Chapter 164 Losing Battle
Using Infernal Wrath with the anger Scorch had gathered from being hit so much, he raised it with his two buffs, Flame Aura and Molten Scales, to both empower the mana around him to produce intense flames before using Burst Charge to deliver a definitive hit with his head.
As Scorch rushed forth, everyone jumped back. The intense heat could be felt even a few meters away. It was like being inside a volcano, making everyone retreat as fast as possible.
The opponent did not sit idle either. He tried moving, but Logan and Voltar had a little surprise in the form of webs around him. This time, they were hidden through Marie's magic, which concealed the trap with an illusion.
Serana did not stay idle either. Her Shadow Bind spell created tendrils to keep the demon in place as Scorch rushed forward. His speed was enhanced by flame energy as he hit the demon, sending him flying, half his figure seared. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
Logan was not going to let this chance escape; he did not want the demon to heal, so he used Cyclone Vortex to keep him in the air with a large vortex of wind that had wind blades continuously cutting through the demon's skin.
No one could get close, so they cast magic to enhance the wind. Scorch's Flame Breath, Voltar's Electrical Field, and finally, Serana helped by using Blades of Blood.
Everyone was tired after half a minute of continuously using their skills. Logan, by then, stopped his control over the wind and took a look while breathing roughly. He took out some mana water to replenish his mana while watching the body of the demon fall to the ground.
The demon looked battered, cut, and burned, but it slowly stood up as if it did not feel the pain it should have been experiencing with all the damage dealt to it.
"Kid, you better hurry if you're going to do something. You only have a few… oh wait, never mind haha."
Everyone heard the voice of Zaryx acting as if he was going to give useful advice, but they saw how the demon Ragnar, who they were fighting, began to heal. His wounds were clearing fast as his body shrunk, as if he was using his own mass to recover himself.
Shrinking to two meters tall, he was still large for a person as most of the bulk from before vanished.
"Get ready!" Logan yelled as the demon rushed forward. This time, his speed had increased, and he went for Logan again. Everyone moved to defend the boy as they had before.
Logan used water and ice attacks this time, casting Aqua Burst before him and Glacial Armor to protect himself. This halved the damage as the demon's fist struck forward, hitting Logan on the shoulder. The boy tumbled back a few meters, his armor torn.
Voltar struck the demon's back in retaliation, sending four Thunder Strikes with each clash of his two scythes. Serana, a little frenzied by the smell of blood, turned to her Garmr form to bite off a chunk from the demon's arm. Her fangs tore through the skin with ease, and as blood gushed, her crazed mind went into overdrive.
Her powerful paws slashed while she took another bite to tear a piece from the demon's thighs.
Scorch, on the other hand, went back to check and protect Logan, who was shaking his head in confusion and trying to heal himself. He felt blood in his mouth, meaning the hit had injured something within him beyond just the concussion.
Kryst tried to jump in, but Zaryx warped to her and flicked her away. He was not going to let anyone besides those Logan designated enter the fight.
Those who were staring from afar shivered, seeing the speed with which Zaryx reached Kryst. They saw Zephyr quickly fly towards Kryst to catch her slime form, which seemed to be hurt.
Logan watched the demon who had hurt one of his monsters and breathed a few times in anger. Adrenaline pumped through his veins at a speed that helped him recover some of his thinking capabilities. He used Lisa's Healing Light mixed with Kryst's Healing Touch to speed up the process.
The boy wanted to do something about Zaryx but knew that the other demon took precedence. His gaze wandered towards Regar, who stood nearly at his original size after healing himself various times to keep up with Serana, who was in her feral mode.
"Serana, stop!" Logan tried calling Serana back, as in that mode she did not seem to think as well as she should. It was too late, though.
The girl was punched three times in three places: her jaw, her chest, and finally her stomach, sending her back. As for Voltar, his scythes were grabbed before he could slash; they managed to cut a hand off, but at the cost of one scythe being torn off.
"Scorch, go! I am better now. Use your Searing Whip to make room for Voltar to escape," Logan said as he rushed to help Serana, who had changed into her human form as she landed unconscious.
Logan rushed to the girl and checked on her injuries. Her breath was labored, but luckily she was still alive.
He knew blood would help, so he used his hand, which was dripping with blood from the injury in his shoulder. Logan could only hope this helped and even took out some mana water to pour a little into her mouth, hoping that with both she would heal a little faster.
"Logan… I can't anymore…" Serana's eyes tried to look at him as she took in the droplets, which helped her rapid healing, but she knew she was out of the battle.
"Don't worry, you did well… the damn demon is even shorter than me now. You did your part…" Logan caressed her face, nodding in understanding.
What Logan did not notice was that Scarlet, in the form of a bracelet, felt his need for strength. She had only three functions so far: protect the city, which was safe; watch the kingdom, which was boring; and be with Logan, observing but never able to help.
She was tired of this role, especially when she was the first tamed. She should have been the strongest, and she wanted that strength now more than ever. Being near Serana's blood, that could happen.@@novelbin@@
