Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Target!

Abigail brandished her sword in Its direction and a stroke of lightning thundered out of her petite moon sword, a line of 100 feet long and 5 feet wide blasted out in the direction of the shape-shifter. 

Marvin felt shocked when he saw it, "Lightning bolt? She is so young yet has attained rank 8 as a lightning Ability user! She is probably using a demonic method to increase her magic power or she is super rich!"

Lightning was considered a legendary attribute, and it was hard for awakened to train such an attribute. An Ability user with legendary attribute was powerful, but this power came with a down effect. They had to train madly every day because it was hard for them to increase their magic power.

Most Ability Users uses an auxiliary or demonic method to increase their magic power. The auxiliary methods that can be used to increase magic power cost a lot to buy, a hell lot more than Skill Books. Demonic methods were cheap as they were openly sold on the black market.

Marvin silently gazed at the ongoing battle.

In response to Abigail's attack, the shape-shifting demon grotesque body leaned forward and Its legs bent. Just like a tiger, It jumped away from the steel railing and evaded the lighting bolt.

The force behind Its leap was so explosive that It jumped thirty meters into the air, heading towards the roof of the building where Abigail stood!

"Little girl, get ready to die!" It shouts

Abigail motioned her free hand and lightning bolts shot towards the demon-shifter, who was already fifteen meters away.

Subsequently, bone wings spanning 3-meters burst out from the demon's back.

Just as the bolts were about to hit, It dodged to the right with the flap of its strong wings.

The demon shifter would become a mess if his reactions were not keen!

It was angry!

Winds waves generated as it rushed forward once more, after avoiding the lightning bolt.

This time, wind waves are generated because of Its bone wing force, waves that scattered the other two lightning bolts.

Instantly, in a fraction of a second, It whisked towards Abigail and punched out. The punch was directed at her waist, and she evaded it by twisting in a way that Marvin has never seen. The building behind her wasn't as lucky, and half of the roof cracked under the pressure generated by the Battle Force.

The Shape-shifting demon clawed at her while Abigail used her sword to deflect Its attack, again and again, this scenario played as two beings, one human and the other demon, danced gracefully and demonically under the dazzling moonlight.

The shattered part of the building dropped on the alleyways, almost immediately, a viewer's life was endangered. Just as some of the rocks were gonna crush him, Marvin dodged with a desperate jump, stood up, and rushed ahead while mustering all the strength he could.

"Her waist is really flexible!" Marvin was impressed by her flexibility and some dirty thoughts popped up in his mind as he ran out of the dark alleyway upon which huge slabs of rocks dropped.

Abigail wasn't only sexy and beautiful, but her moves were graceful and seductive at the same time. Also, her flexible body will be able to endure a lot of different and difficult extraneous activities. As a man, Marvin wasn't gonna deny her beauty and innate charm. If luck would allow it, he wouldn't mind sleeping with her.

'System, can I use time halt on the shape-shifting demon?' He asked the system.

[Yes, but its rank is way higher than you. You will suffer a backlash for halting its time]

Hurriedly, Marvin inquired, "Tell me, how bad of a backlash will it be?"

[The shape-shifter is at the 10th rank. Its power level is around 50. If you halt its time, at most, you will suffer a painful blow to your brain] It said.

Marvin has suffered a lot worse than merely falling unconscious. He had been beaten black and blue for not following the rules a weak freshman should have. He had been bullied for the past six years. At first, ever since his father died, people would call him an orphan, even though his mother was still alive. When he fought back, they would gang upon him. Day by day, the bullying got worse, one time, he nearly died!

So, how painful can a blow to his brain be?

'It probably won't be as painful as my past!' he thought with a head lowered in melancholy, but his footstep didn't stop nor did the strength utilized for each footstep decreased.

He was dashing to a safe place. 'I will for a suitable moment to halt Its time as I can only halt Its time for ten seconds!" or so he thought when suddenly his fine-hair stood on end and a dreadful feeling called death crept up his heart!

While Marvin was rushing towards the nearby alleyway, suddenly, a bone tail appeared within his vision. It covered the area in front, and its sharp end was moving towards him!

As usual, the demon decides to attack the weak trash that would die if the hero doesn't protect him.

"Finally, showing your shameless behavior, shape-shifter!" Abigail revealed an indifferent smile. Unsheathing her moon Sword, Abigail activates her greatest movement skill, Flame & Lightning Wings!

In the blink of an eye, she appears in front of Marvin and uses her sword to greet the bone-tail.

"As expected, you choose to save the kid, but that's no good. Hehehe, how long will you be able to protect him?" the demon said as its infernal eyes disdainfully glared down at Marvin.

Abigail knew that it was foolish to save another person when facing a demon, but as she saw Marvin nearly dying she wanted to save his life.

"A bystander dying because of my actions? I would never allow it!" she righteously said.

"Did you think that you would be able to continuously save his life? Let's see how you save him, shall we!" Two bone-tails were just shot towards Marvin, who has been silent this whole time, but internally, he is boiling with rage!

Right this moment, Abigail's head shifted. She waved her moon sword, generating a streak of thundering lightning, and deflected the attack, but a third tail sneaked from under the ground and slightly impaled into her shoulder when she waved her sword to deflect the bone-tail!

"Kuach!" Blood seeped out from the flesh wound as she gritted her sparkling white teeth to bear the pain, but the drops of tears threatening to drop out of her eyes showed it all

She tilts her back slightly towards the side and gazes at Marvin. She whispers, "Run away from here. I will hold back the demon!"

"Run away?" Marvin grins while shaking his head left and right.
