Chapter 17 - Dreadful Demon(3)

Arm check, demon check, sword check, plan check. Everything is in motion; the only thing left to do is wait. It's time to enact vengeance. I rush for it as rapidly as I can. When the devil sees me approaching, he stares at me with scorn. I, on the other hand, choose to ignore it, knowing full well that it is pointless to be offended by a future corpse. With its fire explosion ability, the demon surged towards me, attempting to utilize it on me. I was able to effortlessly dodge to the side. Making sure that I am not within its fire aura range I begin rushing, making a gap of distance. Now all I am expecting is a fireball, which it delivered just now. The flaming ball of doom was hurtling toward me at breakneck speed. I, on the other hand, didn't bother to look at it; I just continued running. You might think it's stupid of me to do this, but after fighting the demon for a few days, I'm sure that statement isn't true. This fireball, in particular, has no effect on me since I am perfectly adapted to its movement. I don't need to see the ball of flames since I can use my heat sensors to detect it, allowing me to sidestep it perfectly. By this point, the fireball is barely five meters away from me, and it will only take a second before impact. With that, I took a side stride dodging it before I spun my body around, ready to finally begin fighting back against this overgrown red dog.

Quickly I ran toward it. My entrance into its flaming aura was swift and graceful. When the demon notices that I have entered its aura, it begins to release it while racing at me fiercely. Of course, I was not intimidated by this obnoxious piece of s*** and stepped up to the plate to face the challenge. The distance was two meters before it swiped its massive arm at me. I chose to avoid it because I was well aware of its superior strength to mine. I ducked out of the way of the hit. The demon, on the other hand, didn't wait for me to get out of my ducking position before attacking. It tried to slam me onto the ground with its other arm. The strike would have dealt significant damage to me if successful, but unfortunately did not because it compromised speed for damage. Using Crimson Light, I effortlessly slide to one side before slicing at its arm causing a deep wound to appear. The monster groans, then uses its second arm to slam me from the side with its other arm. I hop over its hand while cutting at its other arm with Crimson Light making another grievous wound. It takes me fifteen seconds to complete my two assaults at this point. While I am winning two to zero, to be on the safe side, I began to retreat from it zone.

It suffices to say that the devil would not allow me to flee after what I've done. In this way, it continues to pursue me but is unable to catch up with me because I am able to use various techniques to stagger its movement, such as changing directions when the demon's speed is at its highest, causing it to lose its acceleration, or running near rocks in order to cause the demon to have some imbalance, causing it to lose its acceleration. However, the most effective method is to hurl an object near the demon's eye, causing it to close its eyes, before changing course, leading the demon to run the wrong direction from me, this puts more space between myself and it.

As shown by my intensive analysis, I learned that the demon fire aura has a duration of one minute and a cooldown time of two minutes as well. If my calculations are correct, it should have come to an end by now. True to behold it didn't feel hot any more. I ran for it once more, this time without the threat of being fried alive. When the demon noticed me approaching, he gave me a grin that was almost smirk-like, as if he believed I was naive enough to forget about its explosive ability. It is essentially the opposite, because I am well aware of the telltale signs of everything's competence. The distance should be around five meters, and I am currently seven meters away from the object. I was within reaching distance in a single breath. The demons' eyes shone brightly with anticipation before fading with disappointment as it realized their mistake. That's because yours truly was able to simply bait that retarded demon, and I am going to inflict substantial damage. Suddenly, the demon fired a fireball at me from around three meters away. As much as I despise admitting it, I was taken completely by surprise. Boom! The flame ball struck my left hand, causing it to blow into smitterean, and my body flew fast into a tree that punctured my body through my belly, causing streams of blood to splatter the ground in the region around me.

I made a blundered decision, and now I'm paying the price for it. The anguish is excruciating, and my entire body is wailing out for relief. I, on the other hand, defy it. I can't exhibit any signs of weakness, not now and never again. Lockheart, it's time to rise up and fight on. Despite your efforts, you were unable to attain your objective. Do you want to die a coward? A dog who barks but does not bite. Are you going to do it? Keep fighting, keep fighting, and win for yourself. "Ahhh!!!" I roared at the top of my lungs before going towards the devil with all of my power and pride. I will not die. I shall demonstrate to this devil why I am right. Lockheart is the one above all, and I will not allow myself to be beaten by an insignificant red dog like that. I am going to win. I was destined to be victorious!!! The monster throws its right arm down at my body in an attempt to finish the kill, but I evade it with a dodge roll to the side. It then attacks with its other arm, which I dodge once again with a side jump. I take advantage of the situation and strike it with my right arm, chopping it in half cleanly.

A warm sensation rushed through my veins, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. All I care about is taking advantage of the demon's cries of agony to inflict more harm on him. I maintain the momentum created by my first strike before jumping up with my leg, forcing my body to twist as a result. I hit the demon's right arm with the help of the acceleration provided by the twist. When it is about to die, the demon instinct kicks in, and it attempts to send me away using its body. Unfortunately for it, I take advantage of the situation and slash at its body with my sword, therefore connecting myself to it. The demon's impact was excruciating, yet I was able to keep my composure and remain unflinching throughout. I go forward and enlarge my hand before hitting the demon in the chest, causing the blade to fall from the demon's midsection and dislodging it. While still in mid-air, I rapidly utilize my larger arm to capture the demon's body before attempting to stab the demon once more in the stomach. Unfortunately, the monster sprang into the air, forcing me to lose my hold on its body. Despite being in the air, the demon charges up a fireball, which is weird because the thirty second cooldown hasn't finished yet. Despite this, I didn't have time to think about it. Although I swiftly avoided and rolled to the right side, the flaming debris burnt my back rather seriously as a result of the fallout.

Pain sensations began to build up on my back, but I didn't pay attention to them since I was too occupied. If the cooldown for the fireball is active, it follows that the cooldown for the explosive body ability is likewise active. As a result, I leap into the air before enlarging my leg. It landed with force on the ground before soaring me into the air. I swung my large sword in the air, using the flat side of the blade to enhance the velocity a little bit more. I was approximately five meters away when the demon slammed down to the earth, erupting in flames from its writhing form. I quickly spin around and use the sword to protect crucial organs in my body from being severely burned. It worked out well for me because the sword sustained a significant amount of damage. I only had injuries as a result of a fall, and they were minor at best.

Knowing that it had used all of its abilities, I raced at it with the intention of putting an end to this fight as swiftly as possible. The demon with only two legs was unable to maintain its balance in the front. Making it much easier for me to do the task. It appears as though the demon is aware of its own impending doom, and it groans into the air as if pleading for mercy, but I never show mercy to an adversary. When it came down to the wire, I sliced off the demon's head, thereby ending its existence. As soon as the demon's head was sliced off, it dissolved into a fiery ember one meter tall and one meter in diameter. I touched it with my hand, and what came next was the most pleasurable experience I've ever had in my whole life. Untold amounts of heat were absorbed into my body, rejuvenating and freshening it. My amputated arm began to regenerate almost immediately. The following minute, my body feels more energized. Powerful energy begins to stream through my veins, providing me with increased strength. The sensation lasts for a short period of time until it fades away. I know I'm getting stronger because of these sensations, and I can't wait to see just how much stronger I've become.
