Chapter 155: Generous Offer

Dante looked at the spot where the shadow flame cannonball had just exploded, but he only saw the demoness’ slaves dead in her place.

Demonic Shadow Spell — Demonic Shadow Detection!

Dante used the demonic variant of shadow detection and immediately found Jessica. The next moment, he sidestepped, and a sharp limb stabbed the spot that he had been standing on a moment ago.

’That was close.’

Dante dodged another attack and examined the demoness.

The pink fur now covered more parts of her body like a defensive layer, and finally, the shadowy eyes she had were now fully completed, giving her 4 eyes instead of 2.

BAM!

Using a mana barrier, Dante deflected the limb she used to attack. She had 6 spider limbs coming from her back, covered completely with her pink demonic energy, giving them a beautiful appearance and alluring people into touching them. They had sharp tips and a metallic appearance like spears.

She used two of them to move, while the other four were used like weapons to attack Dante.

The next moment, Jessica opened her mouth: “Charm!”

All of a sudden, Dante stopped moving, feeling the urge to kneel and ask for a hug.

Seizing the opportunity, Jessica attacked with her spider limbs and her arms, which now had sharp claws instead of normal fingernails.

But to her surprise, Dante immediately disappeared in a nearby shadow and emerged under her.

“How—!”

Before she could complete her sentence, Dante’s draconic arm grabbed her head and slammed it into the ground.

BOOM!

The ground cracked under the immense force, and Jessica’s nose shattered immediately.

She tried to attack him with spider limbs, but he dodged with inhuman speed and asked coldly: “I heard that demons get an ability of an incomplete transformation at 50% awakening percentage. Is this it?”

“DAMN YOU!” Jessica screamed in a high tone that shook the ground and made Dante squint.

His ears were bleeding!

Jessica gritted her teeth and tried to open her mouth again, but before she could, Dante raised her body like a toy and slammed it into the ground again.

BAM!

“What did you use before? Is it an aspect or ability related to the mind? You should reconsider using mental attacks against me.”

After saying that, he lifted her body.

“And that was the Sound Aspect, right? I read about it before.”

BAM!

The ground cracked further with another slam.

BAM!

He slammed her again.

BAM!

And again.

BAM!

And again.

Jessica could barely feel her body under that pain. Every slam affected every single cell in her body and prevented her from recovering.

Dante raised her and observed her broken face. Despite the transformation and her current condition, her beauty wasn’t affected. In fact, the transformation seemed to only increase her beauty in a mysterious way.

Before Dante could mutter a word, he suddenly sensed a spear flying toward them.

Smirking, he kept gripping Jessica and used her as a meat shield!

“AHHH!”

The spear couldn’t pierce her body completely, blocked by the spider fur, but it managed to cause a deep injury.

That scream tore through the air, far stronger than the last one. But this time, Dante was ready and had two shadow barriers protecting his ears.

The Shadow Aspect was good at suppressing sounds. It was a natural enemy to the Sound Aspect!

“Don’t launch more spears!” A giant shouted angrily, looking at the poor condition of Jessica with calculative eyes.

’He only enhanced his body and used a kind of teleportation technique, which seems to be Shadowstep, yet he overwhelmed a real demoness! This guy is more dangerous than we thought!’

Jessica’s bloodline had at least a 50% awakening percentage, which meant she had 100 points of demonic energy without considering the amount of vitality she had absorbed!

Additionally, the lust demons were specialized in mental attacks rather than physical ones. The giant could understand that Dante had an insane physical power, but how did he resist the temptation of having a demoness in front of him?!

Even from this distance, despite being female, the giant was affected, and her first thought was to find a way to save the demoness!

In the hole that was made by slamming Jessica over and over, Dante looked at the Spirit stat of every giant.

’They are all females, and only one of them might be Rank 2 with her 50 Spirit points.’

That team was likely made to fight Dante without getting affected by Jessica’s temptation. Just as Dante’s trait worked better on women, Jessica’s trait likely worked better on men!

