The moment the Banana Bus had arrived, Delirious kicked the door open and proclaimed.
"There is no need to fear! The mighty Delirious is here!" Delirious shouted proudly as emerged from the hole on the bus' ceiling.
"Shut it, Delirious! This is a very serious matter," Terroriser shouted, pointing to Pablo, "Mini's here!"
"Brian!" Sherene was excited. But the cyborg did not reply to her. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the demon in front of him.
Pablo. Or Craig Thompson is his actual name.
Likewise, Mini Ladd was completely fixed in Terroriser.
"Forty earth years. Four dark realm centuries. Abandoned. Trapped. Left to Die. But I endured: I fought, I consumed, I evolved." Mini Ladd declared, raising his hand and a flame of crimson hue manifested in his palm, "I have no idea where you guys got here but I have never forgotten you and the others, Brian," he said, his lips curved up in a cruel mile, "I have spent centuries in this world from whatever cosmic shit transported me long ago! I have dream this day would come, but never expect that MY DREAM HAS CO-"
"Oh you dirty bitch, work the shaft!"
"Excuse… me?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I, heh, I like to dirty talk when someone's sucking my DICK!"
"...You do know you're insulting a demigod! I have been waiting for this for 400 years to meet you once again!"
"Yeah sure, in my perspective, the only time we interact is 4 months ago, and it's only in the comment section of a random Tweeter meme." Terroriser mockingly chuckled, "Anyway, I'm sorry for my actions, it's that I'm so agitated because some four eyed douchebag appeared in my adventure and is talking to me so dirty as if he was talking to that minor back then!"
"..."
"🙂"
"...Duke, I think I'll be unable to continue helping you."
Within a split second, a tremendous amount of magical energy erupted from Mini Ladd's body, like a vortex of death that distort the surrounding space. Everyone, including the Duke, stepped back anxiously as they could feel the strong pressure coming from him.
Seeing he successfully pissed his former friend, Terroriser grinned, "Guys, I will be occupied in a moment, so don't get yourself killed." he said to his friends and took a step forward. He did not hesitate or pay attention to anything else. He knew who his enemy was.
'Damn, I still have a minute and twelve seconds before this armor vanishes!"
Without wasting time, in his hands, two longswords in crimson energy appeared, and behind him, tens of magical miniguns surfaced, ready to be shooted.
But Mini Ladd's aura did not fall behind Terroriser, no, his was more overwhelming. He clenched his fists with an eager smile and crimson-black demonic energy circled around them, extending outwards and creating the image of a bloodthirsty beast behind him.
"Now, shall we start?" The demon lord said with a cheerful smile.
"Yup!"
Then, his body flickered.
The next instant, his two swords were hacking towards Mini Ladd's head. At the same time, the magic miniguns fire!
With two Lances and thousands of magic bullets, Mini Ladd simply crosses his arms over him, then the saws in his wrist size increases! Stopping both of the swords and the magic bullets. Then, he kicked the ground, throwing a punch towards the armored cyborg, but it was stopped by a barrier that appeared around Terroriser.
After the first exchange, the pair clashed again and broke through another part of the roof of the city hall, bringing their battle to the clouds.
Samara and Yoga still continue fighting in the clouds. With the addition of Terroriser and Mini Ladd, four demigods were fighting on the clouds of Orazvil City.
Although the fight between powerful beings was very fierce that is enough to distort the fabric of reality by their battle alone, it was not the main show of tonight.
While Terroriser was fighting Mini Ladd, the other eight people inside the city hall confronted the Duke.
Vanoss, Delirious, Basically, Moo, Nogla, Wildcat, Julian, and Sherene charged towards the Duke.
"Be careful!" Sherene shouted, "He is using the souls he harvested tonight to increase his strength! His goal is to break through to demigod and increase his lifespan!
Hearing her warnings, the smartest one among them instantly understood the Duke's plan.
