Alka dodged the attack from the Devouring Mouth.
The blood-red attack exuded a strong, nauseating scent.
Although Alka dodged, the attack struck the demon behind him directly on his back.
The crimson liquid melted into the demon's body, instantly transforming it into a pool of blood-red magma.
The nauseating smell emanated.
Watching this scene, Alka narrowed his eyes.
"Rare, truly rare. The one appearing before me isn't a fake, but its true form."
Alka said, looking at the Devouring Mouth before him.
Having been in the World Scar for so long, it wasn't like he hadn't seen the Devouring Mouth before.
However, every time Alka faced the Devouring Mouth, it used various fake forms, not its real one.
Since he arrived here, the Devouring Mouth had never appeared before Alka in its true form.
"You're not the only one growing stronger, my friend. Now's the time to put an end to this trouble of yours once and for all."
The Devouring Mouth grinned at Alka.
The grin revealed a dense array of teeth.
Then, a flood of abyssal aura emanated from him. Not only was the aura emanating, but even the Devouring Mouth's appearance underwent a transformation.
The horns on the Devouring Mouth's forehead, once small and elegant, began to grow upward and branch.
A pair of massive horns sprouted, becoming incredibly ferocious.
Barbs even grew around his orange-yellow demonic eyes. Most repulsive of all, the tiny wounds on his body resembled the mouths of worms upon closer inspection.
This was the prototype mouth of the worm he used for teleportation.
Then, the demonic bat wings behind the Devouring Mouth unfolded, but these wings had also changed. The bat-like structure was still visible, but with a difference, they resembled the fluttering of insect wings.
At this moment, the Devouring Mouth looked like a fusion of demon and insect, even more disgusting than before.
"If this is what you mean by becoming stronger, then you've indeed become stronger in terms of being disgusting," Alka said.
He reached out and grasped.
Invisible elemental power transformed into an arm, emerging from behind the Devouring Mouth.
It seemed as if he was only using elemental power.
But Alka also grasped invisible luck.
He could see that the Devouring Mouth was adorned with a great deal of the Abyss's favor.
The Abyss was watching him.
His luck, mixed with the Abyss's favor, firmly anchored him.
As he watched this scene... Alka knew it.
The time had come.
Behind the Devouring Mouth appeared the massive worm maw he'd used to teleport, swallowing Alka's condensed elemental arm whole.
In the surrounding air, another worm maw appeared.
From each maw emerged another worm.
These worms' mouths were like circular meat grinders, their bodies catapulting out.
Alka's figure instantly vanished.
The Devouring Mouth pursued him relentlessly.
Besides, the entire front battlefield was engulfed in fierce fighting.
"Haha, what's your name? I've had my eye on you for a long time!"
A gigantic demon, its body not blood-red, but rather more black.
The wings on its back were unusually large, and the demon itself stood about five meters tall.
Like a gigantic machine, he wore armor that looked like solidified magma, and in his hands wielded a massive battle axe that required two hands to wield.
He laughed heartily, wielding the axe as he slashed down fiercely.
The one battling him before him was…
Borolo, equally as large and even more formidable.
Like an ancient behemoth, he wore armor of perfectly formed metal.
Lightning rippled wildly from his body, and he moved at a speed completely disproportionate to his size.
The gathering storm converged on him, wrapping around him, forming an even greater outer layer of armor.
The arm, formed from the storm, swung upward.
It collided violently with the axe, creating a thunderous roar and sending a bolt of lightning crashing down from the sky.
The lightning struck both of them directly.
However, Pororo absorbed the lightning directly, then transferred it to the other party through their collision.
The other party could only withstand it.
But it was clear that the lightning bolts did not cause much damage to this powerful demon.
For this demon was a demon lord.
His strength was clearly greater than Pororo's, who lacked a crown-level treasure.
In the current environment,
The power that every demon lord could exert in the mortal world was basically at the level of the first under the gods.
The equivalent of a mortal on the path to godhood.
Another axe strike.
Pororo was defeated.
"I'm very fond of you! You look like a beast from the Abyss! Why not accept the Abyss's favor? You'll instantly gain the same power as mine!
Look at this power! How formidable!"
The demon lord's great axe, coated in orange-red lava energy, took a powerful step forward, stepped onto the city wall, and slashed down fiercely.
