Chapter 423: Devil Dukes’ fight (II)
The Darkness Poison Duke penetrated the crimson sun, and his hand was about to pierce Duke Krior’s head.
Duke Krio’s face showed no emotion as he detected the attack about to destroy his brain. His eyes glowed before his entire body vibrated and transformed into dots of light that flashed up.
The Devil Marquises saw Duke Krior dodge the attack before positioning himself above his enemy and aiming his right palm at him.
Duke Krior’s palm shot a beam of yellow fire that moved at the speed of light!
Zatiel’s eyes narrowed as he saw Duke Krior’s spell speed. Even with the help of Shooting Star End, there was no way he could dodge that attack from such a short distance.
The Shooting Star Bloodline may grant unmatchable speed, but that only was true when you and your enemy were in the same Rank.
‘At most, I could twist my body so the beam would land in a no vital organ.’
As that thought crossed the Neo-Demon’s mind, he saw how the Darkness Poison Duke’s Order Aura exploded, and the Pit Fiend’s lower body instantly transformed into that of a snake, and his figure became thinner.
The Darkness Poison Duke showed incredible dexterity, agility, and martial skill, by twisting his body and dodging the yellow beam of fire that moved at light speed.
‘Order Snake Heart!’ Zatiel immediately recognized the ability the Pit Fiend used by consuming part of his Order Aura.
A Devil Duke is capable of many incredible abilities after being baptized by Baator’s core laws. The Order Snake Heart allowed the Darkness Poison Duke to adopt a snake form, exponentially increasing his speed and agility but diminishing his physical strength.
The Rank 6 Pit Fiend dodged the yellow fire beam and immediately used the Darkness Essence to increase the thickness of space in a one hundred thousand kilometers radius, diminishing everyone’s speed inside it.
Duke Krior felt how space became dense, making all motion slower. This thickness significantly reduced his speed and hindered his ability to move as photons.
Things only became worse for the Devil Duke, as he saw a tail covered in Withering Essence coming at him with a fantastic speed and momentum.
Snake Order Heart reduced the Darkness Poison Duke’s physical might, but it was still much higher than his opponent.
Instead of attempting to dodge the tail, Duke Krior clenched his fist. For an instant, the Yuru Continent was filled with darkness, as all the light in it gathered into the Devil Duke’s body, forming an armor of solidified light.
Zatiel’s eyes narrowed when he saw that armor and the danger Duke Krior presented in his mind escalated once again.
‘He can use Solid Light. That ability not only is hard to master, but it also requires a Law of Light at the Half Completion level. Either his law comprehension attained that level, or his Demonic Bloodline reached Peak Emperor.’
Solid Light is incredibly flexible, can take any form, and its hardness surpasses standard Rank 6 Artifacts.
Right now, a shell of Solid Light not only covered the exterior of Duke Krior’s body but also embraced his inner organs, muscles, and bones, enhancing the Devil Duke’s defense exponentially.
The Darkness Poison Duke was not surprised by the appearance of Solid Light, but his eyes narrowed when he felt Duke Krior’s right arm burning.
The instant the tail covered in Withering Essence and Order Aura clashed with the flaming arm protected by Solid Light, an explosion that made the Yuru continent tremble occurred.
Tongues of fire and waves of grey energy filled the sky, breaking even more space and forcing the Devil Marquises to adopt evasive maneuvers.
The tail and arm carried enough strength to pulverize a small star, and if they landed directly in a continent, they would have broken it apart.
Fear appeared in the Skull Dragon and Infernal Rage Titan’s faces. They were just one Law Essence away from forming their Inner Law Dimension, but the difference in strength between them and the Devil Dukes was unfathomable.
What happened next shocked the duo even more. The Devil Marquises saw Duke Krior and the Darkness Poison Duke exit the explosion with shallow wounds.
The attacks that could have killed the Skull Dragon and Infernal Rage Titan barely harmed the Devil Dukes.
The Devil Dukes did not wait for a second before flashing at each other. When they were about to clash, the Darkness Poison Duke once again made space viscous, hindering both of their speeds.
Duke Krior knew he could not dodge his enemy with the alteration on space. The Pit Fiend’s natural form had physical might that surpassed the defensive power of the Solid Light’s armor, but he was not worried.
While the Darkness Poison Duke made space viscous and dense, Duke Krior manipulated Solid Light and put his two hands together before forming a cannon.
Duke Krior acted with impressive agility. Less than a millisecond after completing the cannon, he unleashed a giant beam of yellow fire.
The yellow fire beam was hundreds of thousands of meters wide but still displayed lightspeed.
The Marquises saw how the attack consumed the Darkness Poison Duke and wondered whether he had perished.
Zatiel and Eon Six knew the fight was far from over. They saw how the Pit Fiend melted into the darkness and fused with space right before the beam landed.
Of course, Duke Krior also knew his attack failed, but he was not surprised. If the Pit Fiend were so easy to kill, then he would have never become a Devil Duke.
The dwarf Devil Duke looked up, and for the first time since the fight started, a sliver of fear appeared on his face.
The Devil Lords followed Duke Krior’s sight, and the next instant, they saw a monstrous dragon with a burning heart of black flames and a body more than five million meters long appear in the sky.
Zatiel immediately identified the Pit Fiend’s Order Dragon Heart ability. This form allowed the Darkness Poison Duke’s energy and soul force to fuse into his cells, and his Hollow Sun Domain took the form of a heart.
The Darkness Poison Duke lost all of his magical abilities and could not fire spells, but the physical might he obtained was off the charts.
Without hesitation, the Order Dragon fell from the sky with strength and moments so immense that sundered space and tornadoes formed around him.
Duke Krior was still trapped in the dense space and could not dodge the dragon’s dive. He raised his left hand, forming dozens of Solid Light shields in the Pit Fiend’s path while charging flames into his right arm.
The shields barely affected the Order Dragon’s momentum, but they slowed him down enough for Duke Krior’s to load oceans of fire into his right arm.
What happened next was a mythical scene. A small man covered in armor of light connected a fist into the head of a demonic dragon who fell with a meteorite’s momentum.
“BOOOOOOM!”
A ball of fire more than ten thousand kilometers wide appeared when Duke Krior’s punch landed in the Order Dragon’s head and unleashed a shock wave that pushed even the Devil Marquises flying away.
