A few words floated above Aresya's quiet book. Turning upwards was like a spiral tower that could move on its own. A black light appeared in the middle of it like a dark pillar of light.

Her lips moved again smoothly and quickly. His right hand was ready to drop at any time. Then in one last recitation a word passed slowly.

"Gaea Spear!!"

A black spear that emitted black flames appeared suddenly. Darted quickly at the beaked monster. When the black spear slid the entire place it had passed into ashes.

The walls whimper and the plants wither. The wind split into two parts.

"Gaea Spear was an heirloom spear from an ancient kingdom, it was a death message intended for their arch-enemies who opposed it. I hope you enjoyed it ...."

Aresya closed her eyes. Just as he opened his eyes again, a flash of light burst into a bunch of souls asking to be saved. The beaked monster is now in between.

It was thrashing in pain. Because not only was it hit by an explosion even the souls were now crawling on his body while tearing his flesh apart. They were like one human skeleton that was skinned alive.

Without skin or internal organs. Only the bones and muscle fibers pull. After the blast of darkness light was over, a Rosary came out from the ground upside down. His left part was broken leaving behind a stone that looked like a spear.

The bottom of the tip that was now above hollowed out the flesh of the beaked monster alive. Penetrating his stomach until spurting blood that does not stop. He groaned in pain while trying to remove the Rosary's prick.

Aresya did not stop there. This time he closed the book, making it a wooden stick with a crystal top that was flowed by the light of darkness. He lifted it several times and pushed it to the side.

A circle appeared in front of him. Large enough with circular runes. The sound of lightning screams resounded fiercely, clad in blazing white flames. After that he hit him with a stick that he held firmly.

The Runic Circle exploded, throwing an extremely incredible magic attack with a flash. As long as the beaked monster was stuck in the ceiling. Now the combination of black lightning magic and white fire assaulted him all of a sudden.

Burning and snatching it violently, unforgiving in the least. The sound of thunder echoed in the ceiling several times, as the flames danced with excitement on the beaked monster's body tirelessly.

Every second it torments and turns him crazy. He screamed and screamed in pain. But in an instant as he tried to grab the sky with his big hand.

Now on it were thousands of ice swords appearing in an instant. Shiny, letting out a chill that was ready to snatch at him at any moment. Aresya's arm began to rise again with the index finger of her right hand held out.

He lowered it slowly, then pulled it back up quickly. In his command this time, he smashed those ice swords into minuscule pieces of ice like particles.

When the splinter fell and enveloped the warty beaked monster with the coldness of a very small ice grain. Aresya said again ...

"Frozen Nova!!" he murmured softly with a thin, cold aura coming out around him.

Then the snowflakes gushed like geysers. Crashing the monster from below violently, freezing it and slashing the outer skin freely. After that he turned into an ice pillar that was high up into the sky.

Together with the Rosary still stuck in her stomach, both her eyes and wings turned into small fragments. While the beak is gaping, showing how the tongue and small teeth pointy into ice frozen.

Elsewhere Oz, who helps Shiren's group, Kyle, Rena, Satella and Erina, is facing an extraordinary high-level demon. The aura he emanated made Oz start to keep watch.

Moreover, with a giant horn and crystal in the middle of it makes him wonder. Was that crystal his weak point?

The demon directly lunged at Oz , his large, heavy arm successfully throwing his opponent several tens of meters back. Even though he had resisted the attack, but the impact may be very extraordinary if it was hit hard.

Oz was impressed that there was a demon that was as strong and tough as this. Maybe he will take it very seriously.

"Enough to get here" he murmured softly.

The sword in his right hand was pointed towards the demon, while the sword held by his left hand was reversed. The sword turned back with the tip of the blade that was behind his body.

He lowered his body slowly. In just one tap of a step his figure disappeared in an instant.

"Disappeared?!" chirping Shiren was surprised.

"Not .. instead of disappearing, but it's too fast to be seen with the naked eye" said the exhausted Rena.

Shiren could only nod slowly as the sign would understand.

The devil is looking for the existence of Oz who suddenly disappeared from his supervision. As he started squinting his eyes, the figure of his opponent was suddenly right before him without a breath of existence. He clenched his hand and hit Oz.

But what he hit was not Oz but just a fleeting shadow of Oz's speed. A subtle touch resuscitated him then as soon as he realized a sharp object penetrated his huge body.

"Check Mate, ... Wandering Touch" Oz said in a cold tone.

Blood spurted out of his large body, his eyes began to whiten and his balance broke. He almost fell with that powerful attack.

"I didn't just stab you in the back, just look ahead, what you see" he said flatly.

Buildings, streets, properties and even flowers are split into small pieces. It exploded and then floated a few centimeters above the ground and finally fell back.

When the devil felt his chest and stomach slowly. He gasped, knowing that now in his stomach and chest it had been slashed repeatedly. Even though it was like that, he was completely unaware of it.

Drops of blood fell, followed by a spray of blood that burst out of his front body. In the end he was drowned, falling with his head facing the ground.

Oz pulled out his sword from the demon's back. In that pull, again blood came out and smeared his face like his. Makes him look like a sadist.

Either his attitude or his way of acting symbolizes an elegant and cautious person, but full of sadism and soullessness.

While the look of his face and the firmness of his eyebrows resembles an executor who knows no mercy at all. He shook his sword to remove the bloodstains on his sword.

After he finished, Oz again drew his sword. Chopped the monster away with a cold look.

