Chapter 271 Escaping Yet Again
I wanted to end this right here and now without my siblings around.
I did a good job at managing to make sure they escaped with the others while I took on this demon lord head-on.
For a quick second, I thought my convincing didn't work… but it seemed they trusted me way more than I thought.
"Almost makes me feel guilty," I lightly chuckled before raising my spear into the air and screaming. "LET'S TAKE THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL, SHALL WE?!"
My spear suddenly split down the middle as if a sharp stick had been rammed straight through the center of it.
The blood that spurted from my body exploded and erupted like gunpowder, being set off by a single lick of fire.
"You really wanna go this far!?" The demon lord shouted as his face warped into that of an excited smile, him ready to see just how powerful I could really get.
"[Burst]," I muttered, coughing up a mouthful of blood but causing the demon lord in front of me to realize that blood dripped from the side of his mouth.
He wiped it with the tip of his thumb and stared intently at the red substance that had leaked from his lips.
"Kukuku… KAHAHAHAHAHAA! ALRIGHT! THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
He almost looked hysterical as he took a step forward, interlocking his fingers as the domain around him began to warp into large javelins that protruded from the glass-like material.
It was an insane sight to see…
BOOM
All of a sudden, the blood that coated both throne worlds exploded, and my split spear eventually managed to split into four actual new spears that hovered around me.
The man looked at me with a bit of a suspicious look, as if he saw something else, before returning to his previous hysterical expression.
"SANGRIA-EYED KING! I DEEM YOU A QUINCY!"
The cavern around our domains began to crumble under the pressure of our seemingly final attack, which was to end this fight once and for all. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂
The four spears that floated around me absorbed more and more of my blood while I continued to reinforce my body with as many skills as I could muster.
My mana reserves were already running dry… so I knew it was time.
FWOOSH
A raid team of about thirty demons made up of succubi and incubi immediately greeted the skirmish me and this demon lord were currently having.
And just like that, I began to pull back.
The demon lord's face crumbled with anger as he saw my throne world slowly dissipate… but I made sure to send him a parting gift.
"[Freeze],"
My words penetrated through the atmosphere, freezing his body in place as my four spears darted through the air, piercing straight through his left arm, upper abdomen, lower left leg, and upper right leg.
He was left seething in anger as the demons piled on top of him, though he wasn't done yet.
VWOOM
A single blade made up of kaleidoscopic glass pierced through the pile of demons, killing a few but also swinging straight toward me.
And since my back was turned and since that blade was just too damn fast, I couldn't react in time… except for the succubus who jumped behind me, completely stopping the blade in its tracks.
Her hands were coated in pink demonic armor that allowed her to hold the deadly weapon in the palm of her hand.
"You-"
"I don't give a shit… just go…." She muttered, eyes already dimming as the massive blade had not only torn through her stomach but also ripped apart her lungs.
"You are so stupid," I smiled, already anticipating such a thing, but I never thought it would ever be used like this.
Though, as I was getting ready to see her expression of despair, the only thing she displayed to me was a warm smile… as if she really cared about saving the one she loved.
Each light in her eyes dimmed almost immediately, eventually splitting into two rolling stones that were lifeless.
Her body crumbled into dust as the blade also began to fade out of existence, seemingly torn to shreds by the one who protected me.
"*sigh*... I'm such an asshole," I muttered through gritted teeth.
…
"So, did you see that weakness in action, or was it just a silly little lie?" Luna asked as we ran out of the palace.
"It was real. Just using my ancient tongue once was enough for me to make him cough up blood… he might really die… this is good," I muttered, yet the guilt from before began to weigh down on me.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked, immediately sensing my discomfort.
"I'm such a shitty person,"
"I'm fully aware of that," Bella muttered with a large accepting smile, yet the only thing I could muster was a fake smirk to make her stop worrying.
"Anyway, what do we do now?" Luna asked, as we really didn't have anywhere else to go, and it was a given that wanted posters of our faces were going to be plastered everywhere in this city.
"We still have things to do, but it's best for us to law low. We'll leave the city and travel to the outskirts where the imp camps were previously… a bit of training should do," I muttered, and as everybody else nodded with agreement, we continued our dash down the horny streets of this city.
The lingering smell of aphrodisiac hung in the air, and the putrid smell of sweat created thick fog in each sex establishment.
Even restaurants… normal everyday restaurants had a twist on them, whether that be through a sexy little show or literally just an under-the-table blow job.
"Disgusting," I muttered with a salty expression.
I knew I had to get stronger and really figure out what my domain could do… everybody knew what theirs was capable of, but mine was way too ambiguous to actually get a good grasp on what its full potential was.
