Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward!-Chapter 290: Stronger Again? Loros’s Helplessness
If there was one thing Raphael, a Mythic Rank Demon genius of the Demon Clan, could never forget, it was the experience on the frontline battlefields.
He would never forget that human named Aiden, who used a long sword to slice open his chest, pull out his heart, and put it in his mouth.
Just thinking about those scenes filled Raphael with a terror he couldn’t describe.
Now, seeing the Slaughter Demon’s left hand also gripping a long sword, Raphael’s face turned dark with fear.
"I’m not sure if I’m imagining it, but this sword feels strangely familiar," Raphael thought.
He took a deep breath, forcing the thought out of his mind.
The torture Aiden had inflicted had been so intense at the time that he hadn’t even had a chance to look closely at the sword.
Besides, the figure before him now was a Slaughter Demon, not a human like Aiden.
The two had nothing to do with each other.
"I’m letting Aiden get to me too much. This Slaughter Demon is truly despicable for holding a sword so similar to Aiden’s!" Raphael’s eyes burned with murderous intent.
Then, he saw the Demon named Aelris waving the sword in his hand. He spoke up:
"Remember, we are in the Abyss Heartspire. If you attack me here, aren’t you afraid of causing major trouble?"
Before Raphael could answer, Draw sneered,
"You’re only just now getting scared?"
"Don’t worry. This is the outer city of Heartspire. There are barely any soldiers or Abyss creatures keeping order here."
"Besides, Lord Ethan is also in Heartspire. You must have heard his name. You should give up resistance while there’s still time!"
Raphael nodded. In the Demon Clan, Demon Duke Ethan was incredibly notorious.
If the Slaughter Demon gave up, things would be much easier for them.
Of course, no matter what happened, to eliminate any future threats, the Slaughter Demon, that human woman, and that succubus Alice all had to die!
Just as Raphael was thinking this, he suddenly saw the Slaughter Demon on the opposite side smile in a very unnatural, obvious way.
"So, it’s just that guy Ethan? That’s great!" Aiden smiled.
He had originally thought it might be a Demon Grand Duke or even a Demon God from the Demon Clan who had arrived in Heartspire.
In that case, his best choice would have been to maintain his Slaughter Demon identity and save Hazel.
But now, the situation was completely different.
A level 90 Demon Duke? The threat he posed to Aiden was almost negligible.
It wasn’t that Aiden was underestimating Ethan too much; it was simply that he had such confidence.
Except for the Abyss Demon God and those special Abyss creatures who could use skills to lock space, as long as Aiden wanted to leave, he could safely escape thanks to the blessing of the Supreme Miko.
"Why are you laughing?" Raphael couldn’t help but ask. He felt this Slaughter Demon must be crazy to be smiling under these circumstances.
But in the next instant, his confusion instantly turned into pure terror.
The Slaughter Demon, Aelris, gently tossed his long sword into the air and said calmly:
"I’m laughing because I can finally resume the judgment from last time!"
Hearing these words, Raphael’s pupils shrank violently. He shouted loudly,
"Who exactly are you?"
Aiden didn’t answer. Instead, he quickly extended his right hand. The Abyss Flame Demon staff, which he had prepared earlier, instantly flared with blinding light.
At the same moment, his body underwent a sudden change, reverting to his original form.
"I am the nightmare you can never escape!" The smile vanished from Aiden’s face, replaced by a cold tone.
This time, he held nothing back. He immediately activated the effects of his Abyss Flame Demon staff and unleashed his Mythic Rank ability, Divine Golden Sunflame!
Having just broken free from Shadow Stealth, the Divine Golden Sunflame he released was enhanced by shadow magic, boosting its power by 20%!
Of course, there were other buffs in play as well.
With absolutely no reservations, Aiden’s only goal was simple: kill these three Mythic Rank Demon geniuses as quickly as possible!
As the blinding golden fire raged in the sky, Raphael, Draw, and Loros’s first instinct wasn’t to fight back. It was to run.
Especially Raphael. He could feel his heart pounding wildly. Fear of death had completely overtaken his mind.
"The Slaughter Demon was Aiden in disguise!"
"Run! Run fast! I can’t beat him!" Raphael felt like everything was a dream.
