?Her mental transmission killed every mid-rank demon in the vicinity. The high-rank demons frowned while the weak ones almost cked out.


    Aeternus was unbothered by the shout.


    He shouted back. "Can you keep it down? I have guests over and you''re ruining the atmosphere."


    "I am the demon lord," Beelta screamed as if to announce herself or assert her dominance.


    "So what? Just because you''re the demon lord does not mean you can do whatever you want."


    "You can''t take my position from me. I will forever remain the demon lord."


    "Will you stop screaming? If you''re so sure of yourself then there''s no need to worry." He asked calmly as he started to make more giant white balls of chaos.


    She wasn''t willing to listen to reason. Her fury rose to the sky as she roared, "You have crossed the line. You have gone too far."


    Still, Aeternus remained unconcerned. "What are you going to do about it? Certainlying here to shout and rant won''t help. This is unbing of someone of your stature. You''re just embarrassing yourself."


    She had gone mad so she didn''t listen to him. She kept shouting threats at him while he continued to make snidements.


    "Beelta, this is so unlike you. I would like to listen to what''s got you down but I am busy here trying to establish a coup."


    He took control of the momentum of the surroundings and locked her out when she wouldn''t quiet down.


    The arena resumed its silence and vigil. Their eyes and attention were focused on the evolution going on within the arena. The evolution took more than 10 hours before it waspleted. Then a giant ming hand broke the cocoon. A giant ming bull''s headplete with a single giant horn came after.


    A burning minotaur came out of the cocoon in its full glory. It stood up to reach 10 meters tall. There were fourrge wings on its back and three ming tails. The skin and the body of the demon seemed to be made from red-hot volcanic rocks. Lava was dripping to the ground from the cracks in the skin.


    There were seams in the skin from which the burning and churning inside of the demon could be seen. There is a number in his left eye that showed the number 1 in the demon tongue. It identified him as the second member of the house of Khaos. Theva inside the body of the burning demon was dripping through its skin like sweat.


    The temperature of the arena spiked immediately after the demon released its aura that swept over the surroundings. There was also a spiritual influence apart from the physical difort of the aura. The aura was whispering ideas of anger in the minds of everyone. It was trying to make them angry and lose theirposure. But how could they do that when they are practically frozen in their seats unable to move a single muscle?


    The giant ming minotaur, the embodiment of an active volcano ready to erupt knelt and bowed his head in Aeternus''s direction.


    "INFERNOX greets the Lord of the house of Khaos. Your every wish is mymand, my lord." Its voice rumbled like thunder and this time, almost all the high-rank demons cked out.


    Even the geniuses were pushed to the very edge of consciousness. The weaker ones would have lost consciousness but the ravings of madness in their ears made it impossible to do so. So they fell into insanity instead. Their subconscious had to do something to protect their minds.


    cking out is a defense mechanism to protect the mind, if they can''t do that, then they might as well take the suggestions of anger and wrath in their heads. Still, no one did anything because they couldn''t move a single muscle.


    The demon lord''s shout killed mid-rank demos and stressed high-rank demons but the effect is limited to that because of the distance between them. Her shout wouldn''t have affected mid-rank demons if they are in their region instead of the region of high-rank demons.


    INFERNOX might not be as powerful as the demon lord but is very close to these high-rank demons. They are nothing but prey to him and their subconscious knows that.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
