Chapter 312 Beelzebub
'Not bad. This ability is good for engaging with multiple enemies.' With these abilities, Kidd would become a terrifying opponent with degu users in the same realm as him.
Kidd's light body lets him advance and retreat if he wants to. He could harass his opponent with a kiting strategy or hit-and-run tactic if he enters the speed of light. And this also gave him immunity to physical attacks. Meaning, his opponent needed to use energy attacks or soul attacks to defeat him. And they still have to hit him, which was already a troublesome ordeal.
"Fein, what do you think? Would you like to go on a vacation or hunt some beasts in the forest next week?"
Fein's thought process was interrupted. 'Go hunting in the forest? Well, since I don't have anything to do, might as well come with him. I can also observe his changes closely.'
Although Kidd had changed. Fein was unwilling to just let this be. He has to investigate and find the reason behind Kidd's changes and help him. After all, Fein could only count his friends on one hand. For him, they are precious. So if a third party was involved, he was ready to kill.
Thinking of this, Fein smiled at Kidd. "No problem."
"Then count me in!" Michael chuckled. "It's been a while since we got to fight side by side together. What about you captain? Would you like to join us?"
Gregory looked at the mountain of papers on his desk bitterly. "Unlike the three of you, I don't have such a leisurely time." His expression was helpless as he said this. Then he turned his eyes to Michael and said. "That's why you have to hurry up and become a captain already. So I can retire with peace of mind."
"Don't worry Captain. After I get promoted to S rank, I would take your mantle." Michael said confidently.
"Well, I'm really happy that you came back." Fein leaned on Kidd and gives him a high five, which made Kidd laugh.
"You haven't changed at all. I honestly feel good that there are a lot of people worried about me." Kidd said with emotion.
Fein was taken aback at seeing Kidd's sincere expression and heartfelt words. 'Do you really feel that way? Or are you just acting? Yes, I didn't change, but it's you who changed.'
If Kidd was really acting, Fein would like to give him an Oscar! Because he couldn't find any flaws besides the lame excuses he had.
"Well, guys. I'm gonna return to our home first. I need to bask in the sun and visit my buddy." Fein felt something was missing when Voli wasn't by his side. 'Voli is probably upset because I didn't take him with me for a long time now. Well, I'll just gonna take him with me in the North.'
"Be careful on your way." Gregory reminded.
"I'll also rest in my home first." Kidd smiled.
Michael on the side scratched his head awkwardly. "Damn! I'm the only one who doesn't have anything to do."
...
A throne that glowed a crimson light was shining brightly in the middle. Six statues of humanoid creatures with pointed horns and wings similar to bats stood on the corners. They give an ominous feeling as if they would move at any given time.
Gold walls, red ruby gems stones, intricate black and white flooring like that of a chessboard. And the white fog that enveloped the place exuded a mysterious vibe.
At the top of the throne, a demon with black eyes as dark as a black hole sat boredly with his chin leaning on his left hand. In his head, five purple horns curved like a crescent moon making the demon looked particularly majestic. And the armor on his upper body with pupils and eyes designs, strange runes.
Dark mist covers his entire body, but it can't completely conceal the six bulging abdominal muscles of his body.
Thick purple veins protruded on his neck, which made him appear eerie.
"Three S ranks and an army of A rank and below were wiped out by a human being? Scum! Useless!"
Below him, ten demons trembled with every word of the demon on the throne.
The ten demons were all S ranks and each of them had mastered three to five S rank spells. But even then, they didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of the terrifying demon on the throne.
"Lord Beelzebub, the human has high-level attainment in swordsmanship. He's also in S rank realm, but it was said that he only hit the three S rank demons once and killed them."
Blue flames emerged from Beelzebub's dark eyes as he heard the Human's feat. "Interesting. It seems a monster appeared on the human side."
Beelzebub furrowed his eyebrows. 'This is a problem. With the emergence of this human, the plan to destroy the South would have to be postponed.
"Change of plans. All of you destroy the major forces in the North. We have to weaken the human side before the war."
His voice was so deep that the ten S rank demons kneeling on the ground shivered.
"Yes, Lord Beelzebub." The demons said in unison.
Beelzebub nodded with satisfaction. "Balanar, you would lead the group this time. And I heard that you already encountered that human once?"
Balanar instantly became nervous as Beelzebub stared at him with stern eyes. His heart sped up, and he felt that it would jump out of his chest.
"Don't be nervous. Speak... Tell me about that human who wiped out the three S-rank demons and the army I've sent." Beelzebub tapped the arms of the throne with his fingers.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
A tapping sound echoed in the whole place rhythmically, making Balanar swallow his saliva unconsciously.
