BXBX NOVEL Chapter 251 Desperate Battle
-----
Gluttony moved like the hands of a clock to block he hits from the demon. The weapon\'s endurance having been enhanced with a large quantity of demonic energy, mana, and blood ki I have infused into it since the beginning of the battle. The blows were strong despite Gluttony absorbing the demon\'s attacks through the weapon\'s ability to absorb demonic energy. Each hit was some demonic energy absorbed, but the damage of each hit was too much, provoking the spear to crack more and more, until it split in two.
CRAAAASH!
I fell down into the floor due to sustaining such an immense pressure, I had survived an attack that would had surely killed me, but at least three ribs were broken, luckily none had pierced a vital organ, but the pain was severe. Meanwhile, Gluttony ended being split in two, I had not let go of my weapon, so each piece was in my hands.
The demon didn\'t ran to my side immediately, gasping for air. Everyone else in the battlefield was far away, their attacks wouldn\'t easily reach us, the priests were preparing a special attack, Eric and Chris were too afraid to get closer (I can\'t blame them), and Erika was running here, but she was too slow to compare with the demon\'s speed, always ending up not being able to catch up with us.
"Hahh… My energy was drained?" The Demon sighed. The energy drain was slightly exhausting, but his demonic energy recovered very quickly, so he was slowly getting better, although gasping for air was something he was doing right now. "That strange weapon… It is not a normal Cursed Weapon at all…"
He slowly walked towards me, looking at my defeated body in the floor, he noticed the expression I was making, one filled with… no emotions other than excitement.
"Smiling until the end?" He asked with a sickened glare.
"You\'re really an idiot." I laughed.
"Wha…?"
FLAAASH!
And from within his shadows, the figure of a woman emerged. It was nobody else than her, my spirit! It has been over thirty minutes since her Astral Projection died, she could had been summoned for a long while, but I\'ve been waiting for this moment all this time, a moment where he would lower his guard, because Eleanora\'s strength laid in landing hits when foes least expected it through [Shadow Sneak], [Assassination], [Illusion], and [Stealth] Skills!
Eleanora\'s spear, Envy, quickly pierced through the demon\'s chest, surprising him. She had attempted to hit his head but she noticed a large concentration of Soul Aura there, his aura had moved by itself and protected his vital point. Eleanora was not nitpicky so she immediately pointed her attack into his chest, piercing through his Demonic Core and damaging it by leaving a large wound on it!
CRAAAASH!
"GRAAAH…!"
The Demon looked at Eleanora as she smiled, her attacks continuously pushed him away, as an enormous ray of Blood Ki that I transferred to her was unleashed from her free hand, blowing the demon several meters away.
BOOOM!!!
"Asmodeus!" She cried, saying my old name, she reached to me. She didn\'t had to worry though, I was fine, I quickly stood up, ignoring the pain of the three ribs broke, tough I quickly realized my left leg was also dislocated, but nothing that a kick smack couldn\'t fix.
CRACK!
"I am fine, don\'t worry." I said, moving my leg around to check if it was alright. "I was merely faking being weakened to lower his guard, you\'ve landed a good hit, with his Demon Core cracked, the Demonic Energy he can use is limited. He is no longer as strong as before." A smile surged on my lips as Eleanora\'s eyes opened wide in surprise.
"More importantly…" I said, as the demon that was hit by Eleanora with everything she had quickly began to stand up. Although the fluctuations of demonic energy rushing through his body were now disrupted and had decreased by almost 90% of what they originally were, his soul was still powerful, and so was his Soul Aura, the expression of his soul, which quickly began to take shape into an enormous giant made of phantasmal gray and dark energies…
"You… It\'s you! The one that… ruined everything…! Cough…!" The Demon coughed, vomiting a mouthful of blood, as several spheres of darkness emerged around him, rotating rapidly. "DIE!"
He immediately directed all the spheres of darkness towards us, as Eleanora and I quickly decided to block them, as we were not fast enough to evade them all.
FLASH!
However, a brightness closer to the brightness of the sun itself suddenly emerged before us, as an enormous and glorious Dragon appeared. It took him long enough to catch up, but now that the demon was weakened, it should be possible to follow him around!
"GROOOAARRR!!!"
The mere roar of this mighty dragon reverberated across the surroundings, as a flash of light was unleashed, spreading out like a shockwave that quickly consumed the darkness of the demon\'s magic. The gargoyle looked at us with disbelief, filled with rage as the powerful dragon from Ellergest was exuding a gigantic aura of light.
"Blake… I\'ve finally caught up with you… How come you can fight this demon all by yourself?!" Ellergest asked in shock and disbelief, as his magic suddenly hit me like a bath of light, my ribs slowly went back to their original place, and I felt slightly more revitalized. Having such a competent mage at my side was always useful, I suppose.
"I guess you\'re useful in some things…" I said.
"Eh?! Was I ever useless to you?!" Asked Ellergest in disbelief.
"RAAAAH!"
The Demon suddenly lost his patience, with blood and wounds, his aura shaped into a monstrous specter, covering his body like a suit of armor, and then, through the enhancement acquired with it, he rushed to our side at a flashing speed.
CRAAAASH!
Ellergest\' dragon intercepted him, as his scales, hard enough to resist his blows, served as a good shield. His light gathered into several rays of light, all hitting the demon, too fast for him to properly evade.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
