"Chase, this time... it's my turn to protect you!"
After many years, Mira, having once again taken in Satan Soul, seemed to have her personality affected as well, becoming cool and ruthless.
Yet, looking down at Chase in her arms, she tried hard to suppress her surging demon instincts, doing her best to keep her voice gentle and soft.
Chase, being held in a princess carry, felt his old face flush. He stretched his neck and poked his head out, finally managed to look past the vast, boundless peaks and meet Mira's eyes, so close to his own.
"I've never doubted that." He smiled, his expression firm.
Demon Mira didn't reply. After nodding, she gently set him down.
Turning once more to face Sky Drum in the distance, the tenderness deep in her jet-black eyes rapidly dissipated, replaced by an intensely burning rage.
"I'll kill you." She spoke coldly.
This arrogant and provocative demeanor made Marshall raise an eyebrow, a similarly overwhelming killing intent surfacing in his own eyes.
Now possessing the body of one of the Eighteen Demon Gods, he was a god about to rule the world—how could he tolerate such "disrespectful" gaze upon him?
Especially since this person had been, just moments ago, a weak woman without the strength to even truss a chicken!
"Arrogant and ignorant woman! Die!"
Marshall roared, and behind his massive body, countless dark green vortices densely materialized.
The surrounding space twisted accordingly, and beams containing terrifying power shot forth from within, their target directly aimed at Mira!
Mira cocked her head arrogantly, her white hair swaying in the gale.
Facing the space magic bearing down from all directions, she calmly extended her demonic right arm, spreading five fingers wide.
Black lightning erupted, wildly leaping at her fingertips.
In an instant, a dark purple magic circle radiating Satan's power had already formed.
Countless pitch-black hands, thick with dense demonic aura, reached out from within, grasping directly at the spatial beams filling the sky.
"Dark Torrent!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The two collided in mid-air, blasting out waves of flame that spread along the entire coastline!
A single point of black light burst through the explosion, instantly appearing within Marshall's line of sight.
Mira stood on Sky Drum's chest, hands crossed, magical power converging at her palms, releasing dazzling thunder and lightning.
"Super Flash!"
The unexpected close-quarters attack caught Marshall off guard, leaving him no time to react. As electric current penetrated deep into his bones, his expression twisted and contorted in agony.
He raised a massive foot and stomped deep into the earth's surface, forcibly enduring the attack while simultaneously erupting with magical power, repelling the close-range Mira.
Mira spread her demon wings to their maximum extent. After stabilizing herself, she clenched both fists, forming two pitch-black magical orbs.
"Bitch, don't get too full of yourself!"
Watching Mira charge at him again, Marshall was genuinely enraged. He violently swung his fist, which was covered in spatial vortices.
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Fists howled through the air. The two, having compressed their magic to the limit, clashed hundreds of times within mere seconds in an incomparably violent manner!
The more Marshall fought, the more shocked he became. Under Mira's fierce fists, he—with his enormous body—was completely suppressed, finding no opportunity to counterattack!
In terms of pure physical combat ability alone, this weak woman—who he could have crushed with a single finger moments ago—was actually fiercer than Chase had been?
How was this possible!
Marshall immediately abandoned his frontal assault stance. Instead, he raised his palm and cast Space Magic at Mira.
Hum.
The chaotic vortex, flowing with green light, dragged Mira into another dimension, causing her movements to briefly stall.
Seizing this opening, Marshall opened his mouth and unleashed a spatial magic, roaring it directly at Mira.
Mira had just forcibly torn through the alien space with her magic when she collided with the spatial light wave.
The terrifying power, bursting instantly, pushed her flying backward across the sky, heavily plummeting into the distant sea like a cannonball.
SPLASH!
Water exploded. A dozens-meter-high water column shot skyward, soon washing away under the waves and returning to calm.
"Heh, relying on mere human power to contend with a War God? Ridiculous... WHAT?!"
Before he could enjoy his triumph for even two and a half seconds, Marshall's attention was shocked by the increasingly accelerating ocean currents.
Focusing his gaze, he saw that at the center of the currents, Mira had spread her arms, using her own magic to mobilize the surrounding seawater, forming an incomparably spectacular massive whirlpool!
His judgment had ultimately been wrong.
The one fighting him now was no ordinary human, but a "monster" possessing the power of the demon Satan!
"Rampage...Impact!"
The moment the kinetic energy of the oceanic vortex reached its limit, Mira pushed with her arms, violently hurling it toward Marshall.
The rapidly spinning current roared forth, its momentum so vast that its scale actually surpassed Marshall's own body!
Marshall's eyes condensed, his fingers forming a strange gesture as he constructed a wall of space before himself through magic.
CRASH!
Although the water impact successfully shattered the spatial wall, its own energy was also exhausted, dissolving into an ordinary downpour onto the earth.
The rain blurred Marshall's vision. Dimly, he seemed to see, at the end of the mist, a profoundly deep black light flickering and accumulating.
The Rampage Impact just now had merely been Mira's feint.
Her true purpose was to unleash Satan Soul's ultimate killing move!
Suspended in the air, Mira's gaze was sharp as she slowly raised her demonic hands and placed them at her waist.
A giant black magic circle ignited, then rapidly contracted, disappearing into the space between her palms, condensing into a high-density magical energy ball radiating an aura of destruction.
ZZZAP!
In an instant, black lightning wreaked havoc, swirling into a hurricane that disrupted the surrounding airflow.
"How dare you hurt Chase... hurt my companions..."
"Someone like you... absolutely cannot be forgiven..."
Under Marshall's terrified gaze, Mira unhesitatingly thrust her arms forward.
"Soul · Annihilator!!"
BOOM!!!
The pitch-black light beam, compressed to its limit, shattered space and struck directly onto Marshall's enormous body, blasting out a giant black hole that covered most of the island!
Black light rages, shooting skyward.
Even the people on the magically powered boat, who had retreated far away, could faintly feel that heart-stopping terror!
The terrifying phenomenon continued for over a minute.
When everything finally returned to normal, looking down from the sky:
Sky Drum's body was already in disrepair. Flesh and bones were gradually dissipating, exposing Marshall—his face full of panic—located in the heart region.
Purple smoke steamed. Mira slowly descended from the air, arriving beside Chase.
By now, she had already transformed back into her original beautiful and gentle appearance.
Blue Bar—or more precisely, magical power—had always been her weak point.
Especially with this first "unsealing" after many years, the burden on both body and spirit was immense. She had clearly reached her limit.
This was also the fundamental reason she hadn't taken in a stronger demon.
Mira's chest heaved violently. Breathing heavily, she gazed at Sky Drum, which was gradually dissipating like foam.
Just as she was about to sigh in relief, suddenly, overwhelming scarlet blood light exploded before her eyes.
Following it came an extremely depressing demonic aura!
Mira's pupils contracted sharply. Her face drained of color.
