Upon arrival at the Sea Region, Karaka is greeted with an automatic machine gun that shoots him. The subordinate who was with him jumped in front of Karaka and made a defensive magic. The magic was strong enough to withstand waves one and two, but during the third wave, it slowly cracked and shattered. The demon made his body Karaka's living shield.
"So it's not magic... It was only fitting that ordinary defense magic would not be able to withstand many of those strange things. Hahahaha, interesting! really interesting!" Karaka laughed happily while being protected by the hollow body of his subordinates and almost died.
Karaka did not care at all about the lives of his subordinates because at the expense of his life, they could be a little useful. Moreover, even without the presence of subordinates guarding him, Karaka was strong enough to destabilize a continent by himself.
Karaka stretched out to his four hands and patted them simultaneously. An extremely strong gust of wind emerged from his applause. So strong, the Region wall made of concrete was destroyed when dealing with Karaka. The body of his subordinates also crashed down along with the iron wall that was in front of him.
The entrance had opened, of course because Karaka made the door himself. In an instant, the military forces that had come from where had surrounded Karaka from the top of the wall. There stood a girl leading the army, "Put your hands over your head! you've been surrounded, surrender without a fight." Nisa gave a cynical look towards Karaka.
The soldiers brandished their Riflle towards Karaka and would shoot whenever Karaka made unnecessary moves.
"A girl, huh? are you the hero who leads this place? No. gabe. It's not like you, you're too weak not like Lucifer said." Karaka sighed in disappointment. He immediately looked at Nisa and the other soldiers amusedly.
He thought that this girl might have at least a good relationship with the Hero. He can play a little.
"Hahaha, nothing can make me obey you... Now, how about we just go straight? I hate waiting for that..."
Hearing that, Nisa and the other soldiers were on standby with Karaka's words. It could tell that the demon that could destroy the strongest walls of the Region was not an ordinary demon. Nisa had no idea who she was, which was clear she was not one of the demon pillars. But his strength might be on par with theirs.
"Foot!" Nisa unhesitatingly asked the soldiers to shoot. If his thoughts were correct, this was nothing to the four-armed demon.
Hundreds of hail of bullets approached Karaka quickly. But in Karaka's eyes, time seemed to be slow and he smiled widely. Karaka firmly clenched his four fists and smashed them at each other. He created a strange air wave that made the bullet stop and turn against the soldiers.
Seeing that, Nisa directly ordered the soldiers to take shelter, but the reaction of the soldiers was not as fast as her. Only he survived her.
"Hehehe, pretty good, little girl..." Karaka praised and patted the hand as the other hand stretched out like a gun, "How about this, little girl? The Sun of Hell." A small fireball appeared on Karaka's index finger and shot towards Nisa at a speed faster than Rifle's bullet.
Nisa was intending to hold back her attack, but as her premonition screamed out loud, she instantly moved away from the range of the small fireball attack. As soon as Nisa moved away, the small fireball hit the iron wall and let out a small explosion as it hit her. The iron walls instantly shattered and melted, probably due to the extremely hot temperature of the flames. Lucky for Nisa because she chose to avoid it.
"Hahahaha, great! a good! little girl. You choose to avoid it rather than hold it. I wish you hadn't dodged and burned to death." Karaka once again clapped his hands.
Nisa does not want to be constantly attacked, now her turn is attacking. Nisa jumped off the wall and swung the fist-sized iron ball that was connected with her dagger. The iron ball darted towards Karaka's head, but Karaka managed to catch the chain connected to his dagger.
Karaka thought that it was check for Nisa, but unexpectedly the chain he was holding was wrapped around her hand and Nisa made her shoulder as a foothold while intending to stab Karaka in the head.
Not expecting that the little girl was already on his back and was about to stab his head, Karaka quickly tightened his other arm and punched Nisa. Seeing Karaka's fist heading towards her, Nisa just jumped up and pulled one hand of Karaka who was wrapped around her chain. Nisa instantly activated her prickly chain and made a wound on one arm of Karaka.
"Haha, it's also great that you're a little girl... This chain can be drunk to a certain size and can remove Thorns. It must be the hero who made it with rare materials... Hahahaha, I want to see him more and more, where is he now? His men are in danger." Karaka.
I see, so the goal from the beginning was to meet Rigel, yes... Unfortunately I won't be able to defend against it. I'll have to buy a few minutes for Mr. Rigel or another squad to come to the aid.
Because he was working on something, Rigel could not immediately intervene against Karaka. Even if it was a demon pillar though, Rigel could not leave it.
Nisa moved again and wrapped her chain around the other hand. Karaka just casually dodged while extending his fist towards Nisa. It seems Karaka still wants to play around with Nisa.
He managed to wrap his hands around Karaka who was on the left side, but there were still two more to take care of. Choosing to overcome two hands first, Nisa turned around and swung her dagger very strongly. He thought that he had cut off his arm, but unexpectedly he only managed to scratch his flesh.
"Shocked huh? your attack just tickles me... This is what is called an attack!" Karaka stretched out his left leg and kicked Nisa to the point of throwing her deep into the forest.
Nisa hit the trees and spewed blood from her stomach. He tried very hard to try to get back on his feet and face Karaka before he went any further than this. His body was limp, his guts felt like they were coming out of his body, some of his ribs were broken with just a single kick of Karaka.
"N-no. I-I let you into the Region!" Nisa stood up again and darted towards Karaka at full speed.
He stabbed his knife, Karaka held it by extending his wrist and left it impaled. Nisa retracted her dagger from Karaka's hand.
"Sthealth!" nisa's body and her presence instantly disappeared as she used a special skill to kill.
Karaka stops moving and tries to find Nisa's invisible existence. He looked around him like a person who really did not feel his presence. As Nisa tries to stab from behind, Karaka smiles and grabs Nisa's neck.
