Chapter 288: Inner Demons [1]

Oh shit… we made it guys, I finally reached my peak Edge lord persona! Black hair, demonic or shadow powers. What can I say I never picked up the Edge lord persona it chose me and to be honest I kinda love the freaking hell of it. Hold on… my usual self won’t admit that- Holy shit! I am evil there’s no way I’d be this arrogant and prideful, no!!!

[System: The mini-boss <[Uriel of Chastity]> had entered her second phase becoming <[Keeper of virtues]>

Status: Your very existence is overwhelmed as you stand before not one but three heavenly virtues

Outcome: Due to the heavenly opponent being stronger your demonic skills are lowered by 40%]

[This is bad! How exactly did you plan on fighting an archangel with three virtues? You do have a contingency plan, right?]

’Nope, I never foresaw this, but even if they combine their virtues it’s no biggie, didn’t I tell you these angels sacrifice their weakest? Their virtues are a burden even in the eyes of the other archangels seeing as these two weren’t created for combat. The other four, on the other hand, are built for war, I kinda predicted this a while back, after it was confirmed there are archangels,’

[Then how do you expect to win-]

“Demon King!!!” Uriel poured lots of her newfound power into creating dozens of sentient angelic spears that pursued her foe

’Save it for later! I gotta focus on this for the most part. I’m serious Sage don’t even open your mouth I need to focus,’

[Morris- sigh… forget it]

The darkness coming from the stormy clouds vanishes for a moment as dozens become hundreds in mere seconds. Christoper flew down out of their reach but he gave up the thought after spotting the spear’s rising speed. He couldn’t escape one and a hundred is overkill so he decided to counter the impending collision

“Abyssal spear bombardment-” Uriel cuts him off as she appears behind his back and as he narrowly escapes death she manages to clip his wings

“There’s no escape no!!!” As the spears punctured Christoper she felt the need to swing her mace and she was correct for a spell nearly struck her rear

“Tch… you slippery snake!! Show yourself cowar- krrieeek!!!”

“Surprise!!!” Christoper sends plummeting as the two descend to where it all began this place he dubbed the bloody theme park

“I can’t believe you busted my wings do you know how long the bloody cooldown for this function is? No matter, I just brought you here so we can finally continue our bout, and look my friends are done with the wave. If you’re thinking I can bring them here then sorry to say I’m also penalized even though I want to I’ll have to fight you by myself,”

The devices within the bloody theme park heed his call as he evokes a phrase he’d been meaning to say. “Demonic ascension,”

[System: You’ve triggered a hidden function yet to be applied to <[Diabolus Ex-machina] due to a requirement not being met

Status: The Ex-machina core is reacting to the call of player Christoper Morris desiring the restoration of the golem <[Diabolus]>

Outcome: The core is now collecting any spare material to formulate the command of player Christoper Morris]

[What the hell is happening?]

“It’s my transformation phase!!!” Although the effect was in play its pace was slower compared to the spears Uriel is spamming at every second

“What the hell this is cheating! Why can’t I attack her when she’s transforming but she can when it’s me? Now this is favoritism,” Just when his transformation would fail the spears and the ray of light she fired to smite Christoper was interrupted by a third party

“Keep firing those spells!!!” Yuri, the alter egos, and the familiars aided him in his most vulnerable moment as they incapacitated Uriel and her schemes

“Curse you and your group!!!” Uriel shielded herself when she was spared no second as Yuri and the gang overwhelmed her with their combined strength

“Thanks, everyone much appreciated,” Their intervention allowed the Ex-Machina core to devour every metal and electronic to transform him completely

[Diabolus Ex-machina: You’ve met the requirements to unlock the sealed functions as you created a functional vessel

Status: Due to the fragile materials this vessel will eventually break upon a single use we suggest gathering the hidden pieces

Outcome: The completion of your transformation changes your constitution from Demon -> Diabolus Ex-machina]

The flesh was replaced by metal, unfeeling, cold, and resistant to deterioration compared to a mortal’s flesh. Organs with roaring engines, unstoppable to boot as long as a source of fuel remains its performance never lessens. His mortal restraints were no longer but the past as he dons the body of a machine known to many as the culmination

“I present thee Demon Pro Max!” Instead of displaying his capabilities to their fullest, he remained still as Uriel flew with ill intent as she revealed her mace

[Diabolus Ex-machina: An attack is detected, proceeding to countermeasures, the target of antagonizing confirmed!!!]

