Astaroth The Sexiest Demon Arc: Chapter_014 (Intense Battle of Asta and Elite Demon Knight, Part I)
About 20 Kilometers, Inner Circle.
The figure of a long-haired woman who fluttered bolted nimbly before finally stopped. She stopped because she had reached the goal. Not many people can make this charm-filled girl run in worries. If there is one, then maybe only those who have characteristics like the figure in front of her.
The man from the beginning had no intention of running away or hiding. Probably because he intended to do something that made him no longer need to hide himself.
A cold aura seeped out from his body.
Typical human energies always emit heat, except those with rare bodies like Moon Eclipse Body or Extreme Yin Body and similar. Unfortunately, it only appears thousands of years, even in a million will not be one. Most importantly, the body that emits cool Aura, meaning the owner of Negative Aura.
Normal human can not use Negative Aura let alone remove it. This only explains one thing, if he is not human with a Rare Body, then it means he is a Demon.
There is not a word about someone with a special constitution. So, he is—Demon!
'How can a Demon be in the Forest of Chyrma without anyone knowing? What the hell is that 'old man' has been doing?' Asta began to curse.
This guy, no, this Demon is not even bothered by the presence of Asta. Although the girl in front of him was a "Pituh", it was obvious he was very confident with his strength.
A smile appeared from behind the gray hood he was wearing.
"Finally coming here," he said as he had been waiting for Asta.
Asta who heard it just as she stopped seemed to show a twitch in her eyebrows.
"Who sent you?"
"How can a Demon like you enter the City, into this forest?!"
Asta immediately threw a question at her.
The gray hood did not answer at all, he just raised his hood and showed a pale, scaly face on both cheeks and two small horns on his forehead. That's when the Negative Aura becomes stronger and the air around becomes colder.
Asta was stunned to see this man's face. 'He has a Demonish characteristic that stands out in addition to the scales on his face. This man clearly Demon with pure blood, from his powers magnitude, it must also descendants of Noble Demon's. Not to mention—how can he maintain his body shape in the Human World without a contract sign? Even his power seems to be in his peak state.'
"I have been waiting a long time, the former Titled Demon King, Astaroth the Lust. Living in the Human World makes you weaker, aren't you? You can not even recognize this Aura of mine," he said in the manner of a great nobleman.
He showed a cool smile at Asta. His Aura pressure continues to increase, making Asta's face more gloomy. At the level of Demon, this person must have been above the Demon Commander or above the Grandmaster Realm. He is at the level of the Elite Demon Knights, just a step away from the True Elite of Demon Knights.
This Elite Demon Knights, perhaps comparing him to humans, is already in the intermediate stage of the Ancestor Wizards Realm.
For the Demon, those under the Grandmaster are Demon Warriors, staged by the Grandmaster called Demon Commander, in the early stages of Ancestor Realm called the Demon Knights, in the intermediate stage of Ancestor Realm is called as Elite of Demon Knights, in the late stage of the Ancestor Realm called the True Elite of Demon Knights, at the peak stage of the Ancestor Realm called as the Demon Duke (the True Noble Demon). Thereafter, there is a General Demon (Demon Lord), Demon King, Master Demon King or Titled Demon King (the General Pillar) and the Great Demon King.
The Titled Demon King or General Pillar would become stronger under the direct command of the Great Demon King, otherwise their power would be limited by the law of the heavens. Realm above the Great Demon King no one has ever seen it yet. Even in the last 10,000 years in the Nether World heritage trail no other than a record of Satan who is said to transcend Great Demon King Realm and become God of Demon.
So, this time for Asta whose strength is limited by 'many things' must confront a Demon of the same level with the mid stage of the Ancestor Wizards Realm, a full one realm above her.
Her knitting eyebrows are full of vigilance.
'He recognizes my identity. Thats right, this Aura looks familiar.'
Asta glared at the Elite Demon Knights before him.
