Wena and Zara coordinated the dragons in the sky to fight against the winged-demons. They were in a huge advantage as the demons were not ready to fight against the superior firepower of the dragons.


    Everything was going well for Aldred''s army.


    "How?" Grax asked from 2 kilometers away. "How did you have this powerful army?"


    "Isn''t it obvious?" Aldred replied.


    "What do you mean?"


    "I am far more handsome than you."


    Grax grunted. "Your army might be better, but I have the numbers. GRAAA!"


    His roar shook the earth, andva burst out of abyss of which the demons crawled out. And then, more demons crawled out. This time, they looked far stronger and bigger than before, and their numbers far surpassed the first one that came.


    Grax grinned and thenughed.


    "More than 980,000 demons, huh? Not bad," Aldred replied. "But now it''s my turn to call for reinforcements."


    Aldred opened a bunch of portals and golems endlessly stepped out. He had ordered Tarrar to stop selling golems because he feared this situation might happen.


    Now, he had more than 1,000,000 golems ready for battle.


    "How is this possible? Who are you?" Grax said.


    "I am not done yet." Aldred raised his Phantom Doomde. It''s golden and vicious aura was reced by the aura of death. And then, the aura sted all over the battlefield, washing over all the corpses.


    Suddenly, the corpses moved and they stood up, reanimated as undead.


    Because his sword could turn corpses into undead, he did not need to use his own skills to do that. And unlike his own ability, the sword did not have limit to how many undead it could have.


    But there was one disadvantage.


    The undead could not level up, and he could not add them to his party system either.


    Aldredughed. "With over 1 million golems, and 300,000 undead I got from your own demon army, I now have over 1,300,000 subordinates."


    "My army is powerful, but better yet, my army has more soldiers than yours."


    Grax trembled in anger. He roared and flew towards Aldred with his 8 meter tall de.


    Aldredughed. "I have been waiting for this to happen. Let the lords fight against lords, king against king!"


    His Phantom Doomde reignited with zing me  of three different color: gold, red, and dark. Its powerful aura affected his mind and heart and he became even more crazed for battle.


    They shed against one another and the impact made a powerful explosion.


    "Demonic Edge!" Grax roared and swung his de. A devil aura shot out in an arc


    "Sword Art Copy: Demonic Edge!" Aldred roared back and copied the exact ability.


    This was his ability [Sword Art Copy] that he obtained long ago, but never been used.


    "Devil Strike!" the demon roared.


    "Sword Art Copy: Devil Strike!" Aldred shouted back.


    Whatever sword skill Grax executed, Aldred would do the same thing. This infuriated the Grax to no end.


    They fought for hours and Grax realized that his sword was far inferior. Soon after, it was cut in half, and the Phantom Doomde managed to wound his right shoulder.


    The blood sttered on Aldred''s face while he was grinning, making Grax thought that this man was the demon instead of him.


    Aldred took in a deep breath as his power increased. Whenever his enemies blood sttered over him, his stats would increase. And this effect was stackable which mean more blood equal more stats.


    Not only that. Aldred licked the demon''s blood on his cheek and a powerful aura washed over him.


    This was [Blood Lock]. Whenever he consume the blood of his target, his damage to that particr target would increase.


    The more he consumed the blood, the higher the damage. Aldred flicked his hand, and all the blood on his cheek condensed into an orb and went into his mouth.


    His eyes flickered with a cold red light when he stared at Grax. And the demon felt chill when he saw that.


    ''What is this feeling? I am a demon. How can I feel… fear?''


    The realization that this human made Grax made him felt fear made his heart came aze with rage. He was a lord. He ruled an entire kingdom in the underworld. How could a mere human dare to shame him!


    Raising his sword high to the sky, Grax bit his own tongue of which the blood shot to the sky. "I am your lord! Appear by mymand!"


    Dark cloud surged above. Spinning like a vortex as lightning shed here and there. He then pointed at Aldred.


    "Dark Lightning!"


    A dark lightning silently, quickly, much faster than the speed of sound struck Aldred directly.


    Only after that happened was it followed by a loud sound of explosion.


    The lightning was so powerful that it blinded everyone that caught the sight of its light. Only after a few seconds did they manage to regain their vision.


    That was when they saw Aldred falling from the sky, unconscious.


    Everyone was shocked to see this. Especially his wives and friends. Baendjbi would never imagine someone in Gold Rank managed to defeat Aldred.


    Mary was in disbelief. "No. No way. Aldred cannot lose. He never has."


    Ste frowned in confusion while Sophia stared at the demon with trembling rage.


    The onlookers on the other mountains gasped in shock. They had seen how the man fought the demons and had the advantage all these time. They also could not imagine he would be defeated since he was the one who created the super fortress.


    "Should have known. Nothing is impossible," Strannon said. "Even a strong man like him would be defeated."


    Graxughed maniacally. "Your strongest man is dead. Now time for you all  to die!"


    "Is that so?"


    "Huh?"


    Grax looked to the side and saw Aldred floating in the sky without any wound.


    His wives and everyone else sighed in relief.


    "Big brother Aldred really loves to y pranks," Kristamented.


    "You! How can you still be alive?!" Grax shouted.


    "Bro. You took 5 seconds to cast your lightning spell. You think I will just sit there and let you strike me?"


    "Then who is that?" Grax looked down and saw Aldred''s ''corpse'' turned into blood mist.


    "Hehe. That''s just my clone."


    "A clone?" Grax could not believe it. His eyes could identify that the clone was very powerful and even matched the real Aldred not just in ranks but in aura, durability, and mental power. A clone usually cannot match the original strength of its caster!


    "Yes, that''s my clone. Which is now behind you."


    Grax was about to turn around, but before he could do so, Phantom Doomde already prated his chest from the back.


    "This isn''t enough to kill me!" Grax shouted.


    Suddenly, another clone appeared and stabbed him.


    "I can… still fight."


    Another clone appeared and struck his chest.


    "Im…po..ssible. Your clones… all of them… have your… strength."


    "That is correct." Aldred approached slowly.


    "You cannot kill me. I am subordinates of one of the strongest entity in hell."


    "My father owns hell."


    Jleb!


    Aldred stabbed Grax''s neck. Soon after, the demon died with unwillingness in his eyes.


    [You have killed Grax]


    [You have obtained a skill book ''Gate of Hell'']
