Debuff Master - Chapter 1120

Chapter 1120

The wings on Siegfried’s back split into two distinct colors—black and white.

At the same time, he grew two horns on his forehead, and a radiant halo appeared behind him. These were the symbols representing the Demon King and the Chief Archangel.

And then his eyes turned heterochromatic; the left eye turned golden while the right eye took on a crimson hue. This was the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion, a body that no one except the Creator had ever achieved.

It was not perfect like the Creator, but even so, it was more than enough.

‘I’m strong. I can feel it. I’m really strong right now,’ Siegfried thought, looking at his newly transformed appearance.

His stats had skyrocketed by a thousand percent, and the explosive power surging throughout him made it crystal clear just how much stronger he had become.

[Alert: 59 minutes 59 seconds remaining until the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion ends!]

[Alert: 59 minutes 58 seconds!]

[Alert: 59 minutes 57 seconds!]

He could only maintain this form for an hour, but it was more than enough to settle the score with Lucifer.

Slowly, Siegfried turned his head and looked in the direction where Lucifer was standing.

“Arghh!”

“Ghhhk!”

Belial and Metatron, who had been blocking Lucifer, were sent flying into the distance.

Fortunately, neither of them was killed.

Panicking, Lucifer flung them aside rather than finishing them off before rushing toward Siegfried.

Siegfried looked at Lucifer and did not flinch.

Why? Because he had certainty that he could win against him.

Having achieved the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion, it would make no sense if he ended up losing to Lucifer.

‘I can feel it. I’m going to crush him easily,’ Siegfried thought.

All doubts were erased from his mind, and only a single thought took their place—revenge.

He had taken blow after blow without being able to damage Lucifer even a little bit due to their overwhelming difference in stats. It had been humiliating, infuriating, and downright annoying.

But now, after achieving the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion, it was time to pay him back in full.

Lucifer was without a doubt a terrifying opponent, but he was nothing like the one being who had ingrained the very meaning of despair and fear into Siegfried—Deus.

Now that Siegfried had his stats explosively increased after achieving the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion, he was more than confident he could win.

Thus, Siegfried began walking toward Lucifer.

“Y-You…! What are you?! How can a vermin like you achieve that?!” Lucifer exclaimed, utterly shaken.

He had been born in the dawn of creation, a direct descendant of the Creator Himself.

In his eyes, Siegfried had achieved something utterly incomprehensible. Even he, the child of the Creator, didn’t even dream of achieving the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion.

And yet this vermin, who did not even belong to this world, had somehow achieved it.

It was utterly shocking.

“A vermin like me?” Siegfried muttered. Then, he smirked and said, “To me, you’re the vermin.”

“…What?!”

“It’s time,” Siegfried said as he teleported and appeared right in front of Lucifer’s face.

“What time? What are you talking about?”

“It’s time for you to get your ass handed to you.”

Boom!

The +16 Vanquisher’s Grasp came crashing down on the top of Lucifer’s head.

“Ghhhhrk!”

Blood gushed from Lucifer’s mouth—a clean hit.

After hitting him countless times without even leaving a scratch, Siegfried had finally drawn blood from Lucifer

***

‘I can deal damage to him now,’ Siegfried grinned upon seeing how Lucifer’s HP bar had shrunk upon taking that hit just now

Since that was the case, then…

‘It’s time to beat this guy to a pulp.’

His eyes gleamed with malicious intent. Then, without pausing even for a second, he relentlessly slammed his +16 Vanquisher’s Grasp on Lucifer.

“Ghhhrk! Aaagh!”

Even though Lucifer was the Chief Archangel, he could only groan in agony and attempt to defend himself. He tried to strike back against Siegfried, but it was futile.

Having achieved the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion, Siegfried’s stats now vastly overpowered Lucifer’s stats, so counterattacking was now almost impossible for the latter.

Fwoosh!

