Chapter 780: Punishing the Wrongdoers
The giant locust and the snake that wrapped around the world.
The two’s arrogance was so great that it had earned them numerous nicknames, but now they knew they had fallen into a trap and were desperately trying to run away from Davey.
The power that made the world shake was moving away from Davey, and huge muscle rabbits were emerging from the ground, chasing after them while making strange sounds. Their numbers seemed to double by the second.
Soon, the number of muscle rabbits increased from hundreds to thousands. They popped up at random, like a necromancer summoning an army, and rushed toward the fleeing beasts. They were like berserkers charging at enemies.
Thud, thud, thud!!
As the ground trembled and the white, chaotic phenomenon continued, Davey made a bewildered expression.
“Why are you still alive when your friend has gone to be with the Lord?”
Davey was astonished to see him still alive even after having his inner elixir removed, as it was equivalent to a human having their heart ripped out.
[Oh, don't be so surprised. I'm simply a bit of a unique case—I just so happen to have two livers, which are basically my lives.]
Normally, even those with immortal powers died without a trace when they were slashed with the authority of Super Ribbon. Davey wondered if he was a special case like the First Lich, Nyx, that Davey couldn’t kill and had to seal.
He then spoke in a fairly relaxed voice.
[Thanks to you, I can’t manifest, only able to talk like this.]
“And so you’re going to follow me, someone who tried to kill you?”
[I mean, I’ve never experienced something quite like that! Your feistiness and unhesitating cruelty was really... ha...]
Davey felt as if hives were breaking out all over his body as he heard the creature gasp for air like a pervert. The sensation he felt was something truly awful, far beyond the Black Tortoise’s masochism. As he began to question the meaning of life, he quickly shook off the thoughts and put his hands on the ground to chase the two ancient beasts running away from him.
As soon as Davey touched the ground that had been contaminated by the power of the ancient demonic beasts, it was instantly purified. After a moment, he then stood up and drove the tip of Super Ribbon into the earth.
[I command you in the name of the Imperfect Death Lord.]
[I bestow you with a new objective.]
A blue-red sword energy emerged from Super Ribbon and soon seeped deep into the ground.
Crack! Crack!!
As the ground split, Davey crouched and jumped up into the air. He didn’t use flying magic to keep his body in place, which meant it was only natural for him to drop again due to gravity. However, there was a reason he hadn’t relied on magic.
Swoosh!
A giant black dragon made of massive bones appeared and carried Davey. Despite its enormous size, the dragon tore through the darkened sky at incredible speed, and just like any loyal servant, quickly caught up to the fleeing gigantic snake.
Davey figured that Yom couldn’t have gone far, given his massive size. Moreover, the white rabbits, running at incredible speeds, blocked his path, pouncing on him in bizarre postures as if they were trying to show off their muscles. And even if they were eaten or sent flying by his tail, even more rabbits would rush in to take him down.
Yom had summoned the small snakes, which had first attacked the demon city, to fight back, but they were no match for the overwhelming number of bizarre muscle rabbits.
[Kaaa!! Get away, you traitor!!]
Despite Yom’s wailing, the rabbits continued to attack him.
Sling...
As the rabbits distracted Yom, Davey saw his opportunity to attack. He aimed the tip of Super Ribbon right between the snake's eyes and jumped down, kicking off the back of the dragon.
[You dare come for me? I’ll bite and swallow you whole!]
Sensing the huge energy pouring from the sky, Yom turned his gaze toward Davey and rushed at him with his mouth wide open. As Davey fell from the sky, light followed him like a comet's tail. As he collided with Yom, a huge shock wave formed.
Davey assumed that Yom had a trick up his sleeve to think that he could swallow him in one bite. Without hesitation, Davey aimed his sword downward and cast a large amount of buff magic on himself. He unleashed the demonic sword’s pinnacle skill aimed precisely toward Yom's mouth.
[Demonic [Spirit] Sword 80th Form]
[Dying to Live, Living to Die]
Crack!!
