Free Web NovelChapter 174: Chapter 173 - Desert Battle(Part 2)
Point-of-View: Mike Barnes
———————————————————————————
"I take it that the three of you are to fight me? How utterly adorable," Smirked the Demon we’d surrounded.
I hate him already...stupid pretty boy, he looks like he’s a part of a boy band that’s super popular even though their singing is mediocre, and are only popular because of how attractive they look.
Elise, Leonardo and I had surrounded him in a triangle formation, and fortunately, the battle was spreading out, giving us plenty of space without having to worry about any other enemies.
The back up that Neo had brought in were keeping the Monsters at bay, as were X and Kiyana, and Neo’s blast of water from the bottom of the sea had taken care of most of Chaos’s backup.
"So, hey, you a Demon of Sin?" Leonardo suddenly asked the Demon, who looked relaxed and chill.
"Indeed I am, darling. Of the Sin of Lust, I am Asmodeus, the pleasure is yours, I’m sure," He introduced himself with a graceful bow.
Oh, crap...he’s one of the Demons of Sin whom little is known about regarding his abilities. Not good, we have no idea what to expect from him...his Aura is as terrifyingly immense as the likes of Lucifer and Dracula.
I’ve fought the latter, and as you might remember, things really didn’t go well for me. Like, at all. I was lucky to survive that encounter.
"So, uh...any chance you could just stand down and go home?" I inquired hopefully.
"Oh, but it has been so very long since I last came to the living world, I wouldn’t dare miss out on the fun," Came the response, before adding, "Now, then...are you three going to continue standing there and admiring my beauty? Or are you going to attack?"
"Be careful what you wish for!" Exclaimed Elise, as she stomped on the ground and sent a wave of ice bursting out towards him, when suddenly, he vanished from sight, reappearing right in front of her.
"Mm, how nice, some ice in this sweltering desert...I think I’ll help myself to you," He remarked, as he placed a hand on her chin, tilted her head up and leaned in.
He then abruptly sprang back with a wide-eyed look on his face, most of his torso frozen solid.
"Tch, that almost did it," Frowned Elise, as she took a wary step back.
"Oh, my...I’m frozen to the bone. How icy cold," Mused Asmodeus, as the frost began to dissipate.
I then shot forward as I maxed out Accelerate at x17...I’ve fully mastered my maximum output with my main Physical Skill techniques, here’s hoping it’ll be enough!
As he noticed me and began to turn his gaze towards me, I swirled slicing streaks of water around my fist as I maxed out Reinforce and drove my fist up towards his face.
He casually raised his palm to block my strike, and as my fist struck his palm, the water streaks sliced off his fingers and left gashes along his wrist and forearm...before the force of my punch snapped his arm in several places, his eyes widening as the bone tore through his skin, blood bursting out.
Elise then sent another wave of ice shooting out towards him, which wrapped around his feet and legs, restraining him as Leonardo sprang up behind him with his weapon in hand, a three-section spear, fully extended, his speed boosted using his Physical Skill.
As he swung it at Asmodeus’s neck, the Demon swiftly caught the handle using his tail, the edge of the blade nicking his neck before abruptly halting.
"I’m not done yet...now, Terra Skill: Sand Control!" Exclaimed Leonardo, the sand around Asmodeus rising up and wrapping around him as it engulfed him.
As the sand began to crush him, a fiery glow emanated out, before exploding in a blast of flames, sending Leonardo flying back and skidding along the sand painfully, before Asmodeus swiftly flew up as Elise fired out several ice shards at him, one of them gashing his right calf deeply.
His body was badly crushed, most of his bones probably broken...unfortunately, those injuries were rapidly healing already, his body going back to normal in a few seconds.
"That was quite painful, I must say...I’m going to have to punish you all for that," Said the Demon, as he formed a Negative Blast and fired it out at Leonardo.
He sprang back in alarm, narrowly avoiding it, before sending several projectiles of sand shooting up at him...the majority of Terra Skill users struggle to use or produce sand, me included, it’s much easier to form or control chunks of earth instead.
