The Fleeing Demon God

Yes, that's right, it's excitement.

Perhaps he'd picked up some of Natsu and the others' silliness, but after seeing powerful members from other guilds, Eleven inexplicably became unusually excited.

Just as the old man said, the world outside the guild is just as fascinating.

At this moment, Halphas, who was being suppressed by the rock pillar, suddenly roared. It was no longer the silly babbling of a salamander, but a howl like a wild beast.

Terrifying demonic energy erupted from the demonic energy mass, and the steel-hard rock pillars crumbled under its erosion.

The rocks shattered, and a gigantic figure soared into the sky, unfurling a pair of overwhelming wings. Halphas's axolotl-like form easily made one forget that it too was a winged demon.

With a flap of its wings, two powerful whirlwinds were created, and in the next instant, Halphas vanished from its spot, escaping Jura's attack range.

So fast that it left no afterimage.

Those wings were not merely decorative; instead, they amplified its speed to a terrifying degree, completely transforming it from a clumsy salamander into a true demon god.

"Iron Rock Pillar"

Halphas's sudden acceleration caught Jura off guard, and she quickly cast her magic again. Countless thick rock pillars rose from the ground, blocking Halphas's path and attempting to slow it down.

However, the heavy rock was clearly not agile, and it seemed somewhat inadequate in the face of Halphas's current speed.

As Eleven sensed the demonic energy erupting from Halphas, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, as if for a moment he had returned to his childhood self when facing Deliora.

The evil in the air made Eleven.

Nausea, panic, and fear

However, this time it was no longer an invincible opponent.

A dark light flashed in Eleven's eyes, and his immense Spiritual Power instantly dispelled the dark demonic energy in the air. He lowered his head, pulled up Mira, who was also suppressed by the demonic energy, and smiled slightly.

"Mira, is this okay?"

Mira looked at Eleven's smile, her previously tense body relaxing slightly. She took a deep breath of the now clearer air around her and nodded vigorously.

Mira's resilience did not surprise Eleven. A triumphant smile spread across his face as he said in a deep voice, "Sana, let's go too!"

"Spiritual Super Acceleration Mode, activated."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Halphas, who had been dodging and weaving, suddenly became unusually slow. Several strands of Telekinesis coiled around him like giant pythons, waiting to launch a fatal blow.

"You're clearly a giant salamander, so stop flying around like that, you bastard!"

Time restarted, and Halphas, which was flying at high speed, was abruptly stopped. Its body was spun around by a huge force, and then it crashed to the ground with a loud bang, sending dirt flying several meters high.

At this moment, the Demon God Halphas was dumbfounded. Wasn't that potato-headed guy helpless against his speed? Wasn't he supposed to be completely under his control? How come he was lying on the ground in the blink of an eye? Damn it, did he cheat?

"Attack"

No one answered Halphas's confusion. Almost at the same time it crashed to the ground, Eleven's voice rang in Jura and Mira's ears.

"Take Over the Satan Soul Extinction"

Without the slightest hesitation, Mira enveloped herself in a raging demonic power, instantly transforming into Demon form. She gathered a large amount of dark magic in her hands, transforming it into a dark shockwave that rushed straight towards Halphas.

Jura was also a bit confused, not understanding how Halphas, who had been flying so happily just moments before, had fallen down. However, he was no novice and knew how to seize an opportunity to strike when someone is down, so he also unleashed his magic.

Countless iron spikes shot out from the ground, instantly turning the landing Halphas into a pincushion. However, Jura's attack did not end there. He slammed his palms together in front of his chest and roared.

"Supreme King Rock Crush"

The rock spikes that had pierced Halphas exploded with a deafening roar, inflicting secondary damage upon it. At the same time, Mira's attack arrived, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a dark purple mushroom cloud shot into the sky, the powerful shockwave almost knocking people off their feet.

"Did it succeed?"

No, not yet.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Halphas once again spread his enormous wings, stirring up a gale, and a monster covered in black blood soared into the sky.

Halphas appeared severely injured; almost no part of his original blue skin remained. He let out a beast-like roar at Eleven, then turned and ran.

That's right, the mighty demon god actually planned to run away at this moment.

This isn't because Halphas is too weak; it's because Jura, that bald guy, is too strong.

In terms of raw power, Jura might be stronger than Ur, who defeated Deliora back then, while Halphas, despite being called a demon god, might not actually be able to defeat Deliora.

Therefore, even without Eleven and his group's help, it's probably only a matter of time before Jura defeats Halphas.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Halphas does not escape.

"Oh no, that's the direction of town!"

Because Halphas fled so suddenly, Jura didn't have time to react and could only look in the direction Halphas had flown away and let out a cry of surprise.

Meanwhile Eleven and Mira had already soared into the sky, giving chase. The potato-headed creature on the ground could only watch helplessly as everyone flew away; it was just a kid playing with stones on the ground, how could it possibly think of flying?

In the sky, Eleven and Mira followed closely behind Halphas, but they couldn't catch up. Although Halphas was injured, it was still a creature with real wings and could fly very fast. Eleven and Mira, who were only half-baked at flying with magic, naturally couldn't keep up with it.

"Damn Mira, blast it down!"

As Eleven watched Halphas fly further and further away, he grew anxious and shouted at Mira. He then unleashed a Telekinesis strike, and a slightly bewildered Mira felt herself begin to accelerate wildly.

Clearly, she was thrown out by Eleven.

However, Mira was no novice when it came to combat. After a brief moment of distraction, she quickly regained her composure and found herself directly above Halphas.

A cruel smile curved her lips; the demonic energy within her made her laugh in a sinister way as she placed her hands directly on Halphas's back.

"Die, Demon Super Torture Flash!"

A fierce barrage erupted from between Mira's palms, striking Halphas's back and splattering large amounts of black blood.

Halphas's already shaky body was struck again, his form twisting uncontrollably, losing his balance, and finally crashing to the ground.

Directly below, the residents of Zaun town stared, mouths agape, at the colossal object falling from the sky, their minds churning with countless curses, yet unable to utter a single word.
