It was very easy to incite them when they are afraid of the weird demon and when the argument to attack is based on sound logic. If all of them cannot kill one mid-rank demon, then they do not have any future anymore in the domain of high-rank demons.
The weird demon's intuition became muddled up because of the two pronged attacks and the numerous other ones at the border that she wouldn't be using. In a sense, he was surrounded by danger. So he walked right into her ambush. He had no choice in the matter, it was the only possible outcome. One way or the other she would have gotten him.
Each ambush team had lifted boulders up into the sky and used a rare treasure to freeze them there. The rocks were to create a heavy attack that is purely physical and will force him to use one of his trump cards. It has been shown that if the attack is physical, he can't copy it or resist it if it is strong. His inability to fly means he won't be able to escape the attack.
No magical attacks were used during the entire ambush. Even the ranged attack was made with bows and arrows fashioned from the thorns of a porcupine demon of weakness. Something like that will enhance a weakness or create a new one, no matter how small.
She had noticed that he didn't allow the scorpion demon of weakness to sting him. That's why she aimed to create a weakness in his strained soul. She doesn't know what will happen if that occurs but it is certain to weaken him.
Everything worked perfectly. The weird demon is weak physically so he couldn't put down the demon of wrath who has been buffed up to resist damage. That allowed the others to snipe at him easily. Everything would have worked in her favor as long as he walked into the ambush and since he had to walk into her ambush, it became a must that everything will work in her favour. She had everything planned out.
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) The demons she sent committed suicide when he had used the last of his trump card. As if on cue, the group of high-rank demons also arrived. She had teams standing by. They were there to join in the ambush if something unexpected happens but now they can represent her will as the demon lord and rescue him. All he had to do is sign a contract of agreement and they would swoop in to save him. Then everything went wrong.
It happened so fast. One moment the demon lord was taunting that weird demon with access to chaos energy. Everything was in her grasp. She had pushed him to his doom and was about to reap her rewards but something appeared and ripped a piece of her consciousness away. Then it was gone.
"What went wrong?" She asked herself even has her mind felt like splitting in two.
The pain in her consciousness couldn't douse her curiosity about what went wrong, so the gigantic ball within the energy well of the plane used the pillar as an antenna of sorts to transmit her divine sense to a faraway location that her divine sense wouldn't be able to reach normally. Her divine sense appeared where the ambush had taken place and where 300 high-rank demons used to be.
What happened here?"
She asked one of her subordinates that had been watching the ambush.
Her gaze was fixed on the smooth crater about 500 meters in diameter cut into the ground and the weird demon at the bottom of it that was oozing out thick chaos energy. The 300 high-rank demons are nowhere to be found. She wants to know what happened here.
The porcupine demon of weakness that she asked stepped forward and answered.
"We don't know, your lordship. An anomaly that resisted all perception appeared. The only thing we could see of it was pure blackness. As if light could not even reflect from it. The anomaly seemed to have killed all the high-rank demons or it may have taken them somewhere unknown. It isn't definite yet, but it is most likely for the first option to be possible because reports of their deaths through their contracts are coming in."
The porcupine demon didn't participate in the ambush because the demon lord suspected that the weird demon will be extra careful of the arrows if he was around. So it is part of the team that was to step in if needed. They had seen what occurred clearly but they didn't know exactly what happened.
Beelta was shocked. All those high-rank demons died here? If they had been teleported out of here, she would have been notified of it as the demon lord of the plane. Unless someone much more powerful than her clouded her senses. If that is true then she is in big trouble.
But then again, why would such an entity interfere? Do they know the weird demon or were they helping him? If they aren't his allies, why didn't they take him and use him? If they are, why didn't they take him away? She had no answers to the questions plaguing her but she could tell that he is still there at the bottom of the crater.
Send someone to investigate the bottom of the crater and find out immediately if those demons died or not." She ordered.
The loss of so many high-rank demons didn't faze her. They aren't all her subordinates. Only two of them were her subordinates. Those two are the ones she used to nudge the high-rank demons into coming together to kill the weird demon.
The porcupine demon nodded and instructed one of his teammates to go and investigate. It is practically a death sentence. If that weird demon is the one responsible for the anomaly then whoever they send might die or be sent somewhere unreachable. But they can't say no to the demon lord. It is not because of the demon lord's power but because of a contract of eternal servitude that they were forced to sign.
