Cliche Chapter 397-398: Against Sirzechs
🕑 Added 2021-12-09 21:44:34 +0000 UTCAsahi had a great view from a couple of meters from Rizevim. The inclusion of Lucifer’s son was unexpected.
‘Lilith must have invited him.’
What surprised him more was Rizevim overpowering Sirzechs with his creepy aura.
“Sirzechs Gremory, my admiration for your mother won’t change your fate today. You shouldn’t have attacked me when I was having fun.” Rizevim had taken the insult to his heart. “Motherfucker.”
Sirzechs kept advancing, his aura surging with every step. In the end, he decided to unseal his true form, releasing aura nearly ten times as Lucifer Asahi defeated before. The ground beneath him vanished to nothing, and the whole realm started to shake. For the devil bystanders, it might as well be the arrival of an apocalypse.
“Hoh, you concealed so much destruction under that tiny body. Hahaha, come, kiddo. Let us show why we are devils.”
Sirzechs rushed forward to fight, hitting Rizevim with fists clad in red demonic energy. Even Rizevim couldn’t afford to get hit by any, so he expanded his twelve pairs of wings and evaded each of Sirzechs’s mindless strikes.
Leviathan was thrown off by shockwaves produced from the clash of behemoths. She retreated even further before the pressure crushed her bones.
‘These monsters.’
Even under the brawl, Rizevim had the leisure to throw bullets of demonic power at Sirzechs. Lucifer’s demonic power simply amounted to nothing before his son. The aura around Sirzechs absorbed a majority of the bullets, but the rest knocked him back.
“You’re an amateur, aren’t you?” Rizevim didn’t forget to mock his opponent. “You mastered your inherent talent, but you never put it to use in a real battle. Such a shame. Your household butler put up a better fight.”
The truth was Sirzechs never actually fought like a brawler, but as a mage-type. His Power of Destruction was far too destructive for him to engage in a close battle. When he had honed his talent to its limits, Ajuka told him there was no opponent for him in the Underworld. Of course, Ajuka was using the Devil King as the highest standard, not Rizevim, who never came to the spotlight as a Super Devil.
Sirzechs’s face twisted, his rage exploding from hearing facts. “I’ll… kill you.”
The young devil threw himself at Rizevim, not caring about the demonic bullets exploding in his chest. Rizevim laughed and fought him head-on. The red aura erased the silver aura protecting Rizevim’s body. Rizevim constantly expanded demonic power to replenish, otherwise, he may as well expose everything to the destructive aura.
‘What a troublesome lad.’
Meanwhile, Leviathan quietly summoned her wings and chose to fly away from the chaos. Asahi came out of stealth and grabbed Leviathan’s wings with telekinesis.
“Hey, nude sweetie.”
“It’s you!” Leviathan instantly recognized Asahi. “You challenged Lucifer to a duel. What do you want from me?”
“Please use My Lord’s name if you may,” Grayfia said as she stepped out of Asahi’s shadow. She didn’t want to make an appearance, but the disrespect from Leviathan forced her hands.
Leviathan was forced to lower her head before Grayfia’s intense aura. The raging battle had shaken her confidence. She was a Devil King revered for her power, yet she couldn’t endure a shockwave from Rizevim and Sirzechs’ clash.
“Geez, Grayfia. Give the butt-naked woman some rest.” Asahi tossed a blanket at her. “Now, hurry up and drag all those Devil Kings here before the Underworld collapses. If you didn’t do as I said.” Asahi touched her face with a grin evil enough to scare the Devil King. “I’ll seal your powers and throw you into a pit of hungry orcs.”
He was half-serious with the threat. Leviathan, however, believed him for he was the man who made a saint out of the Great Devil King. Shivering, she nodded like a duckling.
“I-I’ll do it.”
Asahi smiled. “Go.”
He needed them to come and die here before Sirzechs became sane. The earthquakes should be enough, but he couldn’t take a chance. They might be fucking in some dark basement for all he knew.
