Damien closed the distance between himself and the demon in less than three minutes, his form a blur as he sped forward.
Clang!
Bang!
Via gone sword clashed against the demons spikes again but this time, the force behind Damien’s attack was multiplied. “Heh! That’s just about right for you I guess.”
It was almost as though he was using the demon to gauge his strength and how far he’d come since his arrival and it was working.
Clang!
Damien’s sword descended upon the demon once again creating the familiar metallic sound Damien was already familiar with. However, there was a subtle change this time.
It wasn’t a change that affected the demon itself but rather its spike. Damien’s sword hand created a small dent in the spike but the demon seemed unaware that there now existed a chip in its weapon.
‘It doesn’t know or else it would’ve changed weapons.’
Damien concluded but he wasn’t the least bit bothered about it. It wasn’t his job to inform the demon of its weapon’s declined durability.
Clang!
Holding the sword with his left rather than his right, Damien spun right, the force of the spin amplifying the slash he used o attack the demon from its own right and this time, the collision between weapon’s sent a spark flying.
‘Are they really just as hard as iron or are hey iron asll well?’
The demon had blockedthe attack from Damien that was aimed at hits ribcage but it also didn’t expect that a second attack would be received.
With his right hand being free, Damien folded his palm into a fist and gathered as much energy as he could from within himself, preparing for an attack that he anticipated would do a lot of damage to the demon.
Boom!
Crack!
Krraakooooom…
Damien watched the demon was raided off the ground, its legs raised into the air by the force of the attack. The demon sped backwards through the air until its back slammed against a thick tree in the distance, tearing the tree in two.
The demon spat out dark crimson red blood as it fell to the ground. It weakly raised its head toward Damien and shot him and murderous glare before slowly rising to its feet once again. The claws on its legs dug into the and it snapped its head backward again.
Kaaaaareeeeeii!
Kaaaaareeeeeii!
It cried out again and this time, it wasn’t just once.
Kaareeeei!
There was another screech but this time, it wasn’t his opponent’s screeching. The sound came from faraway and the next screech was even louder.
Kaaareeeeei
It dawned on Damien. This creature was cringe out for backup while he simply thought it was a cry before battle. “Backstabbing creatures. I faced you fair and square and now you’re calling for back up? Let them come.” Damien clicked his tongue.
“I’ll just deal with them as well but you won’t live to see it.” Damien’s grip on his sword tightened like rope being knotted for a second time.
The demon seemed to notice the malice in Damien’s words and it sensed its own end was drawing near. It opened its mouth to cry out again and as it head snapped back for the cry, Damien moved.
Swooosh…
“You sly bastard! Have you no honor?” Damien asked even though he was very much aware that his words could not be comprehended by the demon. It was just a way to vent out his frustration for being naive when fighting against he demon.

Because this one has done a decent job in close combat, Damien seemed to have forgotten that these creatures almost never fought alone. Once they sensed they were in danger, they would release a cry to alert the others who would come to its rescue and in an area filled with demons, Damien understood the implications of the cry.
Kaaareeei!
Another cry echoed from a different direction and Damien immediately knew the demon had succeeded in calling multiple backups. He needed to deal with it before the others arives and he needed to deal with it fast.
Damien arrived by the side of.the demon and went below to avoid the cross slash of the demon’s claw in a desperate attack to defend itself from Damien. At least until it’s allied returned.
It failed.
Bang!
As Damien rose after evading the slash, he attacked with a power packed lunch that slammed into the chest of the demon.
The power behind the blow wanted to throw the demon into the distance once again but Damien quickly let go of his sword and instead grabbed on the shoulder of the demon to prevent it from being thrown off.
His grip on the demons shoulder tightened and without delay, another blow dug into its chest.
Bang!
Crack!
After the blow connected, there was a sound that Damien also knew too well. The sound of bone breaking.
There was a dent on the demon’s chest as a result of the second punch which had been heavier than the first.
However, Damien wasn’t finished.
Bang!
There was a third blow.
Crack!
Then a fourth and a fifth! freewёbnoνel.com
Bang! Bang!
All of them landing on the exam same spot as the dent on the demon’s chest deepened further with each blow.
Thud!
The demon went on its knees, unable to withstand another as blood trickled down its mouth. Unknown to Damien, one of his blows had caused a broken bone to impale the demon’s heart which led it to begin bleeding internally. Even if he knew, Damien wouldn’t care. This creature also wouldn’t care for him if the tables had been turned.
Kaareeeei!
The cries from the other demons approaching was getting louder and Damien knew it was time.
Damien picked his bone sword and just as he was about to deliver the final blow, the spikes on the demon’s head shot out in all directions like arrows leaving their respective bows.
Damien was forced to leap backward to avoid one particular spike aimed at his eye.
Kaaareeeeei!!
The demon I’m front of him screeched one last time giving away it’s location to the others who were undoubtedly closer than ever.
“Shit!” Damien grinded his teeth as he sped forward, closing the distance in an instant.
The demon opened its mouth to screech again but it was too late.
Swissssh!
The sound never came as Damien’s sword separated the demon’s head from its neck.
