"I am fairly sure we sealed him back then! Lord Asmodeus couldn't kill him because he was a pillar of Hell, he would keep reviving… Unless Lucifer was killed, the Archdemons would eternally revive." Eleanora said.
"Uwaah, it is a gross big fly!" Saphira said.
"GGRRRRRHHHH…! AS… MO… DEUS?! DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT NAME BEFORE ME, YOU WORMS!"
An enormous mass of flies emerged, transforming the four souls of the cultists into an aberrant swarm of Demon Flies, Lesser Rank Demonic Beasts, exclusive monsters that Beelzebub can create.
"…I SEE! So you've caught with my cultists, Asmodeus- No, Blake!"
He spoke directly to me.
I guess there's no point in hiding anymore.
"Yeah, they suck at hiding. I was able to tell where they were from a mile away." I said, revealing my presence by creating a faint illusion of my body, without any face made from the spiritual power of my three spirits through the Tier 3 Soul Magic Spell {Astral Projection}.
"YOUUU…! I did heard that Lucifer revived you, but I can't believe we meet so soon upon your death! Now look at you, a pathetic human worm instead of the Vampire you used to be! Gahahahaha!"
"And you're still a nasty and disgusting bug, just like you used to be."
"TCH…! Don't get too cocky, Asmodeus! You might had been able to kill my men, but you'll soon see how wrong you are if you think you've won! For now, have it your way! I'll make sure to see your despairing face one day!"
The flies continued to multiply in large quantities.
"…And I'll see that day comes as soon as possible!"
The Swarm of Flies suddenly started to meld together, shapeshifting into a giant, aberrant fly monster of over four meters tall. Its exoskeleton was hard and metallic in appearance, and its red eyes glowed eerily as its wings began flapping rapidly.
I remember this monster, or well, this Demon. An Aberrant Beelzefly, one of the many Demons Beelzebub can create and control. This one's good at spreading disease and poison, specifically. I guess this was his parting gift, how childish of him to sacrifice the souls of his sect members just to summon this thing.
The monstrous creature quickly attempted to free itself from within the Shadow Zone, only to be dragged by countless tentacles down. Its power was the real deal though, overflowing with Demonic Energy, it was probably as strong as a C Rank monster, or slightly higher.
But it was already trapped inside the Shadow Zone and three of my spirits were here. And as if they needed some more help…
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
I quickly summoned several Familiars, from Fenrirs to Wyverns and Boars, as I ordered them all to attack the Beelzefly to create an opportunity for the rest.
CRASH! SLASH! BOOM! CRAAASH!
Slashing attacks, bites, fiery breath, all sorts of blows reached the aberrant fly. However, the monster's exoskeleton was hard, easily helping it block all blows.
It quickly swung its front limbs, slashing through the Familiars and slicing them apart by the dozens. I was losing my Summons rapidly, but the three Vampires quickly approached it while the Familiars bought them time.
"[Ninjutsu]: {Shadow Clones}!"
Eleanora used her Ninjutsu skill, generating four more Clones of herself, which were further reinforced through her Illusion Skill. The Beelzefly quickly attempted to destroy them, opening its jaws and unleashing a breath attack of darkness and poison.
"I'll take care of that foul breath for you, my friend."
Hendrick interrupted the Beelzefly's as he manipulated a wave of poisonous smog and quickly capured its foul breath attack, dragging it towards him.
The poison suddenly gathered atop his head, an enormous sphere of purple and black color began to compress itself, suddenly turning into a beautiful jewel through his Alchemy Abilities.
"What a beautiful gift, I'll be taking this for my next creations, dear fly!"
The Beelzefly was left speechless, only seconds before Eleanora's blows reached it from behind. Her four clones and her main body all attacked together, using the evolved spear of Envy as waves of abyssal darkness coming from all her surroundings shaped into jaws alongside a sea of blood, which shaped itself into endless spears accompanying the rest of her attacks!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The Beelzefly agonizingly cried, its exoskeleton being torn apart as countless holes adorned its body. However, the monster suddenly unleashed a shockwave of demonic energy, throwing away Eleanora momentarily.
Blue flames emerged around its surroundings, this was Demon Fire, one of the most basic demon magic spells. The flames concentrated and then erupted into the skies of this Shadow Zone, the aberrant fly attempted to destroy it with a powerful blow.
The eruption of Demon Flames reached the skies of the Shadow Zone, slowly beginning to pierce through the invisible walls of shadows composing it. But as long as I had mana, they weren't going to be pierced so easily.
"[Phantom Blood Arts]: {Phantasmal Chains}!"
Suddenly, chains made of phantom wrapped around the Beelzefly, conjured by my little Saphira. The little Specter girl quickly shapeshifted the rest of her body as countless Phantasmal Claws surged, dragging the Beelzefly into the ground as the beast was unable to resist!
The monster was surprised at every second, incapable of comprehend how my vampires were so strong. I guess it was summoned for naught, Beelzebub thought it would somehow bring me a difficult time, but this thing was just some walking materials and extra EXP.
With that order, the power of [Command] activated, my spirit's stats overflowing as the three Vampires unleashed their blows, blood, shadows, venom, and phantom pierced through the demon's body mercilessly, this was more one-sided than I imagined. In mere seconds, the foul monster was torn to shreds.
My Grimoire quickly showed me the results.
[You've slain [Aberrant Beelzefly (C+ Rank)] x1!]
[EXP has been multiplied thanks to [Hard Worker]!]
[You earned 550000 EXP!]
