Chapter 588: Justice And Judgment
When Kizaru was complaining.
At the upper level of the magic mine, the support he had been waiting for was being blocked here.
Holy Knight Earth Rhythm Posadong and Bee Lord Sakamori stood solemnly, facing the two demons before them.
There were also two other figures beside them.
Both wore golden armor: one was a blond young man, the other a brown-haired middle-aged man.
These two had also been sent as reinforcements from powerful forces.
They were from Tarot Totem belonging to the Dark Curtain.
Their code names were Justice and Judgment.
There was no doubt about their strength.
According to the Hunter Association's evaluation, they were a two-star gem-level hunter and a three-star gem-level hunter.
To be fair, the lineup of these four was already incredibly luxurious.
However, the two demons opposite them were far from ordinary opponents.
---
"I didn't expect that aside from Blue Demon King Gusen and Sand Demon King Desert, you demons would also send you two," Sakamori said.
"War Lord War King, and Life Reaper Yonglu."
The War King, wearing heavy black armor, heard the Bee Master speak and burst into laughter.
"There's no helping it. You humans are so cunning. Your intel from the desert never mentioned Stands," he said.
"The same goes for Marine Admiral Kizaru."
"Even the two Nights still in Sand City were hidden."
"You humans are quite good at your little tricks."
After saying this, the War King seemed relieved.
Because the two Nights hadn't come down.
In the Realm of Chaos, there were Seven Nights and Twelve Stars, and they wielded the Power of Eternal Night.
That power belonged entirely to the terrifying beast that blots out the sky over Yongye Island.
Fighting such people was extremely troublesome.
The Stars were less concerning.
But If he accidentally killed one of the Nights, he might draw the Beast's attention.
The beast was directly subordinate to the Goddess of Chaos.
Its strength was terrifying and had already stepped into the realm of gods.
It was a creature capable of plunging the world into eternal night.
Even the apostles couldn't withstand it.
Even the battle-crazed War King didn't want to be noticed by such a monster.
---
"We're just preventing accidents. You demons are always ready to act first," Sakamori said.
"It's best if you Demon Kings retreat now. We don't want the situation to become unbalanced."
A dull laugh came from under the War King's airtight helmet.
"Hahaha, how funny," he said.
"Isn't this magic mine filled with the power of the Demon God?"
"If anyone should retreat, it's you humans."
"But it doesn't matter. If we keep talking, Yonglu won't be able to hold back," he added.
"Just let your strength speak."
---
Phew!
As soon as the War King finished speaking, Yonglu swung his massive bloody scythe and shot forward, laughing wildly.
"Hahaha! It should've been like this a long time ago. Why waste time talking!?"
A bloody red streak flashed across the passage.
Judgment, who had been vigilant from the start, reacted immediately, or rather, his Stand Dongding did.
A golden-armored Stand wielding a giant sword rushed forward.
Clang!
A deafening roar shook the surrounding strata.
Judgment's Stand locked swords with Yonglu's scythe, but its steady retreat showed it was being overpowered.
"Hahaha! Is this the best you can do?" Yonglu laughed and said, "This isn't even enough to warm me up!"
He swung his scythe repeatedly, striking with relentless force while taunting loudly.
Judgment, standing behind his Stand, looked grim.
The Nine Demon Kings' strength had increased yet again, their terrifying magic erupting without pause.
Combined with the domain techniques the demons of Demon Island excelled at,
their power was likely approaching demigod level.
In this situation, even the two of them fighting together could not ensure victory.
Judgment thought for only a moment and ordered his Stand to unleash its strongest anti-demon technique.
"Judgment of Sin."
The Stand's giant sword caught Yonglu's scythe again, and its eyes flashed gold.
Yonglu suddenly felt himself locked down by a mysterious force.
A massive golden halo appeared above him, and a huge golden sword dropped from the sky like a divine weapon meant to purge all evil.
"Die!" Judgment shouted.
This move damage increases according to opponent's sin. Against evil enemies, it granted Judgment overwhelming attack power.
"Hahaha! Interesting!" Yonglu roared.
He didn't care about the locked target at all. Instead, he looked excited.
His bloody scythe knocked away the Stand's giant sword. He swung out countless massive slashes and soared upward.
Clang, clang, clang!
The raging wind was filled with sharp, crisp impacts, like nonstop blacksmithing.
Then, In the middle of the intense upward slashes, the massive golden sword shattered with the sound of breaking glass.
Golden particles scattered in the violent wind.
The exchanges were incredibly fast.
The blond young man, Justice, saw Judgment's Stand collapse and immediately moved to support him.
A Stand holding a white lance appeared, glowing brilliantly.
It charged forward silently.
Golden patterns wrapped around the thick lance shone brightly.
"...Charge of Justice," he declared.
"Hahaha! Good! Come and make me happy!" Yonglu shouted.
Yonglu didn't care about the new Stand, he just wanted entertainment.
Rumble!
A shockwave blasted across the mine, sending black sand and stones flying.
The ground exploded on a massive scale.
The two Stands and Yonglu turned into streaks of light, rampaging through the 20–30 meter-wide passage.
---
"In that case, I'll let you Holy Knights fight with me," the War King said.
While Yonglu battled the Stands, the War King ignored Justice and Judgment, instead focusing on Earth Rhythm Posadong and Bee Master Sakamori.
He had always been curious about Holy Knight power.
Holy Power and Demon Magic were fundamentally incompatible, something both sides' leadership had long understood.
There should be no issues with the battle below, so he might as well study this one.
Posadong laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! This scene makes my blood boil, Lord War King!"
"Then let's have a bloody battle!"
Without caring about Sakamori's expression, Posadong, hands on his waist, rushed forward with a hearty grin.
"Super Gravity Punch!"
Infinite gravity twisted the air around his fist.
Rumble!
A massive sonic boom erupted, followed by a rising mushroom cloud.
