The entire 13th Layer of the Abyss shook as Antero's gigantic fist smashed against the ground.
ALL-MITE, who was watching the scene, raised his thumb and said "Nice Smash", immediately after which he was sent flying by the powerful shockwave that followed.
(E/N: Kowabunga!)
Everything within the three-mile Radius of Antero was blown away, and those who were near the point of impact were instantly obliterated by his overwhelming might.
When the dust receded, Antero's hulking figure appeared, with his fist firmly embedded in the ground.
A moment later, he lifted his hand, allowing those who had recovered see Andras' pitiful form.
Surprisingly, the Demigod survived Antero's punch, but his body was wounded all over. His arms and legs were bent at unnatural angles.
Clearly, he had suffered serious injuries after taking the Golem's punch head-on.
Without any warning, Blackfire appeared beside the Demigod and started smacking it with its body. It even resorted to using its entire body to body slam the Demigod. Unfortunately, it wasn't able to deal much damage to it.
Antero chuckled as he watched the persistent Black Coffin try to beat the crap out of the Demigod in order to devour it.
However, even in his injured state, Andras was still a Demigod, and Blackfire's repeated attacks weren't able to deal much damage to him.
Suddenly, Antero picked up the black coffin with his fingers and stopped it from attacking.
"Funny coffin," Antero chuckled. "Greedy coffin."
Blackfire stopped struggling and behaved like an obedient child. Clearly, it didn't want to get on Antero's bad side.
Even so, it looked down on the body of the Demigod with regret because it was unable to steal it!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQueen Rhiannon landed beside the fallen Demigod and looked at him in disdain.
To his credit, Andras didn't flinch from her stare and even managed and dared to laugh despite his injured state.
"You got lucky this time, Rhiannon," Andras said as blood spilled at the corner of his lips. "I was this close to making you submit. If only Antero hadn't appeared, you and your Succubi would have become my playthings!"
Queen Rhiannon didn't say anything because what Andras said was certainly a possibility. Although she wouldn't go as far as to say that she would have become his slave, the fact remained that her Succubi would indeed become his playthings if Antero hadn't appeared.
There was simply no way for her to fight against two Demigods at the same time.
The Succubus Queen then stared in the direction of the portal.
Andras' associate, Andrealphus, was nowhere to be seen.
During the commotion, the Dreadlord quickly made his escape and was probably fleeing back to the 11th Layer.
Queen Rhiannon sneered before shifting her gaze back to Andras.
She would deal with Andrealphus later, but for now, she had to deal with the hateful Demigod on the ground.
"Any last words?" Queen Rhiannon asked as she summoned a purple blade in her hand.
Andras didn't reply and simply spat on her feet.
Queen Rhiannon didn't bother to dodge, allowing the Demigod to get a little bit of satisfaction before he died.
The Succubus Queen then stabbed Andras' chest, piercing through his Abyssal Core.
A moment later, her blade glowed brightly, absorbing the Demigod Core and passing its strength to its new Master.
When the absorption was done, Queen Rhiannon felt her strength soar drastically, making her sigh in pleasure due to how good it felt.
"Don't worry, Andras," Queen Rhiannon stated. "I'll take over your domain before I visit Andrealphus. He and I have a lot of things to talk about."
As soon as she pulled out the sword from the Demigod's dead body, Blackfire appeared and swallowed the corpse whole.
After succeeding with its attempt, the Black Coffin gave Queen Rhiannon a brief bow before disappearing completely.
The corner of the Succubus' Queen's lips twitched because she didn't expect the Black Coffin to snatch Andras' body in front of her and Antero.
The Golem of Destruction looked at his fingers that had been holding Blackfire a moment ago and chuckled.
"Sly little coffin." Antero chuckled. "Playing Possum."
Just as Antero had stated, Blackfire decided to play the obedient coffin and waited for the perfect moment to strike.
Lux, who had just witnessed the scene, laid down on the ground and closed his eyes.
Eiko, who didn't understand what her Papa was doing, nudged his cheek in an attempt to wake him up.
"Shhh, let's play a sleeping game for now, Eiko," Lux said in a hushed tone. "We didn't see anything."
"Pa!" Eiko nodded and played along with her Papa.
The Baby Slime then closed her eyes, pressed her cheeks against Lux, and pretended to be asleep.
Gaap, who saw his disciple's antics, could only chuckle and shake his head helplessly.
Deep inside, he was quite impressed by how bold Blackfire was. He knew how diligent the Black Coffin was when it came to collecting the bodies of strong people in order to strengthen Lux's army.
But getting the corpse of a Demigod wasn't the same as getting the corpse of a Saint.
Demigods were inherently more powerful than Saints, and it would take a party of them to defeat one in combat.
With a Demigod secured in Blackfire's hands, Gaap had no doubt that his disciple would be able to stand on the shoulders of giants very soon.
'With this, I will be able to rest easily,' Gaap thought. 'There is still some unfinished business that I have to do, and staying with Lux will only hinder his growth.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile the Halfling was thinking about these things, Queen Rhiannon landed beside them. She then walked past Gaap before kicking Lux off the ground, which sent the Half-Elf fly a few meters away.
"Where am I?!" Lux shouted after he crashed on the ground. "Who am I?!"
"Brat, it seems that you don't recall what happened just now," Queen Rhiannon stated as her tail extended, and wrapped itself around the Half-Elf's body, dragging him back to her. "Do you want me to make you remember?"
The Succubus Queen flashed the Half-Elf a devilish smile before making her nails grow longer.
Lux smiled bitterly as he looked at Queen Rhiannon with a face filled with injustice.
"Consider Andras' body as my reward for helping you," Lux replied. "I won't ask for anything else."
"Oh? After your servants pillaged my Treasury like bandits, you still have the guts to ask for a reward?" Queen Rhiannon then moved forward to whisper something in his ears. "Do you want me to squeeze you dry and make your Rank regress? I think you're forgetting that I have the Celestial Maiden Physique."
The Half-Elf's face paled because of the Succubus Queen's threat. He had a feeling that she wasn't joking, and it made his blood rush to his middle region.
'Idiot! What are you thinking at a moment like this?!' Lux berated himself because his little brother reacted like a fearless soldier prepared to fight a war that it had no chance of winning.
A giggle escaped from Queen Rhiannon's lips after sensing the changes in Lux's body. Truth be told, she was not offended when Blackfire stole Andras' body.
In fact, she was even glad about it because she didn't want to see his face for another second, even if he was already dead.
"Fine. I'll let you off just this once," Queen Rhiannon stated. "But your duty is still not done. Follow me."
"Follow you where?" Lux inquired.
"Where else?" Queen Rhiannon sneered. "It's time to give the 12th Layer a new Master."
Although she didn't have any goals to expand her rule, the other Abyssal Lords would look down on her if she passed up this opportunity.
Since she didn't want anyone aside from Andras to think that she was softhearted, she decided to carry out the motions of conquering the slain Abyssal Lord's Domain.
Antero chuckled before following Queen Rhiannon to the portal.
He knew that he couldn't stay long in the Abyss, and the only way for him to ensure her safety was to make every Abyssal Lord think that he could return to the Abyss anytime he wanted.
In the next few days, rumors spread through the Abyss like Wildfire.
Every demon was talking about the reappearance of The Herald of Death on the 12th Layer, accompanied by the Golem of Destruction, as well as a Necromancer, whose Undead Army had taken the entire layer by storm.
