Asmodeus, who had one of her legs severed by a surprise attack from the Dragon Spear, let out a roar of fury. Thanks to her demonic power, it was regenerating quickly, but. . . the shame of losing a leg was unbearable.
Following this, Asmodeus began to fire arrows of demonic power. Ornstein, Viktor, and Seracion had no choice but to switch to defense against these relentless attacks that always hit their mark.
At that moment! A long, red spear flew in and pierced through Asmodeus’ back, exiting near her solar plexus.
【Kwaaaaagh】
Soon after, a shower of turquoise and black-and-white sword energy began to rain down on her head. Asmodeus suffered a major blow from this tremendous bombardment.
“Now it’s your turn.”
Oswald, having dealt with all the aristocratic and higher-ranking demons of envy, left the rest to Archduke Malekis and crossed over to this location.
‘𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘥𝘶𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘶𝘴𝘵, 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦.’
However, the eight spider legs extending from her back were a bit repulsive. . . but overall, even those seemed attractive.
Oswald then reached out his hand towards ‘Gae Bolg’, and it responded by returning to his grasp.
【How can you. . .? 】
“I’ll soon take that Pale Note of yours as well.”

Oswald, who had put Gae Bolg back into his magic pouch, gripped ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Yin-Yang’ in both hands and began another bombardment. Asmodeus, using black magic to maximize her demonic power, endured the feast of holy power-based sword energy.
At that moment, eight Mind Spears pierced through her defenses. Ornstein had used his Heart Eye to disrupt her flow.
Thanks to this, Oswald’s holy power could strike her more concentratedly, and she was quickly cornered.
At that very moment!
Rumble!
A pillar of azure light could be seen rising from the northwest. Judging by the immense demonic power that could be sensed even from here, it seemed another archduke demon had manifested in Century.
【Kukuku. . . The lazy one has finally come up! 】
Oswald frowned at Asmodeus’ words.
“No need to watch any longer!”
Oswald immediately used Rampage and Gigantification.
[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐯.𝟏𝟕𝟒+𝟐𝟑𝟎]
[𝐀𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐋𝐯.𝟏𝟕𝟐+𝟐𝟑𝟎]
[𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐯.𝟏𝟔𝟑+𝟐𝟑𝟎]
Using his immense mass and physical power, Oswald began to pummel Asmodeus. He beat her with the power of the giants and holy power that even the Nephilim couldn’t easily resist, and eventually, Asmodeus, like Invidia, was banished from Century. Of course, without him managing to secure the Pale Note.
[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐝𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥]

[𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐯.𝟑𝟎]
Having obtained the Pale Note and her essence, Oswald immediately ran towards the location of the archduke demon of gluttony, Baalzebub.
The time he could maintain this gigantic body was only 30 minutes. He had already spent 10 minutes dealing with Asmodeus, so he had to move quickly. If he couldn’t finish it within the remaining 20 minutes, he would need 3 days to use Gigantification again.
Soon after, Oswald entered the battlefield where heaven and earth were being overturned. The sudden appearance of the giant holy power titan made the champions gape in awe.
“This is almost like a champion of Chronos, isn’t it?”
The terrifying amount of holy power emanating from Oswald. As he absorbed holy power from the angels possessing Chronos’ holy power, it was natural for the total amount of Chronos’ holy power to increase.
In the end, Oswald had become almost like a champion of Chronos.
“Well, not just anyone can lift the holy sword and demonic artifacts. . .”
“He even wields the fragments of Demonic Sword of Chaos, so it’s truly astonishing.”
Agenor and Hippolyte looked at Oswald, who had barged in, with bewildered expressions. At that moment, Oswald, who had entered, threw a punch wrapped in holy power straight down on the head of the archduke demon of gluttony, Baalzebub.
Kwaaang!
The monstrous mass, physical power, and holy power, in perfect trinity, turned the archduke demon of gluttony, Baalzebub, into a rag.
At that moment, Leto Zagreaus unleashed the flames of Pluto, burning Baalzebub. Until then, proper attacks hadn’t been possible due to being sucked into the Maw of Gluttony, but they had perfectly capitalized on the moment when Baalzebub was disoriented from the sudden, tremendous violence.
【Kuaaaaaaagh! 】
Baalzebub screamed in agony as his soul burned. Then, as he began to indiscriminately suck in everything using the Maw of Gluttony. . . Oswald immediately threw another punch, stopping his rampage.
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
Meanwhile, Belphegor, the archduke demon of sloth who had descended upon Century through the snow elf sorcerers, yawned and stretched lazily.
【I’m tired. . . Can’t I just go back? 】
“. . . . . .”
The snow elf sorcerers were speechless.
