Fia quickly turned around and took the sword she hadn't yet drawn.
Fia's sword was bright red almost like a crimson moon.
'Tsk, so it's true when they say demons are hard to die' Fia thought as she slightly slid the demon's sword. With a powerful kick to the stomach she sent him back, but the demon attacked even more ferociously and quickly.
'There's something wrong I'm sure, his attacks, his speed, are irregular it seems like...' Fia opened her mouth as she thought and said: "That he went berserk."
Demons have a unique ability that is their ace. [Berserker] is a unique ability of demons and half-demons, the ability consists of strengthening the demon but the cost of using it is high.
The cost in question can be two or life or losing organs, the higher the sacrifice is the stronger the ability is.
The demon gave up his conscience and his heart to activate the berserk ability, if he remains alive for now it is the ability that is "supporting" him as soon as the effect ends the demon will die instantly.
'Tsk, I didn't expect him to use that ability' Fia thought trying to parry the blows but she couldn't parry some and she slightly injured her shoulders and hips.
'Shit!' Fia shot a small curse in her head while she was pushed back slowly by the berserk demon.
Watching the scene Maxwell was shaking slightly in fear, he was afraid, he felt that sense of impotence in front of someone again.
"Oi! Prince! Get a fucking move on and don't just stand there watching, or I swear I'll kill you!" Fia shouted at Maxwell who was still shaking. After hearing what Fia said Maxwell started laughing slightly.
"The fuck do you find this funny?!" Fia yelled at him who continued to laugh. While Maxwell was laughing a black figure with red eyes approached him it was the demon that was heading towards him, Maxwell was slightly scared but reacted in time and blocked the demon.
Sparks from the clash between Maxwell's shield and the demon's sword were generated.
C-crack!
A slight crack was audible, the golden wing of the shield was slightly cracked. 'Shit I'm sure it won't hold for long' Maxwell gritted his teeth while with a slightly angry expression he looked at the black shield that seemed about to be destroyed.
Maxwell tried to block some blows without using the shield to avoid destroying it.
A slight murmur came out of Maxwell's mouth and said: "Zurd the warrior of the north, manifest yourself on my sword."
Maxwell's sword turned light blue like ice but it wasn't cold in fact it was hot, with a precise blow he cut the demon who experienced hot and cold at the same time.
The demon without conscience didn't care and continued to attack Maxwell who was still struggling to block the blows he was always using his sword to try to block but he was having an extremely hard time.
From a slight distance Fia was drinking a mana potion, her pupils dilated seeing the scene but above all the sword, suddenly a lightning bolt reverberated in his head and I remembered something and she said: "Zurd the warrior of the north, one of the strongest humans of ancient times who became an archetype, It is said that his hair was a dark brown very similar to black, his eyes were emerald green, he favored katanas, it is also said that he traveled with a kimono and a canteen of alcohol a real samurai they called him. His legend says that he killed a unique dragon that was able to use ice and fire a practically illogical entity because it would not be possible for it to exist, it is said that when he killed it he found a sword from its carcasses close to the heart, but many say it was the dragon's core that had turned into a sword.
"That sword is said to be a relic, a rare object rarer than a core something that costs a lot, it is said that Zurd took that sword to the grave and merged with himself. When he became an archetype, whoever materialized his weapon had the characteristics of that legendary weapon but only a part of the true power of that weapon, but it is said that by improving its archetype we get closer to the true power of the sword but it is not one hundred percent certain.
"Legend also says that Zurd killed a demon prince with that sword but there is no proof, however it still makes it clear that he is among the strongest humans in the history of hunting.
"I remember reading his story, it's very famous and children like it a lot, that story teaches a lot and also there's one of the sentences that changed the world of hunting.
"Victory is nothing but an illusion, victory is useless, it only serves to boost one's ego and convince oneself that one is stronger than anyone else."
Fia laughed lightly and continued: " Zurd was absolutely right, victory is useless because you don't learn anything from always winning. I wonder if we could have become friends, the two of us.Maybe he even had some interesting archetypes"
Fia raise her head slightly looked enviously at Maxwell and his sword and said, lowering her head and in a low voice: "Lucky you that you can materialize your archetype, I still can't."
Watching the fight Fia slightly lowered her guard. The demon quickly turned his head and disappeared from Maxwell's sight and the demon teleported behind her and hit her from behind on her shoulder near the heart but it doesn't hit the heart for strange reasons.
"Shit!" she screamed blood came out of his mouth a bit blood end the skin of her mouth as she was losing consciousness a mystical voice echoed in her head and it got louder and louder and louder and louder and that voice seemed to become the voice of a person but distorted.
Author Notes: Hi guys :) I wanted to apologize if by chance the chapters are still too short for you readers, as I said I will try to make them longer but I can't guarantee anything but I assure you that I will try to keep the average of 900 words per chapter maybe over time the chapters will become longer.