As Leviathan flew off, Rizevim glanced to his side, his eyes meeting with Asahi. Sirzechs seized the brief opening and smacked Rizevim in the face. The son of Lucifer barely raised his hand in time to block the vicious punch imbued with the Power of Destruction. Even so, the clash of their demonic power generated a massive shockwave, flinging them apart.
“It’s not a whore’s house that welcomes every man. Is that the little girl from Lucifuge house?” Rizevim grinned at Grayfia. “Then you should be the guy who defeated my retard of a father. As you can see, I don’t have time or place to entertain any guests. How about you help me with that berserk son of a bitch and we can talk afterward?”
Rizevim wasn’t aware of Asahi’s motive for showing up at his place. However, he had no choice but to exploit him. Sirzechs, without any restraints, had a massive advantage in firepower over Rizevim. He was a beast looking for flesh. Rizevim wasn’t fighting such an opponent to death.
Asahi chuckled, realizing Rizevim’s desperation. If denied Rizevim right here, Lucifer’s son would undoubtedly flee.
Sirzechs saw Rizevim, Asahi, and Grayfia from a distance, and his eyes widened. “Grayfia… you traitor.”
The sin of jealousy and anger combined into one and bolstered the already monstrous aura of Sirzechs.
Sirzechs roared, unleashing every bit of his aura, and rushed at the three.
The devastating rush of energy shocked Asahi and Rizevim. Grayfia acted quickly and condensed ice into a colossal shield. The reckless Sirzechs tore through everything, his aura disintegrating the demonic-power-infused ice. Still, the ice slowed him down.
Grayfia clenched her teeth. “My Lord, I can’t freeze him forever.”
Even with all the upgrades and training, she had evolved to a stage beyond the Devil Kings. But she was still far from becoming a Super Devil.
‘I shouldn’t have slacked off after the news…’
Grayfia regretted taking things easy recently.
“Young ones are a pain, aren’t they?” Rizevim grinned, while he was preparing the teleportation magic circle behind his back.
Asahi unleashed a wave of spiritual pressure, causing Rizevim’s thoughts to halt for a second. It was his first time using Spirit’s Scourge he obtained from leveling up in Orario. The results were astonishing, to say the least. He could potentially kill Rizevim’s spiritual body while his flesh was intact, effectively sending him to a vegetative state. Of course, he would have to expend a lot of mental strength to achieve that.
“Grayfia, stop this fucker from running.”
Rizevim was dizzy from the pressure. Grayfia nodded and enveloped him in ice.
“Take care… he is different from everything we have fought so far.”
A man who had nothing to lose was a tougher opponent than the monsters in the Dungeon.
Asahi rubbed Grayfia’s head. “Don’t underestimate your husband.”
Asahi cracked his knuckles as a scarlet fire enveloped his entire form. His pupils and sclera became completely golden. His skin turned fiery red. “Let’s see who will burn to nothingness first.”
In the fire spirit form, he could fly without any external help. Still, he manifested a pair of wings to make the form dominant.
“Phenex?”
Rizevim had the same thought as the bystanders watching from miles away in the safety of barriers created by high-claws and ultimate-class devils.
Sirzechs broke the ice casing with a roar. “You forced Grayfia to betray… you killed my family.”
Sirzechs mumbled the same thing, His vision tunneled towards the man responsible for stealing his desired woman. With his wings out, he accelerated. Asahi met his frantic charge with a punch of his own, and the duo engaged in a close combat fight. The Power of Destruction wasn’t just for show; it hollowed Asahi’s very form with one touch. Well, Asahi had taken the hit on purpose just for the sake of testing Sirzechs’s offensive power. Sirzechs’s Power of Destruction was in the same league as Ddraig’s Penetrate ability. Unlike Ddraig, Sirzechs didn’t need to attack to use his ability. His entire body was a compressed form of Power of Destruction.
The inexperienced Sirzechs couldn’t land another hit on Asahi, who had cultivated the brawler with Rini’s help. Speaking of the monster hybrid, she had come to support Grayfia alongside the rest of the group. Rizevim had no chance to flee.
The other Devil Kings had also arrived to contain the shockwaves of the battle that shook the very core of the Underworld. They desperately created barriers after barriers to minimize the casualties. Nao stepped up and helped with wind barriers that considerably reduced the ripples of demonic power.
