Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

That's right, the ogre king deftly avoided his attack and came down from the sky on his own accord, making it almost seem like his attack worked.

Looking down at the three kings who all seemed unfazed even after enduring his attacks Simon grinned. This was going to be interesting.

SPAT… Shasurna spat the blood from his mouth and glared at the demon tauntingly.

"Is that all you have got? Your ability is impressive for someone of your level. However, you are in the end just a little bit stronger than out direct subordinates. You are overestimating yourself if you think that you are our match".

Yverza and Gil-Garna had nothing to say, they were of the same mind. Although the demon shocked them with his unexpected strength which managed to even injure them, it was just that.

They were still stronger.

"Heh, you don't say. I was just warming up myself. You see it's been a while since I exercised my body like that. I had almost forgotten how it felt"

Conceited and prideful, if the other party thought that they could match up to him in these aspects, they were severely mistaken.

"You want to take us on your own? Don't fuck with me" Shasurna was furious. Never did he expect that he would be looked down on like that by someone who was lower level than them.

"Wait, Shasurna. Since this demon wants to fight us on his own, it is better for us. In fact, it is the best possible scenario we can hope for. If we defeat the demon and capture him, the ones standing over there won't be able to do anything"

Gil-Garna observed Melinda and the others who moved back. Given their stance, it was clear that they weren't going to intervene.

This was good for them, the demon was clearly over his mind and had challenged them on his own. There could be no better outcome for them than this.

Yverza nodded his head "You are right, it's a good thing for us. Since that is the case, leave the demon to me. I take the responsibility to defeat him"…

Shasurna arched narrowed his onyx like eyes at those words "No, no, what are you saying. I shall be the one to face him. Leave defeating the demon to me".

"I believe you guys have forgotten something important. The whole endeavour to defeat the demon was mine. As such, leave him to me" Gil-Garna joined in.

For a moment, the three kings started bickering among themselves. Now that they no longer trusted each other, they wanted to be the one to defeat the demon. After all, it was pretty obvious that one who got hold of the demon first would be able to gain an edge over the other.

This was no longer just a battle with the demon but one that would decide the overall victory of this entire endeavour. All three of them wanted to face the demon.

While this was happening…

"Are you sure you guys can distract yourselves in this moment". Simon's voice rang out.

At the same moment, gigantic bolts of lightning dropped from the sky like pillars of light. They dropped down with devastating momentum and left nowhere to escape.

[Thunder Magic Mastery]- [Thunder Descent] a large AOE advanced magic. However, that was not all, to make matters troublesome, the ability of Dark Deprivation was also conferred to it.

BOOM… BOOM… BOOM… as the magic rocked the floor, it also deprived the senses of the three kings who were caught in it.

"Enough you bastard!!" Frustrated out of his mind, Shasurna was the first one to rush out. He brandished his harpoon and called forth extreme freezing cold that wrapped around the demon freezing his muscles and bones and sealing him in place.

"Heh" a condescending smile appeared on his face. In the end, all it took was one move. Just as the Emerald Viperlord was marvelling at his power, the ice statue started trembling.

Numerous cracks appeared on it and before long, it shattered into numerous fragments. A black shadow hurriedly rushed from amidst it, its speed almost blinding.

In the blink of an eye, that shadow was already upon the snakemen.

Shasurna didn't have time to react, before he knew it he was grabbed by the tail and flunged around like he was some king of doll.

[Herculean Strength], [Body Empowerment], [Abstruse Demonic Eyes], [Herculean Agility], [Ultra Enhanced Endurance], [Herculean Magic], [Ultra Enhanced Defence], [Demon Marquess' Esteem], [Demon Nobility Resillience]...

Simon activated all of his augmentation skills further enhancing his strength. Not only that, while flinging the snakemen around he also took out his burnt sword with his other hand to increase his stats even further.

A wild energy similar to a raging typhoon erupted out of Simon. If previously even after he activated the Ancestral Demonic symbol there was still a large gap between him and the three kings who stood at the peak of their class, then now that gap had been further bridged.

After activating his numerous augmenting skills, he was like a maddened beast unable to be contained.

"For a being such as you who calls himself as one of the seven kings to fall for the Demon's tricks, you should be ashamed of yourself" Gil-Garna spat looking at the miserable appearance of his counterpart.

Who would have expected for the king of the snakemen, the Emerald Viperlord to be turned into a rag doll by the demon?

Although he said all that, he didn't dare to underestimate the demon. His attention which was on the bystanders observing that from the distance, moved towards the sword his enemy held in his hand.

One look and it was enough for him to know that it was a treasure. Being a race which had keen eyes for treasure helped; however, it was the vast unending power that radiated from the sword that told him that.

The sword might looked dead and blunt but it was just in the appearance. The energy stored inside it was something that even he had difficulty assessing.

"An excellent sword.. but you are not the only one who is blessed with high grade weaponry. Although I didn't think that I would have to use it this soon, it's time to use my partner"
