Chapter 216 - What Matters Is Winning, Not How You Do It!
-----
Beelzebub glanced with surprise and awe at what he was seeing, his sight could not deceive him, those he thought were dead were actually right in front of him!
"W-What? You… All of you… You're… alive?" muttered Beelzebub.
"Why yes… We have been enlightened, Beelzebub!" laughed the Golem King, shining with bright crimson light.
"This is the grace of our new lord, Noah-sama!" laughed the Rose Vine King, expanding its crimson-red vines.
"Our master is a benevolent being, he says that you can join us by serving him… after dying, of course!" said the Bee-Fly King, conjuring magic.
"What? The invaders revived you? What kind of crazed necromancy is this?!" said Beelzebub, gritting his teeth as he was attacked by the Rose Vine King's bloody vines, which were now incredibly resilient!
CLASH!
Beelzebub unleashed his spectral soul over his body, generating large shadow claws and intercepting the vines, but many of them still reached his humanoid body and began to entangle him!
"Y-You…! I will free you from this!" roared Beelzebub, unleashing several spears made of shadows and impaling his former ally, the Rose Vine King, clashing through his crimson body as he saw that his wounds released crimson-colored phantom essence.
"What kind of beings have you become?" asked Beelzebub, raising his spectral claws, and slashing the Rose Vine King into pieces!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Unnggryyarr…!"
Its crimson-colored phantasmal body fell over the ground into pieces, as Beelzebub was suddenly hit by a powerful ray of crimson light!
CLASH!
"Unngaggh…!"
Beelzebub vomited a mouthful of blood, as he was directly crushed into the wall by the force of the light attack, which began to burn through his skin!
He glanced at its origin, the Golem King, who was shining brightly on his Core Form, which seemed to be made entirely out of crimson crystal now!
"Let us free you from this mortal flesh!" laughed the Bee-Fly King, as he conjured several magic circles, where the slimy poisonous red-colored poison came from, shaping as bullets and falling over Beelzebub as he was engulfed by the bright crimson light of the Golem King!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Unnngaagh…! Everyone…" muttered Beelzebub, feeling doubt at attacking his former allies and the only ones he considered his friends.
However, he quickly unleashed part of his true power, generating a wave of spectral shadows and consuming the crimson light made by the golem king, as he directed his hands to the Bee-Fly King, unleashing a beam of darkness and crimson-red energy!
CLASH!
BOOM!
As the Golem King fell over the ground alongside the Bee-Fly King, Beelzebub braced himself, rushing towards the Golem King and raising his legs, enhancing them with his spectral soul and unleashing a barrage of powerful kicks over it, quickly shattering the Golem King into pieces!
CRASH!
Afterward, he rushed towards the Bee-Fly King, as the beast greeted him with several crimson-colored stingers which were fired at him like missiles.
Beelzebub enhanced his own body through his blood manipulation, making his blood run faster as he waved his claws and destroyed the stingers, reaching the Bee-Fly King and then punching it several times, while also kicking it and slashing it with his spectral soul.
CLASH! CRASH!
"GAAAKHHH…!"
The Bee-Fly King was crushed into pieces and splattered over the ground!
"Hahh… Hahh…"
Beelzebub glanced at the bloody, phantom-covered corpses of his former allies, gritting his teeth as he gasped for air.
"What have I done…" he sighed, he glanced at his own hands trembling.
And then…!
FLASH!
For a split of a second, Beelzebub lowered his guard, and Noah immediately used this opportunity to launch an attack at him!
He used Excalibur itself, which was able to fly at immense speeds!
It flashed like a ray of darkness and crimson-red light, reaching Beelzebub without him being able to completely react in time, even though he did perceive it midway through his body!
CLASH!
The blade broke through the wind and impaled Beelzebub's chest, crushing him into the wall with a loud explosion!
BOOM!
"Unnggrraaaaaagghh…!"
Beelzebub vomited a mouthful of blood, his entire chest was blasted open as his heart and lungs were destroyed, his entire body was spasming, his eyes red-shot, and directly closed into Noah and his army who had emerged right before him!
"Y-You…!" muttered Beelzebub, but Noah didn't even give him a second to talk anymore, he had to be merciless and quicky, and get over with this Boss as fast as possible!
Controlling Excalibur while he generated dozens of projectiles made of elemental blood gems covered in red flames, Noah showered Beelzebub with attacks from all sides, crushing his limbs and splattering his body through the entire castle, while using Excalibur to slash through his entire body and blast him with corrupted holy light!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Beelzebub's entire body was being thrown away into the air and the castle, as he screamed in agony!
"Unngaaaggh…! W-What is this!?" Y-Youuu…!"
Beelzebub, who was mostly crushed to bits ad having his head barely intact and his neck left, suddenly roared in anger, surprising Noah, and everyone due to his amazing resilience, even after being crushed like this he was surviving?!
CLASH!
Suddenly, black thunder fell from the sky, as the entire castle began to fall apart!
Noah and everyone quickly ran away from the castle, while glancing from far away.
"Did he die?" asked Arthur.
"No, I can feel it, he's still alive!" said Iris.
"Yeah, just like his friends, he has prepared a second form for us, how nice of him!" said Noah while smiling bitterly.
BOOM!
The large pile of castle boulders and ruins exploded, as gigantic muscular arms covered in black scales emerged, alongside an enormous and muscular body reaching around 4 meters tall!
It was immensely muscular, covered in black scales and glowing crimson red jewels, his hands had sharp claws alongside his feet, and he had a long and sharp tail. With a face that looked like that of an ugly orc, four blazing crimson eyes, and two gigantic black-colored hours spiraling into the skies, it was Beelzebub's "true form"!
"So you're the ones that did all of this…! Behold my true form, this is my Pseudo-Archdemon Transformation, which I can only achieve momentarily, but it is enough to crush you!" said Beelzebub.
"Are you so idiot to tell us that your power is temporal? Don't you fear that we will stall for time until it wears off?" asked Noah cheekily, which took Beelzebub aback for a second.
"I don't care because I will crush your skull before that happens!" roared Beelzebub, rushing towards the party at an incredibly fast speed!
However, Noah smiled as he pointed his hands at him!
"Come out, everyone!" he laughed, as all the Blood Soul Servants from all the monsters here he raised alongside the ones he already had, which he saved inside his Inner Realm of Flesh and Blood were suddenly released in a flood of crimson blood and red phantom!
SPLASH!
The gigantic sea of blood and red phantom made of countless Blood Soul Servants fell over Beelzebub, stopping him from his tracks as hundreds of tentacles made of blood grabbed him and began to entangle his body, tightly gripping him!
He roared, unleashing his attacks, and crushing many Blood Servants, but more continued to attack him, desperately holding him tightly while sacrificing themselves to some buying time!
"Ungrraaarrrrgh! You bastard, such underhanded methodssss…!" roared Beelzebub, feeling frustrated that Noah wouldn't dare fight him head-on!
"Hah! After all, what matter is winning, not how you do it!" laughed Noah.
