Chapter 217 - Ruthlessly Shameless
-----
"UNNNGRRAAAGGH…!"
Beelzebub was being held back by a sea of blood and crimson phantoms, countless Blood Soul Servants made from the corpses and souls of all his fallen army members, all of them merging together monstrously as they entangled his body and sacrificed themselves to not let their former master go!
"Unnggh…! You damn schemer! Fight me like a man!" roared Beelzebub, although Noah and everyone at his side glanced at him with contempt, readying Magic Spells.
"At the end, what really matters is winning, Beelzebub, not how you achieve it!" laughed Noah, his twisted pride as a Vampire was not like many other beings, as he held pride in acting treacherously to achieve victory, and took more pride into achieving victory rather than how he achieved it.
Anything would do, and being a scumbag was not out of the question.
Playing with the feelings of Beelzebub as he forced him to fight his former allies, which finally managed him to get a head-start by letting him lower his guard, and then almost decimating him with all he had, these were normal things which he, as a Malicious Vampire, took pride on.
And now that he got to know that Beelzebub transformation had a time limit, he decided to stall for time while entrapping him in what he called as a "Blood Sea Legion", a technique he employed by temporarily fusing all the Blood Servants within his possession, generating an enormous mass of blood and red phantom which could regenerate constantly and pretty much trap anything it could take ahold of.
It was way more effective than blood prison, as blood prison could be easily broken and had a cooldown, while this thing could regenerate constantly and adapt to the body of what was trying to entrap.
"GRAAH! GRROAARR…!"
Beelzebub roared monstrously as he unleashed all the power he had, blasting away large pieces of the Blood Sea Legion constantly!
However, the strongest blood Soul Servants that Noah had were also within this mass of blood servants, which employed their superior strength, fusing it together to slash, pierce, and bite him!
The dozens of heads of Pride constantly tried to tear down Beelzebub\'s body, while also firing crimson breath that burnt through his flesh, which was regenerating constantly through the regeneration capabilities that the Pseudo-Archdemon transformation granted.
Aside from them, there was also Greed which shaped the blood servants as sharp crystal spears and blades coated in elements, piercing, and tearing down Beelzebub alongside Pride.
Beelzebub\'s soul grew larger and angered as time went by, becoming a monstrous demonic specter that fought against the Blood Sea Legion with everything it had!
However, Noah and company wouldn\'t stand there watching, they had already readied their Magic Spells, countless projectiles made of genuine magic no generated from the system began to fall over Beelzebub, from shadow spears, black thunderbolts, blades of ice, sealing curse bullets, poisonous rays, black spears, and more!
CLASH! CLASH CLASH!
Noah constantly received the Mana of Jon as the young Dhampir continuously drank Elixirs and Mana Potions which they had a large pile of, while also draining whatever he could muster from Beelzebub, although he seemed to be fairly resistant to draining attacks.
As Noah was being constantly poured with Mana, he continuously kept the Blood Sea Legion regenerating, checkmating Beelzebub into being forced into a situation where he could not do anything to fight back nor escape!
And as this happened, all of these non-system spells fell over him, constantly damaging him!
And if that were not enough, Excalibur was constantly piercing his body and crushing him into the ground! This was way too much of a one-sided battle!
The prideful demon roared in frustration, all of what he had built up until this moment was completely useless!
His frustration resonated through the entire wasteland, as his soul roared monstrously, suddenly exploding!
BOOOM!
"Oh?"
The Blood Sea Legion exploded as well, being torn apart, and splattered everywhere, finally freeing Beelzebub!
Excalibur flashed towards Beelzebub, but he suddenly flew directly towards Noah while unleashing his Spectral Soul in all of its splendor, resembling another demon of its own floating above Beelzebub, roaring at him as it conjured gigantic spears of shadows!
Noah smiled, however, as he already had weakened the demon enough!
He quickly activated the Blood Scion and Blood Beast Transformation Skills, transforming into a gigantic demonic fiend of a similar size and intimidating appearance to Beelzebub, but he possessed large bat-like wings and pale-white skin, although his entire body was incredibly muscular to the point of being grotesque!
CLASH!
Noah unleashed his Blood Soul Beast, as gigantic crimson tentacles emerged from his body like an aura, attacking the spectral soul of Beelzebub and throwing the demon into the ground with a strong punch!
CLASH!
The punch hit Beelzebub right into his nose, breaking it and leaving his entire face swelled up and bloody!
BOOM!
The large body of Beelzebub fell into the ground, leaving a large crater, as Noah flew towards him while wielding Excalibur, and charging power into it!
FLASH!
"EXCALIBUR!"
A gigantic beam of darkness and crimson light came from the blade as Noah slashed with all the power of his transformation, crushing Beelzebub into the ground even more!
BOOOOOM!!!
"UNNNNGGRRRUUOOOOOHHH…!"
Beelzebub roared in anger and monstrous fierceness, as he unleashed all of his spectral soul, shadows, and blood powers, showering Noah with projectiles of all these elements while resisting as much as he could!
However, Iris and company wouldn\'t stand by and watch, they began to quickly shower Beelzebub with their magic as well, interrupting his concentration into targeting Noah, as Noah took this opportunity to fly down towards him and crush his face with his foot!
CRASH!
"UNNGRRYAAGH…!"
Beelzebub vomited blood as a bit of skull cracked, and Noah raised Excalibur again, stabbing Beelzebub\'s head with it multiple times ruthlessly!
"It is over, Beelzebub!" he said, crushing and slicing his skull into pieces!
"Y-Youuu… Bastard…! GRRAAGGHGGAAGGHH…!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
SPLAT!
Beelzebub\'s head exploded into pieces, splattering all over the place, as he went back to his normal form… well, his corpse.
Noah did so as well, as he sat down over the corpse while sighing in relief.
A pile of Cores and Dropped Items emerged out of thin air afterward, as Noah smiled and then said the magic words.
"Rise…"
