The entire area around the demon castle was dreary and desolate. There was not a single grain of vegetation growing around there.
The huge monolith of Demon Castle is supported by auxiliary buildings that form an impenetrable fortress that would even make things difficult for an Overlord realm expert.
About being attacked or invaded, there was no need to worry about that as any army marching over their lands would soon run out of supplies. The distance between the cities is vast and the terrain made it hard to walk around. One had to go through hell to step in here.
That's why even if a few cities and fortresses fall, Agnes was not worried about it as he could easily conquer them later but who would think that this human, a puny human would get the courage to belittle him and step into the Tiger Den alone without any shred of fear?
His mere presence disgusted Agnes and made him feel as if his pride was being trampled over. All the respect and fear he had earned over the years turned into dust by this man.
There was neither a hint of fear nor any worry reflected from those eyes rather they were burning with animosity.
"Are you ready to die?"Agnes's deathly voice fell over Alex who stared back at him without any fear.
Without allowing Alex to answer back, Agnes moved.
Alex never put down his guard but Agnes' counter-attack came swiftly, it was strong and filled with immense anger.
Before the dust cloud could clear away, a gigantic fist emerged from within it hitting Alex's body and sending it flying.
Aled crashed into the deserted land and tumbled for several metres before coming to a complete stop.
"That was a brute and solid punch," Alex mumbled non-chantilly as he tried to prop himself up from the shifting powdered rocks underneath him.
Alex shrugged his body and gazed at the towering giant that appeared before him from the dust cloud.
"What a shitty menacing look you have?"Alex mocked Agnes as he saw Agnes fearsome appearance.
"You talk too much," Agnes scoffed as he unfurled his huge reptilian demonic wings behind his back.
The huge wings cast a shadow over the place engulfing the place in silence.
"Are you prepared to die?"
"No."Alex shook his head and said, "You should look behind your back."
Alex stretched his arms and swung them at Agnes.
Agnes snorted and was about to attack, seeing Alex taking his stance when something hit the back of his head forcing his face to plant on the ground which sent waves of dust and rocks flying.
"I warned you."Alex laughed, taking his hand out from the dimension crack which Alex made by tearing the spaces and joining the two voids.
The crown on his head broke due to the attack
and the surprise attack infuriated him.
"Damn you!"Agnes roared in anger.
Getting up, he shot straight at Alex like a beam.
Alex descended from the sky and changed his stance, throwing a kick and smashing his soles at Agnes' punch coming at him.
Different auras clashed with one another, dying the sky with different colours.
BOOOOOOOM!
The void seems to shatter due to their collision.
Rumbles one after another started to ring loudly followed by showers of lightning striking here and there turning the place into hell.
Moving around with speed invisible to the naked eye, Alex and Agnes clashed several times in the air.
Their images appear and disappear leaving behind bubbles in the air which burst and explode reverting into violent shock waves.
The entire Demon continent started to tremble due to the fight. Cracks and Crevices appeared underneath them while the force of destruction started to wreak havoc.
Mountains and hills were pulverized and decimated, unable to take on the fierce shock wave.
The tectonic plates tumbled causing some dormant volcanoes to explode and spew magma and ashes out of the earth warning of the approaching calamity due to their fight.
As the fight went longer, Agnes started getting agitated and beads of sweat formed over his head.
'I had lived for 800 years. I have fought several times in my lifetime and been enriched in battle experience but this kid, just how?"
'I feel as if I am fighting an ancient monster who woke up from his slumber. His eyes seemed to see through everything and he is easily countering attacks.'
'Now that I notice, what is his rank?'
'I can't feel his realm. Did...Did he have achieved Godhood? Cause I have felt Demi Gods before but I can't feel his limit.'
Agnes started to panic and his breathing became haggard. Alex started to suppress him and threw him around like a rag doll.
Wounds of various sizes appeared all over Agnes' body while Alex looked unscathed.
It was then, something fell over Alex and slammed him with its full body to the ground forming a huge crater.
"Hurem!"
"Your Majesty, please let us fight?''
With a declaration 8 overlord aura locked into Alex and he was attacked all around.
Alex took a few hits due to being baffled for a moment.
Slamming onto the ground, Alex coughed black blood. The combined might of 8 Overlords wasn't something one could take on easily.
The situation was quite dire but at the same time Alex's sleeping heart started to beat wildly. with excitement. His eyes flashed with eternal coldness.
"Oh my...my…..What is this?"
"You are bullying me?"
"Shut up and die. Insolent human. After your death, we will flatten the Human land and rule the entire world."
"You surely have some lofty and absurd dreams, Agnes."Alex chuckled and raised his gaze to Agnes who was looking at him with an inexplicable gaze.
"This is not a dream any more. This is going to be reality."
"You need to defeat me too for that," Alex answered.
"You can try your best. We will kill you punk."An orange-haired demon spoke and laughed.
His laugh irked Alex for some reason.
"Are you sure?"
"Can you handle it?"Alex asked and his joyful expression changed suddenly as if he had changed gears becoming something unknown.
The Demon Overlord's face filled with confidence started to crumble as something deep and dark seemed to be seething out of Alex.
His eyes became as black as an endless abyss and a black star of terrifying light shot out from his back.
Darkness no an abysmal darkness that eerily struck their heart with fear and despondent stimulating the depth of their heart with ominousness.
"Tell me, can you handle it?"
"My animosity."
"Attack him now, "Agnes screamed and each one of them pounced on Alex with all their might.
A huge energy ball started to expand around them, encircling them in a deadly power.
[Nuclear De Nova]
With a sparkling light equivalent to the sun itself, an explosion of hundreds of atom bombs exploding together swept across the surroundings destroying everything that came into its radius.
........
Amber of crimson flames burnt the land. Lava took the place of the river and many such lava rivers poured down their contents into the Ocean filled with fiery lava which was taken and used as purgatory.
The scene is hellish and brutal with no sight of living beings around and at the centre of such land stood a gigantic castle burning fiercely with intense heat.
Inside it, lay the throne of the person whose name is enough to strike fear in the hearts of people.
Cause he is none other than death.
The King of Hell, The Devil.
Folding his legs, he took a glass filled with fiery liquid from his servant. His dark bloody gaze stared at the happenings of the world with great excitement.
"Finally, something entertaining. I have been bored here lately."
"Hmm..."
"Should I look for the Goddess of war and fight with her?'
If Alex heard this he would surely call this guy a masochist.
Devil who was enjoying some pleasant scenes frowned suddenly, he waved his hand asking his servant to take back his glass.
"Lock Hell and hide."
"Yes, Your Highness."The servant bowed his head and disappeared without speaking anything else.
"I wish I could have watched it a bit more alas..."
His words stopped abruptly as he saw six dark figures appearing before him led by a beautiful woman.
"Your Highness, Devil, I hope you pardon our intrusion."
"You surely have grown some courage."He snorted.
"What do you want?"Devil asked.
"You know very well what we want?"
"Did you forget what happened last time?"
"Hehehehh"
"Don't worry, we are fully prepared this time."The lady spoke and released her aura.
"We want your life, Devil. Your time has come to an end."
"True God!"The Devil frowned and chuckled.
"Although I may not live past today I will surely bring some of you down."
With this frightening pressure descended upon hell following which a bloody fight ensued which signalled the forthcoming of destruction.
