Seal of Light - Enlightened novel Chapter 12

Returning to the place where the central black pillar was located.

“So you think you can easily kill a demon with your puny little power. A novice like you stands no chance against me.”

“The snake demon who took Ethan’s body awhile ago, “ Mat said while still lying on the ground and being held by this demon Orochi.

Summer peaked again, she knew Mat’s worn out body stands no chance against his opponent. Then she felt something different. Her knees shaken as she stood. She suddenly felt weakened and dropped on the ground, she tried to resist the feeling but it was too strong. She was already lying on the ground as she watches Mat prepare for the opponent’s next attack.

“What is happening? I felt as if all my energy dropped down to zero in an instant.” Summer thought.

Mat was waiting for the demon’s next move but his opponent seems to be discomforted by this strong gravitational pull. Orochi fell on his knee as he tried to fight back against this force that is pulling him down. Mat, on the same hand, felt it too.

“What is this very strong unseen force that even this demon is affected with?”

A loud crumbling voice was heard that appeared to be coming from the central black pillar.

“Orochi, restore and proceed to the plan on the next plane!”

“I understand my lord, it shall be done.” Orochi said while slowly fading away like a black smoke in front of Mat. “Lucky you Mat Adam.”

Almost three seconds passed and nothing happened. Neither a movement nor a sound was heard.

The ground started to shake, gradually increasing the intensity as the Demon lord Casus’Lucem started to climb out slowly from the huge black central pillar.

Mat and Summer wasn’t able to do anything but to look at each other and fight back against this pulling force that was keeping them down on the ground.

A large arm made of compressed black smoke came out of the large pillar and slammed its palm on the ground. The whole arm was as long as an average human adult.

The ground rumbled some more as molten lava burst up from the crevasses nearby.

Mat tried to crawl to Summer’s direction.

Casus’Lucem finally reached and pulled himself out of the black hole that was covered by this black beaming pillar.

The Demon lord stands twice the size of an ordinary human. His body was fully built and well-tightened, he has four horns and his eyes were glowing red. His skin was red and black and it was being radiated with black shadows all over. His teeth were as sharp as those of a lion, and a pair of wings that expanded more than four meters to be exact, wings similar to that of a bat.

Casus’Lucem stretched his body from its years of prison and let out a loud yell.

It was like seeing an embodiment of evil. It brought terror all throughout the area.

Casus’Lucem stretched his left arm with his palm facing Mat. A massive ball of dark energy started to build up like a sucking vortex throughout the entire place. Casus was about to release it and send it to Mat when a quick slash hits him on his left hand.

“What? The last Carrier of the Seal lives.”

The distraction somehow interrupted the strong gravitation pull and allowed Mat to rush to Summer and then quick leaped away with her to a safer distance.

“Wait, Mat, I think someone’s still inside that small pillar.”

“Yes, I know, but we have to wait for a right timing. I wonder who made that attack on that demon?”
