Lord of Glory

Chapter 33: The Great Demon Uruses

Morris, whose expression looked unbearably ugly, roared loudly, "Watch out! He has summoned the contracted demons from the abyss through his own Black Gate!"

Just as Morris's words left his mouth, Crimson Blade, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly moved.

His dangling arm suddenly moved so fast it disappeared. That arm then tried to grab Morris' chin with its claws, attempting to sever the human's head. Morris, on the other hand, wasn't going to die easily. After all, he bore the title of the Chief Executive Officer of the Inquisition. The moment Crimson Blade made a move, Morris had already brandished his cross sword and blocked the attack. A dazzling white light spread across the long sword.

Unfortunately, Morris still underestimated the opponent's strength. The magic sword in Morris's hand, made of high-quality materials and filled with holy magic, was smashed to pieces by the claw. Morris' pupils contracted viciously. However, Crimson Blade’s next kick was extremely swift and violent. It shattered the magic-enhanced robe he wore on the outside, reaching the armor made of mithril inside. The impact of the kick went straight into Morris' stomach.

"Wooah!" Morris screamed in agony and flew into the air. Leaving an obvious trail of blood behind.

Boom! Morris fell to the ground. His subordinates immediately stepped forward to assist him. They were taken aback that the chief they admired and respected had been seriously injured by the opponent's kick.

"Don't pay attention to me, watch out for the enemy!" Although Morris—who could only stare and barely able to stand up—said that, he felt a little desperate inside. Right now, the previously weak Crimson Blade no longer existed.

Crimson Blade staggered and slowly stood up. Like a baby learning to walk, he used his limbs in a strange way. Eventually, he growled impatiently, "The human body is too troublesome."

Crimson Blade propped up the mask. The mask cracked because of a single touch from him. A mouth with barbed jaws and a pair of enormous fangs were revealed. Immediately after, a pair of crimson eyes several times larger than a bull's eye could be seen. Crimson Blade’s original hair was gone, replaced by two massive horns that were curved in the edge. The body swelled rapidly, the skin turned black, and scales grew, covering his whole body.

His human feet twisted and deformed into hooves, resembling those of cattle and/or sheep. After a while, this behemoth had grown to the size of the branch's wall. Its shadow engulfed all of the executive officers present. Morris and the others looked at all this in shock. Prickles appeared from all of the huge monster's joints, and its entire body burst into flames. Its back, which was covered in bone spikes, trembled. Two massive bat wings surrounded by flames flapped open soon after. Because of his wings, the entire castle was shrouded in darkness.

The sleeping monster awoke, still a little groggy. The massive crimson eyes widened suddenly. Flames erupted as its eyes examined the tiny creatures below. The huge nose sniffed, smelling the earthy fragrance of earth. Finally, it excitedly opened its big mouth full of fangs, roaring energetically at the executive officers below.

"ROAR ROARR ROARRR ROARRR!"

A massive wave of sound roared, accompanied by the pungent odor of sulfur on the surface. Many of the executives began to cower in fear, lowering their swords. Morris, who was fast to calm and compose himself, cried out in disgust. These executives were the best believers and soldiers. Even so, it was natural for them to be terrified if they encountered such an inhuman demon that only existed in legends and myths. All he had to do now was boost their and his own morale.

"Faithful believers! What are you hesitating for? Have you forgotten the vows you made to the true God before? To eliminate evil and uphold God's justice! If you lay down your weapons now, you might be able to escape with your lives. However, what you've been guarding your entire lives will no longer exist! Your faith would crumble, and your lives would lose their luster! It will be difficult to look at the condemning eyes of the younger generations directed at you! Is that really what you want?!"

.

"No! No! No!"

Morris' words uplifted their morale. The executive officers' eyes, which had been a little scared at first, became full of determination. They raised their swords again and took out the crossbows on their backs.

"For the Great and Almighty Enos! Return to God’s embrace after death!" they shouted in unison.

Morris was relieved. The executive officers immediately raised their crossbows, arrows drenched with holy water. They then pressed the trigger, targeting the demon's head and huge body. Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The sound of arrows piercing through the air pulled the demon's attention from its initial excitement.

It finally realized that these tiny things approaching were actually attacking it. The seemingly thunderous crossbow shot did not hurt or even itch its body. The arrows fell to the ground without leaving a mark. Well, even though it didn't care about being bitten by a group of ants, it was still uncomfortable. This was what the Great Demon Uruses was thinking at the time.

Uruses shook its enormous head, causing the tower that came into contact with its curved horns to collapse. Looking at the dense crowd of white-robed humans below, it exclaimed loudly, "Humans! You puny humans are attacking me? You will be silenced by the blazing flames of the Abyss!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a massive fireball condensed on the big devil's mouth full of fangs. With a bang, a fireball in the size of a carriage went straight to Morris and the others.

"Guardian Enchantment! Quick!" Morris shouted in horror.

All the executive officers immediately threw down their crossbows, grabbed the crosses on their chests, and chanted loudly, "Great God, thou are my father and mother. May thy glory protect thy humble servants. Bring down mercy and justice, delighted to enlarge it.''

Amidst the chant, a large milky white shield surrounded the crowd. The extremely powerful fireball hit it all at once, exploding with a bang. The waves of crimson fire spread across the shield, causing the surrounding walls and facilities to collapse and burn. Morris stared in horror at the trembling shield, but fortunately it held out. He heaved a relieved sigh.

The humans, who it thought would be destroyed in an instant in the face of its power, were unscathed. The Great Demon Uruses snorted from his nostrils in displeasure, letting out a huff of flames. However, the great demon was suddenly stunned. It felt the aura of the shield summoned by Morris and others. That familiar yet unfamiliar aura that disgusted all the demons in the abyss.

The big demon's indifferent expression changed. With a ferocious and angry expression, he roared. "Enos’ aura! The aura of that dirty, despicable, hypocritical entity! You are priests! Despicable priests, tremble under the gaze of the All-knowing, All-powerful God of Darkness, Belial!"

The great demon raised one hand. Massive lava sword the thickness and height of a tower gathered in his palm. If such a dreadful thing was to fall on them, certainly no one would be spared. So, Morris shouted determinedly, "Divine Punishment! Summon Divine Punishment!"
