Chapter 56 The Past Ankias

Shana spun her staff in the air before slamming it on the ground. As soon as her staff and the ground connected, thick sharp ice sprouted out of the ground and spread around the area.

The ice was able to puncture multiple demons in the gut, leaving them to hang in the air while their blood dripped on their eyes

Sighing in relief, Shuna stood upright as she looked at the number of demons that her ice had killed all around her.

"Seems those were the last ones." She uttered, before walking over to Zeno who had a demon's head in his hand.

"Seems so." Zeno responded, looking to his upright left he could see a demon sitting on a chair with a smile on his face a bit further away.

"It's waiting for you." Shuna uttered with a smirk.

"Looks like it."

Zeno took one step forward and he was instantly transited to the Demon's front, but Shuna was still behind.

Her eyes widened in shock for a split second during Zeno's transition when she felt the demon's energy.

"It's not just a demon… that's a special class devil!" Shuna yelled before running so she could catch up with Zeno.

Zeno stood in front of the devil and showed no fear of its massive size, instead just stood there as he observed the devil.

"The Successor, I anticipated I'll be fighting an angel, but not the Successor." The devil said before standing up from the throne it was sitting on.

Standing upright, its height was 11ft up, and was massively built with red scorching marks all over its body.

Zeno whooshed to the sky to level with the devil so he could talk, "Mammon, one of the seven demons of hell." He voiced out.

Mammon grunted as its eyes glowed, "You would dare utter my name?" It asserted.

"Yes I would, I'm here to ask that you leave the people of this world and return to your domain, you don't belong here, I beg of you to do as I say, killing you is not my wish." Zeno requested but with a commanding tone also.

Mammon gave out a loud laugh before facing its throne and slamming its legs on the ground which immediately turned the throne into a giant blade.

"I find it insulting, you are not an archAngel, neither are you a god, or satan, not even the goddess, but you'd choose to give me an order… know your place!".

Whoosh!

With an insane speed, the demon swung its gaint blade at Zeno.

Zeno was barely able to block it, but just when the blade was about to hit him, Zeno put a small wall barrier on his hand which he used to block the strike.

But it still sent him flying to the ground, Zeno landed on his knee and immediately looked up to see Mammon.

Mammon had its mouth opened as a huge purple beam charged out of its mouth and straight at Zeno.

The beam destroyed everything in its path, burning and scorching anything it passes with force.

"Of course, it wants to push me to a corner." Zeno quickly stood up and raised his arm in front of him, leaving his middle finger pointed.

A red blast rushed out of his finger to counter the beam the demon sent his way, the two energy clashing against one another.

Although Mammon's beam was larger, Zeno's energy was still holding its own after switching from his finger to both hands.

The blast was causing all kinds of destruction to the area, the ground was collapsing on itself, trees were flying off their roofs and buildings were turning to ashes from the heat.

Not long after, Memmon's blast was starting to overwhelm Zeno, he was on his knees with his face turned to the ground as he struggled to push the blast back.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Zeno gave out a raging scream before standing back to his feet to add more energy, but that in itself was to no avail.

It seemed like the whole thing happened in a second, Memmon's blast unexpectedly overwhelmed Zeno and completely pushed his energy.

Leaving Zeno to take the huge purple beam head-on, the beam collided with Zeno, causing the whole place to explode.

"Zeno!"

Uta yelled as she ran toward Zeno's position at full speed, ignoring the huge explosion in front of her.

"No, what happened here." Yuno, the warrior Ankia uttered as she stared at the burning ground.

She looked exactly like Hina which wasn't a new thing, those who are choosing to become Zeno's servant always have the same facial features.

Haruto, the guardian Ankia, was assisting Shuna to her feet, it was the side effect of summoning the remaining Ankia.

It took a massive amount of energy for Shuna to summon all the Ankia so they could give Zeno a hand.

The Judgement Ankia, Levi frowned as she looked to Shuna, "What the hell were you thinking?" She yelled.

"The Successor has always been making suicidal decisions for himself, thinking he's helping us, but I expected better from you.

Going off on your own without telling the rest of us, what the heck Shuna?" She raged.

"Look I know you're upset, but right now, we have to focus on that."

Shuna uttered, turning her focus to the Demon standing a few feet away from them.

"It's a special class demon… just great." Levi sighed at the thought of them fighting against the demon.

Haruto laid Shuna's back on the ground and placed his hand on her head, "It's five against one, I'm sure we can hold our own." He uttered.

A bright blue light shone on his hand and he began to refill Shuna's magic powers back to her.

"Thanks, Haruto." Shuna said before standing to her feet with the assistance of her spear.

Once she was up, the first thing she did was raise her staff to the sky and a red light sparked which immediately caused all the fire in the area to be sucked into it.

The fire was cleared and the rest of the Ankia could see Uta with her blade, standing face-to-face with the demon while Zeno knelt behind her.
