281 Red hair (1/2)

The damage was not nearly as serious as the time he was attacked by Evlin's rampage, but the fact still remained that him getting hurt was not something that should be done easily.

”How in the world did you manage to do that...?” the old man asked.

Detra released a small giggle before replying, ”Is it not obvious? I used the power of love!”

”Eh...?”

The woman then proceeded to spin her staff around and several new shards of ice began to take shape around her aimed at the dragon demon.

”For me... There is nothing that I love more than showing demon scum like you the shortest path back to hell...” Detra commented while releasing her wave of ice on her opponent.

Wrath saw the icicles coming and hurried to smack the ground and use the pieces of debris from the floor to block the attacks.

”Not gonna work...” Detra whispered.

The shard then moved around the debris and performed a circular motion to strike Wrath from the back.

”Aaaarghhh!!” the dragon shrieked.

Knucker watched the whole thing while holding his chin, ”I see... They sent out the two people that had the weakest connection with the telepath to avoid boosting Wrath's power... Not bad...”

The kings and queens of the four kingdoms began to recover a bit of hope at seeing Knucker's servant struggling, but they knew better than to underestimate him.

”Ugh... This is rather unfortunate...” Wrath mumbled while kneeling down and watching his blood dripping on the ground.

”You already done? Come on! Get up so I can push you down one more time!! Show me the pathetic sight of a lowly demon begging for his life!!” Detra laughed.

Daren just scratched his chin while seeing Detra enjoying the humiliation of her opponent, ”She really hasn't changed, has she...?”

”No...” Evlin corrected, ”She changed a lot... It's just hard to see... But she definitely is not the same woman she was before...”

Wrath stood up and rushed towards Detra with his fist raised to smack her, but the woman reacted faster by creating a wall of ice by waving her staff upwards.

The demon managed to break the wall with ease, but Detra was already waiting for him with another attack ready to strike.

”I hope this hurts...” she whispered while blasting him with a beam of ice that launched Wrath towards the sky.

[This is gonna be easier than I imagined...] Dia commented inside Detra's mind.

”Too easy if you ask me...” the ice mage replied, ”Is knucker just gonna let me bully his servant like this? Even with your power, this fight shouldn't be so unbalanced...”

[You think he is hiding his power?]

”I think... He is waiting for something...”

Smoke and rubble began to fly all over the place hiding the figure of the old man.

”This should be enough...” Knucker alerted.

”Oh... Dear...” Wrath mumbled.

Detra suddenly felt a shiver crawling down her spine and instinctively leaped back while keeping her guard up.

[Detra...? What's wrong...?]

”I'm... I'm not sure...” She admitted while gazing at her arms and legs shivering, ”But for some reason... Every muscle in my body just told me to run away for a second...”

The smoke finally cleared up and revealed Wrath's body, completely covered in red scales from head to toe, with a pair of black horns above his head, and a long tail that was half his size.

”You guys did it now...” Knucker explained, ”You made him angry...”

Wrath stepped on the ground and made the entire arena shake from the power of his foot alone, ”Indeed...”

[D- Detra...]

”Don't panic... We still have the upper ha- Oh my Lord!!” Detra cried as she was suddenly forced to leap away as Wrath immediately jumped on top of her with his fist aimed at her face.

The woman rolled on the ground trying to catch her breath and gazed at the hole Wrath had managed to create.

”One second later... And that would have been me...” she whispered while staring at the crater.

”One second later, and that WILL be you...” Wrath stated while stretching his arms.

Detra waved her staff to launch another icicle but Wrath just raised but hand to stop the frozen shard from moving.

The woman tried to use her cryo-kinesis to shatter the icicle into smaller shards that started to fly around Wrath like homing missiles and started to strike his body one after another.

Once Detra was finished, she took a glance to analyze how much damage she had caused, but all she saw was Wrath cleaning the pieces of ice from his body as if it was dust.

”These won't work on me anymore...” he stated.

Wrath began to charge at Detra with immense speed and began to throw punch after punch at her who tried her best to react by creating several walls of ice to defend herself. Unfortunately, each wall would just come down as soon as the demon's fist came in contact and turned it into small fragments.

[He's not stopping!!] Dia gasped.

”I can see that!!” Detra shouted as she continued to be backed into a corner.