He truly felt trapped in the nightmare Aiden had described, facing his worst fear.
Just a moment ago, after getting a new heart, his strength would have soared even higher with a little more time.
But fate played a cruel joke. It made him run into that terrifying human, Aiden, right here in the Abyss Heartspire.
"Go find Lord Ethan!" Raphael had zero desire to fight. That terrifying golden fire lit up the dark street like a god’s punishment.
However, the moment he turned to flee, a horrific cold ice suddenly appeared, drastically slowing his movement. The ground froze solid, becoming unnaturally hard.
Then, Faye’s figure materialized out of nowhere. She opened her mouth wide and let out a deadly dragon roar!
Soul shock!
Raphael’s fleeing body froze in place.
His eyes held absolute despair. He knew full well: if he got trapped, death awaited him without a doubt.
Right after unleashing his Ultimate Frost, Aiden didn’t pause for a second. He immediately fired another Wood Elemental Arrow!
Dozens of emerald-green arrows flew instantly, striking the Raphael who was still under the influence of Soul Shock, pinning him in place.
However, Draw and Loros had already shaken off the Soul Shock’s effect. Without a moment’s hesitation, they chose to abandon Raphael.
Draw’s face was twisted in pure panic. His body began to decompose, trying to transform into insects so he could flee at high speed.
Meanwhile, Loros was running away as fast as he could while splitting his right arm into black vines, trying to block Aiden’s attack.
But why would Aiden let them go so easily?
"By the way, I got those Legendary Rank equipment pieces recently and haven’t used them yet. Let’s try them out on you!" Aiden immediately activated the Psychic Bracelet’s effect.
By permanently consuming 500 Spirit points, he could lock onto a target and trap them inside the Mindspace.
As long as the target wasn’t harmed, they would lose control of their bodies and the ability to perceive the outside world until they escaped the Mindspace.
Aiden instantly chose Draw as his target.
When the Psychic Bracelet emitted a faint white glow, Draw’s body—which hadn’t completely turned into insects yet—suddenly froze in place.
Now, only Loros remained capable of movement. He couldn’t believe it; in such a short time, that human named Aiden had become so much stronger!
This was absolutely terrifying!
Loros never expected that he and Raphael, along with Draw, would find it so incredibly difficult to just escape.
Just as Loros thought this, a crack suddenly appeared in the space beside him.
Then, a massive suction force erupted from that pitch-black rift, causing his body to jerk to a sudden halt.
"Damn it, that’s not a Scorpion-Tailed Demon skill!" Loros’s face went pale, and he instinctively shouted out loud.
Gritting his teeth, he instantly split his limbs into a dense swarm of black vines, stabbing them deep into the ground to try and stop himself from being sucked into the rift.
But this backfired immediately. By anchoring himself, his body was forced to stay still for much longer.
With the Abyss Flame Demon staff lighting up again, a series of Legendary Rank elemental arrows condensed rapidly, flying straight toward the motionless Loros.
Loros’s eyes widened in terror. He knew there was no way to escape safely now.
It wasn’t that he was too weak; it was just that Aiden’s power had grown too fast!
"Let’s go for broke!" Without a second thought, Loros gave up on resisting the rift’s pull. Instead, he used his black vines to actively pull himself faster into the space crack.
His only hope now was to gamble. He planned to use his vines to briefly stun Aiden the moment he got close, buying himself time to escape.
Loros had no thought of saving his comrades or trying to defeat Aiden.
It wasn’t cowardice. He knew that even the slightest mistake or accident would lead to an unimaginable end.
In the blink of an eye, Loros’s body skimmed past the elemental arrows and vanished into the rift.
His heart was pounding wildly. He kept thinking to himself: "The moment I pop out, Aiden will definitely use Smoke Form again like before. I need to act surprised and mislead him!"
"That’s the only way I can try to control him, and then... run!"
Without Draw or Raphael by his side, he had no confidence he could actually hurt Aiden.
Time passed in a flash. After agonizingly waiting, Loros finally emerged from the rift right in front of Aiden.
But before he could even start his feint attack, Aiden suddenly raised his Abyss Flame Demon staff and smashed it straight down at his head!
