Chapter 209 - Chapter 209 Mind Crab(3)

Traits are abilities developed by a demon or an angel and not gained through evolution like skills are. There are unique traits that are said to be given directly by the system, these types of traits cannot be taught or learned, which us what makes them unique. Unique traits are also more powerful than ordinary trait, but, there are some traits that come close to the power granted by unique traits, one such trait is [Overdrive]. [Overdrive] is a trait developed by Asmodious herself and was taught to a select few, including some of her children. This trait allows the user to absorb demon miasma from the air, continuously. This trait is very dangerous to the user as their bodies absorb energy way beyond it's limit and can cause their body to 'burn itself out' or even explode. Even if this doesn't happen, using this trait for long periods of time can be very traumatic and stressful to the body, even one with strong regeneration like a demons. Due to the effects of the trait, Lily's skin changed from from a light red coloured to a dark crimson that made her look like she came out of a furnace, a dark red aura surrounded her and she released a fearsome bloodlust.

The crab shuddered a bit and took a step back as it could feel the fearsome amount of an energy emanating from the Lily. Not wasting any time, Lily launched herself towards the fearsome crab, turning into a blue. She appeared above the head of the crab, where Colin managed to crack its shell and sent her whip flying towards the same spot, causing it to crack even more. The creature, frightened, gathered all the psychic energy it could muster and grabbed Lily with an ethereal blue hand. Not being able to see the psychic energy, Lily was easily caught, but unlike Colin, she was able to fight against the psychic energy using the skill enchanted into the cursed whip, but unlike before, the psychic energy didn't disappear instantly. As the crab focused all it's attention on Lily, it seemed to have forgotten about another threat which had been released from its shackles. Using [Stealth], Colin flew above the head of the crab looking at the large crack that was left behind by Lily's attack. The crab's shell didn't heal as fast as it's flesh, which means that shell was still brittle for now, but Colin needed to act fast before it started to heal.

'Ok, I have one shot at this.' Colin thought as he channelled demonic energy into his remaining claw. With Lily's brief yet effective training, Colin's demonic energy has gotten stronger and as he channelled the little demonic energy he had left into his claw, it became longer and tinted red. Colin flew high into the sky before flying down fast with the aid of his wings to build up as much momentum as possible.

'Die, you stupid beast.' Colin roared as he thrust his hand forward. His hand sunk into the crack up to his elbow, splashing blue blood all over Colin's body. The crab screamed in pain and tried to use its psychic abilities to remove the threat, but that only allowed Lily to get free of it's grasp. She immediately pounced on the beast, attacking its legs with her whip and causing it to snap at the joint. Scared, the crab released a jet of water from its mouth towards Lily while trying to use it psychic ability to remove Colin off its leg. The crab has never been in a situation like this before and wasn't able to effectively use its abilities to save itself.

Colin grasp whatever was inside the crab's head tightly as the crab tried to remove him, but it only caused the creature more pain. On Lily's side, she agiley dodged the jet of water while attacking the creature's legs savagely.

"Take this you stupid beast." Colin smiled eviley as he channelled hellfire through his hand into the creature's head.

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

The crab screeched pitifully as the hellfire quickly started to spread through inside its head, releasing waves of demonic energy as it did. Lily didn't let up either, attacking with a ferocity befitting a demon. The creature tried it's best, but couldn't do anything to stop the two demons assaulting it and in the end, it received the same end as the other beasts in the city.
