"You are stronger than I thought you were a little demon. But if you want me to come out, you're going to have to show that you are more worthy." The Eternal Justice demon said after a few seconds of awkward silence.
He hadn't expected that the zombies that he had thought were decently powerful were so weak in front of Yoze. He almost felt a bit embarrassed that he had chosen to have trusted these small creatures to fight a demon.
He had forgotten that compared to its species that had a weak body from the start. Most demons were very sturdy the moment they were born. Meaning that as they grew older and had more time to devour more spiritual energy, their physical bodies would automatically become stronger.
From the mere looks of it, the young demon in front of him had already made his body so powerful that it could control its blood to become a weapon. Even though these zombies were useless in front of most demons, he had allowed his own bias to influence his own decisions.
Unfortunately, he had too much pride in his heart to allow a younger demon like Yoze to see his body after boasting so much. He could only force his teammate to try harder.
While the Eternal Justice demon was refusing to accept his own mistakes, Yoze felt that this was the most boring battle he had ever been a part of. Even though several minutes had passed since he had gotten here, he hadn't been able to fight the Eternal Justice demon or even see its body.
The only thing he felt was interesting was the formation that the witch had set up that could influence his emotions. Still, after he lifted his guard, its effect dropped drastically. So unless the witch who had set this up came with a more powerful formation or spells, he didn't have to worry about it much.
"If you are not going to volunteer to come out, then I will just force you."
Before Yoze finished his sentence, he jumped into the air and threw a heavy long blood spear made out of his blood at the location he sensed the Eternal Justice demon. In less than a split second, the blood spear had dug deep into the ground when a deep roar erupted.
"Fine! I will just kill you and not give you any mercy!" The Eternal Justice demon's rage and shame seemed to fuel its spiritual energy to explode from the ground like a volcano.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three red pillars of spiritual energy rose out of the ground like magma coming out of a volcano.
The ground trembled as large cracks ran across the graveyard, causing dozens of gravestones to fall deep into the mountain, including one of the bronze gravestones, which allowed Yoze to instantly sense that the formation surrounding the region collapsed to nothing. Watching the Eternal Justice demon cause this level of destruction simply from leaving the ground, Yoze's face dropped as he knew that this would be a tough battle but felt his heart thumping from excitement.
He could only imagine the horrifying creature about to emerge from the mountain's depths. According to his theory, the demon had to be at least twenty feet tall and weigh nearly 20 tons.
The demons he had fought before were children compared to the display that the Eternal Justice demon had shown him just now. Luckily he didn't have to wait long before he noticed a giant blood-red eye with several purple pupils popping out of one of the cracks in the earth.
The single eye was so large that it was as large as a human torso, and the killing intent was so dense that Yoze felt like he could taste it.
Just then, a second eye appeared from another crack, then another, and another. By the time Yoze counted the original ten eyes, another ten popped up, filled with the same rage and killing intent as the first five eyes.
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, the entire ground of the graveyard sank several feet before exploding to reveal a giant black figure. Judging from the shape of the Eternal Justice demon's body, Yoze was surprised to realize that it wasn't a mammal.
"A slug?"
Even though there was a thick cloud of dust covering the details of the Eternal Justice demon's body, it was enough for Yoze to guess that the Eternal Justice demon was some kind of slug-like creature. From the fact that all of its eyes were on stick-like appendages and its oddly long body, he felt that the possibility that the Eternal Justice demon had some relationship with a slug was high.
"Are you engulfed in fear!? Hpmh, I hope you can survive at least a few seconds so I can get some entertainment as I kill you." The Eternal Justice demon said with anger.
Using one of its eyes, it waved away the dust cloud so that its majestic body could be revealed to Yoze, which allowed Yoze to see the bright yellow and slimy skin of a giant slug.
"Finally, let's not play around anymore. It's either that I end your life today and consume all of your spiritual energy and body, or I will only consume half and leave the rest for breakfast." Yoze said calmly.
With the reveal of the Eternal Justice demon's true body, he felt more confident in his ability to win this battle. Even though the Eternal Justice demon gave him some sense of danger, it wasn't to the point where he felt he had to retreat.
It was on a slightly higher level than when he had fought the Leopard demon when it was strong but not something he couldn't defeat. Even with a witch hiding in the background, Yoze's instincts no longer sensed a threat.
"For the witch's threat to disappear either means that they have retreated and are too far away for me to sense any danger or after having their formation destroyed by the Eternal Justice demon, they don't have anything else that can threaten me."
