Chapter 956: A Divine Feat



As Alaric watched Arad, waiting for the moment that Arad ran out of mana, Arad decided to give the demon lord a taste of something new. Amid the raging fire and lightning, he shifted back into his half-dragon form and slowly floated to the ground.

Arad's magic still burned strong, not a single sign of exhaustion showed on him. This wasn't Hati's training ground where he wanted to not repeat what happened to Betty's training ground, this is a place he doesn't care about.

Doma sat on Arad's shoulder as he landed a fair distance away from Alaric. Just like him, the queen of curses wasn't showing any signs of exhaustion or discomfort, even though she was always with Arad through all that hellish flame and lightning.

Alaric giggled, "Did you finally run out of mana?" He said as his eyes inspected Arad and Doma. Alaric didn't believe that to be true himself. Arad's form or look didn't matter, he could sense that Arad's magic didn't drop at all. "Or are you trying to trick me?"

To Alaric, Arad's actions were a clear taunt as if saying. 'Look at me, I'm small once again, come attack.' But that thought of him was untrue, to a level that even he couldn't imagine. Arad stood in place, and lifted his right foot up, putting his knee to his chest and calves close to his face. Seeing that split, Alaric froze in place, confused. This stance was similar to someone that Alaric hated with a passion, yet here he was seeing someone else doing it.

Doma leaned on Arad's head and giggled, licking his calves. "Demon lord, you've sought to kill Lunara and steal her affinity to the moon, the blessing she got from Selune." She looked at Arad with glowing eyes, caressing his head in her arms, "You'll never reach my husband's ankles with that mindset."

When Lunara met Kali, Selune had blessed her and the dark abyss, conjuring a fake moon on each layer, giving the abyss its ominous silvery glow and nightly look. Arad's toes were pointing straight at that fake moon, and his body burst with gravity magic.

Arad swung his foot down, stomping hard enough to shatter the ground beneath him. The fake moon in the ceiling of the layer, the massive glowing white orb of magic that was over several hundred kilometers in width, ripped off from the ceiling and started falling with a rumble, he had dislocated it with his gravity magic.

[Moon Fall]

As Alaric's mouth almost ripped open seeing the moon falling at him, Doma was giggling on Arad's shoulder. "My love needs no blessing from gods, nor curses from me. Unlike you, he doesn't need to steal power to grow. He conquers it."

The utter disrespect and humiliation Arad threw at Alaric was beyond any insult. The power he sought for centuries, the thing he saw as an unfair blessing, a divine power that Lunara got. Arad had pulled out of nothing, with nothing more than his foot, ripped quads, a draconic stomp, and his gravity magic. Standing beneath the falling silver moon, Arad looked like an incarnation of a god wearing a mortal's skin.

Alaric shifted into a mole-shaped beast, a weremole, and started digging as fast as he could. The ground of each layer is the ceiling of the layer beneath it. That separation layer usually ranges between one hundred to a thousand-kilometer depth of hard stone, metals ore veins called the bones of the abyss, and a sponge-like structure of magical veins of pure energy called the marrow of the abyss, it was that which made some scholars think the abyss is alive. Alaric wasn't fast enough to avoid the moon, so his best chance of survival is to go deep and hope to reach the bones of the abyss, they are the ones holding its weight and should be able to stop the moon.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He had no chance of tanking a [Moon Fall] Even while digging, he couldn't take his mind off thinking, ^How in the nine hells did that bastard pull it off?^ If Alaric was given the chance, he would never step into the same plane of existence as Arad. In his mind, such a monster is too dangerous to be in the same world with.

By a miracle, Alaric managed to reach that layer thanks to his impressive digging speed and his luck with the cave systems of the layer which allowed him to go deep enough before the weight of the moon came crashing down.

It took Alaric five minutes to reach the bone of the abyss that was fifty kilometers {31 miles} deep underground, but with that, he didn't stop going deeper. He could sense Arad's magic chasing after him. But unlike Alaric, Arad was digging at his own pace, giving the demon lord time to run away.

Alaric looked back as he was digging deeper and deeper as if he were swimming across the ground. "Arrogant monster!" He growled, he could swear that Arad earlier was swimming faster in the hard stone than how fast he was going now. He knew well that this time, Arad was letting him escape.

wasn't just famous in the mortal world, but also in the abyss and hell. She was known for summoning demons and devils to be her lab rats and torturing them for years while testing

her curses on them.

"It's the dragon I picked a fight with, he's her husband." Alaric, even he didn't believe that the words he was saying were true.

"Demon! What the hell made you think that someone who can bed that Curse Witch Doma is safe to fight?" Sawless would've noped out the moment Doma was mentioned had he been in Alaric's shoes. Doma is known as a crazy witch, and her husband is bound to be an even bigger

madman.

To the two demons, Alaric picking a fight with Arad who is Doma's husband was the same as if a human picked a fight with satan's wife. What made him think that's a reasonable thing to do, Sawless didn't know.

"He's just a pain in the ass. Shut up and run." Alaric growled as the two of them dodged the rain of boulders Arad was throwing at them. What was done is already done, it can't be

reversed now.

"Arad...look over there!" Doma pointed with a happy face as she was sitting on Arad's head. "That castle section." She pointed at a part of Sawless's castle, the laboratory which was built right in the middle of an herbal garden and a lab rats' prison. Since this was the abyss, the garden was filled with horrid demonic plants, and the prison was filled with tormented humanoids and lesser demons that the demon lord Sawless kept for his experiments.

"I want one like that to work from. Can you build me one in our castle?" She looked at Arad's

eyes and he nodded, "Let's check it out."

Arad suddenly disappeared from the ceiling and the two demon lords froze in place. He can teleport, they didn't know that. Alaric was even more terrified knowing that Arad didn't even need to chase him, he could've teleported right to him and finished the deed.

Arad in his half-dragon form landed in the middle of Sawless's castle with Doma sitting on

his shoulder. He walked straight toward the door of the lab section, and the demon woman who stood there as a guard saw him.

She was tall, standing at almost eight feet tall with four arms, three breasts, and an extra mouth on her exposed belly. The moment her ruby-red eyes landed on Arad, she knew he was the dragon that just appeared in the sky, the one that was currently rampaging outside. She started shaking in her place, terrified to move an inch.

Doma stared at her, "Not even greeting us, are all demons this rude?" That deadly pink glare

sent chills down the demon woman's spine. Yet the fear didn't allow her to even breathe, she stood, frozen as a statue with sweat rushing down her back as Arad closed, inspecting her like a dog sniffing his food.
