Chapter 753 Ashura's Defeat
-----
"Hah?! You're back?! Well, why should that even matter?!" Laughed Ashura, his powers beginning to rise constantly as he started biting on a red jewel. "I'm tired of playing around with KIDS!"
His entire body erupted with Demonic Flames, as his size started increasing, from the normal human-sized body he held, slowly, it started to grow alongside his muscles!
Ashura's fists became like blazing meteors, constantly hitting Erdrich with even more strength, breaking his arm bones constantly as he forcefully regenerated them.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"You're a weakling after all!" Laughed Ashura. "I'm done with playing around! I'll use the might of my lord to CRUSH you two! And after that, I'll attain a greater enlightenment in Martial Arts!"
He had indeed used an Archdemon Core Fragment Shard, which was what was transforming his body into a half Giant Demon, while retaining all of his speed and strength!
"You're not the only one with transformations."
Erdrich's eyes flared! This entire time, he had not even once used his [Accursed Seven Layered Demon Transformation] Skill, wanting to see what the limits of his Human body were, and they were quite amazing at this stage.
But his true power would only emerge once his white skin slowly started to be covered by tattoos resembling red flames. As horns grew on his forehead and as his hair became white, growing longer beneath his back, while his body size grew several times over, his enormous arms resembling huge logs.
"[Accursed Seven Layered Demon Transformation: First Layer of Envy]"
"You can transform?! So this is the power of a Cambion!"
Ashura felt somehow fascinated, a smile surged on his gigantic head, as his enormous fists pummeled down towards Erdrich all at once! However, Erdrich, despite being much smaller at only three meters tall while Ashura was over ten now, did not falter.
"[Demonic Infernal Fists]! [Six Infernal Stars]!"
All six of the Demon Lord's fists flared with demonic flames, resembling falling meteors, stars themselves, clashing over Erdrich all at once!
"[Heavenly Demon Battle Arts]: [One Step From Heaven]!"
However, Erdrich retaliated with a technique Ashura had never seen before, with a single, powerful kick, the six arms about to crush him were crushed instead by an invisible, heavenly demonic energy!
BAAAAAAAMMM!!!
"W-What?! Invisible energy?!"
Ashura's eyes opened wide as he felt all six of his arms breaking! He couldn't believe it; he couldn't understand it! He couldn't fathom it!
"This is the teachings Blake has taught me, the philosophy of demons even more frightening than you guys, from a world where might makes right, a world once named Murim." Erdrich smiled. "Compared to theirs… Your Martial Arts feel like feeble little games! [Heavenly Demon Battle Arts]: [Demonic Dragon's Descent]!"
His two fists combined together into a single, ethereal fist, punching Ashura's head, the dragon's attack then exploded, as a demonic dragon made of energy engulfed Ashura's body, pushing him down!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
"T-This power…! I've never seen such… evolved martial arts before!" Ashura screamed, hitting the floor. "(B-But what's with his strength?! He transformed and now he's my equal?! That's bullshit! That's- Ah!)"
However, when he realized, it was a bit too late… Elfriedden's wounds were still there, slowly freezing his insides, even after transforming, they persisted!
"Y-Your attacks…!" The Demon Lord glanced at Elfriedden, which was flying in the skies with dragon wings acquired from Draco's Buff Card. "How come this is possible?! To harm me to this level…"
"Why should I tell you?" Elfriedden laughed. "[Frost Tools Creation: Skadi's Armory]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Suddenly, hundreds of weapons made of ice emerged around Elfriedden, falling over Ashura at the same time! His six eyes growing desperate, as he feared that each weapon could leave such a wound on his body again!
Naturally, this wasn't the truth, the attacks Elfriedden had done were special, utilizing the power of the [Spiritual Frost Soul] Skill which left a lingering, temporary Frost Soul Spirit that could infect wounds. This was not without sacrifices, as Elfriedden had to use small pieces of his own soul to deal this much damage.
However, thanks to Blake teaching him Soul Cultivation, which had now made his soul very large and strong, this wasn't a problem, as long as he was careful.
"RAAAAAH!"
Ashura grew desperate, unleashing a barrage of attacks and fireballs against the rain of ice weapons, which exploded in midair before his might.
However, this desperation made him lower his guard! When he realized he had been tricked to be afraid of ice to this extent, it was too late!
Erdrich appeared behind him, his body covered on black, blazing demonic armor, his second Spirit! And not only that, but his third and newest Spirit appeared as well, the Sealed Demon Witch, who resembled his own mother, wrapped on black and red chains while having her eyes covered by a black bandage.
Erdrich didn't knew if it was really her, but he could feel her strength with him… He could feel her might within his own body, her magical powers!
"[Magic-Sealing Demonic Chains]!"
Instead of punching Ashura, he unleashed dozens of chains out of thin air, wrapping his many arms and stopping his movements!
"Chains?!"
Ashura started destroying them one after another, only to realize they kept coming from the Spirit behind Erdrich, sealing part of his demonic energy circuits and weakening him severely!
"You can do it, my child."
The voice of Erdrich's mother echoed within his heart, as the half-demon roared, rushing towards Ashura, and pummeling him with countless meteor strikes!
"[Asura's Wrathful Aura]! [Heavenly Demon Battle Arts]: [Heaven-Splitting Fists]!"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"UUUUAAAARRGHH!"
Ashura couldn't defend against him anymore, his entire body being distorted and deformed with each of Erdrich's ferocious strikes, as his red skin quickly turned deep black, like charcoal, his second layer strengthening his powers even further!
"T-This can't be…! I CANNOT ACCEPT THISSSS!"
Ashura screamed, freeing himself from all the chains with an eruption of demonic flames. His fists hit Erdrich back, only for them to be covered on his own blood, as his blazing demonic armor was… too hard!
"W-Wha…?!"
And not only that, even as the chains were broken, several ice knives and spears were incrusted on his shoulders, weakening him even further!
"T-This…!"
Ashura tried to fight back, but Erdrich was already above him, descending and crushing him.
"[Heavenly Demon Battle Arts]: [Heavenly Step]!"
CRAAAAAAASSSSSSHHH!!!
Erdrich's Heavenly Step was his strongest technique so far, concentrating all the concepts of Martial Arts he had learned, and combining them together with the many energies he could manipulate and combine!
It felt strange, but it was as if a demon had acquired the might of heaven itself, making its wrath descend from above, crushing his foe mercilessly.
Already having been weakened so much by the chains and Elfriedden's powerful ice magic, Ashura could simply do nothing! His magic and his techniques were all completely overpowered by these two younglings.
"T-This… hah… hahah…! It was fun…!"
However, instead of going off with bitterness, he smiled even on his last moments, amazed by the power of humans, as his soul was vaporized and his body left into pieces.
"Hahh… I'm exhausted…"
Elfriedden dropped over the ground exhausted, while Erdrich slowly went back to his human form, glancing at his third spirit silently.
"I wonder… if it was really you, or just my own mind playing tricks on me…" He looked into the skies; his fists covered on blood. "I miss you, mom…"
