"That was at least eighty percent of our power and it did nothing, seems we really stand no chance against this monster, only if "he" would have allowed us to use "that", we probably could have done some damage." One of the girls, a redhead complained.
"Stop complaining, didn't he already tell you that our bodies are too weak right now?." Another girl, a silver haired one rebuked her while frowning at their lack of capabilities.
"Ladies, as much as I like hearing your pretty voices can you tell me if we're still doing this or should I go on ahead and capture you already." The demon lord said, a bit annoyed at being ignored, though from their conversation he realised that there's at least one more expert in hiding who's likely even stronger than the girls.
"Okay Mr demon, you don't want to be ignored right?, then here take our strongest attacks without dodging...that is if you dare." The redhead shouted out with a sneer on her face trying to taunt the demon lord.
"Insolent!!, I'll gouge out your eyes!, how dare you try to trick our demo...." Judah was fuming as he shouted before he was stopped by a raised hand from the demon lord.
"Didn't I already tell you to stay out of it already?, you had your chance and failed, so stop putting on airs before I'm really pissed off...now ladies I'm sorry for his rude interference and there's no need to try and trick me, didn't l already express interest in experiencing your full power?, so go ahead and attack, I promise not to move out of the way." The demon lord addressed his subordinates then smilingly replied to the taunt he didn't even take seriously.
"Your choice, now takes this!!!" With that short reply from one of them, the girls prepared to attack again, this time they were going all out!.
"Although this will only amount to less than one percent of the real thing despite us pooling our strength together... which quite frankly is disheartening, I'm sure we'll at least be able to do some damage" A green haired girl said as all five of them held their hands and channelled their power into an attack that will one day be feared by everyone in the world.
"ALL THINGS PERISH!!!" ×5. All the girls screamed out at once then suddenly they all looked frail like all their strength had be drained out of them, but oddly nothing happened.
Just when the dukes were about to laugh and the demon lord was about to ask if they were joking, dark clouds started to gather overhead. They were extra dark on top of the demon lord.
"Hmm, interesting...I've never seen such an atta...." Before the demon lord was able to finish his sentence an orange lightning bolt as thick as a fully grown gumtree trunk struck down on him like heaven's judgement for all the evil he had done.
The demon lord was covered again up by the explosion. This time though, the shockwave blew away the demon soldiers on the ground who had retreated a bit back after the first attack from the girls under the order of the dukes otherwise they likely would have been wiped out. Even the dukes who had retreated in the last moment all had their skin charred despite not taking a direct hit, which made them feel a chill go down their backs.
Although the dukes wanted to run up to their lord, the area he was in was now covered up by dust and smoke while some left over energy was still going berserk in the area so they could only look on with worry. At the same time they were glad that the girls never used such an attack on them or else they would have died long ago with no chance to resist, but then they realised that the attack could hardly be utilized in battle since only a weirdo like the demon lord would give his enemies a chance to charge up their best attack.
A few moments later when the dukes were really starting to get worried, a familiar aura was released in front of them and all the obstructions were blown away. All that was left was the demon lord holding up his right arm above his head, though the arm now looked completely different. It had transformed into something that looked like the arm of a giant beast. It now looked crimson red, super mascular and had nails as long as swords and likely as sharp too. It looked really scary, though the girls only wondered how he could lift up such a giant arm.
"Hahahahaha, to think that you managed to make me partially transform, hahahaha how I wish you were stronger and could really fight, but life is full of let downs so there's nothing to be done" the demon madly laughed as he spoke to the girls while his arm slowly reverted back to normal. He now floated above a giant pit big enough to be a small dam that was left etched on the ground by the attack.
The dukes heaved a sigh of relief knowing that the demon lord was still fine. They even acquired a new level of respect for him seeing how he easily shrugged off such an attack. A bit of fear of the girls seeped into their hearts after the attack and seeing its aftermath.
"Now initially I was thinking of capturing you and awarding you to my most outstanding subordinates as play things but after that display I think I'll keep you to myself". Before anyone could speak the demon lord said words that made fear flash in the eyes of the girls.
The demon lord suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of the girls, his left hand reaching out. Even in their best condition the girls probably couldn't react to such speeds not to mention right then when they were drained of all their energy. Right when the arm was about to grab the silver haired girl who was in front, the hand stopped in mid air as if there was a wall in-between. Before the demon lord could do anything else, all the girls disappeared into thin air.
