[Fused!]
The purple snake like mist had already started to crawl up Lucas's arm, growing rapidly, coating his arm like a second layer of skin.
The twister king looked at each of his apparent guards, then, points to Lily with a broad grin.
"Inspect." Lucas mumbled under his breath as he looked at the twister king who already got into a battle stance.
[Name: Aera]
[Race: Twister]
[Ability: Shadow]
[Rank: King]
The purple mist had already covered all of Lucas's body, his eyes were starting to turn purple as his sword glowed brightly vibrating vigorously as he walked up to the twister king.
"So you have come here to die, human?" Aera said, his eyes shone as he looked on to Lucas.
Lucas waited patiently as his eyes began to glow, he felt the energy at the pit of his stomach erupt as he locked eyes with Aera.
Aera's hand was curled before himself as if holding an invincible object, then, suddenly a shiny longsword materialised in his grasp.
Lucas took a battle stance, his knees were slightly bent, and his Darksteel was held up with it's edge pointed at Aera.
In a flash, the both of them lunged at each other, a mad glow in their eyes as they moved with paranormal speeds.
CLANG! CLANG!
Both swords collided, and sparks flew, Lucas took a spin, then, goes for a side slash which was narrowly evaded by Aera.
Aera lifts his sword swiftly, then, slammed it down. Lucas jumped back in defence, but that wasn't Aera's target, as the sword hit the ground, various shadowy spikes shot up from the ground at Lucas.
Lucas frowned, he didn't want to discover what would ever happen if he got struck by one of those spikes.
Aera didn't give Lucas time to relax after dodging his last strike, without pausing for even half a second, Aera swung his sword at Lucas.
Lucas was being pushed back, he thought that the battle would be over soon because of his amazing abilities, but that doesn't seem to be the case, perhaps he was probably too greedy today.
"Shadow shot!"
A thin straight shadowy line was shot out of Aera's finger at Lucas, the speed was overwhelming and Lucas got hit.
[Hp: 10/20]
'Damn it! One more attack like that, and I am done for.' Lucas thought.
Aera smiled seeing his attack worked perfectly, that attack was his strongest and he thought it had badly injured his enemy.
Lucas on the other hand thought it was the weakest strike seeing that an attack like that left no scratches on his body.
He furrowed his brows, despite all those assumptions, one more attack like that would surely deplete his life force.
"Shadow shot!" Aera yelled again hoping to finish off the human once and for all.
Lucas just took a step and he had appeared right behind Aera, and threw a powerful blow to the back.
'I could have done that from the start! Who knew a tiny bullet could put me in such a dangerous position?' Lucas thought as his fist made contact with skin.
Aera was lifted off the ground by a single punch, Lucas didn't wait for him to recover before sending another punch, this time infusing it with that weird purple mist.
The blow was so powerful that a king tier twister on par with a warlock was sent tumbling across the room, and crashing into a thick wall.
Lucas watched Aera as he lifts himself from the pile of rocks and debris, his eyes glowed in a dangerous light.
"My King, are you all right?" A twister guard asked.
"I am fine!" Aera snapped, annoyance visible in his dark eyes as he spoke.
Lucas yawned.
Aera got the taunt, and was extremely enraged as he glowered at Lucas, hoping to tear him to shreds.
Lucas looked over to Lily, and after seeing how great his partner was doing, Lucas focused all his energy on Aera.
Aera almost jumped, but his demon instincts screamed at him to really tear this human to shreds and end this power struggle now and here.
"Beginner's Luck."
[Already active...]
[Time left: 01:00]
Lucas heard his heart drop. He now had just a minute before this mode would deactivate.
Now Lucas understood this skill to a certain degree, anytime he begins a battle, the skill would automatically be activated, and he will have a 10% chance of winning in the next three minutes.
All these depends on luck, the luckier he is, the quicker he finishes the battle, just like how he killed the bat-like twister in one blow.
"I'll kill you!" Aera yelled from behind as he charged up to Lucas with his eyes lit up in fury.
Lucas sidestepped to the side, and in a blink he appeared at the other end of the room.
Aera bolts past leaving a trail of black dust. Seeing his strike was ineffective he roared in frustration.
"Shadow shot barrage!" Aera now faced his palm at Lucas hoping to blast him to bits.
Various beams of black shadow were shot at Lucas from Aera's palm, each one faster than the last.
Lucas was stunned for a moment, but he realised how dangerous the situation, and how his life was at stake.
Taking sidesteps to the left or right, or crouching, or Jumping Lucas managed to evade beam after beam.
"Aargghh!" Aera screamed in anger as he noticed non of his strikes were able to hit the puny human before him.
Lucas was done with this, he took a step forward not caring if he got hit or not, shadow beams were fired at him, but he recovered his senses and dodged before it was too late.
Lucas held his sword and made a vertical swing in the air, hoping to activate some special skill.
[Hidden Ability Used!]
[Dark Crescent:
An attack that can only be activated by one with the demon genes.
Send a crescent shaped line of dark energy, the stronger the user, the more powerful the attack.
(Only weapons made with a godly purple energy called Di would be able to be infused with this special skill).]
The sudden outburst of energy from Lucas shocked the twister king as he flinched.
A crescent shaped line like the purple mist was sent at Aera, the sounds of it cutting the air was audible enough for even the dead to hear.
Aera attempted to dodge, but he was too slow to evade the strike. The dark crescent hit and Aera's arm was separated from his body.
"Let Calder out now!" Lucas yelled as he knew what was going on.
The once childish expression on the demon's face had disappeared and was replaced with the face of a cold hearted murderer.
Aera starts to grow in size, his fangs grew longer and cow like horns protrudes from his head as his eyes glowed.
Lucas didn't know why he said that, but even he knew he wasn't able to defeat a king tier demon, he couldn't hold back anything, and that includes his trump card.
A glowing gold circle appeared on the ground with various runes in it, the circle began to spin around the runes as Lucas felt a connection with something inside it.
Aera had now completed his demonic transformation, his glowing red eyes were fixed on Lucas as he let out a demonic laugh.
Lucas crossed his fingers and toes, his heart beating out of his chest, and sweat was running down his face.
Suddenly something began to rise out of the golden circle, it was humanoid, completely gold from head to bottom.
[Calder Awakened!]
[Calder]
[Hp: 100/100]
[Mp: 100/100]
[Level: 00]
[Class: Versatile Warrior]
[Ability: Light]
The golden layer of skin on Calder started to peel off him as he waited, slowly the golden layer had reduced, and his face was visible.
Lucas's eyes widened in shock as he saw the face of Calder.
Black hair, deep blue eyes, fair face.
"No, No, No..." Lucas mumbled under his breath.
Calder spread out his arms, a broad smile was on his face, wings shot out of his back, and a golden humanoid dragon appeared behind him.
"Master, I won't let you regret letting me out to the surface."
Lucas was shocked. The way he moved, he spoke, he smiled, it was as if one was looking at one self in a mirror.
Calder looked just like Lucas, and now Lucas had discovered something he never wanted to believe.
Activating a sword meant for demons, having a system like that of a video game, blessed with the immortal power of insane growth, and a far stronger version of himself.
He was a demon god.
