BXBX NOVEL Chapter 696 The Power Of A Demon Lord
FLASH!
"Lady Monica!!!"
The rest of Monica\'s servants screamed, trying to help her, but they were too slow.
The demon was already in front of Monica\'s shocked body, her long claws pointing at her face.
A creepy smile surged in the demon\'s malicious and ugly, fleshy face, her bright red eyes glowing menacingly, as she exuded pure killing intent, further paralyzing her prey.
Monica was completely helpless…
"Monica Darkage, this is your end!" The Demon laughed, slashing her sharp claws at Monica. "Lady Lilith will be really pleased with your torn down body!"
CLAAAAASSSH!
Monica closed her eyes in utter horror, fearing the worst.
However, there was no pain once the claws hit something, generating a loud clashing sound…
In fact, the sound was quite… metallic.
"I had thought that it was weird you demons didn\'t appear when we were exploring the Dungeon. It would had been the perfect time to ambush us once more. But then I remembered Monica\'s background, and how she could be related to the demon\'s uprising in the Silvertide Kingdom. And how I am so strong you have begun to fear me now. So… naturally, you would target another, weaker person, that is even more important." The voice of a young man spoke in front of Monica. Someone she knew very well. "Turns out I was right in the money."
"B-Blake?!" Monica gasped in shock.
She noticed how his body was made completely of shadows and was surging from the bracelet he gave to her! Turns out he had used this bracelet as a "insurance" in the worst case possible, a demon showing up.
Through the power of the Shadow Spirit Stone imbued into the bracelet, and Blake\'s own Level 7 Shadow Manipulation Art: [Shadow Teleportation] and [Shadow Embodiment], he was able to both teleport into this stone by turning into pure shadows and appear right now.
"I-It\'s you?! ASMODEUS!" Roared the demon in surprise, quickly stepping back in fear.
FLAAASH!
Blake instantly surged from Monica\'s bracelet, as the Shadow Spirit Stone shattered, it couldn\'t be used more than once to do Shadow Teleportation.
"B-Blake, you\'re here?!" Monica cried in surprise. "H-How…?"
"H-He\'s really here!"
"H-Holy shit…"
"I can\'t believe it…!"
"Wait, Eliana! Is she okay?!"
Monica\'s friends quickly gathered around their friend.
"Don\'t worry, I didn\'t come alone." Blake said. "Hendrick, Elizabeth, patch her up."
"Very well." Hendrick materialized out of Blake\'s own Spirit Orb
"On it!" Elizabeth appeared out of his shadows, and so did Erika as well.
And then, the rest of Blake\'s Vampire Spirits appeared one after another…
"E-Eh? W-What is… happening?" Monica was still processing everything, but it seemed that Blake always predicted this would happen and prepared really well for it.
Turned out that today he was having a second date with Erika, Elizabeth, and Eleanora, so he easily brought them with him by putting the two girls inside his shadows. Eleanora could naturally teleport anywhere he was as she was his bonded spirit.
"Y-You..! We didn\'t wanted to confront you because you\'ve grown strong too fast!" The demon muttered angrily. "You\'ve completely ruined my lady\'s plans!"
"Lady?" Blake asked. "Oh, you serve Lilith, don\'t you? You\'re quite strong… nonetheless."
The Demon in front of them, although afraid of Blake, was a Demon in the level of Demon Lord, they were as strong as B Rank monsters, and this explained why Monica and her friends couldn\'t do a single thing against her.
"Y-You won\'t get away with this!" The Demoness roared, waving her hand, suddenly, a blazing gate slowly opened. "I\'ll take this opportunity to kill you then!" She smiled with a delusional tone of voice.
"Kill me?" Blake laughed. "It seems your brain is failing you."
"Let\'s see if you can keep that confidence once you and your friends are torn to shreds by an army of Demons!" Laughed the Demoness. "Come! [Demon Gate]!!!"
Demon Lord Rank Demons and above had the power to naturally generate Demon Gates, bringing forth Demons with them. However, this was a power they couldn\'t use all the time, having a long cooldown once activated.
FLUOOOSH!
The Blazing Demon Gate opened, as flames seemed to be burning the empty air, a portal leading to the depths of hell emerged, as demons quickly started crawling out of them! There were more of the same type of demon as her, sleek, slim, and resembling fleshy dolls named Beauty Dolls, but there were also classic demons in mythology, such as Succubus and Incubus, both serving Lilith, the Archdemon of Lust.
And of course, tons of Insectoid Demons, coming to avenge their fallen leader in the best possible scenario, as Blake had purposedly appeared and exposed himself to them.
"He\'s here! ASMODEUS!"
"KILL HIM!"
"We\'ll avenge Lord Beelzebub!"
"You bastard, you\'re dead meat!"
"KILL!!!"
None of these demons were Demon Lord level, but most of them were Demon General Level, comparable to D+ Rank Monsters or even C Rank! Most of them were just as strong as the Rat King Monica had defeated.
"Hahaha! Now you\'re cornered!" Laughed the Demoness. "You might be powerful, but you can\'t possibly fight all of us, without all of your other friends!"
"Oh? Really?" Blake laughed. "The only reason I didn\'t stopped you from summoning them is because I wanted EXP."
"W-What? Exupe? What is that?!" The Demoness asked dumbfounded.
"The power that\'ll help me grow even stronger." Blake laughed, expanding his Shadows across his surroundings, dozens of demons were quickly caught in them! "[Shadow Domination]! [Shadow Jaws]!" He laughed.
"Ugh?!"
"AGH!"
"W-What is this?!"
The Demons started to panic as they realized they couldn\'t move away from Blake\'s shadows, the shadows slowly pushing them down into its quicksand-like form, as enormous jaws made of shadows started surging one after another, biting their bodies and slowly tearing them to shreds one after another.
CRUNCH!
"Gyyyaaaggh!"
CRUNCH!
"S-Stop!"
CRUNCH!
"Uaaaggghhhh…!"
CRUNCH!
"H-How strong is his shadow powers?!"
CRUUUNCH!
"M-Mere shadows are harming Demon General-Rank Demons?! Impossible…" The Demoness serving Lilith was left perplexed. "Stop! I\'ll take you on!!!" She roared, rushing towards Blake at full speed.
"Nah, you\'re fighting us!"
"How dare you think you can fight my lord without his permission?!"
However, Erika and Eleanora stepped forward at the same time, intercepting her attacks with their powerful Demonic Weapons!
CLAAAASSSH!