"You—you are the son of Demon General Belial, the Demon Knight Helial! Apparently a subordinate of Queen Asmodeus, what? Is she still so vengeance for 'it'? to think she make you come here," said Asta realized something.
Queen Asmodeus and herself had an old grudge and from what the Elite Demon Knights Helial said, it is likely that the former Sin of Lust was gave him orders to come here.
Something like, "Make the seductive woman, Astaroth, suffers thoroughly. Destroy everything she wants to protect, do not give her hope to meet 'That Person'." It may well have been ordered long ago if Queen Demon Asmodeus knew Asta really treasured where she lives now.
But think about it again. Asta seemed to catch something out of her, 'That's right, this snot-nosed boy is the Demon General Belial, he, Belial is the one who conspires with that bastard Lucifer.'
"That's right, Myself, Helial son of the Demon General Belial," he said proudly.
"Even if a snot body like you is a Belial son. You shouldn't be able to get into the city much less enter into this Forest. This place is under the direct oversight of that old man. How did you do it?!" Asta asked angrily.
"I do not feel there is no need to explain everything to you, Your Excellency Astarte. I'd rather warn you that your little life right now, maybe in danger."
Helial ignores the question, even calling her in sarcastically.
"Like a kid like you can do what? And don't ever call me by that name, the only one who could call me so is just 'My lord'!!" Asta said with a look cold bone piercing.
Even so, in her heart she was quite worried. She is just a Mid-step Level 4 Senior Wizards. Even if Asta forced her, at most she only had the power of a Level 5 Master Wizards, the comparison was still too far away with a Demon on Level 14's. That would be at least one realm above her.
"Haha. This great one is at the level of one realm higher than you, one slap alone is enough for This One to beat you."
Helial showed his evil smile. He seemed to have seen the end of Asta, who was in front of him.
"Try it, I'm sure you'll regret it, having been attacked today." Asta still evasive. Even so her whole body filled with caution, her eyes did not escape at all from the movement of the Elite Demon Knights in front of her.
"Hmph!"
"Let's see who will regret it!"
He immediately crashed forward at full speed, in the blink of Helial's eye in front of Asta. Even for Asta who is so vigilant, she remains too late to react in time. A palm full of killing intent attack toward Asta's body in the air.
Although the sudden attack landed directly on her body. Asta who managed to avoid serious injury only ends up spewing a gulp of blood before landing by holding up her adorable chest. She seemed to have difficult in breathe, her Aura also become unstable. If it were not for her body that is equivalent to the Primary Evolution of the Mortal Pendekars, perhaps this time Asta had been killed.
Only one attack has made Asta almost seriously injured. She is a former Titled Demon King, wounded just because of an attack from the Elite Demon Knights? The world will surely laugh at her.
Of course, Asta thought so. For this reason, she is now very angry, even having to restrain himself by biting her own lips.
'Even if 'the curse' becomes stronger, I have to let go of Seal of my power. My only weakness right now is attack power, while my body's defenses are far superior. Even if this kid is in General Demon Stage, as long as the attacks aren't in the vital part of my body, then he will never be able to kill me.'
Asta breathed a long enough and the tense of her body back calmly.
'I must be more calm. Previously, he managed to attack even though I've put all my attention on every movement of him. However, my body was too tense and eventually made me late to react. But—it will not happen again a second time.'
Helial was a little surprised. He thought that at least Asta would be hurt even worse, although her body's defenses were strong, directly receiving an attack from him would still leave a deep enough injuries. To know his attack was just like giving a stroke to a stone, with his level of arrogance, it made Helial quite annoyed.
He comes with full preparation. As long as he can kill Asta then the rest of his mission will be very easy. But who would have thought? He can not even make Asta seriously injured by such a devastating attack. He who had put all his killing intent into his attacks, was very confident during his assault on Asta, at least losing thirty percent of the power is a sure thing to happen to Asta.
