In the Eastern Empire, the situation was still bad with many demons arriving. Petra and Nadia are cleaning up the demons who came while Aland cleared the demon beast call Aldebaran. To Marcel, he was the one facing the demon pillar, Aldebaran.
Marcel stared at the demon pillar. This was the first time for him to meet a demon pillar. The ability of the pillar was not so certain, only its ability to summon demonic beasts could Marcel confirm.
"Sick Hero, yes... Greetings, I am one of the demon pillars, Aldebaran. It's the first time we've met, and it seems you already hate me, huh..." He smiled at Marcel.
The appearance of a long white-haired Aldebaran covering one eye and a long horn on the forehead. His fangs were exactly like Vampires, yet the look in his eyes was like that of a savage beast.
"Why are you carrying out this kind of attack? from what I heard, almost every army of demons attacked every country... Do you intend to start a war before it starts?"
Marcel was trying to reveal the intent of the demon side carrying out this kind of attack. From his point of view, letting the demon army appear and be killed by the Hero would only deplete the resources they had. Hearing that, Aldebaran smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"Didn't... Only Lord Lucifer knows his own plan. He set us free to do whatever we want as the little devil comes out of the gates of the underworld."
The gate of the underworld, the truth about this chaos refers to it. Marcel could not find the purpose of this mess, but for sure it was not something good.
"It's just that you're trying to express Mr. Lucifer's purpose... Even if you try to come to the gate straight away, you will only face Dante and the other demon pillars."
Marcel sharpened his eyebrows. Notah is stupid or Aldebaran deliberately provide information that the demon pillars guard the gates of the underworld. But that doesn't mean Marcel can just trust him.
"I'll know that when I'm done dealing with you..." Marcel brandished his pain and ran to attack Aldebaran.
Seeing Marcel begin to move, Aldebaran turned his hand into a giant blade. He quickly moved and attacked first. He swung his blade towards Marcel's chest, but managed to resist using his Scyt. Marcel and Aldebaran looked into each other's eyes. Their faces were very close and Marcel looked directly into Aldebaran's eyes, and vice versa.
"Gehe, let's see how far you can comfort me..." Aldebaran smiled and took some distance from Marcel.
"Summon: Demon Beast!"
Dozens of one-eyed wolf-like demonic beasts emerged from a magic circle. They quickly ran towards Marcel. Without needing to spend any Mana, Marcel spun around and killed the demonic beast in a single swing. Aldebaran stepped forward, his two blades shining and quickly almost beheading Marcel.
"Crescent Storm!" Marcel threw his Scythe and created hundreds of Scyth blades that flew around Aldebaran.
Aldebaran crossed his blade and gave off a dark aura that protected him from Marcel's Crescent blade. Not stopping there, Marcel ran over and swung his scythe at Aldebaran's head.
*ting!
The scythe and blades of Aldebaran clashed against each other until it created a spark.
"Hahaha, may you be a hero too!" Aldebaran pushed Marcel into the air and jumped.
He stabbed his blade into Marcel's chest, but was evaded by turning his body.
"Grim Reaper!" Marcel swung his Crescent which turned into a bed and threw Aldebaran to the ground.
*boom!
The ground where he landed had cracks, Aldebaran slightly vomited purple-colored blood. Instead of feeling sick, he was happy. It had been a long time since the last time she felt pain.
"I haven't felt sick for a long time and bleed like this. Pretty good for a Hero of your size... However, if it was just this much of your power, you would never be able to kill me."
An evil aura began to appear as Aldebaran smiled and his eyes gleamed wanting to kill. Marcel raised his vigilance to Aldebaran while waiting for Aland and the others to come to his aid.
"I will fight seriously, from now on... Try not to get killed, Hero..."
The air began to shake and slowly Aldebaran's body swelled as if he wanted to turn it into something. Sweat appeared on Marcel's forehead thanks to the killing intent he felt from Aldebaran.
*dor, dor, dor.............
Gunshots were heard from within the kingdom. Although he had not seen it, Marcel knew clearly that such a sound could only be made by firearms. If so, it means Rigel has sent his troops to help them.
Good, soon Aland and the others will definitely come here... Until that time comes, I'll keep him here...
