Chapter 374: Gavid lindman vs Astaroth (1)
The Throne Hall trembled as two SS+ class auras clashed violently, each vying for dominance.
Astaroth, the proud 19th-ranked High Demon, found himself shaken when his hand passed through Gavied Lindman as if striking a ghost, not a man of flesh and blood.
But it didn’t end there. Gavied rematerialized just as Astaroth passed through him—and with his revealed Aether blade, he slashed the demon cleanly, drawing black blood that splattered across the floor. Astaroth immediately retreated, his body crackling with gray lightning.
"That’s strange... Astaroth."
With confident steps and a storm of SS+ aura exploding around him, Gavied advanced. His eyes were pitch black—identical to Astaroth’s own—and his long coat fluttered violently in the wake of the power shaking the chamber.
Raising his sword, he aimed it at the demon.
"You always claimed to be above us. That our power could never reach you. So tell me now..."
"Why the hell did you run?"
Provoked by those words, Astaroth’s face darkened with fury, veins pulsing across his forehead.
"You damned traitor!!"
Unleashing a thunderous surge of lightning, Astaroth blew apart parts of the throne hall and charged at Gavied in a flash, striking with terrifying speed. Gavied raised his Aether to block, but the force of impact launched him backwards.
