"I think we should kill that magical girl."
Amon joined in their conversation.
"Magical girl?" Aries raised one eyebrow. "You mean... Paimon?"
Paimon, a young woman wearing a pink dress with a star wand. She seemed to be floating behind Gavin with a cute smile. Although she looked like a child, she was a noble demon who was ranked 10th. She was an earl.
"Yeah... the first demon to get rid of is that woman. She's like a nuisance fly, really annoying," Alyna replied, slightly annoyed.
"So cute," added Amon.
The goat-headed demon shook his head as he heard his companion's out-of-context comment.
"Let's change the plan," said Aries. "Lady Alyna, you go after Lord Gavin again. Amon, we both attack Lord Agrias. He's quite passive in battle. Not moving much, just relying on Lady Paimon's buff. Seeing Agrias being ganged up on by two people, she will naturally focus on Lord Agrias. When the opportunity arises, Amon will execute Lady Paimon."
"Lady Paimon, huh." Amon quipped. "At a time like this you still call the enemy by the name honorifi?"
"And you're also still complaining over trivial matters?"
The male demon smiled wryly. Meanwhile, Alyna seemed to be ignoring them. That demonesse's attention was still focused on her main enemy, Duke Gavin.
Alyna hissed to her two companions, they also turned their attention to her.
"Here we go."
The duchess darted toward Gavin. The silver-haired demon quickly soared into the air, along with Earl Paimon.
Meanwhile, Amon and Aries attacked the enemy tanker, Agrias.
Clank
The sound of metal clashing echoed above their heads. Alyna and Gavin confronted.
Seeing that the battle between the dukes had begun, Aries gave instructions to his partner.
"You attack first from the front!"
"I already know!" Amon replied. The male demon shot out like an arrow. His burly hands held the axe tightly above his head, then slashed at it.
The blue-furred lion demon that was his target seemed to raise his shield to block the attack.
Not long after, a second clash of metal echoed.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
With brute force, Amon swung the axe in various directions. From the side, front, head, feet; but each of his attacks was blocked by the shield.
He tried to spin around, aiming for Agrias' back. However, that demon spun quickly, making it difficult for Amon to strike at the enemy's blind spot.
"Damn it! You fucking turtle!"
Amon changed his attack pattern.
He took a few steps back. A flame flashed out of the axe, then he slammed it into the ground.
Bam!
A loud bang echoed throughout the hall. The ground cracked, and the cracks were lit up.
Agrias' pupils seemed to dilate. Not long after, a huge fire engulfed his body.
Wuuuuzzzzzz!
"Hahaha eat that!"
The huge fire caught the attention of Gavin in midair who was fighting with Alyna.
"Lord, should I help Agrias?"
The magical girl, Paimon, seemed to be waiting for an answer from the boss with large pupils.
"That flame wasn't enough to kill him. But, his opponent is the Earl. Paimon... you help him."
The pink-haired girl smiled cutely. "Yes, Lord!"
Just as the magical girl descended to help Agrias, a large schyth swiftly shot towards him.
Sling!
The swing was so fast that the wind whistled, almost hitting Gavin in the neck. The silver-haired demon managed to dodge just in time.
"Looking away when there's an enemy in front of you. You are so careless, Lord Gavin."
The red-haired Duchess grinned with a dismissive look. Gavin took a deep breath, without speaking he quickly attacked back Alna.
He swung his sword like a snake. The sword moved as fast, leaving a blue line in the air. Gavin didn't give the duchess a chance to breathe.
Those attacks made Alyna have a hard time.
Of course, the duchess did not stay still. She chanted lightning magic, a ball of electricity wrapped around her body. As a result, whenever Gavin was about to land his sword on her, the voltage instantly struck him.
Their battle was evenly matched.
On the other hand, the battle below looked different.
"Hahaha!"
Amon laughed loudly as he watched the huge flames devour Agrias. However, the laughter quickly vanished when the flames died out.
A large chunk of rock appeared to stand firmly. The rock shattered, and a blue wolf-shaped demon appeared. There was not a single large burn on him.
Agrias was untouched by the flames.
Paimon landed down. She chanted an incantation, then light surrounded Agrias' body.
"Tch!"
Failing to burn the enemy, Amon stomped his axe. The goat-headed demon landed at his side, a sour look on its face.
