Chapter 282 - New And Powerful Foes Emerge

-----

BOOOOMMM!!!

Belphegor flew into one of the spaceships and made it explode in an instant! Filling it up with flames like he had once did against the other spaceship from the Heralds of Light! The flames consumed it all as he unleashed his blazing fury, he pushed down the exploding spaceship away, throwing it into the nearby swamp so it wouldn't fill over the people below.

SPLASH!!!

"QUICKLY BRING THEM OUT!"

However, Belphegor and everyone else that flew into the sky suddenly heard the scream of a frustrated young man!

He screamed to bring them out! But what, exactly?!

Belphegor, Abyss, Ifrit, Yuki, and Boxxy then realized it!

Massive beasts emerged from the other 13 spaceships, as one was thrown off by Belphegor on his blazing charge!

Belphegor noticed these beasts and so did the other four with him. These creatures were not normal! They exuded the power that Abyss had pointed out, the power of the Forbidden One's fragment!

However, these were not true fragments, they were made out of materials extracted from them, Belphegor had seen creations made with such materials firsthand from his lord's craft, but he had never seen them made by others! But compared to his lord's Red Star, these ones looked like mass-produced units, they were not as refined.

Nonetheless, they were strong, and attacked their targets straight away!

A few of them ended escaping their grasp, whatsoever, but Belphegor, Abyss, Yuki, Boxxy, and Ifrit caught their targets in time, some of them deciding to fight two at the same time and luring them to their range.

"You two, come and confront me!" roared Belphegor. The two monstrous winged beasts looked at him, one of them looked like a grotesque manticore, and the other, like a feather-winged monkey with the head of a snake… they were truly quite the horrendous chimera.

"My lord would like to tame them, they look interesting, but I guess there's no point in trying to do that now! You all shall die a swift death by my flames!"

Belphegor rushed forward against the two monsters in a flash of exploding flames, resembling a blazing meteor more than a floating blazing skull! His entire body then clashed against the manticore-shaped monster!

CLASH!

"GRAAO!"

The manticore roared angrily as its giant monstrous claws grew even larger, slashing through Belphegor's flames and reaching his body, leaving large wounds over his bone.

SLASH! SLASH!

"Unngh…! S-So strong! They're being buffed by some sort of spell or ability!" thought Belphegor, quickly realizing that Faringer was the culprit behind such a thing! He had actually utilized his special Unique Skill: Lord's Authority, which granted any being below his authority a great increase on its stats! This was why he wasn't a good fighter himself and was given a lot of servants, his specialization was boosting large amounts of troops!

Belphegor clashed against the Manticore once more, unleashing a barrage of explosive flames against it, the Manticore roared angrily, opening its jaws and unleashing a dark beam of chaos and darkness against him!

BOOM!!!

"Unngh…! D-Damn cat!" roared Belphegor, as he gritted the teeth of his skull, his bones began to slowly shatter! His bones were not near as strong to resist these blows, and it wasn't because he was missing calcium or something, these beasts had their stats multiplied by x5 through the power of Faringer! Making them formidable in raw power alone.

"GRYSHA!"

And to make it worse, the snake-headed winged monkey reached Belphegor from behind, its gigantic fists began to clash against his skull, as he quickly escaped its blows by unleashing a massive explosion of flames against it!

BOOOOM!!!

"GRYYYY!"

The creature groaned agonizingly, its flesh was burned alive, but Belphegor quickly noticed it began to recover at an insane rate! He noticed a glowing red core on its center glowing brightly, and emanating an eerie light, this powerful core boosted the regeneration of this beast…

The monstrous Manticore didn't let Belphegor abuse it, kicking him down!

BOOM!

"Nnngh…! I have to go all out I believe!" said Belphegor. He gathered the power of flames and his divinity of fire all across his entire blazing skull body, the eye sockets quickly fused into a single one, as a glowing red core inside his skull emerged, blazing with flames!

"RAAAA!"

He opened his monstrous jaws angrily, as his glowing orb of fire released a massive beam, as if he was a cyclops!

TRUUUUUMMM!!!

The powerful beam clashed against the Manticore, throwing it down into the ground in an instant, and burning through its entire flesh in the process! The beast groaned in agony as it fought back against the fire with its darkness, however, it was already burning too much.

"HAH!"

FLASH!

He quickly conjured a curse over the beast's burning body, its regeneration had suddenly been inhibited, and the flames were burning more and more over its body!

"GRRYYYEEEAAAAAEEHH…!"

BOOM!!!

The massive Manticore exploded while being in midair, its entire body fell into pieces, it was dead!

The other beast, the snake-headed one, wasn't just standing and glaring at Belphegor, Abyss had actually emerged right at Belphegor's side, taking care of it while fighting another beast herself, the satyr-like monster, she was using her unique composition to evade their blows and entangle their bodies tightly!

"Spatial Tear!"

Abyss broke through space with a slashing attack of her claw-shaped slime mass, the snake-headed beast fell for the attack easily as space tore apart right where it was, its entire body suddenly was sliced in half!

SLASH!

"GRRYYAAAHH…!"

The lower half fell over the floor, while the upper half remained alive and kicking- well, not anymore as it lacked legs.

Meanwhile, the satyr was trying to take out Abyss who was entangling its entire body.

"Stay quiet!" she said, clashing against the monstrous being with countless of tentacles hitting its body, the blows were powerful, and she unleashed several space attribute blows with it, the combination of physical damage and space magic made it so she was able to break space a bit, such damage was also shared to the beast, its entire body was being filled with holes!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
