Chapter 229: He Might Be Not Guilty
Still, Artemis was very afraid. Even though Juliet was not far away, Atlas was completely alone. The great goddess could not risk one of the ancient demons, or demons of the highest rank, emerging from the demonic passageway.
Her thoughts were not far off the mark.
Azazel, one of the highest-ranking demons, had already noticed the gate. The deaths of Xezbeth and the other two had reached the ears of the ancient demon, and this was enough to tell him that another gate was open somewhere else.
While Juliet’s attention was distracted, if Azazel could get out now, Atlas could put up a good fight, but he would be torn to pieces within five minutes at most.
Alright, this was a bit of an overestimation. Perhaps Atlas could manage to kill him. Though it would be an incredibly powerful, almost unbelievable feat, in a one-on-one battle, Atlas was currently one of the most deadly beings in the world, whether alive or dead.
In his previous life, he had been able to create a huge impact in a one-on-one battle and had even managed to corner Cosmo Mammon before killing him, when he was only in a state of twelve magic rings, which was technically several times weaker than his current state.
Azazel... He was a bit of an odd character. His power was not directly tied to darkness, but rather to the depth of darkness within people. At least, that was what was said about him.
Atlas, on the other hand, was a person who truly harboured a great deal of darkness and deep emotions within him.
This was precisely what made Azazel dangerous in his presence.
Atlas had to think about Artemis’ suggestion, interest, and words, and act on them by making the most of them.
That was why he began to breathe deeply and did his best to visualise the rune patterns in his mind.
The strike and destruction runes had two different rune patterns. Many runes were drawn inside a circle or square. This ensured that the rune pattern was deep and solid, but these two runes did not work that way.
