1911 Chapter 1911. Last Stand

Bird Asmodeus stood over Leavemealone's body with a condescending expression.

"That's what happens when a weakling attempts to fight someone out of their league," Bird Asmodeus mocked. He turned his attention to the other side. Four Winds' Axe of the G.o.d had just fallen over Snake Asmodeus. Dragon Asmodeus was wounded by Arthur.

The injury suffered by his two halves wasn't severe, but it was embarra.s.sing. How could they let outworlders push them to such an extent?

He was still thinking about whether to help Dragon Asmodeus or Snake Asmodeus when he sensed hot mana from behind him. He turned around and was astonished to find a raging flame burning from the outworlder he had just killed.

His astonishment turned to alarm when he realized this flame was sentient. A loud shriek sounded from inside the flame. A spell formation formed above the flame following the shriek.

Multiple fireb.a.l.l.s emerged from the completed spell formation. Bird Asmodeus moved out of reflex, evading the fireb.a.l.l.s about to hit him. These fireb.a.l.l.s turned and chased after him.

"Flame Wrath?" Asmodeus identified the spell. He cast Dispel while retreating. The fireb.a.l.l.s evaporated out of existence.

When he returned his attention to the flame that cast Flame Wrath, he found the flame had grown wings. Another shriek and the flame converged into a more distinctive shape. A giant firebird! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"What is this trick? A spell?" Bird Asmodeus asked.

Arthur, who was a distance away, recognized the firebird. It was Suzaki. 'Was she freed after Leavemealone lost his life?' He thought with worry.

Suzaki remained still after revealing herself. Bird Asmodeus didn't. Whoever the opponent was, he would tear them to pieces. He cast a spell that conjured multiple lightning arrows before turning into a lightning bolt himself and zooming forward.

Suzaki's burning eyes flared once Bird Asmodeus delivered his attacks. She spread her wings, releasing many fire darts. These fire darts intercepted the lightning arrows. The air was filled with explosions as the lightning arrows and fire darts collided.

Bird Asmodeus in lightning form moved in a zig-zag pattern, evading those explosions. The lightning turned back into Bird Asmodeus once it got near Suzaki. A flame s.h.i.+eld appeared as Bird Asmodeus delivered a kick. The kick destroyed the flame s.h.i.+eld, but Suzaki was no longer there. She shot up into the sky.

"Don't think you can run," Bird Asmodeus uttered. His lightning wings spread, and he shot into the sky as well.

Bird Asmodeus was faster than Suzaki. It didn't take long for him to catch up to the firebird. Suzaki used her wings to cover herself and turned into a fireball before Bird Asmodeus arrived. This fireball then rushed at the incoming devil.

Bird Asmodeus wasn't fl.u.s.tered. His leg went up and kicked the fireball. The fireball bounced from the impact. He then chased after it.

Suzaki in fireball form was faster than her normal speed. Her current speed almost rivaled Bird Asmodeus' speed. The two went around at high speed and crashed repeatedly in the air.

"Do you think you can match my speed? Think again!" Bird Asmodeus exclaimed. He again transformed into lightning when Fireball Suzaki almost crashed into him. His lightning form made a sharp turn and he was now behind Suzaki.

He kicked Suzaki from behind, and the fireball crashed into the ground. Bird Asmodeus cast a lightning strike to pin Suzaki on the ground while he zoomed there.

Suzaki had returned to her normal form, but she wasn't helpless. Fierce flames burst out of her when Bird Asmodeus arrived. Bird Asmodeus was damaged by this flame outburst. These flames were intense enough that Bird Asmodeus stopped approaching and took a step back.

These flames condensed into a thick fire beam that aimed at Bird Asmodeus. Bird Asmodeus was too close to do evasive maneuvers. He erected a lightning s.h.i.+eld. Multiple runic symbols revolved around the lightning s.h.i.+eld, reinforcing it.

The fire beam crashed into the lightning s.h.i.+eld. It held for a while, but eventually, the runic symbols melted. The lightning s.h.i.+eld shattered with a bang. The fire beam lost its power after destroying the lightning s.h.i.+eld, but Bird Asmodeus still received damage from the explosion.

After performing the Giga Flame Burst, Suzaki shrunk.

"I won't be able to do this again for some time," she said. "Don't die again."

She shrunk until her flames formed a normal human shape. The flames diminished in intensity, and Leavemealone was seen inside the flames. His HP was back to full.

"If you let me die, there is a chance you might gain freedom or die with me. Aren't both those outcomes preferable for you?" Leavemealone asked.

"… It's not a certainty," Suzaki answered. "I can only grant you the flame rebirth once in this battle. Don't expect me to do it again."

"I understand. I have no intention of dying again," Leavemealone said before adding, "Thank you, Suzaki."

Suzaki didn't respond to the grat.i.tude.