Hearing that a strange sound was heard and the demon army fell down one by one, Aldebaran stopped his transformation. He saw that there were countless fire bullets flying and killing the demon. If so, sooner or later another Hero will come and increasingly troublesome face more than one Hero. Aldebaran let out a disappointed sigh and looked at Marcel.
"It looks like playtime is up. Huh, when again the exclamation... Well, I don't have any special purpose anyway. Let's meet on another occasion, Hero... Next there's no lightening." Aldebaran slowly went into the ground and was about to leave.
Marcel quickly ran and swung his Crescent, but Aldebaran had managed to escape. Although annoyed at failing to kill a single demon pillar, Marcel could only let it go. He did not have time to feel upset and disappointed, as the situation was still not under control.
"No matter how much we killed him, they kept coming. Whether it's true or not, but I think the best way to deal with it is to destroy the gate where they came out."
Marcel looked up at the sky and clearly watched the demonic army that flew and spread across the world.
We're going to Ruberios. Fighting began to break out there. Almost half of its territory was destroyed due to the invasion of the demons, and also the presence of one of the demon pillars, Leviathan. There are only Argo and Hazama Heroes left of Ruberios. Thanks to Rigel, he can send Takumi there and a platoon of Region military forces to help clear up the mess there.
There, Takumi, and the exhausted Argo come face to face with the demon pillar, Leviathan. Looking like a young man, he only used blue pants and cloth that covered his upper body. For Hazama, he is currently helping other soldiers and will help Takumi after.
"So you came, Takumi." Breath of Argo gasping.
"Yes, thank goodness I came just in time..." Takumi kept staring at Leviathan, and vice versa.
Leviathan furrowed her brows, "Red hair, and Hero with Spear... So you're yeah... The man who defeated the Behemoth. You seem weak right now, is there anything that might weaken your strength?"
It was quite impressive to him that he could guess that Takumi had to lose some of his levels due to the payment of the use of the slacker curse.
"Beware, Takumi. He's very strong..." Argo said while regulating his breathing.
Takumi simply nodded silently and continued to raise his vigilance. Even without needing to warn Argo, he already knew clearly that the demon pillar was a different existence.
"Then, what if I killed the Behemoth? do you intend to take revenge for his death? then come here, and I'll send you where you are." Takumi smiled and provoked Leviathan who furrowed her brows.
Takumi reacted slightly when he heard about the eyes. Before his death, Behemoth gave Takumi an eyeball and said that it would be useful for him later on. Takumi still kept it to this day, he did not know very well what the use of the eye was.
Realizing that Takumi reacted with the word 'Eye' Leviathan has confirmed that Takumi does indeed have it.
"That's it, so you have it. But why haven't you used it? so fruitless... Well, we're missing that. Now, let's play around, Hero." Leviathan smiled wickedly and extended her hand in the air.
The sky began to darken as if it wanted rain. Leviathan seems to use magic to change the weather and bring down the rain. As the name implies, Leviathan is the King of the seas. Water began to fall and rained down on the Ruberios region. Takumi and Argo are wary of Leviathan's unexpected attack. The huja droplets stopped for a moment before touching the ground. Takumi stared in bewilderment, until he realized Leviathan's intentions.
"Come! Take cover!"
Leviathan smiled widely and muttered, "It's too late," She directly extended her hand towards Takumi and Argo.
The stopped raindrops began to fall back in the form of tiny needles and rained down on Takumi and Argo. It was impossible to avoid this rain of water needles unharmed. At the same time,
"Shield Skill: Bubble Shield!" A shield bubble appears and protects Takumi and Argo.
Takumi turned to the person who gave the bubble shield and found Hazama there. He ran over to Takumi and Argo to join and help with the battle. With its existence here, it meant that the conditions there had already started to be conducive.
"Hazamas! is it okay there?" Argos asked.
"Yes, so far things are starting to get under control thanks to the military forces from the Region. Besides, those demons seem to have stopped coming." Hazama explained the situation.
True as well, Takumi had yet to see the demons in the air right now. Could it be that they died from the Leviathan large-scale attack? Well, to now face Leviathan is a top priority.
"You attack me, my Bubble Shield only lasts for ten minutes and when the time is up I'll give it to you again."
