And lo and behold, the price skyrocketed way past 1 billion and to a collective 1.6 billion gold. It was an insane price that many had to team up for even to et the requirents. This event was just that fucking big that enemies had to truce for now, and allies tead up together and spent their collective bank on this.
"You aren't going to join in?" Aisa tapped her foot rapidly against the ground. "It's getting juicy, so you should just announce another one billion or sothing… you have that, right?"
"Who do you think I am? I'm not going into debt for that thing… but I will acquire it later. We'll have so fun after this show," I smiled, allowing Aisa to rest easy as she sunk back into her chair and closed her eyes. She was utterly unamused by the skirmishes and argunts imdiately bursting out in the hall.
Beezlebub generally reacted the sa, bored by the reaction of the people, and just left the stage, nowhere to be seen again, as he entered a swirling dark portal. Maybe he was going to visit Cy… nah, he would never do such a kind thing for sobody as lowly as Cy. That man is way too arrogant to care about his little host or whatever.
As soon as the woman and her horns had been sold, I looked down at the stage to catch one last glimpse of this arch-demon who had fallen from her demonic grace. Despite being freed from her cage, she just sat there, her mind seemingly going blank as she continuously muttered a few words over and over again. They were in a different language I was unfamiliar with, but it was clear to hear she was unwell.
"Alright, let's. We have to prepare a higher position… also, split so of that living flesh with . We'll go double snipers," I muttered, getting up from my seat and exiting the theater as chaos ensued. The demon lord had left, so now the winner of this powerful woman was bombarded by attacks from each and every angle.
The rchant who created this whole thing broke the skirmish up, but with much effort, because people even began to take out hidden weapons and use skills. They were powerful, extrely powerful, but nothing the rchant couldn't handle.
Soon, I arrived backstage, where I picked up my item and imdiately left. Most of the attention was probably drawn away from due to everybody focusing on the winner of the empress, but at least I knew a few people who would co. Throughout the entire ti, eyes dug into my skull, even during the reveal of the Empress.
As I stepped outside, I saw the glint of a sniper scope imdiately track , but I just continued walking. This was Aisa, and she was ready to protect from any unwanted threats that could fuck up. I needed this evolutionary material, but what would be nice while I'm defending myself is to create a few connections because wherever I go, I'm always creating new enemies. It would be nice once in a while to have sobody I could trust.
It might have been obvious to most people that I was laying a trap, but the demons blinded by greed who continued to follow as I walked down an abandoned street were oblivious to this fact. Even as I walked further and further into the slums, feeling the eyes of at least ten demons follow , they didn't question a single mont.
And then, as soon as I arrived at a pretty open place, I turned around seeing three groups. Three demons with long white hair, three demons with long blue hair, and four demons with short strawberry blonde hair.
"Hmmm… This is a good spot that you picked. And that sniper of yours… don't worry, we took quick work of her. In fact, she's probably being slaughtered as we speak," One of the white-haired demons smirked, only to see smile right back at him. "Oh? Do you think your little sniper friend will survive?"
"Why don't you find out?" I muttered before giving the signal: a simple crack of my neck. And just like that, the head of that demon had flown off of his body, his neck not even realizing it was damaged as it refused to spew blood. Eventually, it did begin to leak, but only because of the force of gravity from which his headless body toppled forward from.
Everybody began to sweat, especially the white-haired demons who glanced over at the rest of the assailants. He looked as if he wanted to say sothing, most likely wanting to form so kind of pact to kill and Aisa. But the demons beside him were way too prideful. People like them fed on the fact that they could overwhelm with their own individual strength, so… they retreated. The white-haired demons decided to just straight up retreat, their tails tucked beneath their legs as they ran as fast they could.
BAM BAM
Unfortunately, the second shot missed one, just barely grazing his neck. Whether it was a fatal blow or not was up to debate, but I do know that one of them had their head completely eradicated. He wasn't nearly as strong as the first demon was decapitated… but with a weaker opponent, this Hecate she was most likely using could eradicate flesh with its burning and sharp bullets.
"This is your chance to retreat now. I can always give her the signal to let you go…" I smiled, feeling the slly flesh begin to wrap around my arm and hand, forming a long barrel that was ready to take the first move.
But, contrary to my opinion, from which I thought they would actually retreat as this was just such a petty fight… the blue-haired demons dashed forward, their deep red eyes locking onto while I whipped out the sniper barrel I had ford.
BAM
I missed, but in the end, just shook off the living flesh and summoned my spear. It crashed right in front of , stopping the middle one from initiating their three-pronged attack. They all ca dashing head-on, but each one took a position to the left, middle, and right, clearly intending to overwhelm .
"Let's try this out," I muttered, grabbing my spear and analyzing the position of the enemies in front of and the enemies sitting all the way back, watching. Clearly, they were waiting for the right mont to strike. "[Blood Buff]."
BOOOOOOOOOM
My body exploded with a nuclear amount of blood-red aura. My bloodlust was slowly being fused with this aura, lding together and creating sothing so strong that it controlled my limbs like I was nothing more than a doll. My bloodlust was the marionette, twitching the strings attached to , the puppet that swung once.
From an outside perspective, it looked like I had swung once, cutting the middle demon's body in half, but in reality, I had swung five tis in a fraction of a second. His body was imdiately diced up whilst my body instinctively reacted to the pincer attack from each side.
"[Demon Splitter]," my body muttered on its own, and with a long horizontal swing of just this blood-red spear that I gripped with the force of a thousand mountains, I split not only the demons beside but also the buildings around . I had leveled the entire field in just a fraction of a second.
Both of my eyes glowed brightly whilst a feeling of excitent crept up from the deepest parts of my body. I couldn't stop smiling as this blood-red aura around only began to expand, mingling with my spear and becoming partners with it.
FWOOSH… SHING
The remaining demons with strawberry blonde hair had run towards . From their analysis, they seriously thought they could take . So I quickly showed them my overwhelming power as my muscles and tendons creaked with absolute power.
My aura exploded out, causing the demons to freeze in place, and as I took a step toward them, their faces paled at the sight of a red halo circling around my head. I felt good. Really good. To the point where I couldn't help but test out this newest attack I had received.
"[Heaven Splitter]," I muttered, and with the enhancent of the blood buff, my muscles bulged to twice their size before constricting down. All of the power condensed down into my legs which then traveled up my torso and dispersed into my arms. And with a deafening swing that seemingly tore through the fabric of space and ti, I vertically swung downwards.
Reality around flashed a bright white light into my face. The demons in front of paled at the terror of this attack. The blade may not have swung into them, but the remaining power that traveled around it began to disintegrate their attack. And with the explosion of a mushroom cloud that engulfed part of the dry area of the city, a sound was finally released into the atmosphere.
VWOOM… BOOOOOOOM
