After feeling the power that was brimming inside him, he arched his eyebrow and looked towards the two Demon Baron before stating. "After all that bark, is this all you have got?", he shook his head and commented "pathetic".
If it was before his rank increased, Simon definitely wouldn't have chosen to take the attack head-on and would have instead tried to dodge it. However, what Simon didn't know was that even a Demon Viscount wouldn't have taken the attack lightly, his rank up was clearly unusual and the ridiculous increase in his power after was even more so.
Simon spread his wings to their limit "Very well then, I believe it is my turn now" utilising his improved skill [High-Speed Flight] his body disappeared just as his voice rang out. Leaving behind a sonic boom in his wake, he quickly covered the distance between them. A whistling sound could be heard as his huge bat-like wings pierced through the wind barrier.
WHOOSH...
Mike who couldn't believe what he saw said in a fluster "What… You…how did you... burgh" but before he could even complete his sentence, he was punched in the guts and was sent flying into the marsh with a bang. His eyes failed to register the insane speed at which Simon moved and he didn't even know how he got attacked before everything started spinning and he smashed into the marsh.
Berd who was still in a daze after seeing their combined attack failed to even scratch their target, couldn't comprehend how Simon had appeared in front of them like a ghost. His irises contracted to their limit after seeing that Simon was already upon him.
Time seemed to halt to a crawl as he looked on with wide eyes as Simon's foot came smashing down on his face. CRACK... A crack sound was heard as the foot caved on his face and sent him plummeting into the ground. His nasal cavity was smashed and blood continuously trickled down from it.
SPLASH... SPLASH...
Two shadows smashed into the marsh at a rapid speed and displaced large volumes of mud and water that had been dyed crimson with blood into the air.
After sending the two of them flying, Simon flashed a cheeky smile and without giving them a moment of respite, he shot towards the two of them again.
"Bfffft… uwwargh. Huff huff… what just happened" coming out of the water, Mike looked around as he asked. The clash a moment ago was so fast that his brain failed to comprehend what happened as shock and disbelief was plastered on his face.
"Blurgh… urgh" a sound came from near him as he hurriedly turned towards it and saw Berd holding his face which had caved in, blood was spilling from all of his orifices.
"W-What Berd are you alright?" Mike was just about to fly over when he saw Simon shooting towards them at an unbelievable speed from the corner of his eyes.
"You, what are planni… gugh" without even getting to complete his sentence, his face was squarely grabbed by Simon and flung around like a sack of potatoes. From the edges of his vision, Mike saw the demon he had been underestimating all along, flashing a wicked smile while baring his fangs. Simon had an expression of absolute joy as he felt the power surging through every corner of his body.
He grabbed Mike's face with his palm and flung him towards Berd who was still lurching in pain from the kick he delivered earlier. BANG… CREAK... a muffled sound rang out as the two were blasted to the side.
Painful noises and wailing sounds rang out across the whole floor as the two of them reeled in pain.
Mike was holding his head as he screamed out loud "Aarrgghh". His head was bleeding and was in so much pain that it felt as if someone had cracked his skull open. Touching behind his head, he could feel that something was wedged inside his skull as blood continuously came out of it.
On the other hand, Berd's face which got caved quite a lot after getting kicked in the face deformed even more after getting smashed by Mike's head.
His front teeth were all missing and right now his face was in so much pain that he wanted to curse out loud but what came out of his mouth were instead his remaining teeth and blood.
Simon did not give them any time to collect themselves. After sending them flying to the side, he opened his inventory and brought the Crimson Blazing Flame Blade out. A two meter long and three inches wide piercing scarlet blade appeared as if tearing through the fragment of space and landed on his hand.
The moment the blade appeared all the eyes present inside the floor gathered onto it as a blazing heat so powerful that it could even scorch one's soul, radiated out of it. "W-what is that sword?" Gelgar asked in a trembling voice, even the scattered heat emitting out of the sword was enough to make his soul shudder.
Holding the sword in his hand, Simon felt his stats rising drastically from the buff provided by it. The sword bestowed an additional +600 to all his stats and +1000 to magic added to his increased stats after the rank up, Simon felt invincible.
Feeling the power rising in his body, he drew the sword and brandished it in a full swing towards the dumbfounded duo. The crimson blade of the sword lit up in a piercing light that was so blinding that the very floor brightened for a second and wherever the blade passed through, a crimson line would be left behind as if slashing through space itself. if one looked carefully they would be able to see the very fragment of space was scorched in a straight line.
Mike and Berd looked on with their wide-open eyes as the crimson sword drew an arc across their body making a neat line. Everything happened in a few seconds and the beautiful light of the blade was forever imprinted in their memories.
