Chapter 429 428- Strength Vs Brain
The caster spat a liquid on his hand and kept spatting until it took the shape of a sword with hundreds of stingers coming out of it.
Even a normal person could assume that the sword was venomous and filled with poison.
The caster looked at Zach and showed him the sword as it stepped closer to Asmodeus.
"Hehe! What will you do now, huh? You are stuck in that domain, and you can't even come closer to this domain. I will kill this girl in front of you, and you will do nothing but watch!
I know you are just a pathetic weak insect who can't do anything but talk big, but don't you worry… I won't kill you or hurt you. I will let you live with a memory of me killing this girl mercilessly in front of you! A memory that will haunt you forever!"
Zach ordered the monsters inside Asmodues' domain to save her, and they did.
All the monsters turned to the caster and started attacking him, but they were of no match to the caster. As soon as the caster's sword touched the monster's skin, their bodies burned and eventually turned into acid.
Even if Asmodeus somehow woke up before the caster killed her, even if she put up a fight with the caster, if the sword touched any part of her body, she would end up the same as the monsters.
The caster raised his sword and laughed out loud before yelling, "Are you feeling the despair of not being able to save someone close to you?! Are you feeling hopeless? Of course, you do! But this is just a start! You will feel much worse soon!"
"You are watching—!" He looked at Zach while lowering his sword but stopped when he couldn't see Zach in his position.
"Eh?" He glanced around, but Zach was nowhere to be seen. "Impossible! The domain is still in full effect, and no one can leave my domain without my permission! Where did he go!"
"Oi! You were using some real fancy word from that ugly mouth of yours."
The caster jolted and slowly jerked his head back to see Zach standing right behind him.
"Impossible—!" Zach grabbed the caster by his neck and choked him while lifting him up in the air.
"You, son of a bitch! How dare you try to threaten me!"
Zach crushed the caster's neck, but instead of blood or bone cracking sound, a yellow slimy liquid came out of the caster's body, and Zach felt like he was crushing an insect.
"Damn, he was an insect from the inside too. I just thought he liked wearing the ugly outfit to scare others, but ain't no way you are scaring anyone, dude."
Zach tossed the caster's body on the ground and stepped forward. But he stopped and glanced back at the caster.
"Oh? You are still alive even after I broke your neck?" Zach placed his feet on the caster's chest and said, "Stop pretending to be dead. I heard you let out a grunt when I smashed you on the ground."
The caster opened his eyes and begged, "Please, spare my life! We can talk! I will let you go and never mess with you again!"
"Oh, so now you want to talk, huh? What happened to all the big words you were speaking a while ago and almost all the time ever since you trapped us in your domain?"
"That was a mistake. I was just doing my job. I had no idea you were so formidable!"
"I don't think I have any reason to let you go," Zach shrugged.
"I will remove the domain if you let me go!"
"It will automatically disappear once I kill you," Zach scoffed. "Try something else."
"I will tell you anything you want! You are trying to find a way to enter inner hell, right?! I will lead you there if you spare my life!" The caster was trying his best to offer everything he could in order to save his life.
"That's a nice offer, but I already have made a perfect plan to enter the inner hell, so you are useless to me."
"What do you want?! I will give you anything you want in return if you spare my life!"
"I don't need anything, and I am sure as… well, hell, that you can't give me anything. Like come on, what can a dying man… or insect, give me?"
Zach applied a little pressure on his feet and began crushing the caster's chest.
"Argh! I will be your slave! Just spare my life!"
"I don't need a weak slave like you!"
Suddenly, the caster swung his sword and scraped Zach's leg.
"Hehahah! What an idiot! I was just buying some time to grab my sword and hit you! My venom has already entered your body, and you will burn from the inside in no time!"
"..."
"A battle is not all about strength, you need to use your mind too! Just because you are strong doesn't mean you can defeat those weaker than you! Now die!"
The caster swung his sword again, but this time, instead of making a cut, the sword broke into two.
"Wha…t?" The caster looked at the broken sword in his hand with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"I think you, of all people, shouldn't talk about brains. In fact, do you even have a brain? Your entire head has two big eyes and a long ass stinger. Where is the space for the good old brain?"
"Why… how are you still alive after being exposed to my venom?!" The caster yelled furiously.
"Your venom may be strong for the small monsters, but not for me. Just like how a bucket full of water can put off a fire on the branch but not the entire tree, your venom couldn't do shit to me because my body already has the deadliest venom."
"In short… tough luck, bitch!" Zach crushed the caster's chest and stomped on his head a few times to feel better.
