Chapter 49: Demon Ritual

The devil was evaporated into green smoke amidst that intense, almost tangible aura of violent destruction, and the demon itself also suffered a certain degree of injury.

Roar!

The demon let out an angry roar and continuously closed in, blood-colored light erupting from its body, clearly intending to engage Leodero in hand-to-hand combat!

In Mythical Creature Form, the demon's physical strength would not be weak either!

A trident appeared in Leodero's hands, and he manipulated a tsunami to crash toward the demon's main body.

The demon's physical body was extremely formidable, capable of withstanding lightning and tsunami impacts, but this was Leodero's home turf!

His Lightning Storm and tsunami were both unimaginably powerful, almost suppressing the demon and beating it violently.

The demon glared fiercely at Leodero's body, which had almost turned into thunder, rendering many evil Curses ineffective.

He turned to flee, wanting to get far away from this battlefield.

Leodero summoned a Lightning Spear several times and hurled it at the demon's body, piercing through it and blocking his path of escape.

Having fought to this point, he did not mind adding another legend of killing a demon to the Scripture!

Yet during the pursuit, the demon suddenly turned to face the trident and had his body torn apart directly.

"You, just like 'Dawn' and 'Honor', are a complete fool!" The demon's eyes suddenly turned into two eerie colors.

That was the entanglement of black and red, the sublimation of evil and the Fallen!

The demon laughed crazily, and Leodero's Spirituality was triggered, causing him to subconsciously look at the tsunami that was still entangled with the sea of blood.

After some chasing and fleeing, he had already penetrated deep into the sea of blood manipulated by the demon; how had he not realized this before!?

"It was the demon who invisibly amplified my emotions and utilized my desires, making me overlook this point..." Leodero's expression was grim, his sense of crisis at its peak.

The demon had his body pierced through by the Lightning Spear several times, and his blood, which radiated the smell of sulfur and extreme Corruption, spilled into the seawater.

That sea of blood underwent some strange changes.

Countless eerie and evil demon words transformed into symbols and dissolved into the seawater; Leodero could hear the obscure and evil whispering within them.

"Abyss!"

Leodero's semi-lightning-transformed body froze.

The sea of blood collapsed, and the demon blood within it gradually formed a huge ritual pattern.

The function of the ritual was very simple, yet it was something that even some low-sequence Beyonders of the Abyss Path could accomplish.

Summoning a demon!

And there was only one being capable of being summoned by this demon Angel!

The sea of blood churned, gradually presenting a projection of the bottomless Abyss.

That represented the most filthy and most Fallen place in this world, or even the universe!

Leodero saw the Abyss being eroded by a Fallen power.

"Demon Monarch!" Under such circumstances, Leodero inevitably felt awe toward that Ancient God.

And the demon's own control over emotions was simply exquisite, directly reversing this emotion of Leodero's into fear!

Leodero's mental state instantly fell into distress, while the demon's condition improved due to summoning the Abyss projection, and the situation of the battle was directly reversed.

"Die!"

The demon simultaneously unleashed Filthy Words and Blood Ignition; Leodero suffered another heavy blow, sustaining severe damage to both his mind and body.

"Great and filthy Demon Monarch, this is the sacrifice offered to you by your servant, please enjoy..."

"How could the old pigeon be so easy to deal with?"

A sneer seemed to ring in the demon's ears, and his Malice Perception instantly exploded, reaching its highest point!

He subconsciously wanted to flee back to the Abyss, but a bolt of lightning directly transformed into a long whip and coiled around his body.

"You deserve to die!" In the demon's incredulous gaze, a sea that seemed to contain all colors emerged behind Leodero. The undulations of the sea allowed him to break free from all constraints of the Abyss Rule.

This was the protection of the Chaos Sea.

It was a unique benefit for Angels under the Creator, though of course, excluding Chumen; for him, this thing was instead a source of danger.

Leodero even suppressed his own anger and violent emotions, calmly judging the demon.

He transformed into a Storm, manipulating the tsunami; hurricanes danced wildly, and lightning leaped.

The demon's crisis perception was already in chaos, unable to distinguish where the death crisis came from, so he started the final step of the Abyss summoning without hesitation!

He reached out and inserted his hand into his own body wound, pulling fiercely.

Ssh!

Black-red blood, carrying the smell of sulfurous fire, spilled into the seawater; the seawater instantly boiled, and that Abyss projection became increasingly real.

The demon himself fell into the Abyss projection, knelt on one knee, and prayed devoutly.

"Lord who will eventually defile everything and destroy the universe! I pray for your power, I pray for your descent..."

Evil demon words echoed, and that projection of the Abyss seemed to truly have a gaze looking here.

That was the Rule or Will of the Abyss, a place where even Angels could lose their lives if they entered, unless they were of the Demon Pathway!

A look of terror flashed across Leodero's face; an incomparably evil force locked onto him.

"Go!"

A voice rang in Leodero's heart, and the favor from the Chaos Sea on him erupted once again, isolating the lock.

Leodero transformed into lightning and, in the blink of an eye, was far away from this battlefield.

"I hope I can become lucky enough."

Chumen appeared outside the battlefield, watching from afar as the demon performed the ritual.

By now, that illusory Abyss constructed from demon words had taken shape, opening a path leading directly to the Abyss.

Chumen flipped the Dream Book to "Causality," held his fist slightly in front of his lips, blew a breath, made a Wish, and then snapped his fingers, satisfying his own wish.

Then he activated "Steal."

The next instant, he succeeded; he had successfully Steal-ed the entire ritual for summoning a demon!

"Beautiful!" Chumen even exclaimed in admiration; before this, he had used the power of Wish to satisfy many believers' wishes, accumulating enough Wish power, which he then poured entirely into his own Luck.

And the status of the Dream Book allowed him to be immune to the influence of the Demon Monarch's will, successfully Steal-ing the ritual.

"You!" The demon was momentarily stunned; the sea of blood beneath his feet lost the support of the Abyss aura and collapsed directly, causing a severe backlash of Spirituality.

"Goodbye, Mr. Demon, if you can manage to stay alive." Chumen nodded in a friendly manner toward this demon who had so selflessly contributed, and then Roaming-ed away.

The demon hurriedly tried to stabilize his state, but the next moment, a sword of Dawn pierced directly through his demon body.

The Sequence 4 of the Giant Pathway is named "Demon Hunter," which literally means hunting and killing demons.

High-Sequence Giants all possess the ability to hide their own malice and launch lethal surprise attacks.

Previously, this demon had severely wounded "Honor" and shaken off "Dawn," but under Chumen's arrangement, the God of Dawn Badehaier had already crept up to this location.

"Badehaier?!" The demon cried out in pain, his body shattering instantly, transforming into droplets of demon blood that splashed in every direction.

"Dawn Cage!"

"Light Storm!"

Badehaier roared, unleashing two powerful abilities.
