The Devil's Cage Chapter 1498 – The High Demon’s Rest

Chapter 1498: The High Demon’s Rest

The voice stopped very abruptly.

Even the depressed and grudgeful aura was forced to still, as if time itself had stopped.

All that was left were the roars of the devil and the groans of the cardinal sins.

Kieran grabbed the captive’s head and pulled him up to his eye level.

There weren’t any words, his cold eyes said it all.

Without further hesitation, the aura disappeared faster than it appeared.

As the aura faded away, the captive in Kieran’s hand started to melt into a pile of liquid.

The Devil Flame burned brightly on his left hand as he looked at the liquid on the floor.

Tsss!

The pile of liquid was vaporized.

Kieran then turned around and continued to watch Bloody Mary, as if nothing had happened.

But… could he do it? It was the target that he had been waiting for so long, how could he do nothing at all?

…

Meanwhile, in a hidden place in a certain corner of the big city, rune after rune was branded on the ground.

Rune pillar after rune pillar, requiring two men to carry them, were shining in the dark, ominous light.

A statue was placed in the middle of the formation and a man in priest robes was praying there.

Suddenly, the statue shook.

“Your Majesty, what happened?” the man in the robe asked out of panic, while on his knees.

“Leave! Leave at once! Bring me to the Sanctuary!” a hurried voice came from the statue.

The man on his knees got up, grabbed the statue and ran outside, but when the man ran past the rune pillars and went outside, a windy breeze came.

Fuuua!

The breeze blew the priest’s hair and his sleeves.

The priest’s head then fell on the ground, his blood soaking his robe bright red.

The statue that the priest carried flew up into the air as the body fell, but the statue didn’t touch the ground, caught by a hand.

The moment the hand touched the statue, black smoke came out from the statue with sparks of black electric current rumbling around.

Tss!

The hand quickly withered off, no longer able to hold the statue firmly and it fell to the ground.

Wung!

After getting away from that hand, the black sparks gathered into a ball and formed something like a black hole to suck the statue in. The statue quickly vanished.

The owner of the hand laughed coldly. He then dragged his withered hand away from the place.

Guuu!

20 seconds after the owner of the withered hand left, hunger sounded, followed by a series of saliva gulping.

“Hungry, hungry,” Gluttony said in a muffled voice.

“Learn to control yourself! This will help you in your growth,” explained Sloth.

After that, he brought Gluttony back to that secret place where the statue was once placed.

Sloth didn’t say anything and Gluttony jumped up.

All the runes on the floor were gone after a lick from the sin.

The rune pillars were crunched into two after some loud clattering. Gluttony didn’t waste anything, stuffed everything into his mouth and muching happily, as though he was eating a delicious bone.

Sloth stood beside him, deep in his thoughts.

When the last pillar was eaten, Sloth and Gluttony vanished on the spot.

…

“Expected discovery!”

Kieran listened to what Sloth said and squinted his eyes. He knew there was someone behind Aligino but didn’t expect more than one party to have their eyes on him.

Kieran turned to Gluttony and Sloth.

“Got the taste?” Gluttony nodded, the little snack he had making him happy.

“Do you remember everything the man showed?” Kieran asked Sloth.

“Of course,” Sloth smiled.

“Very well. Let us wait and see what these people want.”

Kieran then turned to the High Demon.

The little competition of tearing each other apart between Bloody Mary and the [Voodoo Pillar] had entered its final stage.

Bloody Mary was heavily injured and the [Voodoo Pillar] was seriously damaged.

The difference was Bloody Mary’s aura got stronger while [Voodoo Pillar] was failing, like a candle in the wind.

All the eerie ghost faces on the pillar were eaten.

Bang!

Bloody Mary then stabbed its hand deep into the [Voodoo Pillar], its sharp hand going deeper and deeper into the pillar.

[Voodoo Pillar] seemed to sense that its time had come to an end, the seriously damaged pillar starting to crumble and eventually burst into ruble.

Kabam!

The hard sturdy surface shattered and formed an energy stream in the room. While the ruble was flying around, a black light tried to slip into the void.

However, the moment the black light touched the void, it trembled.

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

Bloody Mary had transformed into its illusory form the moment the pillar burst and now it showed itself before the black light. It widened its mouth, revealing the sharp fangs and sucked the black light in.

Every single bit of the black light was sucked into Bloody Mary’s stomach.

After the little scene, Bloody Mary looked at Kieran.

“Boss, I need some rest,” it said.

“How long?” Kieran asked.

“A week.” it said. It tried to make itself sound normal by emptying its mind and it thought it was workable.

After all, It had just been through a life and death battle.

“Too long. You can only rest this long.”

Kieran raised his right index finger.

‘He noticed it?’

Bloody Mary sighed and came back from his pitiful look.

Oh well, a day it is better than nothing.

“Fine, a day will be enough also,” Bloody Mary submitted to the suggestion.

“Who said a day?” Kieran raised a brow.

“What? Then how long?” Bloody Mary felt anxious.

“A minute, and 20 seconds have passed, you have 40 seconds… 39 seconds left.” Kieran said seriously.

A minute? A FREAKING MINUTE?!

Bloody Mary widened its eyes, wanting to say something but when it caught Kieran’s gaze, it gave up and fell on the ground.

A minute it was! At least it was its own time!

It could still lie down, despite having no pillow or mattress. That was good enough, wasn’t it?

While Bloody Mary was resting, Kieran opened up the High Demon’s tab filled with new attributes.

Kieran curled his lips into a smile when he saw the words before his eyes.