"U-ugh!" Nisa can't breathe because she's strangled by Karaka. He repeatedly stabs Karaka's hand with his dagger, but that's not enough to make Karaka reduce his strength.
"Hahaha, you're pretty good for a little girl. However, if you don't want people to really know where you are, hide your killing intent and all the feelings in your chest. I can sense so clearly the intention of killing you that it's not hard for me to find you." Karaka grinned at Nisa who took off her weapon and tried to remove Karaka's grip with her hand.
Karaka does not diminish or increase his strength. He greatly enjoyed seeing Nisa tormented and struggling to escape from her hands. If he put in a little more strength, Nisa's neck is guaranteed to break and it's not pleasant for Karaka.
"My goal here was to provoke that Hero and anger him to the point of actually wanting to kill me... Other than killing you, I'll do you an insult to your body." Karaka smiled and took off the armor then Nisa's clothes.
*crush!
Her strangling arms of Nisa were cut off by the white-haired man who was staring with fury. Ray who came with her let go of Karaka's hand and took Nisa away. Karaka did not care anymore about the girl, even though he had only seen her for the first time, he immediately knew who the man was.
"HAHAHAHAH! You're finally here, Hero! Nice to meet you, let's kill each other!" Karaka laughed very happily as Rigel appeared and cut off one of his arms.
Rigel ignores him and turns and kicks Karaka until he crashes back to the shore. Karaka felt pain in his stomach, but he looked happy instead. Lucifer is not wrong, this hero might be the one who will be the representative of humans during war. Karaka's adrenaline is starting to rise and he feels like he's going crazy at any moment.
Rigel instantly recovered the shattered wall in an instant and stood on top of it. He looked at Karaka with anger and hatred that made Karaka excited.
"I finally got to meet you, Hero. You look younger than yang—" Karaka's words were cut by Rigel.
"Shut up" Rigel said coldly, "A piece of trash like you doesn't deserve to set foot on my land." Rigel stretched out his left hand pointing at Karaka, Rigel's eyes sparkling blue.
The sea behind Karaka began to churn and rage as if permeating the anger of Rigel. Karaka stared at the puzzled ocean, he felt that it was not an ordinary natural phenomenon. Unless something moves it. Karaka looked at Rigel again.
"That's it..." Rigel said coldly and a moment later, Karaka felt a chill on his back.
*Graoorrrr.......
A two-headed giant monster emerged from the ocean and stood right behind Karaka. Two-headed monster, Hydra. The ocean behind him began to form a Thorn and was ready to attack at any moment. Karaka looked at the monster behind him which gave him a slight goosebump. He was surprised by what he saw and smiled broadly.
"Keheheh, it turns out you really are something, Hero! Even once I see I know right away. This monster is the one you raised using the Necromacer!"
Karaka has never been this happy. He might have finally found an opponent that really made him feel what a real fight was.
"Hey, Hero... I am Karaka, the warrior from Hell. Tell me your name." Karaka asked happily.
"Rigel Amatsumi. Remember it's fine when you get back to hell."
Karaka muttered Rigel's name and along with it, Hydra swallowed him and carried him away to the far ocean. Rigel knew that he would not die with just that, yet he could at least stay away from the Region at the moment. Rigel's battlefield with Karaka will be delayed at this time because there are many urgent things to do. Rigel immediately turns to where Nisa was taken away by Ray.
Rigel leaves by teleport and quickly gets to where Ray is carrying Nisa. The condition is quite severe, bruises can be clearly seen on Nisa's neck and some on her body.
"How is he doing?" Rigel asked Misa who was treating her twin brother while crying.
"bad... He is critical at the moment... Even if I stop healing for a moment, things will get worse." Misa explained Nisa's current state.
Ray also looks concerned but he immediately went back to Asoka's place because the situation is very urgent. Even Rigel could not waste his time, but if he did not help Nisa immediately, it was likely that she would die.
Rigel walked up to Nisa and poured out the high-level healing potion he had made. Slowly, Nisa's condition improved, but that doesn't mean she's out of critical times. Not stopping there, Rigel immediately used the healing skills he had. At least he has to help Nisa out of her critical period.
A few minutes passed and Nisa finally managed to get out of her critical period but she was still unconscious. For now, Rigel will return to the control room and monitor the current state.
"I'm going back to the control room, I'm handing Nisa over to you."
"Yes... Thank you for helping me take care of Nisa in this difficult time, Rigel."
Rigel simply nodded and teleported to the control room. There, he sees Leo doing his job, which is monitoring the territory. Now Rigel is asking for an expansion of monitoring that is five kilometers.
"Leo, how's it going now?" Rigel walked over to Leo.
"Dad! so far it's fine and also, the intruder who was previously still alive, yet he's not back on his way to the Region." Leo explained the situation while watching the radar.
"Once, keep up your good work and don't push yourself. If you feel tired, take a break and let Ciel take your place."
Leo simply nodded with the advice Rigel gave him. Rigel sat in his chair. He thought about his meeting with Karaka earlier. He said that he was a warrior from Hell, and it seemed that he was not one of the demon pillars in existence either. Although only a glance, Rigel can feel that the devil is strong not playing. Maybe he's on top of Diablo.
"About how many demons like him have come out of the gates of the underworld? this became even more troublesome with the increase in demonic-power." Rigel muttered to himself. Leo silently eavesdropped on Rigel's words without needing to ask. Although he was young, Leo was quite smart.
Rigel sighed deeply, "It looks like I have to prepare a new trump card that increases combat power, huh..."
Now, the real chaos will start sooner or later, until then Rigel must find a definitive solution to this problem. He also had to face the Phoenix later. The current priority was to find the gates of the underworld and destroy them.