Normal people, practitioners, and mages have a lifespan of eighty to one hundred years, with some of them living a bit more. Stronger practitioners can keep their youth for longer, but their lifespan is essentially the same.
Even a peak A-rank practitioner can not live longer than a normal person.
But it is different when you reach Demigod level.
As soon as the duke succeeded and transcended to the demigod realm, not only would his lifespan increase infinitely but he would ascend to a spiritual life form.
And now, although he had not succeeded yet, he was very close. His cultivation was constantly climbing, approaching to the demigod level. Currently, he was as strong as a half-demigod!
Vanoss was the first to attack. But before he could engage any further, ten of the Duke's men charged in front of him, most of them stronger than Vanoss in terms of strength.
But in speed...
Shing_!
Except for the Duke and Sherene, Vanoss uses the skill and kills the ten Rank 5 instantly with his Netherite sword.
After killing them, he then pulls out his Ultimate AK, and shoots thousands of bullets in the direction of the Duke.
"YAAAAA!!!"
But the blood-red mana around the Duke stopped the attacks easily. It then turned into a serpent-like monster that assaulted Vanoss.
"[Holy Protection!]" The Holy Priestess prayed. Instantly, a barrier of light appeared around Vanoss, stopping the attack. Evan took advantage of that opportunity to resume his attacks.
Meanwhile, Julian appeared suddenly behind the duke. He wielded his two daggers as vipers that bit towards the Duke's neck. But it was as though the duke had eyes on his back. Without warning, the chains around him trembled and moved to stop the daggers. Then, they tried to entangle Julian.
"Damn it!" He cursed and tried to evade the chains. Fortunately, Sherene's support came at that moment. She called upon a floating sword of light and struck the chains allowing Julian to escape.
The rest of the Banana Bus Squad, meanwhile, stood in attention with Wildcat in the front, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back and began speaking in a south american accent.
"Okay yawl cocksuckin' brats! Thet asshole Duke has thet same teb pound piece uh shit on his chest. An yawl remember whut thet Rip-awf Armstrong sayud?? Magic don't do shit! An yawl know whut way should do? Thets raht, way shall do wun thang an wun thang monly! Way will show thus warld thuh Might uh Superior Farpower!"
"OORAH!!!"
"NOW YOU MOTHERFUCKIN CUNTS FIRE EVERYTHING YOU GOT!"
"Roger that! Nogla shouted.
BAMBAMBAMTATATABAMBAMBAMTATA!
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!
Wildcat, holding two machine guns alongside most of the Banana Bus squad, opened with a burst of fire with modern guns, sending thousands upon thousands of rounds in the duke's direction.
"Special delivery!"
Lifting an RPG over his shoulder, Nogla aimed at the duke and fired, sending a rocket flying and traveling at blistering speed.
The Duke snorted boredly and simply waved his hand, turning his mana into a barrier that stopped the bullets and the rocket. Then, the blood-red mana turned into hundreds of magic arrows that flew towards the group at more superior speed.
"Continue attacking! I'll take care of them! [Holy Protection]!"
Even though Sherene could not call upon too much power of the goddess in the current situation, her own strength was still at the Rank 3. If she focused completely on defense, she could manage to stop most of the duke's attacks.
Trusting Sherene's words, Everyone ignored the arrows. At the same time, Moo released the heavy armored Warden.
"Warden, struck him down!"
Following its master's command, the Warden immediately stood up, the concrete floor crumbled beneath its weight, and sent forth a powerful sonic boom which destroyed everything in its path!
But the Duke let out a roar, both sonic boom attacks collide and create a powerful shockwave that breaks all of the glass windows and pushes the people a few feet! Nearly everyone got their eardrums blown apart, letting a large amount of blood leak from their ears as some died from the noise. After dealing with the Warden's attack, the Duke then stopped Julian's new attack with a barrier of mana while using another barrier to stop Wildcat, Delirious, and Marcel's swords that were coming from the right side.
