Chapter 1392 The Resilient Boss
-----
The Demonic Door wasn't a true Demon, it was a designated Demonic Artifact where a Demon Soul had been infused into it. Its functions were simple, protect, guard, and defend a very important area of the tower, not letting anybody inside except Merlinus and his most trusted allies. Its form wasn't defined by the door, however, as it expanded through the walls and ceiling, capable of slowly "devouring" his surroundings and replacing them with his true body.
His power lies within his eyes, however, as he can create many, firing rapid lasers from every direction, a lethal weapon to most foes, giving the door the power to pulverize them and cover with holes most enemies easily, making it the ideal, loyal guardian that Merlinus could have ever asked for.
However, although it could produce eyes for more rapid fire, whenever they were shattered, it would feel a part of its powers growing weaker, and as many were broken, dozens of them, the demonic door was already on the verge of collapsing!
"E-ENOUGH WITH THIS!"
The Demon Soul within the Door, an unknown Demon without Title or Name, but that was fairly strong amongst the "Demon Warriors" that were candidates to become Demon Dukes, had grown completely exhausted, reaching his limits.
Suddenly, all the eyes retreated and disappeared, leaving everyone finally safe from their deadly demonic lasers, capable of ignoring most defenses and even piercing through most common armor, although things with mithril could resist it to an extent.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH… UUGGH…! I'M GOING TO EAT YOU UP!"
The Demonic Door did something it didn't expect it would be pushed to do. To begin with, this move by itself was risky, but it had no other option right now.
"Huh? What's going on- Uwah?!"
Suddenly, Anna panicked as she saw massive fangs emerge from the floor.
"Look!"
Elisa panicked, noticing more of the same fangs on the walls, moving around, everywhere.
"The ceiling as well!"
Monica was terrified as she noticed hundreds of fangs over the ceiling too.
The entire corridor was getting full of fangs, fleshy tendrils moving around, the bricks and everything else was nothing but a façade, the scales of the monster.
"Don't tell me the entire corridor is the Demonic Door's mouth?!" Anna panicked. "Tomas! Why didn't you tell us?!"
"I-I had no idea myself!" Tomas panicked. "I seriously didn't know this! Uwaaagh! RUN!"
The ceiling, walls, and floor started to quickly close, as the Demonic Door laughed.
"You won't be able to run away in time! I'll devour you and crush you into meat paste, you bastards!"
As the massive jaw rapidly closed, everyone flew away, but it was too late, the exit was gone, there was a huge wall in the place, with teeth as well!
"We'll have to break through!" Angelina said. "Elisa! You're the physically strongest here! Let's charge together! Monica, Anna, attack it from the sides with your magic, weaken it! Gandalf, prepare a big attack! Tomas, support him!"@@novelbin@@
As she said that, he jaws were rushing towards them, the group acted as quickly as possible, Angelina and Elisa nodded together, holy spear and golden dragon claws piercing and cleaving through the walls, as giant chunks of flesh were sliced apart and destroyed.
The wall was very thick though, massively at that! Even as they cut giant cubes of meat, there seemed to never be an end.
The jaws rushed towards them, giant sharp teeth trying to crush them one by one!
"Not on my watch! {Familiar-Bond: Elemental Magic Beam}!"
"Take this! {Accursed Phantasmal Claws}!"
Anna and Monica unleashed their magic, as Anna fired four elemental beams channeling the power of her Familiars, while Monica's arms turned into massive shadow and phantom claws that were infused with weakening curses.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! CRASH! CRASH!
As their magic attacks landed, the entire wall began to tremble and the jaws coming quickly seemed to stop momentarily.
"Now, master Gandalf!" said Tomas.
"I am not your master, brat!" Gandalf roared. "…But I like the sound of that."
A giant magic circle was conjured, as Gandalf unleashed a titanic beam of three elements, ice, thunder, and fire, the beam powered up by Tomas grimoires pierced through the wall completely!
BOOOMMM!!!
The wall exploded and burned, being pulverized into ashes and rapidly letting everyone escape before the jaws were to close.
"UUAAARRGH! THAT FUCKING HURT!"
The Demonic Door complained as its jaws closed, to everyone there, it looked as if the door wasn't even there, but everything was walls.
"T-That was hardcore, but we managed to escape somehow…" Anna muttered. "Howe do we deal with this guy?! Do we just…"
"Yeah, we just blast him!" Angelina nodded. "His eyes are very few and now he can't spam them to laser us into Swiss cheese, so it's the perfect time to just reduce whatever he is into a pile of minced demon meat."

"I agree with her, let's just go ham, we can't waste our time any longer! Planta and the rest are waiting for our help!" Gandalf said. "Tomas, can you channel your demonic powers? We'll need more power."
"M-My demonic powers?" Tomas asked, feeling slightly afraid. "I-I don't know… I… Lady Planta said she sealed them so…"
"Ah, well, a pity, we'll have to deal with this on our own then," Gandalf said. "Let's prepare a big beam again, this time, we'll have to divide it into ten other beams, like a machinegun but with magic beams! Do you get it, boy?"
"A-A machinegun? What is that, sir?" Tomas wondered.
"Ah right you're from this world dammit! Whatever, just help me out!" Gandalf said crankily.
"Y-Yes!" Tomas nodded.
Meanwhile, the rest of the party drank mana potions and ate special nutritional bars of fruits and cereals that Planta had given to them, which she prepared using her magic.
They were quick meals packed full of nutrients, carbs, proteins, and more, which healed someone's satiation completely and much better than Stamina Potions, as they gave stat buffs and everything.
Gandalf and Tomas ate their own too, as the Demonic Door began trembling only after two minutes since it closed its jaws.
RUMBLE!
"BASTARDS… YOU'RE STILL THERE?! WANNA GO AGAIN?!"
The Demonic Door opened its jaws, inviting them in.
"THEN COME IN!"