"You…," Bird Asmodeus was surprised that Leavemealone was still alive. "What kind of trickery did you use…? Never mind. I will just kill you again."

Leavemealone clenched his fist. "Do not expect it to happen twice, devil!" Leavemealone proclaimed.

Although Suzaki let Leavemealone take over, she didn't recede completely. While Leavemealone had used her flames before, it was different this time. Suzaki was actively supporting him. Leavemealone was as if wearing a suit of bird costume made of flames. Suzaki's head rested atop Leavemealone's head as if a helmet.

Transformation also occurred in Leavemealone's body. Demonic features developed as he used Devilize.

Leavemealone took a stance. "Come at me, devil!" He exclaimed.

When Leavemealone dropped to the ground with zero HP, Four Winds was staring down the gorge his Axe of the G.o.d had created.

"Your skill couldn't have killed him, could it?" Blackhole asked.

"I don't think so. The devils are immune to instant kill, even if they receive a grave wound," Four Winds said. He turned to observe the other two Asmodeus. "Wilted said the three will recombine once they lost a certain amount of HP."

Four winds noticed Leavemealone, who died when he was looking at the two Asmodeus. He was considering engaging Bird Asmodeus when he heard a scream from behind. He and Blackhole turned and saw that Snake Asmodeus had shown up. Petunia was shooting at the devil with her gunbow while Aneid was half inside the mouth of Snake Asmodeus' snake head.

After getting hit by the Axe of the G.o.d, Snake Asmodeus hid within the gorge. He bid his time and stayed out of everyone's mana sense range. He slithered to where Petunia and Aneid were. Though he didn't want to, he must admit the four outworlders were not easy opponents. He decided to take out the weakest and the source of their healing. With his explosive speed, he struck when everyone was unaware.

"Release her! You, devil!" Petunia shouted. She never stopped shooting her gunbow while her left hand continued to cast offensive spells, but Snake Asmodeus ignored all that.

Less and less of Aneid was seen as Snake Asmodeus gobbled the poor healer. Four Winds and Blackhole rushed over to help, but Snake Asmodeus' man head had prepared a spell. Lightning Storm was cast. The large area offensive spell a.s.sailed the two and halted their advance.

When Aneid fully entered Snake Asmodeus' stomach, a large recovery number appeared above him. Four Winds' Axe of the G.o.d had left a long wide scar along Snake Asmodeus' body. This scar narrowed after Snake Asmodeus consumed his prey. Although the wound was not fully healed, it was mending.

"Tch!" Four Winds didn't expect the devil to resort to such a covert tactic and ambush them. He had been careless.

Snake Asmodeus' man-head grinned at them. It was not a condescending grin like before, but a savage one. "I'm done playing games with you, people."

After speaking, he let out a high-pitched shriek. A commotion was heard from the demons all around the battlefield.

"He is calling for his demon minions to come here!" Blackhole exclaimed. He saw the nearest demons ignored the defenders and rushed in their direction.

"d.a.m.n it!" Four winds cursed. He expected this devil to have the arrogance to continue taking them on by himself. It apparently was not so.

Blackhole cast his AOE offensive spells at the incoming wave of demons. Two of these spells came from his pinnacle cla.s.s. The first was Ruler of Elemental's beginning spell, Elemental Tempest. It was a more powerful version of Elemental Storm that dealt every elemental damage except for chaos and soul.

The second was Ruler of Elemental's level 90 spell, Elemental Armageddon. When this spell was cast, it was as if an Armageddon had occurred. Lightning rained from the sky, the earth quaked, fire burst out of the cracked earth, and multiple hurricanes formed followed by a hail of ice. This spell covered an extremely large area, but the great thing about this spell was the elements a.s.sailed only the enemies. The elements left allies alone unless they intentionally stepped into where the elementals were raging.

Arthur also adjusted his position and unleashed Primordial Punisher's level 80 skill, Punis.h.i.+ng Devastation. This was also an AOE offensive skill. His skill hit both Dragon Asmodeus and the demons coming to the devil's aid.

More and more demons came. Several high demons came from the air and were prepared to cast their spells at Four Winds and the others, but a strong beam of lightning hit them out of the air.

A thundering roar followed. Quetzalcoatl arrived and released countless lightning that a.s.sailed the demons in the air.

On the ground, many orc soldiers came rus.h.i.+ng and intercepted the demons who came to Asmodeus' aid.

"Sorry, it takes some time to reorganize the army," Water Lily sent Four Winds a message. "I have sent over most of the defending soldiers on the wall. I will also leave this war table behind and go over there to fight. As you said, there will be no more retreating. This is our last stand. We will focus on the demons around you. Please take care of Asmodeus as fast as possible."

"Thank you," Four Winds replied. "We will win this war. You mark my words!"
