Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital
As Baem departed from the Southern Capital and made her way to Sky Blossom City, in one of the space vestiges, a majestic feminine voice spoke, “You’re quick, aren’t you? Follow it, but don’t get spotted, and don’t engage, it is a lot more powerful than you. Just report back where it goes and what it is upto.”
“Yes, your majesty,” a Demigod respectfully agreed with the commanding woman’s voice, and then disappeared from the space vestige, following Baem’s tracks.
…
Agony didn’t respond to Baem’s departure, but the red light in her eyes became more intense. Wyatt observed that the stronger the red glow, the more cold and indifferent Agony appeared. He wondered if Belphegor was suppressing the memories and feelings of her consciousness to turn her into a stone-cold killing machine using some means that he had previously placed on her.
With the bothersome snake gone, Belphegor commanded Agony pointing at the seventy-five demigods in a battle formation, “Go, deal with those nuisances.”
Following his order, the red glow in Agony’s eyes flickered twice before she moved toward the battle array formation set up by the seventy-five demigods. Her actions were mechanical, she looked like a corpse puppet obeying her master’s commands. It was as if Belphegor held her fate in his hands. No wonder Baem was so helpless despite her prowess.
“Ready,” the leader of the first team announced to all the groups as they saw the corpse devil approaching. He was warning the demigods to brace themselves for another difficult fight. This battle was going to be much more intense and demanding than their previous encounters with devils since a portal to the Dark Realm had been opened right above the city. This meant that the Corpse Devil’s power wasn’t held back by the world’s will, and it would be the first time they would be fighting a devil at its full strength.
“Summon, Unranked Hell Undead Agony,” Watching the seventy-five-point star battle formation lit up, the emotionless Agony immediately began her attack.
The clouds in the sky transformed into a fiery golden-red hue as they began to erupt with fire, casting a radiant golden glow over the city. The vivid blend of hot red and orange flames started to rain down, showering the city in a blazing inferno.
When the fires came into contact with the wind, they let out piercing screams that were filled with agony. These weren’t ordinary sounds, but haunting, almost human cries that resonated with torment and suffering. The stronger the wind blew, the louder and more desperate the screams became, rising and falling in a tortured symphony. It was as if the very elements were in pain, their voices merging into a chilling chorus that echoed through the air, adding an eerie, unsettling layer to the chaotic scene.
The seventy-five demigods, faced with the alarming onslaught of wailing flames summoned forth by the female corpse devil, acted with seamless unity using the big bang battle array formation. They employed their synchronized divine sense to create a radiant divine protection barrier covering each of them against the flames, filled with an agonizing scream, that drew near.
Soon the flames crashed against the divine protection covering the demigods like waves against a cliff. Each impact sent a shockwave of heat and light, but the barrier held firm, glowing with a serene, otherworldly luminescence. The demigods’ faces were etched with concentration, their eyes focused, and their bodies poised, aware that any lapse in their collective resolve could spell disaster. In that perilous moment, thanks to the big bang battle array formation they were not just individuals but parts of a greater whole.
With the demigods destroying the rule domain trinity conjured by the mohawk devil, the relentless flow of magma that had once engulfed the city’s grounds began to cool. The fiery river, once a wild and untamed force, gradually lost its ferocity, turning solid and still as it transformed into a dark, scorched landscape.
But now a new menace plagued the scorched city grounds, writhing flames that seemed to twist and scream in unknown agony whenever the wind passed through them. One look and anyone could tell that these weren’t normal flames; they appeared to the manifestations of pain and torment that had taken the form of fire.
The flames danced across the cooled magma, their movement sinuous and serpentine, leaving trails of thick, dark smoke that billowed into the sky. The smoke hung heavy, a dark shroud that seemed to breathe and expand, casting an oppressive shadow over the city. It choked the air, filling it with a stifling, acrid scent that clawed at the throat and stung the eyes.
Faced with the unusual smoke, and aware that normal fire rule doesn’t emit smoke, the demigods became cautious and chose not to lower the divine protection barrier that was shielding them.
Watching the smoke-filled fiery hell summoned by the corpse devil, Wyatt, who was facing off against Belphegor, was reminded of his match against Corey in the semi-finals of the city’s high school card fight tournament. Corey had also summoned something similar, but the hell she had called forth was like a much smaller version, only one-hundredth the scale of what the corpse devil had summoned. The area of effect of Corey’s hell was limited to the arena following the tournament rules so it was not a fair comparison not to forget the difference in the realm.
“Damned denied death, arise,” Agony yelled, calling forth her army of damned souls. These were individuals she had sent to her unranked hell Undead Agong, a tormenting place where the imprisoned were denied the release of death.
