NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1179 The 12th Demon Prince, Focalor
-----
Bael had finally been slain by Elayne, and everyone was finally given some time to rest. The Underworld Gates were all closed, and there was no longer any more Undead lingering around.
The rescued people began to evacuate as well, as the demonic barrier domain around the arena had almost completely broken open, falling apart.
The people ran away, most of them survived, but several had also died from all the destruction the undead, and above all, those possessed by the demons had caused.
Although they were dealt with, the scars left behind by them would remain forever in this Kingdom…
"Thank you for everything Planta…" Camilla sighed in relief.
The Queen of the Luminous Kingdom faced Planta, smiling with relief as she saw the world around her finally calm down, despite all the loses, her family and her loved ones were still alive, at the very least.
Elayne smiled slightly, about to respond to her before Camilla were to say another few words, she had a lot to say…
"And-"
"Elayne! It's not over yet! Watch out! In the skies!"
Yet Planta was startled, the voice of the Great Spirit screaming to her.
Something was wrong, very wrong!
Elayne's eyes widened as she noticed something.
A huge black egg in the skies.
BA DUM!
BA DUM!
BA DUM!
Inside, the heartbeat of something was beginning to accelerate.
Crack, crack…!
And cracks started to appear on its eggshell.
CRACK!
Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on the giant, ten-meter-big egg floating in the sky.
It had been there this entire time, yet everyone just recently realized it was there!
Some sort of invisibility veil was placed on it, and when the demonic domain trapping everyone in the arena was gone.
It could finally be seen.
The black egg exuded a tremendous quantity of darkness and demonic energy.
And as it gained more and more cracks, they could feel the energy inside leaking out.
Crack, crack…!
CRACK!
And whatever was inside, wanted to get out, exuding such a dreadful presence that even Planta felt a chill down her spine.
"W-What… is that?"
Elena was the first to ask as everyone had just fallen silent I disbelief.
"Planta! Destroy it quickly! That's a Demon Egg! It's going to give birth to a powerful demon using all the energy the demonic domain had accumulated!"
The Great Spirit warned Planta…
Crack, crack…!
But it was too late.
CRASH!
The eggshell broke, slowly, something tore it apart, and that something emerged from within. It had the shape of a young man, slender and almost anorexic in appearance.
It had purple skin and six horns coming from its head, they were small and pointy, forming something resembling a crown of horns.
It had long dark blue hair, and seven crimson eyes, one was in the middle of its head, while the other six were placed around it.
The lower body was that of a black-feathered gryphon, with sharp claws and long wings spreading out still looking weak and young.
It had a long tail in the shape of a snake, and the rest of its body was encompassed in an ever-growing aura of winds… and water.
[The [Demonic Egg] has successfully hatched and the [12th Demon Prince, Focalor: Lv350] has been born.]
[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! A {Superior Demonic Boss Monster} has appeared within the city of Luminous Kingdom!]
[To all Players present, please slay the boss to protect the city! Any damage contributed to the cause will be calculated after the boss is slain, and rewards will be plentifully given.]
There was even a warning from the system itself, something nobody had ever seen before until now! Without a doubt, this demon, this thing…
Was much stronger than the three other Demons that had appeared here!
"Hungry… souls… give me your souls…"
His presence and pressure alone made everyone feel completely paralyzed, Elayne saw as it pointed its hands towards them and the other people running away from the arena.
"No…! Wait… WAIT!"
Planta screamed as she tried to fight back this tremendous force trying to push her down as if she were nothing than an insect.
"W-What's happening?!"
"Huh? Is that a…!"
"Uuuaaaggh!"
The people started to scream as they suddenly fell to the ground one after another, suddenly their souls were absorbed by the demon directly, killing them instantly.
The souls flew towards Focalor, as he began eating them one after another, almost as if it were a starving child that wanted to drink the milk of its mother.
But there was no mother, so its milk, its first meal, were the souls of innocents.
"More… hungry…!"
"NOOO! STOP!"
Elayne couldn't take it anymore as she saw dozens of people suddenly die on the spot, her powers blazing through her body as she absorbed the essence of her Domain around her.
She forcefully transformed once more into her three-headed heavenly Yggdragon form once more, shaking her surroundings and unleashing her powerful divinity.
The Domain around shook, turning into gigantic hands and arms made of stone, wood, and spirits.
"{Divine Nature's Wrath}!!!"
RUMBLE!
Dozens of gigantic arms rushed towards Focalor, clashing against him with tremendous force, hyper charged with divinity and spiritual energies.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Elayne attempted to eliminate him right away. She didn't want to kill a child, but she knew that it was not a child at all, it was nothing, but a demon reincarnated into the body of one.
A being of pure evil, that needed to be exorcized right away before it was to take more innocent lives!
"Did that do something?!"
Planta rushed forwards into the sky, as she saw Focalor amidst the smoke created from her explosive barrage of attacks.
Yet…
"Hm. Your soul… looks tasty."
The child smiled viciously at her, suddenly revealing it was encompassed in a powerful barrier made out of its compressed Demonic Authority.
Demon Princes were much different than Demon Dukes, which were the beings that they had battled so far.
Princes were right below the Demon King himself, after all.
They were on another level entirely, and right now, Focalor was going to show it.
"But you're too big, why don't you get… smaller?"
He waved his hand.
Suddenly, Planta felt space around her compress, rapidly tearing through her body and compressing it constantly.
Everyone saw in horror as Elayne turned into a cube…
"Much better."
Focalor grabbed the cube and swallowed it.
"ELAYNE!"
