Chapter 14 - Unorthodox (Part 1)

"Shae" couldn't get a hold of her desire. Now that her job was done and Asag triggered the pandemic, she went straight where she left off by making the first move of closing the distance at a blazing speed between her and Liam. 

"Let's have fun over there~." She grabbed his arm with her mouth and threw Liam into a nearby house. She smiled as she morphed into her true form and licked her lips. Hoping that her calculation is correct and precise as she planned to throw him into a house, in a bedroom, and on the bed since she had been in that house before. 

Calypso didn't hesitate to hop into the house and on the bed excitedly. 

"I can't wait for this moment and fuck you right here in front of Aniya!" She was about to start her session to satisfy herself when she saw a pillow underneath after the dust cleared out. "What?" 

The succubus sensed something behind her and quickly pulled a whip from her cups. Blocking an incoming slash out of nowhere. She licked her lips again and wrapped her weapon around his sword.

"There you are pretty boy-" Calypso was cut off when she was struck by a ghost attack. Sending her flying out of the house. Bouncing off the ground and airborne into a public square. Struggling to get back on her feet and then dodged from Liam's landing. 

Calypso didn't have time to collect her thoughts to determine Liam's invisible attack. He was already up on her grills. Throwing one jab to set up his rear attack.

Calypso barely dodged to the side from an unusual unpredictable stab. An abnormal sword attack because they are usually telegraph, even just a bit. She didn't dodge it because of her reaction. She dodged it by accident thanks to Liam's powerful jab that sent her head out of danger. 

The demoness can't keep up with him. His attacks are unreadable. Liam threw the jab again to set up his finishing blow again. Calypso recognized his tactic and ducked underneath. Unleashing her claws, she went for the killing blow.

Then, a swivel jab from Liam's left was enough to stun her. His unorthodox attacks are too much for her and the lack of battle experience is enough for her to lose the fight since she's just a succubus. 

Calypso closed her eyes and accepted her fate only to be stopped by Asag who swooped in to stop Liam's attack. 

Without a doubt, Liam recognized who he was based on his hideous appearance which stood out like a sore thumb. Calm and collected, yet his actions were so violent and furious that he threw a power jab. Sending them both flying with a collateral force.

"Ow, what was that?" Asag didn't finish processing the situation as Liam was already on top of them. 

The hideous demon leaned back. Just enough for the sword to pass by before kicking Liam in the stomach to create distance. 

"Don't worry baby" he flirted Calypso. "I've got your back."

"This isn't time to joke around, Asag. This is the person I'm talking about."

"Oh really?! Then it's ON-"

"Be careful. I mean, take it seriously. He's not someone you can play around-" Calypso was cut off when Liam was on them again. 

Asag was out of time to attack as his opponent threw multiple jabs. Stacking the shocking pain on his face with each jab. The plague demon timed it perfectly and ducked underneath his attack while counter-attacking him.

Digging his claws into his neck and infecting his wound. Summoning his needle-like weapon; he went after his chest but was rocked by a different attack. Giving him an eerie ringing sound and his vision was sensitive to the light. 

He stumbled back and chuckled. Staring at the agonizing Liam as he holds onto his neck. 

"You threw a haymaker, didn't you?" Asag beamed as Liam winced from the infection. "A fast one too. I like it. Hopefully, your hands are covered in germs for me to collect-" 

Liam cut him off. Throwing a blazing jab. Asag widened his smile. Ducking the same attack and throwing a counterattack. Liam pulled his jab back. Stepping back and threw his jab again before launching his sword. Cutting his horns.

Asag stared at him. Smiling ear to ear. Not caring if his horns were cut off because it was just an accessory for his body. 

Then, Liam threw the "haymaker" he was talking about. Striking Asag on the temple and delivering the same effect. A stronger effect was sent throughout his body. Asag finally realized that it was no ordinary haymaker. The attack was in the shape of a hook. 

He held his weapon to the side to block Liam's incoming slash as he stumbled from his hook. He couldn't hold this fight much longer. Liam's unorthodox fighting style was enough to put him on the edge despite being a high alpha demon and living long enough to have veteran combat experience.

Asag shoves him back. At the same time, Liam threw an overhand left to his temple again before continuing to suffocate him with jabs. Asag blocked almost all of it until Liam changed his jabs. 

A spear jab that pierced threw his guard. He tightened his guard and the spear jab was still stabbing him. Liam changed his jab again to a corkscrew that pierced his guard completely and rocked his head. 

He ducked again. Performing the same counterattack. His needle sliced his cheek and was aiming for his wound to deal fatal damage.

'Gotcha-.' Asag's chin was struck by an unfamiliar punch. A fatal one that was enough to lift him off the ground where he was vulnerable. He struggled to keep his eyes and tumbled to the ground before quickly getting back on his feet.

"You dirty little..." He tried to mimic the jab, but it was obvious for Liam to read. Slipping on the outside. Asag smiled and launched his weapon at him. Aiming for his chest again around his lead hand. 

"URG!" The demon was hit by the same attack. An uppercut. He couldn't see it coming and the shock was multiplied. Running through his body and losing control as he was in the air. 

Liam saw the perfect opportunity and went for a killing blow. Asag used the momentum and kicked him on his chin. Sending Liam flying. 

"YOU'RE DONE FOR!" Asag threw his weapon at his neck. Liam tried to catch it, but it slid between his fingertips and struck his neck. "Ascending Paralysis Syndrome!" 

The area around his wound started to harden and the effects went throughout his body. Paralyzing him to the full extent. He also felt his muscles aching and cramping him. Making it harder for him to react. 

"I should've done that earlier, but you make a hell of a fight. It makes sense since something so strange and new could outclass someone with countless experiences." Asag stated as he rubbed his face to soothe the pain. 

"Aw, am I too late? Is this the guy she's been talking about?" Asag and Calypso gazed over and saw Jiang hopping over. "I've been dying to fight this guy, and yet you guys already took him down." 

"Well, he's nothing special other than weird attacks. I'm surprised he still didn't use his power." They both stopped talking as they saw Calypso inching closer to Liam. "What are you doing, Calypso?"

"Just taking the toy somewhere else."

"I rather chop him into pieces and have the mortals eat his remains, so I can start another pandemic."

"No no no. You can do that after I eat his qi." While they were arguing, Liam was fighting for control over his body. He gritted his teeth and tried to move his arm. Stretching his skin and pain rushing through his body. Bones cracked in his arms as his blood reached the surface of his skin. 

His teeth shattered from suppressing his agony, but his eyes were burning bright yellow. Liam ignores the pain and uses all his might to grab the hold of the weapon in his neck. He stopped and listened to the demons as they continued to fight over their prey. 

He had been wondering why his Guardian Mode didn't activate when he got wounded. Maybe it was his progression. Liam chuckled. Getting their attention. 

"First of all, nobody wants your syphilis." Liam gazed at Calypso. "Second, you are so weak that medicines cure your powers during battle." He turned his eyes on Asag. "Third, you're one of the few demons who have allergies like peach woods and jujube seeds." Lastly, he laid his sight on Jiang.

The trios glared at him. Balling their fists and their eyes flared with flames. Liam was hitting them with words they hated. Syphilis, medicines, peach wood, and jujube seed. Liam grinned ear to ear. 

"And finally, Calypso. You forgot to tell them that I am still a New-born Champion." Liam ripped and threw Asag's weapon in the air before it came flying back at his core.
