Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 448 - Fierce Battle
Sparda quietly announced Mundus’s true demon name as the demon sword in his hand kept slashing, shooting powerful sword beams at the Mundus statue from afar.
From the beginning, the sword beams could only leave small cracks on the statue, but later on, every one of them could tear off pieces of the statue. All of this increased with every syllable that Sparda gradually recited.
In comparison, Dante and Vergil often had to slash at the same place several times to damage the statue.
Mundus naturally knew what Sparda was doing. To him, Sparda was the greatest threat, so he focused his attacks on Sparda. The statue roared, and the wings on his back suddenly spread open. Hundreds of red light thorns flew out and stabbed at Sparda.
Sparda swung his demon sword and blocked most of the light thorns, but a few light thorns still pierced into his body. After these light thorns stabbed into Sparda, they did not disappear but remained in his body, bringing him immense pain.
However, Sparda gritted his teeth and did not interrupt his rhythm as he repeatedly chanted the true name of Mundus’s soul.
Along with the chanting, Mundus felt his soul trembling and fluctuating constantly. It was the power of the spirit of language touching his source. The trembling of his soul not only affected his magic power but also made his body and soul unable to coordinate, and his movements began to slow down.

Although he had experienced a similar situation two thousand years ago, after encountering Sparda again, he still felt restrained by Sparda.
“Sparda!!” Mundus roared as he released red light spikes all over the sky once again. “You must die!!”
To demons, if an enemy knew their true name, even if it was only a portion of it, then this enemy was an opponent that they had to kill as soon as possible. No demon dared to let an enemy who knew their true name live… This was also the real reason why Mundus was unwilling to let off Sparda. Compared to this matter, the so-called crime of betrayal was secondary.
In the chaotic battle, not only Sparda but even Dante and Vergil found it difficult to avoid these dense light thorns completely. These light thorns intertwined, pierced into their bodies, and continuously released scorching energy that brought unbearable pain. Even though the three of them were in demon form, this pain was still unavoidable.
Of course, for a demigod demon lord, physical injuries were very difficult to be fatal to them. With their powerful recovery ability, such attacks could not kill the three of them.
In comparison, Nero, who had been sticking to the statue, was spared. Although he was not injured by the light thorns, he was still having a hard time. The Mundus statue kept flying in the air, causing Nero to swing around and become dizzy. He gritted his teeth and persisted in climbing up the statue.
His goal was the head of the statue.
According to common sense, the hole in the heart of the Mundus statue should be where his weakness was because Nero saw a ball of magic power shining in the hole while it was in its battle stance. He reckoned that it should be where the driving core of the statue was. But Mundus did not forget to protect this place during the battle. His giant arms hugged together from time to time to cover his chest tightly, so Nero thought that it would not be easy to attack this place.
On the other hand, the three eyes on the statue’s face were shining with dazzling light.
Of course, this statue could not be Mundus’s main body. Mundus’s main body was either hiding inside the statue or remotely controlling the statue to fight. In that case, he should be using these three eyes to perceive the situation outside. As long as he could think of a way to get rid of these three eyes, Mundus would immediately become blind.
Fortunately, with the entanglement of Sparda, Dante, Vergil, Mundus did not notice Nero, the little bug climbing on him, allowing Nero to approach bit by bit…
The Mundus statue spread his wings again, and countless fine lightning bolts filled the sky. This move was like a spiritual storm, and the enveloped Sparda, Dante, and Vergil could not help but scream in pain. Especially Dante, he was struck by a bolt of lightning directly on his head, and the lightning charred his entire body black as he fell from the sky like a meteor.
Before he crashed, a figure flew over and caught Dante. It was Sareth in his demon form. He spread his flame wings and caught Dante in the air, but the immense kinetic force smashed him toward the ground. Fortunately, the moment he was about to slam down, he finally stopped, landed on his feet firmly, and put Dante down.
“Th-thanks, brat!” The demon form Dante panted heavily and smiled sinisterly at Sareth.
His demon appearance looked ferocious, so once he smiled, he had a sinister smile, and it was impossible to tell that he was grateful. Sareth curled his lips in disdain and took out his gun, Calamity. He placed it in Dante’s hand and said, “Your gun shoots fast enough, but its power is too weak. Try mine!”
“Okay!” Dante did not stand on ceremony. He took Calamity and soared into the sky with a boom, flying toward the Mundus statue again.
