Chapter 1006: Against A Mighty Foe
Blake\'s attacks rushed down like lightning, as he combined the power of four Spear Mastery Techniques at once, further boosted by his Summoner\'s Aura generated by the bonuses of all his Familiar Cards, plus his Divine Dragon Aura, and even further, his Divinity itself.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Each blow came packed full of immense power, Mammon\'s armor, which was the Elven King\'s most precious treasure, a Celestial Grade Spirit Armor forged thousands of years ago…
Was gaining cracks!
"T-This is…! RAAAH!"
Mammon somehow panicked, despite being in a clear advantage, he panicked! He quickly swung his Spirit Sword against Blake, and then summoned a second Spirit, something resembling a giant salamander made of fire, which turned into a second, blazing sword.
"{Divine Spirit Swordsmanship Arts}: {Arc of Light}! {Blazing Cross}!"
SLAASH! SLAASH!
Blake was quickly hit with two tremendously powerful attacks, capable of easily slicing through a whole mountain. The potency of the Elven King\'s power was immense!
Yet…
Level 8 Spear Mastery Techniques: [Celestial Piercing Strike] and [One Thousand Battalion\'s Spears]!
Blake\'s Auras combined as one, as the illusion of a thousand soldiers resembling himself appeared behind him, their spear attacks rushing down against him, each one enchanted with a near-Celestial power capable of piercing everything.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Blake parried and blocked the immense techniques from Mammon, and then quickly attacked him again, aiming not at his head, but his chest.
"As long as I can shatter his Spirit Orb, he won\'t be able to summon the King\'s Spirits nor his Spiritual Power anymore." Blake thought.
Crack, crack…!
"Dammit!"
Mammon quickly stepped back, fully aware of the weakness Blake was trying to exploit.
"Fucking dumbass."
"Huh?"
The Archdemon of Greed was too concentrated in the fight, and already thinking the "extras" were dead.
Because of this, he had not noticed there was a large shadow right behind him, which he was sinking into.
"T-This is…?!"
The shadows extended around his entire body, the King\'s Spiritual Aura erupted, rainbow spiritual flames burning through the shadows with ease.
But this entire thing gave them a lot of time to act.
Yeah, them!
FLASH!
More shadows appeared out of nowhere, as Mammon\'s eyes opened wide, Chris, Erika, and Erdrich rushed down towards Mammon with all their strength.
"Weren\'t you dead?!"
"As if we would die against a parasite like you!"
Erika roared angrily, swinging her giant blade down with all her force, all her Draconic Power, her Mana, her Spiritual Power, converging completely into a single, spinning and slashing attack.
"{Yggdrasil Dragon Swordsmanship Arts}: {Yggdragon Meteor}!"
CRAAASH!
The impact was enough to spread hundreds of cracks across the armor again! Mammon couldn\'t believe it, as he felt his vessel\'s bones gain a few cracks as well as his muscles were torn apart.
"Uuaagh!"
He fell into the floor as both of his spirit weapons trembled, barely resisting being completely destroyed.
The demon attempted to stand up, only for Erdrich\'s blazing fists to rush down like meteors.
"The Cambion…!"
Mammon\'s eyes would have been full of greed before if this wasn\'t a terrible situation to be in.
"{Heavenly Demon Battle Arts}: {Demonic Lightning Dragon Fist}"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Erdrich\'s fists, once impacting Mammon, felt like explosions, and they were.
The potency behind them was utterly ridiculous, and it surpassed all common sense.
The Celestial-Grade armor, which was already old and worn down, finally shattered into countless pieces, as Mammon was engulfed on an explosion of crimson lightning as Erdrich\'s Aura transformed into a dragon.
BOOOM!
"F-Fuck! What\'s going on?!"
Mammon couldn\'t believe what was happening.
He was being overwhelmed!
Even while holding the body of the King of Elves, no less!
"How strong… How strong are they?! T-This is utterly ridiculous!"
But the beating wasn\'t over yet, as Mammon maneuvered the King\'s body while in midair, and attempted to retaliate with another powerful swordsmanship art, Chris surged from above.
Having already fused with his Fox Spirit, his stats and powers skyrocketed, and with his [Demonic Flame Axe] gifted to him by Blake, and his other Axe, formed from his Salamander Spirit, he hacked through the King\'s blades, his own spirits.
"{Spirit Dragon Flames Weapon Arts}: {Blazing Dragon\'s Fangs}!"
CRAAASH! CRAAASH!
Two devastating blows hacked through the Elven King\'s armor completely, engulfing him on an explosion of flames, his body was sent flying away, slamming the wall of the castle and making even bigger of a mess.
"Ugh…! Y-You monsters! When! How?! How did you raise them to be this powerful?!" Blake roared in utter frustration and fury.
"It could be said the Holy Spirits are by our side," Blake smiled.
And that wasn\'t far from the truth, it was thanks to the Fire Holy Spirit Divine Authority that Blake could give his fire attribute wielding friends the ability to absorb Soul Flames.
By absorbing them, their stats skyrocketed even higher, it made Erika and Erdrich even stronger, and helped Chris and Alberta quickly catch up with everyone, and even surpass that.
"But how are they still alive? I am sure they were all cut to shreds!"
"The blood was from an unfortunate guard that didn\'t make it," Blake smiled. "Do you think I would ever be unprepared against surprise attacks? Think again, Mammon. I was the one that sealed you after all!"
Blake attacked Mammon again as he mocked him, the elven king stepping back as he blocked the incoming blows. Mammon was constantly regulating his energies, mana and spiritual energy, and letting it all out.
Eventually, he quickly got the gist of it, managing to reinforce the King\'s body through his powerful physique. His muscles grew larger out of nowhere, and his aura became more oppressive.
"You can underestimate me all you want, Asmodeus…" Mammon smiled through his vessel\'s face. "But don\'t underestimate this old monster I\'ve possessed, hahaha!"
As they clashed blades, Erika, Chris, and Erdrich rushed to attack Mammon again from behind, only for the archdemon to release all his power at once.
His Rainbow Spiritual Aura, a convergence of all the elements the King possessed imbued with his Developing Divinity, quickly transformed into four more muscular arms.
The King\'s spirits were summoned and turned into more blades.
And on a showcase of ridiculous power, a storm of cutting winds of all colors and elements were unleashed.
"{Divine Spirit Swordsmanship Arts}: {Elemental Storm}!"
BOOOM!
