Chapter 76 - The Gauntlets (1/2)
Among all the adventurers in the battle, only Alexis did considerable damage to the demon.
Among the dozens, only she was able to crack his dark matter armor.
Among all the people he had fought in the past years, the half-dragon was the only one who managed to put fear into him as well.
”I'm an S-Class, disgusting being!” She shouted as she smiled and then punched the monster in the face.
Its entire back dug deep into the stone floor of the place, thus making the entire garden shake and wobble. The castle stood on the edge of a very deep ravine and was certainly not a place built for battles of such intensity.
Even though she felt everything shaking, the woman didn't stop striking. TUM! TUM! TUM! Her hand didn't even touch the demon's skin, because the gauntlet was like an aura, which prevented this.
Although she was slaughtering a demon, internally she was angrier at herself, for once again not being strong enough to protect weak people.
With each blow, she dealt, another massacre that she couldn't avoid came up in her thoughts.
'Shit, shit, shit, shit...' These feelings made the girl slow down by milliseconds, and this occasioned a desperate counterattack from the demon. Dark matter stuck to the black gauntlet during one of the punches and spread throughout the half-dragon's body, consuming her.
Just as before, this thing took the shape of a sphere and began to float. From inside the object, Alexis punched several times with the <Life Wedge> gauntlet and used <Divine Blast> even though it was in an enclosed place, which made it crack even more.
”I didn't want to have to dispose of something so incomparable, but I have no choice.” The man spoke and then began to guide the ball with one hand while standing up with difficulty with the other.
When the ball reached above the cliff, he opened his left palm, and then the object plummeted at high speed.
Luke climbed the wreckage of the castle wall in time to see this scene and, without a second thought, he used the sword-throwing stance he knew and hurled Nathalia's spear toward the monster.
The Daughter of Hades slashed towards the demon and... Péimm! He managed to hold the handle of the spear so that only the sharp point flickered near Jean's thin nose.
”What did you do with it?” The half-wolf inquired, sliding down with the help of the dust on the rubble. The concealing effect of the elixir given by Alexis had worn off, so his fuzzy ears were exposed.
The demon straightened his spine, turned the spear, and drove the blade into the ground. Without saying a single word, he just smiled briefly and used his left hand to call Luke into battle.
Then Luke ran toward the demon and when he got close, he kicked with his left leg from the bottom up.
Skillfully, the monster used the spear to shift its own body to the side. The weight of its body spanned the sturdy rod, and when the monster released the spear, the rod came back and hit the half-wolf's face.
To react to this, Luke used <Vind> in the direction of his opponent.
Floshh! The demon was repelled and so was the half-wolf, due to the strength of the magic that seemed to get stronger and more concentrated.
As luck would have it, Luke still managed to be quick enough to touch the spear and brought it back to the orb state, which was the portable mode of the Panspermia Weapons.
Zisssh! The half-wolf's worn shoes slipped on the fine dust that now covered the garden floor.
