1938 Chapter 1938. Ending the Cycle
Snake Asmodeus, Dragon Asmodeus, and Bird Asmodeus slapped into each other. Chimera Asmodeus reappeared. All four heads immediately cast spells. The spells from his three frontal heads erected three layers of lightning cages around him while the snake head at its tail cast a recovery spell.
This was his action every time he recombined. With the lightning cages protecting him, he focused on healing while showering his opponents with spells.
Blackhole cast his offensive spells, but he knew from experience they couldn't prevent Asmodeus from healing. Four Winds and Arthur were about to advance to destroy the lightning cage, but Leavemealone stopped them.
"Move back!" Leavemealone exclaimed.
"What? Why? We have to stop him from healing himself," Four Winds uttered.
"I told you already the next time he recombines will be the last," Leavemealone said. He then pointed into the sky.
They looked up. Asmodeus did the same. His eyes went wide then. What he saw high up in the sky was a humongous fireball the size of a city.
"This...," Arthur was speechless at the sight.
"Fire Domination?" Four Winds asked. Ile never witnessed this skill, but he had learned about from the report. This was Suzaki's ultimate weapon.
"She started this skill during the brief time she took over when I died," Leavemealone explained. "She had been continuously gathering the flame mana since then. Because she is not in full control, she needs almost two days to form a fireball of that size."
The fireball in the sky was even slightly larger than the one that slain Uddroth. Although this area didn't have rich fire mana like Mount Sedgebare, many demons fighting here used fire attacks. The scale of the army fighting here was also larger than during the siege of Balgadur. This provided Suzaki with sufficient sources for her Fire Domination.
"Hey, Ilaon..." Blackhole called. "That thing is the size of a city. If you bring it down here, everyone will get burned. We can't all retreat in time."
"I laha! Are you willing to sacrifice everyone to defeat me?" Asmodeus taunted. Leavemealone's expression didn't change. "Don't worry about that. Though this is the first time we use the skill in the outside world, we have practiced using it plenty of times." "Huh? What do you mean?" Blackhole didn't understand.
"Just don't get too close to him!" Leavemealone exclaimed. "Here it goes!"
The titanic fireball in the sky erupted into an incredible firework. Uncountable streaks of fire rained down from the sky. These streaks of fire all flew in one direction, Asmodeus. The fire started battering the lightning cages protecting Asmodeus. Ilis three heads hurriedly cast any defensive spells he could cast in the limited time. The lightning cages didn't last long. Fire showered Asmodeus after his lightning cages gave in. The fire was unending. It was so much the fire started condensing and forming a large fireball. This fireball was growing.
Everyone started to move away. They all believed the fireball would return to its original size as more flames fell from the sky.
Leavemealone didn't stop them. He had told them not to worry. If they didn't trust him, that's their problem. He didn't care. His current focus was controlling the fireball expansion,
Ever since Suzaki was imprisoned inside him, he had mentally battled the firebird numerous times. This continued until one time when the two grew bored of the battles and eventually started talking. Leavemealone was a man with few words outside. But inside, he was pretty talkative. He grew close to Carnelia, his fairy companion, thanks to this internal conversation.
It was the same with Suzaki. Without realizing it, the three formed a bond within Leavemealone's mind.
Suzaki was bored of her life and wished to end it because of loneliness. Like other peak beings in the world, she tended to be alone and avoid socializing. Inside Leavemealone's mental prison, she instead found a connection she had never experienced before. She started to feel that it was not that bad to continue living. Even if said living was without freedom. This was why she was willing to aid Leavemealone in this fight.
When Leavemealone trained inside Chris' training dungeon, he also worked with Suzaki to use the Fire Domination. This was to be their ultimate trump card. While Suzaki's mana manipulation was stronger, Leavemealone's expertise in martial arts allowed him better control of mana.
The two worked together and reached a state that allowed them to condense the fireball from the Fire Domination. It was not fully a Form Manipulation, but their cooperation let them touch the realm. With this cooperation, they could limit the expansion of the fireball to an extent. Hence, the merged fireball that assailed Asmodeus wouldn't be the original size of a city.
