Below Adam, the leader of the town once again sacrificed the entire town to summon another monster of pure despair, but compared with the devil, it was far different in size, physical strength, and willpower.
Adam continued to watch as the devil tore through the crowd of antimage apprentices one by one as they devoured them. Their eyes were red with lust as they devoured them, and upon ravaging all of them, they jumped into the air and rushed towards Adam.
Adam stood still in the air, quietly observing the current situation.
He felt that the devil's soul was crying for help in their new body -- their second head took control of the body, and the devil couldn't resist the other head's control.
The monster turned towards Adam and pounced towards him, spraying a purple torrent of magic towards him. Adam could see that the magic was highly corrosive and looked like chains.
Adam dashed forward, rushing towards the purple torrent and sliding his fingers along the purple beam. The beam bent with his fingers, reflecting the magic back towards the monster.
Adam continued to strike the monster with lightning as it was stunned, and the monster's flesh and blood peeled off as it was constantly being smited by lightning.
The monster roared in pain, and Adam could hear the devil crying for help, "Master, please help me!"
No matter how hard Adam tried to summon the devil out of the monster's body, he couldn't do so.
"I'm suppressed..." Adam muttered. Looking closely, it seems like both the monster and the devil gathered together to form a new body.
The monster poses no threat to Adam. Although it was powerful, it wasn't as powerful as Adam.
The negative energy shielding the monster became thinner and thinner as Adam continued striking it down, and Adam knew that the monster was about to die.
Adam flicked his fingers, letting lightning rain down upon the monster.
The monster ducked forward, losing two-thirds of its body before it broke free of Adam's magnetic field.
Adam simply hovered behind the monster as it fled. These kinds of monster would devour anything in its path, becoming stronger the more it devours.
Adam chased after it, watching the monster simply regenerate by breathing in the air. If Adam hadn't rained lightning down upon the monster once in a while, it would've fully recovered by now.
At dawn, Adam found that he had reached a gathering area where a fight was ongoing.
Four apprentices fought a fierce battle against fifty antimage apprentices. Magic permeated the air as the four apprentices killed the antimage apprentices one by one.
The monster's negative aura wasn't powerful enough to pierce through the apprentices' souls, so they weren't overcome with despair.
Meanwhile, the antimage apprentices had no choice but to once again summon a creature to aid them in battle.
"Prepare for the blood sacrifice!"
The leader of the city casted a hasty spell, as the antimage apprentices began to explode in a mist of blood.
The four apprentices backed up into each other, spraying their elements of magic towards the mist.
"What are they doing?!"
"They're trying to summon something... watch out!"
They braced themselves for the blood mist, but found that the blood sacrifice was abruptly interrupted. A monster had dived in from the sky and bit through the blood mist. The monster's body split open, revealing countless mouths that inhaled the blood mist.
"Roar!"
Purple flames shot straight into the sky, and the monster grew rapidly. Tentacles sprouted out the monster, and mouths formed on the tentacles as well.
The monster grabbed the leader of the city with a tentacle and swallowed him. The other antimage apprentices tried to kill the monster, but they couldn't even break through its shield.
Adam studied the scene before him -- he was still gaining points as the monster massacred the antimage apprentices. Seems like the monster was still part of the devil.
The four apprentices stared at the monster. They didn't know if they should attack the monster, but when the monster was finished with the antimage apprentices, it spewed purple torrents of magic towards them.
"Watch out!" one of them shouted, dodging the magic. "Is this another antimage summoner?!"
One of them shot out a fireball towards the monster, but the monster simply swallowed it, burning its throat.
"Is this an abyssal creature? We... we need to kill it in one blow, or it'll regenerate!"
The four of them were obviously very close to each other. They hovered above the monster in a square, moving with the monster. At the same time, the ground, the water, the wind, and fire were being conjured rapidly, and the concentration of elements started to form a unique field of magic.
