"Bone Eruption." The ground split open, shooting jagged spikes that threatened to impale Kent. However, he swiped his claws and shattered them before stomping hard on the ground.

The ground shook violently, causing Maldrak, the Bone Sovereign, to stumble back. Kent moved toward him, trying to take a chunk of his throat with his claw; however, Hell King Bliz arrived before he could have the chance.

Kent was forced to abandon his attack.

However, before he could defend against the sword attack coming from Hell King Bliz, a powerful vibration came from the side, causing him to lose control of his body for a moment...

This allowed Hell King Bliz to land a clean cut on his arm, sending him slamming back. However, the wounds healed in the next second, though the pain couldn't be healed.

Kent turned to see who attacked him with the vibration pulse...He is blinded, but he can see.

'Eryth the Mute Seer.'

Kent's eyes revealed what he needed to know to place this hell demon on top of his kill list.

He was a pale, eyeless demon with a stitched mouth. He can't speak; for all he had to say comes from his staff...

It was a black staff topped with a glass orb that absorbed light and sound. The orb constantly spun, emitting waves that erased spiritual vibrations.

Kent knew attacks that messed with the mind were something he should be wary of. However, he also knew this was what made the thing even more fun...

'He dies first, then the bone-looking man goes next.'

Kent jumped back and then ducked, evading another attack from Hell King Bliz.

Then he smirked and vanished, appearing behind the Mute Seer. However, before he could land an attack, a music note reached his ear, causing him to freeze...

'Damn...'

Kent said to himself, and then his head came off clean. Hell King Bliz chopped his head off, but he didn't seem that happy.

The next second, he appeared behind Lilithara, the Siren of Despair, and landed a powerful kick on her butt, sending her flying across the battleground.

'So far, I have identified two people who pose a threat to me. This cannot happen if I want to be an absolute being, someone who doesn't fear anything or anyone.'

Kent sidestepped another attack from Hell King Bliz, whose anger seemed to start to overflow.

'I need to train my mind. It is my only weakness now.'

The vibration struck his mind, and now the musical notes seem to do so too. This made it clear to him that he was still lacking in another department...

His soul is fortified thanks to Elsa, but now he needs to fortify his mind...

"Forgemaster's Wrath." Ignor the Forge Tyrant unleashed a powerful attack by condensing thousands of weapons, causing them to fly toward Kent.

'40,000 flame veins.'

Kent's speed surged when he activated the flame veins.

like walking through a field of flowers, he started breezing through the flying weapons.

While Kent was handling the thousands of weapons, Volkris the Thunderer, a blue-skinned demon with horns shaped like lightning forks, was forming a spear made of lightning as he eyed Kent.

The Mute Seer had also started directing 'Null Pulses' at Kent, who was using his flame essence to protect his body and soul essence to protect his mind.

However, when Lilithara's music entered his ears again, his mind started to falter.

'She really is someone not to be underestimated. However, she is also helping me train my mind, so how about I keep her around for a bit?'

Kent jumped high into the air and unleashed four claw arcs at the weapons flying toward him. Then he landed, striking with his right leg.

"Heavenbreaker Javelin." Suddenly, Volkris threw a lightning spear at Kent, who grabbed it with his sword and was about to throw it at him when he sensed a smoke-like figure materialize behind him.

CRACK

Kent clenched the spear, causing it to shatter. This created a lightning bubble that blasted Morvath the Dream Eater away.

"Clone Bodies." Ten clone bodies appeared and spread out on the battlefield.

"SWAP."

He swapped with a clone body 30 meters away. Then he jumped into the air, causing the ground to explode.

"Claw Arc."

He unleashed red claw arcs, causing the expression on Morvath the Dream Eater's face to change.

He was someone who, if he got close and touched you, then that would be the end for you. His abilities allowed him to enter your mind and place a nightmare in there.

Kent wouldn't be able to evade that. His mind may be strong, but not as strong as his body. So from the start of the battle, he had been eyeing that bastard, waiting for him to attack.

He was at the back, waiting for a chance to strike, not knowing Kent was also waiting for him to get close.

And now that he was midair, there was nowhere to run. So the terrifying claw arcs slammed into his body, sending him crashing to the ground.

Unluckily for him, he landed beside a clone body that Hell King Bliz hadn't killed yet.

"SWAP."

Kent swapped with that clone body and then, with one quick grab, his claws sank into Morvath the Dream Eater's throat.

He yanked it out, dragging out his throat, causing the poor hell demon who thought he could sneak up on someone who had a Soup Map for an eye to choke on his own blood. He died a second later when Kent decided to end his suffering.

He may have been the strongest among the city lords, the ruler of the City of Nightmares. However, when it came to Kent, he was inadequate.

"DIE."

Kent swapped with his last clone bodies, which were much closer to Syrak the Crimson Tyrant. The hell demon was also standing back like Morvath the Dream Eater did.

However, instead of planning to sneak up on him, he was powering an attack that Kent sensed some form of danger from.

It was blood-related, and since he was the third strongest city lord, the ruler of the City of Blood, Kent chose to target him next. Something told him to kill the bastard fast before it was too late.

'50,000 flame veins.' Kent moved and appeared before him...

"BOOM." Kent mouthed the sound before activating 3000 blood runes, and then, with a quick punch, Syrak's head was blasted off its body.

The other hell demons became even more aggressive now that two of them had died. However, no matter what they did or the terrifying powers they used, Kent remained unfazed, his speed and strength overpowering them.

"Damn... I make this look dope."

Kent bent his body backward, evading a powerful swing from Hell King Bliz. Using his left leg, he kicked a spear flying at him, then, using the momentum, he somersaulted, landing gently on the ground.

Then he moved at a speed so great that the hell demons only saw a blur.

Volkris the Thunderer lost his head, making him the third to die.

When he fell, there was a pause, allowing the hell demons to finally take in the danger they had stepped into.

"KILL HIM!"

Hell King Bliz seemed to be in denial. However, he soon realized he was being toyed with by Kent.

"Gentlemen, it seems I have become overly strong for my own good. So why don't we end this?"

The next second, Kent fired up all flame veins, 20% bloodline, 5000 blood runes, and his killing intent.

In an instant, the entire arena became quiet...
