Chapter 113 - Malevolent
There were too many unknowns with this new intruder, so Gremory activated multiple skills as he focused on the beast. [Sweet Talker] and [Unveiler] were activated as his magnetic voice rang out.
"Now who might our new friend b-"
!!!
BOOM!
Not even a second was given for his words to finish as the primal spirits felt a threat and pushed themselves in front of their master to stop a frighteningly cold sword. The destructive cold energies wrecked the area as the white-furred beast was pushed back. Gremory was now full of anger as this newcomer showed such blatant disrespect.
"You fumbling beast, you don't even have basic manners?!"
Gremory was fully enraged as a beautiful play had been ruined. He had set it up for so long, and now it was all up in flames because of some beast. The faces of despair had already begun appearing, and he wanted to bring the father and son close to one another and watch what they would say.
Would the father show hatred and disappointment to the son he loved for the downfall of their kingdom? Would the son be apologetic as he realized he had been tricked into poisoning his own father for nothing? All of these things he wanted to see, but now they were all gone.
'Ah, things can never go the way I want!'
As he watched the other newcomers, especially the man with golden wings that was healing countless beings from the kingdom's forces as if it was nothing, he knew he had to finish off this beast quickly.
As he was thinking, the beast was already clashing with one of the primal spirits. He was actually holding his own against a LEGENDARY spirit as the storm of ice elements caused freezing cold to acc.u.mulate on the body of the [Blue Manticore] while its stinger parried the freezing blade.
'Hmph, you think one puny beast can stand against a Demon King?'
The enraged Gremory sent the command for the other primal spirit to join the fight as he placed his hand on his left chest.
'Since you ruined such a perfect play, I'll use you for my entertainment and see if I can observe those same faces of despair'
Multiple runic circles had appeared on Gremory's chest as he saw the white beast gradually be pushed back against the force of two legendary beasts. It seemed that just the primal beasts would be enough to take the white-furred sword-wielding beast down, but he still wanted to make this newcomer despair some more.
The hand on his chest sunk in as he felt his own beating heart, and a guttural scream came out from his mouth as one of the demon's unique abilities, Abyss Magic, was used.
"LIMIT...BREAK!"
OOOOONG!
A pillar of red shining light shot through the skies and then blindingly spread throughout the surroundings. When this light died down, the beings fighting could see that high in the skies, the Demon King had transformed!
Gorgeous black wings erupted from his back as two powerful horns extended from both sides of his head. A slithering long tail erupted behind him as his body also continued to expand, quickly becoming more than five meters. His body let out crazy levels of power as the red light died down. A stifling pressure was pressing down on everyone in the surroundings as if the whole world was falling on them. This was the pressure from [Demon King's Haki]!
The terrible power shown above made many people afraid, but the nearly 10-meter tall sword-wielding beast looked at this scene...as his eyes seemed to shine a dangerous light. The [Sigil of Hegemony] he had cast as soon as he arrived had already run out and he was waiting to cast it again, yet his defenses were still firm as he pushed off the enemies in the skies.
The primal spirits that were constantly damaging his [Bear Emperor's Hide] and smashing into the sword saint incarnation were not able to notice the dangerous light that shone in his eyes as the man hidden at the center of the large incarnation looked longingly to the Demon King, as if he wanted to consume the entire demon whole.

Noah had finally met the demons that were the true culprits behind much of the destruction that occurred in his homeworld. The first thing he did after recognizing the [Mephitic Turtles] he had fought before in the Blessed Empire was to send numerous [Icebergs] their way.
The next thing after that was him sending a command to the fifteen EPIC beasts at the central area of the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land, and then releasing them to the outside world.
Many of them were still weakened with their origins eaten up, but they were still EPIC beasts holding powerful strength. They were the easiest to send commands to with their high ranks, so only these 15 beasts were let out of the Spiritual Land.
They would help to reinforce the Frozen Kingdom's forces against the demons while the Holy Blight that had taken the appearance of a graceful holy saint through the use of [Two Faced] worked to heal and covertly caused even more chaos in the battlefield through the use of [Zombie Master]. Seeing the ferocious green zombies running below him rampantly gave way to many ideas and possibilities.
After attacking the Demon King with extreme speed, two summoned beasts began pursuing him in the skies. The [Blue Manticores] he continued to clash against were genuine LEGENDARY beasts, every single one of their strikes with the deadly stingers pushing him back and dealing heavy damage that he quickly worked to heal.
The connection with [Summon Holy Blight] was extremely strong, and he continued to receive constant heals and buffs as his large incarnation became damaged. When [Sigil of Hegemony] became inactive, he wanted to test how he fared against genuine LEGENDARY with the usage of his EPIC skills, but it seemed just that alone was not enough to bridge the gap.
He was ready to activate the LEGENDARY skill as soon as the cooldown ended and start fighting back with heavy attacks once more when the situation changed, and the Demon King underwent a rapid transformation. The creature to appear at the end of it was a ferocious winged demon that nearly reached his incarnation's size.
The thick red arms of the demons were raised high as pulsating pillars of flames appeared on his palms roaring to the skies, a malevolent smile came on the demon's face as a powerful voice rang out.
"I'm gonna skin you alive and use your fur as a f.u.c.k.i.n.g rag."
