151 Ancient Titan, Right Hand (1/2)

Explosions of fire and lightning were covering the sky as Ezequiel and the Goristro continued their fight and their giant bodies crashed against each other.

The Blood Diamond Skin granted Ezequiel impressive physical defenses. But still, he now had deep wounds all over his body from where blood, whose color was a combination between red and blue, was leaking.

The condition of the Goristro was much worse, his left arm has become nothing more than a mangled mass of flesh. There were imprints with the form of a fist that had burned the demon's skin all over his body and they were located where his heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, and stomach were present.

Despite lightning and thunder harming his vital organs, and destroying his body from the inside out, there was not a single shred of fear in Goristro's eyes and you could only see insanity.

The two were severely hurt, but the killing intent in their attacks only increased. You could see in the eyes of one lighting and coldness and in the other fire and madness as their fight reached the climax.

Ezequiel was winning the fight, as the damage he had taken was inferior. But his situation was very dangerous since his energy pool was almost empty and it would not be long before he could no longer have Star Crusher and Blood Diamond Skin active.

The lightning that was leaving Ezequiel's body was forming five giant fingers almost as big as him behind his back, and they began to connect with each other as a palm started to appear.

This was Ezequiel's Rank 2 Innate Spell. The power it was generating was impressive but it was the same for the energy it needed.

”ROOOAAARRR!”

Even in his enraged state, the instinct of the Goristro warned him about the danger of that hand, so he attacked with even greater ferocity.

Ezequiel was feeling extremely tired and he knew that it was a matter of seconds before his energy was depleted, but that did not weaken his attacks.

The Goristro tries to pierce him with his horns, but Ezequiel dodged them at the last moment and he sent a kick to the demon's knee, breaking it.

The pain must have been immense but the Goristro ignored it, and with his right hand, he punched Ezequiel in the chest, right where his kick had landed at the beginning of the fight and had broken his ribs.

Instead of resisting the attack, Ezequiel took the opportunity and taking the momentum of the punch, he sent his body flying backward, and as he did, he made hundreds of lightning spears appear in his path as he sent them to the Goristro.

His runic set deactivated and his diamond skin disappeared, as he made the last of the energy in his body rush and sent it to the lightning hand behind him.

Ezequiel was hoping that the distance between the Goristro and him would give him enough time to finish his Innate Spell now that he had spent all of the remaining energy he had at it.

But the Neo-Demon realizes that he made a mistake as he saw what could only be described as a flaming meteorite, charging at him without any intention of dodging those lightning spears.

The Goristro was flying at an impressive speed and despite bleeding from every single part of his body, and having lightning harming his organs, he managed to get close to Ezequiel very quickly.

Ezequiel knew that he could not fight against the Goristro directly in his current condition, and as he prepared to use his Mirage rune and teleport, he heard a dragon cry.

Along with the cry, a compacted column of dark sonic force was fired and landed on the Goristro's unprotected chest.

The demon was too focused on Ezequiel and did not notice Sophia's attack, whose runic set was active and formed a black witch outfit over her body.

That attack had taken an immense toll on her. After using it, her runic set deactivated immediately and she flew away from the battlefield and hid behind the Brain Golem that was protecting Dante, as right now, her energy pool was practically empty.

”AHHHHH!!!”

The strength in the beam of dark sonic force did not do too much damage to the Goristro but after an instant, the skin where the attack landed withered at an impressive speed, and his sensibility to pain increased by a factor of ten.

And that was just the beginning. Pustules started to develop all over his body, his blood started to rot, he lost sight, fever was so immensely high that it threatened to burn his brain. It was as if dozens of different curses attacked all at the same time.

As a Rank 3 demon with a very powerful bloodline, the Goristro will be able to suppress those curses in a matter of minutes.
