A Demon's Journey

Chapter 251 - David Vs Edwin

David and Edwin continued to gauge each other. Edwin soon reverted to his true form, where his muscles had shrunk to their original size.

Edwin had a feeling that he had to fight seriously or else he might even regret it.

David's aura was slowly rising to its peak as he remained in his position. According to his battle instincts, the man ahead was far beyond any opponent he had ever faced. If he was even slightly careless, he would suffer greatly!

David soon raised his hand and pointed his finger at Edwin. He ordered, "All of you, get away. This will be my fight!"

Andre's guards were surprised to hear those orders. They looked in Andre's direction and saw their master nodding in agreement.

Edwin noticed that David was building up a great amount of Gold Elemental Energy within that finger.

"Golden Solar Finger!"

An intense golden beam of pure Gold Elemental Energy was launched at Edwin. It was quick and possessing a piercing power!

Edwin launched towards David as he created a Wind Sphere to block that beam from striking his body.

When the Gold Elemental Energy struck that Wind Sphere, Edwin experienced a massive shockwave.

He increased the energy he used in the Wind Sphere and moved towards David.

David Valliadis frowned as he saw Edwin pushing past his Golden Solar Finger. He realized this attack wasn't enough to deal with this enemy.

He unfolded two more of his fingers and pointed them in Edwin's direction.

"Twin Golden Solar Finger!"

Soon enough, the two more beams of pure Golden Element were launched at Edwin. These beams were thicker and appeared to be as intense as the Beam launched previously.

Edwin's eyes widened slightly as he couldn't create a durable defensive barrier in time.

He controlled the Aero Dragon that immediately appeared and blocked those two beams for Edwin.

Although these two golden energy beams pierced the Aero Dragon's Body rather easily, their direction was slightly deflected and failed to strike Edwin's body.

The Aero Dragon soon dispersed after it was struck with those Golden Beams.

Currently, that Majestic Golden Lion's Avatar was rushing towards Edwin with a ferocious look on its face.

"…I was arrogant to think I could win against you just by using my wind element," Edwin whispered to himself.

Hell Flames released from Edwin's body as he immediately whispered the name of his next technique, "Hell Dragon!"

A long dragon of pure Hell Flames was formed. As soon as it was formed, it clashed against the Golden Lion.

When the two clashed, no shockwave occurred. The shocking thing was that the Majestic Lion's body had begun to shatter.

David Valliadis and Andre Valliadis were shocked to see those flames. They exclaimed at the same time, "Demonic Flames!"

Edwin's body was enveloped by a great amount of Hell Flames, and he immediately rushed towards David.

David couldn't block him using those Solar Finger attacks. Instead, he fixed his feet on the ground and readied his body to fight against Edwin in close combat.

The Gold Element was considerably strengthening his physique. The Gold Element's increased power, along with his Bloodline Ability, quickly bridged the gap between his Ardor and Edwin's.

Edwin threw out a punch at David, which was quickly blocked. David then launched a double kick at Edwin while rotating his body.

Edwin blocked those two kicks by raising his left arm. He was waiting for the combo to end before he could counter-attack.

As soon as he felt David's second kick striking his left arm, Edwin unleashed a massive quantity of flames from his right foot.

Edwin then whispered, "Flame Wheel!"

Edwin's entire body rotated as he launched multiple kicks at David. David had no choice but to block them while stepping back.

He found these Hell Flames quite strange. They would break his Gold Elemental Armor easily, and he would have to consciously reinforce it with his Ardor, or else he would be gravely injured by a single kick from Edwin.

Edwin finished that Flame Wheel attack by kicking David's chest.

David was pushed back by ten or so steps. Some blood leaked out of his mouth as he tried to shrug off the pain.

Edwin then soon moved forwards, increasing his speed with the Hell Flames around him.

The momentum was on his side, and he could defeat David if this continued.

David was aware of this fact as well. So when he saw Edwin coming towards him, he strongly pressed the ground.

Multiple Golden Beams were launched at Edwin. They were so quick that Edwin had no time to react.

They immediately pushed Edwin away and prevented him from reaching David's body.

David's motive for using this attack wasn't to harm Edwin. He knew that an attack of this caliber wouldn't be able to accomplish that. He just wanted some time to catch his breath.

A couple of seconds later, Edwin had already managed to pass those Golden Beams.

Meanwhile, Edwin's Hell Dragon had already defeated that Majestic Golden Lion Avatar and was now charging towards David.

David closed his eyes as he concentrated deeply. He had already estimated the time it would take for Edwin and his Hell Dragon to reach him and was prepared.

"…Vermillion Lotus!" David's eyes snapped open as he stared at Edwin. There was a red-colored flame lotus forming ahead of his hands.

Edwin's eyes widened in shock as he saw those Vermillion Flames! He immediately recognized them 'The Phoenix's Flames?! Not just the Gold Element, but he is even a Phoenix's Inheritor?!'

The Vermillion Colored Lotus was expanding rapidly. Soon, it was large enough to form a shield ahead of David.

Edwin and his Hell Flame Dragon clashed against that Vermillion Colored Lotus. Edwin sensed the laws of his Hell Flames clashing with the laws present in that Vermillion Flames.

The laws returned to nothingness after clashing.

'…Phoenix Flames combined with this irritating bloodline and that Fate Energy. A very annoying combo this is.'

'Humans have developed by leaps and bounds, really. To think some humans can inherit Phoenix's Flames. My knowledge and abilities are outdated compared to these Royal Bloodline Inheritors. Just who is behind this evolution?'

While fighting, Edwin didn't know why he was thinking about these random things. But he was becoming very curious about this now.

David suddenly spoke up at this moment, "This Lotus won't hold out for long. But I am curious… Why were you attacking my brothers? What sort of grudge do you have against us?"

"…I had nothing better to do," Edwin shrugged in response.

"…You killed my brother and then attacked another because you had nothing better to do? That was your reason?" David's voice turned cold for the first time since he had arrived.

Edwin noticed that furious look on David's face. He grinned sinisterly and spoke, "That's right. I got to say, the Third Prince managed to endure the torture for quite long before he died. I was wondering how long the fifth prince would survive."

David's aura became calmer in response to Edwin's answer. He whispered calmly, "Very well, this means I don't need to feel guilty about crushing you."

An even oppressive aura was released from David's body in response to his words. He was absolutely serious now!
