Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 362: The Demoness is Dead!

I kept moving my balloon over my players for long stressful minutes, while stealing glances all the time downwards, trying to see any sign of their improvement.

After a long half an hour, during which my spear managed to push back most of the hands here in this world, my players finally started to show up signs of life; they weren't dead, well not most of them of course.

In the next hour, I kept raining pearls, and my players started to have enough strength to stand up on their own legs. This scene was enough to cause quite a cheerful storm inside my heart, as I hurriedly shouted:

"Anyone who has any hearts, use them all! Take the extra and give them to your nearby players."

My voice kept echoing in this empty layer one time after another, as I never stopped shouting, ordering them to do the only thing that could keep their lives away from the doorsteps of death.

Luckily, over eighty percent of my army was alive! As for the other twenty percent, they were already dead! I sighed, as this loss was something inevitable, and I had to accept such a loss.

When everyone stood on their own strength, started taking out pearls and eating them, I finally had the mind to focus on the ongoing battle between my spear and that strange monster.

Each time my spear tried to penetrate the border, go deeply inside the monster, a huge number of arms would appear out of nowhere, showing themselves in between my spear and this monster.

It was apparently a battle of attrition. Despite having so many pearls, I had the feeling I was already on the losing end of the rope, and I didn't like this feeling!

"Listen up, all attack that border with all your might! All mystic art users start using their strongest attacks, let's help my spear to crush this monster once and for all!" I shouted at my below players, asking them to aid my spear in killing this monster. if my spear alone wasn't enough, then other attacks might help, even if this help was so little in comparison to my spear, however even the tiniest snow would form a great avalanche!

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

Suddenly this cheer came from down below, driving goosebumps even in myself! My players, my dear players were cheering out my own motto, out loud, in pride, without any fear!

How could we possibly lose such a fight? Hell no we would lose this!

Attacks started raining down the border by the mystic art players at first. They were like me, able to attack from far, and their attacks really helped in killing more hands, supporting my spear in its fight!

As for regular players, they had to move closer first, wasting hours in approaching the border, before they started showering the border with their skills!

During these hours, I kept my hunger value balanced, especially when my consumption was automatically restored, strangely, by the influx of such unknown energy, out of nowhere!

The only explanation I had was that my spear was, in some way, doing this, and this had something to do with such a monster. it seemed this foggy strange creepy monster was formed out of pure energy, even killing its hands was enough to make my energy replenished!

And I hoped my players would also gain such a favor as well.

The fight kept going on for days, as my players didn't stop showering the border with these huge numerous creepy mouths there with their skills, while my spear kept butting its tip over the border unceasingly, depleting more of my pearls.

During these days, I received many questions, and gave no answer, as I personally didn't know a thing about what was going on currently here.

As for that monster, during the past couple of days, all it did was to show up more hands from layer fifteen to stand in front of my players and my spear attacks.

Each time it tried to go by my spear, aiming for my players, my spear diverted part of its lightning to shower these escaping hands.

No possible way for that monster to gain any more energy! I emptied layer fifteen already, and what was left was the previous layers, would it be insane enough to go back to these?

I suddenly felt strange about such a monster, how and from where it befell upon us? Was it another wolves attack? I didn't know why but I honestly didn't think this monster belonged to them, as if it was, then why didn't they unleash it upon us when I annihilated them?

It didn't make any sense!

With time, the number, thickness, and durability of these arms started to show weaknesses, as the monster was getting weaker it seemed. I knew it wouldn't take long before we completely killed it!

However, something kept bothering me, but I didn't know what it was!

By the end of the fourth day, and at dawn of the next day, my spear finally managed to break through that monster's defenses, smashing all the remaining hands, and finally entering the fifteen layer again, while inserting itself into the body of that monster.

I hurriedly checked my hunger value, while the sounds of mighty explosions occurred at this moment. strangely, my spear consumed a huge deal of my energy, however it also replenished it at a higher rate!

For hours, my spear kept unleashing all the energy he stored all this time without stopping, and I never used a single pearl ever since entering the fifteenth layer.

"Boom!"

A single mighty, and blindly flashing light was born, covering the entirety of layer fifteen. I knew my spear had done it, and it was time to call it back!

A snap of my fingers after quite enough time to make sure that monster was barbecued there. my spear was about to go to layer fourteen when I brought it back, shaking in hand like it was expressing its utmost anger.

"I can feel your anger, and it's good, but keep it for the big guys like this one, don't bully weak little demons at previous layers."

I patted on it, and it calmed down after hearing my words, before finally putting it back into my inventory. This was a really dangerous time, and after these days, my players had already regained their former strengths and vitality; bits of good news indeed.

I was mentally exhausted, and my players were the same. As for my demon, he laid his huge body finally on the side of the balloon, feeling too much stressed and burnt out.

"No time to rest buddie, let's have a little chit chat inside," I said before taking him back into my prison, closed my eyes, and I followed him inside.

If there is an explanation to all this, then my demon would definitely have it!

The moment I entered there, I found my demon lying on the ground panting, with a pale expression over his face, while the demoness was lying there motionless dead!

"What the hell?!!!" I shouted the moment I entered here in distress, while my demon said in a hoarse tone:

"She isn't yet dead, but about to."

"Hurry, give her these pearls!" I hurriedly threw many pearls that was enough to fill a room! My demon shook his head, didn't move to any of them, as he said:

"Don't bother, she already is beyond the point of these weak pearls to help her."

"What?!!" I exclaimed out in shock, "how can we save her?" I hurriedly urged him.

After all, she was one of my trump cards, an unused trump card!

"She needs a great source of energy, to hurriedly replenish her own," my demon said, "this damned monster sucker her almost dry!"

I glanced at him and recalled that monster, my spear, and the crazy energy I was absorbing. "Sigh, that monster is now dead, let's hope we meet another one like it soon," I didn't imagine myself saying such words or praying to meet that monster again. "How much long does she have?" I asked.

"Around one to two weeks, no more," he said after moving to examine here.

"Keep feeding her these pearls, and I will make sure to bring more," I said.

"It's useless."

"Useless to make her awake, but it might help to elongate that short period for much longer!"

The distance to cross any layer needs one week from now on, and even crossing this layer would take five to six days at least. I needed more time to save her, or I wouldn't be able to.

I glanced at her in a pained look, as I never expected that monster's sucking ability to be so mighty to even suck hers inside my witch's artifact!

"What was that monster? what just happened?"

"It's that cursed monster in layer fifteen, the one sealed under the fifteenth fort. It must have gotten freed after damaging everything there, and it attacked us when you went to sleep."

The words of my monster shocked me, as I thought I already killed every single living thing inside layer fifteen and sixteen. When I thought again about his words, I realized another thing; that monster feared me, and that was obviously due to my ability to barbecue it!
