Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
The muscular human with the goatee beside John dissolved into nothingness. That muscular human was not a summon but an offensive skill from his Fallen Apostle's Summoning Wand. This offensive skill was called Power Djinn's Smash. It dealt high physical damage with a powerful knockback force.
John learned about Beelzebub's personality from Wilted. He knew Beelzebub was a cunning devil. He didn't know how, but he knew Beelzebub would eventually think of a way to break through Trinity's Field Prison. That's why he had Trinity prepare a second Field Prison rune diagram at a nearby spot. The direction he sent Beelzebub using the Power Djinn's Smash was that spot.
Trinity immediately activated that second Field Prison rune diagram once Beelzebub fell into it.
"Hahaha!" John laughed. "Do you think someone as intelligent as I will not have a backup plan? I've already expected your move, villain! Do not think you can escape my grasp! Hahaha...!!"
"Can you please not laugh like that?" Jet called. "You sound more like a villain than him!"
Beelzebub looked at John with an ugly face. How did he not sense this person?
John used Teleportation to move into position when Beelzebub was breaking out of the Field Prison. Beelzebub had been so excited his ploy worked that he did not notice John was no longer beside Trinity. As for the reason why he couldn't sense John's presence, it was because John had also learned mana concealment.
Similar to Master, John had a good learning curve in terms of mana manipulation, even if he didn't practice martial arts. His improvement allowed him to do mana concealment, though not yet at Jack's level. If he didn't perform any attack, no one could sense his mana.
John teleported above Beelzebub because that was where he expected the devil would flee. He planted the seed when he mocked Beelzebub earlier about not flying when he could. Aside from baiting the devil so he could predict Beelzebub's fleeing direction, it was also to make it easier for him to send Beelzebub to the second Field Prison. Whacking a target to a particular spot was easier done from above compared to if he did it on ground level.
Beelzebub's scowl became uglier when he saw John's condescending expression. He couldn't believe he was tricked to such an extent.
"You piece of sh*t! I will kill you!! Do you know who I am?! I will get out, and I will tear you to pieces!!"
Beelzebub roared as he stabbed the wall of light frantically using his six legs. He also bumped his body into the wall. His cool demeanor was no more. He was like a frantic beast trying to break out of its cage.
John's grin became wider. He didn't taunt the devil without purpose. He knew the best way to deal with a cunning enemy was by rattling them. Without calmness, the mind could not work properly. Any decision made with such a mind most likely possessed a great margin of error.
Beelzebub reacted the way John expected. As someone who sat atop the food chain and always looked down on everything, being fooled twice was too much to bear. Beelzebub's attempt to break out became more violent with every second.
Trinity pumped her mana as best as she could. She drank an energy potion again. John might have riled Beelzebub and made him lose his mind, but the devil's violent craze had instead strained her even more than before.
"What should we do?" Steve sent John a message.
"We keep doing what we are doing," John answered.
"But... I'm not sure we can stop those demons from getting to Trinity when they arrive."
"Don't worry. I've also summoned reinforcements. They will take care of those demons
heading this way."
When Steve was about to ask what reinforcements John meant, a voice greeted them from
above.
"Heya! Need some help?"
Steve looked up and saw Paytowin in his Alpha Techno Suit.
"Let me give you a hand," Paytowin said. He used the Delta Station.
The large station appeared with Trinity at the center. All the demon insects in the surroundings were stunned. The guns on the stations fired at these immobilized insects. With the Delta Station, the demon insects had an even harder time getting to Trinity. John left the Celestial Moth to cover Trinity while asking everyone else to attack Beelzebub, including
Steve.
Since they were making a push, Steve supported everyone using Eternal Guardian's level 80
skill, Guardian Domain. The skill provided all allies within the domain a boost in defense, resistance, and damage reduction. These allies were also immune to status effects and movement restrictions. This domain lasted ten minutes.
With the defensive boost, everyone ignored the demon insects hitting them and focused on attacking Beelzebub. Paytowin also joined them by firing using his gun from the sky. Steve was still wondering about the group of demons coming from the valley. He looked over and was surprised to find those demons were halted by two people he knew, Joe and
Blackhole.