Hiding his surprise Helial said, "This One really glad you're strong enough to withstand this crushing attack from This One. If this is too easy for ending your life it will be very tedious for This One."
"At least, This One want to play with you a little longer. Who does not want to play fire with the Sexiest Demon, former Demon King of Lust, Astaroth, right?"
Helial once again attacked as fast as lightning. Only this time Asta looks more calm. Not only that, she even smoothly avoided Helial attacks. Helial angrily turned his attack into a streak. Dozens of blows landed here and there.
Even if Asta is not as strong as her old self. Her body still has one's experience of Kings Realm, by maximizing Her speed and minimizing unnecessary movements, she could avoid almost the entire impact of Helial attacks.
From his arrogant nature, Helial's head grew hotter. So annoyed that he seemed to be mocked by other demon. Just as he himself said, he was too much play with fire in the end make his head became so hot 'cause of it.
Instead of holding back and planning a more mature attack. Helial actually attacked more blindly, the impact of his attacks increasingly widespread. Big trees around them began to collapse one by one.
Anger culminated in his head, but Helial could only shout at Asta, "Hey, do not just dodge it! Let This One land my attacks on you!"
Asta just smiled sweetly and teased her, "Why? This is only the capability of the Son of Belial? Are you trying to clean the woods?"
"F*CK!!"
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you right now!!" even though he exclaimed like that, his attacks still couldn't touch Asta completely.
* whoos... whoos... whoos *
The longer time passed the more it became clear that Helial could not actually land an attack on Asta.
* tapp! *
Filled with frustration, Helial finally stopped attacking. After so long attacking, he finally understood that his attacks were in vain. Knowing that, he again thought how stupid and naive he was, this made him very frustrated. Regardless, this time he can only grind his teeth and rearrange his plans.
He already knows that Asta is not an easy opponent. Not only that, Helial even understands that a rough attack like he did before will not do much if he can not directly affect the vital part of his opponent. Only, he was consumed by Asta provocation that made him unable to think with a cold head.
Helial thought, 'There seems to be no choice but to use 'it'. This One must kill Astaroth as soon as possible, before an advanced Grandpa is aware there is something wrong.'
"Looks like you are very lucky, former Demon King of Lust. This One is very rarely use it, but you can see this form is a great fortune. For this is a gift from the Master of the Dawn, the Great Demon King Lucifer, to This One." He proudly proclaims it.
"Hmph, what a stupid!" Asta snorted with a look of disdain.
Who knows what he means, Asta felt there was something wrong. Her intuition says that if she does not take all her abilities, she will be in danger.
'What exactly does this kid want to do?' Asta thought that felt weird.
When Helial hears Asta commented and sees a look that looks as though he's just a garbage, making it even more impatient to let go of it.
"Get ready, Astarte! This One will show you, what they call the Blood Awakening in the legend! I will make you regret, and very sorry for seeing me with that look!"
Asta frowned. He was not sure if the snot-brat really said the Blood Awakening was just to scare her or something else, which she clearly remembered even Lucifer could not use the Blood Awakening. So how can he make others do it?
Beyond Asta's expectations. Helial really intends to use the Blood Awakening, but he can not use the real Blood Awakening because he is not a special bloodline of Demon. Though he's a pure special bloodlin-demon descendant, his blood may be too thin, making him unable to use the Blood Awakening in the past.
It's just that after Lucifer, or rather, the mastermind behind the scene of him succeeds in giving a false Blood Awakening to Lucifer's subordinates as a reward as well as to increase their combat power.
Helial craned his right arm toward his own mouth before biting it and making blood flow from his veins. He sipped the blood flowing out without restraint.
A few moments later. The energy around him changes, the aura becomes more violent. His body began to make a rapid transformation. A thick aura swirling around it makes a wall of chaos difficult to penetrate.
Asta who saw it was about to attack but she cancel it. The Aura that covering it is so thick and hard to break through. She began to feel panic in her heart.
