1941 Chapter 1941. A Coordinated Assault

Belgphegor's other ice chain flew at Red Death. Red Death didn't let herself get caught a second time. She slapped the ice chain and flew away.

Nameless and the high demon lord joined Grace in close combat. Red Death sneaked around in their shadows, looking for an opportunity to strike. Under Seraphic Possession and Devilize, Grace could go toe-to-toe with Belphegor. Nameless and Red Death had an easier time fighting Belphegor due to that. All the while, Badass sent ranged attacks from a distance.

The battle continued. Belphegor's IIP continued to fall. After some time, the effect of Angelic Penalize was over. Belphegor could use his skills again. His hand turned into an ice claw, Grace and Nameless were ready. They retreated.

During the battle, Belphegor had used the Ice Death several times. Grace and Red Death's martial expertise made them a hard target for this melee attack. Nameless had been struck once by this deadly skill, Luckily, he had the Rebirth skill, After that one time, he paid attention to the cooldown of Ice Death, which was three hours. Whenever three hours passed after the last time Belphegor used lee Death, he and the others became extra vigilant.

The High Demon Lord wasn't as vigilant as them. Badass commanded it to retreat, but it wasn't fast enough. Belphegor's ice claw caught it. It was frozen into an ice block before getting shattered. Its HP went straight to zero.

They didn't have time to mourn the loss. Grace and Nameless advanced again, but Belphegor jumped high into the sky to dodge their attacks. When they were about to fly up to chase, they saw a huge iceberg falling at them.

"Get behind me!

" Nameless yelled. He activated God's Shield and Heaven's Shield back-to-back.

The falling iceberg crashed into the majestic shield image. The shield didn't last long. It persisted for two seconds before cracks started spreading. The shield shattered but successfully stopped the iceberg, which exploded from the counterforce. The wind from the explosion sent Nameless flying away. Ilis IIP also went down a great deal.

Red Death didn't let Nameless effort go to waste. She used Death Deliverer and teleported behind Belphegor, who was visible again after the iceberg was destroyed. Belphegor's HP was below twenty percent by then. Red Death believed she could take down the devil before long.

Ilowever, when her dagger struck Belphegor's body, she didn't feel the normal sensation like when she stabbed something. Instead, her stab produced a clanging sound as if her dagger had struck a hard metal.

It might as well have. Belphegor's skin had undergone a transformation. It was as hard as metal and was sparkling. What Belphegor used was the Diamond Body. While they had seen this skill before, it was on another level when it was Belphegor who used it. Additionally, runic symbols covered the devil's sparkling skin. His body was as if covered with 3D tattoos.

Red Death's Death Deliverer produced damage of only two digits when her dagger hit this hardened skin.

"Hehe,

" Belphegor grinned widely.

"Unfortunately, you won't be able to take me down before my minions arrive.

"

They turned to the armies after hearing Belphegor's remark. The Sangrod Army was continuously pushed by the enemies who outnumbered them. The army could no longer block everyone. Some demons broke through, and these demons were heading their way. They gritted their teeth. They were so close. If those demons arrived, the situation would become more complicated. Not to mention, some of those demons probably possessed healing spells.

"I will stop them! Defeat Belphegor as soon as possible!

" Badass exclaimed.

He went to intercept the incoming demons while casting Hell's Minion, The group of demons he summoned formed a wall to stop the incoming demons. Badass cast another spell, Hell Furnace. Great fire roasted the incoming demons. If they persisted in advancing, they had to sacrifice their HP. Badass could sustain the Hell Furnace for as long as he still had MP to spare. Ile brought out a Greater Energy Potion and drank it while he continued to pump MP into his IIell Furnace.

Nameless, who was low on health, flew back toward Belphegor. They were in a rush. They couldn't afford to play it safe. Grace cast Ilealing Domain, which had just gone off cooldown, and she also advanced. Red Death never stopped assaulting Belphegor since using the Death Deliverer.

