[Chapter 230] Blood Spilt Pt 6

In the forest, the allied commander watches the display in awe, unable to comprehend what is happening. He watches a sheet flames dance about, a black blur visible for a millisecond before disappearing and appearing in another location. A crazed looking demon's hands are unseeable as they move in a flurry, his eyes unable to even catch a glimpse of their movements.

He slowly goes over what he has seen, at first, a massive shadow covered the battlefield, then black soldiers began to fight the army. Then demons covered the field. The shadows fought them off before more came, overwhelming them. Then a massive bug appeared out of nowhere.

It massacred them as a massive wall was created around the enemies. Then, human screams escaped from the wall of earth created by the Igris guards. Their wave tactic having failed, he assumes they tried to escape. Then a massive portal appeared and the bugs disappeared, then this battle began. It has been going on for the past…25 minutes maybe? He shakily looks to his side to see a mortified scout by his side, wide eyed at the scene.

He quietly clears his throat as he commands, "Go back to the army and tell them to prepare…a new enemy appeared and he is currently much more dangerous than the army was.

The scout nods before disappearing into the forest, happy to get away from the scene. And as the commander turns around, a new change has taken place. The once black blur has now turned disappeared, only grey flames and swords appearing from seemingly nowhere as the demon laughs crazedly.

The commander shakes his head, rubbing his eyes, "I need to retire after this. Fighting for 300 years has hurt my mind."

I dodge left and right as flames wiz past me, exploding the ground into smithereens with each ball of fire or blazing sword. Suddenly, I hold my breath as black flames begin to heat my body, turning my skin a bright orange in color.

My eyes lock onto the demon as a plan forms in my mind. My legs begin to tense as I become even faster, dodging each attack as I begin to count down the minutes. I sprint straight at the demon as he laughs evilly, "Coming at me?! Finally! Show me what you got!"

My legs tense as I dodge a flurry of fireballs being tossed from his hands, my feet digging into the dirt as I dodge each one again and again, approaching him within seconds. His eyes go wide as my mouth splits open, a stream of black flames flying at him. He quickly pulls out a grey flamed sword, cutting through the stream of black flames. His mouth splits open as a long, stringlike tongue reveals itself, "Flames are my game! Get a new-wait what?!" He confidently shouts, but then is surprised yet again.

His jaw drops in shock as the flames on his blade extinguish, the metal edge beginning to melt as the midnight flames fill his vision, catching his face ablaze.

Moments later, I feel a sharp pressure on my head as I fly backwards, but I quickly react as I look under the burning demon's figure. A small shadow underneath him is showing, causing me to smile.

'Shadow Transportation!'

The shadow beneath me opens wide as I fall through, moments later, my vision clearing as I see him, right in front of me. I immediately react as I stretch my arms out, ready to attack him. But before I can stop myself, a red shield of energy appears in front of me. I slam into it full force as I feel the pressure in my head become stronger, blood beginning to drip into my eyes.

The demon quickly flips around, kicking me in the face and sending me flying. I slam into my wall as it shatters, falling into pieces as I slam into tree after tree. Only after several trees do I stop, finally hitting a massive one. I fall into the ground as I quickly reach for my eye when a horrific image enters my vision. My arm has its bones sticking out, coated in crimson blood.

But within seconds, I watch as it begins to heal, the bones quickly moving back in place. I don't have a exo-skeleton or scales currently as this form has shadow added to it, causing me unable to transform without losing my modifications which I can't risk. So I am stuck with the damage across my body and this weak form until I can find a true lull in battle.

I suddenly hear Sky's voice, "Another attack incoming!"

I look up and quickly dodge to my left, barely being missed by a massive fireball. That's when I hear the demon's sickening voice, started off by a horrid laughter.

"That's amazing! You have flames hotter than hell's! And your not even an immortal yet! How did you do it?! Wait, don't tell me! That would spoil the fun! But it damn did hurt when you scorched my face off you asshole!"

I ignore his monologue as I feel my body finish healing, almost all damage done reversed. Almost.

I reach up and grab whatever is in my head before pulling with all my strength, seeing the handle of a broken blade resting in my hand.

I finally look up, gazing at the demon in shock, half of his face is charred, revealing the muscles underneath as he speaks. And he is shockingly doing his monologue, talking about how he is gonna torture me.

"And after that! I'm going to boil you in lava as your soul is eaten by my father! Piece by piece till only a little bit of you is left! And then-"

He is suddenly cut off as I stand up, causing his half smile to fade, "Your still able to move! Gods damn, you are one annoying little cockroach!

I'm gonna-"

I don't hesitate as I bolt at him, appearing at his side in a second. Luckily, I was able to bypass his guard thanks to his monologue and his assumption that I was weakened. I reach into his sides as my claws pierce through his armor, grabbing his ribs as I snap them outward. His face contorts in pain as a swords appear around us, "Son of a-"

But before he can do anything, I take his snapped ribs and yank upwards, causing them to tear through his skin as his innards fall onto the ground, "Talking distracts you in a fight."
