Chapter 320: Demonic Hand
"Who’s that?" The Crimson Hood turned toward the ceiling to see a dark man and a black cat floating.
Bash’s fist hit the face of the Crimson Hood and sent him flying into the crowd of Red Keepers.
"That is my master." Bash grunted.
He picked up speed and charged into the cultists. Wind carried his feet and Charge quickened his steps. He used Omnimotion to make him even lighter, increasing his speed even more.
The Demon turned into a blur and just right before he hit the cultists, Omnimotion made him as heavy as he could be.
Bash crushed the cultists under his feet.
The Crimson Hood Leader and the other Crimson Hoods raised their hands. A wall of pure Chaos emerged and blocked Bash.
But it was as fragile as glass in front of him. The Chaos Wall shattered into pieces as Bash rushed as them.
The Crimson Hoods teleported away in vortexes of fire, dodging the attack just in time.
"Oh? Demonic Teleportation. The same spell Solarix had."
But their Demonic Teleportation was limited. They teleported only ten meters away from Bash and it took a toll on all of them.
"Please, Lord Demon! Stop this internal conflict! We have greater enemies out there."
Bash growled. "Surrender or die!"
The Demon jumped up. He burst through the ceiling and flew to the sky.
"Slam!" Bash’s heavy body shot straight down.
Hellfire covered his entire body. Carrying Wind and Omnimotion made his move even deadlier.
As he touched the ground, an explosion of Hellfire enveloped the warehouse. The cultists screamed in pain as they died off one by one.
"Tch. Tch. Tch." Crow clicked his tongue. "Bash is a menace to society."
He flicked his finger. Another shadow split out from him. This wasn’t Water Clones, this was his trustworthy Nether Spider.
But she was in her Abomination Form.
The spider wore a trench coat and fedora just like Crow and she had two sharp white eyes.
"They’re yours." Crow manifested a Nether Spear and threw to the spider.
The spider nodded and grabbed the spear. She rushed into cultists.
Nether Spider could now use Abomination Form and inherited Crow’s own combat experiences. It was basically him without his fancy powers.
Crow raised his hand. A Nether Beam shot out and killed a Crimson Hood immediately.
As a Rank-2 Being, Crow could finally use Mater’s Rank-2 Spells. He had Octagram Chaos Eyes and Nether Beam as his Rank-2 Pact Spells.
"You know what. I might create too many servants now. I don’t even need to do anything."
The black cat lay flat in the air and floated freely. He held the Shifting Fire Wand and would occasionally create a Demonic Fire explosion here and there.
"Lord Demon isn’t hearing us. We need to leave now!" The Crimson Hood Leader led the cultists outside.
The earth suddenly raised up and blocked all the exit. That was Sparrow’s handiwork.
"What the?" A Red Hood froze as he saw an Infernal Ray blasted into the window and killed him in one shot.
Outside the air was another demon. Female this time. She had a pair of bat wings and was incredibly beautiful. The Red Hoods were hypnotized just by looking at her. She was the incarnation of their beliefs and lust.
"This must be an attack from another branch! We cannot let our faith waver!"
The Crimson Hood Leader gave up on running away and turned back to Bash. The Brute Demon was massacring his men.
"Forgive me, Lord Demon."
The Crimson Hood swirled his hand. A ball of hellfire shot at Bash. It exploded but didn’t even scratched his exoskeleton.
Bash was holding a Red Hood in his hand. He turned back, unbothered, and squinted his eyes.
"Haha..." The Crimson Hood Leader sweated.
While the cultists were busy dealing with his servants, Mater approached the large pentagram.
"Large scale Demonic Ritual. These are the handiworks of the hell of fire alright.
Previous was the hell of brine. Then there is the hell of fire. Am I going to see the other hells eventually There was a Fate User here as well. Hells and heavens really are fighting over this world, huh?"
In the middle of the pentagram was the fingerless hand.
"This thing... I wonder."
Mater spat out the five fingers he had collected. They flew to the hand and attached themselves into it, creating a perfect demonic hand.
Demonic Power pulsed as the hand came to life.
"This Xara was killed. But whoever killed ger didn’t do their job entirely. They only separated her body. A Rank-4 Hand is a pretty good component to make a Demonic Artifact..."
Mater licked his lips greedily. If it was a true Rank-4, he would get the hell out already. But if it was just a hand, he had no worries at all.
Mater opened his mouth. His Chaos flooded out like ocean and enveloped the demon hand.
The Crimson Hood Leader looked over.
"That! The cat completed Xara’s hand! Do not let it take the hand!"
The Leader created a smoke cloud to disengage from Bash. He ignored his well-being and teleported repeatedly to Mater.
He didn’t even come close. Black chains shot out from Crow’s hand and wrapped around the Leader, it stopped him from teleporting.
Crow grabbed his head and slammed it onto the floor.
"Do not bother my Master!" Crow said calmly.
The Leader tried to resist but it was futile.
"How?! You’re only a Minor Rank-2."
The Leader couldn’t believe what was happening. A Minor Rank-2 Demon swept his men easily. Now another unknown being was also able to restrain him with ease. He felt like his Hazard power was useless.
"You’re a Psychic, huh? You’re only replicating spells, not actually creating them. Beside, we aren’t human..."
Crow’s white mouth opened wide. He looked directly into the leader’s eyes.
"You! You’re from the Abyss..." The Leader was able to utter a few words before being consumed by Terror.
Crow just used Nether Terror-Break on the Leader. He was now facing his deepest fear inside his own mind. His entire face was filled with dark veins speading from his eyes.
Crow read all of his memories.
"Found you..." Crow learned many locations of the Red Keepers.
