Chapter 150: Vol. 6 Ep. 18
* * *

Did something happen while I wasn't looking?

Pandora blinked. Her eyes analyzed everyone.

Everyone's skills have evolved.

Although there wasn't any data on her system that matched the current situation.

I see. Everyone has received some form of evolution of their skills. That was why their skills could evolve into a second form. But didn't they fight before without using such skills?

Then again, how?

While she was confused, everyone's battle raged on.

Jenna and Mamon faced each other.

She gripped her hammer tightly as she faced the trembling unknown figure that could eat anything in its path.

It's scary. Horrible.

Just watching the disgusting figure made her tremble. She wanted to run. Being eaten by that thing had been a horrible experience. But she didn't run.

I don't have grand aspirations like the others.

She didn't have an ideal goal like Her Majesty, nor did she have a difficult path like the others. Somehow, she was an outsider of the team.

She was fortunate to have accompanied Sungjin through some hard battles. That was why she had received this incredible power.

Lightning gathered above the girl who accepted and faced herself.

But even she had something she wanted.

I want the people I love to be happy.

Her viewpoint was too small to include the greater humanity. Her plate was small. But now she knew one thing. If she ran away from this, if she lost… then her Sungjin and Her Majesty would disappear. She had to win this fight, even if she had to burn her entire being.

Her hammer rang around the skies. Lightning that broke the mountains and burned the seas fell down on the ground. But since he had eaten it before, Mamon ate it without hesitation. The lord of greed was only going to eat it…

Jenna knew that would happen. That was why she needed to…

"I'm going to use everything I have to not lose to you."

She ran toward the lightning and threw her body into it. "Kuuuuuu."

The lightning burned her body, but she entered it regardless, and drew up some more lightning.

"I sacrifice myself! May transcendent power be brought down on this earth."

She burned off her own flesh to boost the power of lightning. The lightning turned from white to blue, proof of it having heated up, and she threw it upon Mamon.

"Kwaaaah!" A scream erupted from somewhere inside the flesh.

The desire of a girl overcame the limit of what gluttony could eat.

The flesh became ashes inside the blue flames.

Beelzebub sent Rachel a flock of flies, poisons, and plagues. In front of him, Rachel faced him with prayers of healing and purification.

Beelzebub laughed at her. "There's no point. Defending can never beat the attacker. The power to heal others just forestalls my plague."

The flock of flies covered Rachel more.

"Others seemed to respond in their own way, but you are miserable."

Rachel was completely crushed and destroyed.

Beelzebub turned around. "Now it's time to go see the Lord."

He didn't dare say that he was going to help him. It was easy for Lucifer, who ruled hell, to fight his debris as a human being. How could he dare be of help?

Then he caught onto something.

Is there something yet?

He felt a subtle flow of power and turned around. Intense flames arose from Rachel, who should have rotted and disappeared.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't like fighting. I don't want to hurt anyone. However… … However… … . " Her flame burned a flock of flies. "I learned that if I don't fight, others will have to, and if I back out, there will be times where others will get hurt." That's what she learned from seeing the back of Sungjin, who was fighting in front of her. That there were times when she had to fight against evil even if she didn't want to.

"Patyekabuddha." The kidney of an ascended being that is known to push away all evil. Rachel clung to Beelzebub with flames all over her body

"Release me!"

"Your curse will not touch anyone except me."

The flames encircled both of them and burned intensely.

Pandora had now assembled a logical interpretation of the situation.

Yes, I see now.

Sungjin had deliberately waged a fight when his team members had not completed a new ultimate skill to know the enemy and make an ultimate skill accordingly.

The enemy is strong.

The dark lords' levels were one level above the awakened women. There was only one way to fill the gap: specialized counters. Once an awakening was evolved into a new form, it became a fixed skill.

So his plan was to gather information on his opponent and his skills in order to win the next fight.

She remembered Sungjin's words.

The first two defeats are just differences in information and preparation.

That wasn't a bluff. He had planned to throw the first two games from the beginning to get information on his opponent, and during their break he had led their ultimate skills to their proper form.

The leisurely conversation that seemed to be just a chat was actually a "trigger" for each person. He had predicted that they would be able to bring out their own specific skill once he gave them the trigger.

Indeed, he surpassed my prediction once again.

What will he show next? She was curious. The more she came to know him, the more interesting he became.

Her heart was beating fast.

Demon King Mephistopheles. He was known for depraving the renowned Dr. Faust, and his illusions were as similarly well-known.

Even while knowing that it was a lie and a fantasy, it was so sophisticated and powerful that Zakiya couldn't wake up from it.

Even though she knew it was all in her head, the illusion caused her to believe it was real.

"Red flames."

Hot flames wrapped around Zakiya's body. "Ugh." No matter how much it appeared to be an illusion, her body burned as if it were real.

"Ice."

Cold ice wrapped around Zakiya. Even though it was also a lie, her body was frozen cold. Injured in a series of forceful illusions, she eventually fell to the floor.

On the other hand, her fantasy didn't touch Mephistopheles. The difference in skill level between the two was evident.

"It is your misfortune facing me, human."

If she had met a different kind of opponent, there would have been a chance, but there were no weaker devil lords.

"Farewell." Mephistopheles raised his hand, saying that he would make the most spectacular fantasy. "The ghost corps of the death list."

Innumerable ghosts of hell appeared and rushed to Zakiya all at once. Every pain the endless number of ghosts exerted was an illusion.

"I'm not going to be defeated again." Zakiya summoned the last of her strength to use against Mephistopheles. A storm of swords was born and shot toward him.

"Did you imitate Asmodeus? There is no point."

This illusion was meaningless before him. As soon as the sword touched him, it disappeared.

"Yes. My illusion is really helpless before you," Zakiya admitted. But what if it wasn't an illusion?

"This is… … . " Mephistopheles's knees shook seeing the sword penetrating him. "Dawn Bringer."

"Huhu. Yes. Are you familiar with the sword?"

"How did you?"

"I can't make a fantasy as powerful as yours." Dealing with the deceptive lord, she was only an illusionist. "But he told me that there was one truth in my life, even if everything else may have been a lie."

So her new ultimate skill was an illusion except for one thing, the one thing that was in her heart that made the illusion "real." It wasn't a matter of believing it or not. There was something true beyond the fantasy, and the one truth in her heart was…

"My heart for His Majesty. That's why his sword is real."

"Kuk… … . "

"Huhu. After all, you are but summoned to this battlefield. If the core of your existence is destroyed, you'll be destroyed too."

"To think I will be extinguished by this 'truth.' I will be teased for it later."

"I do not know. Will there be a later?"

Believing that their respective Sungjin would win, the demon and dancer disappeared together.

Pandora once again admired the feats of the team members who had drawn a tie against the Six Demon Kings of Hell. Behind all this was the guidance of Sungjin, and… … .

Everyone lived up to that expectation.

Did Sungjin predict this? Or had he believed in them? Either way, it was amazing.

Utilizing a power one already had and pushing it to its maximum potential was an amazing thing. It was another way to unlock the full potential of his team by teaching those who were less talented than him at eye level.

Then the end of this game will be… … .
