The Devil's Cage Chapter 1476 – CHOP!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A while earlier…
Unwilling, Bloody Mary was bringing Gluttony down the ocean and into the chaotic darkness.
It wasn’t unwilling to bring Gluttony into the darkness, it was just that going into the place required Bloody Mary to be in its illusory form and it still had to ‘cover’ Gluttony in the process, so it was quite a burden for the High Demon.
Fortunately, Gluttony had a similar illusory form, thus easing Bloody Mary’s burden. Had Gluttony stayed in his solid form, no matter how hard Bloody Mary tried, it wouldn’t be able to bring Gluttony down there.
The thing that irritated Bloody Mary the most was when Gluttony was inside Bloody Mary, the hungry sin wanted to taste the High Demon with its tongue.
Bloody bastard!
You really eat everything you see!
Wanna have a rock? What about pesticides? Damn it!
The only fortunate thing was Gluttony was able to hold his strong hunger because he knew there would be a feast waiting for him. Hence, Bloody Mary didn’t need to take drastic measures to deal with the sins—asking help from its contractor.
It wasn’t something shameful though, Bloody Mary had a real contract with Kieran. The High Demon gave so much of itself in the trade, so it would be reasonable for it to get some help, right? It should be that way… Right?
Some thoughts later, the hesitant Bloody Mary unconsciously moved further away from Gluttony.
It wasn’t because of the problem that it was pondering about though. Gluttony was just really scaring the High Demon after they arrived inside the chaotic darkness, which was at the bottom of the sea bed.
“Eat eat eat eat eat eat eat!”
Gluttony’s eyes were glaring at the gigantic body of the Devourer, his mouth mumbling non-stop and drooling heavily.

His saliva rolled down his chin and dropped on his collar. A second later, Gluttony’s saliva was everywhere but the drooling didn’t stop.
Instead, the drooling grew stronger, taking less than three seconds to go from the little drops of saliva to gushing out like a fountain.
His saliva drenched his coat and continued dripping on the ground. A few seconds later, the spot where Gluttony was standing was flooded with saliva and it didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
It grew swiftly into a little pond, then a pool, and ultimately, a lake.
Bloody Mary widened its eyes at the lake of saliva, Gluttony’s figure long gone in the waters; Gluttony had fused with his own saliva.
Then, the lake of saliva flew up and smeared all over the Devourer’s gigantic face.
Splash!
Tsssss!
After a loud splash, sizzling noises followed. It started to melt the sturdy scales around the Devourer’s head, as if the saliva was heavy acid. White smoke started to rise under Bloody Mary’s astonished gaze.
“He can eat this?!” Bloody Mary was utterly astonished.
It knew how powerful the defense of this snake monster could be. Common high-rankers wouldn’t even have the chance to leave a scratch on its scale, only true power and one-of-a-kind attack could penetrate the sturdy defenses. However, Gluttony’s saliva attack had successfully melted its scales.
“It really eats anything?”
Bloody Mary unconsciously thought of the term, shivery unconsciously.
At times like this, Bloody Mary always thought about its sorry fate, and in order to make sure such a fate wouldn’t befall itself, it flew up and waited patiently.
When the saliva melted a hole on the scales, Bloody Mary and Gluttony in his saliva form flew inside.
Bloody Mary’s task was more than just a guide.
…
The Devourer appeared once again.

That gigantic body that could cloud the sky appeared above the temple.
Nelson quivered hard.
“So this is the Devourer?” the Outpost Master mumbled to himself.
The knights who were fighting around the temple showed fear through their eyes. The traitors who engaged the knights were no better than the knights themselves.
Those civilians who were praying in their tent also stopped, looking up at the dark sky helplessly.
The fierce onslaught on the battlefield turned into a strange silence when the Devourer appeared above the sky. Everyone stopped.
They were all looking at the Devourer and waiting for their final moments.
Then, some people with better eyesight noticed the Devourer was acting strange.
It wasn’t as pressuring and intimidating, like how it had descended upon Naveya City. It looked like… it was tumbling around because of a stomach ache?
The same thought bloomed in everyone’s mind almost instantaneously, but they instinctively discarded the thought from their minds.
Ridiculous, how could the Devourer, who devoured Gods, suffer a stomach ache?
But… it really seemed so.
Before the crowd could find out more, the Devourer in the night sky started to fall to the ground.
“RUN!” Nelson shouted loudly as he was the first to notice the fall.
All the knights from Arya Outpost scattered away upon the shout, the traitors and civilians starting to run too.
Karoooooooom!
The earth shook and mountains were shifted by the force.
The running crowd felt like the land was dancing. All of them fell to the ground, turning around in fright and looking at the gigantic, falling body.
Then, everyone widened their eyes inconceivably, because that gigantic body was shrinking very fast.
As a matter of fact, the shrinking had started the moment the Devourer fell from the sky, it was just that the people hadn’t noticed because of their attempt to escape.
They finally noticed the unusual scene after they fell down.
“What is that?”
Every single scale on the Devourer’s body started to bulge. Each time a scale bulged, a loud crunching noise would follow, as though something was eating the flesh of the Devourer from under its skin.
“How is this even happening?”
The people shook their head at the ridiculous thought. They were unwilling to accept this outrageous fact.
Likewise, the God of Lightning shared the same thought. He was unwilling to accept it either.
“Impossible! This is impossible! How did you find it? How? Just how?!”
A mouthful of blood gushed out from God of Lightning’s mouth because of the magic repulsion, his towering pressure weakened instantly, even his blue body starting to shrivel.
The electric current around him started to lose its powers also.
“I just don’t trust people and don’t believe everything I see easily. I also try my best in testing every single possible outcome, just like what I am doing now!”
Before Kieran’s voice subsided, three layers of [Night Veil] shrouded his body.
Kakroom!
Another thick bolt of lightning fell down from the sky.
God of Lightning’s weak body transformed into a bolt of lightning and zapped away.
But Kieran was faster!
His left hand fluttered his feather mantle and his right hand grabbed the real [Extreme Night].
CHANG!
As the dark blade was drawn, black light glimmered!
The sword as dark as night could even slash lightning!
NIGHT SLASH!

The 48 Laws of Power in Practice
Discover how power works in the world, through true stories and real-world applications. In the game of power, we all play - as either conscious or unconscious players. So we can't afford not to know the rules. The ** chapters have the most outrageous content. In each chapter, I will be summarizing one of the laws and how it can be applied to current events and pop culture. Some of you have told me the stories are what you enjoy the most. They are real, raw, and anonymous so that others may learn from my mistakes. There will be cringe-worthy stories of self-sabotage, but perhaps also some unlikely triumphs. Some of the details are changed to protect the innocent, (or perhaps guilty). "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene illustrates truths about power, through philosophy and lessons from three thousand years of history, which still hold true today. There is a lot to learn from each chapter. I encourage you to go on this journey with me by reflecting on how each law might apply to you. Together, may we learn from the past and take control of the future.
