This is bad, his Power Level is over five times higher than mine! I’ve never seen anything even close to this powerful before, how...how the hell are we supposed to beat this Monster?!

He had medium-length dark blue hair that was slicked off to the left, green eyes, with a strong, muscular build.

He was wearing a long black coat that went past his knees, with a white shirt and black trousers underneath.

He was slumped back in his seat, an amused look on his face as he stared at us. His guard was completely down, but it was no use, all of us were too terrified to attack.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Archdemon Shiffer Pryes. Now, I’m sure you’re all confused as to how you got here. It is thanks to my Demonic Art, Warp Trap.

I cast it on the level below, and set it to trigger if any humans tried to retreat. But fear, I will not use that ability in this battle, it would be overkill.

Actually, even calling what’s about to happen a battle is rather-...," He laughed, before trailing off as the Detector spun around and shot towards the tunnel in a panic, the Demon sighing and adding, "I wouldn’t do that, if I were you."

The instant she took a step into the tunnel, she suddenly vanished, before a sharp squelch suddenly rang out from the middle of the space.

I turned my gaze in the direction the sound had come from, to see a large lump on the ground, streaks of blood trickling out through the dirt.

Did...did she just get teleported underground and crushed?

"No...," Uttered Kelsey, as we stared silently as the mound.

"I have set a Warp Trap by the entrance, if any of you try to leave, you’ll get teleported below the dirt and die. The only way to get rid of the Warp Trap is to kill me," The Archdemon informed us with a smirk, before adding as he leaned back in his seat, "Now, let’s begin, shall we? You can attack me first. But take too long and I shall make the first move myself."

"We...we have no choice but to fight. Damien!" Exclaimed Kelsey, steeling herself as she swung her warhammer across.

"Right, [Stamina Recovery], [Mana Recovery], [High Reinforce], [High Accel], [High Fortify], [High Magic Boost]!" He chanted rapidly, casting several buffs on the front and mid lines.

"<Arouse>," I chanted with a grimace, boosting myself...with Damien’s Enchantments stacked on top of this, I should be at least close to the level I reach with Enrage.

But that’s still far, far below the level this Archdemon is at. We’ll just have to hope that our combined efforts will be enough to take him down.

"[Blaze Ignition]!" Exclaimed Aria, a burst of heat erupting around her as she unleashed her Skill.

Ai, distribute the points I got from the Greater Demons. Now.

<Right away>

"Now, <Emerge, Apostle of Lust: Luxuria>!"

"Oh? What do we have here?" Mused the Archdemon in fascination, as Luxuria appeared before me.

"Attack, NOW!!!" Exclaimed Kelsey, as she shot forward.

"Go high and attack with a barrage of those Negative Energy blasts!" I instructed Luxuria, as Aria raced towards the Archdemon too.

"<Understood, Master, leave it to me>."

"[Icicle Scattershot]!"

"[Giant Wind Ball Scattershot]!"

I drew out my blade and sprinted across the space as a barrage of icicles and wind blasts shot out towards the Archdemon, followed by a volley of Negative Energy blasts as Luxuria shot up into the air and fired down at the Archdemon.

He scoffed in amusement before whipped his right arm across, unleashing an intense, devastating wave of Negative Energy, blowing the incoming attacks away, right as Kelsey closed in and leapt forward, swinging her hammer down with a roar of exertion.

He lifted his gaze before raising his left arm, blunting her swing as it slammed against his palm, before clamping his hand around the head of the hammer, her eyes widening as cracks rapidly spread across it, right as the Archdemon shattered it to pieces.

He caught her leg as she swung a kick across at his side, before she let out a yell as he jerked her up and off the ground before flinging her away with a powerful flick of his wrist.

She went hurtling across the space before crashing onto the wall to the left, a shaky groan ringing out as she slumped to the ground, trembling in pain.

"You BASTARD!!! [Wind Spear Scattershot]!" Yelled Keira furiously, firing off a barrage of piercing wind projectiles.

Aria halted and sprang back before she could get caught up in the attack, a flash of black bursting out as the Archdemon unleashed another intense wave of Negative Energy, blowing the attacks away.

"Calm down, we can’t afford to let our coordination fall apart!" The Ice Mage snapped at her, as Aria shot towards the Demon again.

I was close behind her, her stopping thanks to Keira’s poorly-timed attack gave me the chance to catch up, before I zipped across to the left as she went right.

His gaze shifted towards her as she closed in and leapt towards his left, the heat surrounding her intensifying as she drove her right fist forward with a burst of flames from her elbow.

He smirked as he raised his hand, looking to block her strike with his palm, before a startled cry rang out as an intense burst of flames erupted as her fist slammed against his palm.

I sprang in towards his right as he suddenly whipped his tail out, striking Aria’s stomach as his right hand simultaneously shot out towards me, grabbing my throat right as a fiery explosion burst out as his tail collided against Aria’s stomach.

His tail got blown back, but even with the explosion of flames, he still managed to hit her with enough force to send her flying back, before he tightened his grip on my neck as her feet hit the ground and skidded back.

She collapsed onto one knee with a pained grimace, before the Demon swung his left arm out as Luxuria came swooping down towards him, striking her face and launching her away upon impact, a loud crash ringing out before he turned his attention back to me.

"Now, then-...hm? What-...no, impossible," He uttered as his gaze fell onto Desecrator, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"<MANA PULSE>!!!" I roared as I grabbed his forearm, a sharp yelp ringing out as he abruptly lost his grasp over me, his arm trembling and spasming violently.

Several Negative Energy blasts came shooting in towards him from the right along with icicles from in front, as I got low and leapt in towards him, driving my arm forward as fast as I could while the incoming attacks had him distracted, slamming my palm against his solar plexus before chanting...

"<MANA PULSE>!!!"
