"Despicable! Do you really think holding the Son of Satan hostage can stop us?"
In front of the weapons base, the Fire Demon, who was holding a human hostage, seemed to misunderstand something when he saw Adam and Mike standing together.
"Mike, be careful. That guy will definitely threaten you with the hostage…" Raphael, who had been frustrated by the Fire Demon using hostages before, quietly reminded Mike.
Speaking of which, as a kind angel, Raphael indeed had many "inconveniences," such as being threatened with hostages.
However, for Mike, there was no need to dwell on such things. With his absolute power, he could achieve both rescuing people and killing enemies.
[Flame Demon * Energy + 5000]… [Flame Affinity (Trait)]… [Vampire * Energy + 3000]… [Bat Transformation Power (Trait)]…
Just as Mike collected the traits from the Fire Demon and the White Duke and was about to act, the Fire Demon suddenly spoke wisely: "If you want this human in my hand to live, you can exchange him for the Son of Satan. How about it, consider it—"
Adam, who possessed a Demon Heart, was strictly speaking, also a "child" of Satan.
Although the Fire Demon was arrogant, he did not dare to disregard the other party's life.
Adam, standing behind, didn't know why the Fire Demon valued him so much. But upon hearing the other party's words, the little guy hesitated for a moment, then stepped slightly forward.
Apparently, this simple farm boy wanted to exchange himself for that innocent ordinary person.
Mike, who had mind-reading abilities, completely guessed the little guy's intention. He smiled and rubbed his head, saying, "Don't be so nervous. I told you before, if it's just this level of trouble, I can completely handle it…"
As he spoke, Mike reached out and clenched his hand, and the Hellfire on the Fire Demon's body extinguished.
"How is this possible!!!"
Feeling the loss of his flame power, the Fire Demon's face showed an expression of disbelief, and then he stubbornly tried to activate the Hellfire within his body.
However, all of this was useless in front of the powerful Mike.
"You like playing with fire, do you? Then you also taste what it's like to be burned by raging flames!" Mike first waved his hand, remotely summoning the hostage from the Fire Demon's hand, and then used an enhanced version of flame power to condense another flaming dragon.
The dragon roared and crashed into the Fire Demon, who was doubting his life.
Immediately, the heart-wrenching screams of the Fire Demon came from within the raging, dragon-shaped flames.
Before long, the screams disappeared. When Mike dispersed the flames, only a humanoid black shadow remained on the ground.
The Fire Demon, who had played with flames his entire life, was ultimately burned to ashes by flames, which could be considered a "fitting end."
"How can he be so strong!" The White Duke, who had followed to watch the commotion, witnessed the entire process of the Fire Demon being killed.
Terrified and pale, he no longer cared about Satan's mission. A strong premonition of danger made him turn and flee into the distance without a second thought.
"I'll leave that remaining minion to you. There won't be any more accidents this time, right?"
Mike withdrew his gaze, giving Raphael an opportunity to show off.
Facts proved that even angels had tempers.
Freed from the concern of hostages, Raphael transformed into a white light without a word and pursued the White Duke in the direction he fled.
"Is it really okay to let Raphael chase him?" For Adam, who had little experience, the White Duke's Vampire appearance was indeed very intimidating.
Moreover, Raphael seemed to have been defeated by the Fire Demon and the White Duke before.
So, seeing Raphael chase alone, the simple-natured Adam was a little worried about him.
"Don't worry, Raphael isn't as weak as you think. If he gets serious, that Vampire won't last more than two moves…" Given the little guy's brave performance earlier, Mike didn't mind explaining a couple more sentences to him.
Don't look at Raphael usually appearing gentle and kind; his combat power is actually not low.
After all, he was an old fellow who had been an angel for thousands of years; how could he not have means to defeat enemies?
What's more, angelic power naturally countered evil Vampires.
In summary, if Raphael couldn't deal with the White Duke this time, then he wouldn't need to be an angel anymore.
To avoid shaming God…
Meanwhile, Raphael, with a huge advantage, clearly had no accidents. He quickly caught up to the fleeing the White Duke and purified him using Power of Faith.
Then, this angel, who had completed his mission, rushed towards the black mist of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
He was clearly going to support his good buddies.
…
Ten minutes later, the rolling black mist in the distance gradually dissipated. Raphael and Crowley, each carrying two Apocalypse Knights, arrived before Mike.
"Little master, please bestow us with power, and let us clear the obstacles for you in conquering the human world…"
Before Raphael and Crowley could speak, the four Apocalypse Knights, who were in extremely poor condition, noticed Adam.
Adam, who possessed a Demon Heart, held a portion of Satan's authority and could indeed bestow stronger power upon the Apocalypse Knights.
However, Adam, who had a clear understanding of his own alignment, did not respond to the four Apocalypse Knights.
In fact, because the four Apocalypse Knights' gazes were too fervent, the little guy unconsciously hid behind Mike again.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Crowley, seeing this, glared hatefully at the four defeated Apocalypse Knights.
Raphael, at his side, took the opportunity to explain to Mike: "These four Apocalypse Knights are demons born from War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. Crowley and my power cannot completely destroy them…"
Fundamentally speaking, the four Apocalypse Knights in front of them could be considered conceptual demons. As long as there was war in the world, they could draw power from it and reappear.
[Apocalypse * Energy + 4000 (War)]… [Apocalypse * Energy + 3000 (Famine)]… [Apocalypse * Energy + 3000 (Pestilence)]… [Apocalypse * Energy + 45000 (Death)]… [Apocalypse * Conceptual God (Pseudo)]…
"Can't be killed?" Mike put away the traits from the four Apocalypse Knights, showing an interested smile, and said, "Then kill them until they are afraid, until they dare not appear!"
The Apocalypse Conceptual God could be seen as a form of authority, and now Mike also possessed it.
This meant that in the future, whenever war, famine, etc., appeared, Mike could also share in the power.
This situation would invisibly weaken the strength of the four Apocalypse Knights by half.
And each Apocalypse Knight, from birth to growth, took hundreds or even thousands of years to calculate.
Therefore, as long as these four Apocalypse Knights were killed now, they would not be a threat to humanity for a very long time.
Having made his decision, Mike directly summoned the divine artifact Flame Greatsword from his body.
This divine artifact, stolen by Raphael from God, could directly harm souls. Using it to kill the Apocalypse Knights might further prolong their resurrection time.
Then, under the urging of Power of Faith, white translucent flames, raging yet mixed with holy radiance, burned on the Flame Greatsword.
After one flash of the glowing sword, only the Death Knight remained among the four Apocalypse Knights.
It must be said that this demon, who drew power from death, indeed had unique qualities.
"Mighty Lord of Hell! I beg for your appearance with my life…!!!…"
The Death Knight, knowing he could not escape this calamity, looked towards Adam, who possessed a Demon Heart, and then transformed into a black mist, merging into his body.
Immediately, the restrictions on Adam were completely broken, and the aura of the King of Hell once again descended upon the human world.
