Rowanna and Erena's peak level Mark Condensation Realm cultivation bases erupted, making Euger's demonic aura suppressed drastically. Learning about their cultivation levels, Rene's eyes widened from surprise. More and more clan elders coughed up blood, lying on the floor. Three suppressing auras of peak level Mark Condensation Realm experts? There was no way for them to stand up and bear the pressure.
Euger's expression became bitter.
" So, my uncle, I'm giving you the last chance for you to make it up for me. There is no escape path for you now! Even your daughter won't help you."
" You should be the imposter! What have you done to my daughter!" Euger roared.
" Mm, I don't know, but it's not wrong to say I relieved her from sexual frustration. Ahh, father-in-law, you should thank me for that!"
" Bastard, I will kill you! I don't give a shit about that fucking bastard, eventhough I die I will make sure you to go down with me!"
With this, he put his palms together in a worshipping manner, and started some incantation.
" Oh, Her majesty, the Lady of the Demons, the ruler of the eternal torture and destruction, I offer you my soul, my blood, and my body. Provide me with your strength to shake the world with your overbearing pride and power! Hail to the demon lord."
With this, Karl could feel his power rocketed up to the divine level in just a few seconds after the incantation. The sky darkened, covering the sun, and a blood red moon appeared over the entire Imperial City.
" Your offer has been accepted. You will be allowed to use a drop of my power, equal to the value of your soul, blood, and body." A thunderous female voice boomed.
" Father, no! Don't use it! It will kill you for eternity!" Rene screamed in fear.
" Marina, do you know what he just did?" Karl asked.
" This is a demonic cultivation technique. Poor soul, he had just dug his own grave!"
" What is that voice? Is it from the Lady of Demons?"
" Yes. To use demonic cultivation techniques, the cultivator has to require permission from the demon lord. The power they can obtain, depends on the value of his/her sacrifice. Normally, it is small portions of vital energy, from the cultivator, which means they offer their longevity to the demon lord. This Euger really went too far by offering his whole existence to her. He literally abandoned his chance to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation for just power! This is utter stupidity!"
" I can't understand. Why do they have to get permission from the Lady of the Demons just to use power?"
" Because it is demonic energy. This energy is almost similar to the destruction energy, but at the same time they are different. Destruction energy is a variation of Universal Energy while demonic energy is another origin energy just like Universal Energy. Apart from destruction, this energy has aspects of healing, creation, magic and mind controlling.
But unlike Universal Energy, Demonic Energy has an owner of it. The Demon Lord owns the source of Demonic Energy. While the Universal Energy requires the wielder to have a suitable tempered body, Demonic Energy requires only a worthy sacrifice. So, even a non cultivator can wield it if the individual has a worthy sacrifice to offer to the Demon Lord." Marina elaborated.
" So there are things like this here, huh?"
" Dreadful, isn't it?"
" No, I don't think so. Both require something from us. It's true that Demonic Energy requires something more valuable. But, that's all. You know, there is no free meal in the world."
Hearing this Marina went speechless.
" So now he is at the same level as me, huh?"
Without hesitation both girls shot towards him with two palm strikes, one targeted his head while another targeted his chest. Both attacks were contained with terrifying amounts of spiritual energy, and the energy fluctuations which were created by them, spread throughout the whole meeting hall, destroying everything around. Weak elders were flown away from the hall, with broken limbs, who howled in pain and fear.
Facing these two deadly attacks oncoming, Euger didn't even try to move. He simply pushed his palm towards them. The two attacks met his palm.
Booooomm…
Eardeafenning sound erupted from this confrontation causing the meeting hall to crumble apart. Rocks flew here and there damaging more properties around causing continuous earthquakes.
" What?" Erena exclaimed with widened eyes.
Euger was standing in front of them unscathed with a smirk on his face.
" You are no match for me now! In front of the might of the Lady of the Demons you and even me are ants. So, get to know your place!" Euger roared in pride.
Then, he gathered power to his fist and punched both of them with all might he got.
