Swoosh!
Arthur instantly left the Namor fortress and stopped 10 meters away from a demon who was clearly taller than the others.
Seeing Arthur, the demon shouted.
"You humans for sure are arrogant! I was thinking of taking down the elves first, but looking how you are courting death, I will…"
Listening to the long monologue this demon was trying to say, Arthur, who just wanted to fight and kill, grew impatient.
"Shut up and fight!" After saying these words, Arthur instantly appeared in front of the demon, hoping that he could pierce his throat and send him to hell.
But the demon was quick to react. He instantly raised his sword and blocked Arthur's dagger.
Break!
The strength in this clash was so strong that the dagger Arthur was using till now broke! Now, he only had one dagger while his opponent had a magical weapon.
Seeing the broken dagger in his hand, Arthur threw it away together with the other dagger he had. Now, he was bare handed. He then shouted to his opponent.
"Do you dare to fight me with your own hands, or will you hide behind that sword like a coward?!"
Talos, who heard Arthur's provocation, immediately understood Arthur's plans. But even though he knew what Arthur was trying to do, he still chose to put his sword away in his spatial ring.
'It would be a pity if I killed him too easily. I want to see what the power of the Demon God can do.'
Seeing that his opponent actually fell in his provocation, Arthur was very happy. He then praised his opponent and prepared for a good fight.
"You truly are a great demon! Now, let's fight!"
Arthur couldn't wait to exchange blows with that demon who didn't look any weaker than him.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Both humans and demons rushed towards each other at an incredible speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just a few seconds, they collided many times, and both knew that it wasn't going to be an easy fight.
'He is strong!'
'He is strong!'
At this moment, both more or less knew the strength of their opponent, and both were surprised because their opponent was as strong as them!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Both frantically tried to get an advantage in this fight, but they were equal!
Arthur launched a punch in Talos's abdomen. It was blocked!
Taking the opportunity, Talos launched a kick towards Arthur's head. It was blocked!
Again and again, they both tried to deliver fatal blows, only to be blocked by the other party.
Talos had more fight proficiency. It, in theory should've given him an advantage against Arthur. But Arthur had a very strong Might and reaction speed. Each of his movements had a strong aura that made his battle power explosive high.
1 hour after the fight had started, nothing changed. They still were fighting with everything they had. Each second was full of adrenaline and clashes. Both were doing everything they could to kill their opponent.
Things only started to change after 12 hours of fighting.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
To maintain such an intense fight for so long was very exhaustive. Even if they were countless leagues above a normal person, it still wasn't easy for them to keep fighting for so long.
But none of them gave up. The only thoughts in their minds were how to defeat their opponent! They didn't even have a notion of time!
They were both in a world where only them existed, nothing else beside their opponent mattered.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It's been one day since they were fighting. Both were mentally and physically exhausted, and with exhaustion comes mistakes. They couldn't perfectly block the moves of their opponents anymore. Many times, they hit each other, which caused them to get more exhausted even faster.
If the fight continued like that, it was hard to know who would be the winner. Because of that, one of them decided to stop being 'fair'.
'It can't continue to be like this, I never expected that the human's S-rank expert would be so fierce! Even with the Demon God's ring, I can only be equal to him! I need to kill him no matter what, or otherwise it will be impossible to conquer the world.'
With determination in his eyes, Talos was waiting for the right opportunity to make his movement. And the opportunity came.
One mistake was everything he needed.
Swoosh!
Pierce!
Seeing that Arthur committed a mistake, in just an instant, Talos recovered his magic sword from the spatial ring and pierced Arthur's chest!
Instantly!
Just as Talos thought that Arthur was done, Arthur suddenly grabbed the sword hilt with his left hand, and with his right hand, he launched a powerful punch in Talos's face.
Boom!
Talos was sended flying, his face was bleeding, and he had a look of disbelief.
'How did he suddenly become so strong?'
Arthur then took the sword out of his chest and wielded it. He then charged at the demon's location at a speed that was way above what he showed in the battle before.
Swoosh!
Cut!
Talos was beheaded in place!
[Demon's heart assimilated, talents acquired: Might, Super Body]
Arthur then fell to his knees. His breath was very heavy.
"It was close. If I hadn't moved a little to the left, this sword would have pierced my heart."
Arthur looked at the sword in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little of fear. He then took a deep breath and walked towards Talos' corpse with the intention to loot it.
Looking at his hands, Arthur noticed that he had two spatial rings, one that looked like any other spatial ring and one that looked very cool.
Without thinking too much, he took out the cool ring from the demon's finger and put the ring on his own index finger on his right hand.
To his surprise, the ring automatically adjusted to the size of his finger. Just as Arthur was about to look what was inside the ring, he suddenly heard a voice in his head.
'Finally someone worthy.'
