Chapter 470 A Father's Resolve
Chapter 470 A Father's Resolve
-----
Berith and Astaroth were constantly fighting against Allan and Agni without stopping. Many times the cries of Lilith resonated from below the ground, as the two, as her servants, tried to go for her aid, but they were stopped every time. The power of their master was, in fact, not so good at physical combat. Apparently Lilith specialized in the power of enchanting and creating illusions, but due to being summoned here, such powers were not as strong as the others. It didn't helped that she disliked being burned or hit in delicate areas due to being overly obsessed with her own appearance.
Berith and Astaroth knew of their lady's weaknesses, and how much they were being targeted by the mysterious little girl who had gained the power of the Ancient Dragon one of them was fighting to the death. However, every time they were about to go aid Lilith, they were stopped over and over again by Allan and Agni, who were cheering for Sylph in the background. Her father was shocked, of course, to see his daughter fighting a True Demon 1v1, and was about to personally go and help her, even if it means he had to handle both Berith and Lilith at the same time, for his daughter that was nothing, even if it meant that he would have to destroy his own body in the process.
However, to his surprise, Sylph's amazing power was the real deal. After her unexpected Familiar Contract with the powerful Ancient Dragon Agni, she gained an unprecedented amount of incredible strength. Although it was only temporary as long as this entire battle lasted, it made her strong enough to fight against Lilith while her mother supported her with healing magic, buffing magic, and barrier magic. Somehow, it was possible for Sylph to go something completely beyond her current levels of strength.
At the end, she unleashed a tremendous amount of power, using once more that mysterious magic power that she had since being born, which both of her parents had already noticed. Her ability to suddenly conjure or bring out power without the necessity of the required chanting or the specific knowledge to use mana, she was gifted since being born, and her System was one of the reasons behind her incredible power. The System by itself was completely unknown to them, but they did knew about its power, something they merely called her "Talent".
However, even with the aid of Agni's powerful Contract and Dragon Force Energy boosting her magic and physical strength, it was still completely insane that Sylphy was able to do all of that and more. And even went as far as shattering Lilith's Demon Core. In that time, both Allan and Agni thought Lilith was miraculously defeated, and realized she was actually weaker than her servants… however, that only lasted a few seconds as Lilith's phantasmal presence emerged, capturing Sylphy.
"Sylphy?!" Allan cried, as he saw Sylphy bleeding from most of her orifices as she was being infected with Demonic Miasma. She was dying!
"GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTEEEER!"
Allan rushed to aid her with everything he had, but Berith stopped her, clashing against him!
CLASH!
"You've not let me aid milady in all this time, now I won't let you aid your child, hero! Confront me!" Berith, whose entire body was covered in countless wounds inflicted by Allan furiously fought back with everything he had, his Cursed Pike unleashing blasts of demonic energy which Allan constantly parried and blocked, although some ended hitting him directly, slowly weakening his physical strength, but it wasn't as if Berith was any better. Their fight was one of endurance, and Berith was slowly falling behind. However, he still had enough power to stop Allan!
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Get off my way!" Allan roared, furiously unleashing a storm of endless flames against Berith, who tanked it all with his bare body and unleashed countless piercing attacks using his Pike, throwing Allan back several times.
"I won't falter! Milady's vessel might be destroyed, but us demons can last even without a body, as long as our Demonic Souls exists. This is why we store our Demonic Cores inside our bodies…" Said Berith, revealing a weakness to Allan because he recognized his strength and braveness. "Now milady is putting her entire being into fighting, she is showing her truest self! I cannot simply let you intervene in such a moment for her!"
Berith roared furiously, even as a wicked demon that enjoyed bathing in the blood of his foes and devour the souls of the damned, he had an immense feeling of honor, pride, and dedication and loyalty to his master.
"I don't give a damn!" Allan roared, like a mad dog, he continued fighting while gritting his teeth as he saw his daughter being killed in front of his eyes.
"SYLPHYYYYYY!"
Suddenly, his roar was so loud that an enormous ray of flames emerged from his entire body, the combination of all his spirits' power, reaching Lilith from behind. Sylphy was unable to see anything as she was blinded, but Lilith was impacted by an enormous attack, which left her completely weakened!
BOOOMMM!
"UNGH?!" Lilith muttered, and right in that moment, Sylph's curse activated, beginning to devour Lilith's weakened Demonic Soul.
"YOU DISHONORABLE BASTARD!!!" Berith roared furiously, clashing against Sylph's father, as Allan noticed his daughter awakening some sort of Darkness Attribute Spell of high Tier he could only speculate to be something similar to the [Black Hole] Tier 8 Spell, something only Shade could use, and limitedly. However, he had no time to wonder as he had to fight Berith's full strength, completely furious about what Allan had done.
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
Allan's katana-shaped sword continued clashing against Berith's enormous pike, as Lilith's screams of agony as she asked for the aid of her servants could never be answered, as she was ultimately consumed completely, something these two demons had never seen before.
"Lady Lilith… T-This can't be… No…! Her soul… Her soul was eaten?!" Berith began to cry in front of Allan, as Sylph's face distorted in surprise. "You bastards…! This wasn't supposed to go this way! ROOAAAAAHHH!!!"
CLAAASH!
