SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Chapter 864 The Last Demons

?

"He only lasted thirty minutes, eh? That's disappointing." Edward muttered as he looked at the ashen Beast King.

His body was already fading with the wind—nothing more than burnt ash.

"I suppose I'm done here. The others should be done by now too." He smiled, unsheathing his blade. While the revenge he enacted wasn't for himself, Edward still felt good about it.

His white hair turned back to its normal color, and his eyes also reverted. He shut them and smiled, allowing himself a brief moment of peace and silence in the raging battlefield.

[Moments Earlier]

"Bitch, surrender now and I'll consider sparing you. I haven't done 'it' with a fellow Demon in so long now. Become mine and I'll spare your life."

The one who uttered these crass words was none other than Abellion, the Demon Prince that sold off his people to Jared in exchange for power and recognition. He had zero loyalty towards his people, and was rather content being one of Jared's Generals as they conquered the known world.

Watching him utter these words, Karlia felt sick to her stomach. She wanted to vomit in disgust, but she controlled herself, limiting her expression to a mere glare.

'All my family… my friends… our kind ruler… they were all killed by him.'

Yet, the bastard called Abellion kept flapping his gums as if his actions were too flippant to be bothered with. It enraged Karlia the more she thought about it.

"So, what do you say, bitch? Become my whore!"

Karlia had no response for this man. To be honest, she would prefer it if he suffered for all of eternity, what would that solve in the end?

The past was in the past.

She had managed to survive the carnage, and she was able to find love and peace with Neron. She had a new family thanks to the Outgroup, and her purpose had never been clearer.

There was no way an imbecile like this was going to take any of those away from her.

"Time to use my Arcana Spell…" She whispered, her right palm glowing with something akin to a tattoo.

"Oh? So you want to fight, eh? Very well, bitch! Taste this! [Hellfire of—]"

"[Spellcraft]"

The Magic Circle that was already forming in front of Abellion instantly evaporated, producing nothing but tiny sparks that could hardly light up anything.

"W-what—?!"

"I'll end this quickly…"

In a flash, something that caused Abellion's eyes to pop wide open in shock occurred. It manifested as a very bright core that traveled high into the sky.

Suddenly, every scrap and metal part on the battlefield began to gather to the white light. The process was scary fast, and it attracted everything in moments.

"Add a little bit of fire, and then lightning, wind too, and water…"

The sky above her produced torrents of lightning that struck the convergence of so much matter, and it burst into flames. Water suddenly appeared around the bulky mix of weird elements, and a swirling wind gathered around it.

The power was akin to a freakish storm that remained suspended in the sky.

"W-what is… what is that?!"

"It's nothing. Just an unstable mix of multiple elements, some conflicting. They need a makeover." She raised her hand to the sky, causing the bright tattoo on her palm to glow even brighter.

"[Arcana Spell: The Lovers]"

In response to her words, the massive bulk in the sky glowed. The elements began to merge with one another, fusing to form something new. Something better.

Within a moment, a new object now hung in the sky. It was a perfectly smooth and round mass the size of a small mountain.

The huge sphere had a rainbow-colored light shrouding it, and it menacingly stood high in the sky.

"What are you doing?" Abellion growled, trying once more to kill Karlia with his Spell.

Unfortunately, it kept dissipating before he could complete it. Was this the result of a Spell of hers? In that case…

Abellion rushed towards Karlia, most likely intending to defeat her in a melee before she could complete what she had going for her in the sky.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Karlia advised, however, Abellion quickened his pace instead, hands stretched out to kill her.

>SQUELCH!<

In one swift strike, Abellion's whole body was pierced from the top of his head, through his torso, and out through his nether region.

"G-guughhhh…." Blood gushed out of Abellion, creating a pool underneath him.

His body throbbed slightly, as the little embers of life within him were being snuffed out.

In that brief moment, he was able to experience an incomprehensible amount of pain. The sharp, energy-filled spike completely crushed his brain, heart, and vital organs in its assault, leaving a completely mangled corpse in its wake.

"I told you not to move…" Karlia smiled as she looked at her toy that hung above.

It was from the orb that that massive spike came from. Like judgment from heaven, it sent an extension of itself to pierce Abellion in the most surefire way to kill him.

'By mixing multiple elements, I can account for the elemental resistances the targets might have. Plus, with its sturdy body made of condensed metal, it should be dense enough to pierce anything.'

Abellion was only one of her many targets, so she completely ignored his lifeless body as it plopped into his own bloody pool.

"B-bitch…." She heard his passing statement as he lost his life, but didn't bother about it.

Those were idiotic words coming from an idiotic man.

"Alright. Let's see the limits of this new creation." Karlia looked at her malleable, yet immensely dense orb.

"Eliminate as many registered enemies as you can." Since the construct was linked to Karlia, it would be able to determine the enemy forces, and separate them from their allies.

Plus, with its swift attack pattern, most enemies wouldn't even see the attack coming.

"Initiate assault." Her lips curled upward, forming a near-evil grin.

Killing the bad guys was always fun!
