The demon was fully healed in seconds, his clenched his broad sword tighter as he went on the offensive, moving so fast it would be impossible for a normal person to be able to follow with their eyes. Yun Fao jumped off the spear while Alex moved to the side, the demon smashed his arm to the left, right into the chest of Alex who was thrown backwards, his body rolling on the cobbled street like a rag doll. Yun Fao came down from the sky, his Sabre sizzling in electrical currents as he slashed at the demon from one side of his body to the other.However all he did was hiss a bit in anger as he took a step back and slammed his leg forward. Yun Fao crossed his blade across his body as the Demon"s foot slammed into it with a dull bang, Yun Fao was thrown backwards, but it was in that moment Louis moved forward, smashing his Rapiers together as they released a loud ringing sound, quickly followed by a ma.s.sive flash of light that forced the demon to tell out in discomfort. The triplets made their move as their whip fell from the sky, it"s sharpened edge gleaming a dull and sickly green, as it smashed through the body of the Demon, pushing it backwards for about three meters.
Louis moved to push his advantage, stabbing both his Rapiers at the head of the Demon in rapid succession, however every move he made was evaded by the demon, who promptly slashed his broad sword at Louis. But the young man already knew that something was off with the way this demon fought, so he had already retreated, however there was more than enough power behind the swing to cause a shockwave that blasted him backwards and raised a small cloud of dust. The demon shook his body in utter revulsion at the sight of dust, before moving forwards towards Louis with the intent to kill.
Louis had landed on his a.s.s, but had no time to get up back up to his feet when the demon leaped up and brought the broad sword down. Louis"s eyes widened in shock as his body froze for a second, but Alex was already there, sporting a rather nasty cut on his head. He didn"t think too much as he slammed his shoulder and entire body into the Demon"s, spearing him from the air and bringing his bulky body to the ground with a loud thud. The demon in abject anger used one of his hands to grab a fist full of Alex"s hair, and then threw away like he weighed nothing, but none the less he was right where they wanted him.
The triplets whip came smashing down from the heavens, this time the illusory form of a green dragon was wrapped around it, but it was more like a very scaled snake than a dragon. It moved it"s head in much the same manner as a snake would, striking into the chest of the demon the moment he threw Alex away, two green fangs pierced into it"s chest, and was then promptly dragged downwards exposing his insides as two b.l.o.o.d.y incisions were made. He rolled to the side roaring in anger and maybe a little bit of pain, but Yun Fao was already there with his Sabre slashing for his neck.
He ducked down a bit and threw a lunch out with one of his hands, which was the opening that Louis was also looking for. Just Like Yun Fao he made to slice off the head of the demon with his thin blades, the demon dodged again, but Louis expected this, he wasn"t aiming for the demons head anyways as his rapiers sliced through it"s tentacle feelers, effectively giving the demon a much needed haircut, and a very b.l.o.o.d.y one at that. The boys retreated as the demon used two of it"s free hands to clutch it"s head.
"ARGHHHHHHHHH!! HAHAHAHA ARGHHHHHHHHH! NNNGGGHHHH AHHHHHH!"
His screams of pain were definitely nerve grating and extremely loud, in fact they all expected that the demons that have been standing aside so far would come to help their commander, but instead they just stood there watching.
Their forms so still it was as if they"ve become nothing more than living statues. And it was in that manner that the others understood the moved that Louis had just made, even when blinded the demon commander was still able to move and evade their strikes by relying on those feelers of his. They were like Antennas, and they received signals that helped him move and perceive movements, he didn"t need eyes to fight.
This was the same with the other demons as he also used this to send them messages if orders, but with it injured it gave them a much needed time to deal as much damage as they could to the demon. As he clutched his head in pain Alex rushed towards him, the shadow of an eagle behind his back as Alex seemed to fly around, with much more finesse than expected, it has been a while since he utilized (The Six king of beasts) movement art, but it was still as graceful as the first time he used it. Alex smashed his spear into the head of the demon, moving back and slicing it upwards to deflect the incoming strike from the demon commander"s broad sword.
