Benjamin's joke lightened the atmosphere, kind of.
It calmed the nerves of this group of players who've spent hours challenging this terrifying dungeon at Hell Mode.
It changed nothing though; they still had a final boss battle to fight.
The battle began with ruin and fire.
Asmodeus didn't move fast; he didn't have to. He was a mountain that crushed all beneath him. Every swing of his Greataxe shattered the earth, every stomp sent shockwaves rippling, every roar burned the air itself.
You would think that unlike against the other Demon Lords when they fought against them and their summoned minions, since it was just Asmodeus this time, it was supposed to be easier but fighting this terrifying demon was anything but easy.
He was a walking calamity.
And Noah's team? Elite pro players. Warstar Veterans they were. But even they, together struggled against the King of Hell.
One on one? No chance.
