Chapter 283 . The Beast King
The Mayanes were an ancient race, known for their beautiful wings . As such, two large white wings protruded from Diabol's back . However, two demonic red horns lay in-between his golden hair .
White wings and demonic horns . It was as if an angel and a devil had been fused together, resulting in something both beautiful and ominous .
Plus, Diabol was incredibly handsome . His upper body was completely laid bare, reminding them of an ancient Greek statue .
"Is this your doing?" Diabol asked . Before they could even reply, Diabol continued . "How? Even the God of Destruction couldn't bypass our immortality . . . "
He looked upon his creation, Prison Beast Madon, in confusion . Any prison beast within his domain, the forest, was immortal . That's how he'd designed them .
However, his creation lied at his feet, dead . This was neither a dream nor an illusion; it wasn't a lie either, it was the absolute truth .
"How did you kill it!?" Diabol snarled .
" . . . "
Kang Oh's party said nothing; they merely remained alert .
"How many did you kill? No, I can just check . " Diabol stroked the horns on his head . The horns allowed him to sense their life energy, as well as command them .
His body soon shook with rage .
"How dare you!?"
There weren't many prison beasts left . They had rescued most of the humans, his precious energy source . Thus, his strength had been cut in half .
He welled with anger . Then, he looked northeast, realizing what had just happened .
"Krishan! Is this your doing!?" Diabol yelled furiously .
After spending more than a week with Krishan, he had come back to his own territory . She had seduced him .
Was it just a coincidence? He had spent more than a week with her, but when he came back, most of his creations lay dead at his feet and countless humans had been released . Was it not all connected?
'No, it has to be . You vixen . '
Grr .
Diabol gritted his teeth . Krishan had really gotten him good this time .
He decided to take out his anger on Kang Oh's party .
"I'll start with you . " Diabol extended his hand, summoning a golden trident . "Die!" Diabol then swung his weapon .
Crescent Moon Sweep!
His trident emanated powerful energy, which he unleashed in a crescent moon shape .
Kang Oh's party reacted immediately .
Tempest Tiger!
Bone Road!
Earth Shaking Arrow!
Boom!
The battle began with an ear-rupturing 'boom'!
Grr!
Diabol gritted his teeth .
His Crescent Moon Sweep was way too weak . If he was at full strength, then he would've killed them instantly!
However, there were too few humans providing him with life energy . Thus, he was much weaker than normal .
'Hmph . It doesn't matter how much weaker I've gotten . Killing these insects is no problem at all . '
Even so, Diabol was as arrogant as always and remained sure of his victory .
He spun his trident and then thrust it at Kang Oh!
"Die!"
"No thanks!" Kang Oh immediately swung Ubist .
Clang!
His jet-black blade clashed with the golden trident . They were dead even in strength, so neither side was pushed back .
Meanwhile, Eder and Sephiro moved to the left and right, and attacked Diabol .
Whizz!
Whoosh!
A javelin-like arrow and a sharp bone spear came flying at Diabol's sides .
"Hmph!" Diabol swung his trident from side to side, deflecting both of the projectiles .
Kang Oh seized the opportunity .
"Haahp!" Kang Oh swung Demon Sword Ubist downwards, and Diabol immediately thrust his trident . However, Kang Oh's sword stopped midway; it was a feint .
Swoosh!
The trident grazed Kang Oh's cheek . After that, Kang Oh turned his blade, and actually followed through this time .
Slash!
His blade was followed by a diagonal white line!
Diabol quickly grabbed onto his trident with both hands and held it askew .
Clang!
Ubist struck the spear shaft .
"Huahp!" Diabol forcefully pushed on the spear shaft, forcing Kang Oh back .
Kang Oh got back into position, preparing for Diabol's next attack . However, Diabol didn't attack him again . He suddenly turned around and charged at Eder instead .
Bam!
Diabol flapped his wings, which doubled his speed . It all happened so fast, but Eder remained calm . He'd spent a lot of time around Kang Oh, after all!
"Bloom, bone flower!"
Bone Bind!
White bone grew around Diabol's wrists and ankles .
"How pathetic . " Diabol suddenly stopped, and then flew even faster as if he'd been propelled forward by a spring . His violent movements caused the bone to crumble .
"Grr!" Eder quickly summoned Munra's Bone Shield . However, Diabol was too fast for him .
Swish!
He thrust his trident .
"Summon Eder!" Kang Oh yelled urgently .
The trident passed through Eder's fading body .
Stab!
Although the trident's prongs pierced his robes, Eder was barely able to make it out safely .
"Eat this!" Eder simultaneously summoned a bone spear and bone mass, and shot them straight at Diabol .
Sephiro notched an arrow, pulled back as far as he could, and then shot it .
Whizz!
The powerful arrow flew alongside the bone spear .
Flap, flap, flap!
Diabol's wings weren't for show . He flew into the air, avoiding Sephiro and Eder's attacks, and then swooped down on Sephiro like a hawk .
"Get lost!" Sephiro shot arrows at him in an attempt to ward him off . However, Diabol easily dodged the arrows and instantly closed the distance .
Gya!
Waryong cried out from within his buxom . 'It's dangerous, daddy!'
"Tch!" Sephiro rolled on the floor .