With the support of Hazama Takumi and Argo there is no need to worry about the rain of needles. Quickly, Takumi and Argo dashed towards Leviathan.
Takumi swung his spear at Leviathan's head but managed to be fielded with his powerful hand. Argo followed by stabbing his brightly glowing knife but Leviathan managed to fend him off. Not quite up there, Takumi threw the Javelin Strike from behind Leviathan.
Noticing something darting from behind his back, Leviathan looked back and extended his hand, creating a trident of water and launching it into Javelin Takumi.
*bombs!
The spear and Trident hit each other and created an explosion. Although only a little, Argo saw a gap in Leviathan and did not want to waste it.
"Meteor Blade!" Quickly, Argo changed the handle and cut the distance.
His knife sparkled and managed to injure Leviathan's arm. His attack was not strong enough to cut off Leviathan's hand.
Leviathan just muttered, "Hoo?" he quickly jumped into the air to avoid the encirclement, but on it formed a Shield that blocked the escape into the air.
Seeing that, Leviathan clicked his tongue and stretched out his fists so firmly until the Shield was shattered.
"So far you guys are pretty bai—" Takumi did not let Leviathan finish his words.
He with incredible killing intent stabbed his spear. Leviathan did not dodge it, she grabbed Takumi's spear blade and held onto it then pulled it until her face was very close to Takumi.
Leviathan smiled angrily as well as a little pleased, "Listen to the words of the people until it's done, Spear."
Takumi replied with a grim smile, "Unless you go to hell, I'll just listen."
Hearing Takumi's unexpected provocation, Leviathan was startled and extended his left fist into Takumi's stomach very loudly.
Takumi again crashed ashore and created a huge crack in the ground. Leviathan created a pair of water wings and launched a feather-book of sharp water towards the place where Takumi fell. Hazama runs and protects Takumi from the raining of the water.
"Full's Counter!" The Leviathan attack that was launched at Takumi instantly turned towards itself. But Leviathan just stretched out his hand and Hazama's counterattack failed easily.
Leviathan was about to deploy another attack, but for what reason he stopped and returned the weather to its full state.
"Huh~, it looks like the city's playing time has run out, yes... Well, at least I can guess your strength to some extent. I know you're still not really serious about facing me and vice versa..." Leviathan began to surround the water that slowly covered his body.
"Let's meet and fight seriously, on the next occasion. Try to stay alive until then..." The water covered Leviathan completely and his figure instantly disappeared from the air.
"He's gone..." Takumi muttered as he stared at his disappearance.
Hazama let out a sigh of relief, "We don't have time to rest, there's still something else we have to sort out and the demon invasion isn't over yet." Hazama reminded.
"Yes too... At least we should take this time to rest. In the future I'm sure there will be less time off that we have." Argo sat on the ground while staring at the afternoon sky.
"Yes. Most likely, Rigel will hold a meeting regarding the invasion of the demon army... Haha, it looks like the round table conference will be held a second time." Takumi snorted laughing.
Elsewhere, on the shore quite far from the Region was a four-armed demon appearing out of the ocean floor. He walked to the shore and sat under a tree to rest. His breathing was a little breathless, his body was slightly injured but instead of being annoyed, he just smiled happily.
"Amatsumi Rigel, yes... Hahahaha, it turns out to be true what Lucifer said, you really are an interesting guy!"
He recalled the incident when he swallowed Hydra. Inside there he meets a shadow that looks a lot like Rigel. The shadow is a hologram.
Flashback.
"Aragh!" Karaka roars while trying hard to raise Hydra's mouth but she is stopped by the shadow of the man she just met. Looking at that figure, Karaka laughed happily and punched her yet his arm pierced through her body.
"It's just a hologram, you won't be able to hurt him. If you really want to fight with me, I will serve you on the seventh night from now on. I'll give you a sign for the location of the fight." The hologram disappeared in a moment.
Karaka smiled broadly. He felt very happy because of what Rigel said through the hologram. Karaka was so flattered that Rigel even set up their battle ground.
"If that's what you want, then fine. I'm gonna shut up and wait until that time comes, Rigel.." Karaka smiled and leaned back while staring at the sunset.
