The Great Demon System

Chapter 254 - MUTE

Chapter 254: MUTE

*Crash* *Crash* *Crash*

2 flashing figures flew in the air, their speed so drastic that the normal human eye would have trouble to even pick up on it, ripples forming in the air, shaking the ground below from the impact of their immense strikes.

? Avilia! This is pathetic! This KID is pathetic! Give up and join me instead! I can provide you with all the power! All the information you will ever want! I did not tell you the full story! Let's join forces and rule the 3 realms together!! ?

? I would rather die than join the likes of you! ?

Deep down, Moby and Avilia knew that it was all over… They would not last for long, their opponent was simply too strong. Yet, with Moby's fully rage-filled mind and Avilia's more rational yet still determined approach combined, there was no room in their minds for doubt or futile retreat as they wanted to see the shalker pay.

Arksha seemed to have stopped most of his toying around, most of the things that previously used to affect him like Avilia switching into control and talking to him no longer working as he wanted to get his way and get the human-made demon gone from his lord as he had probably corrupted her mind.

He had stopped toying around, and Moby no longer had anything to do now that he had stopped holding back…

Yet, that did not stop him from going into dangerous situations almost like he was invincible, because he thought that he was indeed invincible as the shalker wanted him alive no matter what.

[ Bind ]

[ Enhance ]

As the 2 foes rushed each other for the last time, one clearly more injured and desperate than the other, Moby lifted and waved his hands into various symbols, chains and a wave of gravity going around the shalker's body, slowing down his movement yet not for long as the chains began to crack.

? Pathetic! This desperate play won't work on me! ?

[ Black Hole ]

[ Enhance! ]

With a snap of his fingers, a small hole emerged from behind Arksha, pushing and sucking him back into it. He was using everything in his power to end things, his power only growing further throughout the fight as Avilia became more and more used to using Moby's body.

? Feeble! Is this all you've got!? ?

By simply thrusting his chest forward with a burst of energy, everything around him was dispelled, now thrusting his blade straight toward's Moby's approaching body slower than usual from everything that had just happened.

Yet still, It was a direct hit, struck straight in the chest, putting a smile on his face that did not last for long as that body at the tip of his blade disappeared into pure smoke.

? Clone!? ?

[ Astral Shift ]

All that the shalker saw was a flash of purple was a body moving into the darkness of his sightless left eye's blind spot as he felt a piercing painstab? into it.

? AHHHHH! ?

He roared, feeling genuine pain for the first time in the entire battle.

? What!? How am I not piercing your brain?! ?

For some odd reason, his blade barely went through Arksha's blinded eye before being abruptly stopped by what seemed like an iron barrier, his blade far away from the brain. It just went to show the difference in power between them… Even when they took advantage of an odd weakness that he had, he was still too weak to even pierce that…

? That's it! You're done! Attacking my medal of honour! ?

With a simple flick of his wrist, Moby's blade was taken out of Arksha's eyes, hitting him straight in the ribs of his black, energy-filled body, breaking them and making them puncture his lungs as he spat a mouth full of blood on the shalker's visage that he licked up with a disturbing smile looking at Moby's face of painfilled determination as he clasped his hands into a fist and thrust down at him, breaking almost every bone in his body with what seemed like a light touch as he crashed into a massive crater on the ground, immense energy flowing into his body as he stared up with blurry vision, still unable to move.

*Cough*

'T-this is so impossible… Is this how I die? Dying in the blood of my own idiocy and choices…'

He thought, looking slowly at the heavily panting, smiling shalker, his blinded eye-bleeding profusely from the sword wound that Moby had just inflicted.

'Lord Avilia! Lord Avilia! Can you hear me?'

Moby's eyes grew wide hearing that voice, so familiar yet so mysterious at the same time.

'Who are you!?'

'My Lady… I am so happy to once again hear your voice… This is vampire lord Alucard here to serve you,'

'WHAT!? Alucard!? It's really you!? But how?'

Avilia seemed to be in disbelief hearing his words, like talking to a part of her past or a lost piece of her soul, many emotions running in her mind that was still focused on the enemy ahead of her, Moby's consciousness that she suppressed thinking that it was the dead Alex somehow speaking.

'It's a long story my lord and there is no time now! I am here to inform you that human reinforcements have arrived, It should not be too long until they get to your location. I recommend you stall until then,'

Moby and Avilia's mind were in immense turmoil, unable to think about how that was even possible yet dividing to trust this unknown voice in a complete panic as they were low on time, yet the hope and disbelief in their heart was clear.

'Got it! And, Alucard, do not expose anything about my identity to the group, that is very important, even if you are commanded! Understood?'

Avilia spoke quickly and seriously, like such a point was very important to her, most of her attention on casting a spell, a high energy-consuming spell that would drain her completely from every drop of energy she had, secretly waving hand signs behind her back.

'Yes, understood my lady, I had only revealed a small part of your identity but nothing too major… I beg for your forgiveness,'

'Alucard! Leave! I need to focus! We will discuss this later! I have a lot to talk about with you including why you are even here and about Shadar…'

'Understood my lady, I shall do as you command! I am awaiting your imminent victory,'

With no hesitation, as soon as the mind-link was closed, Moby's face still dead serious, he spoke at the shalker's figure ahead, his moving hands still behind his back.

? Shit! Fuck! How are you so strong… Even with all my skills, I couldn't beat you! ?

? A human such as you would never understand! Even with Avilia's powers and a dragon bloodline, you were simply too weak… Once a human will always be a human ?

? Ha! Tough talk! You really making fun of me when you have a permanent scar on the eye? You seem even more pathetic than this pathetic human you're talking to! ?

Moby's voice was heavily panting, painfilled which reflected the state his torn body was in.

? How dare you! I can heal this wound on a whim! This is simply a medal of honour from my great battle against one of the shalker leaders where I came out victorious! You would never understand! ?

? Sounds fairly barbaric for a species of warriors and intelligent scientists! ?

Through many years of training, Avilia had mastered the art of annoying and getting under people's noses all in the name of survival to increase the benefits of her sin mode. Yet, this time, using it for power was only part of her purpose, the main purpose was to stall for her spell to complete, a spell that was 100% needed, and for reinforcements to arrive until it was finally time…

? I will not stand for such slander and mockery! Avilia, if it was you in control I heavily apologize, but this is all in order to save you and for your own good! ?

He stomped on Moby's already broken, mushy stomach as buckets of blood escaped his shadowy face and onto the ground before he was picked up by his hair, the shalker staring at his dead-looking eyes as he spoke.

? It's over… Now we're leaving… Don't worry Avilia… We will be partners very soon… ?

Yet, the entire time the shalker was talking, Avilia had not ceased her spell, her hands still waving behind Moby's back before she thrust them forward and yelled, activating it with all her might.

[ MUTE! ]
