Chapter 718 Elfriedden's Resolve

-----

"YOU DAMN PESTS!"

CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

A huge gorilla-like demon, with enormous bulking arms covered on black and red fur and crowned with several red horns rushed across the battlefield, crushing the huge insects that threatened his army.

However, no matter how many he punched away, more and more kept crawling outside of that pitiful territory they were going to conquer today.

"What is happening?! Where are all these weird monsters coming from?" He wondered. "Lord Satan assured us that our victory would be swift! This Kingdom of humans was already falling... Why, why are these beings coming and attacking us out of nowhere?!"

"Milord!" A monkey demon rushed to the Demon Lord. "Lord Kong!"

"What is it?!" The gorilla roared angrily.

"T-The Summoner! It is the SUMMONER! He's coming with his allies to kill us and- Huh?!"

However, before the monkey could continue speaking, frost-made threads wrapped around his body and swiftly, and tightly pressed on his entire body, freezing him.

"G-Geeaaagghh...!"

Crack... crack...

CRAAASH!

"What the...?!"

And then, he shattered into pieces, all in the span of just a second! Kong was left flabbergasted, his eyes furious as they glanced at the perpetrator of such atrocity!

It was a young, handsome blue haired elf wearing a black suit, with a serious, expressionless face. His eyes gleamed with bright blue light...

"YOUUUU!"

"So you're the Demon Lord over here?" Elfriedden laughed. "Looks like I have found you first. Good, prepare yourself, demon. I won't have any mercy."

"What can a tiny weakling like you do against my hulking muscles anyways?!" Roared Kong with utter fury. Much like the other Demon Lords present here, they all served the Archdemon of Wrath, Satan. "RAAAAAHH!"

His huge fists were imbued with a black colored demonic aura, surging constantly with greater power, attempting to crush Elfriedden into pieces with such hue fists, both as big as whole carriages.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAAASSSH!!!

Three fist attacks were followed by a larger, more furious hammer strike using both fists at once, but all of the ended hitting the air or the ground, as Elfriedden flew around using wyvern wings acquired from Blake's Buff Card.

"You're slow and strong, that's all there is to it." Elfriedden said pridefully. "I'll kill you and show Blake and the rest that I am not a pushover! [Skadi's Thread]! [Permafrost Crystal Needle]!"

He summoned both of his Spirits once more, the Skadi's Thread, which was made out of ice, and the Permafrost Crystal Needle, a needle made of hardened crystalized ice.

Both combined together, as they flew around Kong, piercing his hulking muscles and covering the wounded area with frost.

"RUBBISH!"

Kong gave a roar, his muscles quickly tightened and then released steam, the frost was quickly melted away and destroyed!

"Hah! As if your pitiful spirit could do a single thing to me!" Kong laughed. "You pathetic humans, elves, and dwarves are all the same! Weaklings that always depend on your spirits to do anything... You lack strength!"

CRAAAAASSSSHH!!!

A huge fist reached Elfriedden, crushing him on the ground, his entire body shattering into pieces... But no blood came out either, it was merely an ice statue!

"What?!" Kong realized it a bit too late, but he was within Elfriedden's domain!

"Surprised?" Elfriedden appeared much farther away, several new clones made of ice emerged around him. "This is my [Winter's Domain], a power I learned and mastered through my childhood. Within this domain, as long as it is ice, I can make anything."

"JUST PETTY TRICKS!" Kong wasn't someone to think too hard, his huge arms and legs punched and kicked all of Elfriedden's attacks.

From icicle spears, to clones that exploded into ice, to his own spirits wrapping around his body to deal damage... nothing worked!

"I can't even damage him?!" Elfriedden felt shocked. "But I've tried almost anything... This Demon Lord's body is incredibly hard. If only I had some way to lower his defensive stats..."

"You're lowering your guard!!!" Kong laughed, a fist quickly reached Elfriedden!

CRAAAAASSSH!

However, it only hit a spider-web shaped mass of icy threads, which quickly exploded into frost, covering Kong's arm and hand, and freezing them over.

"URGH! BASTARD...!" Kong roared furiously, rushing towards Elfriedden again while freeing his arm from the ice really quickly. "You can't keep running!"

Suddenly his Aura spread out like a huge hand, grabbing Elfriedden as he flew away, catching him, and then pushing him down into the ground!

"UNGH?!"

CRAAAAAASSSSH!!!

"GAAAAGGH...!"

The young elf vomited a mouthful of blood, feeling a few of his bones shattering, even with the buffs of Blake's Buff Cards!

"T-This is... Ungh...!" Elfriedden desperately stood up, jumping away a split of a second earlier before Kong's enormous body were to hit the ground right where he was!

BAAAAAAMMMM...!

"RAAAAH!"

Elfriedden used the power of his Buff Cards, as his body grew icy scales, a draconic tail, and even stronger and bigger wings, his eyes glowing with draconic power, as he opened his jaws and unleashed a dragon breath of pure ice!

TRUUUUUUUMMMMM...!

However, Kong laughed, punching the beam of pure frost energy with his two fists imbued with demonic energy, completely negating Elfriedden's attack!

"I-Impossible...!" Elfriedden felt shocked. "I am not strong enough to fight a Demon Lord yet?!"

"HAHAHAHA! PERISH!"

Kong used this opportunity when Elfriedden was filled with disbelief to hit him as hard as he could with his fists!

"You're not supposed to fight them alone, dumbass!"

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

An explosion of burning flames reached Kong's arms, as he screamed in agony and surprise, stepping back seconds before he would had crushed Elfriedden for good.

But that wasn't all, two other figures quickly attacked the huge gorilla demon, of over twenty meters of height, with powerful slashing attacks and kicks and punches into his pressure points!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"URGH...! MORE PESTS...?!" Kong groaned, stepping back, and glaring at the group that had arrived with utter frustration.

"You? So you've caught up to me at the end..." Elfriedden sighed.

"Of course we have!" Chris said angrily. "What the heck are you doing, fighting all alone?!"

"If we didn't hurry up, you might have ended dead." Sighed Fang.

"Stupid kid!" Woo angrily said.