The three continued to land attacks. However, none of those attacks produced meaningful damage. Their strongest attacks produced two-digit damage, while their normal attacks scored only one-digit damage. Belphegor's runic-enhanced diamond body made him virtually invincible.

The three felt helpless. Belphegor, on the other hand, could focus on offense. His ice chains slapped left and right, hitting the three. If not for Grace's Healing Domain, they wouldn't have survived. The two sides continued to dish out damage without falling into mortal danger.

Belphegor continued to grin. Even though the battle seemed to be in a stalemate, he had the advantage of the situation. He was not pressed on time. He could take all the time in the world. The three outworlders, on the other hand, had no such luxury. They could hear the battle closing in from behind. They didn't have much time!

While they were getting anxious, Belphegor suddenly jumped back. His sudden retreat put a good distance between him and the three outworlders. His two hands then clasped together.

"Let's see if you can heal fast enough from this!

" An icy energy ball formed in his two hands. This energy ball grew at a fast rate.

"It is his Super Ice Ki Blast!!

" Nameless exclaimed. This skill had killed him before. He

shuddered when he remembered it again.

"Get behind me! It was Grace's turn to utter this statement

Nameless and Red Death didn't object. They let Grace move to their front.

"Brave! But pointless,

" Belphegor mocked.

"You will all perish!

"

Belphegor released the energy ball in his hands. The ball rushed forward at blinding speed. Grace put her palm forward, Dark energy swirled in that hand. When the huge ice ball

collided with her palm, the ball didn't explode like the last time.

"Huh...,

" Belphegor observed the unnatural occurrence. The outworlder was again using that non-skill move she used to stop his Infernal Ice Breath.

Belphegor grinned.

"If you think this one is at the same level as my breath attack, you have another thing coming

"

Grace understood what Belphegor meant the instant her Nine Yin Devouring Palm touched the ice ball. Her ancient art halted the ball's detonation process as she tried to absorb the energy. However, the energy was too vast. Even with her mastery of the Nine Yin Devouring Palm, it would take all her effort to process such powerful energy. At best, she would become so tired that she couldn't move anymore. At worst, she failed to convert the destructive energy and received fatal damage. Both outcomes spelled her defeat. Luckily, one of her skills just came off cooldown, the Disciplinary Fortitude. With this skill, she didn't need to worry about the destructive ice energy harming her. The skill made her immune to all elemental damage. So, she focused only on absorbing the ice ball without bothering to convert its destructive energy.

Belphegor's grin slowly disappeared when he noticed his ice ball gradually shrunk in Grace's hand. He stared in disbelief as the shrinking picked up in pace. The ice ball was completely absorbed by Grace without detonating.

"Hmph!

" Belphegor threw his ice chains at Grace.

"Not so fast!

" Nameless came forward and blocked the ice chains using his shield. He received damage and was thrown back. His lost HP was quickly refilled by Grace's Healing

Domain.

"Hey!

"

Grace heard a call and turned to Red Death. She saw that Red Death was in Devilize form. The two exchanged brief eye contact, and they knew what to do. They didn't even exchange any messages. The two flew like a thrown spear toward Belphegor. Belphegor snickered. He was protected by the Diamond Body. He did not worry about any attack. He pulled his ice chains back, ready to strike back after the two carried out their

attacks.

Red Death's body started spinning as she advanced, Grace thrust her fingers forward. The image of two giant drills was conjured. One was crimson. The other was black. The two ladies combined their ancient arts with game skills. Grace executed Nine Yin Abyssal Finger while activating Judgment Strike, Red Death executed Maximum Carnage

while using Assassinate Soul.

Belphegor was confident of his defense. However, when the two drills drew near, he sensed the danger. He was about to move away, but a black light shot out beside him. He recognized this move. Ile had been hit by this black light before. Ile was hit again now. The emergence of the black light had been so fast it didn't give him much time to react after

sensing it.

Grace's Nine Yin Phantom Sword successfully interrupted Belphegor's attempt at dodging. The time it bought allowed Red Death and Grace to land their attacks. Their coordinated assault drilled into Belphegor's shiny diamond body.
