Chapter 936: The Battle Against the Demon Reaches its Climax
Reign focused his energy, gathering it into a massive ball of light and darkness above his head. The ball grew larger and brighter, crackling with raw power as he poured more and more mana into it. The demon, sensing the impending danger, tried to move, but Tank and Greenie’s hold on it was too strong.
The demon roared, doing its best to shake the two off of him, and he was able to do so, but it was too late.
With a mighty roar, Reign unleashed the ball of energy, sending it hurtling towards the demon with incredible speed. The ball struck the demon’s armor before suddenly exploding, but the explosion made no sound, nor did it cause any damage to the surrounding area.
Instead, the ball suddenly grew to be about 6 meters in diameter, completely enveloping the demon inside of it and causing it to roar as light and darkness continued assaulting it, dealing immense damage to it and even cracking its armor at some parts.
In his current state, Reign’s stats were actually above a regular peak Tier VI combatant, which was only a bit below the demon’s stats in its current form. With so much power, Reign’s attacks were more than powerful enough to cause the demon immense damage and pain.
The demon roared in pain as its armor cracked and splintered under the force of the attack, some parts of it falling down on the ground before the bone armor started growing back slowly. The demon staggered back, its defenses weakened as Reign descended from the air, his swords flashing as he delivered a series of powerful strikes to the demon’s exposed flesh.
Reign knew he didn’t have a lot of time until the armor grew back, so he was not going to miss this opportunity.
He and the others had to make sure they dealt enough damage to the demon now in order to make the battle more difficult for it.
If they could deal enough damage, then even without breaking through its armor later on, they would still be able to damage it from the sheer impact alone.
As Reign landed gracefully on the ground after finishing with his attacks, the demon staggered back, its form battered and bruised from the relentless assault. Tank and Greenie rushed forward, delivering a barrage of blows, each strike cracking the demon’s armor further and further.
In their transformed state, neither of the two was afraid of the demon attacking them. After all, if the demon did try to do something that could threaten them, they could just grab him one more time and wrestle with him.
With both of them present, they weren’t worried that the demon could outwrestle them.
Wolf and Mia continued their assault, their attacks now focused on exploiting the cracks in the demon’s armor. Wolf’s chaotic flames burned hotter and brighter, searing through the demon’s flesh and causing it to howl in agony. Mia’s frosty attacks followed suit, her icy blasts targeting the weakened spots in the demon’s armor and causing frostbite to appear on the demon’s body.
The demon didn’t know which one was worse, the feeling of having his flesh be cooked by the flames, or the numbness he would feel from the frostbitten parts of his body.
Shadow darted around the demon, his darkened blades slicing through the demon’s flesh with deadly precision. With each strike, he weakened the demon’s defenses, his attacks draining its strength and resolve.
The parts where Shadow would stab the demon would quickly darken as the darkness from his blades would start corroding the demon’s body from within, causing the flesh to start rotting slowly.
Laura continued to bombard the demon with her demonic energy, her attacks striking true and further weakening its armor. She summoned more weapons with the pentagrams, each strike adding to the demon’s misery.
Reign joined the fray once more, his swords flashing as he delivered a series of powerful strikes to the demon’s exposed flesh. With each blow, he pushed the demon back, his attacks relentless and precise.
The demon was in quite the agony at this moment.
It had gone all out after being attacked by Reign and the others before, only to find out that Reign and the others had not gone all out previously either.
The demon could do nothing but try his best to defend against the attacks of Reign and the others right now. It was being attacked from all sides, and when it tried to do anything, it would be grabbed by Tank and Greenie, making it nearly impossible for it to resist.
The demon’s roars filled the air, its once formidable presence now diminished by the relentless assault of Reign and his companions. Despite its best efforts, the demon could not withstand the combined might of the group, its armor cracking and splintering under the onslaught.
More and more of the armor was falling down from its body, its regeneration no longer capable of sustaining it as the damage being done to it was above the speed it was able to regenerate.
As the battle raged on, the demon’s movements grew sluggish, its attacks becoming more desperate and erratic. It was clear that the demon was nearing its breaking point, its once formidable defenses were now weakened to the point of collapse.
Tank and Greenie no longer had to hold the demon down at all as it was no longer capable of even hitting them. Each strike of the demon was still powerful, but the demon was simply too sluggish, too slow, incapable of landing an attack on any of them.
Reign saw an opening and seized the opportunity. With a mighty roar, he unleashed a final, devastating attack, channeling all of his remaining energy into a single, powerful strike.
The others got ready to attack as well.
They were currently all at the peak of their strength, and it wouldn’t last for much longer.
They had to take down the demon now, or it would be much more difficult to defeat it after their marks stopped giving them power.
Reign’s swords shone brightly, one shining a bright white light while the other one was pitch-black.
He stared at the demon before stabbing forward with full strength.
[ Severing, Twin Vipers ]
The demon roared as it struck forward, aiming to destroy Reign’s attack, as well as Reign, only to widen his eyes as the attack was launched.
The immense power behind the Reign’s attack made the demon flinch for an instant before an expression of rage appeared on its face.
It got scared by that attack?
A proud demon like him, one powerful enough to be called by the system to be a raid boss, got scared by an attack that the Nephilim in front of him launched?
Such a thing could not be tolerated, it had to destroy Reign, otherwise, it would forever remember this humiliation it suffered.
The demon mustered all of its remaining strength and unleashed a devastating counterattack. Its bone armor crackled with energy as it swung its massive arms, sending shockwaves through the air and causing the ground to tremble.
The armor actually broke in some places from the immense power behind the demon’s attack.
A wave of red demonic energy was sent forward, destroying everything in its path before colliding with Reign’s attack.
The wave and the two vipers collided, causing the air around them to be blasted everywhere from the immense power the two attacks had, but the vipers, although they were able to penetrate deep inside the wave, were obviously not as powerful.
Still, that was somewhat expected.
After all, the demon was a raid boss, so it should be more powerful than Reign and the others, but the problem the demon had was the fact its attack was too big.
Wolf and the others were not going to let it get to them and quickly attacked as well.
The red wave of demonic energy was suddenly assaulted by multiple attacks that came from them, slowly pushing it back and causing the demon to roar in anger.
The demon struggled to maintain its onslaught as Reign and his companions unleashed their own barrage of attacks, each strike weakening its defenses further. With their combined strength and determination, they pushed back against the demon’s counterattack, their attacks colliding in a dazzling display of power.
Flames rose to the sky, ice formed all around them, and shockwaves of power blasted all around, the display of power being showcased right now was incredible, and it was all being targeted toward the demon who was struggling to maintain his attack.
He knew that the situation was not good, he knew that he had to do something to change the situation, to turn it around, and yet, he had no idea what he could do at all.
He had used everything he had in this final attack, hoping that it would be enough to send Reign and the others to oblivion, only to be shown that it was wrong and that they were still powerful enough to contend against him.
And soon, the wave of energy started dissipating, causing the demon to feel nervous.
