In the backline, Hilda and the demon went head to head toe to toe at one another. It seems Hilda got some sort of power boost just the moment after she said release. A burst of wind blew from Hilda body as the ground cracked from the sheer force it create. All of her tattoos began to glow in white as she raise her greataxe and smile excitedly.
"THE 2ND REASON MY NAME IS BONE HILDA IS BECAUSE I AM BONE ITSELF!"
Hilda charge forward and swing her greataxe onto the demon chest. It manage to wounded the demon but it quickly regenerate, it seems to regenerate much faster than before. Though as the demon regenerate, Hilda quickly shove her hand onto the chest wound and grin similar to the demon in front of her.
"Heh, try this little surprise!"
As a bunch of sharp bone protrude from inside Hilda hand and it all pierce right through the demon, messing it all up on the inside. The demon shriek loudly as everyone else close their ears from the high pitch scream. Hilda start to protrude small sharp bone all over her body as she drop her greataxe on the ground.
"Now... Let's try something!"
Hilda pull her right hand that she use to shove inside the demon wound, and clench her left hand. A bunch of sharp bone protrude from her left hand as she punch the demon chest with all her might. Hilda punch the demon ribs as a booming sound can be heard by everyone. A loud cracking sound of a bone followed with it as Hilda punch made the demon knocked away to the wall on her right.
"Hah! You like that you damn freak?!"
Hilda rush forward to the demon and she repeatedly punch the demon on the body. Dark blood, cracking bone, booming punch sound can be repeatedly hear and saw by everyone. As Hilda punch the demon repeatedly, the demon start to shriek and retaliate. The demon stop both of Hilda hands as they both start to clench one another fist, testing who is stronger.
"HAHAHAH! NOT BAD YOU DAMN FIEND!"
Hilda and the demon start to trade blows, as the demon seems to clench it fist and punch just like Hilda imitating her. The others could only watch from afar at the intense duel happening in front of their eyes. Hilda and the demon just trade blows with each blow getting louder and harder. Blood and dark blood splashed everywhere with each second.
But Lyron could tell that Hilda is at a disadvantage, as the demon can keep regenerating over and over. Lyron then focus on his staff and use the remaining ether he has. As blue magic circle appear below Hilda feet and the staff glow.
[Tier 2 Water Magic : Aqua Ring]
Water start to form around Hilda just like a ring circling her. The water drop slowly onto Hilda wound as it start to heal her bruised and scratches wound from earlier.
"Heh, thank you Lyron!"
Hilda start to get her stamina back as she dominate the battle easily. Hilda laugh loudly as she keep punching the demon body, as it seems the demon got overwhelmed. Hilda could see something inside the demon body as in just a second it regenerate its flesh back. Hilda backed away and run toward somewhere and picked up something
"Let's end the game right here right now eh?!"
Hilda picked up her greataxe, then she turned around to face the demon. The demon just stare at Hilda with it's huge red eyeball and charge forward, toward Hilda. Hilda seems to focus her power onto her greataxe. As bone protruding from Hilda hand and coat the whole greataxe, turning it into a greataxe made of bone and a bigger greataxe.
"At least you could see my real strength before you die... I call this weapon Big ol' Bone! And it'll cut right through you!"
The demon stop advancing forward, as Hilda raise her greataxe made of bone and twist her body to the back. The demon could feel a big threat in front of it, and it start to back away slowly. The demon felt fear from another species other than demon. The demon could tell that it could die if it gets closer.
"You're not going anywhere!"
Rodney shouted, as he touch the ground. A brown magic circle appear right below the demon. The demon is shocked looking at the magic circle below it.
[Tier 2 Earth Magic : Earth Contamination]
The ground start to shake as it crept up to the demon leg, rendering its leg useless. The demon stop from the ground stopping it and Hilda just smiles like the demon as she prepare an insane attack. Hilda twist her body backward to get an inhumane momentum on her attack. It seems Hilda plan to kill the demon in one swing. Hilda relaxed all her muscle as her upper body bend backward even more. People could hear a sound of muscle tearing apart and bone cracking coming from Hilda. But she doesn't seems to mind it at all, as it seems the water ring circling her healed the damage she done to her own body quickly making it possible for Hilda to twist backward even more.
"HERE I COME!!!!"
The demon shriek in fear looking at what Hilda gonna do. While Hilda dash forward leaving a shockwave of air behind and went right in front of the demon. Hilda approaching the demon made it remember something from the 7 hell.
In the 6th hell where the sin of gluttony live, a hell where you will always feel hungry and the need to devour. Usually lower rank demon became the food of a higher rank demon. But some demon are unaffected by the insatiable thirst for hunger. Those demon are usually the representative of the ruler of that part of hell. Those demon are called 'The Herald'.
The Herald are the chosen view of high-rank demon by the ruler of demon itself. Their sheer existence could make other demon instantly fear that demon. And now this demon at this point in time, felt the same pressure, the same fear of The Herald even thought it's just in that split second. The demon could only remember the fear it felt from such pressure coming from the herald. As the demon think what in front of him is similar to a herald but in the human world.
"DIE!!!"
Hilda swing horizontally cutting the demon in half right on its torso. The intense swing even created a burst of wind similar to a blade as it almost completely cutting down the roof of the cave. All the people watching Hilda right now had their jaw drop for a while looking at the massive destruction Hilda just created.
The cave began to rumble for a moment from the inhumane strike Hilda just did. While on the surface, everyone could feel an earthquake for a moment, as people scattered everywhere looking for a safe spot. The earthquake stop as everyone calm themself down. The people from the black cat guild start to shout as he seems to make an announcement.
"EVERYONE! HEAD INTO THE CAVE, IT SEEMS THE 4TH AND 3RD DIVISION CAPTAIN IS IN DANGER, SO IS THE 3RD DIVISION VICE-CAPTAIN!"
The adventurer and knight start to run around picking up their stuff and preparing themself to head inside the dungeon. While the person from the black cat guild just look intensively at the ring on his hand. He starts to sweat profusely looking at the ring, it seems 3 out of 4 of the ring turn orange. From the guy understanding, an orange means that they are in a rough condition and possibly near critical condition which is red.
"In a span of a minute... 3 out of 4 of the ring turn orange almost at the same time... Just what the hell is inside this dungeon..."
Back in the cave, Hilda drop her greataxe as it turn back into a normal greataxe. The other is still shock on what they are seeing. The demon got cut in half as the upper body of the demon drop on the floor. Though everyone expect the demon to regenerate back, only Rodney and Lyron saw it. That the reason Hilda cut horizontally right on its torso is because some sort of heart reside inside. A gruesome monstrous heart can be seen got cut in half. As the demon drop to the ground, the body slowly disintegrate.
The other is surprise looking at the demon is finally defeated. Everyone start to cheer happily knowing that the danger is finally gone. Lyron and Rodney drop on the ground as they all laugh and cheer happily.
"RAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
Hilda screamed out loudly, as she drop on the ground exhausted. Rodney and Lyron quickly went over to Hilda and shake her up. As the other knights and adventurer hurriedly went over to Hilda their savior. Everyone happiness turn into worriedness of Hilda...
