Chapter 100: The Seven Reapers, Testing Battle Power

.......

"So, who are those shadows waiting outside the cave abode, Azmo?"

The pretty voice of a voluptuous dragon woman resounded as she looked to the cultivating man for answers.

"..." Azmodeus slightly opened up one of his eyes, only to see the dragon girl in an extremely lewd position, as her shirt might as well not have been there with how far back she was leaning on a nearby leather couch.

Nonetheless, he decided to teach her a lesson about decency later, as right now, those stalking figures were approaching the cave's entrance with no concern about whether their presence's were made known.

Are they not Assassin's...?

But if they aren't Assassins and they know of my approximate strength, then that must mean they're quite confident in their chances, huh?

He analyzed the situation with a discerning glint in his eyes as he got up from his lotus position and walked in the direction of the entrance.

After making it a few steps outside, he was greeted with the sight of eight figures, all of whom tried not the slightest bit to keep themselves hidden.

"You all are...?"

*Thud! Thud!*

The largest of the cloaked figures walked out of the group, carrying some form of black hammer-axe that was nearly three times his already enormous size!

"I am the Iron Death Reaper of the Eight Reapers that hunt in the daylight, and we have come here to take your life on orders of the Ice Goddess Sect's Sixth Grand Elder, Second Grand Elder, and Third Grand Elder!"

Azmodeus stared blankly at the man who gave away quite literally everything.

"Are you stupid or something?" He questioned with a disdainful look on his face.

"What did you say, boy!? You think I'm stupid for telling you what I did, don't you!? But what you don't know is that I have complete confidence in killing you the moment you act up!"

The Iron Death Reaper took a step back as he unleashed his full strength, resulting in his shirt being blasted into another universe!

And along with it was everything in a one hundred trillion-mile radius!

Or at least, that was what should've happened, but the moment he tried something like that, Azmodeus tapped his blade handle a little bit.

SHING!

He was a tall man with a goatee, wearing some sort of funny-looking top hat, and he was in the 9th Stage of the Tribulation Transcendance Realm.

"Why is it only one of you? I feel like it would be wiser if you all fought me at the same time," Azmodeus said.

"There is no need for all that. After all, I am not like the Iron Death Reaper and am ranked within the top 4 of the Reaper Brigade, and my name is the Darkened Reaper!"

BOOM!

Following the words of the cloaked man, he jumped forward with all his strength, resulting in a corner of the mountain collapsing in on itself!

Azmodeus had to stop the force that was released by the Reaper's feet from spreading, as he used his comprehensions of the Time Rune in order to slow the damage down a bit.

After which, he muttered, "Can you not destroy my home so carelessly?"

"What need do you have for a home when you're about to die...?"

The Darkened Reaper's voice reached the Crimson Devil Lord's ears as he phased right next to his body at utterly insane speeds!

A malicious glow flashed past his eyes as his face blurred, putting all his momentum into a sideways spinning kick capable of toppling entire Solar Systems!

Azmodeus swiveled his apathetic gaze in the direction of the incoming kick as he simply...

Backed up a little.

"!!!" The Darkened Reaper wasn't able to stop his own attack, as his legs were already in the middle of a devastating move.

So in response to this plight of the Darkened Reaper, Azmodeus grabbed his flying kick and swung him around in circles a countless number of times before throwing him up to the stars!

SHING!

He touched his sword a little as an insanely deadly sword arc was unleashed from the sharp edge of a blade that couldn't be seen with the naked eye!

WHIZZ!

The Sword Arc blitzed through the skies at speeds bordering on meteoric stardom as it rapidly approached the shooting star-like figure of the Darkened Reaper!

"NOoOoo...!!!"

His screams echoed across the vast blue blanket above as countless clouds were sliced and diced up in quick succession before, just like them, his body was dispersed from the world of the living...