“Hey! Won’t you fight? Do you want to watch me slam her again?” Dante asked casually while moving Jessica like a broken doll.

“You bastard!” One of the giants gritted her teeth and dove into the ground.

“Oh, that’s not Shadowstep.” Dante frowned while scanning his surroundings in search of her, ignoring the giants who were drawing runes.

’She’s in the ground, isn’t she?’ Dante understood her trick immediately before tapping the ground lightly.

Just then, a wave of shadow flames covered the ground, turning the hole into a sight of hell.

At this moment, a giant figure rose behind Dante from the ground like something surfacing from water, shadow flames covering her entire body.

“Die!” With a stone axe in her hand, she swung vertically, trying to split Dante’s head in half.

But suddenly, her thoughts changed and she twisted the attack. The axe missed Dante, but it continued moving until it severed one of her own arms!

That was the power of using chaos magic with misfortune!

The giants looked at that sight in shock. The axe giant, missing one arm, didn’t think too much about what happened and attacked again, ignoring the pain and the flames that were eating her flesh piece by piece.

BAM!

“What!” The giants’ jaws dropped in disbelief.

Dante only slapped the axe, and the next second, the giant’s head exploded from the inside!

That was Chaos Magic — Chaotic Impact, with the effect of misfortune!

Dante snapped his fingers and all the flames disappeared. Then, he left Jessica’s head and dragged her by her leg, taking slow steps toward the giants.

As he walked forward, he suddenly scratched his head and suggested: “I don’t really want to kill any of you. You look like kind people, you know. Here is a suggestion, let me sever one leg of each one of you and I’ll let you live!”

The Rank 2 giant closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them, there were no emotions inside.

“Ignore Jessica and complete your runes!”

“But—”

“NOW!”

The Rank 2 giant was the first to finish her runes, launching an attack of high-pressured water toward Dante and Jessica.

The other two runic circles completed, launching a barrage of wind blades and a light spear.

Silver Ether Spell — Ether Mini Shield!

Dante raised his hand calmly, then a small silver shield materialized.

BAM!

The water pushed Dante a few steps backward, barely affecting the shield.

When the wind blades arrived, Dante used the shield to block every single one of them, going as far as protecting Jessica.

“Trying to kill your beautiful friend, huh?”

BOOM!

The spear exploded at the moment of impact, but all that Dante had to do was use a mana barrier to protect the demoness.

They launched more and more attacks, from the normal projectiles to twisted spells, such as a wind ball that exploded into countless wind needles.

However, none of them caused any damage to Dante or Jessica. They were so useless that Dante even felt bored.

Suddenly, Jessica’s limbs moved again, trying to thrust Dante by surprise, but he immediately kicked them and severed them with his kicks.

Her screams were useless, their attacks were weak, and their mana was draining.

If he wanted, he could just wait for them to use all their mana, but that was a waste of time.

With a simple thought, a small shadow spike passed through the leg armor of the wind giant and pierced her leg.

Before she could react, a shadow spike erupted from her leg, cutting through her skin and flesh.

“Argh!”

The wind giant finally got the attention of the others, only for another spike to erupt before they could do anything.

The next spikes burst from her thighs, followed by one at her stomach and another at her other thigh.

The first spike that entered her body was growing like a plant inside her, and with enough vitality, a “branch” would erupt like a tree.

After only a few seconds, her body was just a corpse with tens of shadow spikes.

That was…

Demonic Shadow Spell — Demonic Consumption Shade!

The twisted spike-branch effect was added due to the use of demonic energy!

The giants looked at their dead friend with terror, then glanced at the masked guy who didn’t show a hint of struggle against their attacks.

What should they do now?

“My generous offer is still available!” Dante scratched his head: “Oh, but now, I’ll take a leg and an arm.”

“Of course, that’s your choice. If you still want to fight me, I won’t force you to accept my offer.”

“So… what’s your answer?”
