Chapter 1488 Powerful Demon

Chapter 1488 Powerful Demon

-----
Countless demons emerged from the jungles, each one unleashing a mighty Aura of Demonic Energy, infecting their surroundings.
The plants around them died one after another, leaving behind a path of destruction on their steps.
Not only did the Demonic Beasts possessed tremendous durability and destructive power, but they were also much intelligent than normal Divine Monsters.
"Stay away from that barrier! Gather a large group to destroy it from afar! Use magic!"
Whenever they noticed the crimson barrier erected by Ruby and the Vampires was beginning to unleash spear attacks, after a few casualties, they retreated and decided to attack it from a distance.
Several of them gathered into a large group, these were the ones that were the best at conjuring magic. There were both Demons, which were the most intelligent and humanoid-shaped ones, and then the Demonic Beasts, equivalent to monsters or half-beasts.
The incredible thing about Demons, aside from their outstanding durability, deadly blood, powerful energy, and destructive abilities was also… their incredible cooperation and devotion for their master.
No matter how different they were from one another, they worked as if they knew each other since birth, all for the sole purpose of serving their Master, Pandemonium.
This was, of course, part of Pandemonium's near omnipotent power above all Demons, an ability within his Unique Skill that granted him full governance over all inhabitants of Hell.
The Demons and Demonic Beasts started firing their long-ranged attacks, rains of fireballs started falling over the crimson barrier, slowly debilitating it.
"Bastards… I'll show you what I'm made of!"
Ruby gritted her teeth, showing her sharp fangs as she started imbuing the barrier with the power of &123;Endless Night&125; as well, alongside her related Divinities.
FLUOOOSH!
Suddenly, to the surprise of the Demons, the crimson barrier turned into a deep black color, with twisting crimson energy around it.
The barrier wasn't just reinforced, but it began to extend its shadows around the village, tentacles made of darkness wrapped around the Demons, temporarily paralyzing them as the shadows sapped away their lifeforce.
Even if they were otherworldly beings, they still possessed lifeforce!
"GROOARRR!"
Several Demonic Beasts were trying to free themselves; the more intelligent Demons were quickly beginning to use their techniques and abilities to break through.
The average Demon was over fifty meters tall, so even the smallest was a behemoth, their attacks alone could destroy even Ruby's Endless Night Manifestation!
However…
"Nicely done, Ruby!"
Yuki appeared out of nowhere, leaping into the skies, her claws overflowing with her Divinity as she smiled viciously back at her foes.
"Alright! Let's do this!"
Her Divine Armor and her Divine Claws, forged by Drake and reinforced recently, were overflowing with new power and the many abilities imbued into them.
"&123;Spirit Fusion&125;: &123;Eternal Frost Phoenix&125;!"
And even more now that she acquired a new contracted Divine Spirit Beast, the Frost Phoenix!
FLAAAASH!
She gained a hue pair of blue wings made of frost, half her body was covered on blue and white feathers, and her eyes turned into those of a bird.
Her legs, as well as her hands, turned into giant bird-like claws, covered on blue scales. To make things deadlier, she also had the tail of her draconic lineage from Drake, and even more scales!
And to top it all, an armor of frost feathers and dragon scales covered some parts of her body, her head in specific, gained a giant helmet in the shape of the Frost Phoenix Head.
"I love this feeling!"
Yuki had already made a contract with the Divine White Tiger Spirit after everyone awakened to their Spiritual power thanks to Drake some time ago.
Now, thanks to his abilities improving and Yuki becoming strong enough, he helped her create a new contract with another Spirt.
This time, to their surprise, a Frost Phoenix Spirit had appeared!
With her almighty new Spirit Powers fused with her Divine Powers, Yuki descended at a rampaging speed.
"RAAAH!"
Her legs and claws reached her foes, releasing enormous waves of frost everywhere, her strikes were very hard, and the restrained Demons were unable to evade.
CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!
Three attacks were enough to freeze five demons in a few seconds, and then…!
"&123;Frost Phoenix's Feather Storm&125;!"
Her feathers moved rapidly and released a storm of frost feathers, piercing her foes and crushing them. Their bodies slowly started to gain damage and began falling apart.
The Demons started dying one after another as Yuki also kicked them and slashed their half-frozen bodies!
"W-Who is that beast girl?! What is this power she's channeling?! Spirits?!"
Spirits as they are known today didn't exist in the times the Demons first appeared. They were ethereal, conceptual beings that made up the world's elements.
But thanks to the Venerable of Dreams and her Spirit Creation Unique Skill, she made them much more than that, hastening the evolution of spirits and making them become a hidden, yet mighty race of beings!
With the power of Divine Beast Spirits and her own growth, Yuki was able to defeat some of the weaker demons with ease.
"Hehehe! Come and get it! Who's next?!"
However, she was getting cocky, seconds before a giant figure jumped towards her. It was blue-skinned, with four enormous and muscular arms, four crimson eyes, and with a head decorated with golden horns.
"I will be your opponent, beast woman champion!"
"Wha…?!"
The Demon, who was only around fifty-five meters of height, leaped towards Yuki and hit her with all its might!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
"URGH?! AAARRRGH…!"
His four blue-skinned and muscular arms broke through her armor in a split of a second, her body was covered by several deadly wounds, and she was sent pummeling down into the ground.
BAAAAMMM!!!
"YUKI!"
Tisha and Pekora, who were nearby fending off Demons, ran towards her help, as Pekora summoned a small Tree Spirit, which sprouted a big red fruit, feeding it to her.
"Eat this!"
"Urgh… T-That monster… Who is he?!"
Yuki glared into the skies, the four-armed demon was still floating in midair, his legs overflowing with blue flames.
His eyes glared at her with disappointment…
"Huh? You can't even take a few hits?" He sighed. "As expected, this world's living beings are, as usual, too frail and weak."
TRUUUMM…!
His aura erupted with a tremendous power. An enormous pressure started suppressing every foe around him.
