"Ungh…! You damn whores…!" The Demoness roared angrily, exuding a powerful Demonic Aura around her surroundings, pushing Eleanora and Erika way from her!
Suddenly, her body started to shapeshift, as her thin body gained muscles and tentacles in her back, big, bat-like wings surged from behind her, and sharp demonic horns from her head.
Her strength seemed to have finally been fully unlocked, she wasn't going serious… yet.
"To think the cultists were able to summon such a strong demon by using that Rat as a vessel… Their methods are becoming more and more complicated…" Eleanora sighed.
"Well, even if she got stronger, we'll just have to keep beating her until she dies." Erika smiled, her aura surging from within her body, clashing against the demoness!
Erika's Aura of Life, Nature, Illusion, and Flames clashed against the darkness demonic aura of the demoness, generating several shockwaves in the air.
"You're strong for a mere human girl, I have to admit it." Sighed the demoness. "But you're delusional if you think you actually stand a chance against my power! I am Berelitha, the faithful Servant of my Beautiful, Glorious Lady, Lilith!"
"You're sure ugly to serve the Archdemon of Lust." Eleanora laughed, flashing across midair and reaching Berelitha in an instant. Her Aura converging with her Demonic Weapon's powers, as blazing scarlet blood flames surged endlessly. "{Blazing Vampiric Spear Arts}: {Explosive Blood Spear}!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Eleanora's powerful spear blows attacked Berelitha mercilessly. However, all her blows impacted an invisible Demonic Barrier surrounding her body!
"Hahahaha! You're a fool if you think such feeble blows will hurt me! Demon Lords possess {Demonic Barriers} that no feeble blows can pierce through-"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
However, the attacks from Eleanora quickly generated huge explosions of scarlet flames, Berelitha's barrier instantly started to gain several cracks, shattering apart!
Crack… crack… CRAAASH!
"W-What?!" Berelitha panicked, as Erika appeared amidst the smoke generated by Eleanora's explosive strikes, surprising her even more.
"{Nature Dragon Blade Arts}: {Flora's Wrath}!"
Erika swung her enormous sword several times, imbuing it with her auras and powers, and unleashing her latest new arts, combining her draconic energy with her nature magic and her blade skills, she unleashed the wrath of all Flora as enormous spears made of divine wood appeared one after another with each strike of her sword!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAAASSSH!
"W-What is this strange magic?! Ugh… My barrier is breaking constantly?! T-This is impossible!" Berelitha panicked, gathering purple and black flames on her hands. "{Abyssal Demonic Flames}! BURN TO ASHES!"
The flames reached Erika in an instant, as Eleanora stepped forward, moving her spear and spinning it rapidly, generating a storm of black winds, this seemed to stop the flames, but not completely, as they kept pushing forwards.
"Hahaha! You'll burn! These flames cannot be easily turned off! You'll turn to ashes! DIE!!!" Berelitha laughed manically, unaware of a shadow creeping behind her.
The shadow of an adorable, blue-eyed ghostly girl wearing a white dress and an adorable regal hat, her phantasmal powers gathering strongly, as hundreds of phantom hands reached Berelitha's body!
"{Spectral Hands}! {Soul Curse}!" Saphira said, surprising the demoness.
"UNGH?! AAGH!!!" Berelitha screamed in agony, her Barrier incapable of reflecting phantasmal powers. "M-My soul…! UNGH! Who is this damn child?! BEGONE!"
Berelitha changed her attacking pattern, unleashing the demonic flames towards Saphira. However, the girl quickly melded into the ground and disappeared, the flames only burning her own troops that kept coming from her Demon Gate!
"Why are you burning us- UAAAGGHH…!"
"Ungh?! Dammit! Move aside you useless bunch!" Berelitha gritted her mandibles in frustration, barely evading attacks from Eleanora and Erika that came right behind her!
"S-Shit…!" Berelitha muttered. "Everything is going wrong! T-This was supposed to be an easy hunt! I was supposed to just hunt that damn brat and get this over with! I was supposed to see my lady Lilith's pleased smile!"
"Well, looks like your plans are going terribly wrong." Blake laughed, as he was constantly tearing to shreds any Demons in the vicinity, with the Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
Meanwhile, Eliana slowly opened her eyes, as her big wound healed rapidly thanks to the medical help of Hendrick and the amazing healing powers of Elizabeth.
"H-Huh? W-What… happened?" Eliana slowly opened her eyes.
"Eliana! You're fine! Oh thank the holy spirits!" Monica hugged her friend tightly. She was one of the two members of her party that weren't her maidservants, but childhood friends of her that belonged to a lower noble house that served the Darkage house.
"Lady Monica…" Eliana said weakly. "I thought- Cough… Ugh…"
"For now don't speak, dear." Hendrick said, his big mask scaring Eliana a bit. "Now that you're patched up, you need to rest for a while, okay? No self-sacrifice for a while!"
"O-Okay… W-Who are you?" Eliana sighed.
"He's Blake's Spirit." Elizabeth smiled.
"The Saintess?!" Asked Eliana in surprise.
"They came out of… the bracelet Blake gave me." Said Monica. "Somehow, he made of this bracelet some sort of medium for his darkness magic to help him teleport here… honestly, it is incredible, I never thought darkness magic could do things such as teleporting!"
"It's true! We saw that, Lady Eliana!" Said one of Monica's maidservants.
"Amazing…" Eliana sighed. "And now they're fighting that demon head-on?! They're really… so strong."
"Now, Hendrick, would you mind protecting the girls?" Elizabeth smiled. "I want to get into the fight as well. After all, my magic is the most effective against demon-kin."
"Very well, Lady Elizabeth. I shall secure these girls lives." Hendrick nodded. "{Abyssal Poison Barrier}! {Swarm Minions}!"
Hendrick quickly generated a barrier surrounding the girls, while hundreds of insects made of Hendrick's shadows and poison emerged out of his body, surrounding the barrier fearlessly and attacking any demons that came closer.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth stepped forwards, her body unleashing her large quantities of Mana. Her powerful Holy Light Ki Aura surging endlessly…
"Let's do this, Holy Dragon… {Spirit Fusion}!"
"Alright! Let's crush these bastards!"