Pororo could only cross his arms to resist the blow, his entire body sinking into the wall under the immense force.
A huge dent appeared in the ground.
A vast aura of the Abyss surrounded the two, seemingly ready to envelop Pororo at any moment.
It must be said that the ferocity Pororo displayed in his battles with demons truly earned the Abyss's favor.
The aura of the Abyss constantly lingered in the environment where Pororo fought.
If Pororo wished, a flood of abyssal energy would instantly invade his body, elevating him into a powerful demon.
"Demon? Tsk!" Pororo said disdainfully.
He roared, his eyes turning blood red, and violent lightning began to gather around him.
With no one around them capable of joining the battle, the situation became extremely dangerous.
A raging storm enveloped the area where they stood, and thunder rumbled from the sky, crashing down furiously.
A blue light flickered around Pororo, and lightning gathered around him.
"Haha, that's it!"
The demon across from him was not surprised, but delighted. Crimson lines also began to appear on his body, a shimmering like lava.
Raising his battle axe, he charged directly at Pororo.
Pororo was quickly at a disadvantage.
At that moment, the destroyed city defense machinery around him began to shake, then transformed into a strange weapon. It suddenly flew over and crashed into Pororo.
It then latched onto his shoulder, transforming into a strange structure.
It absorbed Pororo's lightning and transformed into a structure resembling an electric cannon, focusing and firing bolts of lightning energy, instantly striking the demon before it.
The demon, so focused on its battle with Pororo, was somewhat overwhelmed by the sudden attack, which Pororo couldn't control.
The demon could predict Pororo's movements and combat, easily countering them. Combined with its own immense power, it easily overwhelmed Pororo, rendering a fight impossible.
And now, Pororo suddenly began to experience mechanical energy attacks beyond his control, controlled by an unknown bystander, which began to harass the demon.
At least this allowed Pororo to engage in a back-and-forth battle, and by coordinating with the machinery, he began to recover his disadvantage, at least not being constantly suppressed.
"Thank you," Pororo said.
The source of this power was self-evident: naturally, Simon.
Suddenly, a circle of worm-like maws appeared around the two of them.
The one emerging from the maw was naturally the Devourer. The moment he emerged, he glanced at the nearby Demon Lord and vanished in an instant.
Alka's figure flashed by, following the mirror.
It was clear that the Devourer was also beginning to lose ground, fleeing across the battlefield, trying to influence Alka.
Alka, chasing, sensed the battle nearby.
He stretched out his hand and launched an attack, sending the nearby Demon Lord flying.
Then he vanished.
"It seems your defense is having a tough time. Why don't you stay and help them?" the Devourer asked, dodging.
After their swift traverse of the entire defensive line, both of them had a clear view of the current situation.
The defenders were at a disadvantage.
More of the city's defense equipment had lost power and ammunition, becoming useless.
The fighting along the entire front was incredibly fierce.
It felt as if the front was on the verge of collapse.
"Everyone has their own mission, and my mission now is to make you disappear," Alka said.
He imprisoned the space around the Devourer, then closed the gap between himself and the Devourer, instantly appearing beside him.
The translucent energy blade, formed from the combined elements in his hand, instantly pierced through the Devourer's body.
It was unknown what technique the Devourer had used to escape the spatial confinement and appear in the distance.
However, the enlarged wound on his stomach hadn't disappeared. The elemental power was wreaking havoc, preventing the wound from healing.
"What technique did you just use?" the Devourer asked Alka, looking at him with some confusion.
He felt he knew Alka well, after all, they had been targeting each other for so long.
Yet, even in this situation, he couldn't discern the precise technique Alka had used to suddenly appear beside him.
It wasn't some kind of teleportation technique, nor was it some speed-boosting technique. Alka had simply appeared beside him in an instant, a truly bizarre sight.
It was as if she had simply walked over to him naturally.
"Is that so?"
The voice came from right beside him. The Devouring Mouth's eyes widened as Alka had appeared next to him again using the same method.
There was no energy fluctuation at all, and he had no idea how to detect or respond.
The energy blade swung.
This powerful blade was nearly unstoppable, instantly slicing through the various shields he had constructed around him.
It also left a long wound on his body.
The energy blade, composed of mixed elements, was almost Alka's favorite weapon.
