Carnage waved a hand, and a guard came to let Karl out of his cell, shocking all the other inmates.
Not only was he being let out of his cell, he had jumped the whole line by what they assumed was committing suicide. Probably not permanently, but Carnage was definitely going to kill him at least once or twice.
They did have a healer on duty in case someone thought that they could get out of their sentence by committing suicide.
When the demons said you had ten thousand years to serve, they meant all ten thousand, not just until you died.
That would be too easy on the prisoners.
"Follow me. Once we’re outside the prison, there is a training area that we can use. How large is your preferred combat form?" Carnage asked.
"Against you? I will go for something similar sized. The oversized body of a World Dragon will just be a hindrance, and you likely fly as fast or faster than I do, so the wings won’t be a major advantage.
So, I will just enlarge this form so that I’m not punching below the waist." Karl explained.
Carnage nodded. That was a reasonable enough sort of skill for most types of Demons to have. So, he didn’t ask any questions about what sort of skill it was, or if it gave any benefits.
In fact, he was making a point of not asking, so that most of what Karl would do should be new to him.
He liked surprises.
By the time that the got to the training grounds, not only the off-duty guards, but hundreds of Demons who were working in nearby facilities had gathered to see the spectacle of someone who thought that they could go two minutes with Carnage.
If they were smart, two items and one minute was a much better deal, assuming they had interpreted his offer correctly.
None of them expected Karl to live more than five seconds anyhow, and that meant everything he had on him would be lost unless he had a sentence waiting for him.
In that case, someone would resurrect him.
"If you have buffs, now is the time to cast them." Carnage declared as the two faced off across the sand of the training grounds.
Karl nodded, then began to stack buffs on himself, finishing with [Behemoth] to set his size to roughly match the Legendary Demon.
Carnage laughed with joy as he saw that the cat demon form of the Avatar of the World Dragon was something roughly appearing to be a match for him. They were multiple ranks apart, but at least this creature had the decency to make an attempt.
Then, Karl smiled at him, and cast [Epic Golems], summoning a pair of Oathbreaker Demons, fully buffed by his skills and enlarged with [Behemoth] to more closely match the nearly five metre tall Wrath Demon.
"You brought me... Oathbreaker?" Carnage asked, confused.
"Summoned duplicates of him." Karl agreed.
Carnage gave him a vicious smile. "Perhaps you will live for two minutes after all."
Karl nodded and then the Oathbreakers vanished, appearing on either side of Carnage as a massive axe appeared in the Demon’s hands. The blade spun at an impossible speed, parrying attacks from all eight blades that the pair could wield.
