Chapter 43 - with ring

(Morgania's bloodlust spell is a very strong ability but it has a high requirement and that's the need to kill to keep it active, since it only lasts for ten seconds without a kill. However with each kill her strength and speed are increased even more, so is the amount of kills needed to reset the timer making it a powerful army killing ability.)

(Demons- Like humans the creatures of this race are not born equal, their is a class gap that segregates their species. However all demons have a greater base physical strength than many other realm organisms. Demons are naturally destructive and evil creatures aiming to cause the most amount of fear in the prey they eat. They come in many shapes, sizes, and clans. They are separated into four categories.

Lesser demons: They are the demons born from the accumulated evil of other realm organisms they are the only non natives of demon-kin and the weakest of demon-kin, they are also the majority of the first three domains of the demon realm. there is always exceptions.

Greater demons: They are the demons born from the will of "them" and they are naturally awakened. They are stronger and smarter than the previous demons and much more destructive and violent. They are the base form of most truly strong demon-kin and they inhabit the last 4 domains of the demon realm. The have the ability to develop rings.

Ring demons: They are the evolved form of greater demons and the beginning of a demons journey to strength. They have the name "Ring demon" for the rings they develop around their mana cores. They can develop a max of 8, four spinning horizontal and four spinning vertically around their cores. Each ring greatly increases a demon's strength and mana, however that is not the main effect of the rings. They must consume many cores of the same ring level demons to gain another ring making each ring exponentially more powerful. To even gain a ring they must eat countless creatures and kill hundreds of demons.

Each ring increases a demon's regenerative ability: rings 1-3 give a basic healing speed increase. Rings 4-6 increase healing speed again, but also allow demons to regrow or reattach severed limbs. Rings 7-8 allow a demon to regenerate as long as their core is still intact as well as being able to develop and wield a second element.

Sin demons: They are $#/@^&)

Greg's soldiers continue to slash and tear, rip and shred through imps, however Greg himself was hardly managing to combat the 2 dozen [rank-C] imps, their attacks weren't coordinated but they were numerous. 

They were also smart enough to avoid hitting their allies. He manages to kill two of them, however sheer amount of enemies stop him from absorbing mana cores and he was gaining and healing injuries constantly. Greg starts to worry about how long he can continue this battle as his mana diminishes. 

On the other side of the area Gareth was engaged in a fierce battle with the [rank-B] being pushed to the defensive evading and blocking attacks. He was also being forced to heal from the attacks he blocked and ones the grazed him as well as the continued attacks of the imps able to break from from their slaughter.

'What to do. What do we do.' Greg thought to himself as he looked for an answer well fighting off more and more imps. 

Bang*

A loud hit was heard as Gareth was sent flying into the horde of imps. He moved to slow and the [rank-B] imp immediately took advantage of this to deliver a powerful blow to Gareth's side. He squashed about 10 imps as many more began to beat on him. 

Despair rushed through Greg's mind as he is trying to rush over to him, yet he was stalled by the [rank-C] imps. 

The [rank-B] imp is speeding towards Gareth as it prepares to deliver the finishing blow. "FLAMING RUSH!"

Morgania reached the battlefield!

She quickly assessed the battle and rushed over to help Gareth. She created a magic circle and yelled out.

"BLOOD OVERDRIVE!" 

all the veins on and in her body enlarged and mana surged through them. Blood was forced out of her body turning into mist around her. Her speed was greatly increased as she almost instantly appeared in front of the [rank-B] imp. 

Clang* Boom*

The sound of metal clashing rang out followed by an explosion. Morgania continues to rush forward as the imp is sent flying back. While in the air , before it has a chance to recover a blade is plunged into its chest and it is slammed down causing spiderweb like cracks to stretch out beneath it.

With rage in her eyes, Morgania sat on top of and relentlessly stabbed into the imp. At first it tried to resist however after the 20th stab, it was barely hanging on to life.

"YOU DARE TO ATTACK MY LORD." Morgania Screamed into the face of the imp. The battle came to a halt as all the imps stared at her with surprise, along with Greg and Gareth.

She continued to stab the imp and after 25 it was dead, and after 100 it was mangled beyond recognition. The imps went from being thoroughly impressed by the display of brutality to fearful. After 150 Morgania was finally satisfied and the previously [rank-B] imp was now a pile of shredded flesh and bone shards from the waist up.

The imps looked at their ally in horror as if they weren't demons. Morgania was drenched in blood as she stood up. Then she twisted her head towards the army of imps with a crazed look in her eyes and a sweet sinister smile.

This is supposed to mark the beginning of her slaughter! 

Although her ability causes great damage to herself, she still rushes towards the army as the imps tried to shake off their fear and surprise. Gareth began to crush and eat the imps around him while Greg took the chance to kill another [rank-C] imp. 

The tides of battle began to turn as the three of them and 12 shadow soldiers continued decimate the slowly dwindling number of remaining imps. Greg and Gareth fused and ate more imps to increase their killing speed!

Morgania slowed down to focus on healing from the backlash of her spell.

As Greg went to chase down a group of cowards who ran away.

Boom*

Suddenly an explosion was heard below his feet as the ground erupted like a volcano. A large hand quickly grabbed onto his leg as a larger arm and body appeared from the ground.

Greg is swiftly slammed into the ground before he has a chance to react. 

"WHAT THE HELL!" He roars right as he's lifted and slammed again. Then he is flung away into the ground causing him to cough up blood. 

He shakily rises and looks at the area to see what happened. The thing he saw surprised him.

In front of the hole stood a 7ft tall imp with chiseled muscles and jagged black stone protruding from his body to form warped gauntlets and cracked horns, was standing there. It looked down on him with a sadistic smile showing it's bloody sharp teeth. 

But that demon's image isn't what caught him off guard but its panel.
