Chapter 1961: Satan’s Final Form

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Woohoo...!" Satan shouted passionately. "I feel much better now that I am in this final form!"

"This is... way more than I expected," John remarked. He was commenting about Satan's aura after the transformation. "Wilted should have informed us the difference is this glaring."

"I don't think she is aware of it," Jeanny said. "I think this is Satan's improvement after this world turns real. His form probably isn't this strong originally."

Jack also sensed the intensity of Satan's aura. He asked Peniel to use Group Fast Heal to bring everyone's HP back to a safe level.

Satan admired himself after the transformation. He now turned in their direction while grinning.

"Move away!" John exclaimed.

Everyone did as he told, except for his Avatar Incarnation and Jack. He intentionally left his Avatar Incarnation to take Satan's attention. Jack also stayed behind for the same purpose. He had the War God Manifestation. Compared to everyone, his chance of survival was the highest.

Satan pointed at John's Avatar Incarnation. Runic symbols flared around his pointing finger. A fiery beam shot out. The beam was so fast the avatar had no time to evade. The beam pierced through its chest. Its HP bar was already low due to battling Satan. Its HP dropped to zero, and it burst into flames.

Satan vanished after firing that finger beam.

Only Jack could see Satan's movements. He flew into Satan's path to block him.

"Ho...! Very brave of you, Storm Wind," Satan praised.

Jack didn't have the chance to give Satan a witty reply when he sensed an attack. He narrowly dodged when Satan's fist came punching from above. However, he sent a second attack immediately after that. Another fist, made of flames, punched at the spot where he had dodged.

Jack used Teleport Slash to dodge again and attack at the same time. However, after he teleported, he found Satan had already moved away. What awaited him was another punch.

His War God's Shield still needed time to recover after getting destroyed, so he used Magic Shield. This magic shield was destroyed as soon as it touched the flaming punch. He crashed into the ground.

Jack was again saved by the Ring of Dark Abyss, which nullified half the damage he received. Half of the nullified damage was reflected to Satan. Yet, the damage Satan received was minuscule. The devil's defense increased again after he transformed.

Peniel used Fast Heal to recover Jack's HP. She then hid inside her hidden dimension. She kept phasing in and out of her hidden dimension throughout the battle. It was too dangerous for her to stay in the open in this fight.

"Harhar! I prefer to finish you last, Storm Wind," Satan laughed. "If you don't mind. Please don't bother me. I want to kill your friends first."

"Over my dead bo-"

"Okay," Satan uttered before Jack finished his speech. His feet stomped at Jack with incredible speed.

Luckily, Void Walk was available. Jack warped away just before the gigantic foot crashed into the ground.

A fiery aura radiated from Satan. It made it seem as if the air in Satan's vicinity was engulfed in flames. When Jack reappeared, he was within the scope of this fiery aura. He felt as if the air around him had become solidified. He had difficulty moving!

Satan's hand came at Jack. Jack quickly used the second teleport of his Void Walk. The fiery aura Satan gave off covered a pretty wide area. The distance of Jack's Void Walk was not enough to let him flee the area. He still came out within the fiery aura.

He sensed Satan's hand coming at him again. He used Void Walk's third teleport. Every time he teleported, Satan immediately came to where he was. The fiery aura followed Satan, so Jack failed to escape its area of effect even after his fifth teleport.

Jack focused the power of War God Manifestation into one hand. He was ready to perform a slash to meet Satan's incoming hand. He also activated Gold Scale Armor to endure the HP loss.

However, before the shining blade clashed with Satan's incoming hand, something else barged in. A blade-like plane with a drill at its tip pierced through the dense fiery aura and stabbed Satan's hand.

"Spark!" Jack called.

Spark had defeated the four demons. It was helping Grace fight Dajja at first. But when it saw Jack in trouble, it came to the rescue. What it was using now was its last skill. It transformed into the sword-plane mode like when it prioritized movement speed. In addition to the transformation, its ten bladed wings positioned themselves at its tip, forming a drill. Fierce energy coursed through this drill as it spun at high speed.

This skill could pierce almost everything. Unfortunately, Satan's limb was not among those it could pierce. Even so, this skill let Spark maintain its high speed even after entering Satan's dense fiery aura. The extreme momentum was enough to smack Satan's hand away even if Spark failed to cause that hand any wound.

