Sinner System-Chapter 562: Demon Lord Vaszel Vos Kealfaos (Part 6)

Point-of-View: Vaszel Vos Kealfaos

———————————————————————————

Hm, impressive. Despite their rage, they’re holding themselves back from attacking me blindly. But if I eliminate one of the stronger ones among them, I am certain at least a few of them will not be able to keep their composure.

Kaivel Intrix...I feel compelled to kill him last, I want him to witness his comrades falling one by one, before putting him out of his misery once he is the only one left.

Who should I target?

Ariella Velle is the most obvious choice, her death will certainly plunge him the deepest into rage and despair.

No, she should be the last one I kill before him. If I kill her while the others are still alive, he will not completely lose his spirit.

But if she is the last one I kill and leave him as the last one standing, that is sure to completely and utterly crush his spirit. In which case, my next target shall be...

"<Demonic Art: Pause>," I chanted with a smirk, before rushing forward as I froze time.

Cleo Nova, from what I’ve seen through the Dungeon Bosses, it seemed like she is quite close to him as well, so I shall kill her next and-...!

"What is this-...?" Kaivel Intrix’s voice rang out, my eyes widening in disbelief as my head snapped across, right as he trailed off and shot towards me.

How is he unaffected?!

My Pause Skill, it allows me to freeze time for five seconds, I can only use this ability once a day. And never, never have I ever seen anyone be unaffected by it!

But...it does not matter. For he will not reach me in time!

As I closed in on Cleo Nova, who was frozen in midair, I swung my spear across, slicing through her neck and severing her head, before I shot past her and spun across towards Kaivel Intrix as I came to a halt.

It’s a good thing I didn’t target Ariella Velle, after all...he was close enough to her current position that he would have been able to intercept me before I could reach her.

I do not know why he’s unaffected by Pause, but it does not matter...the others are sure to be thrown into disarray when they see that one of them has fallen in an instant, I shall make use of that confusion to kill another of them!

"What the...?!" Exclaimed Ariella Velle, as the effects of Pause reached their time limit and deactivated, Cleo Nova’s severed head and body plummeting and hitting the ground with a thud.

"No, how did-...?!" Blurted out Jaden Xeno, before abruptly trailing off as I shot towards him.

He assumed a defensive stance as I veered through the air, evading a volley of explosions, Negative Energy and Ether projectiles, drawing back my spear as I began to close in on him-...

"<Phoenix Resurrection>."

I was distracted as a searing eruption of flames burst out by where Cleo Nova’s corpse had landed, my eyes widening as she got back onto her feet, her head floating up and reattaching to her neck, her eyes opening once again.

Impossible, how-...?!

"[Telekinetic Push]!" Roared Jaden Xeno, firing a devastating wave of telekinesis as I crossed my Personalis Arma in front of myself defensively, grimacing as his attack launched me back through the air with immense speed.

I gritted my teeth before unleashing a burst of Negative Energy behind myself while simultaneously spreading out my wings to bring myself to a halt, lifting my gaze as Kaivel Intrix came charging towards me.

A frontal assault? Did me freezing time cause him to panic? Very well, then, I-...

I froze before shifting my gaze down as a fiery glow burst out of my shadow, Ariella Velle leaping out and driving her right fist up with a fierce roar of exertion, a piercing mass of flames swirling around her forearm and fist, before she propelled her strike with a burst of Negative Energy from her elbow, striking my chin with a vicious uppercut before I could react.

My head jerked straight up upon impact, dazing me as I stumbled back, my head spinning slightly.

"<Demonic Art: Disinte-...>!" I began, before she suddenly got low as Kaivel Intrix leapt over her and swung his blade down towards the top of my head.

I quickly raised Dimension Breaker up defensively, a sharp clang ringing out as I narrowly blocked his slash and began to drive my spear towards the middle of his throat.

"<Obliterate>."

My spear plummeted and hit the ground with a clatter as a bright flash of purple burst out, the right side of my torso wiped out, before I manifested Reflection in front of myself and sprang back as he drove his blade towards me, his forearm tensing sharply as his blade collided against the reflective wall, the impact traveling back through the blade and along his arm.

Curse Edge came flying back towards me as I regenerated, right as Kanine and Medusa sprang up on either side of me, unfurling a relentless barrage of strikes and slashes with their claws.

I blocked their attacks with my weapons, a few scratches and grazes briefly appearing across my skin as some of their attacks slipped through and nicked me, the pair steadily pushing me back.

As Medusa’s eyes began glowing, I whipped my spear across, slicing through her eyes and blinding her, grimacing as Kanine’s claws plunged into the left side of my neck. I quickly tensed the muscles in my neck to hold her hand in place, before she could pull her claws back out.

As she struggled to break free, I raised my tail and fired out a blast of Disintegration, wiping out her head before spinning across as she faded away and swung my spear down as Medusa drove her claws towards me, splitting her skull in half.

Suddenly, the Dark Elf and Raixel swooped down towards me, right as a pair of hands extended out of my shadow and grabbed my ankles as I began to turn my gaze up.

As I glanced down before I could stop myself, the two of them closed in on me and grabbed my arms, right as a deep red glow blanketed the area.

"Let’s see you survive this, asshole. [Explosion Nova]!" Roared Ciel Campbell as she swung her arm down, launching a large, massive sphere of explosive energy towards me...
