Chapter 622 An Old Grudge

"Hendrick we should hurry and go help papa!" Saphira said. "I think they can handle by themselves by now, right?" Wondered Saphira, pointing at the other students.

"Master gave us the task of taking care of them and to not let any of them die!" Hendrick said. "Saphira, are you willing to bear with the responsibility that comes if any of these students die because we were not here?"

"I-I…" Saphira felt slightly surprised. "But I can leave my Undead! Everyone, go help! You too, Orcs, Titans!"

"Graaaaahhhh!"

A large army of around a hundred Undead Demons quickly joined the ranks of the students, scaring them a little bit while they were protecting the Water Magicians that were about to conjure a powerful spell.

"T-Those are demon zombies?!" Clarice panicked.

"No, wait, these were summoned by Blake's spirit, that one ghost girl!" Elianna said.

"She can summon undead?! Why are his spirits so overpowered?!" Clarice complained.

"Clarice! I'll leave you all of my army, and papa's army! We'll go help him now!" Saphira said, flying into the top of the demon fortress.

"I shall leave you a few trinkets for your aid." Hendrick gave Clarice and Clark a bag filled with poisonous bombs. "These are Poison Bombs, use them by imbuing some mana and throw them into your foes, it'll numb them, paralyze them, or slowly kill them! Sorry but we have to leave now, our master's life is much more important than yours. Have fun and try not to die!"

Hendrick quickly turned into a cloud of poisonous gas and flew into the skies similarly to Saphira. Leaving Clarice and everyone else slightly shocked.

"At least they're honest…" Elianna laughed a bit.

…

Meanwhile, within the Demon Fortress, Eleanora just finished slaying the two powerful High Ranking Demonic Cultists that had turned into powerful Demon General-Rank half-demons. Only to suddenly be engulfed by Demon Flames coming everywhere, alongside that, she also felt Blake fighting an incredibly strong foe.

The monster's presence that Blake was fighting was also… quite familiar. Eleanora wasn't dumb, and immediately noticed this demon's presence was the same the Insectoid Demons had, and also, the same presence Beelzebub's soul held! Especially because she was one of the major contributors to his defeat and later sealing in the Hell Layer of Gluttony.

"That's Beelzebub?! Has he summoned himself to this world? No… That's simply not possible." Eleanora said. "Archdemons are all sealed even now, we already confirmed that back then with master. Then has he placed his soul into a vessel made in this world?! Dammit! I have to go aid my master!"

Eleanora quicky began jumping over the staircase, only to be stopped by the flames themselves, which flickered and moved by themselves, suddenly generating several forms and shapes. Lions, Centipedes, Wolves, and even Crows emerged, made all of flames.

"Flame Demon Beasts…" Eleanora said in surprise, but then smiled. "Heh, well, these things were lower than cockroaches back then, I doubt they will be much of a hard time! Move aside!" Eleanora roared, swinging her Envy Spear, and unleashing several slashes made of darkness and blood against them.

S L A A A A S H!

S L A A A A S H!

B O O M!

B O O M!

B O O O M!

The Demon Flame Beasts exploded into pieces one after the other, as Eleanora's Cursed Spear absorbed their Demonic Cores to gain more power. However, more and more beasts emerged, almost endlessly.

"Move! [Shadow Shuriken Storm]!"

FLUOOOOSH!

Eleanora covered her entire body with a spiraling aura of hundreds of shuriken made of shadows, as she rushed forward while slashing apart any Demon Flame Beast that leaped over her, getting closer and closer to the top of the Demon Fortress.

However…

FLAAAAAASSSH!

Suddenly, two large insect-like eyes surged from within the flames themselves, glaring down at Eleanora and then generating a massive claw made of flames, pushing her back down once more.

CLAAASH!

"Unnggh! What?!" Eleanora looked at the entity that emerged, a gigantic monster made of all these flames with bug-like eyes and legs. It wasn't Beelzebub, but it was one of his insectoid servants, born from the very flames he produced and spread everywhere.

"Heheheh… We finally meet, Vampire Queen Eleanora!" Laughed the entity, which quickly emerged with a monstrous-looking bug face, made of flames. Its appearance was that of a gigantic ant queen.

"Who the heck are you?" Eleanora asked while pointing her spear at the entity.

"Of course you don't know me, but you must have known my mother, Antansia Flare, one of the former Demon Generals that served my Master and King, The Almighty Lord Beelzebub!" Laughed the Ant Queen.

"Huh? Who?" Eleanora asked, still without remembering anybody like that.

"GEH…! How come you don't remember my glorious mother?!" The insect barked angrily at Eleanora.

"Sorry but I just can't seem to remember people when they are insignificant. Even less demons I've once slain before." Eleanora smiled back at the monster. "So? Are you here for revenge? I'll gladly bring you back with your mommy if that's what you want!"

The face of the Blazing Demon Ant Queen, one of Beelzebub's newest Demon Generals distorted into utter fury as she started to control the flames everywhere, summoning her children, countless of Blazing Demon Ants Warriors and Soldiers.

"YOUUU…! I won't forgive you for what you've said now! And even less, for taking down my mother without even remembering her name!!!" Roared the Ant Queen. "I am Antansia Flare II! And today I shall avenge my glorious mother by taking your life, Vampire Queen Eleanora!!!"

FLUOOOOSH!

Several gigantic claws made of flames emerged one after the other all around Eleanora's surroundings, attacking her constantly and with great power!

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAAAASH!

"ATTACK HER, MY CHILDREN! AVENGE YOUR GRANDMOTHER!"

The Blazing Demon Ant Queen roared, as her children all began attacking Eleanora, launching fireballs at her, trying to bite her limbs off, and outright jumping over her and then exploding!

"Get… off… MY WAY!"

SLAAAASH!
