Chapter 791 Satan Knows No Defeat
-----
FLAAASH!
A bright holy light covered Blake's tattered body, even his armor and equipment was torn to pieces, he had little to defend himself, and was left on a terrible state.
"Huh? This warmth..." Blake slowly opened his swollen eyes, as their shape slowly went back to normal as his weakened state recovered.
"Are you alright?" Elizabeth's voice echoed to his side.
"Elizabeth?" Blake stood back up instantly. "What...?! Did I fell unconscious?!"
"For a bit, you sure did!" Erika suddenly appeared at his side. "Did you really had to fight him all on your own?!"
"But I almost... I almost won..." Blake sighed, gripping his fists. "That bastard... I never thought he would begin to burn his own soul to gain more power. No other Archdemon would do something so stupid because he's weakening himself! But he... did it anyways."
"Is that why he became a giant made of fire?" Erdrich showed up behind him. "Hmm, he's going to destroy the whole capital if this continues..."
"But you've driven him into a corner all on your own, and that by itself is incredible..." Eric appeared besides Erdrich. "But how about we do things as we've always done them?"
"Together." Chris said, stepping in. "Come on now, you've never been alone, haven't you?"
"Ah..." Blake suddenly felt taken aback by the words of his friends.
He had it wrong from the beginning... All those things he said about struggling alone and endlessly to achieve his goals. If he only truly relied on comrades, maybe he wouldn't need to crawl like an insect all the time.
After all, a single ant is not much, but a huge colony becomes a force that can shape nature on their own, and survive against floods, predators, and many threats.
"You're right..." Blake sighed, feeling stupid about himself, and his own shortcomings. "Sorry about worrying you, everyone... I'm fine."
"Eleanora and your other spirits seem to be distracting him, but it's not going to last for longer." Elfriedden noticed. "What's the plan?"
"We'll do what we need to do, together!" Alberta nodded, pumped up.
"Evelyn and Mom and your Familiars are taking care of the Demons outside." Erika said. "Let's do this while they're doing their best to protect this place!"
"Alright..." Blake nodded. "Let's give it another shot."
...
"I AM... THE STRONGEST!"
Satan's new form terrorized the entire city, and threanted the foundations of the Silvertide Kingdom's capital from completely collapsing, the more his monstrous volcanic form expanded, the more threatened was everything.
And to make things worse, his mind had completely deteriorated after Blake's fight, having let his own primordial sin consume a large part of his intelligence, as he consumed his very soul, burning it to gain this strength despite his energy reserves having almost completely depleted.
"I AM... THE MIGHTIEST!"
His gigantic, over fifty-meter big arms constantly melting clashed against the city, flooding it with burning magma, constantly absorbing more buildings, and any other corpse within the vicinity!
BOOOOMMM!!!
"I WON... IT IS... MY VICTORY!"
His other arm clashed into the capital's plaza, burning whatever left of the beautiful greenery that was once grown in there...
CLAAASSSHH!!
"Hahaha... HAHAHAHA!"
His monstrous jaws opened, vomiting burning blood and magma everywhere, devastating whatever that was left of a once beautiful capital.n))o--v)(E)/l-/b/(1)(n
The area where so many people made their memories, where children once laughed and played around, and where people worked hard every day, completely unaware of the terrifying future that would one day befall upon them.
The place were thousands of lives were taken in the first invasion, and where thousands of more lives were taken in the next months and years after that...
"I WILL BURN IT ALL..." Satan continued laughing. "You pathetic humans... YOU'RE NOTHING BUT MERE INSECTS!"
As Satan laughed, the Vampire Spirits continued attacking him, their explosive attacks did little damage as he kept expanding and absorbing everything!
Eleanora's shuriken and spear attacks, her chains, and powerful draconic attacks seemed to do little to nothing, even less Hendrick's poisons and toxins, or Saphira's ghosts, and even Cecilia's water magic was barely doing much. Eriant was the only one with leftover Spirit energy to keep fighting, everyone else seemed exhausted.
Although Spirits could not get physically tired, they could exhaust their Spiritual Energy reserves, situated within their very bodies. If they overused such energies, they would even dissipate and instantly go back to their master's Spirit Orb.
They could absorb Blake's Mana to replenish their Spirit Energy, but that took much energy, and it would exhaust Blake from the last digits of Mana he had left, and that was not something they wanted.
The Familiars that Blake had summoned quickly moved, a squadron led by Draco reached Satan, clashing against him, but their strikes and attacks were futile as well, and they were beginning to be easily trampled on.
"INSECTS... YOU'RE ALL INSECTS BEFORE THE STRONGEST ARCHDEMON OF THEM ALL!"
Satan was too self-absorbed, an Archdemon that was born from his own Wrath, which let his emotions get the better of him. He was manipulated by Blake to go completely berserk, but at the same time, it was something that forced him to begin sacrificing a part of his very soul to obtain enough power to destroy it all.
His Wrathful Energies manifested themselves into his burning desire to destroy everything and become the strongest. To him all other living beings were ants, insects to trample on. Humans in specific, were the most amusing of insects, which he could not see as anything other than food or trash.
"HAHAHAHA! YOU WEAKLINGS!"
Satan kept expanding his body, growing new arms, and pummeling at his foes. The four Frost Dragons were still alive, completely weakened though, and covered in many wounds, they still had a few minutes of life, and they were using their frost magic to stop a part of Satan's body, barely doing much on their own.
"YOU'RE NEXT, VAMPIRE QUEEN ELEANORA!"
Satan laughed, roaring as his body shapeshifted, growing a gigantic Cerberus-like head, opening its jaws, and catching the tired Eleanora off-guard, attempting to devour her!
"Ah...!"
FLAAAASSSH!!!
However, before his jaws would reach her, the heavens above opened up, revealing a shining, brilliant ray of light, shaped into a divine stake, and piercing Satan's head!
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
"UUURRGGHHH...!"
As Satan's head crumbled apart, Elenora quickly recognized that light...
"Elizabeth! Everyone...!" A smile surged in the Vampire Queen's flawless face.
"Sorry for being late..." The Saintess said, her holy powers manifesting themselves to its limits! "[Heavenly Brilliance]!"
TRUUUUMMM...!
The skies once more started to shake, as the young Saintess manifested her powers once more, pushing her magic to her very limits, as a gigantic ray of brilliant holy spiritual light emerged!
"Through a connection with the Holy Spirit of Light, I can manifest a fragment of his Divinity!" Elizabeth thought. "This is... the true power of a Saintess! Now have a taste of Divine Punishment! [Divine Spirit Smite]!"
The light descending like a ray of brilliance shape itself into a gigantic hammer of pure radiance, clashing against Satan, who was trying to quickly crush Elizabeth with his gigantic volcanic claws!
BAAAAAAMMMM!!!
"UUURRGGHHHH...?! AAAAGGGHHH...!"
Satan not only felt his entire body crumbling apart constantly, but his very soul was hit directly, countless of small cracks appearing all across it!
Crack, crack...!
"Y-YOUUU...!"
