The focus shifting back to Lena and Koichi, they were met with villagers running towards them. A demon with short curly black hair was following behind them, wielding a giant claymore in its right hand.
The same demon knight like armor dawned this guy as well and his red eyes were staring down the two of them without even the slightest shift in attention.
"To be greeted by two heroes here is such an honor. I wondered why Kami was taking so long but it all makes sense. Lots of dead soldiers." The Demon says with a big smile on its face.
Koichi looked over at Lena, then back at the demon before them.
"It's definitely a captain, we can do this." Koichi says while pulling out his halberd.
He's getting a lot more serious since he never pulls out his halberd ever, it's a rare occasion. Usually it falls to me slashing away while he blocks the attacks for us.
"Then let's do i-
Immediately cutting Lena off was the same claymore the demon had which was now slashing down before her eyes. But before it could hit her a beam of light had come between her and the sword.
Bang!!!! The sword hit a field in front of her and bounced back towards the demon.
"Hmm so you do have some tricks up your sleeve." The demon says while glaring at Koichi.
Koichi has used a paladin skill. "B Class Skill divine protection." Which does exactly what you'd think it does. Protects the user or the person the user casts it on.
"My goddess will keep me and my friends safe. You will die here for the better good." Koichi speaks with a respectful tone.
I can't believe he casted that within that short span of time but I'm glad he did. I'm also surprised he is being respectful but I guess it's normal with him.
Paladins.
Without another second passing by the demon had appeared next to Koichi and slashed down his blade once again.
Clang!!!!! Clang!!!! The demon was hitting harder and harder with each attack against his shield. Koichi was tanking the attacks with ease but his shield was taking immense amounts of damage each time it was struck.
"Fighting with such anger won't give you this victory." Koichi says with confidence.
I didn't know the best way to attack here since this demon definitely has a lot more speed than we could've anticipated. It was also striking with a sword like that with no problems whatsoever.
Double teaming it could still be a really smart idea right now so maybe it's the best thing to do.
Dash!! Lena began running towards the demon but before she got close, Koichi shouted at her. "I got this. Just wait for my que!" Koichi shouts while starting to swing his halberd.
The halberd immediately connected with the demons shoulder and blood could be seen spilling from its shoulder.
"That was a good play on your part but it gives me the chance to do this." The Demon says before smashing Koichi's shield.
His shield got hit to the side and the demon brought his sword down towards Koichi once again. Slash!!!!! The blade had cut right through his chest plate and a large gash could be seen on his chest.
"Koichi!!" Lena shouts with worry in her voice.
The battle was now back with Naoki who was starting to get the upper hand on the demon captain known as Kami.
Bang!!! Clang!!! Slash!!!!!! Steel was clashing between one another, blades hitting against each other and Naoki finally landed a good hit against the captain.
Naoki's second sword had cut right through the side of Kami's ribs and made a major gash that started to spurt out a bit of blood.
"That attack, how did you manage to cut through my armor!?!" Kami questioned with disbelief.
"You know all about me but yet you don't understand how my skills or weapons work. That'll be your downfall, not mine." Naoki responds while dashing in for another attack.
Bringing his swords down towards Kami's chest he made sure that the attacks would put him on defense. Forcing the captain to fall back a bit without realizing it.
"I'll be able to end this in the next attack." Naoki thinks to himself as he begins to activate his skill.
Naoki is about to use his "A Class skill. Redemption." A skill used to kill those with evil intent if landed right, if not, it can wound them greatly.
Pierce! His first sword had gone right through the captains gut while the second sword just pierced through his chest.
"Redemption is something that you could only hope for." Naoki says as beams of white light begin to emit from his swords.
Flash!!!! All that could be seen before them was a bright light that kept anyone from seeing anything. The demon could see an image of wings behind Naoki before blood began to paint the ground under him.
"The angel of death is really before me." Kami says as he falls to his knees.
Drip. Drip. Blood was all that could be heard hitting the ground as the demon kneeled on the ground.
"That is what they all call me. I never understood it, but I'll never have an issue with it. You all deserve death either way and I'll be happy to deliver it each time." Naoki speaks with a serious tone in his voice.
He pulled the blades out and within a swift motion he had taken Kami's head. Thud. Thud.
Both his body and head had fallen onto the floor before Naoki started walking towards the others.
Koichi can be seen fighting once again, against the captain that didn't even struggle with a halberd in his shoulder.
Clash!!! Swoosh!!! Shockwaves were starting to get stronger and stronger each time that Koichi and The Captain fought.
"Being able to keep up while injured is a fun experience, wouldn't you agree?" The Captain says with a manical smile on his face.
"You are a crazy one aren't you." Koichi says while wincing in pain.
I need to help him.
Lena gets ready to dash in once again.
