"Ariel…"
"Wait!"
"You're not Ariel."
The Earth Demon Geggom had followed the scent of the Wind Demon Ariel all the way here.
Because the Witch Heart Demon had found him and invited the Four Elemental Demons to join him in a grand undertaking: establishing a Hell Dimension that belonged to the five of them, starting from scratch, growing stronger, and achieving new glory.
The Witch Heart Demon had shown him the glorious future of this endeavor.
The Earth Demon Geggom agreed and also consented to help the Witch Heart Demon find the remaining three demons. Once the Four Elemental Demons were reunited, plus the life and death laws in the Witch Heart Demon's possession, they would have enough to create their own Hell Dimension.
Furthermore, the Witch Heart Demon had already prepared the souls needed for the dimension's early stages.
Back then, Mephisto had left a saint venganza contract on Earth, containing thousands of souls.
As long as they found this contract, their newly created Hell Dimension could even use it as an opportunity to intervene in the soul struggle on Earth.
Just as Mephisto had once contended with Jehovah for the ownership of Earth's souls.
In short.
They might not lose.
So…
After leaving the Witch Heart Demon, the Earth Demon Geggom tirelessly searched for the remaining three demons.
And now.
Relying on the unique connection between the Four Elemental Demons, the Earth Demon Geggom had caught the scent of the Wind Demon Ariel and followed it all the way.
Initially, he was confused as to why the Wind Demon Ariel was avoiding him, but then, seeing the Wind Demon's location become increasingly remote, he understood.
But…
Emerging from the ground, the Earth Demon Geggom, who was just about to speak, froze when he saw Hawke, who had the aura of the Wind Demon Ariel but was clearly not Ariel.
At the same time!
The Earth Demon Geggom grew wary.
Hawke smiled, "Are you asking about the Wind Demon Ariel? I just parted ways with him; he went to do something for me. If you're willing, you can help me too."
Upon hearing this, the Earth Demon Geggom's earthen eyebrows furrowed.
"He, Ariel, helping you do something? What?"
"Help me cultivate."
The smile vanished from Hawke's face. After speaking with a slight smile, he swung his right fist at the Earth Demon Geggom.
"Boom!"
The Earth Demon Geggom was heavily injured almost the moment Hawke raised his right fist. His chest instantly caved in, revealing a glowing Earth Core, and he was sent flying backward.
Just as he was sent flying, he heard Hawke's words as he swung his right fist.
"Super! Sonic Punch—"
"Boom!"
The moment the Earth Demon Geggom landed on the ground, he roared, swinging his hands repeatedly at Hawke.
Rumble!
The surrounding ground rumbled continuously, and sharp stone pillars rose one after another from the Earth, like a sharp earthen dragon rushing underground. In just the blink of an eye, spikes appeared beneath Hawke.
Then—
"Pfft!"
"What?"
The Earth Demon Geggom stared at the afterimage, which was pierced by the spikes, not seeing the expected scene. He was stunned.
The next second.
A voice sounded from behind him.
"Hey!"
"Over here."
"Whoosh!"
The Earth Demon Geggom instinctively turned his head to look.
He saw a flash of light, and then, his rapidly repaired chest suddenly ached intensely.
The Earth Demon Geggom instinctively lowered his head to look.
In his view.
A strange arm had already pierced his chest, and his right hand had already gripped his Earth Core.
In an instant.
The Earth Demon Geggom quickly looked up at Hawke.
Just as he was about to speak.
Hawke had already pulled his Earth Core out of his chest.
The next second.
Without his Earth Core, the Earth Demon Geggom, before Hawke's eyes, visibly transformed back into sand and fell into the desert beneath his feet.
It wasn't that he was too weak.
It was that Hawke was too strong.
The most important point.
The Earth Demon was not like the intangible Wind Demon.
If the Wind Demon died due to carelessness, then the Earth Demon lost because he had a physical form.
The Wind Demon was intangible.
The Earth Demon had a physical form. If the Earth Demon encountered a powerful force and was forcibly disassembled, or if his internal Earth Core was destroyed or stolen, he would die.
Coincidentally.
Hawke was most skilled at physical attacks.
So…
Hawke glanced at the Earth Demon, who had turned back into sand with a gust of wind, then withdrew his gaze, opened his right hand, and focused on the glowing Earth Core in his palm.
This was the Earth Element.
Hawke's mind stirred, and the Phoenix phantom reappeared behind him. Immediately after, crimson Phoenix Flames appeared in his right palm and began refining the Earth Core in his hand.
In the Little Universe.
With the entry of the Earth Element, one of the Four Elemental Demons, the entire Little Universe once again experienced a huge tremor.
And this time, the tremor was different from the one caused by the Wind Element.
If the tremor from the Wind Element was like a cosmic storm sweeping through the entire Little Universe.
