Chapter 1954: Chapter 1954. Mysterious



"Which one?" Purple Mist asked.

"Satan and Mammon," John answered.

"Mammon?" Purple Mist didn't expect Mammon to be among the devils they had yet to defeat. This devil was supposed to have the lowest level.

"I know. I'm also surprised. Turns out this so-called weakest devil might be the hardest one to kill, but I already have a plan. I will take some of the players here and head over there. The rest of you stay here and wipe out the remaining demons. Wilted said the debuff on the demon army after losing their leading devil would last only a few days. We need to defeat as many demons as possible within that time frame before marching into Liguritudum. I will leave you in charge of the players here. Work with Ragorth to secure our victory."

"Very well," Purple Mist said before asking, "What about Satan? Jack is alone there, isn't he? Shouldn't some of us go there to help him?"

"No need to worry about him. He is the least of us who needs help. If it makes you feel any better, one of us from the other front is already heading his way. If he still hasn't finished Satan by the time we deal with Mammon, I will bring some of us to go help him. I will be disappointed, though."

"You are truly his good friend," Purple Mist said.

"I know," John replied.

"I was being sarcastic," Purple Mist said while rolling her eyes.

"I will pretend I didn't hear that. Good luck wiping out the underworld force here. Do not disappoint me."

"We will wipe out the demons here, but we are not doing it for you, prick," Purple Mist stated.

"I will also pretend I didn't hear that. I'm off now," John said. He sent messages to several people to come to him.

At the Aurebor Northen Front, Jeanny and the others were still fighting Mammon. However, they were not fighting the devil in his original form. The one they were fighting at this moment was a Yeti warrior.

Every time they depleted Mammon's HP, the devil entered the black mist state. They tried to drain the black mist's HP as fast as possible. However, the black mist moved and possessed one of them before they could complete the process.

This black mist state was Mammon's Infernal Soul Rebirth, a special skill accessible only to him. This skill was triggered every time he died. Only by depleting his HP during this state could he truly die.

At least, that was the original programming. It turned out that when this game world became real, Mammon's understanding of mana manipulation grew. He learned Form Manipulation, like Satan did. Hence, he was able to manipulate his skill to function differently from the original programming.

After gaining an understanding of form manipulation, he focused his training on this Infernal Soul Rebirth. His training allowed him to move around while in the black mist state. Since he had no body, he could even enter another being and possess them, providing they were weaker than him, which was most of the combatants here.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

This repeat of possessions and defeating the possessed beings had been going on for two and a half days. Jeanny and the others didn't know how to end this cycle. What was worse was the time in which the black mist remained inert was shortened every time they defeated Mammon. It was as if Mammon was getting used to his possession ability and could move in a shorter time after he entered the black mist state.

It was indeed the case. Before this, Mammon could only train mentally. Not many could deplete Mammon's HP, after all. Now that he put it into practice, he was getting more skillful. Jeanny and the others had been trying to increase their damage output, but Mammon beat their pace. The last time Mammon used Infernal Soul Rebirth, he only needed a bit above one minute before he moved and possessed another being. They couldn't deplete his HP within such a short time.

"Does he know about our situation?" Spring Crown asked.

"He does. I've filled him in. He said he has a plan," Jeanny answered.

"What plan?"

"He didn't tell."

"F*ck that guy. I don't like it when he goes all mysterious like that," Spring Crown cursed.

"Despite his unpleasant character, he has been reliable. We just have to trust him," Jeanny

said.

"What unpleasant character? I can't believe you people talk like that about me behind my

back!"

They turned and saw John approaching. Chris teleported him right inside the defenders' perimeter, so he didn't need to fight through all the demons to get to where Jeanny and the

others were.

"She is already generous for calling you unpleasant," Spring Crown said to John. "If it is me, I would have called you unsavory, vile, degenerate, loathsome, and contemptible snake." "Now, you are just insulting me to my face. But I am a saintly man, as my name suggests, so I

forgive you," John said.

Jeanny noticed some of John's summons fighting among the army. She asked, "Since when did

you arrive?"

"Some time ago. I need to do some preparations," John answered. "I'm ready now. All you

need to do is take down that big lump of fur."

"What will you do when he enters his black mist state?" Spring Crown asked.

"That's a secret," John answered with a mischievous grin. "Like you said, I love it when I'm

being mysterious."
