BXBX NOVEL Chapter 415 - NO MORE HIDING
They looked to the sky from time to time and could watch storm clouds that extended for as long as the eye could see. These were the result of an individual\'s domain over the Law of Lightning and control over the natural energy and World Strength, so they could not disperse them.
Whenever they heard thunder above their heads, every Demon Lord adopted a battle stance, and by working as a team, they covered every direction with their eyesight.
Slaughter intent and wrath filled the Darkness Killer\'s eyes as he guided the Demon Lords forward.
\'Goddammit! From the beginning, from the fucking beginning, he planned to slaughter all of us.\' Dirok remembered with hate all the events that led him to his current condition.
After killing the Blood Demon Leviathan, he and the Venom Queen gathered back with their troops and massacred all the soldiers who came with their enemies.
Although the Demon Lords were not easy opponents, they had superior numbers and more power. Some of their Devil Counts endured severe injuries, but they lost no one.
Like they had planned, they waited for Evil, but he never appeared, which worried Dirok. At that moment, he glanced at the Venom Queen, and they signaled their troops to encircle Evil\'s warriors.
They did not know what happened with Evil, so both Demon Marquises chose to keep his soldiers on a tight leash so he could not depend on them if he wanted to betray them.
That is where they made their first mistake.
Once they were all gathered in one place, is when it happened. Evil\'s Demon Counts began to tremble before a metallic orb inside their brains swallowed their life force and souls.
Before the Darkness Killer or Venom Queen could do anything, the orbs detonated simultaneously. They strengthened each other, triggering a whirlwind of white lightning that made the secret dimension tremble.
Most of the Demon Counts were swallowed by the lightning tornado, with their bodies and soul only working as fuel for the phenomenon. On the other hand, all the Demon Marquises survived, with the Darkness Killer and Demon Queen only enduring some shallow wounds.
Dirok thought he had survived Evil\'s scheme, but then he and all the other Marquises made their second mistake. They underestimated Ezequiel\'s assassination skills.
Evil rose silently from the ground without revealing the slightest sign of his presence. Using a speed almost two times greater than the one he deployed against the Blood Demon Leviathan, he flashed to the Venom Queen.
Usually, as a Peak Demon Marquess who had formed a Law Essence, the Venom Queen should have been able to at least respond to Ezequiel\'s attack.
The problem was that everybody\'s consciousness recognized Ezequiel as a stream of air.
Dirok could not believe what he saw. He pried himself in his assassination skills but being able to trick the consciousness of a Peak Rank 5 life form into thinking you are no different than the winds that constantly surround you was incredible.
Before the Darkness Killer or any of the other Marquess could even give the Venom Queen a warning, Evil separated her head from the rest of her body.
Despite this shocking scene, the Darkness Killer and the remaining Devil Lords let their chaotic instincts suppress their commotion and launched themselves at Evil, ready to kill him.
Even a Rank 6 life form would find it hard to fight so many Demon Marquises at the same time, but Dirok clearly remembered the disdain on Evil\'s face when he saw them flashing at him.
Before they could reach Evil\'s side, the lightning tornado that almost swallowed them just a few moments ago exploded.
The blast broke their formation, and Evil used that opportunity to injure a Demon Marquess before vanishing.
The Demon Lords that remained alive after that were at a loss. They could not leave The Slaughter Trial until the Demon Dukes open the portal again, and if they don\'t do anything, Evil could sneak up on them and kill them one by one.
Being the strongest, Dirok took the lead. He knew their best chance was to reach the center of the dimension where the Blood Ponds resided. A powerful force sealed the space in that area, and there was a metallic city surrounding them that would make Evil\'s ability to hide in the elements useless.
Demons were unruly monsters, but these were all Rank 5 life forms, so their wisdom plus the threat of death made them accept Dirok\'s plan.
Evil\'s attacks did not end as the Demon Lords flew to the Blood Ponds. He used every chance and distraction he could create to reduce their numbers.
Ezequiel managed to assassinate four more Demon Marquises in the next few months. Of course, things didn\'t always go his way, and the Demon Lords managed to land a few heavy blows on him before he could disappear.
The reason for most of his failures was the Darkness Killer. The threat of death pushed the Demon Marquess\' instincts and abilities to the next level and slowly became powerful enough to respond to Ezequiel\'s attacks.
After five months of traveling, a big city with nine star-size cauldrons appeared in the Demon Lords\' sight.
Dirok smiled when he saw the metallic city and felt the sealing force affecting its space. All of a sudden, his eyes narrowed, and he instantly transformed into a stream of darkness that flashed toward an Abyss Fire-Snake and pushed him away.
A confused expression appeared on the Demon Marquess\' face, but he obtained his answer the next moment when a humanoid arc of white lightning fell from the sky and almost struck his head.
The arc of white lightning did not stop until it crashed into the ground. Its momentum and force were so high it created a rift that extended for dozens of thousands of meters.
The Abyss Fire-Snake\'s face showed the terror that invaded his heart. He never detected Evil\'s attack, and by what he saw just now, it had more than enough power to shatter his True Soul.
Without wasting a moment, the Darkness Killer, Abyss Fire-Snake, and Horned Demon adopted a battle formation with the Demon Counts behind them.
They were not planning to fight Evil since now their numbers were not enough to overwhelm him anymore. The sole goal of the formation was to secure their lives until he left and then keep advancing.
However, things were different now. Ezequiel would usually disappear the moment his attack failed, but this time, he did not leave.
The Supreme Neo-Demon coldly stared at the Demon Lords with eyes devoid of color that saw right through their flaws before looking at himself for a moment.
"Push yourself beyond your limits. Rise above everything else or fall into oblivion." The Supreme Neo-Demon thought out loud, and the next second, he stared at the Demon Lords with emotionless eyes.
"NO MORE HIDING!" Along with that roar full of will and determination, Ezequiel unleashed every ounce of power inside him.
From the Supreme Neo-Demon\'s body, an arc of white lighting charged with every elemental force surrounded by a black edge rose to the sky.
Ezequiel\'s power was so immense that it triggered a response from The Slaughter Trial\'s laws.
After consuming several Devil Marquises and absorbing their Law Essence, pushing his body and soul to the absolute limits of Rank 4, and channeling Abyss\' World Strength into his cells, the Supreme Neo-Demon\'s battle power began to touch the boundary of Rank 6!
Evil\'s aura was not only monstrously powerful. The darkness and madness in it that came from Abyss\' World Strength suffocated the Demon Lords.
Any other race would have succumbed to fear, but no matter how strong and wise demons became, in their core, they were crazy killing machines.
"AHHHHHH!" The Darkness Killer and the rest of the Demon Lords roared as they unleashed their strength and prepared for what could be the last fight of their lives.
Their energies were so dense and powerful that they transformed an area of hundreds of kilometers into a death zone for any Rank 3 life form, no matter how special and strong they were.
The next second, Ezequiel and the Demon Lords unleashed sonic booms that made space tremble.
