Destroying My Own Novel

283 Chapter 282: Urdt, Second Demon Lord of Mahazael. (1)

Urdt stood up and he was five times bigger than Gunnar, and then two demons appeared from thin air. They both were the ministers that Exima mentioned earlier, and they were holding a giant sword with both hands.

The ministers wore the same robe as Kilneg and Convael. Alaric held a wooden staff with a goat head on top with big horns, while Kampione held two swords in his hands with a spear on his back and daggers on his waist.

"Do you think with the help of those outsiders you will be able to stop me?" Urdt asked as he grabbed the giant sword from the ministers' hands. "I have been waiting for this for a very long time, and you're not going to be able to leave this place alive," Urdt continued as he swung his sword around and made mild shockwaves.

"Go!" Agnez shouted.

Rozan and Gerrard ran to the right side of the hall to face Alaric while Gunnar and the others went to the left side of the hall to face Kampione.

Urdt looked at how they underestimated his ministers and made him laugh. He didn't stop until Alaric suddenly got owned by Rozan, and then Gerrard did the final blow by burning him into ashes with [Hellfire].

Urdt was shocked, and when he looked to his right, Kampione was already overwhelmed by Sven, Vincze, and Nagy because they knew Kampione's weaknesses. He couldn't believe that both of his trusted men had been overwhelmed by a bunch of mortals.

"Dark Lord, it's time for you to stop this madness! You have lost, and you won't be able to win against them," Exima said as she readied her stance and pointed her giant sword at Urdt.

"So this is what the daughter of Akkedis has become? A coward that hides behind the strong? He must be so disappointed right now if he sees you," Urdt replied as he scoffed.

Exima gritted her teeth. "I will show you that I'm not a coward!" Exima said as she yelled and charged toward Urdt. She took the bait so easily.

"Protect Exima at all costs! Don't let Urdt take her soul!" Brynhilde said, and then she ran with her team to catch up with Exima.

Asmond and his team followed Brynhilde from behind while Agnez and Jeanne stayed behind.

The White Knights and the Zlettkrieg ran behind Exima, and they didn't fear death at all. Rozan and Gerrard were about to join them as well, but then Aleric appeared again from the thin air and created ice walls to block their path.

"Jeanne! We need your help! We won't be able to kill the ministers if you don't take their spirits!" Rozan said as he looked at Jeanne.

"Wait, doesn't that mean Convael is here as well?!" Gerrard asked as he looked around.

Before they could react to Gerrard's words, Convael appeared from above with hundreds of swords falling to stop Brynhilde and Asmond from protecting Exima. Convael landed right in front of Brynhilde and Asmond. She looked so pissed because they took Avello from her.

"I will not let you pass this time. I will kill every single one of you and I will eat your bodies!" Convael said.

Without Rozan's magic, it was hard for Asmond to handle Convael and her swords. His magic couldn't be compared to Rozan's, and he knew his magic was useless against a powerful enemy like Convael.

"Frey! Gaswin! Eckerhardt! Melt the weapons as many as you can, the rest of us will deal with her," Brynhilde said as she looked at the three of them.

"Alberta, I need you to purify her soul with everything you got! Asmond, you guys follow me and deal with her," Brynhilde said as she looked at them.

Asmond nodded with understanding.

Brynhilde drew another sword, and now she held two swords in her hands. The power of each sword gave her a boost to her basic skills, and then Alberta blessed her swords, Asmond's sword, and the others' swords.

Asmond knew that he wouldn't be able to make it in time if he didn't go all out from the start. He decided to use [Nemesis] and targeted Urdt to boost his skill levels, and then he didn't hesitate to fight Convael head-on.

"I will protect Exima, you just focus on dealing with Convael," Agnez said as she jumped above Asmond's head.

Convael looked at Agnez, but Agnez's gaze scared her to the core that she didn't want to get close to Agnez. Convael let Agnez go because she feared her more than she feared Urdt.

"Jeanne! He's all yours now!" Rozan said after he shackled Aleric with an earth bind and frostbite on all his limbs.

Jeanne dashed and stabbed her sword into Aleric's chest. She then swung her sword up horizontally and cut his chest and head in half. She usually could feel the moment a soul was being sucked into the sword, but she felt something off about Aleric's soul.

Jeanne looked at Aleric's soul which was being sucked from both sides. She then looked at Urdt who tried to grab Aleric's soul to his side, but she swung her head and forced the soul to get inside the sword.

"I'm not going to let you do that," Jeanne said as she glared at Urdt and felt more power from Aleric's soul running through her body.

"Our job here is done. You should help Gunnar and the others, they're going to need your help," Rozan said.

"I know, I'm on my way now. You should go and protect Exima before the dark lord takes her soul," Jeanne said as she ran toward Gunnar and the others.

Vincze and Sven got knocked back because they blocked Kampione's swords. They were surprised at how agile and swift Kampione was. Even Nagy and Lillith couldn't ambush or even land a single hit, no matter how busy the others were to distract him.

"I'm not sure if he's strong, or because we got weaker," Sven said as he swung his scythe and saw Gunnar tanking all the attacks.

"Both, definitely both," Vincze replied as he groaned and he stretched his right shoulder. "It doesn't matter, as long as we give Lillith and Nagy openings, that's good enough. Let's go," Vincze said as he charged toward Kampione.

"This isn't going to work!" Lillith said as she appeared right behind Gunnar.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Gunnar asked as he received a strong blow from Kampione.

"We can't just kill him, we need to purify his soul or Urdt will bring him back to life!" Lillith answered as she looked at Gunnar struggling.

"Shit, you're right!" Gunnar said as he parried and repelled Kampione's attack.

"Not if I'm here," Jeanne said as soon as she arrived.

"Perfect timing. We need you to kill him, we will make you an opening," Lillith said as she looked at Jeanne.

"Yes, just leave it to me," Jeanne nodded her head as she readied her sword and stared at Kampione who dodged and countered everyone's attack.

Nagy was informed that Jeanne would deal the final blow. She then immediately used [Harmony] again and [Doppelganger] to create a body double of herself. Her [Doppelganger] got the [Harmony] buff, and it made her body double as strong as herself.

Nagy and her body double attacked Kampione. Everyone looked at how just the two of her were enough to make Kampione overwhelmed by her movements and attacks. Even they couldn't join in to help because of how dangerous it would be for them if they weren't careful enough.

Jeanne watched Nagy's movement, and she didn't know when to come in. She decided to activate [Harmony] as well. She then could see an opening and decided to dash forward with the speed of sound.

Knowing that Kampione would be able to react to Jeanne's speed, she didn't hold back and ran as fast as she could. She thrust her sword into Kampione's chest, but she couldn't stop herself from hitting his body, so she covered her whole face with her arms.

"Holy shit, did she just make a hole in his chest with her body?" Gunnar asked with his eyes wide open as he stared at the big hole in Kampione's chest.

Jeanne was covered in blood, and she looked disgusted by it as she wiped her face.

Suddenly a purple smoke came and covered the whole hall. Jeanne and the others looked at the smoke and started to hear screams of pain from in front of them. They couldn't see what had happened, except for Agnez.

"This doesn't look good," Mazikeen said inside Agnez's head.

Exima and her knights went on their knees and they were all holding their heads. One by one, they turned into Abyss Knights and became Urdt's underlings.

"How funny to think all forget about the curse that I put on your bodies," Urdt said as he slowly walked toward Exima. "At last, my final form is about to be completed,"

Urdt looked at Exima who was on her knees, but suddenly a wing protected Exima from Urdt.

"Looks like you forget about the real threat here," Mazikeen said as she smirked and giggled mischievously.
