Chapter 179: The Return of a Useless Dreamer


    First came the army of the undead, with theirnces pointed at the Devil.


    A lightning bolt cracked behind them, elongating their shadow towards him. The Devil melted into the shadows and appeared among the thick of the army. And with a tiny flick of the Pir of Footprints, hundreds of undead soldiers got sent flying into the air.


    "Expand!"


    The Devil aimed at the soldiers in the air andmanded the Pir. The ck Bull''s eyes glowed and the Pir, in an instant, went up to the sky and came back. Not caring for the disintegrated soldiers in the air, an emerald point of light originated in the Devil''s eyes.


    FLAW DETECTION!


    The Devil maneuvered the pir, leaving behind purple burrs, as he kept decimating the soldiers, pieces by pieces. But noiselessly, a clear water drop came rushing towards him like an apparition. The Devil''s eyes stared at Tomiv''s blessing, and aiming the water-drop, he threw the pir, like a bolt of lightning.


    BOOM!


    The Pir broke the sound barrier, exploding hundreds of soldiers, and soon a ghostly figure of a ck bull surrounded the pir.


    ROARRR!


    The bull bellowed and smashed into the water-drop. For a second, the entire za seemed to have be an ocean, undergoing earthquakes. Massive illusory tsunamis arose, washing away thousands of undead, and drowned them into the unreal ocean.


    Above the Devil, the blurry golden trident changed its orientation and aimed itself at him. But before it coulde out of the eye-like hole in the sky, a world trampling foot appeared above it. The foot covered the entire sky, and the line on its sole felt like mile-deep ravines.


    Roarrrrrrrr!!


    The bull again roared, not in defiance, but submission. The Pir came rushing towards the Devil''s hands as the naked foot touched the trident. No sound of that world-ending impact entered the za, but the illusory ocean vanished, leaving behind traces of its wrath. The Devil vanished and appeared in front of Tomiv, who had taken out a Bazooka.


    "Impudent!"


    With an annoyed mutter, the Devil hit Tomiv''s arms with the Pir, making them useless. And a swift kick sted Tomiv''s head out of his torso. Behind him, the image of Evesting Venomous Rose was taking shape. The Devil saw Trifon summoning the ancestral spirit and let out an evil grin.


    Hehe!


    "Intimidation!"


    Trifon''s head jolted back, and the Skill got canceled. But before he could shake off the Intimidations'' effect, the Devil had already arrived behind him. Undead Trifon''s hollowed eyes couldn''t reflect the ckened face as the Devil opened his jaw wide and bit off Trifon''s head.


    "GO! Pussy Pussy!!"


    A shout came from the Devil''s left, and a purple kittennded on the top of the pir. The Devil''s eyes became wide as a chip fell off from the pir where the paws of the kitten hade in contact. He saw a mirror hovering above the purple-haired Christin and let go of the Pir. His purple eyes gave an emerald glow as he appeared above the mirror and cut it in half using the Broken Faith.


    The Devil''s feetnded on Christin''s head, crushing it in pulp, and the purple kitten vanished. But before the pir could return to him, TIZONA and COLADA shed by his eyes. El Cid had made his move.


    By this time, the unrestrained use of Skills had raised the Penalty so high that even his Shared Vision could hardly see any Stat over the Undeads.


    The Devil''s feet broke down into the shadow blobs, and the swords passed over his head, cutting a few of his dense purple hair. He threw the Katana at the Boss Crawler, but before it could hit, the sword vanished. It was just a distraction. Broken faith wasn''t enough to handle two Count Ranked Items.


    The Devil''s hand reached towards the Pir and the Rumok on his hand glowed.


    "No more resurrection, bitch! I am going to seal you for eternity. Rot here, along with your Legend!"


    As the Katana vanished and merged back into the Devil, the Pir got pulled and appeared in his hand. The Devil''s purple, golden, and emerald-colored eyes looked at the Boss in search of all the ws. El Cid raised Tizona to use a Skill, but the Devil had already struck the Crawler''s wrist using the Pir. The useless wrist couldn''t hold the sword and it fell, making El Cid squint his red eyes.


    HAHA!


    The Devil let out augh and mocked.


    "What are you thinking?!"


    The Cda shed and gave out an icy burst of Mana, but the Devil didn''t go for the blue sword. He smashed the Pir to his right, and it hit the Boss Crawler''s leg, who wasing for the Devil''s head. The Boss staggered as he lost the sense in his left leg and, in sheer terror, shouted at the Devil.


    "You! You can see the future?!!!"


    The Devil gave a horror-inducing smile that made the Boss visibly shiver. El Cid dashed toward Tizona, to use One Step Shunpo and get away from the Devil, but another flurry of the Pir made the Boss lose every sense of his body.


    Thump!


    The Devil eyed El Cid''s sprawled figure and put his leg over his chest armor.


    "Wait here! I am going to take care of these ants."


    What ensued wasn''t just a blood bath but a pure massacre. The entire za was covered in purple and emerald shes, and the figure of a massive pir could be seen appearing and vanishing here and there. Thousands of soldiers got pulled and annihted under the sheer weight of the pir. And what had left of the undead Dreamers also got crushed under the Devil''s wrath.


    The Devil approached El Cid and seemed a little out of breath. All the Skills, and fight had left him out of Mana and Stamina. The only reason he had been so careless about the Penalty was that he knew that other than Boss, none could kill him in one attack. That''s why only after making sure that El Cid''s couldn''t move, he had gone for the rest of puny things.


    Or, so he thought.


    "After sealing you, I will y you and cut off your dick. Let those whoe after me see what worthless crap you are."


    The Devil let go of the pir and his hand reached towards El Cid''s helmet. His Perception was still in its Zero state, and the w Detection had gone into cooldown. So when the Boss''s stomach sted open it took the Devilpletely off-guard.


    In sheer shock, the Devil saw what he had thought to be the Boss Crawler changed to a hideous being. And a crawled-up body of a ck armored knight, wrapped in tentacles, slipped out of the hideous creature''s stomach. A distant memory came to the Devil as he realized what the creature was.


    It was an Undead Changeling.


    The Devil was still thinking why the Boss Crawler would let himself be taken over by a Changeling when one more body came out of the Changeling''s stomach. But there were no tentacles attached to him. The Devil didn''t immediately recognize the funny-looking hippie man covered in juices and blurted out.


    "Who the fuck are you?!"


    The hippie extended his hand towards the Devil and muttered.


    "I I am Mantis, and I am not known by any other name


    LIFE-STEAL!!!"


    Before the Devil could even use Shadow Blink, everything in front of his eyes had be darker than dark.<ol><li>Pressure Points</li></ol>
