Chapter 916: A Demonic Clash



[Demon Release: All praise be the pale mother] The sky turned black and then flashed red, countless bones, and ribs of massive titans fell from the bleeding sky, reaching the ground and piercing it like needles on flesh.

The demon stood before Arad, a four-meter {13 feet} giant with arms filled with pale white bone spikes. He was an incarnation of rugged violence, his face decorated with a malevolent grin of demonic mockery.

Arad stood, expanding his wings with a shockwave as black horns emerged from his head, roaring with lightning. His massive and thick black tail whipped around, ripping the ground behind him apart as Arad looked up at the demon's face. This was the first time in a while that he looked at a humanoid being taller than him.

It didn't take Arad a second to realize what the demon just did. He had engulfed a massive area with his own demonic magic to overpower any magic that Arad might try to use, especially the gravity magic he was using to make the swords float around him. And from his look, he was certain the demon had empowered himself.

[Void Expansion: Palace of Stars] Arad immediately unleashed his expansion trying to fight the demon over the dominion of the area. With a wave of pitch-black darkness, illuminated by countless small [Ho-white Nova] flashing like stars, Arad's magic pushed against the demon's magic.

"This is my second strongest expansion, and I'm already pushing against your magic." Arad growled, glaring at the demon with a darkened face and glowing purple eyes. "I'll play with you." Arad was glad that this had happened away from any of his wives. If this demon had followed him earlier to Isdis, she might've died from the dense demonic magic.

The only one who could've survived this is Merida, thanks to her demonic fungus, but even Eris might suffer damage by just standing around. Arad could easily tank such harsh conditions, but most couldn't.

The demon clenched his fists, the bone spikes on his forearms and shoulders erected up like the spikes of a porcupine. It didn't take Arad a fraction of a second to understand what this demon was thinking, it was happy, thrilled, and excited.

The demon could hear a strange beeping noise in its head as Arad read its mind. Void dragons are creatures used to living in the vacuum of the void, swimming through nothing for centuries and only landing once or twice in random worlds to refill on food and magic. When two void dragons come near each other in the void, they communicate through mental telepathy as sound can't travel in the void.

Imagine the whole world being like ours, an empty space with planets and solar systems. A solar system would be a full world, the planes of existence are the planets that swim in the void. Those planes of existence are protected by several barriers and arrays and are also linked together with gates and cosmic rules set by the overgod. Void dragons live in the empty space between those planes of existence and fly around, patrolling and looking for abomination threats to eliminate. If Earth was the mortal world, something like mercury would be hell and the void dragons are space dragons that protect the solar system against alien threats.

The countless stars that Arad made disappeared and he stood there, sucking all the weapons scattered around the ground into his stomach. He then quickly pulled them all, making them float around him in a storm of blades.

"I'll fight you without using magic to directly attack." By precisely controlling his gravity magic within his expansion, Arad managed to control each one of the hundreds of weapons floating around him and swing them like they were in his hand.

"Are you sure?" Kayden asked with a worried face.

"Don't worry, dad. I can handle some work on my own." Kali was about to cut the call.

"Last time I let work on your own you blew a whole underground city." Kayden growled.

"Tehe..." Kali giggled and cut the call. Kayden couldn't be more worried, but it was indeed best to focus on Arad now. He sighed and looked at the fight which was about to end.

With the demon going all out, he was consuming a lot of energy instead of using it for regeneration. Arad on the other hand wasn't wasting that much energy as he only used gravity magic, which heavily turned this battle of endurance in Arad's favor.

When the demon regeneration finally failed to keep up, he fell down and his magic rapidly faded. Arad stood there, looking at the demon's motionless body with a passive face as the weapons buzzing across the air halted.

"Finally dead?" Arad looked at the demon, but something was off. He didn't get any experience or a soul, it's as if this demon was still alive. At that moment, Kayden landed beside the demon. "The day is over, it's almost nighttime." He said, bending down and

touching the demon's bloodied chest.

Before Arad's eyes, the demon stood again, all of his wounds healed.

"So, how was it?" Kayden asked, looking at the demon.

"Bad, really bad. I underestimated him a lot father." The demon could speak, and he looked at Kayden with a sad face. But he quickly smiled, "But I had fun, as you said, he's strong."

"He's your son?" Arad gasped.

"Yes and no," The demon replied, "He adopted me from the abyss." The demon approached Arad and extended his hand for a handshape. "I'm Admhone, a Tanari demon. Humans know me as the demon prince of bones."

This one was the same as Merida's fungus or Demogorgan that Gojo killed, a powerful demon that rules over his own layer of the abyss. And due to how young he is, he's referred to as a demon prince instead of a lord.

It was just then that Arad realized, his power was above that of demon lords now.
