Chapter 265
This was the moment Agares had been waiting for.
In the past, there was talk of a demon sword hidden away by Solomon. At one point, Agares had read a passage from the law of the Core.
“Where the star has fallen lies Apophis in slumber.”
Apophis possessed the power to absorb life. Now, Agares had passed the trial of the “place where the star fell.” The demon sword, Apophis, was embedded in the ground as if it had been struck by a meteor, creating a deep crater. Although the sword’s malice nearly consumed Agares, he was ultimately acknowledged as its master.
With a loud crackle, an electric current surged through the sword. Moments later, an eye appeared on the blade.
Apophis was an artifact with a will of its own—a demon sword that scorned the weak and devoured their life force in an instant. Reading the sword’s stats, Agares burst into laughter.
Then, the ground shook as if hit by an earthquake.

Meanwhile, Kiriel, observing the scene from a distance, rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Agares was the second-strongest demon under Solomon. He was clearly an enemy of Kiriel. Now that Agares had obtained the demon sword Apophis, the situation was undoubtedly dire.
What’s he going to do next? Kiriel wondered.
With Apophis, the ultimate weapon for demons, Agares was now more powerful than ever.
Recently, Agares had been gathering an army, and now that Apophis was in his hands, he had little to fear—besides Baal and Imfelheim, who stood as an unshakable top two. While surpassing them to claim the top spot seemed impossible, Agares could easily eliminate anyone beneath him if he so desired.
