Chapter 298: Demon Punishment and Flame

"Cassiem, the master! Don't do it! ”

The demon that lodged in the giant's body sensed Cassiem's determination, and it immediately became alarmed: "If you take that step, you won't be able to turn back—"

"Long-winded."

Kasiem glared at the scarlet eyes, reached into his chest, and grabbed the slender demon wrapped in smoke and simmering flames.

- That's the Smoke Demon, the demon who controls concepts like fire.

It is not a superior demon, but a lower demon that Cassiem had contracted with him when he first became a demon scholar.

Cassiem is not the kind of person who is gifted, but the type who has acquired the power of the path by relying on a sufficiently extreme and radical will. He was already dissatisfied with his natal demon...... But he couldn't help it.

Once he becomes a demon incarnation, he leaves his own body and becomes a demon, and he can never change back. And the more this is the case, the more he is full of resentment towards the smoke demon.

- If you're a high-ranking demon like the Shadow Demon, Fire Demon, and Dream Demon, it won't hold me back.

"Isn't it because you're too weak that I have to take this step?"

Cassiem's eyes were scarlet and purple, and the almost transparent flames made his eyes look so eerie.

After stepping into the fourth energy level, he can summon more powerful demons, and even high-ranking demons.

Because the last step of the demon avatar hatching from the shell can cut off all the contracts he has signed in the past. No matter how harsh the contract is, as long as it is not fulfilled, it is tantamount to prostitution. He could now give up the contract at any time, and the smoke demon would leave him...... But he also had another option.

- The giant grabbed the smoke demon, put it in his mouth, and chewed it vigorously.

Thick smoke and flames spilled out of his mouth, and a layer of flame gradually ignited all over his body. This allowed him to weaken the unknown phantom's attacks slightly, making it easier for him to complete the transformation ritual.

The clouds gathered as if they were fast-forwarding, and a storm came without warning.

A wild storm swept across the land, and it took only a few seconds for the torrential rain to go from nothing to nothing, from existence to pour, and finally the torrential rain washed down—

Heavy rains of this magnitude were enough to extinguish forest fires. However, it has little to no effect on the Flame Butterfly.

She still flew proudly in the air, spreading her wings widely.

She knew what the giant had done, but she hadn't intended to attack him in the first place.

Like a demon god who brought about the end of the world, under the orders of Ivus, she did not care about the violent consumption of her mana, and used her strongest ability to squander her mana as soon as she entered the battle. The slender, scorching lasers were like the judgment of the gods, cutting one mark after another on the ground, sweeping the lineup of those demonic scholars to pieces.

Burning corpses, rotten flesh, charred marks on corpses cut in two...... And those demons that are gradually dissipating.

They basically didn't have any power to fight back, so they could only flee in embarrassment by their own abilities, and as soon as they fled, the formation was directly chaotic. Under the torrential rain, the field of vision became even narrower, and there were even people who collided with people without looking at the road, and then were cut into four pieces by two intersecting lasers.

Those spells were basically only a slight suppression of the Flame Butterfly, allowing her to maneuver to reduce the frequency of her attacks. But she was too flexible, and several ritual-copied spells were ineffective against her, and she was completely resisted.

The Flame Butterfly, which had been fed to level 38 by Aihuas by shepherding, was already approaching the peak of the fourth energy level.

Although there is still no jump in energy level, under the personality bonus of the upper phantom demon, at least if the giant does not reveal the true body of the demon, it will definitely not be able to suppress her energy level. And low-level spells are already hard to take effect on her.

And the demon avatar wants to complete the final step of incubation, although it will soon be ...... But it's not instantaneous.

In the time gap between him and the battle, Ivus was able to manipulate the Flame Butterfly and prioritize the removal of the miscellaneous soldiers.

When fighting the boss, bring or not miscellaneous soldiers, which is a completely different difficulty. In particular, these demonic scholars are well-versed in rituals and curses, and if they are given enough time, they can easily cause very big trouble.

Ivas took them very seriously—even more than the high-ranking demon that the giant was about to transform.

As a result, Flamebutterfly's attacks were basically not aimed at the giant, but instead kept strafing the fragile demon scholars.

And that giant, isn't he using those demon scholars to buy time so that he has enough time to complete the transformation?

At this moment, a thunderbolt fell!

The lightning slammed into Cassiem's body, and his body suddenly cracked in the lightning!

Born in the furious thunder, it was a newborn high-ranking demon-

Hideous as a ghost, but also like a lion's fierce face, the whole body is covered in pitch-black matte scale armor, slightly hunched more than two meters tall strong body, and behind him there is a pair of bat-like black flesh wings. His legs were strong, like a crocodile and a turtle.

It held an electric halberd in its right hand, while in its left it carried a silver metal chain with sharp barbs.

- This is a punishment!

Ivus immediately recognized the other party's identity.

Just as the Fire Demon has the power to give the Path, the Shadow Demon is related to the shadow realm of the Path of Love...... The Demon Punishment is a high-ranking demon who has mastered the power of authority, and has the mark of the great sin of "greed".

They are the direct demons of the Fallen Heavens, who wield the power of crime and punishment, and will punish sinners with thunder.

The greater the sin on the body, the greater the damage caused by their lightning strikes. Therefore, they have a strong suppressive power over the demons themselves.

Those who were killed by lightning in broad daylight were targeted by the Punishment Demon.