This was an exchange of strength, and Alex definitely lost as he was thrown backwards, but this was a tactic they"ve all silently came up and agreed with on the spot. One person would take a bit and attract the Demon"s attention while the others pressed the advantage and cause as much damage as possible, which was exactly what they did as the triplets wrapped their whip around the Demon commander"s right leg, it foiled around it like a snake and with one forceful wrench, the leg was shredded to pieces of minced flesh all the way down to the bone, forcing the demon down to one knee.
He stabbed his broad sword into the ground in reflex, making his first mistake as Louis showed in front of him and smashed his Rapiers together again, creating another flash of light, however the demon commander was prepared as he closed his eyes and crossed two of his arms over his face.
"the same truck won"t wont work on me boy!" He bellowed out in rage, but all Louis did was laugh and move back as Yun Fao answered him.
"Whoever said it was the same trick!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his Sabre stabbed down from the Demon"s back, going right in from the top of his spine. There was a grating sound as the serrated edge of the Autumn Dao sc.r.a.ped against the sound of the demon commander. It was so loud that they all couldn"t help cringing as a chill suffused their bodies. The demon roared out in pain and stood up, releasing a blast of dark demonic energy that pushed Yun Fao backwards leaving his Autumn Dao still stuck in the back of the demon commander.
However it was in that moment that Alex made his final move, his fire mask blazed on his face as his hair grew longer, turning into a wild green that seemed to burn with both the calmness of the eye of a storm and the fury of a typhoon.
The spear in his hand spun rapidly as he stabbed it straight into the chest of the demon, the demon commander held the spear with his hands, but Alex wasn"t stopping as he began pushing against the demon, cracking the pavement beneath his feet as both man and demon roared out in anger and pain.
Alex spun the spear one more time, letting the scales on it expand, shredding the demons palms as he stabbed it into it"s chest, right at the place where it"s demonic core was located. And then a ma.s.sive display of strength, Alex and Yun Fao who had suddenly made his way behind him, held the spear tightly as they raised the demon into the air, his black blood spilling all over their face, but still this wasn"t enough as two b.a.l.l.s of blackish red energy was shot out of the demons palm, slamming into Alex"s chest in rapid succession, forcing him to let go of the spear as he slammed back into Yun Fao, blood spilling out of his mouth.
Alex could feel his chest burning and blood rapidly filling his lungs, his ribs were shattered and he was sure he had a serious case of internal bleeding. His vision was hazy, and he was sure he would pa.s.s out any second, but he still kept his gaze on the demon as it stood up and looked at them, just as b.l.o.o.d.y and just as injured, however he was healing albeit a bit slower than normal.
"You efforts are commendable, I"ve not been pushed into such dire straits since I was a hatchling, but yet here we are. My name is Morin the clean, remember my name as you take it to your death, I will do well to remember all of your names too while I feast on your corpses." As he finished speaking he removed the spear from his chest, completely ignoring the fact that the weapon had absorbed quite a bit of his blood. Alex struggled to his feet with Yun Fao helping him up.
"It was nice meeting you "Moron" but you can die now...…Khan! Now!" apart from calling him a different name than he introduced himself as, Alex watched in satisfaction as the demon commander"s chest blew apart, and a bloodied but still happy looking Khan came out of his chest cavity with a rough been black stone in his mouth, and a still beating heart in his hand. The demon Morin looked horrified as he looked at Alex.
"You!...when.....how!....(thud!)" his body crashed to the ground, rapidly turning grey before subsequently turning into dust and being blown with the wind.
"You really shouldn"t underestimate human beings, but that"s understandable we"re not exactly the strongest or the brightest. But we fight the hardest and your mistake, was underestimating my family."
As soon as Alex finishes speaking, there was a bright flash of light coming from the location of the Plaza. The beam of light coming from that location disappeared and immediately following that, hundreds of demons, both on land and in the air, fell down dead, their bodies littering the pristine city of Macau. Whatever was going here, Alex knew that he and his friends had bought everyone some very valuable time, now they could properly out up a fight and kick some demon a.s.s. Alex looked up at the ma.s.sive spell circle that was still above the city, and then he said.
"Its midnight!..."