This was why Leavemealone waited for Asmodeus to recombine, aside from so the Fire Domination could reach its peak state. It was so he could limit the target to just a single point. If he unleashed the Fire Domination while Asmodeus was split, he had to retain a large enough size to engulf all three Asmodeus. This meant lots of potential collateral damage.
Asmodeus was no longer seen. The fireball was so condensed that nothing was visible inside. The condensation caused the flames to burn hotter. The flames in the innermost part had even changed color to blue.
Fire streaks continued to fall from the sky and merged with the fireball. They seemed unending. As the fireball continued to enlarge, Leavemealone needed to move away as well. During his time inside Chris' training dungeon, he had never accumulated a fireball this large. Ilence, he miss-calculated the size he could compress. Whether they were demons or the defenders, everyone stopped fighting and moved as far away from the growing fireball as possible.
They continued to retreat until the fireball was almost one kilometer in diameter before the streaks of fire stopped raining down. Leavemealone was full of sweat as he struggled to keep the fireball condensed. Suzaki was aiding him. If she didn't, Leavemealone wouldn't have the power to hold such a power. The fireball would then erupt and cause a gigantic explosion that hit an even wider area than its original size.
Carnelia joked that perhaps they could try that the next time they used this skill when fighting against a large army instead of a single individual. Leavemealone seriously considered that option.
The fireball remained for quite a duration. Leavemealone continued to hold it in a condensed state. He had activated Overlimit to increase the damage by Fire Domination, but he could not see Asmodeus' HP bar. The damage number suffered by the devil was covered by the fireball. He also could not sense Asmodeus' mana because he was too far away. Even if he was close enough, the mana inside was too turbulent for him to sense. The only one who could sense what was happening inside was the being who possessed the Fire Domination.
"It's over," Suzaki told Leavemealone.
"Are you sure?" Leavemealone asked.
"Either he used some sort of a long-range teleportation spell to escape like what Broidrireg
did, or it's over, Suzaki answered.
The flames started receding as Suzaki willed them. The fireball grew dimmer until it disappeared altogether.
At the spot where Asmodeus used to stand were various items. They were the loots that dropped when the devil perished.
The battlefield was silent at the sight. No one was fighting. No one made a sound. That was until a powerful voice erupted.
"VICTORRYYY...!!!" Four Winds' roar empowered by mana manipulation echoed throughout. the battlefield.
The entire orc soldiers roared following him.
The underworld force still had a considerable number of demons, but these demons were now at a loss. Similar to what happened at Southern Palgrost Front, the demons here lost a substantial amount of morale and received a strong debuff. They were still in a trance when the ore soldiers resumed pouncing at them.
Arthur heaved a sigh. He sheathed his katana, "Our job is done," he uttered.
"But the battle is not, Four Winds said. "I prefer to stay and help the army defeat the
demons here, but I will message John to check how the other sides are doing. Perhaps theyGett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊n(.)com
need our help."
Four Winds went silent afterward. Arthur waited for him. Blackhole went and picked up Asmodeus' loot.
As for Leavemealone, he dashed away and resumed fighting the nearest demons. I lis
weapon's Overlimit was still active. Ile also activated Demonize Weapon. Ilis original plan was if the Fire Domination didn't kill Asmodeus, he would use the finishing attack available after using Overlimit and Demonize Weapon at the same time. He was now using this finishing attack on a nearby eternal-grade demon.
After a while of silence, Four Winds finally spoke, "He told us to stay and wipe out the demons here so the army can advance into Liguritudum the soonest."
Arthur nodded.
"Except for Blackhole. Hey, Blackhole!" Four Winds called.
"Yes?" Blackhole came. Ilis hands were full of Asmodeus' loot.
"Go and help John. He will send you his coordinates," Four Winds said.
"Help him? Didn't he bring the most members? It's not enough for him?" Blackhole asked.
"I don't know. He is the strategist. We follow his instructions. As for these." Four Winds snatched all the items from Blackhole's hands. "I will safeguard these. We will distribute
them once the battle is over"
"Uh... Okay..." Blackhole regretted not storing all those loots in his inventory.
Ile took out Chris' trial disc. Not long after, he vanished.
