Chapter 202: Iscariot's Descendants 4

“Keuk…! You really have a knack for underhanded schemes and attacks!” Amon shouted as he stared at Woohyuk and took on a defensive position.

As the 7th Ranked Demon, he could continue fighting within the constraints presented by the Black Demolition field, but he felt that he’d reach his skill limits too quickly and ultimately lose if he continued onward.

As Amon raised his trident to shatter the Black Demolition restriction, Woohyuk quickly used Lilith’s Unholy Chalice.

Swaaa!

Lilith’s Unholy Chalice sucked in Woohyuk’s demonic magic power and created a pitch-black orb wrapped in a spiral vortex.

Once it was created, the jet-black sphere flew towards Amon with blazing speed…

Kwajijijijijijijiji!

Amon urgently raised his defensive force field guard. The sphere crashed into his guard and caused a huge crack in his force field.

“Keuk…!” moaned Amon before trying to teleport away.

Though he didn’t know for sure, he had judged that the pitch-black sphere in front of him was inherently dangerous to him.

However, the Six Demon Kings did not leave him alone.

“Where are you trying to run?”

“Weren’t you spewing out nonsense just a few moments earlier?!”

“We’ll make you pay the price for looking down on us!”

The Absorber Trigger and Lilith’s Unholy Chalice weakened the power of Amon’s ultimate ability, God Death.

When the six Demon Kings attacked with their specialized abilities from all sides,

Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwak!

With a loud explosion, Amon’s barrier collapsed, and he was soon engulfed in flames.

The jet-black sphere expanded at the same time his defenses shattered and swallowed Amon at once!

Amon was like a mouse caught in a trap.

“You guys! What the hell have you done…!” shrieked Amon.

“You have to use your head to hunt a demon,” Woohyuk calmly replied while putting away both of the artifacts in his hands and summoning Verserios.

As he flew into the air and tried to stab Amon’s heart with Verserios,

Kwajijijijijijijiji!

The jet-black sphere that contained Amon broke, allowing him to move freely once again.

Though Woohyuk’s ability had developed by leaps and bounds, it was still not enough for him to be able to completely restrain the 7th Ranked Demon King for a prolonged period of time.

“You dared to try and overwhelm me! I’ll show you the true power gap between us!”

Afterwards, the unique weapons of both sides intensely clashed!

As a result of this clash, the space and time of the surroundings started to warp and waver in distortion.

Wheeahahahahahah!

At the impact point, a strong wind blew outward, creating a high-pitched dissonance with a black hole at its center.

After this initial clash, the six demon kings started participating in the battle again.

“Amon isn’t giving in easily, is he?”

“But it doesn’t seem like he’ll be able to last long, right?”

“The black current in this barrier will continue to rob his demonic energy!”

The six demon kings were not affected by Black Demolition because Woohyuk applied a protective barrier for them with the Absorber Trigger in advance.

In addition, it seemed that Amon was greatly influenced by Lilith’s Unholy Chalice, as his use of abilities seemed limited.

Amon, feeling that he was at a disadvantage, gritted his teeth and summoned his close associates.

“Belgos! Amelin! Break this barrier with the others from the outside! Take down the barrier no matter what!”

“Yes, Amon!”

“We will perform as directed!”

The two high-ranking demons, who were fighting with Woohyuk’s other party members on the ground, flew into the air.

Afterwards, they chanted a spell together and opened a large magic circle…

Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa-Kwang!

A pitch-black Demonic Dragon reared its head from the magic circle and fired a Dark Breath toward the spherical Black Demolition barrier.

At the same time, the earth shook!

In the aftermath of the attack, a shockwave reverberated outwards from the point of contact, creating a black storm that flattened the buildings and trees on the ground.

Black magic was a truly powerful power. However, Black Demolition’s spherical barrier withstood without a scratch.

