Capítulo 136: Carl's Confrontation with the Demon and the Team's Struggle Against the Cultist Frenzy
Meanwhile, Carl continued his intense battle with the demon. Their clashes echoed through the chamber, the sheer force of their blows creating shockwaves that added to the chaos. Despite Carl's enhanced devil powers, the demon proved to be a formidable adversary, adapting its strategy and attacks to counter every move Carl made.
As the team fought against the empowered cultists, Isabella utilized her frost powers to create barriers, slowing down the frenzied onslaught. Blorg's sword danced with precision, deflecting attacks and incapacitating cultists with swift strikes. Rex, encased in his mechanical suit, unleashed a barrage of projectiles and laser beams to thin the ranks of the cultists.
Nacht, realizing the urgency of the situation, altered his approach. Instead of engaging the black-eyed cultist head-on, he focused on disrupting the dark energy that fueled the cultists' enhanced abilities. Red shadows swirled around him as he intensified his reality manipulation, creating distortions that disrupted the connection between the cultists and the dark energy.
The demon, locked in combat with Carl, felt the shift in the energy around them. Its attention wavered for a moment, and Carl seized the opportunity. With a burst of devilish energy, Carl pushed the demon back, creating enough distance to observe the unfolding chaos.
The black-eyed cultist, sensing Nacht's interference, turned his attention toward him. The cultist's malevolent gaze bore into Nacht's soul, but Nacht, determined and focused, continued manipulating reality to weaken the dark energy's influence.
Isabella, having temporarily secured their immediate surroundings, joined Nacht in his efforts. She summoned a powerful gust of icy wind, aiming to freeze the dark energy and disrupt the cultists' enhanced state. The clash between Isabella's frost and the dark energy created an ethereal battlefield, the very air itself becoming a battleground for opposing elemental forces.
Blorg, noticing the struggle, leaped into action. Utilizing his levitation boots, he soared above the chaos, targeting the black-eyed cultist with precision strikes. His sword, infused with the power of advanced technology, clashed with the cultist's black spear.
Rex, from the safety of his mechanical suit, coordinated the team's efforts. His drones provided crucial surveillance, identifying weak points in the cultists' formation. He fired projectiles and unleashed bursts of energy to support Isabella, Nacht, and Blorg.
They knew that all they had before the cultists were able to get close to them and start attacking them again was a couple of seconds.
They had to use the most of those couple of seconds and deal as much damage to the head cultist before being forced to battle the remaining cultists again.
The dark energy of the cultist was holding Isabella's frost back, but slowly, its power was waning and Isabella's icy wind was pushing it back.
The cultist groaned in frustration as he knew he couldn't allow them to continue like this, otherwise, he would lose.
He suddenly exploded with more power and pushed Blorg back before dodging several laser beams from Rex. He tapped the ground again with his spear, and the cultists that were being held back suddenly roared as black flames appeared on their bodies.
[ Demon Frenzy ]
This was a skill that allowed the head cultist to use all the demonic energy present in the other cultists and make them go into a berserk state. The power of the cultists would increase immensely, but it would only last a short time.
The short time was not the only problem as the flames were eating away at the bodies and souls of the cultists, and when it ended, nothing but ashes would be left of them, not even their souls would be spared.
It was a last-ditch effort from the head cultist to push the enemy back and deal with them. Even though he hated to admit it, the cultist was constantly losing power thanks to what Nacht was doing, and if things continued this way, he would definitely be defeated.
With the remaining cultists now in a frenzy, they were attacking without a care in the world. The ice barriers that Isabella created started melting and cracking as the cultists attacked with their newfound power, and soon, they started breaking through them, causing her to abandon attacking the head cultist and charge at them.
"You sure you don't want to help your friends?" The demon asked as he blocked a punch from Carl who scoffed at him.
"Trust me, my team is capable enough of getting through that without any help, I would be worrying about yourself instead of them." Carl then headbutted the demon, grazing his forehead on his horns.
The demon's head cocked back from the blow as his nose was almost broken, and then Carl started attacking him wildly.
He used his claws to rip his flesh that was constantly regenerating and burned him with hellfire, to which the demon responded by utilizing his own demonic flames which were purple in color.
