Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 387 - 182: Can’t Stump Him At All_3

The wind howled, lifting pebbles and gravel into the air, as surging energies clashed violently high above, intertwining darkness and light momentarily distinct before becoming entangled.

Wayne looked up to find Mona had already arrived, wielding a holy spear and battling the Thousand-Eyed Demon alone, leaving the latter in a miserable state.

One had to admit, when dealing with devils, angels were always the most professional.

Philomena arrived earliest, having exerted considerable effort to break through the chaotic space arranged by the Thousand-Eyed Demon; Mona arrived later but immediately confronted the demon face-to-face.

"I remember her..."

Philomena recognized Mona, who had stood behind Wayne like a little assistant at the Capital Grand Hotel.

Now that the two appeared together again, a sense of crisis intensified as she clung to Wayne’s arm and pressed it against her chest, saying sourly, "You two came together, are you close? She doesn’t look young, though."

She’s still younger than you!

Wayne complained inwardly but explained seriously, "Don’t get the wrong idea, she’s an assistant provided by the Holy See. I’ve taken their benefits; I often help them drive away devils." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Is that so?

Philomena expressed doubt as Wayne continued, "The Holy See is much smarter than other churches and have spared no effort to win me over to join them. To be honest, they’ve offered so much that I’ve almost agreed several times."

Philomena was furious. She knew that good men were sought after everywhere.

First, shameless allies and now a shameless Holy See; each taking advantage of honest people for their own benefit.

"Mina, you take on the devil, and I’ll search for the Divine Child. According to the intelligence, she should be nearby." Wayne struggled to free his arm and extended his senses to search for Kris’s location.

Despite still feeling sour, Philomena knew this wasn’t the time for emotional outbursts. With silver-white light flickering in her eyes, her body transformed into an elf.

Silver-white stripes symmetrically adorned her cheeks, and strands of silver hair fell beside her ears, her eyes shining crystal clear, as pure as the moonlight itself.

Stunningly charming to begin with, she became otherworldly beautiful after her transformation into an elf.

After transforming, Philomena’s height nearly reached two meters. Noticing Wayne’s adorably amazed expression, she touched her lips, leaving behind a fragrant hint as she gently pressed her finger to the corner of his mouth.

After teasing her little boyfriend, Philomena spread her ice wings, and Wind Element gathered, propelling her to the skies in an instant.

"Does the faith in moonlight include Ice Magic?"

Puzzled, Wayne turned and rushed toward the east, remarking to himself that elves were indeed great; next time he’d suggest his aunt transform before applying night cream.

High above, two women over thirty exchanged glances, both sensing dissatisfaction in the other’s eyes.

Their intuition told them that the other had no good intentions and coveted her owner/little boyfriend.

Pah, shameless! x2

The pressure on the Thousand-Eyed Demon grew as ruins isolated it from the domain the Moonlight Church had placed on the stronghold. Mona, with full power output, wielded the holy spear just like an angel summoned to the mortal realm by the Golden Rule.

Although he had received Aub’s help and had descended completely along with his thoughts and essence, his strength was indeed limited due to the loss of substantial territory in Hell. Fighting one formidable enemy was already difficult, but another indicated a clear intention for his life.

Thinking of his plan, the Thousand-Eyed Demon gritted his teeth. He had nothing left to lose and no reservations anymore.

If it worked, he would return to Hell as the Demon King;

If not...

He could only afford success, not failure. All his chips were on the table, making this his last gamble.

Holy Flame surged, moonlight was frosty, and the two types of faith magic, both sacred but varying in forms, alternated in use. The Thousand-Eyed Demon, overpowered, prematurely summoned his true form: a kilometer-long black leviathan spewing black smoke, reshaping its dominion in the mortal realm.

In terms of realm and strength, the Thousand-Eyed Demon undoubtedly surpassed the Legendary Mage. Capable of bestowing his power upon others, namely his followers, and creating his own familiars, was undeniably an ability of a Demigod.

But Aub had played him much too well, leaving the Thousand-Eyed Demon hanging for two months. Only when the demon had suffered significant territorial losses in Hell, reaching an all-time low in strength, did Aub provide resources and negotiate a deal.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon offered a refuge, a gateway to Hell;

Aub offered the Thousand-Eyed Demon a new vessel, ensuring his descent to the mortal realm.

A mutually restrictive deal, both parties believed they would have the last laugh.

Now the Thousand-Eyed Demon found it hard to smile. Angels weren’t part of the plan, nor was the sudden return of the High Priest. He had reason to suspect Aub’s treachery.

Luckily, he had his own schemes; otherwise, he’d die without knowing how.

To the east of the ancient city ruins, a black afterimage darted across the ground, body lightened by the Wind Element, moving with unparalleled agility.

A dark curtain tried to block his way, but Wayne simply ignored it, invoking the power of Hell through The Book of Greed and plunging into the depths of darkness.

The boundary of the Inverted Pentagram identified him as an ally, granting him passage and allowing Wayne to successfully breach the area.

Next, he faced the barriers set up by Aub, with the Life Alliance’s three layers of faith interjecting, demanding high purification from intruders.

Wayne effortlessly broke through, holding true to the saying that having multiple skills opened many paths. His connections were broad, and he was an insider wherever he went.

Nothing was too complicated for him!

As Wayne breached barriers one after the other, he stepped into the Dark Domain, a still space opened by Aub’s thoughts. To ensure absolute certainty, Aub even dragged down a portion of the stars, the mingled knowledge inherent within enough to stop any Golden Mage.

"Hey, dinner’s ready!"

Wayne’s form swelled, his tentacles rippling as he entered the Dark Domain.
