Chapter 267: Hell's Emptiness
Chapter 267: Hell's Emptiness
Bogang, towering at over forty meters in height, emerged from the door, her massive body resembling a small mountain.
Her excessive weight caused the ground to shake upon landing, and her bloated, greenish body couldn't help but remind one of an oversized toad.
Devil Dragon's eyes lit up at the sight, "I like her skin color."
It was green, just like his!
Rounding up, he was also an ancient devil!
Those who mocked him for being far less attractive than the Dark Lord, ridiculing him as a mere lizardman, didn't understand a thing. This was how a devil should look! Dragon Blade, on the other hand, felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, especially after seeing Bogang's bright red, shiny lips and long eyelashes.
He had assumed that among the Eight Devils, only the Water Devil, Basha, was female. Never did he expect that the Mountain Devil, Bogang, who he thought was an older brother, would turn out to be a female as well.
This world had become so chaotic!
As soon as Bogang came out, she was about to let out a roar to celebrate her return, but the Dark Lord, well-prepared, immediately stopped her with a magic chain sealing her mouth.
"Bogang, please calm down and listen to me first!"
"Please calm down first. We have powerful enemies around, and we need time to quietly release our other brothers and regain our strength. Only then can we reclaim this world!"
Hearing this, Bogang temporarily suppressed her urge to shout, forcefully opening her mouth, swallowing the Dark Lord's magic chain. Her body subtly grew a tiny bit.
The Mountain Devil possessed the power to continuously eat and grow, devouring most things and becoming incredibly powerful. In ancient times, she was indeed a moving mountain, not just a small fry of forty meters like now.
Bogang moved closer to the Dark Lord, her sheer size making the Dark Lord, who was already quite large, look like a child's toy.
"Dark Lord, it's been a thousand years. You should have liberated us long ago, but you've delayed until now!"
Bogang lowered her voice, "While we suffered in Hell for endless years, you enjoyed power in the human realm. I regret not swallowing you whole."
The Dark Lord took a step back and argued, "My brothers... and sisters, this isn't my fault. I had intended to save you as soon as I escaped, but the Saint Fighter, Saint Fighter Lore, sealed me. My power was divided into twelve talismans scattered across the world, leaving me powerless!"
Bogang sensed the Dark Lord's body and was surprised to find that he indeed had little power left.
"Although I've also become weaker, you've become even more pathetic."
She spared the Dark Lord for now, "Since there are strong enemies, let's regain our strength first. I can sense my primal demon energy, and by reclaiming it, I can restore most of my power..."
Suddenly, Bogang's eyes filled with doubt.
In her perception, she detected two sources of her demon energy. The primal demon energy attached to the divine artifact had not been activated, and a much smaller portion had been imbued into a magical creature.
However, imbuing demon energy into a creature should only be possible after activating the primal demon energy and achieving a certain level of proficiency in magic. The sequence was off.
Most importantly, the smaller demon energy-infused creature was approaching her own source of demon energy!
What was going on?
Someone was trying to steal her demon energy?! Just as her thoughts were in disarray, several unconcealed footsteps echoed, and the Riverbed Gift Shop welcomed its last batch of customers for the night.
Lu Ke, dressed in a white holy robe, held a classical and ornate magic staff, with a small drum attached to his waist. He stood tall and dignified, radiating righteousness like the sun.
Behind him, Dragonfang and Dad stood on either side, protecting Xiao Yu, who was standing with her hands on her hips.
"We've found the source of the Dark Qi's power."
The Dark Lord's eyes glowed red. He had heard of this child, the recent talk among the mage community as the reincarnation of the Saint Fighter.
But what was there to fear? As long as it wasn't the little ghost who had trampled him, he had no reason to be afraid.
The Dark Lord held his head high with arrogance... and walked behind Bogang, encouraging her.
"This is the current Saint Fighter and White Aura Mage. Bogang, show them your divine power!"
Bogang pouted her plump lips, "You look like a delicious dish, especially those two little snacks."
"Who are you calling snacks?!"
A magical glow lit up, and Xiao Yu jumped out of the protective circle, her magic snake rapidly expanding to lift her up. Then, she leaped high and delivered a flying kick.
Bogang found the child's playful actions adorable, like a delicious treat delivered to her door, and reached out to grab her.
"Xiao Yu!"
Dragonfang called out in concern, but Lu Ke and Dad remained calm, seemingly unworried.
Boom—
Unexpectedly, Bogang's massive body collapsed, while Xiao Yu landed gracefully.
She proudly lifted her clothes, revealing the Ox Charm embedded in her belt, shining brightly.
"My charm!"
Dragon Blade's eyes lit up, and he waved his magic staff.
"Gan! Wen! Cui!"
Three tall and robust dark killers were summoned, striking a JoJo-like pose with pride.
Before they could change their poses, the three, who had just landed, cried out in pain as a magic spell enveloped them, turning them into gas and trapping them in containers.
Dragon Blade glared angrily, while Dad, holding a lizard specimen, was ready to fight back.
"This time, Dad will reclaim his pride. Monsters, get out of here! Monsters, get out of here..."
The lizard specimen emitted a glow, shooting out a magic ray imbued with righteous power.
"You asked for it! The Great Mage's disciple is as foolish as him!"
Dragon Blade sneered, waving his magic staff to cast dark energy magic.
The two powerful mages began their battle with Bogang.
Dragonfang rushed towards the Ice Cold trio, attempting to retrieve Pandora's Box. His movements were precise and powerful, like a flowing river, and if it were the Black Hand gang, they would have been knocked down instantly.
However, the opponents were no ordinary fighters; each possessed exceptional martial arts skills, as if professionally trained. Any one of them could match Dragonfang, and together, they surrounded him, making it difficult for him to defend against their attacks.
"Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck!"
He shouted as he struggled, constantly evading and using the surrounding structures, like billboards, swings, and statues, to his advantage. Despite the significant gap in their abilities, the fight remained evenly matched.
Lu Ke observed thoughtfully.
Could it be... that Dragonfang is also a fifty-fifty?
No wonder he became friends with them; the unique fifty-fifty friend of Lu Ke and the others had finally arrived.
He turned his gaze to the rising Bogang: "Xiaoyu, I'll handle the Mountain Devil. You take care of the other two."
Bogang had been kicked away earlier due to being caught off guard, but in a real fight, Xiaoyu still couldn't handle the Mountain Devil.
Xiaoyu gave an 'OK' gesture and eagerly turned to the Dark Lord and Devil Dragon.
The Devil Dragon, who had been traumatized by the adult Xiaoyu, instinctively wanted to run, but was held back by the Dark Lord, who scolded him with disappointment.
"Why are you afraid of a little kid?"
"Father, she's going to be the sheriff of District Thirteen in the future."
The Devil Dragon was extremely aggrieved. Across from him was the legendary figure who once ruled the world during the L Era, and he was just a magical creature for observation in the region under her jurisdiction. Having been scolded many times, how could he possibly fight her?
"Even if she will become powerful in the future, she's just a little kid for now."
The Dark Lord, who had been chased around and was seething with anger, finally had a chance to release it. He glanced at the Ox Charm on Xiaoyu's waist and charged straight at her.
For him, retrieving his charm wasn't a difficult task.
Let this little kid experience his terror! The Devil Dragon watched as the Dark Lord rushed towards Xiaoyu's father, his eyes filled with admiration, and he felt an overwhelming sense of pride.
Look at that!
The Fire Devil Sovereign, the once-great ruler of the world, was his father! As the Dark Lord charged forward, Xiaoyu let out a cold snort, shook her sleeve, and a magic scroll floated in the air, causing the Dark Lord's pupils to constrict.
This thing... it feels so familiar.
"Energy Scroll!"
Xiaoyu placed her hand on the scroll, and the abundant magic within her surged out, using the magic scroll as a medium.
Boom—
The all-too-familiar magic impact sent the Dark Lord's body flying. The deep-rooted fear caused him to immediately stand up after landing and run away without hesitation.
Damn it!
How did this little girl learn Saint Fighter Lore magic?
The Dark Lord's heart filled with sorrow.
The Devil Dragon's initial admiration turned back into fear, and he joined his father in fleeing.
"Don't run, you two scoundrels!"
Xiaoyu held the magic scroll and chased after the two demons as they fled in all directions.
On the other side, facing the rising Bogang, Lu Ke indifferently aimed his magic staff at him and chanted a magic spell, and a magic ray filled with righteous energy struck Bogang.
"Damn brat, what did you do to me?"
Bogang, who was not skilled in magic, roared in anger. His massive hand swatted at Lu Ke like squashing a bug.
Although the strike was powerful, it was too heavy, and Lu Ke easily dodged the attack, speaking calmly.
"Don't worry, it's just a small location magic."
He took out the prepared magic formula and poured it onto the drum at his waist.
Sealing the Immortal Deity was like locking the backdoor of their bodies. If the corresponding magic formula and the Immortal Deity's symbolic item were used, they would be helplessly sent back.
With just three drumbeats, Bogang would be sent back to Hell.
Once sent back, the Hell Gate that belonged to her would be completely closed.
Bogang visibly panicked: "No, no, no! I've just come out, don't do this!"
"Rest assured, you won't have another chance to come out, even if there are extra Hell Gates."
Lu Ke didn't hesitate and struck the drum three times.
A massive Hell Gate appeared in response, and the Hell Gate used to seal demons could only be entered and not exited. Unlike when they went out, where only one person could go through, now they could go in as many people as they wanted.
A powerful force specifically targeting Bogang pulled her body into the Hell Gate.
Bogang struggled desperately, hugging the doorframe to delay her time, and she looked at her teammates with pleading eyes.
The Dragon Blade had been scattered by Dad at some point, and the Dark Lord and Devil Dragon, who were being chased by Xiaoyu, saw the Hell Gate open and decisively retreated. The trio with Pandora's Box had also slipped away at some point!
"No—"
She let out an unwilling cry, staring at Lu Ke with determination to remember his face and curse him for endless years. But she saw a hint of pity in his eyes.
Why pity?
She didn't have time to ask, but the man seemed to have foreseen her question and answered it.
"Because, even when facing an enemy, taking their life always feels unbearable. It's not my true intention, and in my eyes, it's a negative state of the good face."
A stronger suction force came, and Bogang, unable to resist, returned to Hell with anger and confusion.
Hell was filled with a dim yellow light, without day or night, only eternal silence and annihilation that eroded all power and wisdom. This was the place where demons had dwelled for countless years.
Bogang sat on a rock, trembling with hatred. Her Hell Gate was completely closed, and she had almost no chance of escaping.
"Next time I see that damn Saint Fighter, I'll chew him slowly and eat him bit by bit!"
"There won't be a next time."
A strange, cold male voice sounded, startling her.
How could there be other creatures in Hell besides the seven of them? Unless... unless someone else was sucked into the Hell Gate with her just now.
She turned her head and saw a man in a black suit, with two golden dragon horns on his head, two dragon wings on his back, a robust yet aesthetically pleasing figure, and a handsome young man.
The young man looked at her coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent. He licked his lips and revealed a smile that chilled even the demons.
"Because, the one being eaten will be you!"
At that moment, Bogang suddenly remembered the location magic the kid Saint Fighter had cast on her.
And the pity in his eyes that he had shown at the end.
