538 Burning the soul

"Take care of him and don't hesitate to go all out,"

Ajax was confident in his three elemental spirits in killing a level 10 demon general with their combined efforts. So, he casually ordered them to go all out against the rushing demon general.

Even though the three elemental spirits still haven't reached the elemental spirit general realm, Ajax was sure that if his three elemental spirits acted as a team, they could kill him.

'Swosh'

As for the incoming demon general, he was only concentrated on Ajax and didn't even bother with the elemental spirits. 

'Huh? Why does he seem like he is possessed by something?'

Since he was confident in his elemental spirits, Ajax didn't bother to dodge the incoming demon general and silently thought in his head while observing the demon general.

The rushing demon general's eyes were pitch black and it seemed like he could only see Ajax in his line of sight.

So, Ajax thought he was possessed.

'Volcanis, use inferno along with the fire asteroids,'

'Cerauno, Create as many weapons as possible and enchant them,'

'Bane, you play with your five elemental poison pearl; however, be careful, it can't recognise friend or foe,'

Nevertheless, Ajax ordered his elemental spirits to finish the incoming demon general as soon as possible as he felt a bad premonition on his heart for a while now.

As soon as Ajax gave his orders, Bane was the first one to throw his five elemental poison pearl at the demon general, which entered into his body within a few moments and slowed his speed.

Volcanis used his inferno skill to increase his battle prowess by a factor of 2 times before using the fire asteroids because then the power of the fire asteroid would be doubled and adding to one level up for all his skills by his 'King of fire', the asteroids became even more powerful.

Cerauno, the weapon specialist created hundreds of weapons from his lightning essence of nature and enchanted them before releasing them at the slowed-down demon general.

'Boom'

'Boom'

'Thud'

Soon, the slowed-down demon general received many fire asteroids from the sky and many enchanted weapons from Cerauno that blasted off the demon general into a huge tree.

"Since I failed to kill you last time, I will make sure to kill this time,"

Ajax slowly walked towards Delgoth as he talked to the demon general.

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly the demon general revealed a confused look on his face and hurriedly checked his surroundings before seeing Ajax.

"I am going to kill you now,"

As soon as he looked at Ajax, his eyes turned back into pitch black that immediately stood up from the ground and rushed to kill Ajax with his long hands.

All his elemental spirits were some distance away from Ajax and the demon general and unable to stop the demon general before he closed in the distance between him and Ajax.

'Who will save you, now?'

When the demon general was only a couple of meters away from Ajax, he revealed a cruel look on his ferocious face as he muttered in a voice that was barely audible to Ajax.

"If you think, I need my elemental spirits to protect me from you, then you're wrong. I am just tired of fighting for the past couple of days. Nevermind, I will kill you on my own,"

Ajax scoffed at the demon general's words before revealing a small smile on his face and muttered, "Abysall beast god bloodline, activate."

'Bloodlust spear come out,'

'Heaven destroyer form activate,'

Within less than a second, Ajax activated his bloodline before summoning the bloodlust spear from his spirit consciousness.

Moreover, he didn't want to waste any time in the middle section of the cursed wilderness. So, he activated the Heaven destroyer form of the bloodlust spear.

'Level 2 spear dao,'

'Kacha'

Before the demon general could react to Ajax's fast usage of all his tricks, the heaven destroyer spear pierced into the chest of the demon general.

'Aargh'

The demon general groaned in pain and forcefully separated himself from the spear and jumped backwards.

"Huh? What is happening to me? Why am I injured?"

Once again the demon general's eyes turned back to light red colour (Which is the standard colour of his eyes) and looked at his surroundings.

'Aargh'

He clutched the hole in his chest and continued groaning in pain.

"Huh? Is he gone mad from my earlier torture by using 'Absolute darkness' on him?"

Looking at the demon general's actions and listening to his words, Ajax thought something was not right and carefully observed him.

'What the ...'

While he was observing the injured demon general in front of him, Ajax noticed that the hole in the demon general's chest was healing at an incredible speed which made Ajax raise his brows.

"That's right! It must be the scroll from the demon king. It is controlling me and making me kill this human brat at any cost,"

Finally, the demon general realized that he had been used by his demon king Garreth and he came to that realization very late.

Slowly, his eyes once again started turning back into pitch-black colour as he consciousness started disappearing as he was taken over by the will of the demon king Garreth.

Without him realizing, the demon general named Delgoth's spirit had died inside his body.

'Kill kill kill'

Soon, his eyes completely turned pitch black as his eyes landed on Ajax and there was only a single word that was continuously repeated in his head.

"Oh no. This is bad,"

Not only the hole in the demon general's chest was healing but his aura also started increasing.

'So, this is the bad premonition my heart keep on feeling from the beginning,'

Ajax finally understood the reason for his bad premonition and hurried distanced himself from the demon general.

'Ding,

The demon general in front of the host is burning his soul and blood essence by some mysterious technique to increase his cultivation. The system suggests the host be extremely careful with him. 

All of a sudden, Ajax received a system notification that made him understand the complete situation of what was happening in front of him.

Until now, he thought that the main demon general had gone mad because of his extreme torture by the 'Absolute darkness' skill; however, after seeing the system notification and along with the previous words of the main demon general, he understood he didn't go mad.

But, he was manipulated by the demon king he had escaped in the dimensional crevice earlier.

"I have already tortured you enough. So, I will try my best to stop your body and let it rest,"

Even though he knew that the demon general could not hear him, he said to the demon general in front of him.

'Aargh'

All of a sudden, the demon general broke through the general realm and entered the elite general realm; however, the increase in the cultivation didn't stop and continued to increase.

"Now, this is very bad,"

All of a sudden, Ajax had second thoughts about his situation and muttered to himself.
