Chapter 352 The Answer To Despair
"Are you still sure that you want to continue?"
Spilling out the characteristics of one's ability could be seen as pointlessly exposing oneself. However, the Demon Lord had a solid reason for doing so, and it wasn't stalling.
In reality, the endless amount of nutrients hidden within his body made knowing about the ability pointless if anything. Rather than stalling, the Demon Lord confidently exposed this useless fact to end things quickly!
While killing the strongest obstacle he could pick up wasn't always effective at reducing the world's resistance and others rose after their disappearance, just as the case was in this world, the Demon Lord had always found a creative way to kill the second greatest obstacle using the plethora of special abilities that he possessed.
Unfortunately, however, the Heavenly Demon was simply too extraordinary as a Guardian! He wasn't the very first one that the Demon Lord had met, but his mastery of 'Demon Sealing' was too strong.
Starting from the Dragon Fear that was reduced to nothing, the Demon Lord had tried several peak abilities that couldn't even go past the trigger point. In conclusion, the empathetic invader understood that he could only overwhelm his opponent using physical force.
As embarrassing as it was, even as someone who stood at the peak of the Demon World, the Demon Lord could barely contend with the strength of the highest power level in the Murim.
Without the complimenting special abilities, like the Sword Dominator's Sword Aura or the King Thunderbird's Weather Manipulation, and so on… He couldn't exhibit his true level of ability, making him no match to the peak of the world pursuing physical force to the extreme!
In the end, he had to rely on the very basic ability that ensured his survival to this point, his identity as a Devourer. The Heavenly Demon's strength was frightening, but this strength would similarly diminish if he ran out of energy.freewebnovel. com
Since Cheon Ma had to put his battery-like Dantian on overload to destroy an enemy like the Demon Lord so many times, he would eventually run out soon and be a helpless prey to the invader. Only, this invader didn't want to waste as much time as what he already wasted!
The more people were given the chance to resist and cling to hope, the lower the chance that they could give up willingly. Many were already suffering! Only by accepting the destiny in peace could it all end!
Death was the Heavenly Demon's destiny, but the Demon Lord wanted him to skip the delay by throwing him into despair using the fact that he was fighting an unwinnable battle.
'I see…'
Directly believing the enemy's words was the exact example of what not to do in this situation, but it was a different case when one already had guesses about it.
Although senses could be fooled, the Heavenly Demon's Scarlet Sky Eyes was as accurate as a radar. Throughout this battle, the Demon Lord's energy signals hadn't changed one bit. Even when his body had been beaten to a pulp and changed, everything was still at the same level!
The energy signal that was slightly lower than his had given Cheon Ma more confidence, but it wasn't weakening while he was running out of energy. Since no special ability could deceive him, the Heavenly Demon was already starting to think that his enemy's energy reserve was close to infinite.
The blackhole structure that was always at the center of the Demon Lord's body regardless of how many times he changed it especially provoked his suspicions…
The Demon Lord's reveal was most likely true!
The Heavenly Demon could push himself for another half dozen kills before his efficiency decreased, but if that still didn't work, he would be incapable of doing anything in response. On the other hand…
"Thought about it well enough?"
"Yes."
"As expected, someone like you is smart enough to…"
Hearing the resignation in the Heavenly Demon's voice, the Demon Lord believed that his kind heart had finally reached the stubborn obstacle. However, upon looking deeper into his eyes, he realized that these weren't the eyes of someone who gave in to despair.
Rather, they were full of hateful hope! Something that the Demon Lord was very familiar with as someone who succumbed to the same illusion!
"You! You still want to pointlessly resist in the end?!"
'I guess I didn't feel that something was wrong for nothing…'
"Chang, Hwa-bi, assist me!"
The sanguine glow in the Heavenly Demon's eyes dimmed slightly as the brightness of hope and the bleakness of despair mixed within. Enhancing his voice with Internal Energy, he called out to two of the Heavenly Strength Society's Four Pillars!
"You are hopeless!"
A huge volley of energy was suddenly thrown at the Demon Lord as he swelled up with anger, piercing through the stomach of the iron golem that he turned into!
Clap!
In the same instant, a very thin object shot over, embedding itself in his head. Thunder crackled in the sky as lightning descended on the metallic figure. The Heavenly Demon didn't bother to be secretive about it, yet the Demon Lord paid no heed as his body was brought close to death once more.
The body mangled by the 'arrow' was further broken down by the erosion of the deadly lightning. To the immortal monster, this was just another shedding. However…
'I just hope it isn't too early for her.'
Scarlet particles emerged from the Heavenly Demon's body, swarming towards the Demon Lord in the middle of his reformation. Even the armor and the dual swords dispersed to increase the limited output!
"Futile! This is all-"
The Demon Lord was irritated enough to give up on hastening the end, he just wanted to engage in endless bashing. It only made sense that he would be flattened a few times, but he would accept as many just to get rid of this nonsensical guardian who can't understand his ideals.
He even went as far as to make use of the time he gave him to think just to add in some damage! That was simply…
"Wait… wait!"
…Unexpected. The Devourer was faced with the first threat he experienced ever since he became the Demon Lord!
