LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 1025: Despair
-----
Everyone watched in awe as Mammon's pseudo–Divine Soul was shattered into countless pieces by the combined powers of Blake and everyone else. Blake's Divine Blade, a combination of his Spear, his Holy Light Sword, and all his Divinities to their very limits, finished off Mammon completely.
BOOOMMM!!!
The flames of silver, red, and golden color that engulfed his countless soul fragments devoured him completely, his very essence being absorbed by Blake's Divine Blade. And this was not just a piece of Mammon, the Archdemon of Greed had bet his entire soul into this moment.
This meant that back in Hell, his sealed body had become completely soulless, and the Ruler of the Layer of Greed had been completely eliminated!
Mammon's consciousness remained though, in the last few seconds of life he had as he was being devoured, he started to wonder where things went wrong…
"I'm really… dying?"
Crack…!
"But I… I am Mammon, the King of Greed…"
Crack, crack…! Explore more stories at m,v l'e-m|p y r
"To think I would… I would die like this…"
CRACK!
"I was able to obtain such a powerful vessel… I overtook the entire continent…"
Crack…
"This world, the fragment of heaven… it was going to become mine…"
"Why…?"
Crack, CRACK!
"If it weren't for him…"
"Asmodeus…!"
Crack, crack…!
"ALWAYS HIM!"
CRACK!
"ASMODEUSSSSS…!"
CRAAASH!
As Mammon died with frustration until the very end, his very soul seemed to stop existing, Blake ended devouring most of what wasn't destroyed on all the attacks, the Authority of Gluttony he had taken from Beelzebub's vessel giving him the power to absorb this even more easily.
"Ugh, this is too much though…!"
Blake quickly felt an annoying pain all over his soul, the amount of power Mammon's soul possessed was too much even for him right now. If he absorbed it all on his own, he would end up exploding into pieces.
However, it wasn't as if he had the right to give up on such power, he needed it, as much strength as possible to defeat Lucifer and every other threat that will get on his way! He gritted his teeth, as his body turned back to normal, falling from the skies.
FLUOSH!
The power of mammon was too much, even if he was dead, his powers possessed some of his personality, treacherous and parasitic! If Blake didn't overcome this power and absorbed it fully, his soul would end up being devoured instead.
"D-Dammit, arrgh!"
"Blake!"
However, in that moment, he heard Eleanora's voice, her presence surged from his body, both were fused already, their minds and souls aligned as one.
"I am here with you, our Souls are one!"
"Eleanora…!"
"I'll take upon the burden too!"
Her Aura surged, resembling two hands that constantly pushed and tried to compact Mammon's powerful soul essence.
RUMBLE!
However, it was not enough, as several sparks of demonic and divine spiritual energy erupted with each second.
Their efforts together were commendable, the power of Mammon started to become slightly weaker, being pushed back more and more.
"It's not enough?! Ugh…! This must be because of all the spirit power he stole from those people…!" Blake gritted his teeth, realizing he was already getting closer to the floor. "Vampire Spirits, come!"
With his last breath, he summoned all the Vampire Spirits using his powers, as they all appeared by his side and quickly jumped towards him.
"Lend me your strength…! {Spirit Fusion}!"
"All of us?!" Saphira cried.
"Won't it be dangerous?! Can you take all our power, master?!" Hendrick said.
"Are you insane?!" Woo screamed.
"I have enough power here to withstand all of you now, so come. QUICKLY!"
Blake and Eleanora could already feel their combined souls gaining cracks.
It was now or never, a fusion combining all their power together as one single being.
Something Blake had never tried before because of how it would just blow up his soul.
He lacked the energy and power to withstand their pressure.
But now, with Mamon's powers, he was confident he could take it!
"I trust master's resolve! Let's do it!" Fang roared.
"When he's as confident as now, it's obvious it will work!" Celestine said.
"Master, I will support you with my soul if needed!" Eriant said.
"Then let's do this." The cold Arkaxks nodded.
"Hahaha! Marvelous! I have never done such a thing before!" laughed Azahuk. "Master truly never disappoints me!"
All the Vampires became Spiritual Souls, fusing into Blake's body, an enormous flash of bright rainbow and crimson light erupted from his body, illuminating both the skies and the ground below.
FLAAASH!
…
Despite Mammon being defeated, the aberrations were still transformed, and his parasites were still inside their souls, Cattalina felt relieved Mammon died, but panicked the moment she saw the demonic aberrations waking up, ready to destroy everything again.
"No! It didn't work?!" she screamed. "Then how… How do we even save them?! Is there a way? Can we heal them with light magic? Wait, no, it hurts them, they would only die…"
As Cattalina was already on her limits, the Demonic Aberrations started standing up, Blake's Vampire Spirits had suddenly disappeared, and the swarms of monstrous demons started overrunning the entire city.
All of Blake's Familiars were already destroyed in the explosion, Bestellen was also unsummoned due to losing all his health, and Ruby and Blood had fallen unconscious.
RUMBLE!
Their footsteps combined made the entire city tremble, the building started falling apart one after another, like mindless and aberrant creatures, they started running towards the survivors, all of Blake's friends.
"W-What is that?!"
Eric panicked as he stepped out of the decaying titan of wood and metal, the entire being could only be summoned for at most half an hour.
"T-The Demons… the citizens aren't back to normal yet?!"
Alberta looked at the distance, stepping back in horror.
"But Mammon… he was defeated, wasn't he?!"
"N-No…"
Eric quickly dragged Alberta with him, both weakened and exhausted, they could only escape as they started running away from the incoming wave of gigantic monsters.
The citizens they met, the people that lived peacefully here, the children, the elderly, the men, and women, all of these people that were living their lives.
They were now horrid monsters, against their will, they would now feast and devour anything, even their own kind.
"RUN, ALBERTA!"
Eric carried Alberta, who was on a panic attack as the entities drew closer.
"But we worked so hard… Was it all for nothing?"
