Roy, wearing a ghost mask, suddenly appeared behind Mammon and plunged the cursed double daggers into the back of his heart.
Even though the current Mammon wasn't in his complete form, his defense was still incredibly strong. Roy totally had to use brute force to stab him.
The power of the curse started to kick in, but it barely had any effect on Mammon, almost negligible really.
But Roy wasn't actually planning on taking down Mammon with just the cursed double daggers. A Lord of Hell wouldn't be that weak, getting killed by so asly weapons housing evil spirits.
What Roy really wanted to do was rescue Uriel!
While Mammon was trying to force the cursed double daggers out, Roy suddenly whipped out the cursed hair and wrapped it around Iris.
High-voltage electricity surged through Roy, but he just toughed it out with his constitution of 52 and pulled Iris free.
At that mont, Iris's body was covered in serious burn marks. She was practically charred.
"Ms. Iris, do you have any way to deal with Mammon?"
Iris weakly answered Roy, "Sorry, in my current condition, I can't take on Mammon using normal thods. All we can do is try a banishnt ritual!"
Roy definitely knew about banishnt rituals. It's even written about in the Key of Solomon. But he rushed over here and didn't have any of the necessary stuff on him.
[Just a quick note for readers: our website is 101kan]
A proper banishnt ritual needs holy water, holy oil, a cross, and a Bible. Roy didn't have any of that. So, how was he supposed to banish him?
Mammon had already forced the cursed double daggers out of his body. The two daggers looked totally burnt, like they'd been dipped in strong acid. The spirits inside, Sadako and Kayako, were also seriously hurt. Roy quickly grabbed the cursed double daggers and put them back in his inventory.
"Damn human, how dare you sneak attack !"
Mammon was beyond furious. He felt like a regular person getting bit by an ant.
It was a huge humiliation, and only blood could wash it away.
"You go block Mammon for a sec, I'll handle the ritual!"
fight Mammon? Seriously?
Roy was completely unsure of himself. After all, his opponent was the King of Greed, one of the Seven Deadly Sins!
Just the na itself carried so serious weight.
At that mont, the enraged Mammon charged straight at Roy. After all, his opponent was just a human. There was no need to use the golden dice; he could just grab him, crush him, and then slowly torture his soul.
Iris was injured behind him, so Roy had nowhere to run. He had no choice but to fight!
He pulled the chainsaw sword out of his inventory and flipped the switch. The built-in motor roared to life, and the toothed chain spun like crazy at hundreds of revolutions per second. The teeth scraped against the air, throwing off blue-white sparks. The sound was like a wild animal's growl.
Bang!
Roy actually managed to block Mammon's attack with the chainsaw sword! This surprised not only Roy himself but also Iris and Mammon.
You could see that the stat increases from opening all those treasure chests had finally reached a tipping point.
Roy was now strong enough to withstand Mammon's power with his physical stats, but that was also because Mammon hadn't fully descended.
"Human, kneel before !"
Mammon got even angrier. Golden light blazed from his palms as he forcefully pressed down on the chainsaw sword, putting serious pressure on Roy.
The pressure suddenly spiked. Roy gritted his teeth, but he still couldn't hold back Mammon's imnse strength, and his body kept sinking.
Even the chainsaw sword was affected by the golden light and started to slow down.
Almost there, just a little more!
Roy felt like he was just a hair's breadth away from being able to beat Mammon.
So, gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, Roy went straight into his demon form.
"Get the hell outta here!"
His size and stats instantly got a huge boost. The temporary increase of 20 points was imdiately noticeable, and Roy successfully pushed Mammon back.
Mammon and Iris's eyes practically popped out of their heads in shock.
"You're a demon too?!"
"You are also a demon?!"
A Lord of Hell and an Archangel actually said the sa thing at the exact sa ti.
Then Iris went silent. She finally understood Michael's secret because the person who had changed her was a demon, sothing absolutely forbidden in Heaven.
But Iris could also tell that Roy was a righteous demon, which was probably even rarer than a pure succubus.
Mammon sniffed the air around Roy, and his expression changed dramatically.
"Damn it! You're one of Belial's lackeys!"