The blood spewed back, while the demon screeched. Screaming in pain, tears spilled from both eyes. But not clear but dark red. Did he have a heart before?

But where possible if he had the heart, he could not have attacked Shiren, Rena and the others brutally. Or is it being controlled by something?

Oz could only sigh, after which sheathed back his sword deeply without hesitation.

 This fight is over, if you still have a life or a feeling you should just give up. I don't like it if I have to torture you any further!" Huey said in a sarcasm.

The demon screamed, Oz turned around quickly. Taking out a sword as soft as the wind blows. The ground trembled in an instant, the surrounding buildings vanished into dust fragments.

The crystal between the two horns broke. Take out two large tendrils that devour the demon in one meal. Oz takes a few steps back to secure Shiren and the others if suddenly

there was a terrible attack.

The devil shone dark, flesh scattered around below him.Then the two tendrils that had grown bigger were broken. He showed a new demon that was very different from the one before.

This time he was like a human if equated with the proportions of his body. He was like a man, his whole body was black with yellow stripes. A pair of horns in front of his feet he took.

But Oz is undaunted, he takes his breath away without further ado.

"So you want a second round?" annoyed.

Rena and Shiren were again surprised to see the demon change.

The demon came back to Oz and at the same time the cold man lunged at the demon with an annoyed look. They slashed at each other several slashes that ended in a reflection sound and a few faint small sparks of fire to look at.

Back with the swords clashing against each other. The demon did not show a clear expression. Both of his eyes were dark red with his nose covered by an ash membrane. His mouth was tightly closed, or rather like in sewing so that it could not be opened.

As for Oz, he puts on a flat face without caring about change, power, or anything related to the devil. His head was currently only focused on completing the mission Kuro had given him and returning to his side.

Satella who was behind them was treating Erina and Kyle at once. His face started to get tired as the mana he used seemed to be running out. Moreover, previously he cast a large-scale supporting magic that drained approximately half of his mana supply.

And after a while he lay in sweat. His body had run out of mana while he himself was like he had not given up at all. He continued his healing magic.

Back with a fierce fight between top-tier demons and Oz. They look balanced, but in some parts of Oz's face there are thin streaks that bleed. The devil is not yet

getting wounds on his body at all.

Oz streaked by slashing through the air in front of him, causing a wind distortion to burst forth and unleashing dozens of sharp crescent waves.

Those sickle waves darting out directionlessly smashed into the demon tirelessly. The demon reflected and reversed the direction of the incisions of several sickle waves that shot towards him. While the rest hit the ground or buildings that are still intact.

Defeat them. After that Oz attacked him again quickly.

"Wit away..”.

His figure had quickly been in the presence of the demon with a low body position. The sound of iron friction sounded and in an instant the demon's body was crushed like a hard object that was very destructive.

On the other hand thanks to the blood that gushed profusely Oz's body was now drenched in blood. Seeing in this kind of chaos was more like an unforgiving vile assassin.

When he walked away left a real trail. Dark and dark too. The pieces of the Devil's body re-integrated and in an instant the surrounding debris gathered together to form a giant ball clump.

“Sucks... Bloody Shift,” Oz said slowly while turning the sword into the back and then shaking it.

His attack was like splitting a soft loaf of bread very slowly. So smooth and neat. From his slash was created a suction hole that drew all entities into it.

The devil was sucked and all the debris that formed on it fell. When his body was about to enter into that void space, he was still defending while trying to attack Oz.

"Hard-headed" Oz slapped the devil in the face with a kick of his foot.

After that he struck it very strongly with a black flame affix on his palm. As a result the devil was burned alive, raging violently devoured it greedily, and tirelessly.

“I hope this is the last.”

All the action ended with a neat vertical humusan, splitting the face of the devil into two parts, then burning it with black fire.

When a great shrill scream came from the demon, Oz just exhaled, then walked away from it.

“Dust...,” he said then clenched his hands tightly.

That dimensional slash shut down and instantly destroyed the demon. Take him

into a vacuum full of bloodthirsty energy pressure belongs to Oz.

“Is this how my job is done, young master?” muttered.

                                                                 ***

Right at the plaza close to the heart of the Kingdom, Kuro and Regin had finished their preparations. Meanwhile Selina and Irina protect them from the onslaught of black creatures as well as some demons.

Regin sighed, then took it out slowly. His eyes began to open wide and his eyebrows also slightly furrowed.

"Let's do this, brother," he said without hesitation.

Kuro only nodded slowly with a faint smile on his face.

They also began to bring the palms closer as the magic circuit continued to approach and collide with each other. Releasing a noise that sounded hollow.

"Star—"

The cluster of light balls soared upwards quickly and the magic circle below them lifted up along with a real floating sensation. As soon as the sky let out a swirling cloud vortex. They began to point their palms towards the middle of the kingdom.

“—RAID!!!”

After a few seconds, a light pillar came out of the magic circle. The pillar was so high that once it touched the sky, it exploded stripping off balls of light like a shooting star.

All became bright at the same time the sepia black sky was now normal. This magic is one of the ancient magic that is very effective against dark entities and will restore every life that holds on to

the light.

Not long after the star rain hit all the places in the kingdom, the black vapors appeared then disappeared in an instant.

After all, Kuro immediately fell to his knees, in contrast to Regin who was immediately sprawled. Seeing that Selina instantly recovered Kuro while Irina recovered Regin.

Far outside of Astarte Kingdom, Meist only grinned with a hateful gaze.

“You did it again, Reiss!”
