Chapter 160: But It’s Weaker Than Me

Leo watched as Abaddon was slaughtering the monsters with ease as the horde headed towards the knight. His eyes widened when he saw a wave of mana surging into his soldier’s body as his strikes got deadlier.

The Demon Knight carved through the monstrous horde like a force of nature. Shadows clung to the warrior’s form, his blade a blur of death, slicing through flesh and bone with terrifying skill.

’Looks like Abaddon is growing strong,’ he pondered with glowing red eyes. ’I wonder what the other knights will be like.’

Leo felt the ground tremble with the weight of collapsing bodies, rivers of dark blood pooling at his feet. The knight moved with inhuman speed, his strikes fueled by a surge of crackling mana that twisted through the air like a storm.

Each swing sent shockwaves through the battlefield, tearing beasts apart as if they were nothing. An hour later, a horn rang out, and the monsters started retreating toward the fortress.

’’Why are they running?’’ he muttered while pondering to himself. ’’Aren’t they creatures?’’

Determined to find the devil king, Leo turned his focus to the fortress. With a fierce determination, he unleashed a torrent of magic. Fireball after fireball materialized in the air, each one glowing with fiery intensity.

Thousands of blazing orbs filled the sky, their light casting an eerie glow across the landscape. He poured his mana into each one, watching as they pulsed with raw, volatile energy, vibrating with power.

With a single gesture, he hurled them toward the fortress, each one streaking through the sky like a comet of destruction. As the firestorm raged, Leo snapped his fingers, summoning Abaddon back to his realm just as an earth-shattering explosion rocked the battlefield.

The shockwave shook the very air around him as debris flew everywhere, but his armor blocked it. Once it calmed down, he approached the now-destroyed fortress that was smoldering.

While walking, he summoned Abaddon, who silently appeared behind him as screams started echoing out. Leo quickly cast Thunderbolts into the dying devils that littered the ground.

He felt the experience pouring into his body and the levels shot up thanks to all the kills he racked up since being in the devil realm. The two continued until another knight stopped them.

’The aura is weaker than good old Abaddon, but it’s weaker than me,’

Leo mused, as his red eyes glowed with wickedness.

This time, the enemy was far more menacing than the first of his knights. Clad in wicked, spiked armor that seemed to pulsate with dark energy, the devil towered over the battlefield. At eight feet tall, his presence was overwhelming.

In his grip, he wielded a massive warhammer, its head as large as a boulder, gleaming with a malevolent, bloodthirsty glow. Every step he took sent ripples through the ground, his aura radiating raw, unrelenting power.

Abaddon stepped forward, but Leo stopped him with a wide smile. ’’Let me deal with this one. I have to show you why I’m your lord.’’

The black knight nodded before standing aside as the enemy rushed forward while letting out a wild roar. He chuckled at the devil’s confidence and let it get close enough to swing the warhammer.

Leo sidestepped the swing. Before the weapon could even strike the ground, his fist blazed with mana. With a deafening roar, he drove it into the devil’s stomach, unleashing the full force of his power.

In that instant, the world seemed to freeze. A thunderous boom shattered the silence, echoing across the battlefield as the force of his blow sent the devil soaring into the sky like a missile, a streak of darkness against the heavens.

The ground trembled beneath Leo’s feet as the air hummed with the aftershock of his punch. But that was far from the end of the show. In an instant, he shot into the air only to reappear above the devil knight, his fist glowing like a falling star.

He drove his fist down with earth-shattering force. A triumphant smile spread across Leo’s face as the devil knight plummeted to the ground like a comet, smashing into the earth with a deafening crash.

It created a crater that sent debris flying in every direction. Leo landed with a thud, his boots sinking into the earth, and his eyes locked on the wreckage below. Through the smoke and dust, he saw movement.

The devil knight was still alive, which made him smile before speaking. ’’Look, you have two choices. Serve me or die.’’

When the enemy heard this, it tried to get up but Leo punched it back down while warning in a low voice. ’’Make your choice, devil.’’

Moments later, Abaddon appeared and looked down at the enemy, who quickly accepted when seeing this. Leo smiled before jumping up and waiting for his second knight to climb out of the crater.

When the devil appeared, he spoke while using his magic to clear the dust. ’’Your name with be Dagon. Join Abaddon in the knight realm while I continue traveling.’’

Following that, the two knights vanished after kneeling in respect. Leo started walking into the tunnel that Dagon was guarding. The journey was like this for weeks, which bored him to no end.

Leo sat by the cascading waterfall, its icy waters tumbling into the abyss below, where a dark chasm stretched endlessly. A staircase wound down into the shadows, its eerie presence enough to make his stomach tighten.

He swallowed hard, his mind racing. ’Why do I have to walk into that nightmare?’

Shaking his head to rid himself of the grim thoughts, Leo stood, his muscles stiff from the weight of his decision. He finished the last of his ale in a single swig, the liquid burning down his throat.

He wiped his mouth and glanced one last time at the abyss, its dark depths pulling at him like an unseen force. Without a second thought, Leo leaped into the void, the cool air rushing past him as he slowly descended into the darkness.

’Hopefully, I’ll find another knight soon,’ he mused while sending something slithering around.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand, summoning a barrage of Fireballs that erupted from his palm. The orbs streaked through the air, exploding with a deafening roar as they tore into the darkness, incinerating the monsters that dared to approach.

The first wave of spider-like monsters hurled themselves at him. He cast Mana Barrier just as the monsters aimed their fangs at his chest. They collided with the barrier, their bodies crashing into the stone walls with sickening thuds.

Leo wasted no time and sent Thunderbolts cracking through the air with a deafening roar. The bolts of raw electricity struck with pinpoint accuracy, turning the spiders to ash before they even hit the ground.

The battle raged on, the sound of thunder and chaos filling the chasm. Leo moved like a storm incarnate, his magic destroying the swarm with little effort. Hundreds fell in mere moments, their screeches silenced by his attacks.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of battle, the remaining monsters hesitated. Fear twisted their grotesque forms, and one by one, they turned and fled into the darkness, no longer willing to face him.

’’Amusing,’’ he murmured. ’’At least they’re scared now.’’

Leo’s smile grew wide as his journey through the chasm was uneventful as the monsters left him alone. Ten minutes later, he arrived at another chamber full to the brim with devils waiting to fight.

Without waiting, he summoned Abaddon and Dagon before ordering the two Demon King Knights. ’’Kill them all and spare no one.’’

The moment the words left Leo’s lips, the two knights surged forward, their weapons gleaming with deadly intent. As they collided with the horde, the battlefield erupted in a savage frenzy.

Blood sprayed through the air, painting the ground in a crimson tide as the knights sliced through the devils. Their movements were quick, each strike a death sentence, each blow an act of brutal efficiency.

Leo watched from the edge of the chaos, his eyes narrowing as the battle unfolded. ’They’re getting stronger,’ he thought, his mind sharp as he observed the fierce exchange.

The knight’s attacks were more coordinated, their strikes faster, and more deadly than anything the devils could do. Whenever the enemies tried to encircle the two, he would cast a wave of Fireballs at them.

Leo chuckled as the flames turned the enemy soldiers to ash. It took them hours to carve a path through the devil’s horde, but just like the monsters, they fled deeper into their realm, with him following behind.

While doing this, more horrible creatures tried attacking him, but one knight would cut them down. Leo grinned at this before the trio reached the next fortress, which he blew through using Fireballs.

His overpowered spell wiped out resistance, allowing him to continue as the knights quickly killed any remaining monsters.
