Chapter 387: Chapter 401: Rest Mark
The Human Knight, seizing the advantage, didn’t relent, following up with a Heavy Slash, and he even summoned a second Sword Shadow, launching both at the Demon. Ulgog, now aware of the potency of the Sword Shadows, had no choice but to raise his weapons high with both hands in an attempt to block the two incoming blades, one illusionary and one real.
Lancelot had put all his might into this strike, knowing that his opponent possessed greater strength. Although he had gained an advantage due to the Demon’s unpreparedness, it was still not enough to break through the Demon’s defense. However, to catch his attack, the Domineering Demon had to stand firmly in place, just as a previously prone skull on the ground suddenly flipped over, ending up face-up.
Directly beneath the most tender part of every male-like creature.
As the Great Sword heavily collided with the long-handled fork in the next instant, Ulgog suddenly felt a heart-wrenching, tearing pain erupt from below his waist. His hands nearly dropped his weapon on the spot.
He let out a harrowing scream while looking down, only to see a skull where there hadn’t been one before beneath him. Right now, that skull was spitting out a Bone Demon’s tail spike, boring a bloody hole between his legs. The excruciating pain made Ulgog wonder if it had reached his lungs.
The Demons’ vulnerability was their heads, but being pierced through from the groin was equally lethal; how could Lancelot, positioned right in front of it, miss such an opportunity? Glacier sliced down once more from above, forcing the Domineering Demon to bear the intense pain and block. For the first time, it realized that it was on the verge of complete defeat. This was the Abyss; death would merely send it back to the Barto Plane, but the torment of punishment for failure was what truly scared it.
...
Ulgog was still confident that he held the upper hand, the enemy had merely used trickery to gain a slight advantage. There was still a chance, as long as he could find a way to counter it...
This is how Demons were, entirely different from the reckless and reckless Demons who hardly ever considered the cost of failure. Whereas the Demons always overthought things and hesitated before acting, often missing the right moment. This time was no exception: Ulgog’s hesitation cost him the last opportunity to escape through self-destruction.
The instant the Demon’s soul was entirely extracted, its body left behind went through bizarre transformations: the originally brownish-yellow skin began to turn blue, as if affected by some potent ice magic, then quickly turned into an ice sculpture, lost balance, and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Throughout the entire event, the Guards outside, who were Demons themselves, did not react at all. Thick stone walls and metal doors could indeed insulate some noise, but Ulgog likely had other measures in place so that those outside were completely oblivious.
After all, its true form was a Demon, and aside from Cang Ye, Ulgog certainly wouldn’t want any other Demons to discover this secret.
“I really thought this time I was finished,” Elothysia turned the Frostslash around in her hand, holding the sword with both hands, and kneeled on one knee before Lancelot, saying with a blazing gaze, “You’ve saved me once again and bestowed upon me... new power. Thank you, I have no way to repay this debt but with my loyalty.”
“It is my utmost honor, my lady,” Lancelot responded with a formal Knight’s bow and took the Longsword, swiftly helping the Succubus Paladin to her feet, “But there’s no need for thanks, this is what I ought to do. And in the end, it was thanks to your sword strike that we were able to deal with that... Demon.”
“Wow! I am so moved!” chimed in the skull from the side, most inappropriately, “My thrust was critical too! You did not see, but when it glanced downward at me, its entire yellow face was glowing green!”