Roy didn't want to waste any more ti talking to Mammon. He pressed the switch on the chainsaw sword again, and hellfire started burning fiercely before he charged at Mammon.
"Enough talk! Just die already!"
Mammon instantly created a golden shield to block Roy's attack, but gold wasn't tough enough. It might be okay against energy attacks, but against a physical attack...
In the roaring sound of the hellfire chainsaw sword, the golden shield was sliced in two in the blink of an eye.
But Mammon managed to get a breather. He suddenly clapped his hands together, and the scattered gold dust around him started to swirl and surround Roy.
Did he realize he couldn't win with strength and was trying to use a softer approach?
Mammon's plan was pretty good – trap Roy's body in the gold dust and suffocate him. But Mammon forgot that tis have changed.
Without hesitation, Roy pulled a Remington M870 out of his inventory. Under the influence of hellish power, the gun instantly got a hellish makeover.
With the dark barrel of the gun pointed at him, Mammon instantly felt a bad vibe and quickly used the gold dust to protect himself.
But Roy was faster!
Fear Domain, activate!
Mammon's heart skipped a beat, and he saw a brief hallucination.
If you were to ask what the King of Greed feared most, it would definitely be losing all his precious belongings.
His four red eyes suddenly went wide, and Mammon let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"No, give back my money!"
The scream was so awful that even Roy jumped when he pulled the trigger.
A Lord of Hell is still a Lord of Hell. Even though he wasn't at full power, Mammon quickly broke free from the Fear Domain and snapped back to reality.
But at that mont, the flaming skull from the hell shotgun was already right in front of him.
Boom!
A huge explosion!
After completing the Ritual of the Rebel Pact, Roy's demon transformation got a boost, and it looked like the weapon enhancents that ca with it got stronger too.
Plus, Roy gained a new demon ability: Soul Absorption Hand!
Roy raised his arm, and the five-ter-tall Mammon was uncontrollably sucked towards him. For a mont, he was dizzy from getting blasted in the face and didn't even try to resist.
By the ti Mammon realized sothing was wrong, Roy had already pulled him right up close.
"You bastard—"
Roy was ruthless and didn't waste words. He didn't give Mammon a chance to speak, attacking with both hands, hacking with the hellfire chainsaw greatsword and blasting with the hell shotgun.
But then, Mammon cast another spell that made his skin glow with a tallic sheen, like he'd instantly turned into solid tal.
This made the hellfire chainsaw greatsword and the hell shotgun completely ineffective.
Man, what strong physical defense!
Roy frowned, then he quickly rembered he had another ability that could ignore physical defense.
Dark Touch, activate!
A cloud of darkness suddenly appeared behind Roy, and four black tentacles quickly sprouted from it. He got one tentacle for every 10 points of his Spirit stat.
Mammon's thousands of years of combat experience told him that the black tentacles in front of him were trouble. He tried to use magic to counter them.
But Roy didn't want to drag things out. The longer it went on, the worse it would be for him because he was running out of tricks.
So, Lust Domain, activate!
The Lust Domain wasn't just about creating lustful illusions, but for most people, food and sex are the most basic desires.
But Mammon was different. He had zero interest in sex; he only cared about money.
So, the illusion Mammon saw was himself swimming in a sea of countless precious treasures. This illusion successfully hard-locked him for a full second.
By the ti the guy snapped out of it, four dark tentacles had already pierced his body.
"No—my body!"
The dark tentacles actually had the effect of draining life energy, directly causing Mammon's body to shrink a bit.
"Go back to hell, Mammon!"
At this point, Iris, who had been recovering for a bit, also joined the fight. She didn't use that power of spoken words again. Instead, she cut her arm and sprayed her blood on Mammon.
As the human form of an angel, Iris's blood was a higher level than holy water, holy oil, and holy chrism, possessing extrely powerful exorcising abilities.
Under the double whammy, Mammon finally realized his plan had failed. He looked at Roy with resentnt.
"I curse you, Belial's lackey!"
Then, Mammon just exploded into golden sand, sending Roy and Iris flying.
"Did Mammon run away?"
Roy was still a bit unsure and didn't change back to his human form. Demons are really sneaky, and he might just pull a fast one and co back for a surprise attack.
Iris struggled to get up and then looked at Roy with a complicated expression.
