Chapter 933: Mass Destruction Battle
Chapter 933: Mass Destruction Battle
Lunara growled as she spun around and threw a slash toward Arad's claw, trying to slash it. CLANG! The two clashed and sparks blinded everyone. "YOU! Beautiful! Bastard! ...how can you think of such tricks!?" She laughed at the top of her lungs.
Since Arad still couldn't form his barriers, he used the slashing technique that Kayden taught him on his claws to block Lunara's blade. It was a chainsaw clashing with another chainsaw. Glinstone jumped in swinging a massive spectral chain trying to tie Arad in place, but Arad immediately gave him a terrifying stare of glowing eldritch flame in his eyes. A jolt of gravity magic rushed around Arad and violently pulled everything down for just a fraction of a second, forcing Glinstone's chains to miss and their magic to crumble against Arad's dense magical aura.
"This thing can control gravity to this extent?! No one told me anything about this!" Glinstone growled as he landed, but immediately saw Arad's massive and fat tail flying toward him like a whip.
Aronos jumped in and blocked Arad's tail with an attack from his great sword. CRACK! He smiled as he flew some of Arad's tail bones crack, but just like that, a crack seeped across his greatsword as well. "This is made of the bone of a fucking god you monster!" He shouted, waving his hand over the great sword to fix, and at the same time Arad's tail had healed.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" A voice boomed across the demons' heads, but of course, Arad was excluded. That was a warning sent by Kagoro to his companions to clear the area and survive his coming attack.
After countless trials and errors, Kagoro had finally managed to learn Arad's maximum range of 40 kilometers and stationed himself 45 kilometers away and aimed his sniper rifle after heavily modifying it. He is a genius demon lord who rose to power in a short time, and if anyone could challenge Arad's learning speed and improvising skills, it's him.
With all the modification and binding he had to cast upon himself, Kagoro managed to exchange efficiency for range and power, charging the majority of his power in a single long- range bullet of mass destruction and aiming the barrel toward Arad.
Arad turned, and stared straight back at Kagoro, scaring the living hell out of him. "Shit! He can see me?!" He couldn't believe his eyes; it should've been impossible for Arad to detect him. But he had misunderstood a few things and that was what exposed him.
Arad's detection range isn't physical, but magic, his eyes can see far past the 40-kilometer limit, and there was another thing that exposed Kagoro's location. The warning call he sent to everyone else was encoded so Arad couldn't understand it, but that didn't mean he couldn't track what direction it came from. If Kagoro ignored his companion's lives and fired without warning them, he would've caught Arad off guard, but he didn't.
Arad shoved his tail into the ground and pulled a massive boulder, immediately throwing it toward Kagoro with all of his might. Seeing such a move, Kagoro gasped and pulled the trigger with an aim straight toward Arad's heart.
The boulder flew straight toward the coming bullet and spun around it with gravity magic to avoid getting blasted. Due to the energy of the round, the boulder heated like a meteor as it approached Kagoro.
Kagoro's bullet was faster than Arad's boulder, but Arad had fired first. The moment the boulder flew right above Kagoro's head, seeing to miss the target, the bullet began sinking into Arad's chest, ready to blast his heart and back.
ZON! Using his magic that he left in the boulder as a beacon, Arad teleported right above Kagoro's head with blood still seeping out of his chest as the bullet exploded where he stood before and killed the other three demons' lords who didn't escape in time as Kagoro had fired prematurely due to the shock of Arad seeing him.
"Does this thing even need the fucking defense?!" Kagoro cried as Arad blasted him with a point-blank energy breath.
As the four demon lords woke up as Kayden resurrected them, they all cried. Their death had come so suddenly that they could barely believe it. They who are feared among countless layers of the abyss and boasting enough power to seem immortal to both mortals and demon kind had found themselves TPKed {Total party kill: A gaming term when your full party gets wiped out by something.} out of nowhere.
"You're finally awake?" Arad was sitting on a boulder behind them in his humanoid form, glaring at them with burning purple eyes. "Sorry, should I not resist? I can hold back if you want."
Kayden looked at him, "Do you know that if any of those four got summoned to the outside world, it'll be an apocalypse? I can't believe you need to hold back against them."
"Lord Kayden, who is he exactly? Since when such a monster is living in the mortal world, how is that even allowed?" Kagoro growled.
"Now I want him even more." Lunara crawled toward Arad, "Say, can we at least..." He kicked her in the face and sent her rolling for several meters away. "Still don't trust you. Keep your distance, I'm married." Arad glared at her and a mouth appeared on his neck, "{Yeah, I'll snitch if you did anything.}" Doma giggled.
"Two things." Kayden glared at them, "You don't comment or say anything, or I'll erase you out of existence. Take this knowledge to your grave." He glared at them with six burning red eyes, "He's Arad Orion, that should explain everything."
The demons fell silent, staring at Arad for a few seconds with shocked faces.
"That's what makes it even more worth it!" Lunara cried as she stood and lunged back at Arad. "I'll make you mine at all costs!"
Arad stood, glaring at Lunara. "I know you came here to train me and I'm thankful for that. But I won't allow anyone to threaten, disrespect or insult my wives. Another comment like the one you said before and not even he would be able to resurrect you."
Arad's threat was clear, yet even with that Lunara giggled, "I've already felt your power and I can respect and understand how far can you go, but would you really be able to prevent Lord Kayden from resurrecting me? You know his power over demons is absolute."
"Want to test me?" Arad was about to attack, but her words so far didn't confirm that she'd obey his one rule of not regarding his wives.
"Lunara," Kayden glared at her, "He was going easy on you before. Arad can eat souls, and if he ate yours even, I won't be able to resurrect you. I expected you four to hold better against him, but I've seemed to have underestimated his atonement to sheer destruction and
overestimated your powers."
The anchor of all life and resurrection magic is the soul, when it's destroyed, that's the true end. Unlike most beings who could only kill with their power, Arad was one level above that, boasting the ability to completely devour the souls of the dead and erase them from
existence.
He is a dragon that devours both matter and souls, erasing all existence back to the nothingness of the void. The four demon lords could only stare at him in silence, contemplating what had transpired in their fight so far. All those rapid deaths and sudden ends, if this was a true fight, they wouldn't have survived any of them even if Kayden was
there to help.
"The four of you are fine now, right?" Kayden stared at them, "Go back to training him." Kayden then turned toward Arad, "And, don't teleport, don't accelerate too far, and don't use magic besides your energy breath. You also aren't allowed to fly too high in the sky."
Kayden lifted his hands and the ground started shaking, a massive arena of demonic stones that spanned over one kilometer wide emerged out of nothing. "And none of you is allowed to exist in this arena."
The main goal of this fight is to damage Arad with different attacks and have him learn and develop his barriers, not having him beat the demon lords left and right. Winning wasn't the goal, but managing to learn how to defend is the true goal.
Arad started floating with gravity magic and his wings expanded, "Let's start, we only have one day to train." He flew to the center of the arena and shifted into his full draconic form, sitting and waiting for the demon lords to attack.
"We should get to work." Aronos stood and cracked his neck. "Damn right." Kagoro sighed, "This will hurt, I'm not that good at close-range confrontation."
"Lord Kayden! Could I stay with him after this battle ends?" Lunara said with an excited face.
"I'd suggest you don't. Dragons don't forget, but giving him some time might help ease the tension a bit. Threatening his wives got him sore on your side quite a bit." Kayden looked at
Arad sitting in the arena.
"Lord Kayden is right!" Glinstone smacked Lunara's back, "Don't you have a lot of fanatic cultists in the mortal world? Try to use them to gain favor and you might have a chance."
