"SO DAMN COLD...! YOU BASTARDS!"

Mammon roared with demonic fury, his demonic flames rapidly mixing with his spiritual powers once more, as he unleashed three more eruptions of flames from the ground.

This time, aside from trying to cover his own body with them to melt Elfriedden's Divine Draconic Ice, he fired some at him directly, from the left and right, all while he was already taking down a huge mass of living demonic spiritual flames.

Because indeed, these flames were somewhat alive, they moved on their own, roared, and were pretty much chasing after targets. This was the reason they were so hard to kill! Mammon was figuring out a way to grant "life" to pretty much anything by fusing them with spiritual energy.

"Dammit!"

Elfriedden saw the two seas of rainbow and demonic flames approaching, quickly gripping his fists and attempting to escape, only for the flames he thought he had turned off to suddenly regain some of their power, forming giant chains wrapped around his legs!

"SHAAAH!"

The flames roared and hissed at him, showing hundreds of different, demonic heads coming out from them, these flames were not just alive, they were synthetized out of the souls of the demons Mammon was constantly devouring!

"What?! Ugh...! NO!"

Elfriedden was about to encase himself on a dome of ice to resist the incoming flames, while he used his sharp needles to destroy the flames beneath. However, that tactic alone was already too dangerous!

BOOOM! BOOOM!

Both Living Demonic Spirit Flames clashed against Elfriedden in the last moment, his dome of ice, a barrier of divine draconic frost he created around his body rapidly began to shatter and melt!

Crack, crack...!

"You have to be kidding me! I can't handle this on my own?!"

As he felt frustrated once more that Mammon was targeting him to this extent, Elfriedden tried to harness more and more of his icy powers, but the frost, although powerful, could not handle so many living flames at once.

It was only natural, he was very strong, but there were limits even to the strong.

"Where could those idiots have gone to now from- Ah!"

As Elfriedden saw his barrier about to shatter, two figures rushed from the skies. Both were bratty teenager boys with overly muscular bodies, young warriors whose powerful bodies were encompassed on flames of their own.

Mammon noticed the three powerful young men approaching, his entire body continued birthing demonic spirits, as an army of three hundred demonic spirits of all shapes and sizes greeted them!

"Demonic Spirits?!" Chris asked, shocked to see them here.

"How can it create them so easily?!" Erdrich had bad memories about them.

"Don't mind their existence, just kill them!" Elfriedden said. "We must procure the safety of the citizens, their spirits... are not important! Their lives are, destroy the spirits if they get in front of our path, don't hesitate. As the last remaining member of the royal family, I give you permission!"

As Elfriedden roared, Chris and Erdrich nodded, smiling, their bodies flared with spiritual and demonic flames respectively. Their bodies bulged with stronger muscles as they quickly enhanced their physical prowess.

"If you insist...!"

"No mercy then!"

Both blazing giants rushed forward, Chris Axes and Erdrich Fists slashed and tore through the Demonic Spirits with tremendous firepower. Within seconds, they had already gone through half of the army. These Spirits were strong, their power even being comparable to A+ Rank monsters.

However, before this trio, they were nothing but fodder. Elfriedden stayed behind them, covering their backs from incoming blows and summoning as many needles as he could, firing them as deadly projectiles.

Due to his Talent and Skills, Elfriedden's needles could deal bonus damage against anybody, and ended being much more lethal than any of his other projectile shapes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As Blake watched his friends cover that area, he and Erika decided to go all out, Mammon was already beginning to stand back up, his wings spread further, becoming larger and more menacing.

Despite all the damage he had taken, the Archdemon was planning something again!

"Erika, release all your draconic power now, you have my permission!"

"I'll do!"

Both of them transformed their bodies becoming hundreds of meters tall!

RUMBLE!

A battle of titans was about to begin.
