BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100 Taunting The Enemy
Well yes, the pain was excruciating, but my mind was so used to pain now that it only felt like a sensation, a small burning sensation that only kept me more awake. My legs trembled but I quickly infused Qi into them until they stood straight.
My mind was unwavering, and my body perhaps not as much, but through my techniques and magic, I could make it a bit closer to the state of my mind.
The Oni saw how I stood up, he was sure that I had died, he noticed how I touched my wound and used blood to close it all, blood magic was even more effective than healing magic for me because of my Physique.
"You can use Blood Magic…? Are you a Vampire?" he asked while vomiting blood again, his entire body slowly started to glow with red energy, covering the wounds, he was trying to heal himself.
I cannot let him do that. I completely ignored his question, as I had no time to speak with someone that was about to die, and I moved forward relentlessly.
"My lord! Are you okay?!" asked Eleanora through telepathy.
"I am good, I will distract him some more. The hunters will assist me, you wait for the right moment and then… chop his head right off." I told her.
"Understood… I trust you!" said Eleanora through telepathy.
Our bond that has been forged for thousands of years cannot be broken, our mutual trust is as unwavering as my mind, and if I tell her to trust me, she\'ll trust me. I know she resisted the urge of saving me when I was hit, but it is the pain I have to bear for our plan to work.
It is a simple plan after all, nothing too complicated. We are just going to abuse Eleanora\'s Assassination Skill and wait for the perfect opportunity for her to show up behind the demon and chop his head right off, killing him instantly.
After all, there are two ways to kill a demon, even destroying their heart won\'t do, there are only two ways, hitting them in the head, beheading or splattering their brains in the floor, and the other is by destroying the demonic core they have, which will break them from the inside out, and it is the real equivalent to a heart for them, while their normal heart doesn\'t seem to matter if its destroyed, as they are even capable of regrowing one and live for several hours without one until they regenerate a new heart.
Demons are supernatural beings from another dimension after all, created by the Fallen Archangel Lucifer, their supernatural abilities are akin to those of Vampires or even greater as they raise in the Ranks as Demons. Supernatural reflexes, speed, strength, regeneration of limbs, bones, internal organs, and more is all possible, the only true way to kill them is by the two methods I said.
If you only cut their arms and legs, they\'ll eventually regenerate and attack you again, relentless like cockroaches if not even more vile and annoying to kill, and with a sense of cooperation that makes them hard to deal with, they value comrades and bonds, like humans, which make them resentful, they are intelligent like humans too, which make them able to adapt easily.
They are a plague that could easily conquer the entire Universe, and that\'s exactly what Lucifer has been doing this entire time, and why we were trying to stop him, aside from just trying to find a challenge, there was a duty I had to kill this bastard.
Even in this peaceful world he\'s already infecting it with his malice and his demons, and who knows how many worlds have succumbed already…
This blue-skinned Oni is but a steppingstone in the middle of my path, there will be even stronger demons ahead of my path, I cannot falter nor waver against this obstacle, or I might never be able to reach my goals and fulfill my duty, the new duty I have given to myself.
"So you\'re coming to me already…! You relentless brat…! Hahaha… I like your attitude, I like those eyes…! Show me… show me what humans are all about!" laughed the Oni, as he swung his club several times against me. Using a combination of various tier 1 spells and Shadow Sneak, I evaded swiftly while meddling with his shadow and them emerging out of it constantly, Wind Burst gave me the short burst in speed I needed while Metabolism Acceleration enhanced all my senses and even my total strength.
"FIGHT!!!" I roared to the Hunters, as they quickly were led by Gradus, and pointed their spears at the demon while I distracted him with my evasion and my spear, his hits were strong and sometimes I wasn\'t able to evade in time, having to defend against him using Gluttony.
CLAAASH!
"Unngh…!"
Gluttony was good at intercepting blows, but I didn\'t knew if it could last such strong attacks, it was already showing some cracks on its body.
The other Hunters began to attack the Demon while he was concentrated on me, they innately learned how to cover their spears with their recently awakened Qi and began to pierce through the Oni\'s back and arms while I kept him busy.
He tried to attack them several times, but I stopped him and made him look towards me if he didn\'t wanted to have his chest pierced by my spear.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Unnngh…! You damn cockroaches! You dare interrupt my glorious battle…!" groaned the Oni while gritting his teeth, he attempted to attack the four Hunters aiding me, but I quickly pierced his arm with Gluttony and made it blow up into pieces by infusing Qi inside until it exploded like a balloon.
BOOOM!
"AAAGH…!"
"Where are you looking at?" I asked.
