Daniel didnât even give those two idiots a chance to attack him. He immediately activated Royal Barrier to block all their strikes.
He also activated Shadow Weapons, using them to pierce holes through both demonsâ bodies.
Before they had a chance to heal, Daniel canceled Royal Barrier and charged at them with his sword.
A Death-powered aura from the Tablet of Death enveloped his blade, and each strike radiated deadly strength.
The demons were terrified, but they couldnât retreat. They fought tooth and nail, trying to block his attacksâbut it was pointless.
With every slash, their bodies were sliced apart and splattered with bloodâbut they regenerated with terrifying speed.
That healing speed frustrated Daniel. He knew demons had incredibly strong regenerationâand with no Death aura, that wouldnât matter.
Still, each time they fought, these demons seemed to become more energetic and powerful. What in the world was going on?
He glanced at the unknown sand-covered demon. Could it be? An idea flickeredâbut he wasnât sure.
He had to test his hypothesis. But before that, he decided to torture these demons a bitâso that both the demon army and the Eternity Faith watchers could witness.
That would turn the tide of the war in their favor.
He raised his hand. Suddenly, a purple light shone across the entire sky, drawing everyoneâs attention to their location.
Daniel seized the moment and sliced both demons in half with a single swing.
He didnât give them time to heal. Immediately he created dozensâno, hundredsâof blades from his mana essence and Death energy, launching them into the demons.
Blood splattered everywhere. Their eyes exploded out, and their limbs were torn to pieces.
"Whatâs going on? How are our generals being butchered by a human?"
"Am I seeing this right? Our generals are being tortured by that human!"
"Haha, just as expected of our leader! Heâs stronger!"
"Kill them! Slaughter the demons and bring glory to the Eternity Faith!"
The humans were invigorated again and launched renewed attacks on the demons.
Daniel saw exactly what he wanted. A smile appeared on his face.
"You miserable human, donât overestimate yourself!" Baldazorâs eyes burned with rage and humiliation.
When was the last time heâd ever felt such shame? Never!
He was the Great Demon Baldazor. No human had the right to humiliate him like this.
"How foolish... hm? Looks like youâve kept something else hidden," Daniel said as he suddenly stepped back, sensing something.
"This is our only way! If we donât do this, we have no chance at victory!"
"Fine. Damn it," Daimon nodded and agreed.
Suddenly, both demonsâ bodies began to swell like balloons... and then... boom!
"Theyâre going to self-destruct?" Daniel scratched his head, but what he saw next shocked him.
Their blood began to merge togetherâand from it, a massive creature emerged.
A demon giant, at least five meters tall.
"Theyâve entered Super Demon form?" He didnât know whether to laugh or cry. Heâd never heard of demons having such abilities.
"Human, you should be proudâyou forced us to merge! Now itâs time for your destruction!" the giant demon boomed in a deep and terrifying voice.
"Why do I feel like Iâve heard this before?" Daniel murmured.
The giant swung a fist at him. The ground shook, and a massive crater openedâbut Daniel simply jumped and landed on the giantâs fist.
Without hesitation, he leapt again and drove his sword through the giantâs eye, blinding it.
But his assault didnât stop. Without giving them time to heal, he descended upon their arms and legs, slicing both giant demons to pieces.
Contrary to what these fools believed, their power didnât matter to him. Even if they became ten times stronger, they still couldnât match him.
His real problem had been their healing abilityâwhich had driven him crazy.
The giant demon fell to the ground. Daniel unleashed hundreds of rapid strikes, reducing its body to tiny particlesâso small it would take a long time for them to ever regenerate.
"Ridiculous..." He raised his hand and suddenly the sky turned bloody red.
> [ Eternal Judgment ]
The aura of Eternity filled everything. Now that he had comprehended the Law of Eternity, this skill had become far more powerful.
Was now not the best time to test it?
A sword of blood forged above his head, aimed at the unknown demon.
"Fak fak!" The sand-covered demon panicked. He hadnât expected the human to suddenly attack him.
Then he recalled the sand encasing himâa defensive Item.
A protective Item that could guard him against any attack.
Daniel didnât know about itâand even if he did, he wouldnât care. The Blood Sword swung at the demon, but it stopped as the sand blocked it.
"Hm? Is that so?" Daniel realized something, and redirected the Blood Sword toward the giant demon.
The sword struck the merged demonâs core with destructive and Eternity powerâand then...
Boom!
The explosion torn through its body completely, destroying the giant demon.
"How is this possible?" The remaining sand-covered demon watched in horror, convinced his mind was failing.
What attack was that? The explosionâs range wasnât huge, but the sword could utterly obliterate anything it pierced.
Whatever it wasâit had no chance against the Blood Sword.
> [ You have killed two mid-rank B Demons and... ]
Daniel closed the notification, confident both demons were dead, and ignored the rest.
He took a step and approached the sand-covered demon. The latter clearly wanted to runâbut Daniel sealed off the entire area.
"What do you plan to do? You should know you canât hurt me," the demon stammered in fear.
"Canât I? Are you sure?" Daniel laughed.
Actually, heâd realized that the sand was a defensive Itemâand that this demon had a support skill. Their reason for regenerating so fast was because of this demon.
But so what?
"If Iâm not wrong, your Itemâs rank must be S. Youâre not easy to defeatâbut what happens when youâre attacked by a weapon of much higher rank? Letâs see, shall we?" Daniel didnât give him time to react, and struck the sand covering with The Heavens Honor.
Contrary to the demonâs expectations...the sand shattered completely.
"Whaâhow is that possible? Thatâs impossible... haha, I must be hallucinating! Am I hallucinating?" the demon panicked, nearly going insane.
How could a human break his defensive Item? It was impossible.
Daniel punched him hard, sending him flying several meters.
"Idiot." What he did wasnât so strange. Though Eternal Judgment was powerful, it was still bound by the userâs strength.
Daniel wasnât powerful enough to break an S-rank Item with raw strength alone.
But not all Items are created equal. A weapon Item of rank S can damage another rank S Item if the weapon is stronger.
The Heavens Honor is higher than even rank Sâso it makes sense it could destroy any lower Item.
"Now itâs time to learn the identity of the Noble Demon." It was time to convert these three demons into Fallen and question them about the Noble Demonâs identity.
This phase of the challenge had dragged on long enoughâit was time to finish.
