Demon: "Oh I haven't forgotten you all! No instead I've been waiting!"
The speed of the demon had gotten quicker, in a sudden burst it had lunged at Baladan. The movement was to fast for him to dodge so he immediately screamed out "Shield!" Before putting his arms up to block.
The shield had taken the brunt of the attack but it wasn't enough! With a little extra force it broke the shield making it shatter like glass before his large muscular arm slammed into his guard sending him across the parking lot towards the science building.
Demon: "I just needed to get the nuisance out of the way for a second!"
With the release of its power it's strength had skyrocketed to the peak of a First Circle being, at least the peak for a normal human.
With the added power it flung Baladan away like it was nothing before leaping up to attack Boss!
Boss: "Detonate!"
Due to the demon having jumped in the air he immediately caused his Mana to reach him before blowing up knocking him away.
Demon: "You guys are so annoying!"
The moment the demon was about to land on the ground it was hit back up by a large black dog racing to get under it before smacking him away once more.
Demon: "Fine you damn beast! You want to be the one that dies first then be my guest!"
He instantly erupted with his Aura, the overall advantage he had in physical power had gotten even bigger! The moment he touched the group was the time he recovered and dashed at the dog.
He turned into a blur for a second before ramming his shoulder into Grim sending the beast flying backwards as he gets shot by the other 2 gang members.
Upon hitting they could see his body wasn't even scratched anymore. The bullets would hit against his body causing them to stop in there tracks before falling to the ground.
He had scoffed at the attempt to harm him before rushing after Boss. With Grim out of the way and his enhanced abilities he wanted to forcibly tank the Authority before killing him!
Boss: "Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut!"
He had said it many times placing gashes across the demons body but it was no where near same level of damage as before!
Now boss was face to face with a demon until a certain red head ran forward, flaming dagger in hand she begins her spell.
Rosa: "Fire spirits hear my call! Show my enemies the destructive power of your flames! [Inferno!]"
The area the demon had been standing had erupted in flames. A few feet away from Boss a sea of fire covered the large being leaving large burn marks all across its body!
This had shocked the demon, the destructive power from a being not even in the First Circle had some how damaged him enough to cause severe burns across his body!
Demon: 'Damnit! Why are these guys so strong!? It had only been a few days and yet these people have already touched the power of a First Circle being while being a normal ability holder!? This is ridiculous! The planet hasn't even gotten its first ring but people like this are already being created!'
He roared in pain before pushing past the flames just to swing his flaming fist down against the shield around Boss. The shield was to weak to stop it making him take the attack sending him flying into Rosa who went cracking down onto the bloody parking lot with Boss.
The demon didn't hesitate to follow up only to have 2 beings running at full speed at him from two different directions!
He clicked his tongue as he extended his hand trying to kill Boss and Rosa only to have his hand caught by a sudden white chain and a dog bitting into his right shoulder from behind!
Baladan had ran up casting his [Bind] spell before donning the mask and rushing forward at the red skinned demon before them.
Bal: "As the Sorcerer Of Life & Death I demand you head my call! [Speed!] + [Power!] = [Physical Enhancement!]"
With Baladan using 10 Pure Mana each time for his [Bind] he knew his bonus to his physique had to be significant if he wanted to match the demon before him. So by using a similar concept to Power to create Speed he pumped 50 Pure Mana into the spells giving him a x3 bonus to speed and strength for 5 minutes.
(He casted 2 spells and combined them, each spell he spent 25 Pure Mana on meaning in total he has spent 80 Pure Mana)
With the multiplier in effect he was finally able to keep up with his movements but he still wanted to end this quick! With the bind spell in place he ran past the demons hand and slammed his fist directly into its stomach!
Unfortunately the demon had broken the spell before leaning to the side only grazing it's body. However this was the first time the creature was forced to dodge their blows.
With the damage piling on and it's health not being able to keep up it was slowing down. Especially with a massive dog bitting into its body and threatening to tear a chunk out!
Of course he wouldn't just leave the mutt be! With a grab on one of its legs it had pulled hard forcing the dog to release the bite before throwing it at Baladan.
Bal: 'Catch Grim? No, that would slow me down! If I did that he would get an opening to either attack us or get rid of Boss and Rosa while they are recovering! Dodge!'
He ducked under Grim, his hand pushing on the dogs back to make him go higher in the air just so it's body doesn't land on Boss and Rosa before running up and trading blows with the demon.
Demon: "You won't be able to keep this up for long! Soon you will be out of Mana and out of time, just die already!"
When the demon swung Baladan would dodge using his street fighting experience he went straight for the legs! Instantly he got low tackling one of the legs before pulling down hard.
Demon: "W-What! You fight dirty you vermin!"
With the multiplier his physique was temporarily stronger then the creatures. This forced the demon to fall backwards, instantly Baladan jumped up to pin the demon down with his legs only to start ruthlessly beating its face in.
It's health was doing a good job repairing its damaged tissue only to suddenly get destroyed again! To increase his chances of finishing the fight now he used the last 20 mana to cast [Bind] again locking his arms and legs while Baladan using his fists began to brutality cave in the demons skull!
Blow after blow the ground shook, blood splattered as Grim got up and jumped on the demon as well! It used its body to pin it down as the sounds of bones breaking and flesh tearing was the only thing that can be heard besides screams of pain!
Baladan didn't stop even when the demon stopped making sounds. The face of the creature had been caved in at this point but he didn't trust it for a second! He didn't even see or hear that the announcement for the demons death had already shown up!
He was completely absorbed in turning this being into a pile of meat paste with each blow! Finally after 5 minutes of intense hammer fist slamming and flesh being torn he stopped covered in blood.
Necro: "That was almost really bad. If that guy had been more experienced you would be the one laying there right now"
The reaper only Baladan can see spoke into his mind as he looked down at the messed up corpse below his feet.

Boss: "Everyone check the surroundings, that fight could have brought a lot of attention. We will gather up and check everyone's conditions before we continue the mission!"
Bal: '…I had to use every single bit of my Pure Mana… and a majority of my Aura just to barely win because of its inexperience…'
