After throwing a rock into the Oni's forehead for talking too much, the young demon angrily roared back at me, raising his club weapon. His eyes seemed to suddenly turn bloodshot red, as if he was activating his Berserk Mode. Usually Demons would only activate them when they were damaged already, the more damaged they were, the stronger they would grow.
This is why one had to quickly finish off a demon instead of letting them stall for time. However, this Oni seemed capable of unleashing his Berserk Mode out of pure rage, a special trait that Onis have, who are a natural race of demons who belong to the Ogre-class and are good at going berserk and smacking everything on their way.
They certainly lack any finesse in their ways of fighting, and techniques are null, they only abuse superhuman strength and the infusion of demonic energy into their bodies to fight. However, that would be more than enough for him to kill every single person in this group with ease.
The blue-skinned demon reached up to us in an instant thanks to the boost of his speed given to him by the Berserk Mode he activated. His entire body began to utilize his demon energy, as the demon core inside of his chest was resonating with overflowing power.
This seems like an interesting challenge. Will we be able to pull through it? Of course, Eleanora was there to Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
"I am going to tear you into SHREDS!" roared the Oni, reaching up to me in an instant, his club quickly began to descend over my head.
The other Hunters opened their eyes wide as they were not able to protect me in time, but that was okay by me, I had purposedly stood here and let him approach him.
Why? Well, if he doesn't get closer I cannot him with my spear.
Using Metabolism Acceleration, Wind Burst, and Ember, I enhanced my speed by accelerating my metabolism, all while using Wind Burst to unleash a burst of wind from behind me, and then, used Ember to propel me in the air through flames that pushed me upwards from below my feet.
The Oni's club hit the ground and generated spiderweb-shaped cracks all around, but I was able to successfully evade in time.
"You bastard…!" roared the Oni, about to move the Club against me once more, however, I was already shrouded in shadows.
Yes, this was the Link Skill I acquired from Eleanora, Shadow Sneak.
The Oni looked at me with surprise as I shrouded myself in shadows and then used Shadow Sneak to jump inside of his Shadow temporarily, this can only last for three seconds at most, but that's enough to move around his body within his own shadow and then emerge behind him.
Gluttony was already shrouded in mana and qi and was unleashing a massive blood red aura from within, so ominous that it ended giving up my position behind the Oni.
The Oni quickly realized I somehow emerged behind him, as he tried to catch me, but it was too late, his reaction speed wasn't the best now that he had activated his Berserk Mode.
"Dragoon Spear Technique: Sky Eater."
The Oni looked at me in disbelief as I moved my hands and arms with incredible swiftness, activating one of the old techniques I once used when I was around my teens in my previous life.
Sky Eater, the power to eat the sky itself. A mildly over exaggerated name, but a definitely strong Spear Technique.
Gluttony moved faster than the eye of the Oni could perceive it, as it seemed like an illusion of countless spears emerged around me, all of them began to pierce through his entire body in consecutive blows, blowing off chunks of flesh out of his body!
The Oni groaned in agony as he was showered in the piercing blows of Gluttony, the massive dark and red aura that Gluttony emanated suddenly began to shape itself as a furious black specter, each blow into the body of the Oni resembled this furious specter biting through the body of the Oni!
"T-This is… a mere… child…! Unngh…! Uuaaggh…! D-Damn it!"
However, within my expectations, something that interrupted my attacks happened, the Oni simply brute forced his way out of my constant attacks as his club reached up to me and hit me cleanly in the left side of my body.
I felt like two ribs broke in that instant, and one of them pierced my left lung, the main was severe and my breathing suddenly became agitated, all while my lung began to be filled with blood, an horrendous pain and sensation that made my mind feel numb.
I was blown away in that very second into the ground, rolling around and hitting a nearby tree, somehow managing to land while sitting, I looked into the Oni while vomiting blood.
"Hahh… Ungh… Y-You bastard… You're really a menace… damn kid…"
The Oni smirked back at me defiantly, his entire body was filled with enormous holes bleeding out rivers of blood, he was gasping for air, weakened, and looking at me with resentment.
I put the spear into the ground and used it as Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
I took out my bloodied hand out of my torso as I saw the enormous hole I had made. This was certainly giving me more pain than I thought, but I quickly healed and closed the wound…
This is not over yet…
