Chapter 387: Dark Cage
Chapter 387: Dark Cage
The hundreds of thousands of demons in Evil City were all looking at the sky, where a battle of epic proportions started one hour ago.
A Demon Lord bathed in white lightning fought a human that controlled thousands of chains capable of piercing a continent.
Although it was the enemy, all the demons secretly hoped that the human would win and release them from the monster. However, deep inside their hearts, none of them thought that Evil could ever lose.
Ezequiel was being attacked from every possible direction by the black chains. They were incredibly fast, carried immense momentum, and the slightest touch with them would be enough to incinerate a Peak Rank 4 life form.
The Supreme Neo-Demon potentiated his existence with the Primordial Entropy Lightning, allowing every part of his body to show the different forces of water, wind, fire, earth, lightning, space, and time.
The uses of the Primordial Entropy Lightning did not end there. Ezequiel could overcharge a part of his body with the monstrous amount of energy inside the white lightning. That allowed that extremity to display an unbelievable power.
Hito was a life form at the 5th Engraving Stage. His body’s sturdiness was equal to a Rank 5 artifact, and yet Ezequiel’s hands penetrated his defenses like if they were nothing.
Of course, using Primordial Entropy Lightning that way had side effects. Not even Ezequiel’s body, who was the greatest in terms of potential and talent in the universe, could channel a tremendous amount of it without being injured.
Ezequiel’s six arms all carried the formless and soft power of water, allowing him to redirect all the chains that get close to him. Simultaneously, the rest of his body had the might of wind, allowing him to display incredible dexterity. The Supreme Neo-Demon also had a Lightning Constitution improving his overall physical strength.
Usually, the brain of a powerful life form can process much faster than the rest of his body, just like the Rank 5 life forms could see Zatiel movements with Shooting Star End but could not react to it.
Lightning Constitution allowed Ezequiel’s body to act as fast as his brain, enhancing his reaction speed to an unbelievable level.
Nevertheless, even with all of his gifts, Ezequiel was being overwhelmed. After all this time, he still had not been able to get close to Hiro to land another attack, and injuries were beginning to appear on his body.
The difference between their cultivation was just too significant. However, the Supreme Neo-Demon’s battle intent only grew stronger as the battle carried on despite the pressure.
It was only in battles like this, where his life was on the line, and the enemy was truly powerful, that the Supreme Neo-Demon could feel his potential growing and every part of his existence advancing.
Besides, Ezequiel was not someone who only knew how to follow his instincts. He had been staring at the human, waiting for the right moment, and then it happened.
Hiro’s body shivered, and he puked a mouthful of blood with pieces of his organs. The white lightning left on his wounds had been attacking him all this time, and he finally could not contain it.
The Supreme Neo-Demon saw how the thousands of giant chains froze. Immediately, he made his energy explode and channeled an even larger amount of Primordial Entropy Lightning into his body.
He did not end there since he increased his battle power even more by using the Nine Primordial Steps.
Ezequiel’s body was like an unstoppable force as he destroyed every obstacle in his path, and in an instant, he was less than ten meters away from the middle-aged man.
Hiro’s eyes widened when he saw the Supreme Neo-Demon so close to him, but as a seasoned warrior, his battle experience was not something to laugh about.
Hundreds of chains emerged from his mouth and formed a cocoon around him.
The Supreme Neo-Demon’s eyes shone with coldness when he saw this. Without hesitation, he overcharged three of his arms with Primordial Entropy Lightning.
Two of the arms carrying the combined destructive might of lightning and fire and the severing force of wind cut open the chain cocoon before exploding.
Under Hiro’s horrified gaze, the last overcharged arm struck him right above the area where his heart resided.
The Supreme Neo-Demon lost another arm, but the middle-aged man felt like a meteorite had fallen from the sky and landed right on his chest.
Hiro felt all of his ribs shattering and his heart being severely injured. Still, despite the damage, he was able to gain back control of his chains and sent them all at Ezequiel.
The Supreme Neo-Demon intended to continue with his attacks. However, even his body could not resist thousands of giant chains striking him at the same time.
Using the power of water, wind, and lightning, he dodged as many of the chains as he could. The might of earth increased his physical defenses, and the healing force of fire mended his wound, stopping them from diminishing his battle power.
The moment he was able to catch his breath, Ezequiel immediately flashed back toward Hiro.
The middle-aged man’s condition was horrible. The last attack severely wounded his heart and deposited an incredible amount of white lightning in his chest.
Hiro saw Ezequiel coming back to finish the job, and wrath appeared in his eyes.
‘If I use that, I will have spent all of my energy and give up my body.’
The soul was an individuals’ core, but the body was also essential, especially for Rank 5 life forms. Losing it would severely harm their potential and drastically reduce their battle power. It would be almost impossible to return to their peak once destroyed.
Despite that, Hiro’s eyes burned with conviction as he prepared to use his ultimate move.
Ezequiel detected the changes in his opponent, but that only made his battle intent grow. He flashed forward, taking three Primordial Steps at once, pushing his soul, body, energy, and the amount of World Strength at his disposal to the next level.
Deep cuts appeared in the Supreme Neo-Demon’s body, and his organs were starting to shut down due to the stress produced by the Primordial Steps and Primordial Entropy Lightning.
Thanks to that sacrifice, Ezequiel found himself once again in front of Hiro, and this time he was ready to land the finishing blow. His eyes were completely white as he detected the biggest flaw in the human’s body.
Just as the Supreme Neo-Demon’s leg was about to shatter the middle-aged man’s head, the energy of this one exploded along with his life force.
Dark chains materialized around the Supreme Neo-Demon’s extremities. They were smaller than the chains that had emerged from Hiro’s arm, but their power was much higher.
Ezequiel attempted to get rid of them, but to his shock, the new chains were able to seal his energy, and even the Primordial Entropy Lightning was affected.
“Dark Cage!” Hiro roared those words as darkness emerged from inside his body and began to form a cage around Ezequiel.
“Die, you fucking monster. Be crushed under enough gravity to distort space and time and a burning force capable of incinerating a world!”
As the cage was closing down, Hiro saw how the Supreme Neo-Demon smiled and heard four words.
“One with the Law.“
