Chapter 370
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 .
The gray flame had nothing to do with the Elemental Fire in Vaunte’s world . It was something called Embers . Everything it burned would return to Chaos . Legends said that if the Land of Order turned barren, the whole world would fill with such flame .
Brendel regained his balance just when he heard the Wind Empress’s voice, “Brendel, when this devil attacked, his right hind foot was slightly slower than its other three feet . It looks like it was injured, can you take advantage of this? . ”
Brendel nodded, in folk tales, Mesika, the King of Chaos, was often portrayed as a three-winged giant . Its belly, full of fat, dipped to the ground . It looked peculiar, though it still had a humanoid form with two feet and two hands . And what Mesika pointed out was actually Mesika’s right ankle .
When Mesika was conquering the Hell of Torture, he got bitten by a Lord’s pet devil snake, and that injury nevery healed properly . At the time, Guild R had aptly prepared to take down the devil and would not have missed such an obvious weakness .
Mesika did have a blind spot when turning to the right .
Unfortunately, this information was meaningless to him, as Mesika’s strength was equivalent to the peak of the Ultimate Realm, and would not be easily compromised by such a small weakness . But just in case, Brendel still subconsciously leaned to the right .
Mesika raged when he missed Brendel, it couldn’t believe that it did not kill the pesky bastard in one blow . It gave a roar and swung at Brendel again with its left claw .
There was an explosive scream in the air .
But by now, Ciel’s spell was working, “I command you to block everything, Law of Wall . ” The young mage finished the spell and pointed his staff ahead; A wall formed with transparent force field blocks appeared between Brendel and Mesika .
Crack, Mesika’s claws swept across the wall, and cracks formed a spider web pattern on the transparent wall . In an instant, the force field shattered like glass .
If Brendel was really a player who lived in the first chapter of the game, he probably would have been scared to death . A mage’s Law of Wall was known as an invincible spell, and the only drawback of this spell was that neither parties could communicate or attack each other, which rendered this a purely protective spell .
But the ability of breaking the force field with brute force was only made available after several versions of the game .
This was only the year 376 . Brendel could feel his scalp tingling, but Ciel’s spell ultimately earned him some time to react . He hurriedly put aside all his distractions and seized the opportunity to roll to the side . He barely dodged the attack .
“Damn bug!”
Mesika gave a roar . He suddenly felt like a fool . The mouse escaped from its hand again and again . If he could not handle this little creature, he would become the laughing stock of the other Devil Kings . Mesika lost all its patience and dark magic surged from its body without any spells or rituals .
Brendel and Ciel immediately felt their body freeze .
Devil Spell : Binding!
This was a spell that could restrict the movement of any opponent of the same rank for one second much less two noobs like they . If it wanted, Brendel and Ciel would be standing there for more than half an hour .
Obviously, the King of Chaos thought so too, and with a wave of his hand, Brendel and Ciel were dragged towards him . Mesika put on a haughty face, and, as if he wanted to see a look of terror from Brendel’s face, he said,“You bit off quite a bit more than you can chew, and now I will have you suffer a fate worse than death, so you stupid humans will know not to mess with me . ”
Messing with minds and inducing terror was the nature of devils and the source of their happiness . Mesika could almost foresee the person in front of him shivering in fear .
But he was quickly disappointed .
Only anger burned in Brendel’s eyes; fear was nowhere to be found . Amandina’s death had already pushed him to the brink of rage, and he felt the dark magic in his body riling up .
Mania scorched his heart like a deadly viper .
He stared coldly at this foolish Devil King and replied, “The one who will be suffering a fate worse than death is you, Mesika . ”
By this time, Dilferi was already behind the Devil King .
In fact, Mesika had long noticed this little human girl, but it felt that Dilferi had no powers and was merely an ordinary person, so he couldn’t be bothered with her .
Although it did not look back, it could still see the little girl pulling out a Devil Armlet nervously . Mesika could not help but laugh . This pathetic bug actually planning to use this thing to restrain me? Mesika was a true Devil King after all, so not only would it not be constrained by this low-level gadget, it could actually affect the holder of this gadget instead .
Mesika decided to stop what he was doing and wait for the human girl to make this lowly mistake . It planned to turn the girl into its slave and war trophy .

Thinking of the cruelty, this Devil King started to laugh hideously .
It saw Dilferi raising the Devil Armlet . Although its back was facing the countess, it had a sly smile on its face .
But soon he could smile no more .
Brendel sneered at this idiot, knowing exactly what the Devil King was planning to do . He had already figured, this was the evil nature of devils, they derived pleasure from the misfortune of others . No matter how they appear on the surface, their inherent nature doesn't change, nor would they easily give up these corrupt habits .
In Mesika’s point of view, there was really nothing to worry about .
As everyone knew, in the Sulphur River, other than the low-tier devils, high tier devils were divided into many different departments, with the Devil Lords near the top, and Devil Kings such as Mesika on top of that .
The relationship between the upper-tiered devils and the Devil Lord was somewhat similar to the relationship between a knight and his lord, and the relationship between the Devil Lord and the Devil King was similar to a lord and the king . Of course, devils did not have as strict a hierarchy as humans do, nonetheless, becoming a Devil King was no easy feat .
Everyone who became a Devil King had fought their way through seas of bloody corpses after thousands of years . Although the strength of the Devil Kings were uneven, even the weakest of them have reached the Ultimate Realm .
Someone with that kind of power would hardly be afraid of a few useless human beings .
Mesika never expected Brendel’s next move . Although Brendel was restrained, he could still talk and shout . When Dilferi raised the Devil Armlet, Brendel suddenly shouted .
“Dilferi, listen carefully, the real name of this idiot is 403157 . You can find his imprint in the Borderless Purgatory! Hurry, curse him!”
The sly smile froze on Mesika’s face . One of the secrets known by warlocks who dealt with devils was:
All devils born within the abyss could not be killed . They were Chaos in a different form . Each time they were killed, they temporarily returned to chaos, leaving an imprint, and would eventually be reborn from this imprint .
And this imprint was the real name of a devil, the source of their power .
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 .
