Chapter 146: Catching Aim

Chapter 146: Catching Aim

-----

TRUUM!

Aim was thrown across several rooms, clashing against one after another, devastating everything as his lightning aura went crazy. Sparks of electricity quickly started burning, setting ablaze a large area.

BAAAM!

“Urgh...!”

His body finally landed in a tenth room, vomiting blood. His self-regeneration keeps his body healthy thanks to the large quantity of Demonic Energy in the environment.

However, that punch just now... It held a large quantity of very FAMILIAR Demonic Power, Aim glanced in utter disbelief at what had replaced Baihe’s arm.

“A-Astaroth?!” He muttered, incapable of believing his eyes. “Why...?! You became a giant metallic arm?! What the fuck are you doing?! Have you betrayed us, bastard?!”

Astaroth emerged like a small snake made of purple energy coiling around Baihe’s new temporary arm, panicking as he heard Aim’s screams.

“W-Wait a second, I’m the one being forced here! She captured me and sealed me into this thing! A-And somehow she can just do whatever she wants with me! It’s weird! I swear! I’ve never seen this happen! In fact, this feels utterly ridiculous and impossible and-”

“STOP GIVING EXCUSES!” Aim roared mightily, his aura continuously growing larger, sparks of electricity coming from it. “You damn bastard... YOU TRAITOROUS SNAKE!”

FLASH!

He quickly rushed towards Baihe and Anna at the same time, but Anna wasn’t having any of that. She quickly ran directly towards him, boldly confronting him, Gram overflowing with both Demonic and Celestial Auras.

“Hey fucker, you’re not fighting Baihe alone now.” Anna’s eyes glowed with utter demonic rage and also celestial majesty, swinging her sword dozens of times in a split second.

“{Thousand Blades}: {Star Fall}!”

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Countless sword slashes descended upon Aim, each one resembling an explosive, descending star imbued with both her primary Energies, Demonic and Celestial, and a bit of Cosmic Energy!

“Uurgh...?!”

Aim was quickly taken aback by her incredible strength. His entire body was covered with dozens of deep cuts, each wound exploding and dealing even more damage; he was bleeding all over!

“F-Fuck! What the fuck is she?!” He thought, panicking as he quickly evaded another attack coming from her!

SLAAASH!

“Hah! She’s not that fast, though- Huh?!”

However, to his surprise, Anna’s attacks would never be simply one slash. After she evolved her Twin Cutter into the Thousand Blades Skill with her Skill Evolution Stone, any slash she unleashed would suddenly become seven.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com’s entire face was covered with countless cuts, all while his front limbs were completely amputated. The rest of his body was a mess!

“FUCK OFF!”

With a mighty roar, he unleashed an enormous shockwave of lightning, attempting to throw Anna as far as he could. However, Anna barely ended up being pushed a few steps back as she defended herself with several barriers of her own powerful aura, combining the many energies she had been mastering.

“S-She can use Celestial and Demonic Energy together?! What is this b*tch all about?! A damn Nephilim is here?!” Aim had not been told at all that he would be fighting a child between a demon and an angel!

Even among Demons, the existence of Nephilim was greatly feared. They were strange and very rare entities, beings born between the love of a Demon and Celestials, usually natural enemies, whose Scenarios always forced them to fight to the death for the extraction of new Constellations to replace the old ones that had fallen.

However, when one of them appeared, chaos would begin to consume the entire battlefield. Usually, they would fight for themselves, obeying no faction and being ruthless monsters that could absorb both Demons and Celestial's powers.

Utterly devastating calamities!

“What’s wrong? You’re getting afraid, little kitty.” Anna teased him.

“I’m not-”

Before Aim could continue his words, Sara and Baihe appeared behind him! He could barely react in time, evading Sara’s deadly dagger attacks, her body dividing into countless ghost clones attacking him several times at once!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

He evaded most of the attacks with his lightning speed, but Baihe was there too! Not only did she transform her new temporary arm into a giant blade and stab his stomach with it, but she blasted as much ice inside of that wound as she could!

“A-Astaroth, you fucker!”

Aim felt not only Baihe’s ice reaching his insides and freezing him from the inside out, but also Astaroth’s powerful Dark Abyssal Dragon Flames, capable of burning his very soul!

