Chapter 775 You’re the same
Mephisto had a look of absolute shock on his face as his face was planted on the ground.
He tried to push himself off the ground, but he found that he wasn't able to push off at all. It was as if there was some kind of invisible pressure that was pressed down on him that prevented him from moving.
No, even before that...it was as if there was some kind of prestige about the other side that made him unable to fight back.
It was as if he himself didn't even want to resist the pressure that was on him.
For a Demon Count like Mephisto to feel that way, there was only one explanation.
It was that there was a higher ranked demon that was on the opposite side of this pressure that was forcing him to submit.
But no matter how he looked at this human, he didn't seem like any kind of higher ranked demon. No matter how he looked at him, it was clear that this person was nothing more than a lowly human.
How could a lowly human possibly make him feel this way?
After dealing with Mephisto, I turned back to look at Duke Yuletide and asked, "Is there anything else that you have to save yourself with? If you do, you should use it while you still have the chance. Don't regret it later, thinking that you should have done something while you could have."
Duke Yuletide looked at me in shock when he heard this.
The expression on his face twisted and he looked like he had swallowed something disgusting, but he didn't say anything in response to this.
If he really did have something else, he would have already used it.
So the only thing that he could do now was hope that Mephisto still had another trick up his sleeve.
Seeing the way that he looked at Mephisto, I knew that there was nothing left up his sleeve.
So it seemed like it would be time to completely crush his hopes.
I turned back to Mephisto, who trembled when he saw me looking in his direction.
With the way that he was looking at me, it was almost as if he was hoping that I would forget about him.
I lifted my finger that had been pointing out the entire time and Mephisto felt like he could stand up again. However, the pressure had only been relieved enough that he was able to lift his head to look up at me.
It was still impossible for him to completely stand up just yet.
He looked at me with a terrified look and with the voice that he had regained, he asked, "Just who are you?"
I shook my head as I said, "That isn't what you should be asking. I think you would rather want to know what I am, right?"
Mephisto's eyes opened wide when he heard this.
Though he didn't say anything, the expression on his face made it clear that this was indeed what he wanted to ask. He just couldn't figure out how this human was able to suppress him like this.
But I just said, "That's not something for you to know."
Mephisto slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but instead of wasting time trying to say anything else, he said, "Just let me go then. Since we come from the same source, there's no need for you to do this."
With a faint smile, I stepped forward a bit and spoke in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "When did demons let each other go?"
His eyes opened wide as he said, "So you're really a…"
Before he could finish, I brought my finger down again.
The moment that my finger came down, the same pressure fell over Mephisto and he could no longer speak.
I raised my other hand and pulled out a sword from my Storage Ring.
I jumped off Joan and landed beside Mephisto, raising the sword as I landed.
Mephisto looked at me with a look as if he was asking me not to do this, but I didn't listen at all.
The runes that were on the sword lit up before I brought the sword down on Mephisto's neck. There was no resistance at all as his head was severed from his body, turning a few times in the air before landing on the ground.
However, there wasn't a single drop of blood that came from the corpse.
It was as if there was no blood at all in his body with how dry his neck was.
But after that, the head and the body suddenly dissipated into black energy that disappeared without a trace.
The fourth prince slowly came over and asked, "What happened?"
"It was an avatar. It wasn't his real body that was summoned, but rather his avatar, so he's not really dead." I said in a calm voice.
"He's not dead?" The fourth prince asked in a worried voice.
I just gave a simple nod in response.
The fourth prince deeply knitted his brows and looked at me with a worried look, but I said, "Don't worry, if he comes back, I have my ways of dealing with him."
That was right.
I might not have had a way to deal with demons before, but now…I didn't fear them at all.
That was why I had shown no mercy to Mephisto just now.
There was still a trace of doubt in the fourth prince's eyes, but he eventually gave a nod to show that he understood before turning to look at Duke Yuletide who had collapsed onto the ground.
There was a look of absolute shock on Duke Yuletide's face as if he couldn't believe what had just happened.
I saw the fourth prince looking at the duke, so I said, "It's time for you to suffer the consequences of your actions."
The fourth prince nodded in agreement before sending his elite guards forward to capture Duke Yuletide.
Duke Yuletide didn't resist at all since he knew that he had been completely defeated, but it didn't seem like he had lost all hope yet.
