Chapter 381: Black Catcher

"Didn't hit it?"

Seeing the Darkness Devil rising again, Hirofumi Yoshida also said subconsciously.

"That's not right." The one who answered him was Quanxi: "I saw it very clearly, the attack just now did indeed completely destroy its body. This must be some kind of resurrection ability."

"Just like you?"

After hearing this, Kishibe also glanced at Quanxi.

"Not sure." Quanxi shook her head: "But it feels like it should be tougher to deal with than me and the Chainsaw Man, right? After all... we are not even on the same level as it."

"This is probably... the immortality of a fundamental level?"

The Angel Devil, hearing the conversation, couldn't help but speak: "I told you just now, it's the primal Devil that has never experienced death. It seems now, as long as hell still has darkness... then even if it is blown to ashes, it can resurrect."

"Doesn't that make it invincible?"

Kishibe said.

"Perhaps so." The Angel Devil said, and then suddenly took a deep breath: "But don't be too pessimistic, after all... we also have a monster on our side."

Hearing the Angel Devil's statement.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the small hill not far away.

And just with that look, everyone suddenly discovered that Fang Mo, at some point, had a white small ball in his hand, this small light ball was emitting a kind of heart-throbbing destructive aura.

"Run."

Seeing this scene, Hayakawa Aki immediately reacted, hurriedly said: "In the upcoming battle, let's not talk about intervening, even surviving is going to be difficult, in any case, flee as far as we can..."

"Yeah, even if we wanted to intervene, we wouldn't be able to."

The Angel Devil agreed: "But... luckily I still have wings."

As someone who has been with Fang Mo for a long time, Hayakawa Aki had a say, so everyone immediately began to evacuate. The Darkness Devil on the other side didn't care about them, in fact, after the attack just now, it had already focused all its attention on Fang Mo.

Just then, the Darkness Devil suddenly raised its hand.

The four human bodies composing its thorax all brought their hands together in prayer, and with a snap, Fang Mo immediately felt an external force forcefully twisting his body.

In truth, the opponent's strength was indeed quite formidable, certainly much greater than the Captain of Bleach. If Fang Mo were to remain in his normal state, he would undoubtedly lose health, especially since he hadn't strengthened his armor for quite some time now.

However, Fang Mo had now activated the beacon. The power from the lower realms intertwined with the divine power from Ego, filling him with a near-infinite light, rendering it impossible for the Darkness Devil to twist him.

"Is that all?"

Fang Mo taunted the Darkness Devil from afar, "I exert more force spinning than you do. Haven't you eaten?"

...

Seeing that the attack was futile, the Darkness Devil seemed to get a bit angry. With a single hand gesture, a large black sword adorned with bells suddenly emerged from the darkness behind him.

"Hm?"

Fang Mo was momentarily taken aback upon seeing the sword.

However, the Darkness Devil didn't care about that and directly pointed at him. Subsequently, the sword transformed into a dark gloom of light and flew out.

Yet, contrary to what the Darkness Devil had anticipated,

Without any warning, Fang Mo suddenly raised his hand and snapped up the blade, his body emitting a dazzling bright light. The sword, composed of darkness, seemed to be weakened by this, struggling to break free from his grasp but to no avail.

Thus, the Darkness Devil could only watch helplessly...

As Fang Mo plucked two bells off his sword.

"Hmm, these bells sound quite clear," Fang Mo commented after shaking the bells, then smiled contentedly, "Nice, I'll put these on Makima in a few days. It'll also give you a sense of participation... I remember you don't like Makima much, right?"

...

The Darkness Devil was utterly disconcerted upon hearing this.

It didn't really know what Fang Mo was planning, but it knew that the latter had deliberately torn off its small bells.

Therefore, the Darkness Devil made a prayer gesture with both hands, and then its cape suddenly expanded rapidly outward, turning the whole world into pitch black, even dimming the light emanating from Fang Mo to a great extent.

This was probably some kind of power of the opponent.

Similar to those methods that use power to distort reality.

Fang Mo did have some understanding of the Darkness Devil. Despite the latter's seemingly numerous flashy attack methods, its real ability was actually just one: the darker the environment he is in, the stronger it becomes. And unfortunately, this creature could actively create an environment of absolute darkness.

Just like now.

The moment the Darkness Devil raised its hand.

Centered on itself, the entire hell seemed to plunge into pure darkness.

Within this Dark Domain, the Darkness Devil pointed again, continuing its attack on Fang Mo, who, upon seeing this, directly threw the light orb in his hand.

The majestic energy of light exploded, tearing a large hole through the pitch-black curtain.

But in the next second, the surrounding darkness immediately filled in, instantly devouring this area, as if it were the cold, dark space of the universe.

And before Fang Mo could react,

He felt as if his body was attacked by something.

