Chapter 197 - Debris
When Luke stood up and summoned his Panspermia weapon, he immediately looked forward to where Masink was being pressed by several blue tails coming out of Alexis' ass. These tails were long, bulky, and had a ghostly appearance.
Luke didn't understand why the part where he was on the second floor had collapsed, but now a few pieces of wood were stuck in his skin, causing a little pain. He ignored this.
The half-wolf looked over and saw Marie struggling to get up. Her belly was still bleeding from the stab of the obsidian sword that Luke had struck.
At the moment Luke prepared to attack the woman with his axe, Alexis shouted:
"Luke, be careful! That man might..."
Luke was suddenly teleported away before the S-Class could finish her alarm, switching places with Masink. Unable to brake his blow, Luke slashed the <Finder's Tails> ability of the S-Class.
The collision of an Epic-level Panspermia Weapon against an Epic-level Gene Skill caused a massive shockwave, which further damaged the mansion's structure.
"Get us out of here, my love..." Masink spoke to Marie, reaching out his hand to help her up.
Once the fingers of the two demons crossed, they teleported behind the half-wolf; however, they didn't attack him and continued to teleport until they were out of the house as if they were jumping.
After they recovered from the strong collision, Luke and Alexis exchanged looks, moments before the creaking of the mansion's structures became the sound of the foundations breaking.
Immediately, Luke omitted his axe and extended a hand to the half-dragon.
As soon as she could catch his hand, the foundations of the huge wooden mansion collapsed.
BOOOM~
The sound of explosion caused by the collapse of a large part of the mansion could be heard across the entire area around the hill.
In front of their partially destroyed house, the demon couple was with extremely frowning expressions of anger. They didn't say a word to express the anger they were feeling, but at least the snobbish smile on theirs was gone.
Inside the rubble of the mansion, Luke was using his own back to somehow support hundreds of pounds of lumber and furniture. Between his two arms was Alexis, who was nearly missed by the rubble. The faces of the two half-beasts were very close, and they exchanged looks of fright and distress.
"Argh... Are you okay...? Are you hurt?" Luke struggled to speak.
"No, I'm fine... Why did you do that? I could have stayed on top to take the weight."
"Stay on top? Alexis, Alexis... talking about... subjects like this, at this... moment? You're bolder than I thought." The half-wolf joked and smiled a little, just before his arms almost gave way to the weight he was holding.
She blushed slightly at the joke. "Ha! You're really unhealed... only you are capable of making me smile at a moment like this... For now, try to stand up slowly, we'll split this weight and then I'll use <Torden Scintillans> to create an opening for us to get out."
Luke nodded to the guidelines and began to try to stand up. However, the weight was so much that it made his spine crack every second and his legs shake to the point that his muscles failed. If any nerves or muscles burst, he would have to use his only advanced healing potion.
In the end, the half-wolf managed to do what the half-dragon directed with much difficulty, and then she held part of the rubble with just one arm, and the other she extended to the side and shouted eagerly:
"<Torden Scintillans>!"
The S-Class' hand turned completely blue-bright for a moment, and then a huge bolt of lightning was shot out, further shaking the debris from the house. The Alexis' skill absolutely incinerated anything in its path, barely missing the cook trying to get out from under some minor debris.
After that, a tunnel was formed for Alexis and Luke to pass through, and since they knew that the rubble wouldn't stay steady as it was for long, they rushed to get out.
When they got out, they immediately met the furious gazes of the demons, and then an intense battle began. The demons soon proved to be even more troublesome together than when they were alone. Masink could change people's places with just a glance, including himself, and Marie could teleport herself and anyone she touched with her hand.
However, the half-beast duo had a monstrous power of adaptability, constantly reacting in the last seconds to avoid attacking each other like before.
Because of the demons' fast teleporting abilities, Alexis didn't dare to use an ability with extraordinary potency. Still, her tails' ability proved to be more powerful and useful than she thought.
Although Luke found these two demons much weaker physically than Beherith was when he possessed Jean Pollo, they were pretty smart and avoided attacks with mastery than him. Luke couldn't imagine how much worse it would be if Marie had her grimoire.
At one point, Luke noticed that both demons were panting from using their teleportation abilities and were also very injured. Alexis and Luke exchanged glances and decided it was time to seal the demons.
The two demons also exchanged looks and whispered simultaneously:
"It's time to do that."
Then, Marie pulled her hair away from her neck, and Masink bit the pale-skinned neck of the demon woman, who endured the pain without complaint. Gradually, a blood-red aura could be seen enveloping the self-titled Count, and his skin began to bubble like boiling water.
"What the fuck is that?" Luke expressed, seeing that the demon's aura was getting more and more intimidating.
"There's no time to be intimidated! We have to stop them!" Alexis shouted as she took off running towards the direction of the two demons. The half-wolf followed her impetus.
When the two half-beasts approached the demon couple, Marie touched her husband's face and shouted:
"You will not disturb the process of raising our children!"
From that moment on, no matter how many times Alexis and Luke advanced, the woman always teleported herself and her husband to escape from them.
The two half-beasts even tried to split up to cover a larger area, but that didn't work either.
Luke's fight against Marie was different inside the mansion because the space was limited; however, she now had a much wider region to look at and use her teleportation.
In the end, the birth of the demons' child was inevitable. Masink pushed Marie away, and his skin, which was still blistering, stopped.. His static, glazed gaze in Luke and Alexis' direction made them stand ready for anything.