But it’s the opposite with Leonardo. Even the Terra Skill techniques that are considered to be easy or basic are beyond him, but he’s highly skilled when it comes to techniques relating to sand, be it producing sand when there’s none, or controlling sand that’s already present.
In other words, a desert is somewhere where he absolutely thrives, enabling him to use his Terra Skill abilities to the fullest...unfortunately, it may not be enough when he’s up against a Demon of Sin.
Asmodeus zipped down towards the ground, letting some of the sand projectiles hit him as he swooped down towards Leonardo at an alarming speed, firing out Negative Blasts at Elise and me to force us to spring back and keep us from intervening.
As he closed in on Leonardo and swung his claws at him, Leonardo managed to just barely block the slash with the middle section of his spear, the handle splintering and breaking apart upon impact.
Leonardo then swiftly grabbed the broken top section of the spear and slashed at Asmodeus, whose momentum kept him from being able to fully evade, a deep slash slicing across the bridge of his nose.
As his feet slammed onto the ground and he blasted out flames at Leonardo, who leapt away to avoid being engulfed but wasn’t able to avoid getting badly singed by the flames. He let out a wince of pain, as a dark look appeared on Asmodeus’s face as he touched at the cut and stared at the blood on his fingers.
"H-how dare you...no one scars my beautiful face and lives. No one...no one!" He snapped furiously, before turning his gaze towards Leonardo with a look of immense fury, sending chills down my spine, "I’m going to kill you, and I-...argh!"
He was abruptly cut off as something burst out through his forehead, a sharp, pointy white projectile speared through it.
His eyes then widened in horror, before he quickly reached back and grabbed it, snapping it with a loud crack, turning around in alarm right as someone closed in on him and placed their hand on his back...it’s Inoka, why’s he here?
Well, not that I’m complaining, mind you.
"Gotcha," He smirked, before blood suddenly burst out of the Demon’s mouth, a gasp of pain escaping his lips as his body violently spasmed.
Inoka quickly sprang back and burst out a couple more bone spikes from his palms, piercing through Asmodeus’s body...ohh, I get it, he must be injecting Light Skill energy into the Demon.
A wave of sand then burst out around the creepy Demon and engulfed him, wrapping around him before Elise send more ice barreling towards him, enveloping the sand.
But it didn’t hold for long, as streaks of black flames burst out through the sand and ice, before shattering the ice and blowing away the sand in a fiery explosion, Asmodeus flying up and wrenching Inoka’s bones out of his back, a look of desperation on his face. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Damn it, he got out again," Grimaced Leonardo warily.
"Yeah, but I managed to inject him with an immense amount of Light energy, he’s going to be a lot slower and weaker now," Remarked Inoka, as he retracted the bone spikes back into his palms.
"Ahh, I-I see now, that was what Lucy warned us about, it was you...you’re a natural enemy to us. Therefore, you need to die," Stated Asmodeus as he stared at Inoka with a look of blank, silent rage, and fear, in his eyes.
"I’m a natural enemy to Demons, huh? Why, thank you, that’s quite the compliment, Mr Pretty Boy," Smirked Inoka in response.
He sure knows how to get under someone’s skin, doesn’t he?
"How disgustingly unattractive you are...," Growled Asmodeus in response, clenching his fists.
Hm? His injuries...they’re healing a lot slower than before, and that was clearly agitating him. Inoka really is their natural enemy, wow.
"Quit acting so tough, with the amount of Light energy I pumped into you, there’s no way you can put up even half as good a fight as you’d usually be capable of," Remarked Inoka, as he fired out a Light Blast at him, which he just barely evaded, the blast hitting his left shoulder.
"How dare you...I’ll make every single one of you submit to me! Have a taste of my Arousal Mist!" He snapped, as he suddenly burst out a pink cloud of mist towards us, too wide to avoid.
Oh, crap, I should probably avoid inhaling this, I-...huh? What the...? I’m holding my breath, but I feel faint...no, that’s not quite it, my body feels warm, and it’s getting warmer.
I feel...horny? What? The hell is this...? I...I can’t think straight. This is...this really bad, I’ve...I’ve never been this turned on in my life...