Siegfried cast Karma Flare, engulfing Lucifer’s entire body with the flames.

The result?

Lucifer’s Defense and Magic Resistance were shredded to pieces.

‘Let’s throw in some slows, too.’

Siegfried cast Embrace of Despair, burdening Lucifer with a debilitating, slow debuff.

“K-Krrhhhk!”

Lucifer writhed in agony after being riddled with debuffs. The authority and fearsome presence he commanded only moments ago had disappeared without a trace now that Siegfried was completely overpowering him.

“T-This makes no sense! How can a vermin like you—!”

“Shut up.”

Lucifer tried to widen the distance between them, but Siegfried raised his hand toward him.

Rumble!

Then, a powerful pulling force dragged Lucifer back toward Siegfried, as if an invisible giant vacuum had sucked the Chief Archangel to Siegfried’s hand.

Shockingly, this was no special skill, as Siegfried used nothing but pure telekinesis to yank Lucifer into his hand.

Kwachik!

Siegfried wrapped his hand around Lucifer’s throat.

“You gotta be ready to get hit too if you throw the first punch, right? It’s that simple,” Siegfried said with a grin.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A chain of brutal explosions erupted from Siegfried’s hand.

He unleashed Crushing Tremor with his bare hand.

“Aaaaargh!” Lucifer let out a blood-curdling scream.

An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth.

It was time for Siegfried to avenge himself for the suffering he had to go through at Lucifer’s hands, and of course, this was just the beginning. He tossed his +16 Vanquisher’s Grasp aside and clenched both fists. He had no intention of using a weapon anymore, as he wanted to beat Lucifer to a pulp with his bare knuckles.

“Time for an ass-whooping,” Siegfried said before raining down his fists on Lucifer like a rapid-fire machine gun.

“Ghhk! Aargh! Gaaaah! Ack!”

The mighty Chief Archangel of the Celestial Realm, Lucifer, was now being pummeled, crushed, and humiliated by Siegfried’s fists.

As shocking as this sight was, it wasn’t supposed to be this easy for Siegfried to beat up Lucifer, even after achieving the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion. Then, how was he overpowering him so one-sidedly? The debuffs made all the difference.

Karma Flare shredded Lucifer’s defenses while Embrace of Despair slowed him down to a crawl.

Thanks to the debuffs, Siegfried was able to easily beat him senseless.

“Arghh!”

“You just love blaming everyone else except for yourself, do you?”

Whoosh!

Lucifer shot into the sky, and he fled without looking back.

He realized it just then. He couldn’t beat Siegfried, not after the human achieved the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion.

“Haa…”

Siegfried let out a long sigh as he watched Lucifer flee like a coward.

The Chief Archangel, who once struck terror into everyone, now looked pathetic as he ran away without even looking back.

‘Yeah, this is what true power is,’ Siegfried thought.

He finally understood what wielding true power meant. This might could destroy even the Chief Archangel, a supreme being who once threatened the very existence of the three realms.

He had yet to shatter Lucifer’s mind, but he utterly destroyed that arrogant god-complex of his.

“Running away?”

A wicked smirk curled on Siegfried’s lips.

Lucifer was nothing but a joke now.

For Siegfried, who achieved the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion, Lucifer was now dancing on his palms.

***

‘There’s no way that’s permanent. That Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion must be only temporary. All I have to do is wait, and once his temporary transformation ends… It will be my turn. I will repay him tenfold for this humiliation he dared to inflict on me…!’

Lucifer’s judgement was sharp. After noticing that Siegfried’s Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion was only temporary, he decided to make a tactical retreat.

Unfortunately, that was merely wishful thinking.

“…!”

Just then, Lucifer’s heart nearly stopped after seeing Siegfried in his path.

“Where do you think you’re going? Are you in a hurry?” Siegfried sneered, smirking haughtily.

“…!”

“How about we have a little chat—”

Boom!

Lucifer did not let him finish and bolted in the opposite direction.

