Ezequiel. He knew escaping was not possible since his speed was too inferior, so the only chance he had was to fight back and hope the others came to his help.
The Volcano Fiend, Venom Queen, and Darkness Killer adopted a solemn expression when they heard those words.
The reason for The Slaughter Trial's name was that the Blood Ponds that all of them hoped to use needed Demonic Bloodlines as fuel.
Of course, every leader had gathered plenty of resources for the ponds before coming to the dimension. However, the word enough was not in a demon's vocabulary, especially when there is so much "combustible" around them.
The three leaders glanced at each other and mobilized their Soul Origin before flashing toward the duo fighting in the sky.
The Volcano Fiend's body grew up to seven hundred thousand meters, equal to the Blood Demon Leviathan. The Venom Queen and the Darkness Killer did not grow massive, but armors made of laws and Soul Origin covered their bodies, enhancing their offense and defense.
Beneath them, the Demon Lords who came with them did not lose time and flew to the battlefield formed between Evil and the Blood Demon Leviathan's forces.
Ezequiel saw the three Demon Marquises coming to attack him and how his forces were about to be overwhelmed, but he ignored everything and focused solely on the enemy in front of him.
The World Strength's Incarnation flew ahead of the Supreme Neo-Demon and tackled the blood tornado.
A shock wave that cracked space formed in the impact zone, and the incarnation's body broke apart, but not before momentarily stopping the blood tornado's rotation.
Ezequiel took advantage of the opening and fired six fists to the Blood Demon Leviathan's jaw.
The Supreme Neo-Demon had just thrown a Demon Marquess flying away when three others arrived behind him, all of them ready to send their most powerful attacks.
Magma hotter than a sun's core covered the Volcano Fiend's arms while poison and flaming darkness impregnated the Venom Queen's spider legs and Darkness Killer's blade, respectively.
They fired their attack with all their strength, but to the Volcano Fiend's surprise, his comrade's attacks did not aim at Evil but him. Poisonous spider legs penetrated his right shoulder, and dark blade energy mangled his left arm.
The Volcano Fiend was furious for the duo's betrayal, but the danger was too much, and he needed to escape. Unfortunately, before he could do anything, the World Strength's Incarnation grabbed his shoulder and stopped him from running away.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" The trapped Volcano Fiend heard those explosive sounds. What triggered them were Evil's footsteps, and to his horror, the monster in front of him grew stronger with every step.
Feeling that his life was in danger, the Volcano Fiend did not hesitate before activating an artifact hidden in his mouth. The next instant, a blast of black lava extended in every direction.
The black lava destroyed the World Strength's Incarnation and sent the Venom Queen and Darkness Killer flying away.
A smile appeared on the Volcano Fiend's face when he saw his enemies getting away from him, but it froze the next second as he heard another thunderous steep.
"BOOM!"
Ezequiel appeared right in front of the Volcano Fiend's chest. The black lava was destroying his body, but the white lightning regenerated it equally fast.
Four Primordial Steps pushed the Supreme Neo-Demon's battle power to the Pseudo Rank 6 level for an instant, and he used every ounce of strength he had in the next attack.
Six massive holes appeared in the Volcano Fiend's body, and destructive white lightning overflowed his flesh and blood.
"AWWWW!" Along with that roar of pain, the Volcano Fiend detonated the lower half of his body.
Ezequiel was not able to resist the force of this new lava explosion. After being thrown a few thousand meters, he recovered control of his body and saw a flash of red light running away.
This scene startled the Demon Lords on the Volcano Fiend's side, but they had more pressing things to handle since the ones they considered allies until a second ago were now trying to kill them.
The Supreme Neo-Demon did not care about the fight happening beneath him, and killing intent overflowed his entire body as he focused on the escaping Volcano Fiend.
After a moment, the Venom Queen and the Darkness Killer appeared next to him. Even though they hid it, they looked for a sign of weakness but found nothing.
"You two handle him. I will go after the other one." Ezequiel pointed at the running Blood Demon Leviathan before flashing to the direction where the Volcano Fiend disappeared.
The Venom Queen and Darkness Killer did not like the commanding tone Evil used with them, but deep inside, they were afraid of such a cunning demon. They did not waste time and used their full speed as they chased after the Blood Demon Leviathan.
Ezequiel flew for half an hour before making a sharp turn and vanishing beneath the ground. Only after making sure that he was outside of everybody's perception did the Supreme Neo-Demon relaxed and deactivated his Law Avatar.
His face was pale due to the exhaustion, and after a moment, he threw up a mouthful of blood.
The Supreme Neo-Demon's "One with the Law" name was World Entropy. It granted him two extraordinary abilities that allowed him to overwhelm a Peak Rank 5 life form that owned a Law Essence.
The first is Entropy Body. The Primordial Entropy Lightning fused with his flesh and blood, enhancing his speed, offense, and defense.
Entropy Body also intensified his ability to draw natural energy and Origin Power, and he could use them to regenerate every non-vital organ instantly.
The second ability was One with the World. His consciousness became the new center of command for the World Strength, allowing him to use it to form weapons or incarnations capable of fighting alongside him.
World Entropy was incredibly powerful, but it put his body and mind under tremendous pressure, and the four Primordial Steeps left him with severe internal injuries.
Ezequiel hid everything from the others since any sign of weakness could result in his death.
The Supreme Neo-Demon closed his eyes and focused on recovering. The Volcano Fiend could not hide, and it was just a matter of time before he found him, but he needed to be strong enough to at least secure the Demon Marquess' Demonic Bloodline before killing him.
