Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

"How many are there?"

"I can\'t tell, and I am not sure. They are far away to the north." Nero turned to Rhea and asked, "What\'s on the north?"

"Uhh… more kingdoms?" Rhea answered.

Nero raised his brows and sighed: "I couldn\'t have guessed that, ever; Thank you."

"There are many kingdoms, and you asked, \'What\'s in the north?\' You didn\'t tell me the distance or any exact location. So how am I supposed to know what area you are talking about?!" Rhea shouted.

"Fine~" Nero groaned and snorted, "Let me guess, this entire continent has no capital, am I right?"

Rhea nodded and continued, "That\'s the reason why all the neighboring kingdoms are at war with each other for years. If it had a capital ruling over them, there would be no war."

\'However, whatever is happening in these kingdoms is not random wars. Someone is planning everything and pulling strings. There is a mastermind behind all of this.\'

Nero lowered his gaze and looked at Sophia, who was healing Arnold.

"I think I know who is behind all this," Nero asserted.

"But I have no idea how he or they managed to get their hands on the magical beasts, and that too— catastrophe-level; the most dangerous of beasts."

\'Still, who would do such stupid thing as releasing them in their own kingdom?\'

\'It would have made more sense if they were released on the enemy kingdoms.\'

Nero\'s guess was correct, but he didn\'t know that the person who released the catastrophe-level magical beasts wasn\'t a normal human. It was a demon who was possessing the body of the real king.

"Let\'s go take a look and defeat those monsters before they destroy the kingdoms!" Pavel suggested with an anxious and horrified look on his face.

Rhea held Pavel\'s hand tightly as though she didn\'t want him to leave.

Pavel had only a few hours left, and if he had gone to fight the monster, he might never get a chance to see Rhea ever again.

"Rhea…" Pavel placed his hand on Rhea\'s head and patted her. Then, he bumped his forehead with her forehead and said, "It is for the best. You have to let me go."

However, Pavel thought it would be best if he disappeared when Rhea was not around. That way, it would save him from the pain and trouble to bid her farewell.

"We will have to deal with the monsters by ourselves," Pavel declared.

"You have no power left, so how exactly do you plan to fight monsters?" Nero tittered.

"I will simply buy you some time, and meanwhile, you defeat them," Pavel answered sincerely.

"You will hold me back," Nero commented nonchalantly.

Pavel couldn\'t say anything in response and stood there quietly as he lowered his gaze.

"Fortunately…" Nero\'s voice changed to his demonic voice as he uttered: "I am still angry about the fake core, and my hands are itching."

Nero\'s side-marks on his cheekbones glowed and started pulsating.

Pavel, Rhea, and Rosemary trembled in fear as they saw Nero changing to his half-demon form.

Nero had used his tail in his fight with Hades, but Pavel had his eyes closed, so he didn\'t see it. As for Rhea and Rosemary, they had never seen Nero changing his form.

Three stripes appeared from Nero\'s marks and covered his left side of the face with it. Nero\'s eyes changed from red to crimson red, with a star-like sigil moving inside his eyes.

"Eww! You look disgusting," Rosemary commented.

"Thanks."

Nero leaped through the clouds and flew to the magic beasts.

When he reached there, he saw two monsters fighting each other. They were ten times the size of a normal adult human in height, and eight times in width.

Their bodies were made from hard scales and thorns, one had six legs, and the other had ten legs. One had one eye and one horn in the middle, and the other one had 12 eyes and eight horns all over its head with its mouth on the body.

They looked disgusting rather than terrifying; although, a normal human or an adventurer would surely find them petrifying.

"Not what I was imagining, but okay."

Nero landed on the one-eyed monster\'s head and watched them fight.

Then, he activated his god\'s eyes and glanced around to locate other monsters.

"Hmm~ Two in the east. Seven in the west. And two further north."

"I was expecting 12 of them, but there are only 11 of— hmm?"

Nero squinted his eyes and furrowed his brows as he glanced at the direction of the palace far away from him.

"What is that? A goblin, perhaps?"

ROAR!

\'I should focus on the monsters first.\'

Nero stomped his foot on the monster\'s head, and it was buried under the ground.

"Heh!" He smirked and uttered, "As expected of catastrophe-level magic beasts; they won\'t die that easily."

The other monster dashed at Nero with its ten legs and tried to crush him under its feet. However, Nero stopped the monster with his finger and tossed it in the air.

Then, Nero jumped into the air and punched the monster further into the sky.

"They make a good punching bag," Nero commented.

He waited for the monster to fall down and raised his hand in the air.

A red crimson-colored lightning bolt appeared before Nero\'s hand and aggravated.

The moment the monster fell to the ground on top of the one-eyed monster, Nero launched the crimson lightning bolt on them and razed the entire area.

"Now then…" He cracked his fingers and looked to the east where two other monsters were causing rampage, and uttered, "Let\'s start from low to high, shall we?"
