Chapter 281: CHAPTER 281 - True Power of the Demons.
The demon generals had forgotten about the fact that they didn't just have to end the fight quickly, but also prevent him from getting close to the SD (Shatter Devourer).
They never thought that it would be this hard to suppress Alex, even with all of them together.
Yes, they weren't using their true powers, but look at the stats!
Alex was supposed to be Legendary 3, yet he was fighting Mythical 3, and now he was even forcing them to use their real power.
How could they've known that they were fighting with someone who had been a protagonist in the last world?
Alex would never be transported to an area that could get him in a disadvantageous situation, not until his starting point was a world in which he had been a protagonist.
Luck might never increase more than EX-rank as that was the highest luck one could have, but luck should never be underestimated.
Luck helps you make the best decisions you can make. Now, following that path is completely up to you, but luck is a very important factor.
So, with Alex's luck, there was no way he would get into a disadvantageous situation, but it looks like his luck has run out since the demon generals decided to stop holding back.
At first, they were relaxed….
'It's finally over-' X4
All four of them had the same thought.
It was really tiring - trying not to kill Alex.
So, when they saw Alex falling toward the ground, they sighed in relief...
*Crackle*
But their thoughts were cut short by a crackling noise.
'Shit!'
They exclaimed inwardly, standing up hurriedly and looking toward the source of the noise.
They were not new to that crackling noise, they had heard it before, and they knew what made that noise, so their eyes snapped toward the SD's direction.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
But then they heard a scream, and it sounded like the owner of that yell was experiencing the worst pain in his life.
'He reached that thing!' X4
The four of their bodies tensed as they felt the aura of SD getting denser.
Valerius, just like other demons saw what was happening, but unlike others, he could feel the change in Alex's aura, and he could feel the purity of Alex's mana increasing.
The way mana in the surroundings was getting sucked into Alex's body could be felt by the demons, and this shocked them to the core.
They knew that mana was sucked into the body every time someone breaks through, it was not something rare, but the intensity could never be so hard that it could be felt.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Just then, Alex' yell was heard again, breaking them out of their thoughts.
"Don't let him complete whatever he is doing!"
Valerius ordered in a hurried voice.
The urgency in his voice made the other demons' bodies tense.
They didn't know that Valerius was panicking because he knew that if Alex was allowed to transform, then they would have no other choice but to kill him.
And that was something he didn't want to do.
"Use your true powers; do whatever you can to stop him, but try not to kill him.
At least until we don't have an option."
Valerius reminded them with a heavy expression that he shared with the other three.
All of them knew that it was now or never.
If they couldn't stop Alex, then they would have to kill him.
"Come out, Drakeris."
Again, Morvan was the first to make a move as she muttered those words with a solemn look on her face.
*Woosh*
A large shadow gate opened behind her, and two large red eyes stared out of it.
The shadow portal was 30 meters high, and those red-slitted eyes were larger than a human head.
They stared out from inside the portal, looking at Alex, and for a second, those eyes widened a bit before they calmed down.
But that was all, those eyes just kept staring at Alex from inside the dark portal.
Morvan also didn't say anything at that.
She knew how powerful that being was; after all, it took her a while to summon and tame it.
'She, who doesn't even come out to fight Malak, is making a move on my first call?'
Morvan's muscles tensed and her eyes turned somber.
She knew how prideful and arrogant that being was, so just the fact that it did this much was enough to tell how strong Alex was.
However, it was not just Morvan who was preparing her attack, Malak, Valerius, and Nyx were as well.
Malak, whose body was always red and bulky, started to grow thinner.
His muscles started contracting.
"GAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
And with a yell, he smashed his hand on the ground, shattering the place he was standing on.
*Crack*
The ground cracked, and the crack extended till it reached a diameter of 1000 meters, and that was only because of a single punch, which was not his full power.
*Ssssssss*
With a sound that seemed like water being evaporated, Malak's body started releasing a lot of steam, and the next second, Malak stood up.
Now, unlike before, he was not bulky.
His height was also shorter than before.
Right now, Malak is 2 meters tall with 8-pack abs and well-defined cuts all over his body.
His face was still the same, but unlike before when it was circular, now it was angular.
His body was now many times stronger, and his eyes, which were now sharper than a blade, stared at Alex.
Nyx, on the other hand, didn't have much change in his physique, and neither did he summon someone or something.
But there were changes in him as well.
His face turned apathetic, his eyes turned blank, and his aura started changing into a gray-green color.
The aura around him has now changed from being joyous to gloomy.
A runic pattern started glowing on both of his arms.
The green shine from the runic marks only added to the gloomy atmosphere surrounding him.
He, just like the others, stared at Alex with his emotionless and dead eyes.
*Flap*
Just then, a flapping sound was heard, and Valerius came into view…..
*Dun*
The pressure excluded from him was enough to make the air tremble ever so slightly.
*Flap* X2
Valerius flapped the 2-meter-wide wings on his back as he levitated higher while staring at Alex, who was screaming in pain.
His eyes were now a darker shade of red, and his skin had now turned paler than before.
There were no other changes on his body if we don't count the nails of his hands, that were now 10 centimeters long and sharp.
His presence was now heavier than before, and he seemed more majestic than before.
Unlike the other three demons, he didn't have much change in his features, but his presence and aura were enough to tell that he was now strong enough to kill his previous form, without facing much problem.
"Attack."
A commanding voice left his lips, and the other demons followed his words without questioning.
