Chapter 231 Going All Out
Chapter 231 Going All Out
-----
The power that Blake unleashed was one of his strongest techniques, which he had yet to name, but it was merely enhancing his spear with a lot of demonic energy and Blood Ki to unleash a slashing burst attack. Coupled with the debuff to Erdrich's stats provoked by [Intimidation], it was more than capable of putting down the half-demon boy, especially because his body was sustaining an immense burden through the incredibly strong transformation he was using.
Blake knew how to weaken his enemies before striking them down, it was a strategy he always used against strong foes, it was most of the time impossible to overpower a stronger enemy with just sheer will, and it was something only portrayed in fantasy books. He knew very well that to strike down big guys, he had to play it nasty.
And aside from [Intimidation], there were other tricks up his sleeve which were already taking place. Erdrich immediately noticed a small mushroom popping up at his left side, spraying him all over with a strange, purple-colored mist. He immediately felt the mist being something poisonous, swinging his hand to crush the creature!
BAM!
Poof!
The creature, instead of leaving a corpse, disappeared into particles of light after being crushed, surprising Erdrich as he realized it could be some sort of strange spirit! Of course, as the demon alter ego taking over his body lacked experience and knowledge of a lot of things, he couldn't figure what it was before he felt his entire body beginning to painfully twist. His skin in some areas turned purple, covering his red skin with purple patches, and he once more felt his strength fading away at a rapid pace! Blake walked towards Erdrich who was suffering to just stand up, as he smiled.
"I doubt the poison of Spore can kill you, but you feel weaker, don't you?" He said with a rather calm expression, and of course, completely devoid of emotions.
"RAAAAAHHH!"
The Demon alter ego couldn't let Blake play around with him any longer. He knew he had the greater physical strength of the two, and abused it by letting him purposedly get closer to ambush him with all his strength! His fists and kicks clashed against Blake like meteors, with overwhelming, blazing strength, they were all covered by demonic flames that enhanced their power output by tens of times!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However… for some reason, Blake didn't evaded. A smirk emerged on his lips, barely noticeable by Erdrich, as he felt the chill down his spine once more! He suddenly felt as if something was wrong, and the moment he saw Blake taking his hits, an explosion ensued, blinding his sight!
BOOOM!
However, this explosion didn't hurt, it was merely black fog made out of the Tier 1 Dark Attribute Magic Spell [Black Fog] which simply generated a black fog that made it hard for people to see through it! Blake used such a simplistic spell in the last moment to blind Erdrich sight, easily evading his fists and kicks and rushing behind him, like a spider climbing through the walls, he ran over his large back and reached his head in an instant!
"Ungh?! Y-YOU…!"
Erdrich's hands quickly flew towards Blake, as he evaded them and pierced them with fast attacks using his spear, needle-like images made out of Blood Aura emerged out of the movements of his spear, piercing through Erdrich's hands and making him twist in pain, as Blake smartly used a defensive spell offensively!
"Stone Wall."
TRUUUMMM…!
A large stone wall surged from the floor right below Erdrich's chin, clashing against it with full force and almost knocking him down, it was a miracle it didn't dislocated his jaws right away!
CLASH!
"AAAGGH…!"
However, in a fit of rage and pain, Erdrich furiously threw away Blake from his back at long last, but not without Blake's consent, as he had purposedly flew upwards using the [Gust] spell to lift himself by conjuring small bursts of winds below his foot. Blake had the opportunity to kill Erdrich when he was near his head if he had simply swung his spear with all his strength, beheading the boy in an instant. However, as he didn't wanted him dead, he had to use other methods.
While in midair, Blake put his free hand inside of his pouch, taking out black steel balls from them. He had created them carefully and even infused Holy Light Ki and Mana, to make them super effective against demonic entities! Using his [Throwing Technique] Skill, Blake launched these projectiles at fast speed towards Erdrich's eyes!
CLASH! CLASH!
"AAAAGGGH!"
BOOM!
Erdrich was hit twice in the head with these holy element-imbued projectiles, as the holy light burned through his red skin and made him groan like a beast. The half-demon dropped to his knees once more, as Blake mercilessly pointed his spear at him and fell down from high in the air like a lightning bolt!
FLAAAASH!
"Ngh!"
Erdrich noticed the attack as he quickly raised his arm, stopping Blake's attack by using his arm as a shield, the spear pierced through all of the arm's muscles, spraying demon blood over Erdrich's face, as the demon alter ego taking over his body smiled maliciously! Blake noticed his attack didn't work, but didn't lost his calm demeanor, immediately leaving Gluttony aside and falling down over Erdrich's once more and imbuing holy element into his hands!
FLASH!
"You're incredibly persistent, but this is it!"
"You dare come at me unarmed?!"
The demon alter ego roared back at Blake as he thought he had the higher ground now that Blake had lost his precious spear. However, he had yet to notice how much had Blake been weakening him with small attacks since the fight started! He tried to attack him but his punches were slow and devoid of any strength! Blake immediately reached his chest, as he punched several areas within his torso with incredible precise and sharp attacks!
? "Fist of Tranquility."
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Each hit reached a pressure point within Erdrich's body!
