637 Against The Living Demon Gate
—–
Eleanora was surprised Eric, Alberta, and Erdrich have appeared to support her. But then again, they were also her friends. She grew up with all of them through all these years, and it was quite obvious they would feel worried about whatever she was doing, even if she was a Spirit.
“Hoh, you’re here! Good timing.” She giggled.
“Eleanora, tell us what we need to do!” Said Eric.
“We’ve come to help out!” Alberta said.
“Once we get this done, there’s no way I’m not punching that giant bastard over there though, so let’s hurry!” Said Erdrich.
“Our task is simple, maintain the demons at bay so we can destroy that Living Demon Gate!” Eleanora said, summoning thousands of shuriken and slicing apart the demons on her way with her spear.
“I SHALL NOT FALL SO EASILY, HUMANS!” The Living Demon Gate spoke, exuding the powerful aura of a Demon Lord itself! “LORD BEELZEBUB SHALL TAKE THIS WORLD AS HIS OWN!”
However, the Living Demon Gate was indeed alive. It wasn’t merely some artifact or something, but an entity Beelzebub created using his own flesh, blood, and soul, and also his Demonic Magical Powers.
It exuded the power of a Demon Lord, and it wasn’t something that could be taken lightly. Eleanora alone was thinking about blowing herself up like before in an attempt to slay it, but if she had Eric, Alberta, and Erdrich helping her out, then things seemed much more possible.
…In practice.
“Eric, Alberta, attack from afar. Erdrich, come with me, we’re going to crush that thing head-on!” Said Eleanora.
“Got it!” Erdrich rushed forwards, his very presence unleashing shockwaves of Ki, Mana, and Demonic Energy that spread everywhere, crushing countless demons.
“Alright!” Eric nodded.
“The Golems I’ve prepared should be enough defenses!” Alberta said.
Alberta quickly opened her Dimensional Pouch capable of storing many things bigger than the pouch’s size, as she took out a dozen of metallic spheres the size of watermelons, imbuing mana into them and then throwing them into the ground.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
FLAAAASH!
They unleashed an aura of spiritual and mana energy, combining together and forcing a transformation, as they all suddenly started growing larger and larger, resembling giant, metallic golems with red colored stripes and a synthetized spiritual core in their chests!
“Uoooh! Amazing, Alberta!” Eric was surprised over her latest creation.
“E-Eheheh… R-Right? I-I was going to leave them for later b-but I guess I don’t have any choice now!” She said while ordering her golems to cover their back. “Now, guard us and defend us!”
“GRUOOHHH!” The golem roared with metallic voices, beginning to punch the demons, blast them with lasers, or crush them with their heavy weapons.

“[Spirit Technique]: [Spiritual Domain of Yggdrasil]!”
FLAAAAAASH!
The arid ground suddenly grew grass, flowers, and dozens of gigantic spirit trees everywhere, fusing with vines and more, and then beginning to move on their own. The trees became giant fists, punching the demons, while the vines coiled around them like snakes.
Meanwhile, the aura that the domain emanated healed minor wounds, restored stamina, and also weakened demons. It was one of Eric’s strongest Spirit Techniques, which fused both of his spirits into the ground itself to create a powerful domain that both protected, attacked, and healed.
This coupled with Alberta’s powerful golems made for an incredible defense. The two then proceeded to blast everything by shooting spiritual arrows and explosive missiles everywhere, although they made sure to clear the path for Eleanora and Erdrich, and constantly targeting any Demon that came from the Living Demon Gate’s portal leading to the Demon Tower of Gluttony.
CLAASH! CRAAASH! SLAAAASH! BAAAAM!
Eleanora and Erdrich rushed forward, crushing and slicing apart countless demons that tried to get in their way. They had once struggled against a Demon General, but now they were easily crushing them like bugs through their overwhelming strength.
“Although this Gate is Alive and as strong as a Demon Lord, why are there no stronger demons coming out of it?!” Wondered Erdrich. Punching a dozen demons with enormous, overwhelming strength to the point they started exploding into pieces.
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
“Well, depending in the class and rank of a Demon Gate, certain types of demons and ranks can come out. This is why not just any Gate can summon powerful Demons. This Gate was made hurriedly through the usage of Beelzebub’s second vessel’s flesh, and a bit of his soul, therefore, it is a Living Demon gate as strong as a low-rank Demon Lord, but it still incapable of summoning Demon Lord Rank Demons itself.” Said Eleanora, explaining things in detail while beheading three Demon generals with a swing of her spear.
S L A A A A A S S H!
“So for a Demon Gate that strong, necessary materials are needed.” Said Erdrich, finally understanding how it worked and satiating his curiosity a bit.
“Why? Do you want to open a Demon Gate or something?” Giggled Eleanora.
“I was just thinking that if we could create our own, we could directly enter the Demon Towers.” Said Erdrich. “But that would be too hard to do now, isn’t it?”
“You’re smart, boy. But indeed, it would be too complicated now!” Eleanora said. “Fear not, because my lord will begin doing such things in the near future… For now, let’s get rid of this problem first.”
Leaving a trail of bloodied corpses behind, Eleanora and Erdrich reached the Living Demon Gate at long last, as its countless red eyes glared at them furiously.
“GRRRHHH! You’re slaying my demons so easily! How dare you! DIE!” Roared the Living Demon Gate furiously, as dozens of giant tentacles surged from beneath the ground, unleashing countless whipping attacks!