Sword energy poured out like a whirlwind, digging into Yom's head that was trying to devour Davey. When Davey landed on the floor, Yom's huge body tore into pieces as if a huge bomb had exploded inside it. In an instant, half of his body evaporated.
"Ah!!!" Davey screamed in regret. “Damn it! My precious snake wine ingredient!!”
Davey couldn’t have cared less about the locust, but he knew he should’ve left the snake’s body intact. Even though he was upset, he didn't forget to retrieve the inner elixir from the shattered body. The Absolute Gem ravenously absorbed the power of Yom.
Thud, thud!
Davey then let out black demonic force from one hand and pure white divine power from his other hand. Gonda and the other demons that saw Davey made astonished faces. He then mumbled something and floated a sphere of pure white light in the air.
Gleam!!
A warm energy seeped out, creating a huge cross of light in the sky over the city. Pure white feathers began falling down, bringing the shriveled demons back to their feet.
"This... This is a miracle... It’s a miracle from the Demon God..." Gonda mumbled. His mumbling invigorated everyone. Those who had been watching the situation in a daze saw Davey take a step from the castle wall toward the swarm of locusts pouring down violently once again. Everyone knelt down with reverential expressions.
“I command you to take revenge on those who destroyed your home and your food.”
[Swap]
As the demonic energy began to permeate into the demons, divine energy seeped into the demons, giving them completely different powers.
“Don’t think they can kill you without my permission. Don’t be scared, just crush them to survive.”
Pow!!
Then a demon who swung their weapon at a giant locust looked dumbfounded. This was because the halberd they were holding made the hard body of a human-sized locust explode into pieces upon contact.
That wasn't all.
Even though they were stabbed by the sharply hewn legs of locusts, they remained unharmed, showing incredible defense. After witnessing this, everyone glanced down at their hands, realizing that the demon had displayed powers beyond what any single demon should be capable of. They realized that the Demon King had given them great power.
Nevertheless, Demon King Davey saw some still hesitating. He frowned and shouted with an enormous voice that echoed throughout the city.
“Do you not like me, the Demon King?! Are you afraid of me?! Then don’t throw your life away in vain, and don’t even think about engraving your name on a tombstone without my permission!!”
“Aaaaaah!!!”
Thud!! Thud!! Thud!!
With his shout and the ironic realization that the Demon King was the one who had saved them from the locust attack, they all struck their halberds against the ground in unison.
“Take revenge!!”
“Kill those things!!”
“We can’t stay afraid forever!”
The demons who stood up had regained their fighting spirit. Davey knew that no matter how strong they became, it would be difficult to be truly effective against the black swarms of locusts. Even so, he figured it would be enough if they could just withstand the swarm’s attacks.
"What will you... the Demon King...”
Finally, in response to the security leader's question, Demon King Davey stabbed Super Ribbon into the ground and spoke.
“While you hold out, I’ll deal with the culprit of this disaster. So, don't die and hold on.”
With those words, his form turned into a flash of light as he flew up. At the same time, countless legions of unknown undead and mysterious white muscled rabbits that seemed to have come from nowhere came down from the sky and charged toward the approaching swarms of locusts.
Gonda, looking at this scene, immediately asked a subordinate demon soldier who approached him.
"Hey, Patrick."
"Yes?"
“Didn’t you say you lost your son in the war with humans?”
"Yes."
“Then you must hate the Demon King.”
"Yes, that’s right sir. Honestly, I don’t like him. Even now, if I were capable of it, I would kill him,” said the soldier wielding a weapon.
“But I’m a little confused, because in this situation where even the city lord has run away, the one who’s saving us is actually the Demon King. And also...”
Patrick raised his halberd and spoke while facing the swarm of locusts.
“As the Demon King said, we can’t let ourselves die before we take revenge.”
At his words, Gonda grabbed his own weapon as well and screamed.
“Stand your ground and block those damn monster locusts!!”
Enormous aerial flying undead monsters rushed toward the locusts as if they were missiles.
