Second World Chapter 1940 Maximum Carnage

1940 Chapter 1940. Maximum Carnage

"This is your plan?" Belphegor yelled. His leg swung with a roundhouse kick to his back and struck Nameless, sending him flying.

As that happened, a black hole appeared right under Belphegor. This black hole was one of Bada.s.s' non-standard spells. The pull from the black hole slowed Belphegor. Grace used the chance to fly behind the devil. Iler target was the clone who was trying to return to Belphegor.

Belphegor's lower body might be hindered, but his upper body was still fast. His fist swung toward Grace before she could reach his clone. However, before he hit her, a dark light shot out of the air and struck his swinging fist. This strike altered his punch and made him miss. Successfully deflecting Belphegor's punch using the Nine Yin Phantom Sword, Grace kicked Belphegor's clone right in its face. The clone flew from the kick away from Belphegor. Belphegor looked at his clone that was flying away. He did not worry. That clone had almost full health. Ilis opponents couldn't keep him away from his clone for long.

He looked down at the black hole still pulling at his legs. He shoved one hand into this black hole. He worked his way around the spell mechanism. He then squeezed. The black hole fizzled out.

He glanced at Bada.s.s, who was still firing ranged attacks at him. He would deal with that man later. I le turned back to where his clone was. I le was about to rush over but found Nameless and the Iligh Demon Lord stood in his path.

The clone that was flung away used the ice s.h.i.+eld to block Grace's attacks. The High Demon Lord couldn't keep the ice s.h.i.+eld restrained for long. It returned to follow the clone.

When Grace was wondering why Red Death had not attacked, the woman materialized behind Belphegor's clone.

The clone sensed Red Death just before she attacked. Her mana concealment was not advanced enough to conceal her presence when she attacked. The clone was about to turn back to block the attack using the ice s.h.i.+eld but found a great strength stopping it from turning.

It was Grace, who had stored her weapon and was now grabbing the ice s.h.i.+eld by force. While Grace was restraining Belphegor's clone, Red Death executed her art. Her hand thrust out with a spinning movement. But unlike the Spinning Carnage, it was not just the hand holding the dagger that spun. Her entire body was spinning.

She rushed forward while spinning, turning into a human drill. A crimson aura followed her motion, forming the image of a large red drill.

This was the martial art Red Death told the others. It was called the Maximum Carnage. This martial art was an ancient art. Wong possessed this art in theory but never managed to learn it in the real world. After seeing the resurgence of many ancient arts shown by Domon and Long in this game world, he started to restudy this technique. Unfortunately,

he still failed to master it. When he reunited with Red Death, he decided to impart this ancient art to her.

Red Death had been training hard to master this ancient art, but she could only execute the beginning part, which was the Spinning Carnage. But she was persistent when it came to martial arts. She never stopped training. Even during this battle, she used the Spinning Carnage frequently while continuing to train in her mind. She finally grasped the essence. Red Death's spinning body drilled into the clone's head. She had combined this ancient art with Death Deliverer, giving this attack the power it needed for a fatal execution.

The clone's body was not st.u.r.dy enough to resist the power. It broke upon contact. Red Death pierced right through. As she did, it was not only the head that was destroyed but the entire upper body of the clone. By the time she was done, the clone's remaining intact part was below the waist. Everything above that waist was gone.

Although Red Death had told them, the deed still took everyone by surprise. Belphegor also stared in disbelief. He didn't expect his opponents to have something that could cause such a large wound.

The clone, with only its lower half, started moving. This caused Grace to tense. The clone was still alive! Similar to when it lost its head. The clone's legs walked and moved toward her. She was about to attack but then noticed that clone's IIP bar. It was zero.

The clone continued to walk some more until it tripped over a rock on the ground and fell. It dissolved after that.

Grace heaved a relief. She turned back. She was about to tell everyone to double their effort. Belphegor would surely call for reinforcement by now, but she saw Belphegor simply watch with a calm face. She looked at the battling armies in the distance. There was no change in their movements.

"That was a good move, outworlder," Belphegor said to Red Death. "I a.s.sume that was also not a skill."

"You are next, fat," Red Death pointed her dagger at Belphegor.

Belphegor looked down at his belly before giving Red Death a look that said, "Are you blind?" 'Hey... He is calmer than I thought he would be, Bada.s.s sent in the chat.

'Ile is just bluffing!' Red Death refused to think their opponent still had something up his sleeves.

'Whether he is bluffing or not, we are short on time, Grace said. Her keen eyes could perceive the battle between the armies in the distance. Their side wasn't doing so well. The demons that were focusing on the defensive walls had already turned their attention to the Sangrod Army, Arlcard's troops were like holding back a broken dam. They could get overrun at any moment.

Belphegor knew the situation as well, hence his calmness. He said, "Will you defeat me first, or your army give in first?"

"Are you betting your lives on this?" Grace asked.

"I'm not betting on anything. The ice chains in Belphegor's hands extended. He flailed these ice chains. One was aimed at Grace. The other swiped around, hitting the nearby Nameless and the Iligh Demon Lord. Ile then rushed at Red Death.

Red Death was alert. She moved away before Belphegor arrived. Belphegor slapped the ground. A wave of icicles jutted out, forming a wall that blocked Red Death's path. Grace was flying toward Belphegor. Belphegor shot ice bullets to slow her down. At the same time, Belphegor moved toward Red Death, whose movements had stopped. Red Death used Vanish to flee.

Belphegor heaved. For an instant, his ice aura abruptly expanded. He then shot his ice chain in a direction. Red Death reappeared where the ice chain was shooting at. She was startled to find the ice chain was already upon her. The ice weapons on the ice chain struck her. The chain then coiled around her and pulled her toward Belphegor.

Grace activated Devilize while sending her healing orb to Red Death. Her Devilize was off cooldown several minutes ago. Under normal circ.u.mstances, she would wait for her Seraphic Possession to end before using Devilize. But at this moment, they were racing against time. She needed to go all out. The combination of Devilize and Seraphic Possession transformed her into something that looked like a cross between an angel and a demon. She had a pair of devil wings on her back, but the sc.r.a.phic wings of light were also there. The speed boost from the two pinnacle buffs let her reach Belphegor before Red Death was brought to the devil. Belphegor saw her approach. His free hand enlarged. He punched this enlarged fist at the incoming Grace.

Grace used Judgement Strike. Her mace collided with the giant fist. The impact sent her reeling back. Belphegor stayed his ground but was staggered.

Red Death felt the ice chain holding her get loose. She used Back s.h.i.+ft just before Belphegor caught her. She reappeared behind the devil and didn't waste time to start stabbing. Belphegor retaliated by stomping into the ground and conjured an icy hurricane that raged around him. Red Death couldn't fight the force and was lifted by the hurricane. Ice pellets battered her as she floundered about within the hurricane. Luckily, Grace's healing orb had healed her earlier, so she was not in urgent danger.

Grace flew back when Belphegor conjured the ice hurricane. She focused her mana manipulation to empower her next strike, the Angelic Penalize. Her mace sliced through the icy wind and struck the devil. The hurricane died down then. The Angelic Penalize canceled Belphegor's skill and prevented him from using any skills for a duration.

Even though Belphegor couldn't use skill, he was still a force to reckon with. He also had his ice chains and ice weapons. They were considered his weapons instead of his skills. Belphegor's fist came at Grace when Grace struck him using Angelic Penalize. The fist landed on Grace and sent her flying. She didn't fly far because Belphegor's ice chain caught her mid-flight. Swinging the ice chains, Belphegor slammed her hard into the ground.