Christoper never raised his hand but everyone who was watching knew that something thwarted Uriel’s mace. The moment the debris had long past their spot many spotted a shield constructed by none other than his body itself. The shield absorbed its impact and then sent the pressure back twice as what he received knocking Uriel off-bound

“That was amazing, now that we’re finally equal it’s about time I end our little foreplay, the time has come for me to play top,” His absurd statement infuriated Uriel who flew from the skies upon feeling the slightest appearance of Demonic energy

“You saw that huh?” The place where she stood before was eviscerated by a high-energy beam stemming from a carefully crafted canon

[Her senses have greatly exceeded your tricks, you have to kill her on your own, she can no longer be duped]

“Thanks for the advice,” He flew off, and the cannon he produced broke down upon the loss of its source, and all the materials returned to his core

Their fight was taken to the skies as Uriel attempted to give him no place for his weaponry to spawn. Sadly that thought faded as she left one key figure in the mix, her opponent who can apply them to himself. Her hunch wasn’t far off as Christoper broke through their gap with a simple addition to his wings allowing him to soar further

“Don’t act so high mighty or I’ll just have to knock some sense into ya, better start taking this seriously!!!”

“Powers!!!” A rift from the skies opens and hundreds of angelic warriors stand beside her as they begin conjuring angelic spears

“Smiting me eh? But lemme tell you something tutes… you ain’t killing me with simple brute force not anymore,”

The core within his chest spews bits of nanoparticles of iron and slowly they construct his desired product. His right arm shifted from a heavy canon similar to the designs of his weapon in the fight against Razor Zenova. But this time it holds power reaching heights beyond his eldest dreams as it shoots four combined elemental spells

[System: You’ve fused the following skills; Ignite, Frosbite, Shock, Wave, and Talaria, to temporarily acquire: <[Elemental]>

[Elemental]: This can be temporarily obtained when one tries to combine five or more different elemental spells. As long as the caster is able he can chant any spell that possesses elemental attributes as long as they meet the requirements. While this skill is present any elemental spells chanted will be boosted by 50% of its maximum output

Outcome: You’ve channeled the following spells to the hand cannon; Inferno, Boulder, Frostbite, and Root]

“Let’s check this out. Elemental magic combination; Meteor blitz!”

As he released his charged cannon it shot out a humongous flaming boulder that broke apart creating one massive meteor shower. The worst part was that’s imbued with Demonic energy granting that anyone struck will either perish or be corrupted. Uriel thought otherwise and rejected him from going further as she summons a Throne shielding her troops from demise

“Prepare to fire!!! That attack can only work if he charges once more. It’s a different story if we-”

“If you what? Attack together? I don’t know,”

She wasted no effort and sealed Morris in Self-denial locking him in place for all the angels she summoned to explode. The scenery was somewhat on par with what he did to Uriel but in his case, it’s a hundred times worse. But never did an ounce of worry come into his expression and bountiful feathers decided the outcome of her ambush

“Black feather barrage,” His phrase ended the lives of hundreds of angels as his wings offered up their feathers to slew a wave of his foe

He remained afloat when normally he would’ve fallen t but his core flickers sending metallic particles to his rear. “Impressive right? I can rebuild everything in a matter of seconds. Also thank you for the wonderful materials,”

Uriel saw the angels she commanded brutally devoured by the core as their bodies churned along with their weapons. His demonic energy rises higher and higher with each kill he gains from the bountiful angels she provides. For that reason, she rejected the thought of calling for help resulting in pointless genocide and simply faced him by herself

“If I want something done then I guess I’ll have to do it myself. Prepare yourself, Demon King… I shall smite there!”

“Oooh, how scary! Should I also bend my back? Please don’t penetrate me, I’m sorry, can I call you mommy- Whoa!!!” He escapes her mace for the first few encounters and now she parries her beat stick as their speed is now equal

“Keep your fiendish thoughts to yourself!!!”

“Okay, Mommy Uriel uwu,” He replied in the most unhinged way before he pushed her aside giving him enough time to equip his blades

[System: The player Christoper Morris had retrieved [Cromwell’s dagger] & [Devouring Fellinair Staff] from your inventory]

“I present to you Cromwell’s hand blade, the very thing I’ll use to disembowel you sorry angelic piece of shit,” The moment his staff brushed against his hands it liquified alongside his dagger mixing the two to become one