This was because Amon’s demonic magic had already been absorbed to a considerable level, which fed into the Black Demolition barrier. The durability of the barrier had already reached an epic strength level.

“Don’t ignore us! Your opponent is us!”

"Right! It’s difficult for us to save face if only you guys cause such a big uproar!”

When the two summoned demons tried to attack the barrier again, Brynhildr and Helena, who had caught up to the flying demons, stopped their next attack with divine magic.

Hildegard and Roan also contributed with their own spells and attacks.

Meanwhile, Sieg was dealing with the other demons summoned by Amon by himself.

“Oh my… this is really a mess,” sighed Altair while watching what was unfolding on the battlefield from afar.

He had created a disruptive field barrier around the entire village and all those around him. No one would be able to go in or out of this barrier, nor would anyone outside be able to see what was going on inside. He was waiting for the battle to conclude.

At any time, he could have intervened in the battle, but he decided to stick to the role Woohyuk requested of him.

“By the way, that guy is really strong,” muttered Altair under his breath.

Woohyuk was driving Amon, the 7th Ranked Demon King, into a corner without much difficulty.

Altair couldn’t help but admire Woohyuk’s ability, as it would probably take all nine leaders of the Dragon tribes to even contend with Amon, let alone defeat him.

“But no matter how great his ability, it’ll be difficult for him to continue controlling the power of a demon with a human body.”

Altair thought that if Woohyuk had to repeatedly use his powers in this way, someday, he would lose control of the demonic power and allow the energy to overpower and consume him.

Altair could already foresee that his true assistance would come when Woohyuk entered this inevitable state in the future.

It was not only something that had to be done to pay off his debt, but for the continuation of this world.

As his silky silver hair fluttered in the wind, Altair stared at the far off Woohyuk with sunken eyes.

He was currently struggling with the six Demon Kings to defeat Amon.

“Astaroth, Amon’s lost some of his power, so make a gap. The other Demon Kings will cover you from behind.”

“Okay.”

At Woohyuk’s instructions, Astaroth rushed at Amon while wielding his two-handed sword, Regius. At the same time, he summoned a group of blood-sucking vampires from Regius.

Seeing this, Amon laughed as if the attack was something petty.

“Do you think you can defeat me with half of Nosferatu’s power? It’s been a long time since he's been killed by the God of Light!”

Even if Nosferatu came back alive, there wasn’t much Amon would be afraid of.

Nosferatu’s blood absorption abilities were powerful, but it also consumed that much blood from the caster.

In short, it was possible to kill vampires in a prolonged battle if one avoided fatal confrontation and just elongated the time of the battle.

Of course, he wasn’t even dealing with Nosferatu at the moment.

Ahhhhhh!

When Amon swung his trident, the summoned vampires were slashed into two and lost their shape.

At that time, the black hole in the air disappeared, and a series of system messages appeared before Amon’s eyes.

[God Death, an exclusive Demon skill, has been blocked for 10 minutes by Astaroth’s unique weapon, Regius.]

[Please note that Astaroth can use God Death during the period it is absorbed by his unique weapon.]

‘What is this?!’

A mere 29th Ranked Demon King had put a restriction on Amon…!

It was something that defied common sense.

‘Is it because of this Black Demolition barrier?’

At first, Amon tried to destroy it with God Death, but rather than being destroyed, his magic was absorbed by the black currents that made up the barrier.

The development of events was so weird and defied all common sense that Amon, who had existed for a long time, couldn’t fathom what was going on.

As he was attacked by Astaroth, he immediately thought of Aleister.

‘He’s the only one who can make this.’

He was an alchemist who always hid underneath the safety of Lilith’s skirt and brought on perilous havoc to the world.

It would be difficult to continue calling him a human anymore. He also headed the Witch Religion.

As Amon started to belatedly regret his decision of not taking action against Aleister before,

“You finally got caught,” Woohyuk’s cold voice came from behind him.

As planned, he had entered into Amon’s personal space from the gap created by the Demon Kings.

