Silently, the red light enveloped Smulder within.
It was as if Smulder had stepped into a trap.
"This is …"
"Using the Sanctuary Force as a trigger?"
Kieran was the first to notice the anomaly as he was punching and kicking the cyclops giant.
In fact, when Smulder charged towards him, Kieran had been preparing himself.
After all, based on their relationship, Kieran was more hostile towards Smulder.
However, Kieran didn't expect such a scene to unfold.
"A modified monster that is specifically designed to target Smulder?"
Kieran muttered in his heart.
Kieran's mind was already picturing the scene where Smulder was caught off guard and fell into the trap, getting hit by the cyclops giant.
Maybe it wasn't nimble enough.
However, Kieran wouldn't deny the cyclops giant's strength since he was in close combat with it.
Even in his [Transform Devil 2] form, he didn't have the upper hand in terms of strength.
If [Transform Devil 2] wasn't an area of effect enhancement, Kieran might still be at a disadvantage.
But now?
It was as simple and easy as water flowing into a canal.
BANG!
After dodging the mutated cyclops giant's palm strike, Kieran ignored the strong wind that came with it and landed a kick on the giant's elbow. The blazing flames started to spread out from the point of impact, spreading out in all directions.
When Kieran extended his wings and soared up in the air, he launched another swift kick.
Following the countless kicks' afterimages, more blazing flames gushed out and engulfed the cyclops giant's elbow completely.
A burning smell filled the air.
[High Devil Body 2]!
The flames were triggered by the devil's bloodline.
Following the leveling up of [Transform Devil], the flames couldn't be neglected anymore.
The same went for the other transformations.
When Kieran chose [Transform Devil 2], his strength had increased by several folds.
[All Attributes + 4]
[Acquired Devil Lord Constitution 2, (High Devil Armor 2, Defense is automatically above Powerful, 20% reduction in energy damage), High Devil Body 2, Strength + 2, Every attack has a Powerful level of burn, has a chance to generate fire splash in a 3-meter radius, the splash fire is Strong level, when attacked, the attacker will suffer Extreme level of burn repulsion, Secondary Elemental Damage Resist + 2, HP + 1500, Stamina + 1500]
[Acquired Flame Blast 2 (By flapping your flaming wings, form a 130 °, 40-meter blast in front of you, Extreme fire, Extreme blast, 3 times per transformation]
[Acquired 2 Beheader Flaming Sword (Summon a greatsword made of flames, Powerful Fire Rank, Extreme Sharpness, 2 minute duration, 1 time per transformation)]
[Acquired Blasphemous Whisper 2 (You can summon the slain creatures to fight for you again, 2-minute duration, once per transformation)]
[Acquired Sulphuric Blaze 2 (Any creature burned by your flames will have to undergo a -2 Constitution authentication, if failed, the creature will suffer an extra 300 Poison Damage per second, 6-second duration)]
[Acquired Light of Fear 2 (Any living being that stares into your eyes will have to undergo a B + rank Spirit authentication, otherwise they will be inflicted with Fear debuff!]
[Devil Libra (The density of your bloodline has awakened a part of the Devil Lord's talents, you can stack any attribute on top of other attributes in a 2: 1 ratio (The stacked attribute cannot be lower than D rank, the stacked attribute cannot exceed Spirit + 3 limit), 2 minute duration, once per transformation)]
...
The changes were clearly displayed on Kieran's vision in the form of numbers.
All Attributes + 4 and all his skills were boosted up, plus the appearance of [Devil Libra], it boosted Kieran's confidence.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the decision to attack directly.
Aside from the others.
Kieran's current 2400 HP, as long as he didn't encounter a destructive attack, he would be able to rely on [Soul Devour 2 Mardos Arm] and [Soul Devour 2] to ensure that Kieran wouldn't be afraid of any frontal battles.
The only unfortunate thing was when he chose [Transform Devil 2] and [Summon Beast 2], the effects of [Saint Thorns] would temporarily vanish.
Otherwise, Kieran had the confidence to elevate his strength to the next level.
Though, it was enough to deal with the mutated cyclops titan before him.
It was true that the mutated cyclops titan was powerful.
However, the way it targeted Smulder provided Kieran with an unexpected opportunity.
After all, the mutated cyclops titan's power was a counter to Sanctuary Force.
While Kieran's was …
Devil Force!
Fuuu!
A single breath later, Kieran's magma body burned fiercely again, the blazing wings on his back were even more dazzling.
A beheader greatsword with the same dazzling flames appeared in Devil Kieran's hand.
It seemed like the cyclops titan sensed danger.
From Kieran's point of view, the clumsy and stupid mutated cyclops titan didn't instinctively use its other hand to extinguish the burning arm, instead, it tried to grab Kieran.
At the same time, a dense red glare shone from the cyclops titan's eye, blocking Kieran's path of retreat in a seemingly offensive yet not offensive manner.
It was a rare coordination.
Kieran wasn't sure if the mutated cyclops titan before him had a sudden flash of inspiration or was it because it had gone through such training before.
It was completely different from its previous messy behavior.
Though, it was useless against Kieran.
Even more so …
It provided Kieran with another boost.
Kieran didn't even bother to conceal his dodging path.
When he dodged the gigantic palm, the red glare followed him like a shadow. However, right at that moment, Kieran's already fast speed increased again.
[Devil Balance]!
Intuition was converted into Agility.
In an instant, Kieran's Agility that was boosted to SS + 5 was boosted again.
Instantly, Kieran's Agility was boosted to SSS-! Although SS + Spirit allowed Kieran to crush most people, the power of Spirit was abstract and couldn't be described with words.
But Agility was different!
It could show it!
Even though it was two ranks lower than SSS + Spirit.
It allowed Kieran to easily dodge the red glare.
Everything was as Kieran had predicted. The red glare hit Smulder.
Smulder, who had half of his body out, was enveloped by the red glare once again.
Smulder was nowhere to be seen.
Meanwhile, Kieran launched a lethal attack at the mutated cyclops titan before him.
Kieran's unparalleled speed caused fiery figures to appear one after another on the surface of the sea.
When the fiery figures increased in number and merged into one, a whirlwind formed by flames enveloped the mutated cyclops titan from top to bottom.
Then …
KABOOM!
A loud explosion sounded.
The fiery figures that filled the sky vanished.
Together with the fiery figure, the gigantic cyclops titan, disappeared as well.
A dash of golden radiance was extremely eye-catching on the broken deck.
Kieran grabbed it with his hand.
Following the death of the mutated cyclops titan, Smulder finally broke free from the red glare.
However, the Holy Knight before him looked a little ragged.
The armor formed by the Sanctuary Force was dim and gloomy.
There were a couple of small cuts on his face and blood was oozing out from them.
Smulder didn't even wipe the blood off his face. He glared at Kieran who was flying in mid-air with his wings extended. His eyes were filled with unconcealable rage.
The dim 'Templar Energy' shone brightly once more.
The meaning behind it was self-explanatory.
Fight!
Smulder wanted to fight Kieran!
Kieran replied with a calm gaze when he felt Smulder's battle intent.
If it was any other time, even with [Transform Devil 2], [Summon Beast 2] and [Saint Thorns], Kieran wouldn't have the confidence to defeat Smulder.
Smulder and Ohara's Sanctuary Force were two different concepts.
But!
At that very moment, Kieran had absolute confidence that he could make Smulder suffer. (To be continued)
