Chapter 1959: Chapter 1959. Hidden Lackeys

"Let's see how you dodge this," Satan said. His body changed color into half silver and half dark purple. He was about to use either the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction or the Soul and Chaos Extinguishing Cannon.
Jack thought it was the former. With this sphere enclosing him, there was no place to flee. The explosive energy would cover everything inside this sphere.
Satan grinned and said, "You have used Ghost Form and the strange skill that distorts the space not long ago. You don't have anything else that can save you from this."
"Don't think you know all my moves! I still have skills that I have not shown!" Jack exclaimed.
"Big talk!" Satan bellowed and unleashed his Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction.
"Peniel, Invulnerability!" Jack exclaimed.

Outside the locking sphere, Dajja stayed and observed. Although he helped by casting Space Lock, Satan told him to stay away. Satan believed he could finish Jack swiftly as long as he limited Jack's movement. So, there was no need for Dajja to do anything further.
Little did he know, someone else was observing the duel as well. This person immediately moved after seeing Jack getting trapped by the Space Lock. Dajja didn't notice this person despite his incredible eyesight because this person was in the opposite direction from where he was.
This person shot toward the sphere that was trapping Jack and Satan. On her back were silvery-green wings. She arrived just as Satan unleashed his Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction. She was worried when he sensed the terrifying mana behind the sphere. The sphere seemed to be in a struggle to contain the blast. Not deterred, she slammed her long mace into the sphere's wall. The sphere shattered in one hit.
"Grace!" Jack called after seeing the one who came to his rescue. Peniel had already bestowed Jack with invulnerability, so he was fine even when the destructive energies of the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction showered him.
Grace had arrived some time ago. She messaged Jack when she did. Jack told her to help the army and let him fight Satan alone. Grace respected Jack's decision but didn't want to leave him alone. After seeing that the army was not in trouble, she sneaked to where the duel was taking place and silently observed while staying hidden.
Dajja was also hiding at the time. He and Grace coincidentally hid in opposite directions from the dueling ground. Hence, they weren't aware of one another.
Grace destroyed Dajja's Space Lock using the Angelic Penalize. This skill caused one to be unable to use skills or cast spells if the strike hit a combatant. But if it hit an existing spell, it could cancel the spell.
Satan's Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction burst out when the Space Lock was shattered. Its destructive energy washed over Grace, but she was fine. She activated Disciplinary Fortitude before striking the sphere. She was immune to all elemental damage, even soul and chaos. It was Dajja who was startled when the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction burst out. He was confident of his Space Lock, so he didn't keep a safe distance. He was within the blast radius. He only had the time to erect a magic shield when the blast hit him.
The Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction lingered for a while. Everyone received damage if they didn't leave its area of coverage. However, its area was too vast. It was unlikely anyone could flee before the skill ended.
Satan couldn't see anything because everything was covered by the silver and dark purple light. Before his skill ended, something flew at high speed toward him. Something that he couldn't sense. He didn't have enough time to react because it was already too close when it came out of the silver and dark purple light before him.
He saw at the last moment that it was Jack. Jack crashed into him with a Flame Strike. He reeled from the impact.
"Grahh... You truly have something else in store," Satan growled.
He was about to strike back when he sensed someone else coming at him from his flank. A flaming buckler formed in his hand. He swung it at this newcomer. The buckler blocked and sent the newcomer flying away at the same time. He saw then it was another outworlder, a female.
'How did these two survive my Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction...?' He wondered.
Jack didn't give him the time to ponder. Jack came before him again. They were both out of big skills, so they were now battling only using their base abilities.
"So, you also hid a lackey," Satan said as his flaming buckler transformed into a cleaver.
"Don't lump me in with you who play dirty," Jack said as he dodged the cleaver. He sent a Nine Yin Phantom Sword while dodging. "She is a friend, and she is here out of her own accord!"
The Nine Yin Phantom Sword stabbed into Satan's eye. Without seeing, he couldn't tell where Jack was since Jack was using mana concealment. He then felt a strong impact in his lower jaw. Jack gave Satan an uppercut using Flame Strike. Satan backstepped a few times from the blow. If both sides had no buff, Satan's attributes would be much higher than Jack's. However, Jack was fast, and he was small. It was harder for Satan to hit Jack than for Jack to hit the devil. Jack also had mana concealment, which increased the difficulty much further. As long as Jack was careful, the advantage was his.
Grace came at Satan again from behind. Grace didn't have the advantage of mana concealment, so her ambush was useless. Still, she caused Satan to divide his attention, further reducing the pressure on Jack. Her Seraphic Possession was still on cooldown from her battle with Belphegor, but her Angelic Possession was available. She activated that skill.
Satan's flaming weapon split into dual curved swords. He swung these swords at his two adversaries. At the same time, he cast a fast spell. A fire ring radiated out of him. The flames hit his two opponents.
Grace had high defenses, so her survivability didn't lose to Jack. She was not in danger. She used Divine Aura, healing herself and Jack. The skill also improved their stats and recoveries. With Grace around, Peniel could take a breather. Jack could also afford to be more aggressive, keeping Satan on his toes so he couldn't utilize his self-recovery.
When the two seemed to be winning, Jack sensed something. His mana sense was broader than what a normal person possessed. He cast Wind Jet and zoomed to where Grace was. He grabbed Grace, and they moved away just before a black hole appeared.
Jack used War God's Stare. The golden rays struck something invisible, which turned visible after getting hit. It was the eyeball demon, Dajja.
Dajja's HP bar was half empty. He suffered enormous damage when he was hit by Satan's Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction, but he managed to flee the area using a skill, Space Warp. It was a skill similar to the Teleportation spell. This skill let him teleport a further distance than Teleportation. It also didn't need a casting time but had a longer cooldown time.
After surviving the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction, Dajja used Optic Veil to turn invisible before approaching to ambush the enemies.
"I'll deal with him," Grace said.
Dajja was a level 99 eternal grade. Though not as strong as the other devils despite having a higher level, he was the most powerful among demons. Even so, Grace was not to be underestimated. After defeating Belphegor, Grace's level had increased. She was now level 99
as well.
"Don't get cocky, outworlder," Dajja said after hearing Grace's remark.
His huge eyeball glowed. A distortion of space occurred right in front of him. All of a sudden, a large group of fifty demons appeared there.
Despite being the most powerful demon, Dajja didn't like to get his hands dirty. He preferred
to let others do the job. He had a magic clone spell, which he used before casting Space Lock. He sent this clone to the battling armies. He had an eye skill called the Spatial Transference Gaze. This skill teleported objects inside a limited area within his field of view.
His field of view included his original eye and the clone's eye. Hence, he could transfer the demons from the battlefield to this place.
"Get her," Dajja commanded the demons he had just summoned.
"You should be the ones who shouldn't be cocky, demon!" Grace returned. She pointed her mace into the sky, which turned bright.
A melodious hymn was heard from above. This hymn was soothing at first, but it quickly turned threatening in a heartbeat. With the change of the tune, the sky darkened. Everyone stopped fighting and observed this unusual phenomenon.
Without warning, an earsplitting gong boomed. Following the deafening sound, the dark sky split. A well of bright light pierced down from heaven. Millions of shooting stars swam within this well of light. The place this well of light shone on was where Jack and Satan were.