Then the tremor brought by the Earth Element was completely like a mountain collapsing and the Earth cracking.
In the Little Universe, the meteor fragments that had just been set in motion by the Wind Element completely broke into sand. Then, with the addition of the Earth Element, they seemed to gradually grow larger, and then, under the influence of the Wind Element, slowly began to rotate again.
It looked exactly like the earliest stage of a Planet about to be born.
But…
It wasn't enough.
The Four Elemental Demons, lacking any one, could not form a true material World.
"Wind Demon."
"And the Earth Demon."
"Just landed, not even an hour, tsk, and two major Elemental Demons are already in hand?"
"This efficiency is too high."
After opening his eyes, Hawke thought to himself, then with a thought, he looked towards his far left.
He had sensed the presence of the Fire Demon there.
After acquiring the two elements, Hawke also understood why the Earth Demon had tracked him here.
The Four Elemental Demons had a very mysterious connection with each other.
This was precisely why, if needed, even if the Four Elemental Demons were at the ends of the Earth, they could successfully find each other.
Hawke smiled.
He instinctively took out his phone from his pocket and checked the time.
It was only three in the afternoon.
"Tsk."
"If I move faster, I might even be able to catch the last flight back to New York City at ten tonight."
"Hmm."
"That's settled then, work hard, finish early!"
Hawke raised an eyebrow, put his phone back in his pocket, and the moment he looked up, with a bang, he vanished from his spot, then swiftly moved through the clouds like a streak of light towards the Wind Demon's location.
Anyway, his mysterious physique only affected him when he left New York City. It seemed that so far, he hadn't encountered any accidents when taking transportation back to New York City.
Was this because returning to New York City was considered 'returning to base'?
Hawke thought this as he flew above the clouds.
The next second.
He noticed a volcano beneath the clouds. With a thought, he instantly appeared at a volcanic crater, ignoring the dense sulfur smoke around him, and glanced down into the crater.
In his view.
Hawke noticed the Fire Demon Salamac, who seemed to be swimming in the dense magma beneath the volcano, changing various swimming strokes.
At the same time.
The Fire Demon Salamac, who was swimming heartily in the intense magma, also sensed the auras of his good brothers, the Wind Demon and the Earth Demon.
With a bang!
The Fire Demon Salamac instantly rose from the magma. Immediately after, without even bothering to wipe off the dripping magma, he intended to go out and greet his two good brothers.
Then—
He saw Hawke!
"Fuck!"
"Bang!"
The Fire Demon's flames surged the moment he sensed the auras of his good brothers, the Wind Demon and the Earth Demon, on Hawke. Then, without hesitation, he turned around and, like a diver, plunged back into the thick magma with a splash.
Don't let his name, Fire Demon, make him sound violent.
But in reality, he was the smartest of the Four Elemental Demons.
Uh…
Relatively smart.
In any case, even though he hadn't figured out why the auras of his good brothers, the Wind Demon and the Earth Demon, were on the same person, this didn't prevent him from making the most advantageous choice for himself in a short amount of time.
The most important point.
Regardless of the reason, the fact that his good brothers' auras appeared on the same person, and this person had also come to find him, could only mean one thing.
It spelled trouble.
Hawke, standing at the volcanic crater, stared for a moment at the Fire Demon Salamac, who had just flown out of the magma and then, with a whoosh, plunged back into it.
The next second.
Hawke shook his head, finding it somewhat amusing.
Alright.
Without a doubt, the Fire Demon Salamac must have been startled by the auras of the Wind Demon and the Earth Demon on him, thinking that he had come to collect him.
However…
He had indeed come to collect the Fire Demon.
Hawke's thoughts churned. He leaned his head forward and called out to the Fire Demon, who had completely retreated into the magma below: "Salamac, Ariel and Geggom are in trouble. They need your help. They asked me to call you to help."
The Fire Demon Salamac in the magma slowly poked his head out, listening to Hawke's words.
The Wind Demon and the Earth Demon were in trouble?
No way.
The Four Elemental Demons were of the same lineage; he absolutely had to go help them out.
The Fire Demon Salamac thought to himself, and with a whoosh, he once again rose from the magma, carrying rolling thick smoke, and flew towards the volcanic crater above.
Instantly.
The volcanic crater spewed out thick smoke, as if the volcano had come alive and was about to erupt.
But…
Hawke, who was waiting nearby, saw only dense smoke and no Fire Demon. The smile on his face froze slightly.
The next second.
He heard the Fire Demon's voice coming from inside the volcano.
"Hahaha, do you take me for a fool? Do you think you can trick me into coming out like that? Motherfucker, you want to trick me up here? If you've got the guts, come down yourself!"
"…"
Hawke fell silent.
This was no ordinary Elemental Demon; he had to bring out the heavy punches.
He raised his foot expressionlessly.
The next second.
He took a step!
