Chapter 21: Extreme Darkness

On the main battlefield in Manhattan, there are three blurred figures fighting.

"Can a person still do this in the face of two demons of the Seven Sins?" said Matthew, swallowing his saliva, "This is the strength of the king, and I really can't think of any adjectives to describe it." ”

"Not true. Ender had been watching their battle from the sidelines, "William is just barely holding on right now, but in fact he's already at the bottom of his belt. ”

William's situation now is just as Ender said, even though he is a king, he is now only struggling to support the attacks of the two Seven Sins demons.

"Looks like you're tired after using the awakening. Mammon looked at William and smiled, "You are no longer able to do it, even if you are the king, it is impossible for you to continue fighting now." ”

William dodged the axe blow that Astarot slashed from the top of his head, his hair was completely tangled in sweat, his body was so tired that even dodging the attack began to be difficult.

Is it true that Mammon's devouring has sucked most of the power out of me?, William thought to himself, it was too careless, so that this battle would indeed become a bitter battle for me.

"Aren't you arrogant, bug!" laughed at the purple flame-blazing Astarot, "I really should praise you, after all, you almost killed me, but it's a pity that it's just a little bit." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" William wiped the sweat from his face, "The battle is not over yet, and the victory and defeat are not yet decided!"

"You know in your heart that you've lost. Mammon smiled and said, "Even if you don't use my full strength now, you can't defeat me, do you still expect to win?"

"How do you know if you don't try. William had an expression of unyielding defeat on his face, "I will always fight until the end of my life, and I will never give in to you!"

"It's a lot of backbone!" said Astarot, "and let me give you one last ride." ”

The axe in Astaroth's hand was once again swung high in the air, and William created a solid barrier out of sand in an instant, and the blade of the axe collided violently with the barrier, although William still wanted to insist, but in the end he could not maintain the barrier.

Astaroth's great axe pierced the barrier, and William dodged the blade, but before he could catch his breath, Mammon appeared silently behind him, and then sent him flying several meters with a single blow.

"Whew, whew. William, who got up from the ground, slowly adjusted his breathing, his strength was recovering, although it was still a little slow, but he could feel that his strength was indeed gradually recovering.

It seems that it will take some time to use the awakening, William carefully calculated in his mind, but the situation is really not good for me right now, it would be nice to have a few more minutes, so that my strength can be restored a little more.

"What's the matter, are you tired?" said Mammon, looking at William, "this is not the posture of a king, how about I ask you again, kneel before us, so that we can let you continue." ”

"I said it was your daydream. William stood up slowly, and now the power stored in his body was almost enough to enter an awakening state. "It's impossible to get me on my knees!"

When the time came, William shouted in his heart, and now was the moment to decide the final outcome of this battle.

"Let me show you once again the absolute power that belongs to the king! listen to my call, awaken, Holy Word: Demon Slayer Hell!"

In an instant, a huge whirlpool of quicksand appeared, and Mammon and Astarott were engulfed by the whirlpool in an instant, and their figures quickly disappeared completely in this quicksand, and William finally sat on the ground very tired after looking at the scene in front of him.

It's over. William gasped, it was time for everything to be over, the Demon Slayer Sand Prison would completely shatter their bodies, and it looked like I had won the battle.

"Hmm!" Almost as he thought this, William felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he lowered his head in pain, he could feel the power in his body being quickly sucked away by something.

"Is this!?" William tore open the clothes on his chest in one breath, and a large black mark appeared on his chest.

Due to William's physical condition, the quicksand whirlpool also stopped spinning, and Mammon and Astarott crawled out of the center of the whirlpool intact.

"It looks very uncomfortable. Mammon laughed, "It's not unlike what I expected, you can only wait to die now after being demonized. ”

Is this Mammon's demonization, Extreme Darkness?β€”William clutched his chest in pain, but when? I don't know when he activated his powers.

"When the hell did you activate your powers?" asked William, gasping as he turned to Mammon, "Answer me, Mammon!"

"Take a good look up. Mammon smiled and pointed to the sky, "You, who have always focused on the ground, I'm afraid you don't have the leisure to look at the sky." ”

"Is this!?" William looked at the sky in the direction of Mammon's finger, and what he saw made him harder to hide the surprise on his face.

At some point, a huge whirlpool appeared in the sky, and it seemed to be so still that almost no one noticed it in the dark night, but if you look closely, you can still see that the whirlpool really existed.

"The ability of the Darkest has already been activated. "It's just that you haven't seen it all along, but now it's too late to see it, and you're almost dead." ”

"No kidding!" William would never just admit defeat, he drove the power in his body to continue the attack, but now he couldn't feel the resonance with the power anyway.

