[Aspect of the Demon: Razor Sharp Broken Claw]!
After Demiurge survived the fire attack from [Triple Magic: Vermillion Nova], he realized Leinas was approaching him with incredible speed. He immediately activated his skill, transforming his fingernails into razor-sharp claws more than 80 centimeters long, then rushed forward.
The Drip Spear thrust forward with full force, cleaving the air. Demiurge swung his claw blade to parry, however, he suddenly felt his claw blade unable to withstand the impact. An unexpected force came from the spear, as if it was broken by the opponent's defense. Instantly, the spear pierced his shoulder.
He was hit hard and bounced back, even rolling on the ground several times, until he dug his sharp claws into the ground and barely managed to maintain his bodily form. A stinging pain shot through his shoulder.
Ignoring the stinging pain in his shoulder, Demiurge raised his head and glared intensely at Leinas, who was pursuing him, feeling greatly surprised.
He had meticulously studied the information of several key figures in the Church of Destiny, including Leinas. According to the information he had gathered, Leinas was formerly one of the Baharuth Imperial Four Knights, and her strength was far weaker than Gazef Stronoff of the Re-Estize Kingdom.
Even if she had been promoted after joining the Church of Destiny, it should not have reached a level that made him feel so unmatched. This power... it's impossible! He thought quickly, his analysis working furiously.
With a quick thought, Demiurge made a spontaneous decision, unfurling his wings from his back, and flying into the air. If he didn't have the advantage in ground combat, he could completely change the battlefield. He was a demon, and his flying ability was faster and more flexible than ordinary flight magic.
Not only that, there were many other General Demons and Servant Demons he had brought with him in the sky. As long as he joined them, his safety would no longer be an issue.
As Demiurge left the ground, his intention was immediately known to the enemy.
[Greater Magic: Rib Binding]!
Large bone spurs shot up from the ground like a trap and bit Demiurge firmly. Their sharp tips pierced his body and rendered him immobile, trapped in mid-air.
Demiurge looked towards the source of the magic and found Fluder Paradyne wearing his holy magic robe. The old man, whose current level had reached Level 73, had mastered magic with a high degree of specialization. His specialized magic profession made his magic extremely powerful, and it could cause considerable damage to Demiurge, whose physical attribute values were not particularly outstanding.
However, Fluder's attack was primarily aimed at restriction.
Whoosh!
The sound of a warhorse neighing echoed throughout the courtyard, and Leinas summoned a Bright Unicorn, its entire body enveloped in dazzling holy light. Man and horse attacked the immobile Demiurge as one!
The human race's special profession of the Priest-Warrior system, [Holy Beast Knight], required a specific career structure and a total Priest-Warrior system profession level to reach Level 90 or more in the game YGGDRASIL. This was a special profession with an extremely high job difficulty.
After leveling up the profession to the maximum Level 5, one could unlock two special [Holy Beast Knight] skills—[Summon Bright Unicorn] and [Holy Beast Charge]. Due to the high difficulty of obtaining the job, the effects of these two core skills were incredibly powerful.
[Summon Bright Unicorn] was the strongest holy beast mount summoning skill. It could summon a Bright Unicorn of the same level as oneself to assist in battle, and the summoner themselves could gain a 30% attribute value bonus from the mount.
[Holy Beast Charge] was the signature attack skill of the [Holy Beast Knight] profession. Once activated, the player could enter a 'charge' status for a certain period and would not be affected by any control skills. The attack damage dealt to enemies would also receive an additional 'Holy Beast Strike' bonus.
Leinas rode the Bright Unicorn and darted back and forth like a stream of light. In the blink of an eye, she passed through Demiurge three or four times. The holy attribute damage caused wisps of smoky white vapor to appear from the demon's body, evaporating with a sizzling sound.
Seeing their comrades being beaten thoroughly, Ainz Ooal Gown, Shalltear Bloodfallen, and Albedo were temporarily unable to escape due to the control effect of Kael's [Light Cage]. Only Cocytus could move freely, with his keen instincts.
So, he immediately stepped forward to assist Demiurge, the ice on his body radiating a chilling, threatening aura.
It wasn't just him, the three General Demons under Demiurge—Anger, Pride, and Envy—immediately cast aside the Warrior Angels that entwined them and moved closer to Demiurge. They moved with incredible speed.
Although Ainz Ooal Gown and Shalltear Bloodfallen could not move within the confinement, they possessed long-range attack capabilities. One of them unleashed magic to attack Fluder Paradyne who was controlling Demiurge, while the other interfered with Enri Emmot who was about to attack Demiurge.
In just an instant, Demiurge was free from his bonds and protected by Cocytus and the three General Demons. A flawless coordination.
The difference in numbers.
Kael, who had been observing the battle, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw his side's combined attack easily thwarted by the Guardians and other General Demons. A small smile graced his face.
"But you're still dead!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Demiurge. Kael raised his hand and a magic circle locking onto the target opened beneath Demiurge's feet. Glowing golden chains rapidly wrapped around his limbs and body like spiritual snakes, binding him tightly.
"This!?"
"Not good!!!"
Ainz Ooal Gown saw the formidable skill and immediately guessed what Kael was about to do. He shouted, "Stop him!"
The one who reacted fastest to Ainz Ooal Gown's command was Shalltear Bloodfallen.
She and Ainz Ooal Gown unleashed enhanced Tenth-Tier magic, [Gravity Vortex] and [Internal Explosion], one after another, hoping to use the magic attacks to stop Kael's actions. Devastating magical power shot forth.
However, they were still a step too late.
Kael opened both his arms and radiated holy light throughout his body. His figure disappeared in a flash, and was replaced by a gigantic God of Light standing from a massive magic circle, towering towards the sky.
The giant God cupped his palms, and a formidable power of holy light rapidly gathered into a towering magical sword, which he held in his hands.
As his arm slowly lifted, a judgment magic circle appeared beneath Demiurge and the others' feet, and the tip of the holy sword was aimed at the center of the magic circle.
At this moment, he transformed into the God of Salvation and let God decide!
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
As the [Light Cage] dissipated, Ainz Ooal Gown immediately retreated to the sky while issuing commands to all his Guardians and NPCs.
Shalltear Bloodfallen and Albedo had experienced this move firsthand before, so they reacted the fastest, darting away.
Cocytus and the three General Demons who stayed beside Demiurge clearly didn't have time to fully evade, and could only use their strongest defenses to prepare to withstand this immense attack. A sense of desperation emanated from them.
To their surprise, although Leinas, Enri Emmot, and Fluder Paradyne also dodged, they still diverted their attention and unleashed long-range attack skills on several people, disrupting their defensive preparations.
[Holy Light Explosion] x2!
[Greater Magic: Crystal Ice Field]!
The holy light exploded instantly, blurring the vision of the five individuals, and ice spread rapidly, freezing the five individuals' feet in place.
At this moment, after a one-second pause that felt like an eternity, the giant God thrust the sword in his hand with full force, pressing the five individuals to the ground together. Then, divine energy erupted like a volcanic explosion, forming a constantly expanding column of light, annihilating everything in its path.
