Chapter 135 Spirits.
A giant demon created havoc in the vast ice field that was as vast as the pacific ocean. The demon had dark ash skin with a burning bright red flame inside his stomach. He held a battle axe that was lit by the same flame inside his body, and that flame was stronger than [Hellfire].
"I'm the King! And I'll kill whoever walks into my territory!" The demon screamed and cracked the solid ice field. "With a snap of my fingers, I'll bring the sea of flame and nobody has ever survived it!" He continued as he snapped his fingers.
It was as he said that a sea of flames appeared right behind him and covered the whole ice field with it almost instantly. it was at that moment they felt pain from the flame, and that was enough to tell that the demon was way stronger than the Gods of Earth.
"Belial, Lord of Arrogance. The strongest King of Hell," Amaryllis said as she bathed in the flame and was unaffected by it. "His strength is almost on the same level as the Princess of Hell," Amaryllis pointed out.
"This is a warm welcome. Who wants to fight him?" Aurea asked as she looked at Jeanne and the others. "Sisters, why don't you test your power against him first? We want to know if you struggle to fight him," Aurea suggested as she looked at Zherlthsh and the others.
"My Hellfire is useless against him, and if I'm relaying on my whip sword then it's going to be an easy win for me," Zherlthsh pointed out as her skin started to burn.
"Fight him with only your own strength. Amaryllis will analyze your capabilities and she will help you get stronger after," Mykel said and dispersed the flame and thick mist around him with a simple wind magic.
Zherlthsh and the other Demon Princesses used their true form and flew toward Belial. They didn't hesitate to use everything they got to fight him, but he was indeed strong that somehow managed to overpower the ten of them.
It was a surprise for Jeanne and the others since they hadn't experienced fighting with demons when they were going to war against The Lord. They only dealt with angels, and since the angels lost during the rebellion that Lucifer led, that was given how powerful those fallen angels were.
"To put it simply, the fallen angels were the elites among elites of all the angels. Looks like the difference between the Demon Kings and the Princes of Hell are like cats and tigers," Rozan said as he watched the Demon Princesses struggle to fight Belial even though they were already in their true form.
"No, that's not the case here," Amaryllis replied as she analyzed the fight. "Most of the Demon Princesses' power originates and is only effective inside our world. To put it simply, they lost half of their power because of it," Amaryllis explained.
"But that shouldn't be a problem once you take over this world, right?" Bhatmelec asked as she looked at Amaryllis.
"This is the reason why," Elena said as she showed a creature that looked like a demon, but it didn't have the presence of a demon. They were in fact releasing an aura of holiness which confused Jeanne and the others. "This thing and thousands of them came to help Belial. They're called Legion of Spirits," Elena pointed out.
"Legion of Spirits? What's that?" Jeanne asked.
"Demon is created from evil spirits, spirits that have been cursed by Lucifer or other fallen angels. These spirits are originally the spirits of the ones who have made deals with them at the beginning of time," Amaryllis answered. "These spirits are older than Earth itself, that's why they're powerful since they were originally not humans when they were alive," Amaryllis continued.
"Now the Legion of spirits are spirits that haven't been blown into a living body. They were taken by Lucifer and the other fallen angels during the rebellion. Spirits that are as pure as angels, but as weak as infants. They're not as strong as the evil spirits, but they have high potential and growth that can surpass evil spirits," Amaryllis explained.
"So they were kidnapped and enslaved?" Rozan asked.
"Yes, they're innocent beings that have lost their way because a real spirit has no consciousness unlike angels, and they will follow every order that's given to them," Amaryllis answered.
"Can they become an angel?" Lillith asked out of curiosity.
"They totally can, and that's the purpose of why Lucifer and the other fallen angels brought these spirits back with them. They want to raise them and nurture them and turn them into angels, and so far, these legions of spirit have surpassed the legions of demons even though they're still called The Inferior," Amaryllis answered after she read the spirit's memories.
"Don't tell me you're already planning of doing that to them?" Aurea stared at Mykel.
"Don't look at me. I'm not the one who's planning on doing that, and I'm not the one who's going to handle that. Amaryllis was the one who proposed that to me, and she wanted to do it her way," Mykel said and could feel Aurea's gaze even without looking at her. "I'm letting her do whatever she wants, and as long as it will benefit me, I have no reason to decline it," Mykel added.
They looked at the spirit that had been shaped into a demon appearance. They felt pity because of how tragic it was for spirits who didn't know anything to be brought down to hell and forced to do whatever they were told by the fallen angels.
"Jeanne, Brynhilde, Nagy, and Bhatmelec, would you guys help me teach these spirits and make them into fine soldiers? Soldiers with freedom just like how Mykel treated us all?" Amaryllis asked as she looked at the four of them.
"I would love to," Jeanne answered with a smile.
