Chapter 245 Slaughtering Hundreds
-----
"GRAAAH!"
As the giant noticed I had slain the little friends he had, he immediately tried to crush me like a fly I jumped over the top of his head as I saw his hands hitting the shoulders, another hand suddenly moved to my side, as I parried it with my spear with a quick action.
CLAAASH!
I was sent through the air. I should had killed him while I could but he moved too quickly, even crushing the skull takes a couple seconds. I immediately attempted to fly in midair through [Gust] but was quickly surprised by a sudden attack from below. I noticed my familiars being assaulted by over twenty Imps led by four Red Oni and a single Blue Oni. Cavalry finally arrived, huh?
Several Demon Flames were directed at me from the Onis as well. I noticed two of them were holding staffs, they were magicians, not brute fighters. This might explain their fire that could reach so far in the sky, which was most likely an advanced Spell from their unique Demon Magic. The flames were fast, following me around as if they had a tracking ability. I quickly realized this spell was named [Chasing Soul Flame]. It was made so it would chase down the soul of the target, a deadly attack that could even deal direct damage to the soul. If I allowed magicians to get into the army, even more casualties would be generated.
BOOOM!!!
One of the flames hit me hopelessly. I had already readied myself for the impact as I permeated my body with the Spirit Soul Aura of Eleanora, but to not let her carry the entire burden, I also allowed myself to be burned, thanks to large quantities of Blood Ki, I had reinforced my Skin and Muscles, and the burns from demon flames became lesser. Nonetheless, it was a challenging fight to slay a giant all while magicians from below were pestering me.
"Gluttony!"
I called into Gluttony's special ability, as I swung him into my own body, without cutting any part of my skin, Gluttony absorbed the flames, quickly freeing me from them. My soul was slightly damaged, but nothing too much. I had bear with greater pain than this before. My body was slightly roasted though, but I bathed myself in Holy Water generated through Tier 1 Water and Holy Light Magic spells, the burns slowly reseeded, some areas of my body ended with scars, but I didn't really care.
I directed my fury towards the ones below while I evaded the enormous arms of the giant that were trying to catch me as if I were a fly. Gathering my Mana and Blood Ki within my hands, I decided to do a simple long-ranged attack, shaping the Mana and Blood Ki into dozens of sharp spears, my Mana was already running low, below 40%, but I still had some to go before I could drink some of the Mana Potions I stole from the priests.
"Blood Judgement."
This was a lesser version of a classic Spell I've used before named Blood Judgement. It was of course weaker, but it could easily shred into pieces these damned demons once and for all. The spears moved swifter and faster than I expected them to do, as they reached the demons. Several Imps met their demise in mere seconds, but the Oni defended against them by swinging their weapons enhanced with their Demon Energy, the two magicians suddenly generated a barrier, defending themselves from my magic.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
The Blood Judgement still kept them busy, even though it wasn't capable of breaking their barrier, which most likely ran by their demonic energy quantity. If I kept attacking them with magic, the barrier would ultimately break as their demonic energy ran out. Meanwhile, without wasting a single second, I parried another attack from the giant using my spear.
CRAAASH!
"GRUUOHH!"
Suddenly, an enormous fist was about to crush from, reaching from above. However, I quickly decided it was a good moment to slice his hands off. I loaded Gluttony with almost the rest of my Mana while still keeping some to keep myself afloat using Gust, all while I used Fireball to propel myself higher into the sky, reaching the giant's fist and then piercing it through!
BOOOOMMM!!!
A ray of Blood Ki pierced through the giant's hand, as I loaded his limb with this vicious energy and the enormous hand quickly exploded, leaving him without a hand, the demon giant cried dumbly. What a stupid creature.
I didn't wasted any second, reaching the giant's arm and running through it. His other hand attempted to catch me, but I evaded swiftly through a combination of [Shadow Sneak] and [Acrobatics]. After that, I recklessly jumped straight towards his face. The giant thought he could eat me, opening his mouth and showing me his teeth. That was what I was waiting for.
"Blood Judgement!"
"GRUHO?!"
A rain of blood spears suddenly filled the giant's mouth, quickly slicing and piercing through all of his insides, his eyes quickly rolled in agony as he fell down into the floor, his throat being tore apart by the attacks, exploded into a blood fountain.
BOOOM!
Without wasting time, I directed my gaze towards the Onis, one Red Oni was slain but the rest was defending from my Blood Judgement through a Demon Barrier, but that barrier easily broke, almost at the same time as my Blood Judgement stopped attacking them. Filled with confidence, the Oni charged at me with the rest of the Imps, and several others that joined them just a few seconds ago, all while the Magicians behind them conjured the same magic as before, [Chasing Soul Flame] dozens of times. Despite being against the odds here as my energies were being drained with each fight, I couldn't help but smile, the stench of blood and death permeated my entire body. I felt in my element.
Let's continue the carnage, I can't help but want to bathe in more blood.