Diabol flew low and thrust his trident .
Crescent Moon Sweep!
"Ugh!" Sephiro's face grimaced in pain . The trident's energy blast had hit him .
Flap!
Diabol turned around and then came for Sephiro once more .
This time, however, Kang Oh stood in front of Sephiro .
Diabol flew low and stabbed several times . Kang Oh swung his sword just once, his blade moving with both power and precision!
Clang!
Once was enough . To block Diabol's assault, that is .
Diabol soared into the air, and then slowly landed on the ground .
"I admit it . You're pretty strong, but you're still just bugs!" Diabol snarled .
Golden fur began to cover Diabol's feet, arms, and upper body . His face transformed into that of an animal, and a long tail protruded from his butt region .
The Beast King!
This was Diabol's battle mode .
Combat a transformation with a transformation of your own . Once Diabol began his transformation, Kang Oh used Devil Trigger .
His face was covered by a beast mask, his jet-black tail glimmered like the night sky, and his body was covered in darkness . The Jet-Black Demon had arrived!
Diabol stared at Kang Oh . Kang Oh had no reason to look away .
In the midst of all this tension . . . Kang Oh, Diabol, Eder, and Sephiro moved simultaneously .
"Huahp!" Kang Oh charged at Diabol head-on, while Sephiro and Eder supported him from behind .
Eder slammed the butt of his scythe onto the floor!
AoE Curse: Age!
A purple concentric circle spread outwards . However, it didn't seem to have much of an effect on Diabol .
Sephiro notched an arrow and then took aim . He was essentially saying, 'Leave yourself open and you'll be sure to regret it!' .
"Huahp!" Kang Oh got in close and swung downwards .
Darkness Strike!
A jet-black wave flew at Diabol .
Diabol didn't just sit there and take it . He assumed a javelin throwing posture, and then stretched his arm out .
Flash!
His trident unleashed a flash of light, which crashed against the jet-black wave head-on .
It proved to be a bit stronger than Kang Oh's attack . The light overcame the darkness, piercing a hole through the wave and coming straight for Kang Oh .
"Ugh!" It was too late to dodge it . Kang Oh quickly used Abyss Shield .
However, the flash of light managed to pierce through the shield as well, and struck Kang Oh's body . Kang Oh crumpled as white shards of light flew through the air .
"Mr . Kang Oh!" Eder and Sephiro yelled, and began attacking Diabol once more .
"Hmph!" Diabol snorted . A bull's face appeared behind him, which just as quickly disappeared .
Bull Charge!
Rat-tat-tat!
Diabol fiercely charged . Neither Sephiro's arrows nor Eder's weak bone attacks could stop him .
In an instant, Diabol had appeared right in front of Kang Oh! Diabol pushed his shoulder forward, intent on plowing right through him .
Danger! Considering how cold he felt, getting hit by this would kill him instantly .
'It's too late to use Abyss Transfer or dodge to the side . If that's the case, then . . . ' Kang Oh decided not to dodge or retreat . He would take it head-on .
He made a split-second decision and immediately followed through!
Transcendent Blade!
The world began to slow . Diabol was no exception . Only Kang Oh could move normally in this slowed world .
Kang Oh swung his blade .
Swish .
Demon Sword Ubist cleaved through Diabol . However, Diabol didn't stop, and he rammed into Kang Oh .
"Kuahk!"
"Ugh!"
The two screamed simultaneously . Kang Oh and Diabol were flung away in two separate directions .
Diabol stood up first . Kang Oh wasn't able to stand up immediately . Not only had he used Transcendent Blade, which strained his body, but he'd taken more damage than Diabol as well .
"Arise!"
Eder quickly formed a bone fence around Kang Oh . At the same time, sharp bones arose beneath Diabol's feet, keeping him busy . Sephiro shot an arrow at him as well .
"It's no use!" Diabol swung his trident in a wide arc . The rising bone broke into pieces, and the arrow bounced off the spear shaft .
He didn't stop there . Diabol thrust his trident at the bone fence .
Flash!
He unleashed a flash of light .
"No!" Eder yelled desperately . But it was too late; Diabol had already attacked .
Boom!
The bone fence couldn't hope to withstand Flash's might; the bones shattered, and the entire area was razed .
"Mr . Kang Oh!" Eder said regretfully .
At that moment . . .
Kang Oh appeared behind Diabol . Before the light had hit him, Kang Oh had stood up and gotten out using Abyss Transfer .
Slash!
His demon sword descended like a bolt of lightning . Diabol gritted his teeth, turned his body, and swung his trident .
Bear Sole Sweep!
The image of a bear briefly appeared behind him .
Clang!
Sword versus spear!
Kang Oh was pushed back . Diabol's strength was no joke .
"Die!" Diabol swung his trident downwards . The three prongs emanated fierce energy .
Lion Claw!
Kang Oh quickly shielded himself with Demon Sword Ubist .
Clang!
Kang Oh was pushed really far back .
'He's strong!'
Kang Oh's party had saved so many people, severely weakening Diabol . Despite that, he was still overwhelmingly powerful .
Ultimately, Kang Oh pulled out Maurelion's War Sword from his inventory . He needed more power if he wanted to beat this guy .
