In a stupor of events that are endless that lasted the entire day, people are in a mess.
Gelmar, Dindora, and Linthia have been taking their time to control the others. Since the attack from the two cursed creatures, Dargena City sustained some damage and has already begun to repair itself.
But the other Supernaturals were in shock, the attack traumatized them.
Many were only complying with the Silverstar Pack thanks to the refuge that they were given. Even Gelmar, Dindora, and Linthia didn't think that hard despite Rex telling his enemies blatantly to them.
Due to that, the attack from the two cursed creatures opened their eyes completely.
Living inside the human territory for years and years, the safety brought by the Great Barricade pulls them away from large-scale battles. In their daily lives, the most they need to be wary of is an Awakened around the fourth to the fifth-rank realm.
An Awakened that they can deal alone as long as they are being careful.
It was the case for years, and they are already accustomed to that. But now, those two cursed creatures are not a joke. None of those two have marginal power that they can handle.
Each of them has an eighth-rank realm of power, rendering them all completely helpless.
Just earlier when the fight was still going, some of them were surprised by the insectoid creature that crashes through buildings at the combined might of Rex and Calidora that overwhelms it.
If not for the insectoid creature to retreat, they would've been butchered by it.
Gelmar and Dindora were the only ones that can still have a clear mind, and those two decided that they would handle the Supernaturals and the damages with more determination. In order to get a part in this place, they would need to work very hard.
Not only the insides, but the attack also impacted the outside of Dargena City.
Adhara, Evelyn, and Flunra sensed the convoy of Elves when they were in the Dark Elf Kingdom. King Jorik told them that the Elves would like to meet with Rex, and they have nothing to worry about.
But it was then, the three of them sensed something odd in the sky.
Flunra was the one that came out in order to check these odd and suppressed energies, yet the two sources of these energies flew past him so fast that he was unable to recognize the energy they were emitting.
It was only when the attack hits that Flunra realized that it was cursed energy.
Just when they were about to come back to aid Rex in fighting the two cursed creatures, Adhara got a telepathy note from Rex telling them to keep on pressing as the situation has already been handled.
Only a few minutes pass, and the battle has already ended.
Clearly, the two cursed creatures are planning to attack hard and fast with serious precision.
As it was an order from Rex directly, the three keeps pressing on and went to the Dwarven Kingdom to address the matter regarding the Amuerus Katana. Of course, the three are on full alert so as to not bump into the two cursed creatures.
Meanwhile, the two cursed creatures that cause this concern already flee to a distance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConfiding themselves with their cursed energy, the two cursed creatures met up beyond the territory of the Dark Elf, in a small volcanic terrain with a huge mountain at the center that they consider as safe.
Dealkandrax knelt on the ground, its chest area is leaking with cursed energy.
It was clear that Dealkandrax was hurt from the last attack Rex did which is amplified by Calidora's cursed energy, the fact that the cursed energy is leaking out violently undeniably indicates that.
Burrowing out of the ground is the Insectoid Creature, seemingly in a similar condition.
Screech!
"I gained most of the curse for Mother. The remnants left inside her are minuscule, there's no need for us to launch a second attack. Hex is also diminishing, more than this, and Mother will be hurt too" Dealkandrax replied with a low rasping tone.
Upon hearing this, the Insectoid creature reeled and sat down to recuperate.
Since the two of them know that Rex doesn't have any power in the cursed field, there shouldn't be any hiccups in the attack. No matter how strong he is, the two are invulnerable in the state of the Sacrificial Lamb.
Only cursed energy of the same essence and density can hurt them.
But that was all put down the drain when Calidora appeared and intercepted them, she somehow has access to power that matches even them, an unpredictable unfortunate event for them.
Now they were left in this injured state, recuperating before they can continue back.
About a couple of hours later as the two are recuperating silently to recover their strengths back which are slowly coming back thanks to the invasive cursed energy, the Insectoid creature stands up and turns its head around the place.
Compared to Dealkandrax, it sustained lesser yet still grievous injuries.
Screech!
Upon hearing the insectoid creature's bellowing screech, Dealkandrax nodded its head before going back to what it was doing, channeling its own cursed energy to repel Calidora's invasive cursed energy.
With that nod, the Insectoid creature clatters away, searching for something.
In a span of ten minutes of silence with only the sound of rumbling volcanic lava underneath the earth's crust filling the background, Dealkandrax heard the clattering metal sound of the insectoid creature coming back.
Opening its eyes, Dealkandrax saw that the insectoid creature's appearance changed.
Compared to ten minutes ago, the shining metallic appearance that the insectoid creature had are now battered with crimson blood color. The gaps between its scales are red, fresh blood coursing underneath its exoskeleton.
Activating its cursed energy, the fresh blood glowed and rapidly increases its regeneration.
Dealkandrax stretches its hand toward the insectoid creature before its cursed energy merges and Dealkandrax too got the same increase in regeneration. Thanks to that, their recuperation has hastened.
But then, both looks around when they caught a sense of something.
Screech!
Crash!
Unexpectedly, five figures blasted out of the ground and launch an immediate attack, catching both Dealkandrax and the Insectoid creature off guard. It was a precise and synchronized attack that gives them no time to react properly.
In a matter of seconds, Dealkandrax and the Insectoid creature got sent crashing away.
