Supreme Monarch

Chapter 240 C240. Devil Lord

[Sacrifice your souls to me. Moloc will grant you a quick death.]

After pulling c himself off the collapsed wall he had crashed into. Moloc continued to laugh madly as he declared his dominance even after he was kicked in the face. A dense and ominous aura immediately gusted out of his massive frame. Suppressing the auras of everyone else.

"A Devil has no place to make such a demand in the presence of our Master. I'll cut you down to size."

Moving ahead of the group, Albert angrily swung his slightly larger blade, and a streak of energy cut through the dense aura and continued forth until it struck Moloc's shoulder.

However, the Devil lord simply disregarded the attack as he charge forward to meet Albert.

[I am Moloc the Chaos Lord, tremble before my might! Gahahhahaha..."

The streak of energy had shattered upon impact with Moloc's skin without even leaving a scratch on him. However, Albert did not waver in his words and instead stepped forward.

The two quickly closed the distance between them as Moloc swung his weapons down at Albert who raised his sword to block the attack. His magic weapon accelerated multiple times, negating most of the power difference between them. However—

*Boom!

There was only so much he could do to negate the immerse defenses between a mortal and a Devil Lord as the massive impact caved in the marble floors as Abert was forced down on one knee, his arms trembling from the force.

However, just as Moloc seems to be having fun pressuring Albert into the ground, several absolutely massive ice lances flew at him with incredible speed as they froze the air they flew by leaving a trail of ice specks floating behind.

Moloc reacted quickly and raised one of his free arms to block the ice Lance but unfortunately, they did not penetrate his skin and upon impact, the ice lances shattered and froze his arm solid, in ice that could not melt.

Before Moloc could even react to his frozen arm, Z had stealthily appeared beside him, launching a fist-sized ball of gravity that straight at Moloc's other arm while simultaneously using probability correction to boost the attack chance of success.

The ball of gravity imploded immediately upon contact with Moloc's arm, taking off part of his shoulder for good measures.

Left with only his two remaining arms, Moloc tried to finish off Albert so he could properly handle the rest when the air around Albert suddenly changed as his aura immediately skyrocketed while wrapping his entire body in a dense golden aura.

He had activated the skill; Battle Lord and promptly pushed Moloc's weapons to the side, destabilizing his balance.

•Spatial Slash•

Gripping his blade with both arms, Albert's body disappeared as he reappeared 20 feet in the air next to the massive Moloc. Twisting his body sideways, he swung his magic weapon diagonally and space itself gave way as the forceful impact broke through Moloc's near-impenetrable skin and sent him tumbling back.

*BOOM!

[IMPOSSIBLE! Moloc cannot be defeated. Gahahahahahaha, chaos will reign.]

Finally driven to anger from being injured by Albert's attack after losing two of his arms, Moloc was about to regain his stance when someone suddenly appeared behind him.

•Absolute Rend•

Using perfect invisibility, Rain had circled the Devil Lord without being noticed and immediately used her most lethal one-hit kill attack. Swinging both daggers at Moloc while twisting her body sideways, it was as though reality had been shredded.

No one in the hall could comprehend what had happened as she appeared in front of Moloc and the next moment, his entire torso was ripped apart by the lacerating force of multiple dimensions being spilled.

Absolute Rend was a skill that could literally cut everything. A skill powerful enough to even damage demigods at its weakest so naturally, it would not be weaker when used by an actual demigod.

As the pieces of Moloc's body dropped wirelessly to the ground in loud thuds, the others returned their attention to Tyler who had been focused on something else and hadn't been paying attention to the fight. However, even Tyler while distracted could tell, the battle wasn't over and so could Z.

*Boom!

A large disembodied fist slammed into the ground where Albert had been standing but fortunately, Z had already teleported Albert away from that location as the others instantly put up their guards.

[Ghaahahahahahha... Moloc cannot be killed by mere demons. Sacrifice yourself to me and die a quick death. Else, know the torment of hell!]

All the pieces of Moloc's body turned into balls of energy and immediately began to gather into one large mass of energy until Moloc's body was reformed and he continuously laugh madly in a mocking tone.

"What a troublesome pest."

No one here was ignorant about devils as Tyler had been. They were all aware that devils were spiritual life forms that were completely made of spiritual energy.

While spiritual energy was the weakest form of energy that could be easily influenced by other forms of energy which constituted a spirit being's main weakness.

A Devil Lord was one of the most evolved forms of devils the dwelled in the spirit world or the underworld. After surviving the harsh nature of the spiritual plane for millions of years, an arch Devil would evolve into a Devil Lord.

Their bodies— which are normally only a mass of spiritual energy, would be reconstructed into a mass of, for lack of a better word, Demonic energy.

This was a more aggressive and chaotic form of darkness energy that could even overwhelm other forms of energy aside from holy or light energy. Thus, normal energy-infused attacks could not even scratch the skin of a Devil Lord.

Hence why Moloc had been able to survive all their attacks that would no doubt decimate an Arch Devil were already at the same rank as a demigod.

