Chapter 1955: Chapter 1955. Trapping the Immortal Devil
They did not know what John was planning, but they still had to defeat the possessed Yeti anyway. So, they continued their assaults. Their pace picked up. They had been slowing down due to low spirits because of the never-ending cycles. Although John didn't tell them his plan, the fact that they knew there was a plan in motion raised their spirit. Hence, they attacked more passionately.
"I'm going to kick that mysterious a*shole's ass if his plan fails," Spring Crown uttered in the middle of his attacks.
"I second that!" David exclaimed.
"I'm still here, you know," John said. He also joined in on the attacks but mostly sent ranged attacks. His regular summons were aiding the army. As for his pinnacle class' summons, they were still on cooldown. Like Paytowin, the skills of his pinnacle class possessed long cooldowns.
"Haha, more outworlders? Call more. You are about to run out of troops," Mammon mocked. He noticed John but didn't think of the outworlder as someone to be worried about.
Mammon laughed as he charged at Spring Crown and Jeanny. A dark aura enveloped him. Ice covered his two arms. The ice formed spiked gloves. These spiked gloves increased the damage he inflicted. He flailed his two arms around at the two outworlders.
Jeanny and Spring Crown expertly dodged the blows and counterattacks using their long spears. The yeti warrior had great strength. Boosted by Mammon, it almost rivaled Mammon's original strength, but it was slow. Although the Yeti was large, it was not as gigantic as Mammon's original body. Hence, Jeanny and Spring Crown could easily read Mammon's movements and use their martial moves to expertly land attacks without getting
hit.
Mammon didn't seem concerned. He didn't even bother using defensive moves. He focused on the offense. When he died, he could just possess another native. He was certain he would outlast these outworlders.
When his HP neared zero, he started surveying his surroundings. As expected, the enemy natives started to pull back. It didn't matter. Plenty of demons were around. The enemies were attacking these demons, but no way they could kill them all in time. Furthermore, additional demons kept approaching.
His eyes noticed a demon. It was an archdemon. Although this archdemon was only a level 88 mythical, its HP was still around ninety percent. It fought the enemies using an axe, which meant it was a melee combatant. Mammon could use the spells of a possessed being, but he preferred to fight melee. Hence, compared to the other nearby demons, this archdemon was the most ideal for his next possession.
Mammon's HP dropped to zero when Jeanny performed her Seven Spears Assaulting Heaven and stabbed the yeti's chest. Mammon was laughing as he died. The black mist emerged again from the yeti's body.
"What now?!" Jeanny asked John.
"Continue attacking, of course," John answered.
Jeanny was peeved about how little information John let out, but she had no choice but to follow through. She activated Hundred Spears and stabbed the black mist repeatedly. The others followed her lead. While they were attacking, they received a message from John.
'Once Mammon possessed his next prey, go to these coordinates,' the message said.
"Huh?" All of them were confused when they saw the coordinates. "But these coordinates are..."
"Don't ask. Just follow," John told them.
They decided to just believe in him. They continued attacking. When around one minute passed, the black mist started moving. It shot toward the archdemon he had targeted. That archdemon was still floating at the same position. It was fighting an outworlder.
"Go!" John exclaimed. He took the lead. The wings from his wings tool spread as he took to the sky. Jeanny and Spring Crown unsummoned their spirit weapons and followed after him. Mammon, who had just possessed the archdemon, looked at Jeanny and the others. He expected them to come rushing at him as they always did. Instead, he saw those outworlders fly up high into the sky. They were still gaining altitude while he watched.
"John! What should we do?" Jeanny turned to John with an urgent expression, but she froze when she saw that John was grinning.
Instead of answering Jeanny, John shouted at Joe, who was floating up there, "Joe, it should
be off by now, right!"
"Four more seconds!" Joe shouted back. He stared at the archdemon, who was moving away.
He cast Spectral Doors.
An oval blue portal appeared right in front of Mammon, who was flying at top speed. Mammon was startled seeing this portal and was too fast to stop. He shot into the oval portal and appeared right next to the outworlder he passed by earlier.
"What?! How...?"
Mammon was still at a loss when suddenly, a blue light erupted from the nearby outworlder.
This blue light washed over him and traveled outward.
Aside from John, Jeanny and the others were also startled by the blue light rushing at them.
They had never seen the activation of Joe's Spectral Plane, after all.
The blue light finally stopped expanding. Those touched by the light were sent to the
alternate plane.
Mammon looked at his surroundings with uncertain feelings. Similar to Leviathan, he could sense that he was in another dimension. There was no way out.
"You...!" Mammon turned to Joe with glaring fury. This dimension was this outworlder's
doing. He swung the axe in his hand.
Joe didn't engage Mammon directly. A spectral door appeared behind him, and he went into
it. He came out behind Mammon and shot using ranged attacks.
Mammon sensed Joe had gotten behind him. He turned but soon sensed many opponents coming into his mana sense's range.
Jeanny and the others surrounded the devil.
"Let's see how you fare without anyone to possess," Jeanny said.