"I told you. Follow my plan. You just did what you wanted. Now look... Agrias has gotten a buff," Aries said, a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"That doesn't matter. We're killing the magical gilr. Not that furry."
Aries raised one eyebrow. "What did you say?"
"Do as planned." Amon shot off at high speed, once again attacking Agrias.
Aries sighed and shook his head. He quickly caught up with her partner who was advancing alone.
"Hya!"
BAM!
A loud bang echoed, for the umpteenth time, Amon slammed his axe straight into Agrias' shield. He swung it a thousand times.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Although the axe was swung with all his might, Agrias did not seem to budge an inch. The lion demon did not move from his position.
After getting the buff from Paimon, Agrias was like a solid iron wall. He wasn't collapse and invincible.
"Are you stupid... Is this the limit of your power?"
The sarcasm came out of Agrias' mouth. Of course, Amon was not happy to hear it. However, he could only swallow his own saliva. Because attacking Agrias was no longer his goal.
"Oh, yeah?" replied Amon with a smirk on his face.
Agrias seemed to squint.
Suddenly, a blow landed on that demon's face.
pan,da-n0v el,c,m BAM!
"KEEEUGG!"
Agrias was pushed a few meters away, then Aries came in with a flurry of punches.
"Mudamudamudamudamuda!"
Aries launched thousands of punches at the lion demon's body. Stomach, chest, shoulders, face, shoulders; not a single part of the body escaped his deadly blows.
Bam! Bam!
Aries' eyes opened wide.
"You're surprised, huh?"
Agrias catched both Aries's hands.
The goat-headed demon quickly pulled them away, but his hands could not move. Agrias's grip was too strong.
"No need to panic. I'll kill you quickly. A goat dares to fight a lion? Hehe..."
Agrias's face turned hideous. His lips were wide open, sharp fangs dripping saliva. The look in his eyes said the quarry had been caught.
At first glance, they were like lions pouncing on a goat.
However, Aries grins back.
"Is that so?"
Agrias' attention was diverted. He noticed that Paimon was being attacked heavily by Amon.
The pink-haired woman seemed to be struggling to avoid the swinging axe. Her breathing was labored, her body covered in scratches.
"Agrias! Help Paimon!" Gavin's voice echoed through the air.
"Asshole!"
The lion demon left Aries, and he quickly darted to help his partner. Of course, Aries didn't stay still.
"You thought I'd let you!"
The goat-headed demon caught up with him.
With his bare hands, Agrias pounced Amon from behind. Sharp nails came out of his finger.
"Damn it!" Amon was startled. He quickly changed the target of the attack.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Splat!
"Keguh!"
His axe too heavy, Amon was slow to parry Agrias' swift attacks. Like a wild lion, that demon attacked him relentlessly until his entire body was covered in scratch marks.
"You beast!"
Aries came over, helping his partner. Now, it was Aries and Agrias who fighting.
Amon took this opportunity to retreat and drink a bottle of potion. So did Paimon. The magical girl casted a recovery magic spell for herself.
Seeing that his partner was safe, Aries quickly retreated.
"Plan failed."
"Needless to say I already knew," Amon grumbled back. "Now, what's our plan?"
Aries looked dark. Exhaustion made it difficult to think. Their opponents had also recovered. The black-robed demons were still watching. It was difficult for him to think clearly..
At that moment, suddenly from the shadows came a rumbling sound.
"Did you hear that?"
Amon squinted, focusing on his sense of hearing. "Yes, I heard it."
The rumbling sound got louder and louder.
Paimon and Agrias heard it too. They looked toward the shadow, the source of the rumbling.
The sound drew the attention of all the demons in the hall. Alyna and Gavin stopped fighting. The demons hiding behind black robes seemed to be gripping their weapons tightly.
"What is this? Antfolk?" muttered Amon, frowning.
"I don't know... anyway... this is good news. We can take advantage of this opportunity."
Aries' face brightened. He saw an opportunity.
Then, hundreds of antfolk came rushing in. They were shouting, running, with spears in their hands. Like people losing their minds, they charged.
At the very front, there was a white-haired demon with a gun in both hands.
Floating in the air, Alyna felt familiar with the man's figure. She squinted, focusing her recognition. Not long after, her eyes opened wide. She recognized him.
"What the f..."
Isaac came with thousands of antfolk. Running while shouting, "Charge!"
