Chapter 51 Trouble(5)

"So you came. Atleast we know you are not a coward even if you associate yourself with Angels." Said one of the red skinned humanoids with a sneer. He had a brutal looking face and he looked exactly like the imps except he was as tall as a adult human and he wore pants under his fur skirt but no shirt. He also carried an axe on his back that I was pretty sure was a cursed weapon. It was obvious that the Demon was sneering at me.

"And who might you be?" I asked politely while floating towards the ground.

"I am Grox, a warrior of Bellicus, the house of Wrath." The demon said and I could see Synthia's face become serious. As soon as we reached the ground she drew her sword from it's scabbered.

"Do you know these guys?" I asked

"I know of them. They are from the house of Wrath that is lead by the Demon King, Azazel, one of the seven demon kings of hell." Synthia replied while watching Grox and his entourage intently.

"So Grox of Bellicus, why did you decide to pay our fine city a visit?" I asked

"Isn't it obvious? We came here to conquer this city in the name of lord Azazel." Grox replied with a sinister grin showing off his pearly whites.

"Tim, Roxy and you two will deal with the imps while Synthia and I will deal with the four big ones." I quickly formed a plan after confirming his intentions.

"But....." Kirt started but I quickly shut him down with a demonic glare which earned a laugh from Grox.

Both Synthia and I took to the sky and I created javelins made of hellfire and Synthia created many golden fireballs and we rained them down on our opponents. I made my javelins explode on contact but Grox easily blocked the javelins with his axe and the explosions only caused him skid a few inches backwards. As for the other three, they opted to dodge my attacks instead of dodging which caused them to be sent flying by the impact but they had no burn marks. When Synthia's fireballs hit, I could see burn severe burn marks appear on their skin but those quickly healed.

"Not bad, you would have made a fine addition to the house of Bellicus but unfortunately you die today." Grox said and then jumped into the air and swung his axe at me and I blocked with my sword but the impact sent me spiralling through the air. I managed to stabilize myself after flying a couple meters and I could see Grox had already landed on the ground.

'[Demon's Pride], [Demon Enchant], Ignite.' Feeling the strength behind that blow I knew this wasn't going to be an easy fight and so I decided to go all out from the beginning. My body was covered in a dark red aura and so was my blade then my blade ignited with dark orange hellfire.

"Good, you're taking this fight seriously you are going need to if you don't want to die, haha." Grox laughed and I could see what looked fire and steam radiate from his body and he flew at me with his axe and I did the same. This time I wasn't thrown backwards but at the same time neither was he. I kicked him and he was sent flying into a building and I flew after him. As I flew after him I saw an arc of orange flames fly towards me but easily dispelled it with a swing of my sword. Grox climbed out of the building with a fiery aura surrounding him but I could tell those flames weren't hellfire.

I flew towards him with all my might and swung my sword at his head but he blocked it with his axe and the force of the strike carried us through to the other end of the building. Grox shot a fire breath at me and I quickly jumped backwards with the help of my wings. I flew at him and we locked ourselves into a ferocious clash of metal vs metal, that is until I noticed something.

*Crack*

My blade was showing signs of breaking apart and I had no idea how long it could withstand this pressure. As we continued to clash the sword started showing more signs of cracking and I knew I had to do something. I jumped backwards once again and this time I tried to make a super concentrated fireball but it would take time and unfortunately Grox wouldn't give it to me. Grox jumped into the air and swung his axe at me causing an arc of fire to appear but I blocked with my sword and was thrown through the air. The assault didn't stop their as Grox fired dozen of fire slashes towards me forcing me to dodge but some of them seemed to follow me wherever I go. Fortunately for me I knew how to perform under pressure.
