Black sludge started to flow out of his chest and crawled all over his body. His upper body was now filled with the black sludge as it slowly solidified into a reddish-black armor. More sludge came out and formed a thin layer of black sheet that positioned itself on Ligi's neck creating a cape. Then more emerged from his chest as it crept onto his neck and enveloped his head. It formed a mean faced demon with its jaws opened wide revealing Ligi's head.
His aura instantly changed as an aura of death filled the area. Blair's black umbrella disappeared and even the injury it had made instantly vanished and replaced by a black sludge that prevented more blood from flowing out.
Blair instantly felt the change in Ligi as she almost took a step back out of fear and surprise. Never in a million years would she have thought that Ligi would survive her surprise attack and even transform into something so monstrous. Her face distorted as she saw the mean face of the demon Ligi wore as a helmet.
Even the man in the middle showed a face of surprise as he subconsciously grabbed his chain in self-defense. He did not like the aura that was emanating from Ligi. Even though it was minuscule, the quality of deathly aura was alarming, to say the least.
Bodt immediately stepped forward and faced the man in the middle. In his eyes were seriousness and anxiety. He was a no-nonsense kind of guy that deals with problems the most direct way.
"Isiah, let me help Blair. This is becoming dangerous."
"No. Let's wait and see."
The man in the middle named Isiah rejected Bodt's suggestion. Isiah's instincts told him that Ligi's demonic form was not all what it seemed. He needed more intel if he was to deal with Ligi.
Isiah's eyes were locked onto Ligi. In all the years of his life living inside the upper echelons of the Suno town, he had never heard of a person having two powers. Ligi's power was clearly his shield that could reflect damage put upon it. The demonic form was clearly different as even the shield disappeared as the demonic form took shape. There was clearly something abnormal happening here which made him greatly suspicious.
Blair held her umbrella tightly, not because of anger but because of wariness. The demonic form of Ligi gave her the creeps that she could not hold a candle against. She felt her hairs stood on end as she saw him standing up.
Ligi stood up without a problem, almost floating as he stood up without so much strain from his legs. He looked towards Blair and walked in the ground without leaving any footsteps
His cape unraveled revealing black wings that created wind currents as it flapped. Ligi started to levitate from the ground creating an intimidating feeling to everyone who saw him. From the demon in Ligi's head, a violet ball started to form as it absorbed the air around it.
The violet ball grew into bugger and bigger sizes as it soaked up every particle and debris in the ground. Blair started to feel her feet skid in the ground. Her hair flailed around wildly like snakes brewing on a pot. She had to use her umbrella as a cane to try and hold her footing.
Bodt's feet were firmly in the ground, indenting the soil around it but he did not move an inch. It was the same for Isiah who did not look perturbed, even the hair on his head was undamaged due to the geo he applied on it.
"Ferali Effusio"
Ligi muttered under his breath as the intensity of the violet ball multiplied making Blair lode her footing. The umbrella that was pierced in the ground started to give way creating a line in the ground towards Ligi.
She held on to her umbrella and opened it against Ligi to try and slow her acceleration towards the violet ball. As a last resort, black powder flowed out from her waist and formed into a black teacup filled with black powder.
She used the violet ball's suction to launch the black powder inside the teacup. It flowed out of her teacup and followed the currents of the wind towards the violet ball in between the horns of the demon.
It gathered into a thin line and pierced towards the violet ball. The collision created sparks as the black powder tried to overwhelm the violet ball by filling it with its own power and slowing down the inner revolutions that created the vortexes.
The violet ball ultimately won the duel as it absorbed the black powder, making it obsolete. The black powder was gone completely and only the violet ball remained.
As the violet ball absorbed the black powder, Blair felt a stronger suction force that forced her to fly in the air towards Ligi who was floating in the air. Her legs flailed around in the air trying whatever she could to resist the power.
Ligi used this opportunity to gather all the strength in his fist as he balled it up. He reared his arm and punched Blair's face as she flew towards him.
She felt a sudden force that made her head spin to the right. She accidentally bit her mouth as the punch hit her, making blood fill her mouth. The punch's force made her launch away from Ligi but because of the violet ball, she was forced back towards Ligi.
She was like a ball on a string. Ligi would punch her away but a suction force always brings her back, creating a never-ending loop of her getting punched all over her body. Her face deformed into a frown as her beautiful face was being desecrated into a bloody pulp.
She gathered strength in her arms and created her black umbrella. She was launched away from Ligi due to his punch but she was now being pulled back in due to the violet ball.
She used this chance to extend her umbrella forwards and piercing towards Ligi's chest. She twisted the umbrella creating a greater penetrating force but her umbrella unexpectedly went towards Ligi's head.
The black umbrella was forced to change its trajectory towards Ligi's head, towards the violet ball. The black umbrella collided with the violet ball and it created a dent in it. This gave Blair hope but her black umbrella lost its integrity under the violet umbrella's force.
The black umbrella disintegrated into black powder which the violet ball absorbed into its vortex. Her hope was crushed as she felt another punch in her abdomen that launched her as she almost lost consciousness.
Ligi reared another punch as Blair was once again sucked towards him. The world seemed to be in slow motion as he saw a black powder materialize next to her as it enveloped her into a sphere with spikes around it.
Ligi deactivated his skill as the spikes would surely damage his own knuckles from punching it. The black sphere formed a chain from one of its chains and extended it to the ground, towards Bodt's arms. The black sphere was now a fully giant flail.
Bodt retracted the handle of the flail which made the sphere containing Blair launch away from Ligi and towards him. His thick muscles allowed him to wield the giant flail like it was miniature.
The chains in the flail started to shorten into a smaller leash as Bodt rotated the flail in the air. The air around them tightened as they could feel shockwaves from every revolution from the flail.
Bodt's muscles constricted as he launched the flail towards Ligi. Ligi dodged away from the trajectory of the flail using his wings to fly to a safer place. The flail was not fast but extremely slow. The way it accelerated was not in accordance with the way it flew up in the air. This meant that the flail was flying through magic, not the physical prowess of Bodt.
Ligi dodged the flail but it seemed to follow his movements. The flail floated in the air without any rotations yet the spikes were so sharp that it did not matter.
The flail flew towards Ligi like a homing missile but Ligi was able to dodge it. He dodged it but something came out of the flail. A spike from it elongated and created a hole inside. The spike became a familiar shape as a hand came out of the flail.
The spike turned into an umbrella and Blair came out of the flail with speed and determination. Blair flew through the air and towards Ligi on his right. The ball came and attacked Ligi to his left.
The attack was too fast as Ligi had to flap his wings even harder to try and maneuver out of the line of fire. The flail and the umbrella cornered Ligi so he had no way out except to tank the attack.