Without slowing its momentum, Spark flew right out of Satan's fiery aura before making a U- turn and coming right back at Satan again. Spark's current skill was a duration skill. As long as its duration did not end, it could repeat its attack.

Jack didn't stay still. He already focused War God Manifestation's energy. He also combined the ten golden orbs from his aureole into a giant golden spear. Merging the focused light in his hand into the spear, he thrust the spear ahead using One-word Thrust. His thrust matched the timing when Spark pierced back into Satan's fiery aura. The two coordinated their assaults to aim at Satan from different directions. This way, if Satan dodged one of their attacks, he would still get nailed by the other attack.

However, Satan's grin turned wider. He didn't make any attempt to dodge. He simply lifted his two hands. One was facing Jack. The other aimed in Spark's direction. As Jack and Spark came close, two large rings appeared. One was silver. The other was dark purple. Jack and Spark's assaults stabbed into these rings but couldn't pierce through.

"No way! Your Soul and Chaos Ring of Defense should still be on cooldown!" Jack exclaimed. The ring had a cooldown of twelve hours if destroyed. It was less than twelve hours when he last destroyed the ring. Not only that, but Satan could also now split his normally one ring into two. One contained the soul element. The other was the chaos element.

"Harhar. I learned not long ago that I can do many things when I'm in this form. One of which is reducing the cooldown of a skill of my choice," Satan laughed.

When Satan was stopping the attack, the flaming aureole on his back detached and floated above. After he finished defending, he slapped the two rings into the flaming aureole. After the soul and chaos rings combined with the aureole, the flame became fiercer.

"This is the end of our fight," Satan said to Jack.

Jack could sense the intensity of the flaming ring above Satan. It was not something that could be defended with just high defense and high HP. His Invulnerability, Void Defense, and Ghost Form were still on cooldown. He wanted to cast Teleportation but wouldn't make it in time.

Satan swung the flaming soul and chaos ring in his hands.

Spark suddenly appeared before Jack. With the dull side of his bladed limb, he grabbed Jack and shoved him away. Jack was surprised at Spark's strength. He never had a chance to spar with Spark after his Storm Breaker absorbed the fallen apostle's longsword. It turned out his spirit weapon's stats became rather monstrous. That one shove flung him away at incredible

speed.

Spark's act of saving Jack had to be paid for with its sacrifice. It couldn't do anything when the flaming soul and chaos ring sliced into him. Its metallic body split into two without any resistance. Its HP bar zeroed in an instant.

"Do you think you can flee?" Satan asked. He let go of the ring, and the ring flew away,

chasing after Jack.

Jack had started casting Teleportation since Satan combined his ring with his aureole. He never stopped casting. It was now completed. He vanished as the flaming ring was about to

slice his body.

"Hmph!" Satan harrumphed. He clenched his hand into a fist. The flaming ring that was flying suddenly halted in the air. It then spun rapidly.

*BOOM!*

The spinning ring detonated into a fiery sphere that radiated out. Jack, who had teleported away, was hit by this sphere once he reappeared. The impact sent him tumbling into the air

before crashing into the ground.

*

"Crap... Luckily, we have moved away," John said. He and the others had put a significant distance when John called them to retreat.

"My Dragon God's Protection and Battle Dragon are off cooldown. I will go and help Jack!" Jeanny exclaimed.

John was about to ask her to wait, but she had flown off.

*

On the ground, Jack stood back up. His entire body hurt. His HP was below ten percent. Peniel came out, but her Fast Heals were still on cooldown. She could only use Healing Field, but

that skill healed slowly.

Jack looked up and saw the flaming ring in the sky separated after the detonation. The fire aureole went back to Satan's back, while the soul and chaos ring of defense returned to

Satan's hand.

"That seems like a duration skill. Thank God for that," Jack remarked. If Satan could use it

continuously like the Soul and Chaos Ring of Defense, they would be in huge trouble.

Jack sensed someone approaching from behind. He turned and saw it was Grace. "Grace! Hurry and heal Jack!" Peniel told her.

But instead of healing Jack, Grace thrust her finger forward. The Nine Yin Abyssal Finger drilled into Jack's chest. The few HP he got remaining was drained by the cold black drill.
