"..."
The entire room fell into a heavy, dead silence for a full second as the severed head of their comrade rolled across the floor.
The five remaining demon worshippers stared in horror at the lifeless face on the ground... then they slowly looked up at Raye.
Raye stood perfectly still, his body poised and calm— yet he was radiating a sharp, chilling pressure that felt like ice against their skin.
Beads of sweat began to pour down their faces, and acting purely on instinct—
"RUN!!!"
Their very first thought was to get as far away from him as possible.
However, Raye had no intention of letting them leave this place alive— THUD!
Utilizing his [Telekinesis], he slamd the wooden door shut, the very sa one he had kicked open only monts ago.
"...?!"
The worshippers screeched to a halt when they saw their only exit blocked, their faces twisted in surprise.
Fwish~
Raye took out [Imperial Edge], gripping it firmly in his left hand to dual-wield it alongside [Nyx].
Then, calling upon the power of [Celestria]— SWOOSH~!
A brilliant light erupted around him, forming into a set of elegant, high-grade armor. It was a stunning combination of pristine white plates and intricate gold trim, covering him completely from head to toe and shining even in the dark tunnel.
The worshippers turned back to face Raye... and they realized that a direct confrontation was now completely unavoidable.
"FUCK IT, JUST ATTACK HIM!"
The woman worshipper scread the command, pointing a trembling finger at Raye.
"UGH, TAKE THIS...!"
"DIE, YOU BRAT!"
F W O O S H—!!!
The five of them desperately gathered every ounce of demonic energy they could muster into their hands. They combined their dark power into a single point, forming a massive, swirling sphere of purple and black energy that nearly filled the entire room— and then they launched it directly at Raye!
"..."
Raye watched the giant ball of vile energy as it surged toward him, his brow furrowing beneath the visor of his helt.
"I can't believe these are the sa bastards that made everyone suffer so much."
He mumbled the words to himself.
Then, with both of his swords suddenly erupting in a roar of intense flas— SLASH—!
He swung his blades in a wide horizontal arc and sliced the massive ball of energy clean in half.
The dark power dissipated into thin air instantly, scattering harmlessly throughout the area.
The worshippers were frozen in total shock at the sight. It was in that mont they realized the truth; they didn't stand a single chance of winning a fight against Raye.
"PROTECT !"
The woman worshipper shrieked the mont she understood the gap in their power.
And as if they were possessed by a singular, frantic will— the four n imdiately moved to form a human shield in front of her.
"There's no need to line up, I'm going to kill every last one of you anyway."
Raye said coldly, and then— BAM!
He kicked off the ground with explosive speed and rushed straight at the group.
TING—!
He brought his sword down in a powerful vertical strike, but his attack was caught by a barrier of demonic energy generated by the four n. They were pouring all of their collective strength into the shield just to stay on par with Raye's physical pressure.
'I guess they are still demon worshippers, though it seems they only have access to low-ranking ones.'
Raye thought as he observed their struggle.
He began pouring even more mana into [Nyx]— FSSSSSSHHHOOO~!!!
And with a surge of power, he slashed right through the dark barrier the four n had created.
"GET AWAY FROM US, YOU MONSTER!"
FWOOSH!
One of the n pulled out a hidden dagger and thrust it desperately toward the opening Raye had made, aiming directly for his head.
But unfortunately for him— TINK!
The man simply wasn't strong enough to pierce through the divine protection of Raye's special armor; his dagger just bounced harmlessly off the helt and to the side.
And before the man could even process what had happened— PHUCK!
The [Imperial Edge] was lunged straight through his stomach, the blade piercing all the way through to his back.
And maybe to ensure the man wouldn't survive for even a second longer— FWAAAASAA—!!!
Raye made his sword roar with a sudden burst of fla, incinerating the man's entire existence from the inside out!
"...!!!"
The three remaining n watched their kind turn to ash, and the realization finally sank in that they were completely dood. They were drenched in sweat and shaking with fear, knowing they couldn't win, but yet— they still tried to fight.
"GAAAAHHHH!!!"
"HAAAAAA!!!"
"JUST FUCKING DIEEE!!!"
They threw themselves at Raye in a final, desperate attempt to stop him.
Raye looked at the incoming attackers, and with his lips parting—
"[Cleave]"
He muttered the na of the special skill he had learned from Zephyrus.
S L A S H—!!!
Countless sharp [Wind Blades] were generated from his two swords, flying out in every direction and cutting through everything in their path.
And because the three worshippers were so close to Raye when he activated the skill— THUD!
They were caught right in the middle of the storm.
Their bodies were shredded instantly; blood splashed against the walls and chunks of human flesh flew across the room. They were killed in an instant of extre pain, unable to even let out a final cry.
Raye had dealt with all five of the n in less than a single minute... it had been far too easy.
"..."
He stood in the middle of the carnage, feeling a wave of anger wash over him. These people were so weak, yet they had managed to kill so many and place a deadly curse on an entire village.
'These bastards are no different from the demons that invaded the Zion Academy. They all deserve a painful death.'
Raye thought, his expression remaining straight and cold.
He turned around, preparing to face the woman worshipper, who was now the only one left alive. But before he could take a step toward her—
"Please answer our call— O great Lust Clan and Greed Clan!"
He suddenly heard a high-pitched voice coming from behind him.
Raye spun around to the source of the sound, his eyes widening in alarm. He saw the woman kneeling on the ground as if she were deep in prayer.
The woman looked up at him with a crazed, fanatical look in her eyes.
"I offer my own life along with the lives of the others; please, bring chaos and destruction to this land!"
She chanted the dark words.
S W O O O O O O O S H—!!!
Then all the remaining demonic energy from the woman and the fallen worshippers suddenly surged out of their bodies! The force of the release was strong enough to create a small shockwave that rattled the tunnel.
Once the energy was gone— THUD!
The woman collapsed onto the ground, looking completely lifeless and as pale as a vampire.
Raye watched the scene unfold with a deep frown, quickly realizing the gravity of what she had done.
"I need to hurry to the adow right now!"
He declared out loud and imdiately turned to run out of the enemy's hidden base.
The woman worshipper just used her own life to hasten the demon summoning even more.
