Chapter 1788 1788. Facing Satan

It was too late now. All John could do was manage the soldiers as best as he could. Even if they suffered heavy losses, they had to at least take down a few devils so their losses were not a waste. Now that the mobile fortress was half-broken, almost everyone exited it to face the devils directly. Only the country leaders and guild leaders remained to organize the troops.

"Wilted! Tell me everything about these devils! What their power levels, elements, and skills are," John yelled. Hope's Knowledge didn't grant him information about these devils.

"Those devils are all eternal grades," Wilted informed. "The weakest is Mammon. He is level 95. His skills mostly use dark elements. Belphegor is level 96. He has the ice element. Asmodeus is level 97 and has the lightning element. Leviathan and Beelzebub are both level 98. Their elements are wind and earth, respectively. As for Satan, he is a level 99 devil with the fire element. However, you should know that... Wait! Don't use that book!"

Wilted shouted at Horatio, who was about to use the Book of the Damned. Horatio looked back at her puzzlingly.

"Don't use that book anywhere near those devils. That book is originally from the underworld. They could sense its presence once you use it. You will just make yourself their target," Wilted explained. Then to John, she said, "Tell all warlocks not to summon any demon-type creatures. Those devils could take control of them."

John relayed the information as fast as he could. While doing that, he asked Wilted, "You were saying something just now?"

"Yes. You should know that those devils don't just have a single elemental affinity. They also possess either a soul or chaos element. Aside from Satan, I can't tell which devil has which element. They are random. We must wait until they use a skill that exhibits those elements before we know."

"What? Why did you give them random features?" John complained. His hands never stopped operating the war table.

"It's not me! It's Chris. He said so he could feel the excitement of surprise when he played the game," Wilted replied.

"F*ck that Chris! I'm sorry. I don't mean to insult the departed, but f*ck that Chris!" John exclaimed.

"If that is your feeling, you won't like what I'm going to tell you next. They have some skills unique to them, but most of their other skills are also randomized based on their affinities and traits, and all of them are high levels."

"Shit... F*ck...! You said before, aside from Satan. So, you know what Satan's elements aside from fire?" John asked.

"Keep attacking! Valor will prevail...!!" Jeanny shouted, trying to rile up morale.

Satan finally made a move. He pulled his fire hammer back before making a full-round swing, a signature move of Whirlwind Slash, using only one hand. The swing produced a ring of fire that spread out. An invisible but powerful force followed the ring of fire. The wave brought about by this force swept those who tried flying up to escape the ring of fire. They tumbled in the air as the ring of fire burned their comrades on the ground.

"Harharhar! What a bunch of ants you are," Satan ridiculed.

Satan flapped his three pairs of flaming wings and produced multiple giant flaming hurricanes that moved randomly around him. These hurricanes sucked the soldiers who were in the vicinity and dealt continuous fire damage to them.

Two people and one techno golem forced their way through. They were Jeanny, Paytowin, and Brave King. Thin white light covered their bodies. These were Jeanny's Beacon of Hope which she had used to buff everyone before they engaged Satan.

Satan noticed the three who were flying toward him. He snickered. His mouth opened and a torrent of hot flames poured forth. These flames formed a huge pillar that could engulf the three.

"George!" Jeanny called.

Paytowin rushed ahead and activated his Unyielding Hope. He became invulnerable, using his body as a shield. The flames slammed into him. He was unhurt but he couldn't resist the pushback force. Brave King pressed Paytowin's body from behind and used its jetpack's propelling power. With Brave King pressing from behind, Paytowin was able to maintain his position, blocking the flame attack.

While Paytowin and Brave King halted Satan's attack, Jeanny rushed forward using her wings tool.

Satan was surprised that someone managed to come to right in front of his face, but his mocking grin never wavered. He saw Jeanny thrust her spear at his right eye. He let her.

Jeanny used Brave Thrust with her attack. Her spear generated a golden light that pierced forward. However, a translucent layer covered by runic symbols appeared between the spear and Satan's eye. This layer stopped Jeanny's spear. The golden light was unable to penetrate through.

When Satan was about to laugh again at her pitiful attempt, he suddenly found Jeanny's spear became a blur. Her spear stabbed again. Although it looked like one stab, Satan sensed multiple rapid strikes hit his protective runic layer at the same spot. As it did, he saw in disbelief a hole appeared in his protective layer. Jeanny's spear went right through that hole and stabbed into his eye.