But suddenly, he felt something was wrong. Without hesitation, he jumped back evading their weapons, but at that moment, he saw a green shirt man jumping towards him.
"YEEEEE...!" Nogla let out a bellow. His mana turned into the gauntlet-like aspect then clenched his fist and filled his body with more strength.
Since the beginning of the battle, he's been taking care of the other Duke's lackeys, hitting them until he reaches the 67th punch he used.
Now, using the 68th attack for the Duke, he unleashed a punch!
"HAW!'
The Duke grunted. A new barrier appeared blocking Nogla's punch which created another powerful shockwave and made an earthquake of Magnitude 7.1, but the City Hall still stood because it can withstand earthquakes. However, the barrier cracked fiercely, but in the end, it resisted.
Then, the Duke clenched his fist and unleashed a punch of his own.
"OOF!" Nogla crossed his arms to resist his punch, but even so, he was sent flying away in a perfect spiral throw, destroying several walls in the process.
If not for Sherene's protection barrier and the enchanted Diamond armor Nogla wore to stop part of the punch's strength, that attack could have killed Nogla.
But while the Duke was done dealing with Nogla, Vanoss raised his AK-47 and took aim.
…Towards the location of the node!
"And my heart goes-"
"Dream on!"
Before Vanoss pulled the trigger, the Duke stopped him and shouted. Instantly, a barrier of blood-red mana appeared around the node, stopping thousands of bullets easily. And before Vanoss aimed it towards the Duke, several spears of mana were coming towards him.
"Damn!" Vanoss cursed under his breath and jumped away. Then, in a perfect 360, he shoots two enchanted Crossbows at the same time and attacks both the Duke and the node.
However, the Duke turned his mana into a whirlpool that blew the attacks away. Moreover, the barrier defending the node held strong.
At that moment, Sherene called upon several lightning bolts and several flying holy swords attacking the duke and the barrier, but both of them remained standing without suffering damage.
Basically cursed, "God damn it! It's useless to attack the node. The barrier protecting it is connected to the magic circle. Unless we are able to destroy it in a blow or kill that bastard Duke, it will still hold strong!
"Then how were we supposed to kill the duke then!?" Julian added, "The amount of mana he can use is astonishing! That mana has already surpassed the level of a Rank 10!"
Marcel nodded. Although the Duke was not a demigod yet, with the support of the magic circle, he could use much more mana than a normal Rank 10.
While evading the attacks of the Duke, Marcel thought about the situation. Soon, his gaze fell upon the node.
In the end, that node was the key to this battle.
At that moment, an idea came to his mind. Unfortunately, his way behind the frontlines and his plan won't work if it's only him. However, he can message some of his friends who are close to the Node about the plan he has. But before he could message it...
~ SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL DRILL REMIX ~
Someone's foot simply raised up.
BOOMMM!!!
A powerful surge of mana occurred behind them. Sand, rubble, and stones were blown away.
[GIF]
Then, an intimidating figure stood up from the cloud of dust within an instant.
"FUCKING BASTARD!"
Casting a fierce glance at the duke with rageful green fiery eyes, Nogla stomped on the ground with his foot and launched himself towards the duke like a high-speeding bullet. A giant crater appeared on the earth where Nogla stomped on as a result.
Punching with all his strength, Nogla unleashed the entire power of his inner magic in a blow. And astonishingly, the mana fluctuations on his one fist is at the peak of Rank 10.
"RAHHHHHHH!" Nogla's cry was filled with rage. His figure was wrapped by a frightening green mana that coalesced around his body.
He is about to use the final 69th strike!
Using the momentum of the large amount of mana within him, Nogla kicked the ground and appeared in front of the Duke, clenching his fist and unleashing a powerful blow.
"ORA!!!"
The Duke's eyes opened wide. Instantly, a barrier of mana appeared in front of him, blocking Nogla's punch. But almost instantly, the barrier cracked up until shuttering. Then, Nogla's punch continued forward and sent the Duke flying.
BOOM!!!