"What's going on?" William looked at his hands in disbelief, "how could such a thing happen without feeling the presence of power?"

"It looks like you don't need your strength anymore. Mammon raised one of her hands as she spoke, "Then why don't you let me help you, your strength is indeed very good." ”

The sand quickly took shape in Mammon's hand, and soon a slender sand spear appeared in Mammon's hand, and Mammon fiddled with the sand spear in her hand as if she were interested.

"That's my power!?" William's face was full of consternation, "Why can you use my power, such a ridiculous thing is just-"

"It's not ridiculous. Mammon slammed the sand spear in his hand to the ground, "If the Darkest Power can create a huge vortex that can absorb his great power, as long as someone activates the ability within the range of the Vortex, then the Darkest Power will also activate at the same time. ”

"But that's not the darkest and scariest place. "You should be able to feel it now, what is the most frightening part of the darkness?"

"It's not just about taking away power. William finally understood the horror of the extreme darkness, "What's even more terrifying is that the power that has been taken away will eventually be absorbed by you, right!?"

"Very smart. Mammon couldn't help but praise, "It's faster than I thought I could understand, yes, as you said, your power is now mine." ”

I lost, and although I was extremely unwilling in my heart, William had to admit the fact that under Mammon's terrifying ability, he had no power to fight back now.

"Not good!" Ender realized how bad the situation really was, "now fire at the two of them at once, and stop them from attacking William no matter what!"

"Yes!" the soldiers immediately turned their guns on Mammon and Astaroth, but with a slight wave of Mammon's hand, all the soldiers with weapons fell to their knees screaming.

"What's wrong with you?" Matthew hurriedly ran up to check, and he was greeted by a terrifying sight.

The soldiers who fell to the ground in pain had large black marks on their faces and bodies, they were wailing in pain and their bodies were drying up rapidly, but in just a few minutes, all the soldiers with black marks on their bodies stopped breathing.

"Impossible, hey, everyone wake up!" Matthew was completely unable to face the cruel reality in front of him, and the lives that were still alive just now disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"What did you do!?" asked William angrily.

"Did the same thing that was done to you. Mammon looked at William mockingly, "It's just a little faster, so they lose a lot of time faster than you." ”

"You took their lives. William reacted immediately, "This is also an extremely dark ability, not only to take away the power of others, but also to absorb life!?"

"Yes, that's a very dark power. Mammon said, "Those of you who can use the Word will be robbed of their power and then their lives, and the common people will be killed at once." ”

"How so?" Matthew could feel his hands trembling, "We're like ants, and we'll die instantly if he waves his hand?"

"Now I realize that I'm just a little bug?" Astarot sneered, "Yes, you humans are bugs, and there is no chance of winning in front of us!"

Now that the surviving soldiers on the battlefield have witnessed what has just happened, fear has filled their hearts, and Mammon will die with a slight wave of his hand, who can not feel hopeless in the face of such a situation?

There was no way to win, and such ideas began to appear. Both Commander Ender and King William were defeated, and with the overwhelming strength of the two Seven Sins Demons, humanity had only one way to go, destruction.

"Don't be afraid, soldiers!" Ender dragged his badly wounded body to his feet, "Don't show that desperate look, haven't we fought to the death from the beginning?"

In the silence of the battlefield, only Ande's voice echoed: "Even if you die, you have to fight and die, don't let those self-righteous guys laugh at our human will, show your courage, follow me!"

Ander activated his ability regardless of his current physical condition, it seems that today is the day I died in battle, Ander couldn't help laughing, but I didn't feel remorseful, but I felt my blood boiling for this last battle!

"You heard what the Commander said. Matthew looked at the soldiers very calmly and said, "Those who still have courage come with us, we will all die today, but I choose to fight to the death!"

"Me too, Chief of Staff Matthew!" shouted one of the soldiers as he took a step forward, "even if the demons laugh at our weakness, I still choose to fight. ”

"Add me one!" "It's okay anymore, please let me join in!" "Let those demons laugh louder, we humans will never be as weak as they think, we will fight!"

"Fight to the death! We will fight to the death as human beings!" finally the loud voices of the soldiers shouted, and everyone was ready to die, and this battle was destined to be the last battle of their lives.

"It's my pleasure to fight alongside you!" Ander shouted as he turned to the soldiers behind him, "Let's get together again in another world!

"Interesting, aren't you even afraid of death?" Looking at the fearless soldiers in front of her, the corners of Mammon's mouth curled slightly. "Since you want to die so much, then I will satisfy you, and this will be your eternal graveyard!"
