BXBX NOVEL Chapter 180 You're Not The Demon Slayer
Everything seemed really strange to him because this wasn't the kind of experience he got when they had used the VR headsets to train in their combat classes.
During their training, they had always been transported to one kind of terrain, a normal landscape terrain with a few trees around.
"This is really strange." Ace said after he had almost slipped.
The strange and new experience had made him forget about the demons which were the main reason behind the game but he wasn't going to be forgetting about them for long as two fireballs flew towards him from behind and they were both on target all hitting him on his back.
[ -20 HP ]
Ace quickly turned as he felt the stinging pain in his back.
"I thought this was just a game, why does that feel so painful?"
He didn't want to feel that kind of pain again as he began to avoid the numerous fireballs being thrown at him from the demons which had appeared at the upper part of the sloppy terrain.
The demons were numbering up to one hundred which meant that he was receiving quite a huge number of fireball attacks all at the same time.
He jumped up and tried to use his wind ability and lift himself even higher but nothing happened as he saw himself crash on the snowy ground.
"What the heck?" He said looking at his hands.
[ There is no ability in your tab ]
The system message popped up in front of him after noticing that he had tried to use an ability.
"Well then add one to my tab."
[ Abilities cannot be added after a battle has begun ]
Ace felt really frustrated as he tried to get up from the floor but that was prevented as lots of fireballs crashed beside him and created enough force to send him tumbling down the terrain.
"Owwwwww." He groaned as he crawled out from the snow that had covered him. "What about my weapon, didn't I choose that too?"
Immediately after saying that two fan blades appeared in his hands and he just stared at the pair of weapons with a horrid look on his face.
"Why would I choose fan blades that I don't know how to use?" Ace said as he got up with the fan blades.
He had rolled down to a more leveled part of the terrain now but it was still really snowy, he was just glad that the demons weren't there yet.
At that moment Sony and Max appeared a little distance away from him but he didn't notice them because they were behind him.
"Who would even choose a terrain like this?" Max said looking at the whole place which was all snow and nothing else.
"Maybe he's trying to train himself in different terrains," Sony said.
"Maybe." Max said with a shrug."Let's just see what surprise he has for us this time."
Ace was trying to think of the best way to combat the demons as he didn't have his ability and a weapon that he could really use.
He didn't get enough time to fully think as the demons began to troop down from the exact place he had rolled down from.
The first set of ten demons jumped down and quickly made their way towards him but there were no fireballs as more and more demons kept jumping down.
Ace was just glad that they weren't fireballs as he quickly took a fighting pose and without even waiting for the demons to get close began attacking them.
Sure he didn't know how to hold the fans properly but that didn't mean he didn't know how to use them to slash off some demon body parts.
"These things are sharp." He said after slashing off the head of a demon.
"Why the heck is he using a fan blade?" Max asked.
"Yeah and he seems to be fighting differently like he's more direct and isn't using any special moves like before," Sony noted.
Ace had managed to reduce the gang of about one hundred demons to what looked like sixty now and that was when the demons began to slowly move back.
"Why are they moving back?" Ace said as he began to slowly move back himself.
"I'm surprised he hasn't finished these demons up till now," Sony said.
"If he had that flaming sword or those Katana blades of his this would have been over, I wonder why he doesn't want to use any of them," Max said.
It didn't take long to realize that he had made a mistake by stepping back as the demons began to throw fireballs at him now that they had him in a nice range.
Ace was trying his best to avoid the fireballs and he was doing okay avoiding them but there was no way he was going to keep this up for long.
"Why isn't he using his earth wall?" Sony said.
"Or firing back at them with his own fireballs?" Max added.
It was really strange to see someone who showed so much promise in his last battle getting overwhelmed by ordinary demons now.
Ace was really beginning to get overwhelmed by the frequent fireballs that weren't giving him breathing space at all as he began to get hit.

He had gotten hit three times on his shoulder and that was enough to knock one of his fan blades off his hands as he fell to the floor.
"Owwww." Ace groaned on the floor. "How can a game be this painful?"
He had already given and was just waiting for the rest of the fireballs to hit him and end the game but the fireballs never touched him.
He quickly turned to see that the fireballs were hitting an invisible force covering him and with every hit he would see blue ripples.
That wasn't the only surprise as he saw something fly in from nowhere taking out all the demons in the front and just as the boomerang was returning Max was running towards it with full speed.
He jumped up, grabbed the boomerang and descended in the middle of the demons, and began to take them out with his boomerang.
"You're welcome," Sony said as he ran past Ace and just as he got close to the demon in front of him, he created two circular blue blades around his hands and slashed the demon down.
"Who are those guys?" Ace said as he watched Sony and Max deal with the demons quite easily and he could say he was quite amazed.
It didn't take the two long to be finally done with the demons as they immediately turned their gazes towards Ace.
"Who are you guys?" Ace asked immediately after they had gotten close.
That question had sparked up some reaction in Sony as he looked Ace up and down.
"You don't remember, we helped you fight those demons the other time," Max said. "Silent Pain." He said pointing at himself.
"I can see that above your head." Ace said.
"We fought that flying demon…." The rest of his words were all muffled up as Sony had covered his mouth with his hands.
"You're not the Demon Slayer," Sony said.
"I was told that my character's name was Demon Slayer but I didn't quite get it." Ace said, still wondering how a character would have already been prepared for him and that was when something clicked in his mind.
"Luis."
"Who?" Max asked. "Who's Luis?"
"He's my roommate, I found this…"
Before Ace could finish what he was saying the ground quickly cracked open and took him by surprise, it would have also taken Sony and Max if they didn't start running back as the whole ground began to collapse.
They kept running until they had finally reached another sloppy part where the crack and sinking had stopped.
There was a very large hole on the floor and they kept looking at it until a demon with ice wings had flown out of it growling loudly.
"Why does this always keep happening?" Max complained as he turned away from the beast.
