Chapter 270 - Serenas Light and Johns Dark (1/2)

The surprised look on John's face, vanished and turned into a glare as he noticed something in the direction where the demon was supposed to be.

[Fulgurationem, Modero] Translation: Lightning Flash, Slow down

Lightning sparks enveloped and travelled throughout his body as he vanished and reappeared in front of Serena

*SLAM!*

A loud sound resounded through the area, as what caused John to go active his spells, made contact with him. The sound was so loud, everyone quickly turned their eyes to it.

Ariel and Lydia's eyes widened as they failed to believe what they were seeing. John had grabbed it's hand which had been curled up into a fist.

”When did she...?” Ariel muttered

Ariel was surprised, not by John's sudden movement, but by Serena's. She didn't know what to say, and just stood there, speechless. She wanted to help but her legs wouldn't move. Why? Why wouldn't it move? She wondered.

Between her and Serena, Serena had always been the braver one. There was no doubt about it. In fact, she thought of it as stupid to even think about comparing it.

They had similar levels in ability when it came to magic. So then Why? Why was it that it was always Serena? How could she move under this pressure? Because she was a half-elf? Because she was older? These questions began to pass by Ariel's mind as she witnessed the phenomenon in front of her.

The figure of Serena's golden glowing hair and John's figure in front of her. With his hand holding on tightly to the demon's fist.

In that instant, John sent a kick straight at the demon's face. Without so much as raising it's hands to block it. The demon took the kick head on.

*Thud*

On impact, a loud thud could be heard as the kick made contact, yet the demon didn't move so much as a step. A chill went down Lydia's spine as she noticed the sharp grin on it's face after John, did so.

John's eyes widened when he tried using the demon's face as footing to leap back with Serena. His leg, was stuck to it's face as it was covered in a strange dark mass.

Without being able to leap away, the demon quickly moved it's hand to grab John.

”Sh-”

*Crackle* *Boom!*

Right before it could grab on to him. Yellow sparkles seemed to form in the air around John as a small golden explosion appeared in front of John, right where the demon was standing, sending it back a few meters.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *BOOM!!*

Following the first explosion, three more explosions all happened one after another, in the exact spot where the demon was standing.

Golden lights and flames flashed in front of John as he stared at what happened in front of him.

[What...?] John wondered in disbelief as he observed the explosions.

It was unbelievable. The explosions were accurately hitting at the demon even though without so much of a word being said. One right after another, no emittions or mana spells were hitting it. It was just exploding on it's own.

*BOOM!!* *BOOOM!!*

Seeing as how it's life was in danger, the demon quickly backed away, as another two explosions were let out. It took a large leap back, straight back onto the cube, and as it did so. The smoke from the rubble was pushed away as John released an outburst of compressed wind.
