Chapter 98 Savage Red Raven (1/2)
'...So, which of his skills did I absorb?' Levi looked down at the ball of light.
'.....Sigh, nothing is ever easy.' He sighed.
”...” He found himself back in demonic city as he opened his eyes.
Step. Step.
He walked from the destroyed house.
”...Kept me waiting long enough.” Elder rock snorted.
”...” Levi looked around.
'....Something feels off.' He thought.
' The sky looks kind of....dark?' He glanced up.
”....What did you do?” Levi asked without emotion.
” Hehehe, wouldn't you like to know.” Elder rock laughed.
Puft!
A Semi-Transparent wave of black mental energy emanated from Levi's mental energy flame.
”...His qi is spread all over this place....what is that bastard playing at?” Levi mumbled to himself.
”....Whatever.” Levi said.
Boom!
His foot slammed heavily into the ground.
Blood energy coated his right arm, as his left hand became black and doubled in length.
' Are you planning to fight with your arm broken?' The demon saint asked.
”....I don't have enough excess blood to heal it, so I don't have a choice.” Levi said softly.
' Hmm? But didn't you just heal your other arm?' The demon saint questioned once again.
” I don't know how it works in detail but, if I use more than the leftover blood for anything, my blood energy level will drop.”
” This happened not too long ago.” Levi looked down at his arm.
' That guy is planning something, but....' Levi paused.
”...” He kept silent as his leg muscles bulged under his robes.
”!!!”
Levi shot toward elder rock swiftly.
” Humph!” Elder rock snorted, as black qi surrounded him.
”...” Levi silently punched out with his right arm.
” Black vortex!” Elder rock shouted.
The black qi spiraled around Levi's fist, stopping it in place.
” Humph.” Raising his left hand, Levi snorted.
Glowing red lines adorned his hand, as he slashed down.
Elder rock lifted a qi sword shape to block Levi's attack.
Crack!
”...” The sword shape shattered on contact, causing Elder rock's expression to dim.
Levi's fingers tore through elder rock's robes, along with his flesh, leaving 5 deep gashes across his chest.
Elder rock jumped back, opening some distance.
” You are not getting away.” With a flap of his wings, Levi appeared before elder rock once more.
He stabbed out with his left hand at full force.
Deng!!!
” Hmmm?!”
A black wall without a fixed shape appeared in front of Elder rock, blocking Levi's attack.
” Black Demon Domain!” Elder rock shouted from behind it, his eyes glowing a deep red.
”...” Blood energy gathered around Levi's leg, as his body spun.
Boom!!!
A shockwave rippled out.
Levi kicked out at the wall with all of his strength, but it just changed shape, blocking him seemingly effortlessly.
” You've lost your momentum.” Elder rock sneered.
The black wall warped to allow Levi to see Elder rock's face.
” You've also lost your chance to kill me....” Elder rock paused.
” Black giants..heed my call...As the supreme ruler in my domain, I order you...come out and kill for me!” Elder rock shouted.
Rumble!!
The ground trembled as a ghastly black qi rose from it.
” You! How can you use such a large amount of qi?!” Levi shouted as veins bulged on his forehead in anger.
” Humph!” Elder rock snorted as he glared at Levi, ignoring the line of blood flowing from his mouth.
” I would pay attention if I were you!” Elder rock sneered.
” Hmm?” Levi looked back through the corner of his eyes.
Behind him stood 5 black humanoid creatures with glowing red eyes.
These creatures were twice the height and width of regular adults, easily towering over elder rock himself.
”....ah?” Levi glared.
4 of the giants collapsed into formless qi, rolling like fog towards Levi.
They materialized once again after closing in on Levi.
The air around Levi trembled as he blocked the attacks of the four giants.
His wings blocked a punch and a kick respectively, while he stopped a kick with his left hand.
His blood energy coated leg stopped the last giant's punch easily.
”!!!”
Alarm bells went off in his head as the final giant appeared behind him.
Booom!!
” Kuh!!”
The ground quaked as Levi's blood shield barely held up against the giant's powerful attack.
”...That bastard!” Levi forced out.
' Ahahahaha, he gave one of them all of the power, and baited you by having the weaker ones attack first! I love it!' The demon saint laughed out happily.
” What are you laughing at?!” Levi shouted.
Even under the blood shield, he was still pinned to the ground by the pressure of the fist.
” AAAUOHHHHHHHH” The giant roared.
' Now!' Levi swiftly shot out from under the blood shield as the giant retracted its fist.
The giant dematerialized before reappearing beside Levi almost instantly.
” Fool! Did you forget where you are?! As long as you are in this dome of qi, no matter where you go, my giants will follow you!” Elder rock shouted vehemently.
' Tsk!'
Booom!
Levi was knocked from the sky by a large fist.
His body was pushed to its limit as he landed on his feet.
” Ugh!”
Veins bulged on his aching body, as he swallowed a mouthful of blood.
' Hmm?' Levi reached into the spatial ring before pulling out a dagger with a golden handle.
He lengthened it with blood energy, using its blade as the foundation.
” Heheh...” Levi laughed.
In an instant, the giant appeared before him.
Levi moved to the side in an attempt to dodge, but it was pointless as the giant kicked out.
Using his wings as a shield, Levi was once again knocked away.
” Humph.” Levi snorted softly, as he flapped his wings backward, stopping himself easily.
”I thought you were smarter.” Levi said as he lowered himself from the sky.
” Hmmm?! there is....” Elder rock mumbled.
” Giant! Kill him now!” Elder rock shouted with bloodshot eyes.
” Stop.” Levi spoke coldly, as the tip of his wing curled around a girl's neck.
” Youuu!!!” Elder rock bellowed as the giant stopped in its tracks.
” If these things were so important to you, then why didn't you move them to a safer place?” Levi glanced down at the 4 girls.
” What kind of man are you? Despicable!!”
” Coward! Coward!! Coward!!!”
” Save me!!”
”...”
The girl with Levi's wing around her neck kept silent.
” Let them go. They are not part of this fight!” Elder rock trembled with anger.
” Oh? But I beg to differ!” Levi shouted with snide laughter.
” Now stick out your neck! You DO want to save these girls, don't you?” Levi sneered disdainfully.
” If you don't let them go-” Elder rock was interrupted.
Thump!
A head fell to the ground.
” My hand slipped.” Levi said in a regretful tone.
” Kyaaa!”
” Hurry and save me!!”
Two of the 3 remaining girls shouted.
”...” Veins bulged on elder rocks face, but he kept silent.
”.....I'm sorry. I can't save you.” He suddenly spoke.
” What? You-” One of the girls shouted as all hope drained from her face.
” Please, die for my sake.” Elder rock said as he looked up, his eyes red from anger.
' It seems negotiations have broken down! hahaha!' The demon saint laughed.
” So it seems!” Levi smiled.
In the end, people would still choose themselves over others.
This firsthand experience put him at ease.
” Black demon domain; Weapons world!” Elder rock shouted.
Black qi rose from the ground, forming weapons of different sizes and shapes, mainly blades.
” But what can you do?” Levi said as the blood beside him was sucked into his body.
His wings disappeared into his body.
Threads of silk grew out from his hand, as thick smoke rose from his body.
Two copies of himself were formed quickly.
” Cheap tricks!” Elder rock shouted as the giants shot out.