"He has indeed returned to Hell. If he had died in the human world, the loss for him would have been even greater."
Hearing that, Roy understood.
So high-ranking demons don't actually die when they're killed in the human world; their power just takes a huge hit.
And once Mammon realized he was no match for Roy and Iris, he cut his losses and ran back to Hell.
This was also because Mammon prefers to play it safe. If it had been the King of Wrath, Samael, here, it would have been different. He would have fought to the death, even if it ant his own demise.
Hearing this, Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back into his human form.
Right after that, Roy noticed there was still soone alive in the studio – the very person who had caused all of this, Jack Dell.
The guy was pretty lucky. He'd been hiding in a corner, just observing from the sidelines, and sohow managed to survive.
"You're still not dead!"
Roy walked over to Jack and kicked him over.
"Help! I'm innocent! I was just tricked by the King of Greed!"
"Get up and look in the eyes!"
Roy imdiately activated his Eye of Judgnt. He could clearly see the red glow on Jack, and his sin was extraordinary.
It was likely that so of the sin generated by Mammon killing everyone in the building had jumped over to Jack.
"I declare you guilty!"
Pushing Jack to the ground, Roy pulled out his ivory-handled Smith & Wesson M629 revolver, ready to execute him.
Jack knelt on the ground, still trying to explain.
"No! I just wanted to be famous, to beco a star! What's so wrong with that? Isn't that what they all do in Hollywood and on Wall Street?!"
"That's no excuse for causing so many deaths! You crossed the line!"
Roy cocked the hamr of the revolver, the barrel pointed at Jack's head.
"Spare , please spare ! I even sacrificed my wife to get where I am today..."
Roy didn't listen to Jack's explanation and just pulled the trigger.
Bang!
One shot to the head!
[Ding! Obtained Jack Dell's Fate Treasure Chest! Open it?]
A huge amount of Justice Points was absorbed into his body.
Turning around, Roy saw Iris staring blankly.
"Uh, Ms. Iris, should I take you to the hospital?"
Iris shook her head and closed her eyes.
"My injuries aren't serious. Just take away from here."
It seed that Iris wasn't disgusted by Roy's demon form.
But judging by the fact that Iris let Elrasha go, she wasn't the type to be completely rigid.
Co to think of it, how could an angel of wisdom be so narrow-minded?
Roy supported Iris as they walked out of the TV station building. The outside was already surrounded by FEAR.
"Mr. Black, what's the situation?"
Gerald nervously glanced at Roy and then looked surprised when he saw Iris, who was covered in burns.
"It's been handled, Mr. Olin. But everyone inside the TV station building is dead."
Gerald felt a wave of dizziness. This was at least hundreds of lives lost. Adding the people killed by Elrasha in the afternoon, the death toll in Los Angeles today might break a thousand.
In modern society, a thousand deaths at once is a major incident in any civilized country.
Gerald felt like his job was on the line.
"How could this happen?"
Because watching the live broadcast was risky, Gerald didn't know exactly what had happened inside the TV station.
"That guy Jack Dell summoned the King of Greed."
This short sentence made Gerald so angry he was fuming.
"Is that guy crazy? Where is he now?"
"I already took care of him."
"He got off easy!"
Looking at Gerald's expression, it seed like he wanted to bring Jack back to life just to kill him again out of spite.
Then, Gerald finally started asking about Iris's identity. After all, everyone in the entire building was dead, and only Roy and Iris had co out alive.
"Mr. Black, who is this person with you?"
Roy looked at Iris, wanting to see how she would react.
Iris nodded slightly at Roy, seemingly agreeing for him to reveal her identity.
"Her na is Iris. She's the human form of the Archangel Uriel. We were able to take down the King of Greed this ti entirely thanks to Ms. Iris."
Roy didn't take any credit for himself but instead gave it all to Iris.
After all, as a human, Roy's fighting power was too strong, which could cause problems for his future normal life.
Look at Batman; the governnt never worries about him because he's just a regular guy.
But Superman, this god among n, the whole world is wary of him, afraid he might suddenly turn bad one day.
Iris seed to see through Roy's intentions, so she didn't object.
Gerald stared at Iris with his mouth wide open. He suddenly realized how he could save his job.
