Chapter 45

The Demon immediately grabbed the stump of his arm which stopped the bleeding, he made a low growl as his body shook while his mana spread out.

Harzel spoke in an arrogant and angry tone.

"A mere slave, DARES TO HUMILIATE ME!?"

it was like watching some certain anime transformation as the demon roared out causing the building-up wind to push everything around him back!

"I'LL DESTROY YOU!"

After retracting his high-frequency blades, Jack moved to the surface to avoid getting buried alive again then watched what was happening, the suit warned him that any action that he could make now would only work against him.

So yes, he was, unfortunately, forced to watch Harzel's change, the demon grew to the height of 50 meters successfully destroying the underground base with the condition leader of the base left to be unknown.

Not that jack cared right now, he wanted to slay the demon before him!

The man noticed another Nearby demon from the base was looking for the leader.

So Jack created another handgun then fired a bullet that caused the demon's head to splatter out while the Suit notified him of the success of eliminating an enemy base by himself.

the good news about it?

It granted him another free upgrade that happened to be manual override!

while it was still to a limited degree, it was a welcome upgrade!

This upgrade allowed him to use any mode 'addons' and auxiliary options as he pleased but there was always a catch, as the protective feature that kept him 'human' would be turned off.

but would he even care about such things at this moment?

Especially when he knew how weak he was compared to what he hated?

The ones that used the lives of his loved ones and his own for a sick game.

Ignoring the still roaring Demon, he was still growing in height as the suit asked Jack this despite the irreversible changes it could bring.

<<TOGGLE MANUAL OVERRIDE? Y/N>>>

With the demon having the upper hand in weight, height, strength, and the surging mana as he was completing his transformation.

Might as well even the odds.

Jack picked Y for 'Yes'.

Upon doing so, the inside of his suit created hundreds of needles that stabbed into his skin, his flesh, his bones without warning!

All of his major organs received a painful prick, as they were being changed according to the strongest genes that would help make a difference against this fight.

Jack's visor opened up as he puked out a large amount of blood and other questionable things, if someone looked closer, they'd see the inside of the suit digging into his flesh and bones using needles, as the suit literally forced him to discard so many useless things from his body, or replaced the lesser important things with something better!

This gave him a general idea of what werewolves go through with each transformation.

so one could only imagine just how much pain he was going through, especially with the new stuff being forcefully integrated into his being, he grew a foot in height, his muscle mass became more compacted, as the 'waste' that was forced out of his body was recycled into materials for later use.

How he looked now, was like now made him seem like a monster than anything, each major joint had a metallic spike made from the magic armors that were recycled by the suit, there were red lava-like cracks that pulsed across his tall frame, his raptor-like feet looked more menacing, with blade-like fingers and a thumb, his black hair turned spiky and hardened, his eyes remained the same other than the new one on his forehead it was similar to a snake's, his face was somewhat stretched out with four large fangs meant for ripping and tearing poking out from the gaps of his lips, his nose was pressed back with the flesh and cartilage removed to further increase his field of view.

Once all the pain was done surging through his body, Jack exhaled a small cloud of steam, as he was finally relaxing from the recent experience.

He clenched his hands into a fist as his body crackled and popped before tilting his head to one side which made more popping sounds, then tilted to the other which made one last crackle, as He felt light, liberated, and, most importantly, Stronger than ever!

The suit provided him with a timer that said 30 minutes, who knows if that was enough.

But that wasn't a timer for the duration for how long he can maintain it, but more of for when the changes to become permanent, yes it was a duration before the manual override sets this as his base form.

this was the collection of everything he had assimilated into the suit, with the acid spit, improved jumping power, tougher flesh like a tank's, improved eyesight that allowed him to see under any environment as it was still hard to get used to the third eye, his skeletal structure, ligaments, and tendons was now more metal than bone thanks to the nanobots and their meticulous care, the second and the latter, still retained the elastic nature, while the metallic bones were flexible making it capable of undergoing strains of even getter weight!

"GWAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM ABSOLUTE!"

there were numerous others, but Harzel was done with his transformation finally as his booming laughter echoed out!

"I AM HARZEL THE DEMON OF LUST AND THIS IS YOUR END, PUNY SLAVE!"

It was full of confidence, and arrogance, something that was natural for someone that was strongest among the weak of this world, yes jack knew that he was still pretty weak, but he knew he had a chance against the looming figure before him.

As for how much, remains to be seen since he had just taken the more 'optimal' form the suit had provided via manual override so who knows how much stronger he was.

The large demon pointed his finger towards Jack then he felt like his body was held in place, rendering him unable to dodge what was coming.

Harzel attacked with his fist fully intending on crushing Jack where he stood!

Thus since he was unable to move, all that could be done was...

Brace himself!

So with the limited movement that could be made, Jack spread his legs to shift his center of gravity, he spread his arms wide ready to catch the incoming attack as Harzel roared out.

"TIME TO DIE LIKE THE INSECT YOU ARE!"

The fist landed heavily crashing into Jack, the area was destroyed leaving a large crater from the amount of strength that was dropped into the ground, powerful gusts of wind ripped the nearby walls and trees from the earth!

But there was something odd, there was no death throe and the smile of victory that Harzel had was distorted by a frown as the ground began to shake as if it had an earthquake happening, as the said 'earthquake' grew stronger the surviving trees started to shake as well, the large hand of Harzel began to rise from the ground.

*GRRRRRRAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHH!!!*

the Demon was now gritting his teeth as he was still trying to push down, but then a bestial howl reverberated out, that made Harzel's body shiver unnaturally from the effects before one could see a bloodied figure under the fist, red glowing eyes shined out before another howl echoed out even louder than the previous then Harzel was pushed off balance as he tried to catch his footing.

The demon's Fist was gravely injured judging from the mangled state it was in he was also missing a few fingers!

As one could hear a slight humming sound coming from Jack's claws!

But magic circles formed beside the bloodied Jack as he fired his version of a mana bullet, by the way, it was the .50 caliber version~

Harzel Attempted to brute force it with his other hand this time in a fist since it was just magic and his body was resistant to magic, it was just that he didn't anticipate the mana bullets would tear away at his flesh and crack his bones!

Jack made a mad dash towards Harzel as his body moved like a speeding bullet as Harzel was distracted from the pain and surprise that his mana bullet caused.

On his shoulder, the spike was humming just like his claws earlier as it dug deep into the large demon's chest as Harzel coughed out blood!

The demon was forced to the ground from the amount of strength that Jack was using including a recent magic ability that the suit integrated using the blood and missing fingers, 'Physical enhancement' mixed with the suit's boosting abilities gave him the upper hand with physical strength momentarily as not only does it eat a lot of his mana reserves at once, but the forced boost with the suit was bringing more damage to his insides as if he was 'microwaving' himself!

But the price was worth it~ as Harzel was within reach, but also temporarily defenseless!

so why would he not strike now?

Jack attacked swiftly aiming for the demon's horn to cripple him and allow himself to enjoy torturing the bastard but the damned demon did something unexpected of someone that seemed so prideful and brought something else into the fray.

Harzel screamed out in fear as he called out to someone!

"LORD FATHER SAVE ME!"

Just before he managed to reach the horn a lightning bolt struck him paralyzing him and Harzel for a moment then a disembodied voice boomed out Making Jack's body rattle as his injuries got even worse!

"WHO DARES TO HARM MY CHILD!?"

Despite the words, it contained no feelings towards Harzel but it did hold some excitement as if looking forward to seeing who had the guts to bring harm to those of his bloodline.

The demon that sat on a throne that was larger than the sky looked down towards Jack With a smirk of amusement, he looked similar to a minotaur from the horns and hooves for feet, a bulky frame that exuded power, yet his face was human-like, fully black eyes, two large tusks with jagged scales that covered his limbs!

This was Azazel the demon king of lust, just like his son!