[ Carl, slow down a bit, you're starting to lose control. ]
The system's voice rung in Carl's head, but he was currently not in a position to really care as he knew that although his team was truly powerful, their current situation was not all that good.
The frenzied cultists overwhelmed Isabella's icy defenses, forcing her to engage in close combat. Blorg, still airborne, faced the empowered cultists with swift strikes and advanced maneuvers. Rex, inside his mechanical suit, redirected his drones to provide support to Isabella and Blorg, firing bursts of energy to thin the cultists' ranks while he continued attacking the head cultist and supporting Nacht.
Nacht, under relentless assault from the black-eyed cultist, intensified his reality manipulation. Red shadows danced around him as he created distortions to disrupt the connection between the cultists and the dark energy. Isabella, recognizing Nacht's efforts, poured more power into her frost attacks doing her best to push the cultists back, but it was difficult as they were no longer the same as before.
Meanwhile, Carl's battle with the demon reached a critical point. The demon, regenerating rapidly, countered Carl's onslaught with its own demonic flames. The clash of hellfire and demonic energy created an explosive spectacle, with both combatants locked in a fierce struggle for dominance.
[ Carl, you need to calm down! ]
The system's urgent voice echoed in Carl's mind, a reminder of the increasing influence his devil powers had over him. Ignoring the warning, Carl continued his assault, the chaotic energy around him reflecting the inner turmoil he faced.
As Isabella, Blorg, and Rex fought against the frenzied cultists, Nacht managed to expend some power to help them, stopping the cultists for an instant. Seizing the opportunity, Isabella summoned a massive ice construct—a golem crafted from her frosty powers. The golem, towering over the cultists, unleashed a devastating frost wave that froze them in their tracks.
Blorg, seeing the opening created by Isabella's golem, descended with a swift aerial assault. His sword, charged with advanced technology, cut through the frozen cultists, shattering them into pieces. Rex's drones focused their firepower on the remaining cultists, clearing a path for the team to regroup.
However, the head cultist, undeterred by the losses, continued to channel the demonic energy, his black eyes glowing with malevolence. Nacht, having momentarily repelled the dark energy, shifted his focus to disrupting the head cultist directly.
As the chaos unfolded, Carl and the demon's battle reached a pivotal moment. The demon, realizing that the prolonged fight was not in its favor, initiated a desperate gambit. It summoned a surge of demonic energy, creating a shockwave that pushed Carl back.
"Time to end this, devil!" The demon declared, gathering its remaining power for a final, devastating attack. The air crackled with ominous energy as the demon prepared to unleash its most potent ability.
[ Carl, brace yourself! This is going to be powerful. ]
The system's warning reached Carl, but it was too late to evade. The demon unleashed a torrent of demonic flames, a spiraling inferno that engulfed most of the chamber. The intensity of the flames threatened to overwhelm even Carl's devil powers.
In the midst of the inferno, Carl, with his devil arms ablaze, focused on channeling his power. The demonic flames clashed with his hellfire, creating a volatile spectacle. The team, having dealt with the cultists, watched in awe and concern as the battle between devil and demon reached its climax.
The demon's attack, fueled by its fury and dark energy, strained Carl's defenses. The demonic flames threatened to consume him, but Carl, drawing upon the strength of his devil powers, pushed back. The clash between devil and demon created shockwaves that reverberated through the chamber.
Nacht, seeing the dire situation, refocused his reality manipulation. He created a distortion that weakened the demon's connection to its demonic energy source, disrupting its concentration. The demon roared in frustration as its attack faltered, giving Carl the opening he needed.
With a burst of hellfire, Carl surged forward, closing the distance between him and the weakened demon. His devil arms, glowing with intense heat, connected with the demon's form. The demonic energy that once fueled the demon now clashed with the devil's power.
[ Carl, finish it now! ]
The system's voice, urgent and resolute, spurred Carl into action. With a final surge of devilish energy, Carl unleashed a concentrated blast of hellfire. The flames enveloped the demon, burning away its form until all that remained was a dissipating shadow.
As the demonic flames subsided, the chamber fell into an eerie silence. Carl, breathing heavily, stood amidst the fading embers. The demon, once a formidable adversary, was no more.
