Chapter 101 The Last Struggle!
Chapter 101 The Last Struggle!
-----
By infusing Qi and Mana into gluttony, I was able to fill the wound I made by piercing the arm that was holding the club from the blue-skinned Oni. This made it so his arm inflated like a balloon and exploded into pieces. This technique consumed a lot of Qi, but it left him incapacitated to use the club, as it fell to the ground, and I quickly kicked it away the second after.
The Oni's eyes quickly changed from defiant and berserk to pained and… fearful.
"Unngh…! Aaaghh…! Y-You damn brat…" he muttered, looking at me while gritting his sharp teeth.
The other Hunters quickly attacked him in conjunction once more, as their combined piercing attacks using their spears pushed him away, leaving his back filled with even more wounds.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Uuaaagggh…!"
BOOM!
His entire body fell over the floor as he gasped for air, his arm had been blown into pieces and whatever was left of it was now bleeding intensively. I was surprised he was able to resist the pain so much, but demons are usually insane, so pain is not an obstacle to their thought process, but often an incentive to go even more insane.
I swiftly moved towards the Oni, thinking that I could finish him off before Eleanora had to bother, but I was wrong. He did something I was half-expecting him to do.
FLASH!
The leftover Demonic Energy he had exploded out of his body as his cut off hand regrew in an instant, like a crab regrowing a claw, it emerged while splattering blood everywhere, and he quickly stood up, looking at me while infusing his fists with demonic energy.
"You're relentless…" I said, as the Oni smiled with a lunatic expression, and pushed forward, leaping towards me and suddenly unleashing a barrage of storming punches.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each of his fists became way stronger than before, and so did his style of combat, as if he had been learning how to fight better since our fight started. His movements became swifter, and he was able to evade some of my own attacks, hitting my shoulder, stomach, and legs constantly.
CRACK! CRASH! CLASH!
I felt some of my bones cracking, but I continued pushing forward while gritting my teeth, using Blood Cloth, I used my own internal hemorrhage to contain my broken bones from making me fall over the floor.
"RRAAAA! BLAKEEE!"
The hunters tried to attack, led by Gradus, but they were suddenly thrown away with enormous punches in their guts, knocking them out instantly, the Oni had become faster than me now, and I was not able to stop him from doing that now.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Unngh…!
"B-Blake…"
"No…!"
"Kid…!"
They muttered some last words before falling unconscious, but I paid no attention to them, they had already been plenty of useful, and although the demon had grown stronger, his entire body was tired, and his demonic energy was exhausted, he was moving merely by instinct and adrenaline alone.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
I used my spear to intercept his blows, but it continued to show more and more cracks, Gluttony might end up breaking before I can finish off the Oni…
But I didn't had to really finish him off, I just had to give my last push… And I had already come out with a special technique that I have created in here.
"Gluttony Spear Technique: Flesh Tearer!"
"Unnngh?!"
The Oni looked at me in horror as my spear was shrouded in the last Mana and Qi I had, overflowing with it, I unleashed vertical slash that tore apart a large chunk of the flesh of his chest, his blood splattered everywhere, as he agonizingly cried in pain.
"UUUAAAGGH…! Y-You damn… Brat! I am going to-"
FLASH!
And the Oni was left paralyzed as he felt an ominous presence emerge behind him, in an instant the shadows behind him materialized into a beautiful Vampire girl, as she looked at him like a prey, her spear moved swiftly and was shrouded in the power of her Blood-Attribute Aether.
"Blood Spear Technique: Rose Garden."
"Ah… W-What…?!"
Eleanora unleashed her strongest attack against the Oni from behind, boosted by Assassination, her spear was shrouded in the Aura of Blood she could generate, and countless mirages of red roses suddenly appeared around him, as if he found himself trapped inside a garden of them.
But suddenly, each rose became a piercing spear attack, piercing through his neck from all sides, his flesh was torn apart, and then, all the piercing power reached his bone, cracking it and… blowing his head off at long last.
"T-This… I… died…?"
The Oni muttered those last words as his head fell over the floor, looking at his own body that was still standing up, he had died so fast he didn't believed it, but darkness quickly took over his consciousness, dying on the spot.
I fell over the floor almost unconsciously, as I felt the warmth of recovery magic covering my body, I had leveled up and my body was being automatically recovered…
"Ah… Eleanora… Good work." I sighed in relief.
Eleanora sat down at my side, as she sighed.
"My lord! Why didn't you let me attack earlier?! Are you a masochist or something? do you like to be shrouded in wounds? You have to take into consideration that you're a children still! What are you? Only like six years of age! And you already want to be filled with scars? Please be more considerate with yourself!"
Eleanora began to reprimand my recklessness. It was all finely calculated, but I appreciated how much she worried about me. She was the woman I most loved, so I was happy that she cared so much about me.
I held her hand and smiled back at her.
"Thank you for worrying, but I am good now…" I said. "More importantly, we need to check the Hunters, I have to heal them… Thankfully, I brought some extra Spirit Orbs I have been saving for a while…"
