THE VILLAIN'S POV Chapter 773 Agaroth vs Odin (3)
Previously on THE VILLAIN'S POV...
The Purifier stood as an ultimate assault—
merging the Demon King's strength with endless reality-shattering skills he had consumed across his lifetime.
A blow impossible to defend or push away...
utterly overpowering, leaving Nameless defeated in an instant when Agaroth unleashed it upon him.
But Odin...
the Pale Devastation...
had halted it.
Beyond that... he endured zero injury at all.
"This… is impossible."
For the very first time...
the demons experienced terror.
Terror that their mighty ruler...
could be vanquished.
At the same time...
Odin scattered the lingering force of the Purifier while his grin expanded.
"I have to confess,"
he stated steadily,
"you caught me off guard, Demon King. I've never witnessed a strike like that. Indeed... this marks the height of aura control."
Odin burst into booming laughter and slapped his palms in ridicule toward Agaroth.
"Impressive! Yet sadly—
such an assault fails against me."
His face contorted into a horrifying glare.
"Aura… holds no power over me."
The proclamation from the Lord of the Great Ones
rattled the souls of all demons.
Odin moved forward gradually toward the Demon King.
"Even though you knew this... from our previous clash.
You still recklessly attempt it on me. I have to admit..."
"...how letdown, Agaroth."
The Purifier itself had crumbled.
What options remained for the Demon King now,
with his most potent strike unable to even graze Odin?
"I warned you earlier, Demon King,"
Odin declared icily.
"You grasp nothing. You comprehend absolutely nothing."
"A demon cannot overcome a Great One."
"A king cannot topple a god."
"A creation cannot surpass its maker."
"You amount to a mere insignificant entity, shaped by unworthy creators.
You might seize might.
You might seize dominance.
But you shall never best me."
Odin grinned—a chilling grin—
as he glided like a specter amid the pale fog toward the Demon King.
Odin held total supremacy.
Nevertheless...
at the peak of that supremacy...
Odin halted.
Why?
For his foe—
the Demon King, Agaroth—
was chuckling.
The Demon King chuckled,
and chuckled...
and chuckled.
He chuckled boisterously...
maniacally...
and it disturbed Odin.
Why?
Why was he chuckling?
Why chuckle when cornered so desperately?
Even his devotees—who once idolized him—
were sinking into hopelessness.
Yet Agaroth continued chuckling.
Then, moments later...
the Demon King settled down.
A fearsome grin stretched over his features.
And right then...
an event unfolded that caused Odin to scowl.
The Demon King's form...
which brimmed with aura and immense might...
transformed.
Without notice, every bit of that might—
every trace of that aura—
erased entirely.
Agaroth cast it aside.
Every final remnant.
"Odin… Lord of the Great Ones,"
Agaroth uttered, his statement hitting like a tremor as his scarlet eyes blazed fiercely,
"it appears you are the one who comprehends nothing."
"I knew aura fails against you. But curiosity drove me...
curiosity about how much you could withstand... how much you could master."
"That's why I unleashed my ultimate aura-driven assaults on you."
"And you didn't let me down,"
the Demon King went on as his frame quivered.
"You deflected each and every one."
"But do you honestly think..."
Agaroth's mouth twisted upward,
"...that this concludes it?"
"Hehehe… hahahahahahahahaha!!! "
The Demon King chuckled darkly...
and his form started shifting utterly.
From void, a shadowy material burst forth and enveloped Agaroth.
That material solidified, morphing into an eerie, foreboding dark metal.
The metal slithered across his entire frame, extending until it sealed his mouth and nose... exposing solely his intense scarlet eyes.
Agaroth's altered shape was disturbing.
No aura present.
No immense might.
No suffocating force.
Still, from his form ascended a shadowy haze...
a malevolent, sinister powder.
Confronted by this view, Odin hesitated.
Agaroth had undoubtedly achieved something.
That shadowy haze was unmistakably a type of force.
Yet...
Odin detected not a hint of aura from him.
It seemed as if Agaroth had forsaken it wholly.
"You declared I couldn't best you.
You declared I couldn't touch you.
You declared I couldn't perceive the reality."
"But you are the sightless one, Odin."
"Sightless to the truth that my shadows..."
Agaroth stated frostily,
"...have already started engulfing you."
As those words landed...
Odin lifted his gaze to the heavens,
and his eyes bulged at the oversight.
The clear, ghostly white sky had altered.
An odd shadow had appeared from nowhere, consuming it greedily...
until the sky divided in half.
One portion ghostly and ashen.
The other utterly dark and void-like.
Both halves battled fiercely, each seeking to devour the other.
In that instant...
Agaroth lunged ahead again.
Swifter than previously, he rushed at Odin.
This time, the Demon King's punch lacked flames.
Lacked embellishment.
Lacked glow.
Yet that punch surpassed all.
It broke the unseen barrier and landed directly on Odin's face.
The deafening impact hurled Odin backward, disbelief and bewilderment marking his expression,
until he crashed hard into the earth.
But he bounced back nearly at once.
Regardless—
Agaroth was already closing in.
The Demon King's punches hammered onward without pause, ripping into the Great One's form with horrifying velocity before every far-off witness.
In some way...
Agaroth had reversed the tide.
And Odin grasped it.
He grasped that he had misjudged the Demon King.
A grin reappeared on Odin's face as he steadied himself and struck back, unleashing swift retorts and trading strikes with Agaroth.
The pair collided brutally...
without restraint...
as their surroundings detonated.
All of Helmond quaked.
Its ruin grew certain.
During the frenzy, Odin bellowed wildly:
"Then advance, Demon King!
Reveal all your arsenal!!"
The ghostly haze flared as the emptiness near Odin quivered intensely during his duel with Agaroth.
"You and your devouring force—
I shall crush all that you hold!"
"You may attempt it, you vile Lord of the Great Ones,"
Agaroth responded icily,
"but ultimately... you will be consumed—just like everyone prior!"