Unable to defend, Rowanna and Erena went flying with several sonic booms!
Both spat blood.
" Now, it's time to get rid of you for once and for all." Euger started stepping towards Karl leisurely.
" What are the chances?" Karl asked Marina.
" 20% . If you use my power this is no deal!"
As Marina was his divine servant, he could use her energy for a limited period of time. Right now the limit was 30 seconds.
" So low?"
" Yeah of course, unless you have fucked that demoness."
" You dare touch my master? In your dreams!" Rowanna blocked Euger along with Erena.
" Hmm, okay, Rowanna, Erena step down. I will deal with him"
" But master-"
" You know you can't defeat him, so step down."
Of course, Karl knew they were concerned about his safety, but Karl would no way let his servants die fighting a stronger opponent who was undefeatable even to him, with his own powers.
" Alright, Marina, we have 30 seconds. Let's end this quickly."
" Hmm, fine by me. What about you!"
" I have never been not ready."
With this, he stretched his right hand and a golden light beam flickered and a 2 metres long golden trident with dragon scales appeared in his hand, emitting divine energy.
Seeing this Euger gasped and flinched with fear. But after a few seconds he gathered his courage and faced him.
" Divine energy, no wonder you were that arrogant in front of me. But with this little amount of Divine Energy, you think you can defeat the might of the Demon Lord? You and your wishful thinking! Hahaha." He laughed maniacally.
" One move is enough to take you down. So I will first give you a chance to attack me first." With this Karl slammed the back tip of the trident. Divine Energy surged from it, and a barrier made of Divine Energy secured the premises from prying eyes.
" Well, well, since you wish to die, let me fulfil your wish!" Euger roared.
Closing eyes, Euger gathered all the demonic energy left within him, to his fist. Then he opened his eyes. In a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Karl and punched in his face. When it was almost about to hit his face, Karl put his trident in front of him, and again slammed the tip of its back.
" Divine shield of deflection" Karl muttered softly.
A shield made of Divine spiritual energy suddenly sprang at Euger deflecting his attack which made him fly to his side. He crashed into an adjourned building destroying its entire structure.
" How much time left?"
" Eight seconds."
" Good."
He patiently waited for Euger to recover.
" What are you waiting for? Just kill him already!" Marina yelled.
" No"
" Why?"
" Because, there is no fun doing that."
Marina rolled her eyes.
Euger stood up spitting a mouthful of fresh blood and looked at him. He had wounds all over his body and his clothes had already been destroyed. Blood was gushing forth from everywhere on his body.
" How much?"
" 3 seconds. You jerk, just kill him already."
Karl closed his eyes, and in less than a second he appeared behind and thrust the trident piercing his heart in one shot behind his back.
At the time, Euger felt Karl's breath at the back of his neck, his heart was already pierced. Divine energy invaded inside him, cleansing the demonic energy which was flowing through all of his veins.
Then Karl pulled his trident back.
Blood was constantly flowing out of his mouth and the wound. Euger tried to breathe, failed and fell on the floor, with a thud.
The surroundings were abnormally quiet.
" Noooooo father! FATHER! NOOOOOO." Rene screamed in pain in her heart. Unable to overcome her shock she fell unconscious.
" So that's my enemy, huh!"
" Shit! Of all the people, why had to be him?" Marina exclaimed.
When the tip of the trident pierced through his heart, he used the remaining time to examine his memory. And found out the whole thing had been planned by the Emperor Wongoner Sargeer himself. Of course, there was another barrier protecting his memories from others, but since he was about to die, Karl broke through it. His parents' death- now he knew they were dead- , plans to take over the clan seal all these things were his doings.
***
In a dark room at the Emperor's palace.
A man with a demonic aura surrounding him was looking at the East division of the Imperial City.
' Hmm? Euger was killed? Interesting..'
' There is also a trace of divine energy.'
" My servants, go and see what happened and report everything to me."
Three figures in black clothing, with powerful demonic auras appeared behind him.
" Yes, master."
In a flash they disappeared in a whirl of dark red black fog.
