Chapter 1059 - 49: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole!
Galer Hashta, Death Arena.
After arriving here, Duncan realized that the grim combat resembled Azgregate’s new year celebration, since it’s the demon’s new year, naturally, it is celebrated with slaughter and death.
Marita’s voluptuous and seductive figure knelt before Duncan, speaking hesitantly, "Your first opponent is the six-armed serpent demon - Adrelis-Shatterer."
"She excels in multi-pronged attacks."
"Capable of wielding six enchanted longswords simultaneously to create a deadly whirlwind."
"Beware of her embraces."
"Her tail is formidable, capable of strangling powerful demons, and the venomous stinger can paralyze you."
A report was presented by a demon attendant nearby.
The six-armed serpent demon is a high-tier demon in the Bottomless Abyss, most likely Adrelis-Shatterer might have an additional advanced profession. Such powerful demon bodies possess strength close to thirty points. Though she appears in female form, her ferocity far exceeds ordinary demons, defeated foes often end up as ground meat.
Base challenge level 17+, considering advanced professions, it is estimated to exceed 20, with combat prowess approaching six-star silver gray.
These demons are also reserve subordinate demon lords.
The continuous champion Wolf Serpent Demon relied on champion’s honor to obtain territory and became a lower demon lord under the Dark Monarch.
If one doesn’t want to carve out territory by fighting, they must stand out within the Dark Monarch’s domain.
"She was favored by the Dark Monarch for some time."
"Initially thought she could gain prominence as a lover, but couldn’t compete with Glazest’s many lovers."
At this, a trace of mockery appeared on Marita’s enchanting face.
The Dark Monarch has countless lovers, no one maintains favor constantly, there is no future in the court route, the Dark Monarch is a heartless scoundrel.
Adrelis-Shatterer instead gained considerable fame with the six greatswords.
Duncan nodded slightly, putting down the report.
Marita continued hesitantly, "Margas-Soul Splitter, an advanced herald demon, formidable in strength."
"But you’re unlikely to encounter it."
"Its opponent is Abyssal Evil Flame - Balrog - Body Burner."
This herald demon’s opponent is a well-known Balrog Flame Demon, rumored to possess flame abilities similar to dark sorcerers, but rarely seen in action, most enemies cannot withstand the beheading greatsword of the Balrog Flame Demon.
There are other potential opponents, but major contenders are unlikely since the favorite is the Balrog Flame Demon.
"Wolf Serpent Demon - Zul Snagg."
"If you triumph, your final challenge opponent will be it, a highly formidable demon, with glorious achievements, and the Dark Monarch plans to appoint it as the new Demon Legion commander."
Marita lifted her head, speaking solemnly, "In a fight with it, beware its aerial beheading giant axe."
"And snake bite."
"It possesses constant true sight and panoramic vision, no one can sneak attack it."
Panoramic vision?
Can it possibly rival his god’s perspective?
Duncan’s demeanor was calm, slowly yet steadily pressing Marita’s head down, saying blandly, "Will the Dark Monarch come in person?"
Marita stammered, "Yes."
"As long as the Wolf Serpent Demon appears, he will definitely come, he greatly favors this brutal subordinate."
"If you want to rise in Zerata, your only option is to defeat the Wolf Serpent Demon."
The Dark Monarch’s lovers are changed every few years, while countless new ones arrive daily.
A blood-colored arena bathed in dim sunlight.
With numerous purgatory creatures released, many fodder entered the battlefield, serving as mere appetizers, starting with cruel sanguinary slaughter to ignite the atmosphere. The Bottomless Abyss has no shortage of slaves, sometimes it’s better to kill than keep them, directly extracting souls for recycling.
The lowest level of the arena is a massive soul-capture array, if slain demons have not dissipated souls, they can be recycled once again.
The Bottomless Abyss perfects consumption even until souls are completely digested by abyssal layers.
It is essentially a ravenous terrifying entity.
Amidst a roar of voices.
Duncan’s towering figure slowly stepped out, surrounded by frenzied cheers, shouting to crush him, grind him into meat paste, and mince him into fine stuffing, such cheers did not belong to Duncan, people merely wished to see the six-armed serpent demon grind him into paste.
—Adrelis-Shatterer (six-star silver gray).
This is a bizarre-looking six-armed serpent demon, overlook her facial and bodily strange structure, she should be considered the beauty of the Bottomless Abyss, especially the serpentine demon lines from neck to chest extending to waist, it is the Abyssal Will’s favor, only powerful upper demon appears with markings.
This blessing implies she received Abyssal favor, granting stronger protection on demon skin, equivalent to a legendary warrior’s armored skin.
Hiss!
Adrelis-Shatterer surveyed Duncan with an arrogant gaze, yet without slight disdain, gracefully raised her longsword, six swords facing Duncan, performing a complex and peculiar etiquette.
Duncan responded with a graceful posture and etiquette.
This is the Dark Monarch’s rule, once official grim gladiatorial combat begins, it requires an elegant opening, bloody process, and cruel outcome.
"What is that?"
