Gula let out a chuckle as she slamd her fist against the middle of a petrified Archdemon’s torso, shattering that spot, along with the Core.
A stuttering roar of pain rang out as Acedia slipped behind another of the Archdemons and grabbed the back of her head with his right hand, unleashing a devastating burst of lightning and frying her brain, before driving his left hand towards the middle of her back.
His claws pierced through before colliding against her Core with a sharp clink, shattering it upon impact, before his arm burst out the front of her torso.
Ira flew up and swooped down towards one of the remaining Archdemons, veering across as the Archdemon fired out a powerful, rapid Negative Energy blast, before he ford a blade of Ether along his right palm and whipped it down, splitting the Archdemon’s head open, before swiftly firing out a piercing beam of Ether at the Archdemon’s Core from his left hand, piercing through before the Archdemon could react.
A cry of pain echoed out as Avaritia lunged at the last remaining Archdemon, snapping her jaws around his neck before ripping his throat out and plunging her claws into his solar plexus.
The Archdemon shuddered in pain, before she ripped his Core out and crushed it in her grasp, the Archdemon collapsing with a thud and slumping against the ground.
"Man...rember when even a single Archdemon appearing was a huge deal? And we just watched more than twenty of them get wiped out in less than a minute," Remarked Jaden in bemusent.
"Yeah, even if these ones were a bit on the weaker side and clearly unskilled and inexperienced in battle, they all had Power Levels of over two million," Nodded Aria in response.
We’ve all blown so far past that level that it seems like nothing at this point. There was a point where a Power Level of half a million seed like a big deal to , and I can now reach a Power Level of over twenty tis higher than that.
Now, then...
"Hey, Avaritia, how much further to the next group of Archdemons?" I inquired, as we approached the Apostles.
"."
"Sounds good. Any of you need to resummon you?" I asked the Apostles.
"," Reasoned Superbia objectively.
Yeah, that’s a fair point.
"," Added Ira confidently.
"Okay, then, let’s keep going," I replied, before following after Avaritia as she led the way.
"Hm, if these Archdemons are stronger than the ones we fought before, maybe they’re mbers of the Demon Lord’s Generals?" Suggested Aria thoughtfully.
"," Responded Acedia.
"Oh, that’s right, you used to be one of the Demon Lord’s Generals yourself, right? So, I bet you’d recognize them if-...," Began Jaden.
"."
"," Spoke up Luxuria with a thumbs up.
"," Superbia said to Acedia, Ira, Avaritia and Gula, before adding as she gestured to herself, Luxuria and Invidia, "."
"," Nodded Avaritia in response.
"< neither>," Added Gula in agreent.
"," Chid in Ira.
"," Acedia sighed wistfully.
"," Mused Invidia enviously.
"," Scoffed Luxuria smugly.
"!"
"."
"!"
"Guys, co on, cut it out," I sighed in exasperation.
"."
"."
"Uh, Avaritia, how much further?" Interjected Aria with a huff.
"."
Sure enough, a group of five Archdemons ca into sight, narrowing their eyes at us, before the Apostles stepped forward.
"," Remarked Luxuria, grouping up with Superbia and Invidia, the other four splitting off before rushing forward.
"Seriously, though...five powerful Archdemons and I’m not even batting an eye. If you told a few months ago that I’d be in this situation, I’d just assu that I’d be completely dood," Remarked Jaden, as the Apostles clashed against the Archdemons, loud crashes ringing out.
"Yeah, they don’t feel nearly as much of a threat as they used to," Nodded Ciel, as Jaden swiftly stepped forward and ford a wall of telekinesis in front of us as several stray Negative Energy blasts flew this way, blocking them out before they could reach us.
"These five are definitely putting up a much better fight than the last group, though, this might take a while," Frowned Cleo in response.
"Think we should enter the fray?" Suggested Aria.
"No, there’s no need. We need to conserve our energy as much as possible, we can’t afford to be even a fraction below our best when we reach the Demon Lord," I shook my head, after taking a mont to mull it over...
