Chapter 486 485: Got Exposed.

"Glen! Where's Roxanne?!" Asmond hopped off the humvee and looked at Glen who had been staring at the Demon Lord.

"She's currently investigating the Demon Lord that's coming toward us from District Four. I'm in charge here while thinking of a way to defeat this skeleton," Glen watched as Arum, Silas, and Rufus jumped off the humvee.

"Give me the details, and it looks like you already managed to stop that Demon Lord from advancing," Asmond looked at the Demon Lord that had fully recovered.

Glen explained everything to them about the Demon Lord's powers and weaknesses. They understood the situation and knew it was troublesome because of the power that could destroy and swallow everything with his shadow.

"I guess I will go and try it myself since my sword is different from the others," Asmond looked at the sword in his right hand.

They all nodded with understanding and let Asmond deal with the Demon Lord himself.

They all watched Asmond run toward the Demon Lord and when he was in range, he swung his sword downward. The Demon Lord didn't move and took the blow which surprised Asmond because something felt odd about him. Although the Demon Lord blocked his attack with his hands, the bones shattered into pieces and a black mist came out.

"Asmond watch out!" Glen shouted.

Asmond took a step back and watched the mist regenerate the Demon Lord's bones. He realized the bones were too sturdy even for his sword to be able to destroy the Demon Lord's body in a single attack.

"Something is fishy about him. That demon didn't move his body at all even though knowing his life might be in danger," Asmond took a few steps back.

"Yeah, I thought about it as well. It's as if the demon is trying to protect something," Glen nodded in agreement as he rubbed his chin. "Maybe there's something underneath that he wants to protect?" Glen tilted his head and raised his eyebrow.

Asmond and Glen immediately looked at each other because they both thought the same thing. They both then readied their stances while Silas, Rufus, and Arum looked at them with confused looks.

They both charged toward the Demon Lord, and instead of attacking him with their swords, they both pushed their legs and kicked him. The Demon Lord was knocked back and suddenly the shadow that was underneath him started to wobble. The shadow didn't disappear even though it got exposed to the light.

Asmond lit his sword with fire and slashed the shadow that was detached from the Demon Lord. As soon as he cut it with fire magic, the Demon Lord's body started to make a rattling sound and staggered.

"Rufus, Silas, Arum! Go and kill that skeleton!" Asmond said as he stabbed the shadow.

Not even a second after Asmond said that, the three of them ran past him with their weapons ready. The three of them started to break all the bones and there wasn't a single dark mist coming out of his bone. Both Asmond and Glen were convinced that it had something to do with the shadow on the ground.

Asmond kept pressing his sword into the ground as he made the flame stronger and fiercer. He then cast a fire blast on the ground to do more damage to the shadow. His effort paid off and the shadow had gone with nothing left on the ground except the burn mark.

"What's that? Did you just struggle to fight that Demon Lord? It's so easy to kill," Rufus scoffed as he looked at Glen.

"No, it's easy because he's in our world, but if we are in his world, who knows where we are going to fight him? If it's a place with not a single source of light, we are going to die before even we try," Asmond shook his head as he pulled his sword from the ground. "We still have two more Demon Lords to take care of, let's hurry and see what Roxanne is doing," Asmond sheathed his sword and walked away.

A soldier came and informed Asmond of what had happened to Roxanne. He told them that Roxanne was currently dealing with the Demon Lord in District 4 and that she wasn't alone. The soldier mentioned that Enma from the Guild Association was helping her and suddenly all the Awakeners changed their attention to the soldier.

Glen, Arum, and Silas glanced to the sides and thought it was bad that Enma was mentioned. Words would spread so easily and Mykel would hear about it before they knew it. Asmond then told everyone to keep it a secret, and that was the only thing he could do at that moment.

After that, they all went to District 4 to help Enma and Roxanne.

On their way to District 4, they saw helicopters that didn't belong to the military. Asmond panicked when those were reporters and they were going to District 4. He then asked the soldier to contact the General that all the Districts should be restricted to the public.

It was already too late because the reporters were recording a live feed that everyone could watch on TV. Glen showed his phone to Asmond and saw Enma and Roxanne struggling. For some reason, Enma was holding her left shoulder and realized her shoulder was swollen badly.

"She got invested," The soldier looked at the news on Glen's phone.

The Insatiable Flies' saliva contained a dangerous germ that whenever they bit something, they left their saliva. Those germs if made a contact with flesh, they would start reacting and turn themselves into maggots that would eat the flesh until they turned themselves into Insatiable Flies. That was why nobody dared to go to District 4 and let the fighter jets deal with those.

(In District 4)

"You have to cut it now," Enma looked at Roxanne with a pained expression. "I heard enough, and we both know it's the only way. I can ask Gunnar to heal me after this," Enma frowned and kept looking Roxanne in the eye.

Roxanne gritted her teeth and then cut off Enma's left arm.

Enma held her scream, but the smell of blood made the Insatiable Flies know where they were. They both had no other option but to keep running away as the helicopters tried to follow them.

"Looks like we managed to attract their attention, including their queen," Roxanne looked over her shoulder and saw the Demon Lord crawl with her babies flying behind her. "Hey, Enma. I'm sorry that it ended up like this," Roxanne looked at Enma who tried to stop the bleeding.

"There's no need, I was prepared for this kind of situation. I just have to be prepared when Mykel found out about this," Enma chuckled and groaned in pain.

They both kept running and the soldier informed Roxanne through the radio that Asmond and the others were about to enter District 4. They both felt a bit of relief that finally, the reinforcements had arrived, and the fighter jets had finally come back after they reloaded their ammunition.

While they were running away, something fell down in front of them and knocked both of them down because of the shockwave. Their eyes were covered in dust, and when they opened their eyes, they were petrified when they saw Mykel standing in front of them and looked at them with a sharp gaze.

"What's the meaning of this, Miss Enma?" Mykel asked and he sounded so pissed that both of them were trembling in fear even though Enma knew it was just an act. "Seems like you borrowed a lot of Artifacts from the treasury as well," Mykel looked at the necklace and the rings.

An Insatiable Fly flew toward Mykel, but he grabbed its head and crushed it without even trying.

"Stay right there and don't move a muscle," Mykel walked past them.

Mykel looked up at the sky and squinted his eyes. He could see the asteroids that were orbiting Earth. He then used [Telekinesis] and brought one down as fast as he could. Before the Demon Lord could get close to them, the asteroid hit the ground and the impact flattened a quarter of the city. All the helicopters got hit by the shockwave and fell to the ground.

Mykel created a wind barrier to prevent the shockwave from hitting them, so they were safe.

"Now, explain to me why are you here, Miss Enma," Mykel looked down at Enma with a cold expression.
