Chapter 758 Realizing Their Err

Phoenix's flames slowly went from orange to blue as she poured some purified mana into it, which she had been condensing for a while. She still couldn't use Aether, but her refinement technique was on point.

Astaroth had already pulled out Luna, White, and Morpheus. Unfortunately, he couldn't pull out Geminae for some reason.This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★

But it didn't matter for now. He had other things he could use.

"Hell's Descent, First Layer; Avernus Rising!" he shouted, extending his hand.

Soon after, Astaroth erupted in black flames again, like the last time he used it. However, he knew what was happening this time and saw the portal ripping open.

He watched as each of the eight demons casually walked out of the hell portal, starting to look at their surroundings. When Paimon walked out, the portal closed behind her, and she immediately spun toward Astaroth and Phoenix in mid-air.

The demons had no trouble staying afloat in the sky, by some unknown means, and looked like they were walking on solid ground.

"Master Astaroth! How happy I am that you summoned me!" Paimon exclaimed, taking a few steps toward Astaroth.

She paused after three steps, turning her head to Phoenix.

"You too, hottie. I couldn't wait to see you again. Let's have some fun this time, okay?"

Phoenix low growled at her, the flames around her hands burning brighter.

"Focus on the fight, whore of a demon. We don't have time to play around."

To drive her point home, the Ent below them, whose body almost reached them in the sky, released the mother of all growls, the air itself shaking in the bassy vibrations of its voice.

Paimon's face turned sour.

She spun to look at the oversized walking tree and hissed.

"You're interrupting my flirting, you dumb guardian! I'll burn you alive for this!" she spat between her closed teeth.

Astaroth had already begun ignoring her and charged in with his soul companions.

Pulling out the Ad Astra, he felt like a fitting weapon to fight this abomination had to be an axe, so he transformed the weapon into a greataxe, taking a mighty swing at one of its roots.

The axe lodged in deep, making wood shrapnel fly off in every direction as he pulled it out. A large gash was left in the root, but it wasn't severed.

The giant tree entity didn't even register his attack as Astaroth stared at the damage number.

This caused the Ent to focus on her, significantly reducing the pressure she was applying. But scanning the Ent again, Astaroth gulped.

They had been fighting for over a minute while he was thinking, and they had shaved away only a single percent of his health.

And he could already imagine that Phoenix had done the most of that percentage. Without her constantly attacking, they would never win.

To make matters worse, Phoenix's mana bar was already down to half, from what Astaroth could see in the party window. This debuff was seriously screwing her over.

"I need to do something. We can't win this at this rate..."

Astaroth could see red dots appearing on his radar, meaning the treants from the forest had finally reached them. This already hopeless battle was about to turn into a bloody nightmare.

"I can't hesitate," Astaroth mumbled, his eyes going cold.

Astaroth called Morpheus back and melded with him before launching into the sky.

Phoenix almost panicked as she saw him launching straight up, wondering where he was going. But she trusted him not to run away.

As he flew up, Astaroth closed his eyes. He muttered inside his mind.

'Keep us safe and in the sky, Morpheus. I trust you.'

And his senses went blank.

He was back in the white room.