Steve's health bar flickered but did not decrease; it was unclear whether the attack failed to break through the defense or if it had healed instantly after breaking through.

Of course, there was no helping it, given that Fang Mo's means of regenerating health were plentiful.

The emerald component he possessed inherently had a healing function, then he also had the Crimson Ring, and the power of the Nether activated by the beacon also had strong healing abilities, not to mention the divine sword of healing within Fang Mo's body.

"Dark domain, huh?"

Fang Mo wasn't too worried, rather he was happier the stronger the material for his weapon: "Hmm, seems like a pretty good skill, then I should take it a bit more seriously."

With that, he directly took out two giant swords as big as door panels.

One of them, on the left, burned with fierce flames, while the other, on the right, radiated dazzling light.

"A little chubby guy told me, darkness can devour everything." Fang Mo slowly lifted one of the giant swords in his hands: "Then... try to devour this?"

After saying this, Fang Mo thrust Claustralus into the ground.

A torrent of light burst forth instantly, and the entire land emitted a distressed wail, followed by countless cracks spreading out from Claustralus, emitting endless white light instead of darkness.

As a celestial being, Ego possesses nearly infinite energy of light.

In the original story, he controlled Peter Quill and was ready to cover and devour the surfaces of hundreds of planets instantly. How could hell be bigger than these hundreds of planets?

So, in the next second,

The dark domain became like a mirror about to shatter.

With a crack, the darkness created by the Darkness Devil was instantly shattered by the force of light, and as the domain broke, those specters hidden in the darkness were all exposed.

Looking around, the hills and fields were full of rugged, strange shadows.

These creatures were thin, humanoid monsters, completely withered and shriveled, very similar to the creatures that composed the body of the Darkness Devil. After being illuminated by the light, they let out miserable howls.

"Hmm?"

Seeing these monsters, Fang Mo was first taken aback, then immediately understood the nature of the Darkness Devil.

Yes, the Darkness Devil is born from life's fear of darkness and the unknown, so its entity is not the triangular-headed monster seen by people before, but the concept of 'the unknown in the darkness' itself.

The attacks of the Darkness Devil seem to only involve pointing a finger at the enemy.

But in reality, it utilizes darkness to create unknown evils and then allows these monsters hiding in the darkness to ambush their prey, creating an incomprehensible method of attack.

As long as darkness exists.

Life will still fear those unknown entities.

It is known that the oldest and most intense emotion of mankind is fear, and that the strongest fear comes from the fear of the unknown. Therefore, the Darkness Devil can indeed be called a primal Devil. In this aspect, it truly qualifies.

Unfortunately.

Fang Mo has no interest in reasoning with it.

The energy from the core of the planet Ego is being extracted by him continuously, turning the entire hell into a kingdom of light, leaving the Darkness Devil unsure of what to do. Clasping its hands together again, the darkness it had just created was forcibly dispersed by the white light.

"Darkness, you say?"

Fang Mo smiled, lifting the Laevatein in his hand, then sweeping it across.

The sweeping blade's enchantment was activated, and rolling flames surged out like a tide, turning the mountainous and widespread ghastly shadows into ashes with their wails.

"A primal Devil, you say?"

Fang Mo advanced, thrusting his sword towards the Darkness Devil. The latter tried to summon its own sword to block, but within this kingdom of light, its power was epically weakened, allowing Fang Mo to pierce through its chest with a single strike.

Before it could even let out a scream from the several human heads in its chest.

The body of the Darkness Devil was turned into a huge fireball by the Laevatein.

The opponent clearly wanted to struggle, but the flames attached to the Laevatein were as hot as 15 million degrees, akin to being thrown into the sun to burn, almost instantly turning it into ashes.

Even the ground beneath its feet vaporized and sublimated, triggering a series of violent explosions.

However, very quickly.

The Darkness Devil was reborn again.

Yes, although the entire land had turned into an ocean of light, truthfully, light and shadow are a pair of twins. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.

But it's worth mentioning that this time, the Darkness Devil was reborn from the crack of a door at the zenith.

And after its rebirth, it did not continue to confront Fang Mo but instead turned around and moved towards a wooden door, clearly no longer wanting to fight and seemingly in a hurry to flee.

Its desire to leave.

Does not mean Fang Mo would agree.

A flash of white light, and a cyan-gray giant sword was thrust into its body from below, followed by Fang Mo's voice.

"Thinking of leaving after damaging the farm tools?"

A flash of black light, and Fang Mo was already standing in front of the Darkness Devil, hefting the Endersword in his hand with ill intent: "Did you ask for my opinion?"

"..."

The Darkness Devil now truly had no choice but to continue to resist.

But before it could even raise its hand, Fang Mo had fiercely plunged the Endersword into its body: "Little black one! Behold my slave-catching sword!"