Amon hurriedly tried to escape with all sorts of magic spells, but it was too late.

Poo-Ook!

Verserios ravenously sucked up demonic energy as it pierced through Amon’s shoulder.

At the same time, Amon was consumed by terrible pain!

He felt his vision lose focus.

“Heuk…!”

Even though he was vigilant, Amon had lost out completely to Woohyuk. This meant that the other person had overwhelming power.

Woohyuk had been hiding his power until now just to take advantage of this moment.

‘It was successful.’

Using the Nocturne of the Hidden Crescent, an S-class artifact, Woohyuk was able to save up to five magic spells that were used against him in the past.

So, he had pre-filled the slots with useful spells before coming here.

One of them was the Deception of the Earth God, Helena’s stealth magic.

In other words, the reason Amon didn’t notice Woohyuk’s movement was because he was using divine magic, something a demon wouldn’t consider another demon using.

Unlike other divine magic, the Deception of the Earth God did not cause much harm to the demons, so Woohyuk could also use the spell.

It was also superior to the Banshee Queen’s Cloak in stealth ability.

“Easily… I will not go down so easily!”

Even though he was pierced by Verserios and having his demonic energy sucked out of him, Amon moved desperately to resist.

Woohyuk, who saw Amon trying to make his last stand, turned to the six Demon Kings who were awaiting his orders.

“You guys also help. This guy can only be sealed with more power.”

“Yes, Asura.”

“Then I will start the torture process.”

Each of the six Demon Kings carried specialized tools for interrogating prisoners in the Demon World.

A pharynx that had been enwrapped in stigmata runes.

A whip of thorns with purple flames.

Crocodile shears used to turn opponents into sexless eunuchs.

A torture wheel to bind prisoners.

Cat’s claws that separated the prisoner’s bones from flesh.

A head squeezing contraption that caused painful headaches just by turning the handle.

Considering their effects, the tools were quite inhumane.

Soon the torture began, and Amon screamed in pain.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Though he was the 7th Ranked Demon King, there was no way for him to avoid the punishment inflicted on his physical being.

After severe torture, Amon eventually lost consciousness, and a series of system messages appeared in front of Woohyuk’s eyes.

[The Demon King Amon was sealed in Remegeton.]

[All of Amon’s forces are forcibly returned to the Demon Realm.]

The battle, which was threatening to expand on a large scale, safely ended.

Woohyuk lifted the Black Demolition barrier after exhaling a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, it went as planned.”

“What are you going to do now? Knowing that Amon is sealed, the other Demon Kings won’t stand still,”

Dantalion said with an expression of concern.

Currently, many Demon Kings in the western part of the Eeth Continent were forming a united front with Alice the Thorn Queen in the northern Enoa Kingdom.

Of course, the lower ranked Demon Kings were relatively weak, but it would be a different story if they were united and combined their attack power.

If they noticed Woohyuk’s movements and took precautions, his plan to prevent the First Great Disaster (or First Catastrophe) could go wrong.

In addition, there was even the Holy Pope, who could now be called an internal enemy, to contend with, so taking adequate precautions and camouflage was needed.

“I think the credit for defeating Amon should be given to that Paladin,” Woohyuk said as he looked down at Hildegard, who was escorting Mary from off the ground.

A person with a reputation like Hildegard’s would not bring public suspicion even if she claimed that she defeated the 7thRanked Demon King.

At least, he could avoid the intensive surveillance of the Holy Pope by placing the battle’s success onto someone else.

The other Demon Kings may also be confused, but they wouldn’t easily notice that Woohyuk’s party had intervened in this case.

Furthermore, one wouldn’t think a Paladin of the Holy Apheria Empire would lie publicly.

When the rough plan was decided, Woohyuk re-summoned the Demon Kings and went down to Saintess Mary.

Her help was absolutely necessary to prevent any future tragedy.