The chaos created by the mixed elements can not only destroy most physical defenses but also easily penetrate shields composed of chaotic energy, inflicting powerful penetrating damage to anyone.
Throwing it out can also cause the chaotic mixed elements to explode in an unstoppable manner.
The Devourer dodged again.
But this time, he no longer stayed in one place, but constantly shifted his position.
As he moved, Alka could still observe his frown.
It was clear that Alka's recent technique had shocked the Devourer.
"Are you trying to understand the true origin of my power? It's not easy. You may need to think about it carefully."
Honestly, if it weren't for concealment...
Alka would have shocked the Devourer before him.
The enemies who now clearly knew of his thieving abilities were the traitorous gods.
As for whether they shared their abilities with the demons while collaborating with them, one only needed to observe how the demons reacted when they targeted them.
Arka's eyes, perceiving secrets, could easily see through his own secrets. Who knew?
He didn't even need to look to detect them.
Clearly, as Arka had previously suspected, both the demons and the gods, while collaborating, were eager to see the other side suffer heavy casualties.
So, even if the gods knew of his ability to steal, they didn't fully understand it, and they had absolutely no intention of sharing it with the demons.
Demons rarely encountered such strange abilities.
So, the Devouring Mouth was now slightly bewildered.
"Did the distance between us disappear in that instant? It wasn't shortened, nor did you suddenly cross it, but it disappeared."
The Devouring Mouth spoke, and this was his conclusion from that brief moment.
Arka smiled and moved. This time, the Devourer didn't stay where he was. Its frequently used insect mouth appeared from beneath him, devouring him.
Watching the Devourer's mouth disappear once again, Alka's body suddenly began to retreat.
A careful calculation revealed that the distance he retreated was exactly the sum of the distance he had just stolen.
This was simply him returning the distance he had stolen, because he had stolen his own distance.
So, as he returned the distance he had stolen, he inexplicably retreated.
After retreating, the same circular mirror appeared beneath his feet. He vanished from the spot and swiftly pursued the Devourer's mouth.
…
The chase unfolded across the battlefield.
After each long-distance teleportation, Alka inflicted severe damage to the surrounding demons, and then continued his pursuit of the Devourer's mouth.
This also made Alka realize that every place was indeed difficult.
Each demon lord was too powerful. They simply didn't have enough men to handle the situation.
But fortunately, night was approaching.
Once night fell, the demons' strength would be weakened, even the demon lords.
As long as they could hold out through the day, they would have secured their position.
Clearly, the defending soldiers and generals were well aware of this.
Matlisa left the field hospital in the rear.
She appeared on the battlefield.
She began rapidly providing first aid to the wounded, selecting only those with strong abilities.
Such as the Holy Blade Maiden and beings of Grayfar's caliber.
Most people would have difficulty treating them.
And healers of their caliber were few and far between. Besides Matlisa, the only other healer of the same caliber on the battlefield was Kimberly, the Life Master of the Seed of Life.
Matlisa arrived at the front lines, and the intense fighting eased.
"Matisa!"
Pororo's voice suddenly rang out.
Matisa looked over.
Pororo was in a horrible state, covered in wounds, but the demon he was fighting wasn't much better off either.
He was covered in wounds.
"Unleash my potential!"
Hearing this, Matlisa understood what he meant. After observing the situation, she immediately activated Pororo's potential.
Selective stimulation
The explosion instantly increased Pororo's strength and speed.
Instantly, he suppressed the demon before him for a short period of time.
The demon was beaten back step by step.
This was the first demon lord on the battlefield to be suppressed.
Even the fleeing Devourer wasn't as miserable as him.
All the demon lords seemed to have noticed this scene.
"Why didn't you run away?"
Alka said, looking at the Devourer.
After running for a long time, the Devourer stopped again.
"Because I've accumulated enough strength."
As the Devourer spoke, energy suddenly erupted from his body, and he began to charge directly at Alka.
Seeing this, Alka drew his energy blade.
Seizing the moment the Devourer rushed towards him, he pierced the Devourer's heart directly.
"Are you seeking death?"
"No, I'll take you with me."
The devouring mouth piercing through the heart and chest spoke as a multitude of giant worm maws emerged from the surrounding area, swallowing both of them simultaneously.
