Chapter 77 - Fatal Cuts (1/2)

”Let's finish this soon...” Luke spoke, smiling wearily.

”Won't you pity that noble boy's body?” the demon questioned, alluding to Jean's body, which he owned.

”I will be riding him as a dirty parasite, why should I pity him?”

Upon hearing this answer, the demon frowned most of his face and bit his teeth, highlighting the bones of his perfectly straight jaw. ”You're annoying...”

Luke, this time, looked inexpressively at the monster, who in turn looked with contempt and disgust at the man.

'Even without that weird armor, he's still pretty strong.' The half-wolf concluded, taking into account that the magic attack unleashed not long ago had almost killed him. 'I have to proceed with caution.'

The demon was also cautious because he had lost his main weapon of attack and defense.

If not for Luke, he would surely have dealt with all the other adventurers and fled by now, however, the persistence and endurance of the half-beast were truly admirable.

Then Luke began to walk towards the demon, who began to walk as well. Before they knew it, they were walking in a circle as they stared at each other, waiting for the first blow from the other.

Tap! Luke's shoe made a noise as he suddenly stepped forward, managing to surprise even the watchful eyes of the demon.

Using his right leg as a support, the dark-skinned man tried to stop Luke's attack with another attack, a kick. This kick didn't even come close to hitting the half-wolf, who deflected very deftly and then used <Vind> on the enemy's leg.

The fast wind hit Jean's knee and destabilized him, causing him to almost fall, which created a window of opportunity for Luke.

'Tsk! I didn't want to have to use this human abilities, but if that's the way it is...' The demon judged and then clenched his fist and hit the ground as he fell.

Before the half-wolf could seize the opportunity, a wall of water came out of nowhere, stopping him.

Still, Luke didn't let the surprise factor get in his way. Using the tip of his spear, he cut through the water and rushed forward. Soon after cutting through the wall, he was once again surprised by a water attack, this time an intense jet that threw him several meters back.

As he landed and pulled himself together, Luke threw back his wet hair, which further highlighted his semi-cute ears on top of his head.

The water barrier came down after a few brief seconds, soaking some of the ground and revealing that the demon was already standing.

Once again, the half-wolf began to feel weak, as if he was unable to finish a difficult fight without someone's help. He looked at the spear in his hand and dropped it to the ground, concluding that at this stage of the battle, the object was slowing him down more than helping him.

The clang of the spear falling to the ground sounded like a melody to the monster's ears, who thought that the half-wolf was being arrogant in preferring to fight without a weapon.

However, when the two opponents approached each other once again for a hand-to-hand fight, Luke showed in practice that he was not unarmed.

With his left palm fully open, Luke lightly struck the demon's belly, as his strength was abnormal, this simple blow was enough to create a deep cut.
