Chereads / How To Be A Great Demon / Chapter 17 - The Power In Our Hearts

Chapter 17 - The Power In Our Hearts

Knightmare has transformed using the devil's technique. Which is a skill all Demons posses. If they are in desperate situation, or about to be killed, they use the Devil's technique to increase their strength and power tenfold. But the technique will eventually lead to the demise of the Demon, and so it is a last resort move.

Knighmare still looked like a Black knight, but a monstrous one at that. With sharp spikes and spines surrounding his body, he rushes towards Leon Chronos, and with his newfound speed and strength, he is finally able to land a hit on him.

Leon is punched in the gut and is launched into the air, but he manages to land on his feet. Knightmare continues his onslaught, landing several hits against the Elite Mage, and is slowly gaining the advantage.

Meanwhile Mistress Copy has also been transformed. Her new form is a tall and slender, with an intimidating presence. Using her new strength, she begins to rebuild the damaged Soultakers, their parts merging together to become one giant entity.

Mistress Copy: Destroy them all. So commands your Empress, Copy. (Copy proclaims herself)

Leon Chronos continues to fight the new and improved Knightmare, but he's losing badly. The Knightmare summons his Dark Blades once more, but this time their on fire, and are fast enough to cut Leon on several parts of his body.

Exhausted, Leon falls to his knees, and the Knigtmare now towered over him.

Knightmare: You fought well, human. But this is the end for you... Die! (Knightmare declares as his fiery blades dart towards Leon, intending to kill him on the spot)

Then they suddenly stop mid air, due to an unknown force. Knightmare then tried to move his body, but is now unable to, all he could do was think and feel, but his body and everything else was frozen.

Knightmare: What is the meaning of this! (Knightmare manages to yell, but is still unable to move)

Leon Chronos: This is the work of, EON. My true power, It allows me to fully manipulate the flow of time around me. But using it on this scale is quite tasking, so let's end this quick. (Leon said as he summoned his Time Staff, which was a glowing green staff of energy)

Leon tightens his grip on the staff, and with one strike of the powerful weapon. The Knightmare explodes due to the tremendous force of the impact.

Leon's injuries instantly begin to heal as he stares into the distance, with something troubling on his mind. The sound of Leon's attack is heard across the battlefield, and Gwenevier and Perfect both know what it means, they have to finish their fights.

Gwenevier uses Unstoppable Force technique, which is a power she gains by gathering magical energy to increase her power and strength even further. She then tackles the giant Soultaker, with such ferocity that it breaks into pieces instantly.

The debris flies toward Empress Copy, forcing her to create a forcefield to protect herself. But in an instant Mr Perfect is before her, his sword burning bright as he prepares to attack.

Mr Perfect: Know this Empress, I'm no longer holding back! (Perfect yells as he uses his ultimate move, The Flawless Slash!.. Which cuts through the forcefield like butter, and hits Copy with enough energy to instantly incinerate her)

Finally the battle was over, and Leon Chronos appeared on the scene, exhausted from his fight with Knightmare.

Leon Chronos: Hey guys, good to see you have everything handled. (Leon said as casually looked around)

Gwenevier Topaz: Of course we did, not all of us are as lazy as you! (Gwenevier said, trying to hide her own exhaustion)

Mr Perfect: This was no victory for me. Depending on my full power to win a fight **(Scoffs)** Unacceptable. (Perfect said in displeasure)

Leon Chronos: Don't worry. You'll get another chance to redeem yourself. (Leon said with a look of seriousness on his face)

Mr Perfect: What do you mean? (Perfect asks)

Leon Chronos: They was a break in at the royal vault, and our piece of the Voidstone was stolen.

Gweneveir Topaz: But that means...

Mr Perfect: They are trying to bring back the Great Demons.