He was fast. He flew across the horizon at breakneck speed, covering tens of kilometers in a single second.

However, Siegfried was faster.

“You seem to be in a hurry. Where are you going?”

Once again, Siegfried appeared before Lucifer and blocked his path.

There was no need for Siegfried to chase him down. No matter how far or how fast Lucifer flew, it did not matter to him. He simply had to think of where he wanted to go, and he would be teleported there instantly without moving a muscle.

“I’ll have no choice if you keep running like this, you know?”

As soon as he uttered those words, a massive black hole twisted the space in the sky and swallowed both of them. Siegfried had dragged Lucifer into the domain ruled by the Lord of Despair—the World of Despair.

“T-This place is…!”

Lucifer was stunned to find himself trapped in another dimension. He was the Chief Archangel, so the idea that he could be forcefully dragged into another dimension had never occurred to him.

“Welcome to hell, you son of a bitch,” Siegfried spat out, his words laced with malice.

And as if on cue, the dimension around them turned into hell itself.

Fwoosh! Krwaaaang!

Infernal Hellscape set ablaze to the surroundings, and it was immediately followed by Frozen Hell. Two of Siegfried’s most powerful area of effect skills were activated simultaneously within the World of Despair.

This domain was now filled with both flames that could incinerate one’s soul and chilling cold that could freeze time itself.

“G-Ghhhrk! Aaaargh!” Lucifer screamed in agony, tormented by the extreme temperatures.

Right now, in this dimension, his grandeur and majesty as the Chief Archangel were almost nonexistent. This was a dimension ruled by the Lord of Despair.

Siegfried was now both the Lord of Despair and the first being to successfully achieve the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion since the dawn of creation, so he was the absolute master of this dimension.

In this place, Siegfried’s will was the law.

Wooong!

A powerful surge of energy was unleashed from Siegfried before gathering together and wrapping itself around Siegfried’s fist.

It was the ultimate offensive skill of the Lord of Despair, Touch of Death.

“N-No! Stop!” Lucifer cried out, his eyes wide in terror.

He knew exactly what was coming next.

After all, he had done the exact same thing right before Siegfried had achieved the Divine Demonic Vessel Fusion. He drove his fist straight through Siegfried’s chest and almost crushed his heart with his hand.

Thud, thud, thud…

Siegfried walked toward him, and the sheer pressure he emitted made Lucifer’s legs tremble like twigs.

“N-No…! T-That…!”

For the first time in his entire existence, Lucifer felt crippling fear grip him. Born as the second-in-command in the Celestial Realm, he never knew what it meant to be afraid.

He had always reigned over others except for the Chief Archangel at that time, his brother, Michael, and the Creator Himself. But now, this unfamiliar emotion had completely gripped his mind, causing him to panic for the first time in his life.

“D-Damn it!” Lucifer cursed and turned to flee. His instincts screamed at him to run away, but there was no escaping from the World of Despair.

“…!”

The more attempts he made at running, the smaller the space around him became. There was no escaping from Siegfried’s domain, and there was only one way out of this place.

To die and leave as a corpse—that was his only option.

Siegfried appeared right in front of Lucifer and said, “You see, I’m the kind of guy who has to return everything I was given or else I’ll lose sleep at night.”

“Wha—”

“It’s time for me to pay you back.”

Puuuuk!

Siegfried’s fist, charged with Touch of Death, pierced Lucifer’s chest.

He returned the exact same blow he had received from Lucifer.

“G-GUUURRK!”

Lucifer screamed, and his eyes bulged like they were about to burst from their sockets.

Shwooong… KAAABOOOM!

The charged-up energy of Touch of Death exploded from within Lucifer’s chest. It was a power so absolute that it could disintegrate one’s soul into particles, leaving no trace of it.

This was the authority of destruction that Deus had passed down onto Siegfried, and he used it to crush the heart and soul of the Chief Archangel, Lucifer.
