NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1509: Against The Three Demon Princes Of The Dark Continent
-----
"Have some patience," Blake spoke, remaining in silence. "They're here."
The group glanced into the distance, as they saw a gigantic army in front of the shores of the Dark Continent, the army of demons spreading for kilometers, their numbers over five million soldiers.
There were Demons of all shapes and sizes, but all came equipped with armor made of Demonic Beast leather and bones, and carried weapons made out of the demonic ores mined in these lands.
This was another reason why demons spread their power and terraformed land, as they could harvest resources used to create their own unique equipment, demonic armor and demonic weapons, powerfully amplifying their already strong abilities.
"T-There they are, my lords! They came! The Summoner's army!"
Varkrax's cowardly voices echoed behind a trio of giant demons standing in front of the army, the great demon general having been divided into two smaller lackeys after they barely survived being chopped into four pieces.
"Hmph, so they have come."
"His army is also airborne and aquatic?!"
"We cannot let them pass, the Dimensional Demon Gate connecting to Hell must remain untouched!"
The three giant demons were powerful beings, overflowing with demonic energy of even higher quality and power than Varkrax. Each one of them was slightly similar, as if they were siblings. They were humanoid in appearance, with scales covering several areas of their bodies, they had sharp ears and gills around their necks, and long fish-like tails. The one at the center was red-skinned, while the one on the left was dark green and the one at the right was brown.
They were the three Demon Princes born in this world, Ancient Merfolk Cultists that sold their bodies and souls to demons, being reborn as Demons themselves, and growing stronger as they terraformed the entire continent and absorbed their resources, while constantly bringing more to Hell, increasing their ranks until the point of being promoted to Demon Princes of the Dark Continent.
The Traitorous Brothers, the ones that brought the destruction upon this continent...
"So they're real..." Dylan gasped. "Those bastards, they're ancient cultists... Merfolk that turned into demons and sold this continent to the demons in ancient times!"
"So it seems," Blake nodded. "It does not matter, however. We'll end this now. Elizabeth, Erika, let's begin."
"Sure!" Elizabeth nodded.
"Let's go!" Erika said.
All three of them gathered their power, channeling divinity and spiritual power, as the trio of princes watched the skies in disbelief, thousands of giant golden runes emerging and assembling together...
"W-Wait a minute, what are they planning to do with that?!"
"A powerful spell of sorts! We must put a stop to them now!"
"You won't get away with this, Summoner!"
All three princes roared, charging into the skies, as their army followed them. Indeed, even the smallest of Imps sprouted large demonic wings, made out of their own auras, and flew into the skies.
Both armies clashed, demons against familiars, beasts of all shapes and sizes unleashed elemental attacks and powerful skills, while demons unleashed the power of their demonic magic and their demonic weapons, explosions of light, fire, water, ice, and demonic energies erupted, painting the sky of various colors.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"We won't tolerate you in our domain, Summoner!"
The three princes were about to reach Blake, only for him to not even to need to lift a finger, as space itself warped, black and red blood shifting space around Blake.
"Wha...?!"
The princes couldn't believe it, but out of nowhere, they were pushed back, it was as if there was an invisible barrier protecting him!
But it wasn't a magic barrier, nor a special construct, it was as if his very presence, or rather, his existence, negated these fools from ever touching him.
"This is a good opportunity to warm up, guys, go against them. Dylan, you too," Blake said.
"I was going to do it even if you didn't ask!" Chris smiled, fusing with all of his Spirits at once as his body ascended, becoming thrice as tall, muscular, and overflowing with flames through all of his skin, which had changed from white to reddish. "UOOOHHH!"
He roared mightily, resembling a blazing titan, as he swung his blazing axe, one of his spirits, and split the sky apart, a giant wave of spiritual flames rushing down. The red scaled prince swung his hammer against his attack, an explosion of black flames mixed with Chris', generating ripples through space and clearing the sky above.
BOOOMMM!!!
"Hoh, you're not bad, human... But can you truly go against the demonic powers I have cultivated for thousands of years?! Hahahaha!"
The prince kicked the air, clashing against Chris, his hammer against Chris' axe, explosions of both spiritual and demonic flames erupting with each attack. A cleaving blow to the demon's left shoulder, a kick in the stomach by the demon prince to Chris, a hammer blow at the back, and a cleaving strike at the right leg, their blood splattering everywhere as they clashed intensely, fighting like wild warriors.
"HAAAAHHH!"
Chris powered up, unleashing the power of his Divine Spiritual Aura, his Divinities channeled one by one, enhancing his powers and body to a new level entirely, pushing forward, he punched the demon's face, followed by several cleaving strikes at its left arm, until he managed to slice it apart.
SLAAASH!
"Graaah?! My arm!"
The Demon screamed in agony, quickly manifesting thousands of claws made of black flames from his aura, attacking Chris entire body, overwhelming him by hitting him constantly, each blow tearing through his Aura and slicing his body.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Ungh...! Heh, this is nothing!"
However, Chris remained more energetic than ever, his flames purifying his wounds and healing him, leaving the demon prince speechless! He had no idea these humans were so resistant to demonic miasma. A bit of that inside a wound was already a death sentence to most humans.
And yet... Chris and his friends were different.