When he flew in front of the statue, Mundus waved his hand and released demon runes in the sky again. His actions inevitably caused a gap in his chest, so Dante grabbed the chance to inject a large amount of magic power into Calamity, raise his hand, and fire!
Dante’s magic power was much stronger than Sareth’s. After this shot, a fireball the size of a washbasin flew out, drilled through the gap between the statue’s arms, and then exploded in the hole in his heart!
With a loud bang, Dante’s shot seemed to have the power of a ship cannon. The colossal Mundus statue suddenly stopped, and a gigantic flame exploded in his chest.
This attack also immediately interrupted the demon runes he released. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sparda rushed in front of the statue. With a roar, the demon sword cut off one of the statue’s arms.
At the same time, because the statue stopped moving in the air, Nero seized the opportunity to run quickly onto his shoulder. When he arrived at the head, he suddenly jumped up, held Red Queen in both hands, and stabbed at the eye on the statue’s forehead!
It was really ruthless. Most of Red Queen pierced into the eye on his forehead. With a buzz, the lightning in the eye immediately swelled and scattered. Nero was already very experienced with this, so he quickly let go and backflipped.
While falling, Nero waved his hand, and flames erupted from the muzzle of Blue Rose. Two bullets shot out, one on the left and one on the right, attacking the remaining two eyes of the statue.
When Nero saw the flash of lightning that erupted when the bullets hit, he smiled and raised his middle finger at the statue with his left hand. “This isn’t the first time I’ve done something like this to a big guy like you!”
What Nero was talking about was naturally when he dealt with the Order of the Sword. Back then, the Order of the Sword had also created an enormous statue, but that statue was made in the form of Sparda, and the pope of the Order of the Sword also controlled the statue in this way. In the end, Nero and Dante defeated it. Therefore, Nero was already very experienced in dealing with such enormous statues…
Sparda and Nero had both achieved battle results, so of course, it was impossible for Dante and Vergil to watch. Their target was the two giant wings on the back of the statue. But what was surprising was that these wings were even harder than the statue itself. Dante and Vergil each slashed at the roots of the wings dozens of times, but they failed to cut off the wings and only left two deep scars.
At this moment, the Mundus statue had already recovered. His entire body suddenly shot higher into the sky, directly shaking off Dante and Vergil. After reaching a higher altitude, Mundus roared angrily.
One arm was severed, and the three eyes had lost their function. Mundus’s control of the statue had undoubtedly dropped drastically, and he could not even see where Sparda was.
However, this did not prevent him from retaliating!
The mouth of the statue opened, and a grayish-white ball of light condensed in his mouth. The next second, a thick beam of light shot out and hit the ground.
At first glance, this beam of light looked a little like Roy’s Glimmering Dawn, but it was different. When Sparda saw this beam appear, his expression changed, and he shouted, “Get out of the way! Don’t touch this light!”
After Dante and Vergil heard the warning, they immediately dodged the beam attack, but the beam hit the ground directly.
With a humming sound, anything that the beam touched on the ground completely vaporized the moment they were hit. A huge pit with a diameter of more than three hundred meters instantly appeared on the ground, and the edge of the pit was full of crystallized solids.
But this was not the end. The Mundus status in the sky began to twist his head, and as his head moved, the beam of light moved as well. In whatever direction the head turned in, the beam would sweep through the entire area.
No one dared to touch this dangerous attack, and the Mundus statue vaguely sensed the approximate location of the four Sparda family members. He kept turning around and sweeping the beam at them. The range of the beam was quite large, and it forced Sparda and the others to flee in panic.
As Roy watched this scene in the sky, he was slightly surprised because he could feel that Mundus’s move… How should he put it? It seemed to be a move after fusing with holy light power!
That was because other types of elemental power could not have this effect.
Is this fellow also some kind of… lucky guy? While Roy was thinking this, he suddenly found that Mundus’s attack had stopped. He looked again and found that Sparda had appeared behind the statue. Sparda swung his demon sword from behind and cut off the statue’s head!
The gigantic stone head rolled down from the sky, and the terrifying beam of light from his mouth gradually dissipated until it completely disappeared.
After completing this attack, Sparda slowly fell from the sky. It seemed as though the red light spikes on his body that made him look like a hedgehog had already overwhelmed him…
Seeing Dante and Vergil rush forward and catch Sparda in the air, Roy smiled. The three pairs of demon wings on his back spread open, and he slowly floated up from Rafaro’s back.
“It’s finally our turn…” Roy smiled at Junia.