There was no doubt in their minds that this Devil was beyond their capabilities. However, none of them showed any signs of fear nor did they plan on losing. The fact of the matter was, thus Devil lord had disrespected their master and had to pay.

*Boom!

Encasing its four arms in hell flames, Moloc pounded his fist into the ground, and pillars of lava erupted from underneath each of their feet as though they had been standing on an active volcano.

However, while such an attack was easy to avoid, Moloc hadn't aimed to kill them with such a simple ability. He easily predicted the direction Albert would dodge to and appeared before him.

Brandishing his blades with Unfathomable strength that even with Battle Lord still active, Albert couldn't make up for the vast differences between a mortal and a demigod by displacing the energy from the attack.

However, with the combination of the skills Foresight and Spatial Perception, Albert didn't need to see nor block the attacks head-on. He quickly used an Advanced footwork technique and was able to narrowly evade every strike even though his speed pales in comparison to Moloc's attack speed.

Just as Moloc sensed what was happening and planned to change his attack pattern while interfering with Albert's psyche, another resounding kick landed on his face and he immediately lost his balance and stumbled back.

Several large ice swords then pierced him in various locations while freezing his body from the inside. He immediately countered that attack with hell flames that burnt through his entire body. Turning his body into pure hellfire that consumed the unmeltable ice.

Returning to his solid state, four hell fire-induced laser beams shot out of his eyes at Liz who stood at a distance. However, a ball of Dark flames that had been hurled at him by Z suddenly crashed into his back.

The black fireball exploded upon impact, throwing off the aim of his lasers by a lot even after he had managed to absorb most of the power behind the destructive flames.

Their fight continued like this for several minutes without anyone further gaining the advantage. The impact of Moloc's strength transcends just the physical plane and thus was being displaced across dimensions which were why the entire castle hadn't crumbled just from the shockwave.

To be able to go toe to toe with two Demigods and two Demon Lord level fighters was impressive. It shows just how powerful a Devil lord was.

However, a Devil could not properly manifest their full power without a medium and Moloc was yet to obtain a physical body, making his powers unstable. It was why he couldn't use any complicated skill and why he could not overwhelm these creatures he was clearly far superior to.

•Omni-Burning - Water Cannon•

Overlapping multiple skills together, Erin's body suddenly turned incorporeal as a massive serpentine water dragon appeared beside her and opened its maw, gathering massives amounts of equal energy into a tight hall that shot out a massive ball of boiling water.

It didn't take a genius to sense the Immeasurable power behind this water cannon and everyone immediately knew to get out of the way.

This was an attack that could burn even gods, fate, and time. Naturally, not even a Devil lord could survive the full brunt of this attack. Unable to avoid the ball of boiling water after he had ended up being forced into a corner by the relentless attacks of the four, Moloc laughed madly once again and two of his arms were immediately consumed by Dark Flames.

Having successfully integrated the absorbed destructive flames that had been used to attack him into his very chaotic essence. He had made the flames his own and could now use them alongside his hell flames.

•Chaos Fall•

Stretching his arms forward, a spiral wall of dark flames mixed with hell fire flames appeared before him and stopped the water cannon in its tracks. The ball of boiling hot water of absolute destruction, burnt even the flames of hell but failed to burn the destructive dark flames.

However, Moloc could not produce enough dark flames to completely stop the attack and was forced to sacrifice two of his arms to survive.

Even turning back into a ball of energy could not fix his arms and the smile finally disappeared completely from his face. Another attack such as this would surely be his downfall and that could not be allowed.

[Impudent mortals. Pay for your foolishness with your soul. Moloc shall devour everything!]

[Vlatrone Ingra.]

Spoken in the devil's tongue that even magic sense couldn't translate for Tyler. Moloc cast the ultimate spell of decay and disintegration. It was a spell of the 9th tier.

The highest known rank of magic there was. A spell that consumes everything it touches, completely decaying or disintegrating them to their very atoms. It didn't matter if they were physical, magical, or conceptual, everything would be turned to dust.

Ash grey flames gusted out of Moloc's massive frame in a sphere that disintegrated everything it touched including the marbled floors which were all turning to dust.

Unable to accept defeat, this was Moloc's answer. He would consume everything in the flames of time and reduce this continent to dust. Nothing that comes in contact with the flames of time could resist its effect.

[Gahahahahaha... Be turned to dust and let chaos reign supreme.]

Seeing this, no one hesitated as everyone besides Tyler and Erin tossed as many attacks as they could at the sphere of grey flames but their attacks were quickly consumed. Albert tried to stop the spell's advancements with a secret technique but his sword immediately turned to dust.

It was painfully obvious that there was nothing they could do to stop this spell and Moloc knee it as he continuously laughed maniacally with a smug look on his ugly mug.

However—

"Huh, I can finally move my arms again, that's a relief. Well, still a little stiff tho. Now then, how bout we put an end to this game of charade, shall we? I'm afraid the concept of holding back just went out the window."
