Chereads / Nephilim's Ascension: Alone in the Demon Realm / Chapter 18 - A moment of Clarity

Chapter 18 - A moment of Clarity

A boy could be seen pointing his Sword at a three-meter tall Demonic Beast in the area filled with tall, dark trees without leaves.

 

His tangled, snow-white hair moved slowly as the cold wind passed by; Darkness surrounded the sky, devouring any light present.

 

A big blue color moon could be seen hiding behind the clouds, As if afraid of being seen by something terrifying. 

 

'Growl!' The Demonic Beast looked at the posture of his opponent and approached him with a sneer on his face.

 

Their eyes met a pair of Deep Blue Eyes met with a pair of big Crminson Eyes that were shining; the Beast charged at its opponent.

 

Its body bent, the Demonic Beast used it's limbs as legs and dashed at its opponent, revealing its sharp canines.

 

Amon closed his eyes and concentrated as he took a deep breath; a blue Aura surrounded his legs as his feet left the ground.

 

'Slash'

 

His Sword covered by Aura, danced in the air as it met with the body of the opponent, At the same time, a big claw moved toward him.

 

Amon released his Breath and dashed back, kicking his legs with full force, dodging the attack.

 

'Grrrr,' The Demonic Beast charged at him again; the slight cut on its body started to recover the next moment.

 

Its mane and tail flowed like small streams as it moved at a breakneck speed; it slammed its arms and launched itself at Amon.

 

Next moment its body left the ground; it appeared in the air moving toward Amon.

 

In air, it changed its posture and pounced at Amon with its frontal claws ready to tear Amon's body apart.

 

Amon inhaled again and tried to dodge the attack again, but he found he was late; opponent had already appeared near him and had landed a claw on his Chest.

 

'Crash'

 

His body hit the tree behind him, making him groan in pain. He slowly stood up with his body shaking and used Prana Heal to recover faster.

 

The Demonic Beast relaunched its attack; Amon concentrated his Prana as he jumped sideways by kicking the tree behind him.

 

'Slash'

 

Claw attacks landed on the spot he was present a moment ago, whole tree shook by impact. 

Amon sighed in relief before he took a deep breath, his Chest expanded and his body shook. 

 

Next moment, Aura surrounded his feet and he dashed at the opponent, Halfway the Aura concentrated on his Sword as he swung his Sword with both hand.

 

'Ahhhh' He screamed as his sword tre through air and made contact with its abdomen.

 

'Splurt'

 

Dark Blood burst as a fountain from the wound, However the Demonic Beast moved its tail like a whip and smashed Amon's face.

 

'Grrrrhh' It howled in pain; it was enraged this time. How can that weakling dare to injure him? Its regeneration took effect as the moonlight fell on it.

 

'Arghh' Amon groaned in pain as he threw up a mouth full of Blood. He held his dizzy head, the last attack was unexpected. He was feeling a little dizzy; his forehead was swollen.

 

'Growl' He could hear angry sounds released by the Demonic Beast; its wounds had already been recovered.

 

'Awoooooo' It howled at the sky; a Blood Red Aura covered its body. It stared at its prey with his eyes full of Bloodlust.

 

Amon felt a chill all over his body; his heart started racing. Goosebumps appeared all over his body.

 

The moment he turned, he felt as if the whole area around him had become lot colder than it usually was; he tried to cover himself as he felt the biting cold.

 

His eyes then fell on the colossal Beast staring at him, He could see the rage in its eyes. 

 

He gulped his saliva and tightened the grip of his long Sword, pointing it at the Demonic Beast. 

 

Bathing in sweat, his eyes still staring at the terrifying Creature. Adrenaline rushed through his head as he took his biggest Breath.

 

As if someone had added fuel to the Fire like Aura, It expanded and covered his whole body. Not long after it, his veins stretched, body shook and eyes started Glowing.

 

'Ahhhhh' He jumped at the Opponent approaching him.

 

'Clang'

 

'Slash'

 

'Slice'

 

They started attacking each other with everything they got.

 

'Boom!'

 

CLaws and Sword slashes were exchanged continuously, filling the body of both with wounds.

 

They separated after a few moments; The boy appeared with his disheveled hair and body bathed in Blood.

 

Veins stretched and became more visible; His eyes started looking a little red as red veins appeared on them—white fumes released from all over his body.

 

'Arghhh' He groaned as the gusts approached him carrying Prana; it went past his body and started filling his Prana Reserve to ten percent.

 

'Fuuuu' He exhaled as he tried to control Prana around his body; his whole body was shaking and he was feeling a splitting pain in his head.

 

On his Chest, a big chunk of flesh had disappeared his bones were slightly visible; He coughed up Blood holding his Chest.

 

'Arghhhh.' He Groaned in Agony as his eyes started burning, tears of black blood started flowing from them.

 

'Ahhhhh,' he released a loud cry, as he held his head from body his hands. The pain made him crazy, as he pulled his hair and looked at his Opponent.

 

'Awooooooo!' The Demonic Beast was also at his limits. He had more wounds and a large amount of Blood had leaked from his body.

 

The aura around it constantly fluctuated as if it was at its limits.

 

Their eyes met again. This time they could see fear and uncertainty in each other's eyes with Rage; they stood again, preparing themselves for the final clash.

 

Amon exhaled a large amount of Prana in the surroundings, his body bent a little back as his stomach, and Chest expanded. He could feel pain in them due to the stretch; with little more, he felt like they would pop like balloons.

 

'Awoooo,' The Demonic Beast Howled as the Aura around it became thick again; it started charging at Amon.

 

Amon concentrated all his Prana on his Sword; It lit up like a torch of Blue Fire.

 

'Ahhhhh.' gathering the remaining strength from his body he charged toward the Beast as the fingers holding the handle of his Sword clenched hard.

 

They put all their strength in this attack; Amon's sword moved toward his opponent, carrying a torrent of his Aura with it.

 

He stared at his opponent, It was as if time had slowed down, he could feel everything. 

 

His heartbeat looked higher even at this moment; A partial blindness appeared before him as if his eyes had stopped working.

 

'Is this it?' He said, biting his tongue; he felt like this was the end. He was just about to close his eyes and embrace it when he remembered his mother.

 

'No, I don't want this.' he protested.

'I want to live' he screamed in full force.

 

It was then as if he returned to the moment again; he could see the Giant Beast before him.

 

Suddenly, he felt a sting in his eyes, and everything became clear. He was never able to see the world like that.

 

He could suddenly read the trajectory of his opponent's attack, he followed it and took a side step before thrusting his Sword at the place where he was feeling its neck would be.

 

'Whoosh,' A gust passed as the claw moved from just a cm away from his body.

 

'Stab' his sword pierced through the neck of the Beast.

 

'Grrrrr,' the Demonic Beast suddenly stopped before its body fell over Amon.
