Chapter 273: Something is Fishy [2]
Suddenly, a demonic scream echoed through the air. I reappeared behind one of the demons, the Sword of Sin slashing through the creature's form with ruthless precision.
-Spurt!
Dark energy erupted from the demon's wound as it crumpled to the ground, lifeless. The remaining demons, now aware of my location, turned their attention towards me.
Their initial calmness waned, replaced by a palpable tension. The Sword of Sin, stained with the essence of demonic life, beckoned for more.
"Die"
"You can't escape."
A split second after Lucas decapitated the demon, moving backwards, Lucas narrowingly avoided the hands of two demons as a strand of his hair flew in the air.
-Astral Dash
Tensing his calves he activated his movement art again, Lucas quickly shot backwards and distanced himself from the other demons. As he moved back, a green hue enveloped the bottom of his feet as his movement increased with every step.
"Get him!"
"Die you vermin!"
Staring at the Five demons that were quickly approaching him, Lucas's face remained calm. Rather than focusing on their attacks, his attention was drawn towards their face.
...and he soon noticed one thing. How completely unfazed they were by the fact that their comrades died before them. There was no shred of fear or hesitation in their eyes. Almost as if they didn't care about dying.
Noticing this, Lucas glanced in Yato's direction. He was currently back on the ground fighting against the demon leader.
The leader of the demon was attacking Yato with all his might but Yato effortlessly dodging, right now Yato didn't ever raise his sword to attack him. By the looks of Yato's face, Lucas knew that Yato was toying with that demon.
...And when Yato was finally bored by this he would kill the demon in one shot.
"Don't ignore us." One demon shouted as he saw Lucas wasn't even paying attention to them.
Demon slashed his claw at Lucas's direction.
-Thuaam!
-Spurt!
Dark energy sprayed from the wound as the demon staggered backwards, wounded but not defeated. The other demons, recognizing the shift in the tide of battle, abandoned their coordinated attacks and dispersed, each evaluating their next move.
The demon leader, engaged in combat with Yato, sensed the disturbance among his ranks. A glimmer of frustration crossed his demonic features as he struggled against Yato's seemingly effortless evasion.
Lucas, with a calculated expression, advanced towards the wounded demon. The battlefield now held an air of uncertainty, with each participant assessing the unfolding dynamics of the confrontation.
Amid the chaos, a voice echoed through the battleground. It was Yato, his words carrying a weight of authority.
"This ends now."
With those words, Yato's movements became more deliberate. Each step, each strike, held a purpose.
The leader of the demon gritted his teeth, he held his sword upward, above his head and slashed it at Yato's head.
However, the attack never met Yato's body.
-Swish!
"Huh? Where did he go?"
"Are you searching for me?"
Soon enough demon received his answer, turning his head back he saw Yato standing right behind his back.
"It was fun but I'm getting bored now. Also, I have to get my disciple back to the academy as his mid-exam will start tomorrow. So let's end this." Saying that Yato punched the Leader of a demon in its chest.
-Boom!
Everything exploded, the shockwave Yato punched went through the demon's body destroying everything on it.
On the other hand, the demon's body exploded into millions of pieces and the remnants of dark energy scattered across the battlefield. The shockwave rippled through the air, causing a momentary stillness as debris settled.
Yato, unruffled by the explosion, stood amidst the aftermath with an air of nonchalance. His gaze shifted towards Lucas, who was still in an idmist battle against a demon.
"Well, I think I should help him. It's getting let now." Saying that Yato disappeared and appeared before Lucas.
