Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Fully armed with the Demon King's weaponry, Tartaglia let out a deep laugh from beneath his mask, then gripped the massive thunder spear in his hand and twirled it.

A terrifying burst of thunder and lightning erupted, and the next moment, Datalia, with a smile on his face, slowly extended three fingers, which instantly transformed into words filled with icy killing intent.

"Thirty seconds to finish you off."

"Insanity!"

Although initially shocked by Datalia's immense power, after calming down, the "Apostle of the Abyss" still spoke coldly with a hint of displeasure at being looked down upon by Datalia.

However, before he could utter another word, Tartaglia's figure vanished from the spot and transformed into a terrifying bolt of lightning filled with the monstrous elemental power of boiling fish, rushing towards the "Abyss Apostle".

With unimaginable, terrifying heat, D'Artagnan left pitch-black marks wherever he went.

The terrifyingly high temperature, which even scorched the air, almost completely ignited at this moment, filling the air with the smell of burning.

That wasn't the result of the abyss's power eroding him, but rather the marks left by the intense heat from the terrifying lightning. Accompanied by the unimaginable heat and light tearing through the darkness and rushing straight towards him, the figure filled him with immense horror as he watched this scene.

"How could it be so fast!?"

Chapter 158 The Unexpected Troublemaker and the Abyss Order's 'Prince' (5k)

The deafening roar pierced through one corner of the temple to the other, sending the "Abyss Apostle" flying from one corner to the other.

The terrifying violence and extreme tyranny were firmly grasped in the hands of that armored and armed figure, whose frightening posture seemed to be declaring his authority to everything in the world.

There are no tricks involved, for Tartaglia, who has already donned the Demon King's armor.

He has mastered the most powerful force, a force that is absolutely incomparable even to the gods, an ultimate tyranny that holds the power of life and death over everything below the gods.

At this moment, that figure was as dazzling as the only one in the world.

This demonstrates the extreme power he possesses. Such terrifying strength and speed were beyond what the "Abyss Apostle" had anticipated. In his view, even though Tartaglia possessed dark power, he was not without the ability to fight back.

But now, D'Artagnan has used the power he possesses to tell him something: his claim of finishing him off within thirty seconds is not an empty boast, but rather a genuine intention.

The power that Datalia displayed at that moment undoubtedly told him that he did indeed have the ability to do so.

That dark and profound power was completely different from the "decay" he knew. If the "Apostle of the Abyss" represented a deeper level of "Abyss" power, then...

The darkness and depth that D'Artagnan presented before him was an even deeper 'abyss' than his own, how could he, as the 'Apostle of the Abyss', not be horrified by this?

The fact that something dangerous other than the 'Order' was closer to the 'Abyss' than they were was an absolutely incomprehensible and unimaginable shock to him as the 'Apostle of the Abyss'.

"How absurd that it is an 'abyss' far deeper than our own!"

Even though he, as an "Apostle of the Abyss," was incredibly shocked and incredulous, such a thing had happened right before his eyes, and the darkness represented by what he saw was even deeper than theirs.

Faced with the terrifying force that could easily devour him, he realized that if he didn't show some real skill, he would truly be defeated.

So, in that critical moment, he immediately sprang the blade from his arms to block the attack from Datalia. Faced with the terrifying power displayed by Datalia, he might not be able to defeat him.

As an undead monster from the 'Abyss', he has lived for countless years, and his combat experience and skills are incredibly rich.

Even setting aside his immense power, before falling into the 'Abyss' and transforming into a monster, he was a formidable martial artist with strength unmatched by ordinary people.

However, even with his strong combat awareness, he reacted immediately and successfully blocked the attack at the last moment. The black lightning spear collided with the sharp blade that popped out from the "Abyss Apostle's" arm, unleashing a terrifying aura and surging air currents.

Although it was extremely difficult, at this moment the "Apostle of the Abyss" did manage to use his martial arts to withstand the force of Tartaglia's attack, which was almost the full strength he would normally exert.

However, there are some things that even those with unimaginable martial arts skills cannot withstand.

That is, the difference in strength is absolutely enormous.

"Heh, that's interesting, but still too weak!"

Tartaglia sneered in his deep, muffled voice, which was tinged with the thunder element.

The next second, he watched as the powerful force erupted from the blades that had sprung from his arms.

This allowed the "Abyss Apostle" to suddenly discover a surge of boiling elemental power flowing into the lightning spear, and to sense the incredibly violent elemental power, filled with a deadly poison that he could not comprehend, as it entered.

As if some strange chemical reaction had occurred, the "Apostle of the Abyss" realized something.

"Varied……!"

Before he could finish speaking, the water and mine elemental forces, a mixture of 'abyss' and 'imaginary energy', within the boiling and scorching air intertwined and produced a terrifying and violent reaction.

The terrifying power erupted almost instantly, shattering the claws that sprang from the arms of the "Abyss Apostle" with such immense and terrifying elemental force.

As the twin blades that were intertwined with his arm were shattered, a fist pierced through the boiling elemental mist.

Immediately, with a terrifying force that could shatter even metal and stone, a punch landed on his face, nearly shattering the skull beneath his mask.

Propelled by this immense force, he was sent flying, his shattered head the center of his impact, smashing through a stone wall and showering him with fragments of the ancient, dilapidated temple.

This situation caused the "Abyss Apostles," who had initially positioned themselves in a superior position, to become so disheveled in just a short encounter.

This dramatic shift in demeanor is a stark contrast to his earlier declaration to Pantalone that he would offer them his final act.

The heavy blow from D'Artagnan affected even his vocal organs, rendering him unable to speak clearly after such a severe blow.

"...Cough...Damn it..."

He didn't understand why that thing had such power. Even within their cult, monsters possessing such terrifying power were few and far between.

Apart from 'Your Highness', very few people could guarantee that they would be confident enough to face such a powerful being head-on, and yet he had previously underestimated that young warrior.
