NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1180: The Might Of The Demon Prince
-----
"ELAYNE!"
Mark panicked as he broke through the demonic pressure of Focalor, quickly beginning to transform into a larger and larger form.
"YOU BASTARD!"
As he roared at the demon prince, Focalor made an annoyed face as he swallowed and tried to digest Elayne.
"Hm? There's no soul…?"
BAAAMMM!!!
Mark's blazing fists reached the barrier of Focalor, spreading small cracks due to the tremendous force he carried within him.
The fusion of his body's stats plus his transformation, his skills, and the might of the Totem Spirits, that although few, were much stronger than the conventional spirits, managed to break through.
Even if a tiny bit!
"Annoying!"
Focalor waved his hand, suddenly beginning to shatter and destroy Mark's giant arm.
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
"Ugh!"
Mark saw as his arm was compressed, twisted, and torn apart from his body, his blood, sap, began coming out of his horrendous wound.
The most shocking part was that his defenses and durability were tremendously high while in this transformation, transforming his wood into metal.
Yet to Focalor it was all the same.
Twigs!
"That thing… didn't had soul. Do you have soul?"
He glared at Mark, suddenly using its powers, and trying to drag Mark towards him, about to compress him into a cube and eat him!
"W-What is this power?! Spatial manipulation?!" thought Mark. "Wait, no, this isn't spatial manipulation… It is more like Telekinesis! But that strong?!"
Actually, Mark was wrong, it was neither of the two.
"MARK!"
Suddenly, Elayne's voice echoed from behind him, as her clones appeared behind him.
"Elayne?! You're alive!"
The reason why Elayne didn't have a soul when Focalor ate him is because she quickly pulled her soul back to her other bodies.
In fact, she was perhaps one of Focalor's natural enemies, as her soul was within her body in Earth, and also within the huge tree back in the Forest of Beginnings!
"Dammit!"
Mark roared, unleashing an infernal storm as he slashed Focalor with his giant sword, the flames were about to hit the demon prince, only for his powers to manifest once more.
The flames simply moved away from him, without even touching him, flying elsewhere…
Not only that, but the flames weakened and dissipated too.
This wasn't simple telekinesis!
"What?!"
"Your pitiful fire… Is nothing."
Focalor seemed angered, swinging his hand down.
"I don't want to eat you anymore, die."
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, a tremendous hand made of purple winds and black, miasmic water materialized out of nowhere. Rushing down towards Mark and crushing his head, piercing through it and the rest of his body, and dividing him into two parts, before collapsing apart and exploding.
BOOOMMM!!!
"No!"
Elayne knew that Mark wasn't like her in that part, and that demons could target and hurt souls with their mere blows!
She ran towards him, quickly unleashing a giant wave of healing spiritual magic, his two parts rapidly came together at once, regenerating and fusing into him.
"Aaaahh! Hahhh… Hahhh…!"
Mark gasped for air, although he could easily regenerate his body or even reawaken upon death as a phoenix, that wasn't possible if his soul was divided into two pieces and destroyed!
However, Elayne, using her powerful magic, healed him and stitched his soul back, he barely made it out.
"Elayne… you're alive!"
"You shouldn't have charged like that, idiot! That thing's does not like the others!"
"Sorry… But that monster, that demon… Its powers are strange."
"I know, it's not space magic, and it's not telekinesis either…"
"What is it then?"
"I don't know! But we don't have time for this! We have to help everyone else snap out of this! Let's fuse the Spiritual Auras together!"
"Sure!"
Mark didn't hesitate, as Focalor was eating the souls of the people he had already killed, seemingly without a care in the world about anything else, showcasing how powerful he was that he didn't even care about directly killing someone or pursuing them, Mark and Elayne ran towards their paralyzed allies.
"Everyone!"
Their Spiritual Souls combined together, the healing flames of the Phoenix Spirit Totem within Mark combined with Elayne's healing spiritual powers of Yggdrasil, rushing over everyone, and covering them in protective veils.
"{Dual Spiritual Aura Art}: {Divine Spiritual Phoenix Yggdrasil Veil of Protection}!"
FLAAASH!
Everyone suddenly snaped back to reality as they gasped for air, as if they had been suffocating below the sheer power of Allocer, the enormous aura it exuded which simply paralyzed all "lesser beings" from within a range that Elayne calculated to be roughly 250 meters around him.
"Hahhh… W-We're back?!" Acorn gasped. "It was like… a nightmare! My head…"
"Ugh…!" Nieve resisted the sensation of vomiting right there. "Hahhh… T-This is hard…"
"My goodness, what was that?!" asked Camilla. "Even I couldn't resist that…! Just what… is that thing!?"
"Another terrifying boss!" said the King. "Just how much is this System going to mess with our lives?!"
"It's not the System's fault!" said Elena. "That thing was brought here by someone else, whoever was with the demons that possessed those people…!"
"Yeah, d-definitely!" Anna was trying to calm herself down. "Dammit, they were probably the magicians from the tower, right?!"
"But they have yet to show themselves at all! Once more they have thrown us all kinds of creatures while comfortably hiding inside their damn tower…!" the King groaned furiously. "Dammit! And that thing is eating people! We must somehow stop that!"
"Your majesty, please calm down!" David said. "This is not your duty but ours to protect the kingdom!"
"I simply cannot sit idly, David! That monster, those bastards keep bringing all sorts of monstrosities! Just who do they think they are?! Daring to ruin the kingdom my ancestors have worked so hard to build!" the King was furious and also… exasperated. "T-This is not fair! When… when will this ever end?"
"Papa…" Gustav was there, looking at his father resisting his tears.
"It's alright," said Elayne. "We'll find a way to kill it. We've killed three. I am not looking down on it, but if we continue fighting and distracting it, we can manage to evacuate the people from its range. David! Please tell all your knights to quickly evacuate the people within a kilometer from the position of Focalor.
If possible, get them out of the city entirely!"
"Y-Yes, will do!" said David. "Your majesty, please come with us!"
"I'm not going anywhere!" The King roared. "I'm fighting too!"