But it is not a messenger of justice, but will actively seek out sinners and blackmail them—demanding that they obey them and provide them with soul and flesh. And their appetite will grow, and if they do not comply, they will bind the sinner's body with barbed chains and drag it to make his flesh blurred.

Unlike the higher-ranking demons who act alone, the Punishment Demon usually raises a group of mortal minions. They must be completely obedient in their actions, or they will be punished by chains or electric shocks - but if they are truly loyal to the Punishment from the heart, then the Punishment will be content to eat their souls. Therefore, the sinner who is targeted by the demon of punishment must always be rebellious and hateful.

- This is terrible!

Evas's heart sank.

Punishment is a demon who is well-versed in civil warfare. Moreover, as a beast of great sin, the Butterfly of Flame has been branded with a great sin...... A special attack that can eat full of punishments......

I saw the Demon Punish throw the chain in his hand—it flew out and disappeared into the void, and then multiple portals condensed around the Flame Butterfly. Those chains emerge from them, instantly binding the Flame Butterfly that can't be dodged!

The thunder light formed a cocoon of seals, enveloping her directly in midair.

Immediately afterward, the Demon Punishment roared angrily and issued an order in an unknown language.

The demonic scholars, who were either crippled or embarrassed, suddenly flashed with a crackling electric light and wailed under the torrential rain.

But their bodies moved on their own—

They aligned themselves with the house where Ivus was and performed the final ritual spell.

- Self-sacrifice.

Their livers, gallbladders, hearts, spine, and skin burned with purple flames, and the runes representing sacrifice slowly imprinted on their bodies, and their organs disappeared one by one, but their bodies did not die immediately.

Under the control of the demons, they forced themselves to sacrifice. Throw your life into the Great Spell of Demon Punishing.

The Demon Punishment couldn't control the Flame Butterfly for too long...... And he didn't know how many hole cards the Flame Butterfly still had, so he chose to attack the summoner of the Flame Butterfly directly.

- This kind of power must be the Book of Law!

Shadow Demon turned into a hound, and stood in front of Ivus in a serious way—it realized that it was an impossible blow to stop.

"Take me there, Aihuath!"

The Shadow Demon's voice rang in Aihuas's head quickly, "We have to attack the Demon Punishment directly!" ”

This is a real superior demon, and Shadow Fiend has never been good at defense. Not to mention that Aihuas's shadow affinity level was not enough, and it couldn't fully devote its power to Aihuas.

If she had given Lily all the power, she might be able to block the blow - but she would be in danger herself.

So Shadow Fiend decided to strike first.

Accumulate strength, and attack the enemy to save -

"—No."

Ivus whispered.

He stared solemnly at the Punishment, a card appearing between his fingers.

That's a spell card, the Cloak of Shadows.

[Spell: Cloak of Shadow (Moon)]

[Necessary: Dark 1]

[Immediate, non-contact, effective immediately]

[Effect: Knocks back all nearby targets, instantly lifts the seal, freeze, burn, bind, and petrify you are suffering, and enters a completely invisible state for one minute (+30%).] When your invisibility is broken, this effect inflicts a curse on all hostile targets in Sight, equivalent to the "Blind Curse"]

It can also attach to minions!

Ivus raised his left hand, and the red card of the Flame Butterfly appeared in it.

He overlaps the two cards, infuses mana and activates.

"—Shadow Cloak!"

I saw a thick shadow burst out from the electric ball in the air.

A roaring black storm poured out of the bound Flame Butterfly, like a black ball emerging from the sky.

"-Gone?"

The Demon Punishment looked up in amazement, only to find that the Flame Butterfly had disappeared directly into thin air.

But it soon realized that something was wrong-

An incomparably brilliant golden-red ring of divine fire erupted from the sky, evaporating the rain curtain directly above the sky. The strong purifying power makes the sky at dusk look like another midday sun, illuminating the ground like day.

That's the Flames!

【Reverse Summon: Flame Butterfly】

[Necessary: Fire 5]

[Maintenance: Fire 5 * Daily]

[Action, Summoning, Singing]

[Effect: Summons the Beast of Sloth, Flame Butterfly to fight for you, and the Flame Butterfly is regarded as a summon; In a non-combat state, the Beast of Sloth: Flame Butterfly can turn into a Flame Butterfly and enter the following state; Only one Beast of Sin can exist at a time]

[Effect: Use it again, command the Flame Butterfly to respawn or self-detonate]

The Flame Butterfly can be summoned once a day, and can command her to respawn once or blow herself up.

If you choose to self-destruct, you can't be reborn on this day. It is equivalent to until the sun rises tomorrow, and the summon of the Flame Butterfly will enter a gray unsummonable state.

But now it's dusk—

Ivus looked up, squinting at the clouds.

- The giant would never have realized what the storm he had summoned himself meant.

Now, Ivas only needs to delay for a little longer!

Hold on a little longer, and the King of the Wild Hunt is coming!

"Blow yourself up, Flame Butterfly!"

Ivas ordered.

The next moment, the Flame Butterfly, whose mana was depleted by the use of [Doom Ray] and whose life was on the verge of depletion due to the use of [Radiant Fire], turned into a burning meteor from the sky with her strongest panel, and fell towards the Demon Punishment who was channeling unknown spells.

Ivus grabbed the Shadow Fiend and pressed it back into his shadow.

He then turned his back and fell to his stomach, using his body to leave a shadow for Lily and the Shadow Fiend.

Then, a brilliant brilliance burst out from behind him—

Update complete!