Just like that, the five figures were able to separate the two cursed creatures and stand in between them. Additionally, the timing of the attack was impeccable and immaculate to the point of perfection.
Dealkandrax and the insectoid creature recover, grunting in pain.
Since the attack from Rex and Calidora has wounded them severely, their hex has diminished completely, and now they aren't invulnerable like earlier. It would take some time before they can do that again.
Looking at the attackers, the two realized who they are dealing with.
In their line of sight, brimming with powerful energies that of an early eighth-rank realm power were five figures clad in a similar outfit. But instead of having the same contrast of color, three of them have a combination of ruby and black while the other two were deep blue and black.
Despite the beckoning sunlight, their bodies are shrouded in complete darkness.
Judging from their curvy and thin figures, these five figures should be females, Demoness to be exact as the aura they are emitting definitely belongs to the Demon race. Its hellish and burning sensation clearly showed that.
But instead of the regular scaly appearance of a Demon, these five took a humanoid look.
If not for the aura they are emitting, the ashy white skin, their humanoid form, and long hair that is tied into a ponytail make them easily mistaken as Vampires, especially the ones clad in contrast of red as their eyes are also gleaming red.
Looking at the demonic mark on their faces, Dealkandrax recognized these five.
"Demoness from the Executioner Tyro, First Inner Demon..."
Everyone excluding the modern humans would know and fear the group of Demons and Demoness called the Executioner Tyro, their lethality is renowned, and the ones standing at this place were none other than the First Inner Demon circle.
Only dispatched at the most important and highest difficulty of missions.
Back in the Ancient Era, the Demoness in the First Inner Demon circle was the cause of 11 Princes and Princesses' deaths from numerous races. One feat that stood out was the fact that they also managed to kill a King of the Werewolf race.
Huge names in the field of assassins, and their success rate is nigh perfect.
Even Dealkandrax and the insectoid creature know that they are in trouble. Not only are they in a weakened state, but the two of them know the power that makes the Demoness of the Executioner Tyro dangerous.
It was the fact that each can plead power from the Archdemons of the Seven Sins.
As trained assassins of the highest degree, the Demoness didn't mutter any word before their bodies started to rumble with intense demonic energy. Dealkandrax saw the mark on their faces started to transform.
The Red Demoness' mark covers half of its face while the Blue Demoness is a stripe.
From the looks of it and also the changes happening to their demeanor, the Red Demoness pleads to Valakar, the Archdemon of Wrath while the Blue Demoness pleads to Melphage, the Archdemon of Sloth.
Boom!
Inflicted with the wrath of Valakar, the Red Demoness launches their attacks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOut of the three, two of them went to the insectoid creature while the other one dashed straight at Dealkandrax with extreme speed, their gleaming red eyes were fueled with anger as their mind degraded to the servitude of berserk.
Crash!
Dealkandrax's protective barrier was hit by a powerful force, leaving a huge crack in it.
Glancing over the shoulder, Dealkandrax saw the Red Demoness charging its demonic energy into her claws, increasing her strength rapidly. Conjuring yet another barrier, Dealkandrax intends to tank it before launching a counter-attack.
But as the claws were about to connect, something happened.
Shatter!
Expecting the protective barrier to be able to block the attack again, Dealkandrax was surprised when the barrier shattered into a million pieces instead. A moment before the claws connected, the speed of her attack suddenly increased.
Shifting its attention away, Dealkandrax realized that it was the Blue Demoness' doings.
As the Blue Demoness pleads the power from Melphage, the Archdemon of Sloth, she has the ability to control time. Instead of slowing down time to force Dealkandrax's movement to be slower, she fastens the Red Demoness attack instead.
It was an easier method as the Red Demoness will not resist her power.
"Cursed Conjour, Haze of Destruction"
With a chant of Dealkandrax, a wave of cursed energy shoot forward from its eyes faster than the realm of eighth-rank realm attacks. Anything that got hit by it will find their bodies contorted into meat paste, and these Demoness are not susceptible to that attack.
Only hyper-powerful entities are capable of restricting that effect, only the ninth-rank realm.
"Now you implode, Demoness..."
Just as the Red Demoness was about to get hit by the wave of cursed energy, her entire being suddenly blurred, dodging the wave of cursed energy easily. It was so fast that in Dealkandrax's perspective, she phases through that wave of cursed energy.
SLASH!
Dealkandrax was hit in the next second in the face, slamming its body to the ground.
Knowing that its current state was not good enough to fight these Demonesses, especially thanks to Calidora's invasive cursed energy that restricted most of Dealkandrax's own cursed energy, there's only one way to respond to this attack.
It's not to insist on fighting and to flee instead, nothing good will come out of this.
Similar to what Dealkandrax was thinking about, the insectoid creature also burrowed itself into the ground after getting cornered by two Red Demonesses and one Blue Demoness. Nothing about this is good for them.
Just like that the two turns tails and ran away, trying to avoid the fight.
Of course, the Demoness didn't let them get away that easily and started pursuing them.
But if there's one thing that Dealkandrax and the insectoid creature can learn from this encounter is that the Demons have realized what they were trying to do, if not then they wouldn't unleash such a destructive force against them.
Five Executioners of Tyro are not a few numbers as the total members are only ten.
And from the looks of it, they are not going to stop until dispatching them all.
