Chapter 62: Might of the Advanced Magic (2)

Gelgar was born of a Demon Earl mother and a Demon Marquess father but since he inherited far less pure bloodline than his siblings, he was cast aside at a young age.

Unlike humans, Demon can be birthed the proper way and also from the rich manas of the world.

For many years Gelgar was bullied by his siblings who had a higher growth rate than him and had also inherited the bloodline from their parents strongly. Compared to his limited growth, the height that they could reach was far greater.

One by one his siblings swiftly climbed up the ranks and left him in the dust as their growth accelerated. He on the other hand was marked as the loser of the family.

His siblings received the love and care of his parents and he on the other side was seen as the burden. Even the level-up crystals he received were biased and inferior compared to his siblings who enjoyed a bigger and superior share. The attention they received was what Gelgar yearned for.

Due to the constant harassment and bullying, his personality slowly started getting twisted, and as a result, he ran away from his family. In the past few decades, Gelgar made a new dungeon using his demon core, blackmailed and killed the lower-ranking demons before plundering their resources.

In a way, he was taking out all of his vexation and frustration out on the demon who were lower ranked than him. Gelgar knew that a lower-ranked demon wouldn’t raise their heads in front of him thus he suppressed them unrestrainedly.

He even stole and coerced the subordinates of other demons for fun and amusement and Simon was just another prey caught up in his scheme or so he thought.

He couldn’t comprehend what had happened in those last few moments. No, it would be right to say that he refused to believe what he just saw as everything was out of his expectation.

Gelgar had this weird feeling lugging at his heart from the start of this dungeon descend. And finally….

Simon stared at him indifferently and said in a tone that would give chills to anyone listening. “You ask too many questions… the answer is quite clear, you are going to die that is what is going to happen”. Holding the Crimson Blazing Flame Sword in hand, a terrifying aura emitted out of him.

Listening to Simon’s words, Gelgar finally blew up his fuse; after all, he could only take so much. Snarling in rage, his hair was dishevelled and the air of nobility that he carried himself with, was thrown out of the window as he roared out.

“Who do you think I am?… I am a Demon Viscount with a pure bloodline, a lowly demon like you dares to speak so outrageously to me, a higher ranking demon. Unforgivable” Yelling hysterically, his words were filled with bloodlust.

BOOM…

Like a burst dam, Gelgar released all his strength as a shockwave spread across the whole floor. Wild winds raged around him and his aura spiked up all of a sudden.

He gave a hoarse roar as his muscles started inflating, veins bulged all across his face, an effect of the [Berserk] skill. Before long, his body became a towering frame more than five meters in height.

[Berserk] was a skill that drastically increases one’s stats for a short duration of time. However, the repercussions one suffered was also dire. Once activated [Berserk] continuously drains the Magic Point (MP) of the user and places a heavy burden on their body.

Gelgar never expected to utilise this skill against an opponent he previously thought was beneath him.

Feeling the rise in power, Gelgar started laughing “Hehahaha look at our power difference. The likes of you want to defeat me? Don’t make me laugh”. His face was masked with madness as tides of killing intent surged out of him.

Immediately after his voice rang out, Gelgar started casting earth magic [Earth Spike Missiles] and wind magic [Wind Slash]. Both were novice tier spells.

Sharp howling winds carrying terrifying sharpness and huge earth spikes started taking form in the air. After a few seconds, dozens of earth spikes and wind blades materialised before flying towards Simon at a rapid speed.

Gelgar learned two forms of novice tier magic wind and earth furthermore combined with the might of a Demon Viscount, the power displayed was far greater than what a Demon Baron could output.

However, the way he used magic was too barbaric and the output magic showed no signs of amalgamating with one another.

Simon watched as the storm of attacks approached him but he did not try to dodge nor get out of the range of the attack. Instead, he chose to stand his ground. If Gelgar wanted to pit heads, he found the wrong opponent.

Wild sharp winds raged as they brought along pillars of thick sharp earth spikes and struck towards Simon with a momentum of a tidal wave. Though crude, the magic released by a level 291 Demon Viscount in his berserk mode couldn’t be underestimated.

With a calm face, he brandished his sword once again. But this time, he activated the one and only advance magic that the sword bestowed. “Infernal Magic Mastery- [Infernal Heatwave]” as he shouted out the name, the edges of the blade erupted in sparks by the friction and a blinding golden light covered the whole ninth floor.

Infernal Magic Mastery; the advance tier of fire magic was finally going to show its might.

An extreme heat incomparable to anything before erupted out of the sword as it met the opposing attack head-on.

BOOOOOOMMM…

A thunderous sound resounded as if a volcano had erupted spread across the whole floor as it assaulted the eardrums of everyone present.

Like molten lava, the advanced magic released by the sword vaporised everything. The howling winds, the earth pillar everything melted in an instant. There was no clash as the infernal magic devoured everything one sidedly.
