Boom!!!
The forging hammer slammed solidly into the molten keratin layer, and amidst the ear-piercing explosion, black light burst forth!
Kanos's massive body was sent flying several meters by the powerful and darkly corrosive blow, and rings of charred cracks, resembling melting asphalt, appeared on the armor on his sides.
It furiously twisted its ram head, its one eye fixed on Enzo, and activated Abyssal Gaze!
A dark purple beam of light, distorting space, shot out!
Enzo was prepared. He blocked with his hammer, runes flashing, and a thick shield of dark lava was instantly generated.
Sizzle—!
The Abyss Gaze beam collided violently with the lava shield, magic surged, and a sickening corrosive sound was heard.
Enzo grunted, his feet sinking deep into the scorched earth. His shield fluctuated violently, but he managed to withstand this divine attack that was enough to kill an ordinary high-level professional!
Even though Kanos is a lower-ranking demon god, its divine attacks are negligible in the face of the hammer bestowed upon it by the god of darkness.
Enzo, who has one foot in the legendary realm, can already wield the power of the runeforged hammer to resist legendary-level divinity!
"Its weak point has been revealed! It's gathering magic power in the center of its neck!" Monica's voice rang out again.
Mark moved!
The cross necklace burst forth with an unprecedentedly profound light, and the seven-colored black light wrapped around his arms as if it were alive.
He didn't use any fancy skills; he simply concentrated all the power within him that he craved to devour, along with the authority of the cross necklace, into his right hand, transforming it into a cross-shaped fist!
He stepped on ripples of seven-colored black light, and taking advantage of the moment when Canos was distracted by Enzo and its old power had just been exhausted and new power had not yet been generated, he rushed to the bottom of its huge head at the speed of light.
Kanos's neck hair, which radiated a scorching and evil aura like a waterfall of lava, was within arm's reach.
Given Kanos's defenses, Mark would have had a hard time harming it even if he used the cross necklace as a weapon.
But don't forget that Enzo's Runehammer has the property of softening and corroding the object it attacks!
As long as Mark can break through the defenses, their team's ambush plan will be foolproof!
"ruling!"
Mark's right hand, filled with the most primal greed for divinity, slammed into the weak point Monica pointed out!
The seven-colored black light traveled along Mark's arm, through his fist, and into Kanos's neck.
The mark of blasphemy is revealed.
He slapped a healing scroll in his left hand!
Then came the day of Kanos's death!
"Meow—!!!"
Kanos let out a scream filled with horror and extreme pain!
Its single eye widened to its limit in an instant. As it felt its body being healed by the holy light, it became increasingly injured in its eye and wanted to kick Mark away immediately to escape temporarily.
But when it was being eroded by the blasphemous mark, even though the abyss vortex in its eyes spun wildly, it could not escape the deep-seated sucking power coming from Mark's hand!
It sensed that its core divinity, its vast abyssal magic, and even a portion of its primordial life force, which it relied on for existence, were being frantically plundered by that pitch-black hand!
The seven-colored black light spread along Mark's arm like greedy roots, instantly enveloping Kanos's neck and rapidly spreading throughout his body along the wounds caused by the healing of the holy light!
The demon's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The burning molten armor lost its luster, becoming covered in dead ash like cooled volcanic rock.
The whole process may seem long, but it actually only takes a breath.
When Mark abruptly pulled his hand away, Canos's massive, mountain-like body had completely lost all its divine radiance.
It transformed into a giant "sheep" carcass, only a little over a person tall and covered in a layer of grayish-brown keratin, which crashed to the ground, stirring up clouds of scorched dust.
Mark stood there, slightly out of breath.
The cross necklace brought him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and a pure, massive energy feedback, repairing some of the internal organs that had been injured by the demon god's pressure and the abyss's magic when he forcibly charged forward. Furthermore, a scorching torrent of divine energy surged and settled within his body.
His eyes flickered with a strange light. He clenched his fist tightly to suppress the satiated feeling after devouring the prey and the deeper desire that followed.
The battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
The crimson eyes that had been peering into the distant demonic mist were now filled with astonishment and unbelievable fear.
A low-level demon god was devoured in such a short time?!
Are those people on the other side human or demons dressed in human skin?
"Done!" Enzo put away his forging hammer, looked at the huge corpse on the ground, and grinned. "This big guy looks intimidating, but in a fight he's not much stronger than that wild god in Graystone Town! He's just tougher, not even as tough as a hair on Alfonso's head. And this is considered a low-level demon god?"
Anna sheathed her Shadow Bow, walked to the corpse, and calmly assessed the situation:
"Its attack pattern is too simplistic, it relies too much on its innate divine power and armor, and its tactical awareness is weak. Moreover, the skill it wanted to unleash was interrupted by Brother Mark, which was indeed easier than expected..."
Monica walked over to Mark, looked at Kanos's corpse, and a hint of relief appeared in her eyes.
At least this lower-level demon god in front of me doesn't seem too unpleasant.
Then she handed over the materials that she had carefully prepared for Mark in advance.
The powdered Abyssal Flame Pepper, the purified Styx Crystal Salt, and the essence of Frost-Eroded Moss that exudes a chilling aura.
"The materials are ready. So, Mark, are you sure you really want to do it the way we said before?"
Mark took the powder and crystals that emitted strange energy fluctuations, a smile curving his lips.
He glanced at Kanos's enormous corpse, then looked up at the massive, indistinct shadows deep within the demonic mist. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced the silent demonic realm:
"Of course! It's rare to find such fine ingredients. Even the legendary chefs on the Holy Dragon Continent haven't cooked for a lower-level demon god. Today's special is braised mutton!"
Under the watchful eyes of countless people filled with shock, anger, and a hint of incredulous greed, Mark began his cooking.
His palm was covered in seven-colored black light, easily cutting through Kanos's fragile shell that had lost its divine blessing.
Peel off the thick, molten keratin layer to reveal the relatively tender demonic muscles inside, with dark red veins still remaining between the lines.
"Tsk, this sheep is quite fat, it even has snowflake patterns!"
Mark sniffed. He could still smell a muttony odor when Canos appeared, but he didn't expect that the muttony odor would disappear after it died.
However, seeing the remaining abyssal magic still emanating from the dark red veins, Mark felt a sudden unease in his heart.
Is the advancement hint given to him by the Soul Harmonizer class really reliable?
He only dared to devour Kanos because of the cross necklace and the magic of the seven-colored black light, but to cook it and swallow it whole...
Never mind all that, anyway, the Soul Harmonizer profession was given to him by a mysterious being, and that mysterious being wouldn't let anything happen to him!
