The sound of blades clashing against something solid rang across the battlefield as Rhys and Cade clashed with Stingè.Using Cade 's huge body as an obstruction, Rhys said switched weapons. The two {Hand of Midas} handguns appeared in his hands.Cade ducked to the side, revealing Rhys, who had Stingè locked in."Eat metal, bastard!"Rhys fired two heavy rounds at Stingè. The golden bullets tore through the air at speeds far exceeding the speed of sound, reaching the Demon in a fraction of a second."Idle World."The bullets smashed against an invincible barrier without even touching the hem of Stingè's garment.Rhys gritted his teeth as he let loose a barrage of shots, providing cover for Cade who charged in through the hail of bullets...Hundreds of magic circles appeared around him, and {Flaming Hounds} straight from the hottest pits of hell burst forth, charging at Stingè with bloodlust dripping from their fangs."Idle Slash."An invincible slash that seemed to cut through the worl

The air was immediately saturated with thick motes of darkness...Cade , who was about to rush in once again, paused in his tracks...Stingè stared at Rhys, surprise on his face,"A devil? No... It was a human before. However, it is already in the beginning stages of corruption..."Rhys couldn't understand Stingè's words, and that was because he had completely lost it."Rhys! Get it together!" Cade yelled. However, Rhys was too far gone. His mind was being consumed by Devil Essence.Although Devil Essence was very powerful, it was a power that could induce rot and corruption. The reason for the downfall of the uncountable worlds that the Devils have invaded was this nature of corruption.What Rhys was experiencing was very similar to the way a {Miasma Devil} created {Zombies}. It slowly corrupted a planet and its inhabitants, absorbing all life, and turning it into a dead world.Humans, or mutant beasts that were affected by Devil Essence would begin to mutate slowly until they adopte

With a loud roar, the deal dragon leaped into the sky, carrying Stingè with it. The torrent of energy continued to rise and rise until it had reached a tremendously high altitude.The miniature sun finally exploded into an immensely powerful conflagration, that was just as, if not more powerful than an {Imploding Star} charged with a {Vampiric Star}.'Dark Dragon, Ascending' in itself wasn't an attack. Rather, it provided the means for Rhys to attack a target continuously, allowing him to dish out numerous attacks in quick succession.As the Dark Dragon made them airborne, Rhys didn't hesitate to launch an endless barrage of sword strikes. Stingè had a strange expression contorting his monstrous, yet graceful visage as he blocked all of Rhys's blows with a pitch-black spear he had summoned from nowhere.Cade launched himself into the sky like a missile. With a loud roar, he smashed his heel towards Stingè's midsection. A crisp noise traveled through the air as Cade 's muscular leg sma

"There isn't that much of a difference between Tiers 0 and 1. You have more stats, and your spells and skills are more powerful, but that's all it amounts to. You aren't unbeatable..."Stingè was silent for a while before he burst out laughing,"You have certainly done your research. Yes, the difference between a Tier 0 and a Tier 1 isn't very great. However..."A wicked, seemingly boundless gust of energy exploded out of the {Hand of Stingè}."However, that would only be true if you were dealing with an ordinary Tier 1. I can tell that you both are monsters even amongst the Tierless. However, just know that where there are monsters, there are monsters amongst monsters. Experience and feast your eyes on greatness in the flesh, human fools..."The world trembled as Stingè took a step forward...Cade 's eyes widened. His body tilted forward slightly before it disappeared. He made a high-speed beeline straight for Stingè.Swinging the blade, a sharp wave of energy shot out at Cade , reac

Rhys dropped to his knees, his entire body covered with blood...Not too far away from him stood Cade . However, his condition was just as bad as Rhys's. His entire body was filled with cuts and holes so deep, you could see through them.'Damn it!' Rhys gritted his teeth as blood and pieces of minced organs flowed out of his parted lips.Standing a few meters away was Stingè. He held onto a pitch-black spear. His wings were also flapping gently behind him as he hesitated above the ground.An evil, wicked smile hung on his lips as he stared down at Rhys and Cade ..."Is this all you both could pull off? I'm quite disappointed."What made Stingè so dangerous, was not only the fact that he was an entire Tier and an extra fifty-plus levels above them, but also that his skillset was one of the most deadly Rhys had witnessed, or he thought he would witness in his lifetime.This Demon was truly special...The only other creature Rhys had come across with an affinity with the spatial element
