"S-Stop him!"
"Quickly!"
"T-This is impossible... What is he?!"
"He's no mere human...!"
"Gryaaah!"
The Demons screamed and panicked as they were being slaughtered by Blake. His gun shoot their heads by the dozens in just a split of a second, while his mighty spear techniques unleashed devastating explosive strikes that scattered across the enemy army, killing a dozen more.n)-o)-V-)e(.L.-b..I-.n
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Blake's charge could not be seen as just a soldier fighter, as he charged across the battlefield, explosions continuously emerged one after another, pieces of demon flesh torn apart flew everywhere, blood splattering and bones cracking.
He was an unstoppable force. These low-rank demons simply could not fight against him, they were merely ants, insects before him. Years ago, when he was much weaker, they could had killed him, they would had have a good shot.
But now? After he had grown so strong after so many challenges, planning, and time? Not even Demon Lords could stand before his strength.
This was the time when the Demons started to realize that what made Asmodeus so powerful and incredible wasn't his previous body's strength and magic power, but his tenacity and knowledge.
All the knowledge and the personality he had... was all he needed to grow stronger! A talentless human body was not going to stop him, neither a curse that made him grow many times slower than others.
"U-ugh...! You won't defeat me so easily, you pathetic human!"
A large golden-scaled dragon-like demon showed up, his chest glowing brightly as the power of an Archdemon Core Shard activated, imbuing him with new strength.
His body grew several times larger, his muscles bulging, and his reptilian appearance becoming more draconic than ever before, his fiery red eyes glowing with flames.
"RAAAAAHHH!"
With a mighty and demonic roar, the golden scaled demon reached Blake, his giant claws charging all his demonic energy to strike him down with as much strength as he could.
"DIE!"
CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
Three powerful blows were unleashed, the demonic energy imbued into each attack generating three enormous explosions that shattered the ground below and made the entire city tremble.
Whatever demons were still alive glanced at the scene, hoping that their demise had been taken care by the last Demon Lord alive, after Blake had killed the first two before they could even retaliate.
However, as the smoke dissipated, his figure stood there, unchanged, and unscathed. His armor and scales fusing together as he was covered by a giant armor of draconic scales, with a long dragon-like tail, fused with his spear!
His demonic arm had also transformed, becoming a huge monstrous jaw that devoured the impact and shockwave of the attacks, leaving everyone speechless...
"Oh well, that was disappointing."
"W-Wha...?! N-No! NOO!"
The dragon-like demon grew desperate, opening his jaws and unleashing a mighty blazing breath, capable of destroying this entire city, he was no longer holding back anymore!
"DIEEEE!!!"
BOOOOOOMMMMM...!!!
The flames reached Blake; a huge explosion unleashed. However, it lasted for a single second before the entire explosion was absorbed into Blake's arm, spiraling around into a giant sphere of fire.
"You've seen me do this multiple times, yet you still attack me with your flames." Blake sighed. "You demons have gotten more stupid nowadays, has the lack of a proper enemy made you relax and become much less tenacious and intelligent? What a pity. Demons used to be much more than what you lot are."
"H-Huh?! T-This is impossible...! A-A human that can absorb demonic fire... N-Not even the Demonic Humans of the Cult can do this!" The demon panicked.
"Is that so?" Blake smiled, his wings moving rapidly as he flew directly towards the Demon Lord's face.
His demonic arm suddenly growing twenty times its original size, resembling a gigantic fleshy fist made up of many tendrils, tentacles, and arms, as pummeled the demon with several punches. His dragon tail also moved, extending its size to a ridiculous length, and piercing through his entire body with its tip, which had fused with his Demonic Spear, Gluttony.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
Not only was the last Demon Lord of this settlement filled with holes, but his bones broke into pieces and pierced his own flesh and skin, his screams of agony were like music to Blake's ears.
"S-SPARE MEEEE! PLEASE, M-MERCYYYY...!"
The tenacious demon lord kept screaming as all his attacks and attempts at defended utterly failed. His muscular arms were reduced to minced meat and his legs were cut down like sashimi.
"Mercy?" Blake laughed. "Here's your mercy."
Blake's chest suddenly opened up grotesquely, fusing with his gun as it transformed into a demonic, draconic fleshy cannon, unleashing a tremendous beam of flames.
"H-Huh?! N-No...! W-WAIT!"
"Your boss sent a pretty strong spell my way, have it back... [Apocalypse Cannon]"
TRUUUUUMMM...!
"GRYYYAAAAAEEEGGHHH...!"
With a sickening, wicked smile, Blake unleashed a gigantic beam cannon, blasting and pulverizing the demon lord and thousands of other demons and beasts in the vicinity, shaking the city and turning it into even more ruins than it already was...
BOOOOOOOMMMMM...!
The only thing left behind after such a devastating, apocalyptic explosion was a single young man standing above a mountain of rubble and corpses, his transformation quickly undoing itself as he went back to his base appearance.
"To think these demons would beg for mercy. Is Satan teaching his barbarians well? It feels like they're just a bunch of spoiled brats that only know how to butcher humans." Blake sighed. "The quality of demons troops has surely decreased from what my memories showed me... Maybe because without any other threats, they have grown conceited."
Blake smiled, as he graved the huge head of the gold-scaled demon he had just massacred, its tongue sticking out as its eyes were burned to a crisp.
"Oh well, that's better for us at the end, isn't it?"
"Indeed, master."
His Demonic Arm suddenly spoke, transforming and shapeshifting into an aberrant mass of jaws and beginning to devour the head of the demon lord, absorbing his powers, as a set of golden scales and horns appeared across Blake's demonic arm.
"Hmm, not bad. I guess it's time for the real fight to begin." Blake glanced at the distance, setting his eyes into Silvertide's Capital.
It was in the Capital where the Demon Lord, the entity behind this invasion rested, and where Blake would be moving right away once he and his friends gathered all the loot they could and sent the survivors to the Darkage Territory.
Within the Capital's Castle, sitting above the throne that the King once sat over, an enormous, muscular demon covered on spikes and tattoos opened his eyes, blazing with red demonic energy.
He had been resting these last hours, completely unmoved over what had been happening to the demonic humans, who were all now massacred in just two days.
"A fitting challenger has finally arrived. I was getting bored..."
A wicked smile surged on the Demon Lord's face, as his demonic troops, amounting over fifty thousand, started to prepare themselves the moment he gave them a mental order.
Demon Overlords were much stronger than Demon Lords not just in physical or magical strength, but also on their sinister, incredible abilities, such as the ability to Mind Control any Demons below their rank, making their ability to order troops much more efficient than any other Demons.
"I've been waiting for this opportunity this entire time, Asmodeus. Our rematch shall be legendary!" The Demon Overlord laughed. "And this time, I'm going to crush you to smithereens."
