Chapter 108…………………………………………
“What…?”
The three of them couldn’t help but be shocked at the identity revealed by Celeb Gale, also known as S.
They had heard from Elias that Mammon had hidden somewhere after losing to Lilith, but they had never expected him to be disguised as a human.
“What on earth…!”
The three hesitated to speak, but Elias addressed them.
“Yes, the author is indeed Mammon. So everyone, be careful! If it seems dangerous, run.”
In truth, Elias wanted nothing more than to evacuate them all. Not only had Mammon absorbed power, but now he had also taken all the strength that even his own followers possessed.
Even Elias himself would certainly lose if he confronted Mammon now, so he didn’t want to put his companions in danger.
Yet, upon hearing Elias’ warning, the three’s eyes only burned with determination.
Because the Elias they cherished was trapped behind bars, worrying for them more than anyone else.
So Theron, Seria, and Pelles exchanged glances.
At that instant, Theron and Seria simultaneously charged at Mammon.
Taaat—
Both of them rushed forward, but Mammon didn’t even flinch. He simply maintained his smile.
Kaang—!
Theron’s sword flew toward Mammon, and simultaneously Seria’s fist moved to strike him.
However, their attacks were instantly stopped. A translucent black barrier appeared around Mammon.
With Mammon effortlessly blocking both attacks, Theron and Seria were forced to retreat.
After they stepped back, Mammon deactivated the barrier. At the same time, he disappeared from their sight.
“Theron, Seria! Behind you!”
Elias, the only one aware of Mammon’s location at that moment, shouted desperately. Theron and Seria quickly turned their bodies.
Chaaang—!
Before they could react, Mammon had a completely black sword in hand, which Theron’s blade blocked.
“Hoho, not a bad speed,” Mammon said with a satisfied smile.
Meanwhile, Pelles, who was behind them, hurled his blood-red power toward Mammon.
Paaat—
But Mammon deflected the attack with a flick of his hand, instantly nullifying it.
“Now, let’s have a bit more fun, shall we?”
Mammon spoke toward them, then vanished once again. Theron and Seria immediately focused on sensing his presence to locate him.
Elias watched anxiously. He couldn’t feel Mammon’s presence at all.
The next moment, Mammon appeared behind Seria.
Puh!
Mammon struck Seria’s back at a speed far faster than before.
“Kuuhk—!”
Seria fell to the ground, unable even to scream.
“Seria!!”
Elias called out to her, but her consciousness was fading. When Seria’s eyes fully closed, Elias couldn’t help but tremble.
‘Luckily… she’s still alive…!’
Elias resolved not to lose hope. Yet the next moment, Mammon vanished again.
Puh!
His attack struck Pelles squarely in the abdomen. Pelles collapsed without making a sound.
“Lord Pelles!”
Fortunately, he was still breathing, but the situation was dire. Now, only Theron remained.
‘Theron…!’
Elias anxiously watched Theron. As a Swordmaster, he was formidable, but his strength was still limited to that of a human.
Currently, Mammon had absorbed all the power of both gods and demons. It was a level beyond what a mere human could easily overcome.
Chaaang—!
Fortunately, Mammon didn’t seem intent on immediately killing Theron. Their swords clashed multiple times without Mammon dealing a fatal blow.
“You… might be of some use. How about it? Come to my side now.”
Mammon regarded Theron highly. He wanted to make a human of considerable strength one of his followers. Moreover, this one was Elias’ lover.
“If you come to me now, I’ll even spare that child.”
Mammon said this seductively. Theron’s gaze hardened.
“Ridiculous. You think you’d keep that promise after imprisoning Eli?”
Theron answered boldly, showing no fear even against the Great Demon.
“Hoho, fascinating. I wish I’d known sooner that a human like you existed,” Mammon said, licking his lips in amusement.
Theron gripped his sword tightly, thinking to himself:
‘Damn it, Lilith… please come quickly.’
Theron knew all too well that Mammon was toying with him. But Lilith had to arrive before Mammon lost interest.
Only then could they escape this situation. Especially since just before coming to find Elias, Lilith had promised to save him at all costs.
If they could just hold out until Lilith arrived, there might be a way.
Theron resolved to endure, though he knew the danger if Mammon lost interest.
“Now, I’ll ask one last time. Will you join me?”
The smile slowly faded from Mammon’s face. Theron still answered with unwavering seriousness.
“No. I refuse.”
“Ah, what a shame.”
The moment he finished speaking, Mammon disappeared again, reappearing behind Theron.
Puh—!
Theron collapsed under Mammon’s attack.
“Theron—!!”
Elias’ eyes widened, her tears immediately turning red around the rims.
“Eli…”
Theron’s body crumpled, and his eyes gradually closed. Elias couldn’t say a word.
‘It’s… my fault…’
She thought she should have just told everyone to run. Her pointless hope had caused them all to be lost.
“Ah… ahhh…”
Thick tears streamed down Elias’ face. Mammon, seeing this, approached her with a bright smile.
“You seem very sad.”
“Mammon…!”
Elias glared at him. Mammon, moving closer, lightly gestured in the air.
At that moment, Theron, Seria, and Pelles’ bodies were lifted into the air. With another gesture from Mammon, their bodies were thrown in front of the iron bars.
“Now, I’ll give you the special mercy of a final farewell.”
Mammon said this with an evil grin. Elias shouted at him.
“Just kill me! Don’t touch the others! They have nothing to do with this!”
“Haha, I can’t do that. I want to see you suffer. That way, my past years will be justified.”
Mammon smirked.
“Well, it seems you don’t want a proper farewell, so I have no choice.”
He spoke lowly and extended his hand toward the three. Dark energy began condensing in his palm.
Elias recognized it immediately. It was Mammon’s demonic energy, manifesting the killing intent within him.
“Please… stop…!”
“Feel endless pain.”
Mammon ignored her pleas. His dark energy flew toward the three.
Kugugung—!
At that moment, the sky shook with a tremendous roar. Mammon paused, sensing something unusual.
It wasn’t just a feeling—Elias’ gaze, which had been crying moments ago, now extended far into the distance.
Though tears still flowed, her expression had brightened.
Mammon turned his head to assess the situation—and saw the rift in the sky.
Beyond the fracture was the dark sky of the demon realm.
And descending from it was a single presence.
“Li… Lilith…!”
Truly, it was the Great Demon’s ‘Descent.’
