Pov Athena:
I can’t believe I was almost killed by someone who should have been dead after my last attack.
“Did you think it would be that easy to kill me? Do you think I would let my revenge and plans be affected by something like dying?” (Gregory Roux)
“Shut up!” (I)
“< Corrosive Gloss >” (I)
I apply a spell to my sword at the same time as I activate a sword skill that creates a double-sized sword around it made of light.
The magic I used on the sword transforms the sword’s light into something poisonous that will penetrate the body burning from the inside out, this is an elemental poison type magic, there are thousands of variations of this magic for each element, but I chose to learn this one in the past on my sister’s advice.
“< Demonic Corruption >” (Gregory Roux)
A black and red energy comes out of Gregory’s deformed body, this energy seems to draw a black pattern on his body as his skin turns blue and his horns get even bigger.
I recognize this magic, it is a forbidden magic that only the Demon race can use, they use all their demonic energy and part of their vitality to perfect the body permanently.
This magic lowers the lifespan of the one who uses it while affecting the mind, demonic energy is wild, this kind of aggressive energy can make someone like a Berserk who only wants to destroy everything.
Gregory Roux’s already grotesque appearance becomes even more unsettling now, his eye turning completely red like a monster’s.
I, the magic circle that appeared under it had such a sinister energy that I couldn’t get close, it was as if my body didn’t want me to approach that energy.
“(Come on, move your idiot body!)” (I)
With great willpower, I try as hard as I can to make my body move in Gregory’s direction, but I’m still having a hard time with that body suddenly becoming rigid.
I use my big sword of light to cut the enemy, unhappy I put my arm in front defending my attack.
There was a layer of red energy around his body, this defense tried to defend, but I was even stronger managing to get through his defense and leave a cut on his arm, unfortunately, it was a shallow wound as my blow lost almost all its power gone to that layer of protection around his body.
I don’t stop my attack, I take advantage of the swinging motion of the sword to give me momentum as I do a spinning kick to his head.
He grabs my leg with one of the tentacles and throws me up, I let myself be thrown up to spin in the air and try to cut him from top to bottom, but during my spin in the air, I see him opening his mouth dangerously.
I use my wings to push backwards, escaping a shower of acid in my direction.
With my impulse, I moved away from Gregory, but I wasted no time, I was already casting a spell that took a few seconds to finish.
“< Prison of Light: Restrict >” (I)
Soon streams of light appear from two magic circles, one below and one above Gregory, the chains trap him faster than he can react, then a box full of thorns inside closes around him.
But before I deal a final blow to him, I grip my sword tighter and throw it straight behind me, my sword snaps off the head of a woman whose insect eyes that were invisible before being hit.
“Caution!” (Angela)
“Huh!?” (I)
“< Mana Barrier >” (I)
With no time to react or understand where the danger was that Angela warned me from, I use basic but effective defense magic creating a sphere of defense around me.
When the barrier was hit multiple times by arrows of Demonic power I lost almost half of my mana, when I look in the direction these arrows came from, I see the prison of light broken with tentacles coming out of there.
Soon Gregory breaks free with wounds all over his body, but the wounds begin to heal quickly. .
“< Demonic Summoning: Fire Demons >” (Gregory)
Gregory uses his own blood to summon Demon-type monsters, they are creatures that normally only appear in Dungeons and have similarities with the Demon race, but they are cruel and brutal beings discharged by their evil instincts, the vast majority of them have little intelligence and those with intelligence are extremely dangerous.
The ones Gregory was summoning had red skin and hair like fire, golden eyes, 2 horns on the side of their head, a long tail with a flame at the tip, and wings with black scales.
“Kill her!” (Gregory Roux)
I remove my Mana Barrier and extend my palm in the direction my sword was thrown, so my sword goes straight back into my hand.
I run towards these 5 Fire Demons that have been summoned, I can’t let them attack first and I’ve already lost half my mana with the previous attack, so now I’ll just use my sword for these weaker enemies.
I run towards the closest one and cut her head off with my sword, but her body bursts into flames that slam into my light armor doing nothing to me.
After that I run towards the other 4, I dodge a breath attack and a fire claw attack, then I parry an explosive punch with my sword cutting the attacker’s fist and using my wing to hit one over the head making him miss the attack.
When I was ready to make an attack, I was forced to dodge dozens of red blades that came flying towards me, I’ve been doing my best not to lose Gregory Roux from my vision, that’s just why I managed to defend myself from these attacks.
That moment gave a gap that the Fire Demons took advantage of to make their attacks, I had no way to defend myself, so I take advantage of this great fire attack to hide myself while I follow the direction of the flames to where Gregory was.
My light armor protected me, but so did my own resistance to the fire element that had been trained for years.
“This time you stay dead.” (I)
