Chapter 90: Fooling the enemy (2/2)

”C-Can we do something about it?” Almina anxiously asked Yman.

Yman gazed at her and smirked, ”I and the others can't, but you perhaps can do it,” Yman replied.

”Do you mean —”

”Mhm, your Flame Wave,” Yman added.

Almina looked at him and noticed that he was serious.

”W-What I needed to do then?” She asked.

”Just fire everything you have towards him,” he said with a grin.

”O-Okay!” After saying it, their body started to descend.

The demon fired a crimson energy wave towards the two humans in the air, without waiting for them to descend.

Yman noticed and figured that it was the same ability used by the Mercenary Ultima. Not only the color had changed, but he could also feel that its power had increased greatly. Looks like this Demon of Possession could also use the ability of the person they possessed.

Yet, the demon frowned once again when his crimson energy wave was caught again by that human boy and disappears shortly. He was kind of annoyed for not knowing if what kind of ability this human boy had.

'What a waste of effort!' He thought to himself.

In actuality,

He could fly and tear them in the mid-air or shoot these spikes towards them, but he was doubtful about that human boy's ability. So he chose to wait because he also wanted to see the pitiful outcome of these humans, thinking they could escape by leaping in the air.

When the demon saw them started to descend, he smiled wickedly.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! The demon while staring at Yman and Almina had heard familiar sounds of something rapidly traveling in the air.

The demon glanced at the source of sounds and saw some arrows racing to hit him.

He slightly frowned. These arrows were much more powerful than the one she fired before. And now this girl fired as many as she could.

'Tsk, she's annoying.' However, the demon believed it could not hurt him, forget about hurting him. It could not even reach him.

As expected the arrows Maena fired did not reach him. It was stopped by spikes and sometimes was using the crimson energy wave to collide with the arrows.

The freezing arrows lost its durability and exploded into white powder smoke when they collided at the last spikes they could pierce.

”Fool, guehehe,” he laughed.

Nonetheless, Maena did not stop and continued firing.

The demon tried to fire a crimson energy wave but good thing that it didn't have a long-range. Whenever the enemy demon fired it, it could not reach them.

The smoke powder proliferated around the demon, then it covered the whole area where he was standing. The demon had no need to worry about it, he had high perception ability and could clearly identify what was happening around him.

But suddenly, his attention was caught by the two humans falling towards him.

The demon smirked and broke into laughter, ”Gyahahaha, die!” He shouted.

The demon lifted his hand towards the two descending humans, then unexpectedly the spikes rose up and flew to pierce these humans. Actually, he was waiting at his current position, and let himself beaten-up for the humans to think that he was having a hard time dealing with their attacks.

But actually, he was laying a trap for them!

”Gyahahaha, humans are still naive creatures! They were lowlife with little brains! They are easy to fool! Gyahahaha!” Once more, he broke into laughs of great delight.

Almina widened her eyes at the approaching spikes.

Her heart started to pound. She wondered if they would be going to die here.

She glanced at the person at her left side, who was descending rapidly together with her.

His brown-white hair was fluttering, while his brown eyes were straight-staring down below, with his left hand extended in front, and his right hand firmly gripping her left hand.

Almina noticed no fear in his eyes. His face was not the face of someone who gave up. It wasn't also the reminiscing face of someone who was prepared to die.

In truth, it was the face of someone who was looking forward to tomorrow!

Suddenly, he glanced at her, smiled, then said, ”Let's survive.” She then felt his hand firmly gripped her hand.

Almina with teary eyes nodded her head. Like him, she turned her gaze in front full of resolve. Then a moment later, they collide with the spikes.

The demon broke into a guffaw!

But suddenly froze.

Because a block of ice crystal suddenly appeared and he was at the center, frozen inside it.
