The Amber Sword

v3c370

Requiem(20)

Each of the three-meter-long claws were made of gray cuticles with honeycomb-like holes. Brendel knew that the holes were filled with devilized worms, and every time Mesika, the King of Chaos, attacked, the worms would try to infect the wounds.

He remembered that when Guild R killed the Devil King, they specifically sent heretic judges and witch doctors to purify the parasites. But unfortunately, he did not have that kind of resources. The Devil King used his sword-like claws and struck at him, and Brendel, just in the nick of time, took a few steps backward. The claws had nearly hit him.

The green turf was left with three deep claw marks. After that, the power of chaos left a dull, gray flame burning on top of the gouges.

Brendel landed on the ground with a backflip. The adrenaline flowing through his blood had completely snapped him awake, and his dangerous encounter made his forehead break out in a thin layer of cold sweat.

Luckily, Brendel was reminded by the elf at the last second, or else the consequences would have been devastating. Unlike the usual upper-ranked devils that possessed the Flame of Elemental Power, a higher-ranked devil usually was not recognized by the Power of the Laws. On the contrary, they used the Power of Chaos and the Violent Dark Magic of the Sea Of Magic.

These two powers in the hands of the devils lacked the ability to create, but its destructive powers were far more enough. It was even more destructive than most elemental powers on the same level; the Power of Chaos could assimilate everything, and the burning flame was proof.

No matter how powerful or weak the devils were, every devil had a unique name. Their names were secrets and no one knew it other than themselves. There had been some devils throughout history who had accidentally lost their names and these devils often ended up in miserable situations and were enslaved forever.

Knowing the real name of a devil could allow them to command the devil to do everything. Although these claims circulating among the evil mages were exaggerated, they still hold a morsel of truth.

Mesika, the terrible Devil King, was so shocked that if felt like the world just did a backflip and whacked him in the head. The real name of a devil was a devil’s top secret, and even in a dream, they would never reveal this secret to anyone, but the problem was.

Brendel actually said his real name.

How did he know?

If it could change its faith, at this moment, Mesika would definitely seek refuge in Lord Martha. And then sob at her feet and bef for her to delete Brendel from this world.

It was a pity that Mesika’s boss, Chaos and the Twilight Dragon did not care about these things.

The King of Chaos snapped back to the situation, and roared, turning back to stop Dilferi. But it was too late, perhaps because it had been too arrogant. Mesika had just turned back when Dilferi already found Mesika’s imprint from the Borderless Purgatory.

Then she uttered the simplest incantation in the world, “403157, withdraw authority!”

The enormous Devil King and the delicate countess groaned at the same time. Brendel could feel the restraining spell on him loosening, but he also saw a trace of blood at the corner of Dilferi’s mouth.

Backlash.

He knew that Dilferi’s powers were too weak. If she only relied on the Devil Armlet to control Mesika, she would get devoured. Even if she knew its real name, Mesika’s immense power was not something she could bear alone.

Pity.

He had no time right now to find a gold class summoner who was good at Psychic Arts, and even the countess herself was an unexpected blessing.

Brendel and Ciel fell to the ground. At the same time, Dilferi’s good-looking face had almost completely distorted as she was struggling to control the King of Chaos. Only now did she understand what Brendel meant when he told her it was a dangerous task.

She could not suppress Mesika’s power.

Even with the devil’s real name and the Devil Armlet, the powerful Devil King was not something that an ordinary person like her could easily manipulate. The violent power of Hell invaded her body, quickly corroding her internal organs and blood vessels.

“Miss Countess, you should know the consequences.”

“I know.”

Dilferi raised her head, her face was bleeding and she looked terrifying. But she continued to hold up the Devil Armlet, shouting.

“I command you to cut off any magical connection with the underworld!”

“No!”

The Devil King screamed. It never expected in its wildest dreams that this little girl in front of him was so cunning; Compared to her, it felt like an inferior devil. Wielding its real name, Dilferi could order it to do anything she wanted. In other words, she could order it to die, though she would be torn apart by the backlash first. But Mesika didn’t think she would give such a simple order.

Cut off any magical connection with the underworld.

It was unable to resist, and the dark magic dispersed from its body in an instant. Mesika was visibly and rapidly losing weight. In fact, the fat on its body deflated like a balloon, and it quickly became a piece of dry skin hanging on bones.

Mesika’s power was also declining rapidly, almost instantaneously going from the peak of the Ultimate Realm, to the middle-level of Elemental Awakening. In just a few seconds, it had dropped down more than two realms, unprecedented in The Amber Sword.

“Ah! Asshole, you can’t do this!” Mesika was so embarrassed it was like a little girl who was stripped naked. It never expected itself to end up in such a situation.

To be honest, if Brendel could just make this guy die, he would never have chosen such a troublesome method. However, this was the result of his careful consideration, because this was the only way to ensure the Dilferi’s safety.

Of course, the countess was not afraid of death. But the problem was, if she died, Mesika would be run loose again.

So Brendel chose this compromise. However, even the compromised solution would cause irreparable damage to Dilferi, but there was no other way.

The binds on Brendel and Ciel disappeared. He immediately picked up Halran Gaia and at the same time, Mesika’s power dissipation came to a temporary pause. In theory, this effect would completely turn it into an ordinary person, but the withering effect was not something that could happen in such a short time.

The King of Chaos, though it was probably at most a Devil Lord right now, must have lost all of its confidence. It took a horn out from its waist and blew it.

The sound of the horn penetrated the entire battlefield, and Brendel knew instantly that this guy was calling for backup. He turned around, and saw that after a slight pause from the devil army in the middle of the battlefield, they turned around chaotically..

“Stop them!”

He shouted immediately.

Amandina was nowhere to be found, and no one could find where the portal was. If the devil army united, all they had done earlier would be meaningless.

Ciel quickly reacted and grabbed the staff that had fallen to the ground.

Meanwhile, the princess and knights surrounded by devils had completely opposite feelings. There were several occasions when they were nearly wiped out. Both Leider and the Paladin from Kirrlutz were wounded and Garlock’s arm was covered with blood. The Royal Highness Princess had a gouge on the shoulder and half of her coat was stained with blood. But just when everyone was pumping up to fight again, the devils surrounding them retreated, and they were instantly relieved.

“What’s going on?” The lucky survivors were stunned. The devils clearly had an advantage, why are they retreating?

They raised their head subconsciously but the portal was clearly still there.
