Chapter 1513 Too Fast

Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 9:50

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital

Locking onto its target the mohawk devil carrying a large hourglass on its back slowly moved toward it. This surprised the demigods and the rest, leaving them wondering why the devil was moving slowly instead of rushing toward its target. 

Did it want its prey to despair as it slowly approached it? As expected of a devil, indeed. Even in this situation, it dares to play and tease its prey. Well considering the prowess displayed by the mohawk devil, it had what it takes to be arrogant and prideful. 

"Fire," seeing the devil move toward them at a not rushed but not too slow pace, Ann ordered the turrets to open fire on it.

With Ann's order thousands of soul energy cannons each powerful enough to kill or mortally wound a demigod aimed at the devil and open fire at her signal. 

Seeing the humans begin their attack the other Five Devils do not stand back and order their demon armies to commence the attack on the city. Five devils and 6 demon armies rush to the city aiming for the turrets. 

However, the advance of each of the five devils was stopped by 5 groups made up of two demigod teams respectively. 

Feathered Devil Penna, the human face scaled snake devil, and the other three devils each were surrounded by the 10 demigods. At their peak strength, a decisive battle against ten demigods would not be mortal to them but now that their strength was sharply decreased by the world's will they had to thread cautiously against them. 

This was why Feathered Devil Penna wanted to sacrifice the demon army and arrange a blood dome of darkness temporarily turning the southern capital a part of the dark realm. This way not only would they regain their full strength but the demigod's strength would be suppressed by the world's will. Turning this decisive battle between them and the demigods into a one-sided slaughter. 

However, the ground underneath the city was refined into an array formation that prohibited demon sacrifices within it. So they could not sacrifice 2100 demons of the realms demon lord to the demon emperor to summon the blood dome of darkness. 

And now because of this one hiccup, the decisive battle of five devils against fifty demigods was looking in favor of the demigods. However, as long as they were careful and did not underestimate the demigods they could come out on top. 

Apart from not being able to summon the blood dome of darkness, the devil with a mohawk bothered all five of the devils, for not sticking with the plan. To be honest, they were mostly pissed at the mohawk devil because it had managed to breach the summoning contract using a false name and was able do as it pleased in the card world. 

However, none of them dare to complain or voice their thoughts seeing how strong that devil was. Yes, the mohawk devil's strength came as a shock to the devils too and none of the five devils seem to know the mohawk devil's true name. If not for the central government forces summoning them together with it, they would never have known that a giant devil with a mohawk existed. 

The mohawk devil walked leisurely toward its target with an hourglass strapped on its back using a bulky golden chain not fearing the incoming thousands of energy projectiles aimed at it. 

However, just as the energy projectiles were 250 meters from it, in a fraction of a second, instantly, the slowly strolling mohawk devil appeared 250 meters behind the thousands of soul energy projectiles aimed at it. Then it peacefully proceeded toward its target ignoring the thousands of soul energy projectiles that exploded behind it. 

Every demigod witnessing this scene held their breath for that fraction of a second because both their eyes and spiritual sense were not able to register the movement of the mohawk devil. They did not know how the devil was able to move from 250 meters in front of the soul energy projectiles to 250 meters behind the soul energy projectiles in less than a fraction of a second. 

The thousands of projectiles were about to reach the mohawk devil in a fraction second however the devil managed to move 250 meters past it, which could only mean that it was way faster than the energy projectiles themselves. This meant that the mohawk devil had transversed 500 meters in total while making it past thousands of soul energy projectiles in less than a fraction of a second.

It was as if the mohawk devil had used an instant teleportation skill which was impossible as the 250 turrets were constantly disturbing the city's space making it impossible for either the devils or demigods to use use space rule or space skill.

Even the five devils who witnessed the incredible feat pulled by the mohawk devil could help feel a sense of security, knowing that as long as they held off until the mohawk devil had its fun then it would take care of all the demigods. Not to help them but because the demigods were its prey.

As devils themselves, they did not expect the mohawk devil to help them or plan to ask it for help. However, they knew that any devil would not be able to resist the temptation of 50 demigod souls. Therefore, they were confident that once the mohawk devil has achieved its goal it will immediately take action against the demigods. 

It is at that time, they need to select a vessel and escape because five devil souls were also tempting for a devil as strong as that. These devils were not here to have a decisive battle with the demigods but to find a suitable vessel and hide in the card world to full fill their own agendas. One of them being starting their own cult in the card world to establish a constant supply of pure souls and special souls through sacrifices.