“This is insane,” Ajuka said, shaken by Sirzechs’s rage.
As he approached the battlefield, a group of girls stopped him. Ajuka couldn’t understand what humans were doing here, and why was their aura close to Devil Kings?
“You cannot go further,” Saeko said, brandishing the scythe that came with Asmodeus Diva. “Don’t force our hands.”
Shiori swung the hammer of Baal while gripping her katana in her left hand. “It won’t end well, good sir.”
Ajuka shook his head. “I need to help my friend. He will explode and destroy the Underworld if the battle continues.”
Ajuka constructed the Kankara Formula, performing a nullification on the magic weapons. Before he did so, however, a shadow manifested behind him, accompanying a chill of death. He flapped his wings as fast as he could and got away before the dagger of Aimi, the assassin, drew a bloody smile on his neck.
Just when Ajuka thought the attack was over, a bullet blazed past his hair. Ajuka frowned, knowing he couldn’t instantly defeat them without getting the assassin and the shooter in the shadows.
“Why are you girls stopping me?”
Shiori fixed her glasses. “We are the shadows of the future emperor. We’ll stop anyone from ruining our plans.”
“Shiori, stop…” Saya muttered. “My mind is breaking down with your chuuni stuff.”
Saya came here to witness Asahi’s spiritual form she had heard so much about. Klyscha had already made adjustments to teleport her the moment anything dangerous happened. There was also the ‘Shield Mine Women’ to tank one lethal hit.
Shiori just grinned and continued teasing Saya with more chuunibyou words. “Storm Queen engaging the Super Devil!"
While the girls were having fun with Ajuka, their husband was also having a blast with Sirzechs. The berserk devil, on the other hand, not so much. Sirzechs tried every trick he had up his sleeve. His rage went down considerably with his frustration dialing up.
‘Why? Why is he so strong?’
He should have been the strongest existence in the Underworld. Then why couldn’t he harm an inch of the man’s skin?
Even so, Sirzechs frantically launched orbs compressed to the brim with Power of Destruction. Asahi entertained him, terrifying the upper echelon of the Underworld gathered in mass. Sirzechs only served one purpose for him: to let the Underworld know what he and his companions were capable of. In the commoners' eyes, he was going to be the ‘hero’, who put an end to the rampage of a Super Devil.
He will have more than just words to back him up when he waged a true war on the true powers of the Underworld.
Sirzechs was suddenly distracted by
Ajuka’s fight in the distance distracted. Asahi’s hot hand landed on his face at the same moment, leaving five burning hot fingers on his left cheek.
“Sirzechs, didn’t you want to free the Underworld and give the citizens a better life? Look around you. Are you proud of being the villain this time?”
Asahi’s dignified voice echoed nearly to the ends of the Underworld.
Sirzechs couldn’t help but look around. The manor was no more. The city was nothing but a bunch of rubbles tainted with the blood of those he slaughtered unintentionally. He had done the opposite of what he and Ajuka set out to do.
Sirzechs pulled at his disheveled air and screamed, “It’s because of you… you killed my family. You started everything!!!”
Insanity clouding his vision, Sirzechs chose to eliminate the ‘root’ of all problems.
Another slap flew across the air, hitting Sirzechs right in the face. “Rizevim killed your family, not me.”
He wasn't taking any blame for the shit Rizevim pulled.
"You were with him," Sirzechs roared. "You colluded."
"You are unsalvageable," Asahi said with a sigh. "I gave you a chance to redeem yourself. No one will blame me for putting you down now.”
Asahi balled his fist and concentrated an insane amount of mana around it. The world itself distorted around his fist, dark shockwave blooming and dying each moment. Sirzechs amplified his own demonic power in response, taking to above and beyond his limits.
Both of them threw a fist at each other’s face. No flashy dodge. No extreme technique. A plain punch amplified to the best of their powers.
Asahi was launched backward, half of his jaw missing.
Sirzechs, however, wasn’t so lucky.
Ajuka desperately reached out to Sirzechs, but Saeko ruthlessly slashed his back.
