Chapter 987
Powerful airwaves from the clash of blades shook the ground. Celestina widened her wings, the black chain sword in her hand wrapping the scarlet sword of the Balor Devil. Flames of black and red splashed, burning everything around them into ashes. The devils around them shrieked. They tried to assist their master, only to be burned to ashes immediately. The rasps of blades screeched in their ears. Celestina lifted her head proudly and spiraled skyward. She lashed out the chain sword as a whip while the Balor Devil roared, widening its pupil-less eyes and emitting fiery laser beams at her. Celestina swiftly folded her wings around her and negated the attack effortlessly.
“Lowly bast*rd. You will never defeat me!”
Celestina brandished the chain sword at the Balor Devil again. The Balor Devil sensed the threat from the pitch-black flames and flapped its wings to retreat hurriedly. At the same time, it clutched its blazing sword with both hands, swinging it forward to unleash a conical flame. Celestina pushed her left hand forward when suddenly, the air by her palm twisted to reveal a void like a menacing mouth, devouring the blistering flames completely. Then, she darted forward and clashed with the Balor Devil once more.
“Erm… Should we help her?”
Richard asked in lingering fear. As a mage, he knew a lot about the underworld. The Balor Devil was well-known as a high-class devils. In fact, when the Balor Devil appeared moments ago, many apprentices were stricken into silence. Its incomparable presence and evil aura struck their faces, leaving them breathless. This almost shattered their will of fighting against the devils.
But in comparison, Celestina’s attacks were much more surprising to the apprentices. This slender high-class demon appeared to be stronger than the Balor Devil. Although she seemed like a tiny rascal in the face of the massive Balor Devil, her attacks were incredibly lethal and terrifying.
“No, it’s not necessary. You’re better off staying in safety.”
Rhode shook his head decisively. His intention of sending Celestina out there was to lure Grazite to this place because a battle between a demon and the devils wouldn’t raise his suspicions. On the other hand, the situation would be different if he sent Celia out. No matter what, the combined attacks of a demon and angel would easily raise Grazite’s alertness. And now, they only needed to watch the show and wait for the mastermind to show up.
Rhode wasn’t worried that Celestina would lose to the Balor Devil. This demon young lady was sharper than she looked.
The hall was in a complete mess. The devils swarmed the place like roaring waves, only to be repelled by the light beams from the metal guards and the powerful punches of the stone giants. The six-armed snake devils brandished their swords at the stone giants. Even though they had the upper hand from the start, the powers of the remaining stone giants were strengthened and they were now equally matched with the six-armed snake devils. On the other hand, the black and red flames from Celestina and the Balor Devil engulfed half the hall. Rhode and his group hid in the corner in the safety of the metal guards’ defense. Fortunately for them, the hall was wide enough. If not, they would have been squashed like sardines.
“No———!”
The Balor Devil struggled to pull the chain sword out of its chest. But this time, the black flames exploded, engulfing it entirely.