BOOOM!

Half of Aim’s torso ended up being blown up to bits as the reaction between Baihe’s ice and her flames generated an enormous combustion inside of him!

“U-Uurrggh...! N-No...! This can’t be!”

Astaroth was vomiting blood as he glanced at how his vessel was now lacking everything from the middle of his stomach down! His flesh was trying to regenerate as quickly as it could, but the ice and the flames covering it were inhibiting his rapid regeneration.

“Get away from me!”

With a panicked scream, the jaguar Death Apostle unleashed all the lightning power he could—an enormous, zapping shockwave, ten times as strong as the previous one—from his body.

Aim’s whole body rolled over the floor. But he gave himself little time to rest, standing back up in a split second and leaping towards Anna, slashing her back, as her crimson armor took the attacks rather well.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

However, Anna simply smiled at that, her aura turning deep red. Aim suddenly felt shocked; something seemed off!

“Thank you.” She smiled.

“{Maddening Scream}”

Suddenly, her crimson armor screamed—a scream very similar to the terrifying Void Ruler that every Constellation feared!

“GRYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!!!”

“URGH?!”

A crimson shockwave of pure crimson power emerged from Anna’s armor, impacting Aim and throwing him away. He suddenly took 25% of the damage he had done to Anna’s entire armor since the beginning of their battle.

And it was a lot.

BAAAM!

Shattering dozens of floors as he fell, Aim felt as if an invisible force was tearing apart his insides; he was constantly vomiting blood, incapable of understanding what that power was!

Not only that, but it also even paralyzed his body, something utterly impossible for a Lightning Element-wielder such as him, yet it just happened.

His wounds never stopped bleeding even as he tried to regenerate them, and all his stats decreased by -50% for ten minutes.

“ARGH...!”

With a scream of bleeding agony, Aim landed ten floors below, almost completely and utterly devastated!

But that wasn’t all; they weren’t done with the bastard.

Anna, Sara, and Baihe quickly rushed down, ice beginning to cover Aim’s body as he tried to free himself from the paralysis, only to be frozen solid now!

“{Lightning Jaguar Spirits}!”

Suddenly, the Jaguar-like Demon showcased another of his talents, summoning Demonic Spirits in the shape of jaguars made of lightning!

“Leave these to me! Seal him!” Sara said as she and Violet started attacking the spirits while letting Anna and Baihe descend toward the demon.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“Now, Baihe! Keep him in there!” Anna roared.

“Oooh!” Baihe cheered with a wicked smile, her new arm quickly transforming into a gigantic net made of metallic threads, wrapping around Aim!

Aim had already freed himself from the frost and was about to escape, but was now wrapped by Astaroth’s flames, and his own body had turned into a metallic net, no less!

“W-What the...?! ASTAROTH! What are you planning?!” Aim screamed desperately, feeling his energies being drained as Anna kept drawing closer.

He started feeling utter horror!

“Astaroth, say hello to your new best friend.”

Anna’s hands pierced Aim’s chest and reached the depths of his soul, sealing it into a sphere as countless chains of light wrapped them around.

“N-No...! NOOO!"

Aim could only scream in agony as his fate was swiftly sealed within Anna’s chains.

“Why don’t you become an actual kitty?! Declawed, if possible!”

Aim’s intimidating form was quickly reduced to a small, black, and white cat with big golden eyes. Despite how adorable he was, this was a demon that had devoured millions of innocent souls and would gladly eat children if given the opportunity.

“What?! What happened to my body? What are you doing?!”

“Go take a nap now, kitty~”

Anna kicked the little cat inside a large Purgatory Portal she created, sealing him inside the spot.

Ding!

[The weakened soul of a Death Apostle has been sealed within the {Purgatory}!]

[The powerful Demonic Soul has lost all its abilities to exert its true powers inside.]

[It has now been marked with the {Prisoner of the Purgatory} Stigma.]

[This Demon Soul now belongs to you to use.]

[Several Constellations that hate humans are showing their ill intent against you.]

[Other Constellations that hate Demons are beginning to find you interesting.]

“I-I can’t believe you just did it again...” Astaroth was left speechless.
