Blake moved swiftly forward, commanding his Fenrir to circle around the Imps and the Gray Wolves tamed by them, the black wolves, as the knights called them, easily tore apart the foes one by one. Their coordination was superb and their movements swift and precise, this was thanks to their increased stats after becoming G-Rank monsters from H-Rank, the difference in stats was very notorious. However, another thing also helped, the strong howl of the alpha Fenrir was able to paralyze the foes… and the knights as well. This only made it easy for Blake and his wolves to take down the demons and monsters.
The black wolves easily evaded most lethal attacks, and although some of them took a few hits from the Imps spears and arrows, they managed to survive and defeat all the small fry in a matter of seconds. Of course, Blake was not going to bother with them, if his summoned spirit beasts could take them down just fine with just a bit of damage inflicted upon them, the only one he had to care for was the big wild boar and the Oni mounting it.
Blake quickly ordered the three Orcus to surround the big wild boar that was leading the other gray wolves with the Oni on top, all while the Spores sitting over two of the Orcus immediately began to spray clouds of poisonous spores over the enormous wild boar, which was slightly paralyzed by Fenrir’s Dark Howl.
“W-What the? Who are you?!” The Oni mounting the giant Wild Boar couldn’t help but ask, as he looked at Blake and Eleanora angrily, trying to decipher their faces but finding out they were wearing metallic masks covered in the blood of demons, an act of profanity to their culture, these were monsters he had to slay!
“A red Oni, he looks weaker than the Blue Oni of the other time.” Said Eleanora.
“Yeah, let’s quickly slay him.” Said Blake.
“B-Blue Oni?! You’re talking about my brother- Cough! Ungh… t-this poisonous cloud is even affecting me, a demon?!”
The Red Oni was a man with little patience and lack of common sense, above all, he was a fool. A conceited demon that was born strong and evolved to become even stronger, his brother was slain some time ago, and since then he had been wanting to avenge him, this is why he had been setting up such a plan to kill this large group of knights. Although he was already about to succeed, having killed their general and over half their group, now he was greeted by two children and a large group of strange monsters.
“GRUUOOH!”
The three Orcus charged forward, they were half the size of the enormous wild boar, but the three were big and strong enough to attack it from all sides and knock it off balance. The enormous wild boar fell to the side, throwing the Oni on top into the ground.
BOOM!
“Demon Flames!” The Red Oni desperately roared, as he conjured several fireballs made out of demon magic and fired them against Blake and Eleanora.
Eleanora jumped forward, swiftly waving her spear and unleashing a strong slash overcharged with her Aether and Mana from Blake, the strong slash destroyed most of the fireballs, hitting the Oni in the chest and leaving a deep wound. The demon quickly rolled through the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
“How weak! We have truly become stronger than back then…” Said Eleanora.
“Well, the other spirit beasts helped. Spore proved to be very useful…” Said Blake. He immediately noticed that Spore had poisoned the Oni so severely that his muscles were getting constantly paralyzed, he was losing blood internally, and his mind was dizzy.
The best way to defeat strong foes was by weakening them first, this was a golden rule that Blake often used on his previous life. Now that he finally had the means to weaken them with Spore, he was going to use this power to his heart’s content.
“Y-You bastards… I won’t go down without a proper fight!!!” The Red Oni roared. His entire body exuded a strong Demonic Aura, shaping itself and materializing into a red armor! Blake immediately recognized this power as “Demon Magic Armor”, it was a special ability that certain high-ranked demons could randomly have. It allowed them to materialize their demon energy into armors to protect their bodies. It even came with the ability to also materialize the demon energy into weapons.
FLASH!
A large longsword was summoned by the demon, materialized out of the rich demon energy he had. He moved forward as he swung his enormous blade strongly, clashing against Eleanora as the two unleashed strong shockwaves. Their power was almost equal, but the Oni didn’t count Blake to be mixed into the fight. The boy swiftly moved behind the Red Oni using the speed of Fenrir, pointing Gluttony into the demon, and jumping upwards, falling into the Oni’s body while Eleanora kept him busy. He used the classic Dragoon Knight Spear Technique!
“Dragon Spear Meteor!”
CLASH!
Blake coated his spear with his Mana and Qi, unleashing an explosive and piercing attack by falling from a high distance by pointing his spear downward! He missed the head, piercing through the demon’s left shoulder all the way down, tearing his left arm and also part of his ribs and left leg instead.
“AAAGGH!”
The Red Oni cried in agony; he was completely surprised by Blake. The young boy was able to pierce through his strong armor and sliced through almost half of his body!
“You bastard!”
The Red Oni was about to furiously attack Blake, but Eleanora was there and reacted faster, unleashing her strongest attack, her spear moved like a guillotine, chopping off the Oni’s remaining arm and then the ankles of his legs, putting him down into the ground in an instant!
SLASH!
BOOM!
“Gyyaagggh…!”
The Red Oni was crying pitifully, and Blake immediately decided to mercilessly finish him off so he wouldn’t be bothered anymore. His spear quickly reached the demon’s neck, slicing it thinly, like a warm knife going through butter.
SLASH!
It was done.
Blake assessed the battlefield, there were only corpses and… a group of trembling knights.
