Every chapter here is important for the future plot. ////
Looking at how carefree Alex was, even though they had already transformed into the strongest form they could, caused the demon to get frustrated. Valerius, who felt the same as the other three demons, finally issued another order.
"Weapons out."
The fists of the other demons relaxed before they nodded their heads.
But Valerius wasn't looking at them; he was staring at Alex, and then he waved his hand.
*Shing*
With the sound of air being cut by a sharp blade, a pulsating red spear appeared in Valerius's hand.
*Dun*
The pressure from the spear descended upon the air, causing the demon generals to feel shivers run down their spines.
They knew that Valerius was on their side, yet looking at the spear, which had a design that seemed like veins on human bodies, reminded them that the spear he was holding was the only weapon in this world that could be considered living.
Yes, that was a living spear since it was made by using the body of a demon that had betrayed them a long time ago.
This weapon is called Hell's Slumber.
It was a weapon that was supposed to be used by the demon king, but since there was no demon king in the demon empire, it was used by the leading general of the demon empire, Valerius Voly Lofnus.
"That's a nice spear."
But their thought process was interrupted by Alex's words, which were filled with appreciation.
It was as if he were thanking Valerius for taking that weapon out.
But Valerius just stared at Alex without saying a word, his fists clenched around the pulsating rod of the spear.
The other demons also hurriedly waved their hands, summoning their own respective weapons.
Morvan summoned a bone staff that had a skull-shaped top.
It looked tough, and it could be used as a short, one-handed hammer.
Malak, who had roaring flames covering his body, now had two golden gauntlets that reached his elbows.
They were golden-colored with red engravings on them.
The red color of the inscriptions matched the flames he was covered with.
*Clinck*
He crashed his fists against each other and smiled with satisfaction when he heard the clicking sound and the sparks created by them.
'They have some nice weapons.'
Alex raised his brow inwardly.
The weapons the demon generals had were quite good.
Not as good as his Varethian, but still, they were legendary-ranked weapons, and that alone spoke volumes about their weapon's strength.
Alex ignored Nyx just like he had been doing till now.
Nyx also had a new weapon in his hands; both of his palms now held two chakrams with silver-green blades and dark green handles.
Just like the other three, his weapon was a legendary weapon as well, but Alex didn't focus much on him; rather, he was interested in Valerius's weapon.
The real reason for ignoring Nyx was probably because Nyx had been trying to kill him since the start.
*Crack*
He just cracked his fingers and smiled at the demons.
"Shall we?"
His smile widened as his palms started getting covered in a dense mass of black-silver energy.
The demons had their bodies tense, but they didn't back down.
The air was palpable with tension.
The demon generals and Alex stared at each other, their attacks charged with mana.
The air became still as the solemnness of the situation reached an all-time high.
This was the final confrontation, the time that would decide the outcome of this long yet short battle.
It was long as it felt long for the participants, yet it was short as it had not even been a minute since the fight started.
The earth was already crying because of the damage done to it in such a short period of time.
No living being was left to tell the tales of this battle; they were killed unintentionally even before they could understand what was happening.
The small building that was supposed to be the hiding spot and the most secretive place in the demon empire was now nowhere to be seen.
Even the forest that hid this place had disintegrated into nothingness.
*Inhale**Exhale*....
The sounds of breathing were heard as the demons stood on their spots with their backs drenched in cold sweat.
A mythical-ranked creature that is not even supposed to sweat was sweating due to the tension in the air.
The demons knew that this might as well be the last fight they had, but even if they died, they would prefer dying over running away like cowards.
They stood strong, waiting for Alex to make a move.
Valerius, who was unaware that Alex might stop if he just requested it once more like before, also stared at Alex with his muscles taunt, observing even the slightest movement from Alex.
Valerius was still thinking that it was the same Alex who had been ignoring his requests and apologies while being unreasonable.
He didn't know that Ales was behaving like that because of the bloodline's influence.
All he thought was that requesting and apologizing wouldn't get them anywhere; now they only had one thing left to do: kill.
So, all of the demon generals waited for Alex's first move.
They wanted to make use of the only advantage they had, and it was their physical stats.
They could tell that even though Alex had grown stronger and more dangerous, his body was still weaker than theirs.
They still wanted to avoid getting close to Alex, but with faster speed, they would be able to dodge Alex's attack if they saw it coming.
*Swish*
The moment they waited for had finally arrived as Alex directly jumped toward Malak with his fists clenched.
The demon generals pointed their weapons toward Alex, ready to shoot at him, but just as they were about to meet Alex's attack...
*DUN*
A colossal pressure descended upon everyone in the area.
The pressure was so strong that it felt like a mountain was crushing over them.
The demons' eyes widened as they knew who it was.
They were a bit too familiar with this pressure.
But what shocked them more was the fact that the pressure was only locked on them and not on Alex, as they saw it all in slow motion.
They saw how Alex's SD-coated fist inched close toward Malak's heart.
Malak's heart rate shot up as he realized that he might die.
He couldn't move, nor could he shout; things were happening a bit too fast.
Alex, who was oblivious to the pressure that the demons felt, frowned, but he didn't stop.
He found it strange that the demon generals weren't even moving, but then he heard a voice inside his head.
It was Sophia.
However, like the relaxed tone like always, right now, her tone was as serious as it could be.
[You have a guest, Alex.]
Alex, who heard her words, widened his eyes.
*Swoosh*
He hurriedly jumped back in a hurry and started looking around for the guest that Sophia was talking about with utmost caution.
'Who is it?! Why couldn't I sense them?!'
Alex exclaimed inwardly.
His relaxed body was now tensed.
The reason for his alarm was simple: even with his senses working at their maximum and his perception powered by all-seeing eyes, along with All-Master, he couldn't find anyone other than them in the vicinity.
*Crack*

But then he heard a cracking noise, and he felt something that caused his eyes to widen in shock and worry before his head snapped toward a certain spot.
