for a moment the man gathered his mind back and responded with punches of his own. Damon could tell the thief's vitality was higher than his natural physical power because of the amount of ki he would have to put in a punch or physical attack to make him feel it and bleed.
unfortunately the sight of his burning soul beast was too much of a distraction and so he barely defended himself and couldn't get back in the groove of fighting.
"no, no it can't be. everything is happening so quick. ho,how. the man thought while watching Damon's movements. this boy he's fast but I'm faster and I can see all of his movements even the slightest ones. but everytime I see him attacking from one area my other eyes capture him attacking from somewhere completely different. by that time it's too late for me to dodge or counter. the man thought while preparing to block a knee to his stomach but was hit hard on his knee instead.
a cracking sound was heard as the man knee folded inward. he let out a loud scream that was shortlived as Damon punched him in his mouth making his scream sound muffled for a second. Damon was now slowing down with using his purple ki as he had already used a chunk of his ki pool because of the demonic ki he used off and on.
although Damon was pretty decent with power and skills it took ki to use them and his demonic ki was the only thing really damaging the man and the only thing that was stronger than his webs. This was Damon's main weakness. if he faced an opponent long enough and had to use demonic ki a lot just to hurt them or be a threat to them he had to end the fight quickly because of his ki pool percentage.
the only thing he could do was limit the amount of demonic ki used which would take less of his ki pool. this is why his last static rain sword had a small amount of demonic ki and mostly was made of is normal ki energy which is his lightning blue color.
in order to hurt the man seriously he had to constantly hit the Same areas on his body while using his normal ki. Damon constantly took notes in his head. "I'm in no position to keep relying on my demonic ki while fighting him. but why, why isn't my normal ki doing more damage." he thought as he connected a strong kick sending the man flying back hitting a tree. it was at this point he noticed something.
there was a small open wound on his arm. Damon could see beneath his skin was not flesh but bone. the wound wasn't deep enough to show bone so he asked himself why while the man staggered to his feet.
he then looked over at the red huntsman spider and noticed that it was still alive and moving.
it was actually doing more than moving it was still fighting back which surprised Damon. he thought the spider was literally on its last legs. its skin had big blisters on it and many of them had burst revealing parts of its exoskeleton.
it clicked in Damon's head why his normal ki wasn't doing what he assumed it should be able to do. thinking back about both spiders information he remembered about its strong durable exoskeleton. this made him realize the mans had bones layered over bones just like the spider making his body difficult to damage.
{Red huntsman spider Lvl. Highly matured.}
{Ability- All eyes. red cotton web.}
{the red huntsman spider is an aggressive spider with fast speed and reflexes. its eight eyes can move anywhere throughout its body. it has two types of webs which are dark mesh and red cotton. this spider has a unique exoskeleton which can protect it from many injuries and death as it's triple layer of bone is very tough}
he mentally pulled up the information again and found his thoughts must be correct after skimming over it. "it's not his vitality that's making it difficult. it's a skill and it must be a passive one. Damon was determined to not use his demonic form at least not for this particular fight. another reason he didn't want to use it is because he knew vora was watching his battle.
He noticed her a while ago a little after Javalin had returned to his side. he had seen her power and what she could do and right now he was being a little cautious of what power and skills he showed after noticing her. unless he was in a beyond difficult position he didn't want to show too many of his skills and reveal the limitations on his demonic ki in front of her. he felt it was the wrong time to be thinking about it but In truth he knew he would have the chance to fight her and to reveal all the cards in his hands would be foolish.
putting his thoughts to the side he devised another plan as the thief began to gather energy. black and red energy shifted from his feet surrounding his entire body.
"you little prick, it's time I show you something grand. something you have brought upon yourself. he yelled in anger.
unfortunately his little outburst was cut short as Damon had given Javalin a command. multiple black fire balls began raining down destroying the red thick webs high in the trees that were blocking his static rain. Damon remembered when he brought out the whips. the rain enhanced his attack enough for him to deliver a small shock and so did his static rain but to a higher degree.
The static rain began pouring in through the openings and holes hitting the man with shocks all over his body. "ha this was your plan. I can take this, it's nothing the man said as he gathered a pinkish red energy that began mixing with his black mesh.
Damon smiled as he raised his hands. the static rain suddenly started to sting cutting and releasing small static shocks at a tremendous speed.
"static rain daggers." Damon whispered. it was the second new move he developed while training his rain. tiny rain manipulated into daggers infused with electricity. he figured if hitting the man over and over in the same spot was going to do the damage he needed done then a shit load of static rain daggers should do the trick. he wasn't able to change all the rain but only the raindrops within their circumference.
small indentions were made all over his body as in seconds turned into small cuts and then puncture wounds. the amount was crazy as it climbed in the hundreds and then thousands within a minute. the small electric ripples hit the thief a second after each stab as the pain worsened dropping him to his knees.
the blue fluorescent daggers glowed beautifully as they stormed down. Javalin also used another obsidian flare which rained down on the red spider throwing its already mangled blistered body around creating small craters as they crashed.
Damon also had a failsafe plan active just in case his original plan didn't work. he had cast recovery mist as well after Javalin destroyed most of the webs above him. his ki pool was returning but slowly. it was currently 75/500.
He had enough to use is demonic ki but knew he shouldn't because there could be more threats in the area.
the man's body and armor started breaking down as his wounds got worse. he tried moving and blocking the storm of daggers with webs but they had prevailed too far and it was too late. a feeling of dread and defeat was casted over him as he weakly pushed back with his hands up in front of his face like he was battling a sandstorm.
"I give up, stop, please stop. he yelled with a cracked voice. this went on for a few more seconds as Damon ceased his attacks. everything disappeared as the area remained wet with a light drizzle.
the man instantly began crawling slowly towards his soul beast who was on its back beaten blistered and battered with six missing legs and half its head gone. surprisingly it was still alive.
the man's wounds had penetrated his exoskeleton, his armor and his real flesh could be seen riddled with holes as blood spilled from every part of his body. the holes were really small but there were thousands of them.
recovery mist gradually loomed over the man as Damon decided something else instead of letting him bleed out.
Damon walked up to him taking out his soul dagger planning to kill and take his soul but for some reason his attention once again became fixated on the spider beast that was holding on for dear life.
"I fucking hate spiders." Damon changed directions and kneeled down by the spider as Javalin slid up his legs and into her favorite new spot. she was fine and only had a few scratches here and there.
"wait,no, please. don't do it. you'll break my soul and my life would be ruined.
" ruined, how many lives have you already ruined. how many people have you killed to get what you want. " Damon asked him.
"I, I've never killed anyone. I only say stuff like that for scare tactics. it makes it easier for me to steal without much force. please I'm telling you the truth. don't, don't take my soul beast away from me. she's my awakened soul beast. I'm begging you kid."
he said with tears.
