Soon time passed, and while the demon gods' discussion had become extremely heated
The 567th floor in question was not too far behind in its level of intensity.
Just look at the current situation of the war, Eleoc couldn't help but think of a popular show he watched when he lived on the blue star.
Back then, a tv show asked three famous scientists and philosophers what was the greatest driving force in mankind's history.
And while the audience kept spouting answers like knowledge, love, and so on, to everyone's surprise, the there scientists gave the same answer
War!
According to them, behind each of mankind's advancement, war was the most important factor
Be it the civil war that took place within countries to gain their independence, or the world war that practically increased the level of civilization a few notches once it took place
Just hearing their answers, although the young Elric could fully understand why they all gave such an answer
After experiencing firsthand the current war that was taking place in the abyss, and the one that happened before with the generals
Elruc hand unknowingly comes to the same conclusion as them, and that is none other than that war is necessary if a society as a whole wants to continue to develop
Thinking of this, Elric decided to launch another series of conquests once he returned back to Hogwarts
However, before he could do that have had to at least escape from the abyss alive
Now the war had reached a red-hot stage, and unfortunately, the blood ruby was showing no signs of appearing
It was even to the point where Elric was beginning to contemplate summoning the abyss gate and going back to Hogwarts
However considering all the effort he had put in till now, Elric gritt his teeth deciding to follow through to the end
"Don't worry master, I'm sure everything will work out in the end"
"However, I think we need to find a better hiding spot"
Sitting on top of Elric's head Ava tried to console him while letting him know of their current situation
According to her senses, any moment from now their location would be discovered by the incoming abyss demons.
Fortunately, although he was a bit disappointed by the way things turned out at the moment
Elric himself wasn't yet irritated to the point where he would ignore Ava's words
Not only that, he too had begun to sense the incoming danger. Obviously, their location had been compromised.
"Yeah Ava you're right, let's mo-!"
*Boom!*
Cutting off Elric's words, a large explosion suddenly sounded interrupting his words. Obviously, it was too late
*Bang!*
And with one final explosion, the cave where Ellric was completely exploded revealing a set of burly figures.
...........
[A few minutes ago]
Leading his army through the unrelenting horde of abyss demons, Baphomet could be said to have completely changed
His horns grew thicker wrapping round his head to form a crown, his height taller, and his aura denser.
If anyone who knew him before saw his current figure, it would be unexpected if they questioned his identity
However, Ginoress who had been with Baphomet throughout his journey knew the source of his change
Evolution!
Yes, evolution, and a rapid one at that. Being with Baphomet since before the chaos, Ginoress could be said t be the one person who witnessed all his changes
From the irrational floor lord, he was before, to the demon duke he was now, Ginoress even told herself she wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly became an abyss demon prince.
And as for becoming a demon god? Just kidding! If it was so easy to become an abyss demon God then they wouldn't only be twelve in existence
If it was so easy to become an abyss demon god, then at this moment the whole abyss wouldn't be on the verge of collapse due to a drop of blood
Thinking of this, although surprised by Baphomet's changes, Ginoresss knew he was still an ant compared to her lord Asmodeus
After all, the gap between the demon god and prince is farther than the distance between the earth and the sky
Just thinking of her lord's unparalleled might ignores began to twist and turn with pleasure
However, thinking of the constant black figure that she had begun to see around Baphomet lately, Ginoress couldn't help but get a bad feeling.
Unfortunately, before she could think much about it, Baphomet's voice suddenly sounded interrupting her train of thoughts
"Her Ginoress, get yourself together, I think we've finally caught up to that damn human"
"If anything, according to my senses he should be hiring right in this cave!"
Thinking of the shame Elric had giving him before, as well as the secrets he might be holding
Although angry, a bit of ecstasy had begun to rise in Baphomet heart as he pointed toward the cave a head
Finally reaching his goal, Baphomet who had been cool-headed and calm throughout most of the war finally couldn't hold it.
So at the cost of disregarding his fatigue, Baphomet immediately began to launch a series of strikes on the cave with nothing but pure strength alone
Thankfully, Baphomet who had already been promoted to duke level had a monstrous amount of strength compared to his former self.
To the point where moving and shattering mountains with his bare arms were nothing but pediatrics to the current him.
Perhaps this was the reason why he launched an attack on Elric's cave without thinking too much
*boom!*
*boom!*
*boom!*
And with that, accompanied by a series of vibrations and explosions, Elric's cave and current hideout began to crumble under his relentless attacks
And unfortunately for Elric, the cave in question didn't seem to be a particularly strong one
Just judging from its state, it soon looked like would last another punchjdjjd
And Baphomet soon proved this feeling right
*bang!*
Concentrating his hand on his right fist, Baphomet directly broke the cave with a single punch revealing Elrics figure.
