53 Isll Be Back 2 (1/2)

Blade and Dagon stood off to the side, their battle intent roaring as the fended off Dyon's weapon's hell attacks.

Dyon roared, his body expanding to 2.5 meters tall as he swung out to block Hashim and Lehabim. His eyes flashed with red and gold as he covered the area above him with 3 defensive formations, each larger than the one before, blocking the rain of arrows.

”What is this…”

”Is that a body cultivation technique?”

”His aura… it's frightening”

”That's… 2nd level demonic will.”

Hashim and Lehabim were blasted away as celestial qi swirled around their weapons, dissipating its strength.

Dyon felt the sword in his hands expand to 3 meters long, increasing many times in weight. He held onto it tightly, covering himself with defensive formation after defensive formation, looking towards the geniuses with cold eyes.

”This is all you've got? Pathetic…”

Blood seeped out of Dyon's mouth as he spoke. His internal injuries were still not healed and using the amplification technique while in any state was already taxing enough.

An arrow pierced through Dyon's formation, deeply cutting into his skin, but Dyon didn't seem to notice.

Turning his demonic eyes towards the Storm family, a devilish grin appeared on his face.

In a flash he disappeared, appearing before Callidora and sending a slash towards her.

BOOM!

Callidora used her spear guard to block, but she was still sent flying, coughing up blood as she skipped across the water.

PIERCE*

Dyon felt a short sword slide into his shoulders as Baal slowly slid and twisted the blade in, looking into Dyon's eyes with a fierce glare.

”It seems you're angry,” smirked Dyon.

Baal said nothing as he pulled the sword out, sending a barrage of attacks toward Dyon.

Dyon's sword play was incomparably sharp and refined, he parried and blocked, stabbed and twisted, but the attention he had to divert to blocking the raging geniuses was too much. Attack after attack bombarded his sphere of defenses as he tried to distract them with his quickly weakening weapon's hell arrays. As time past in his struggle with Baal, more and more arrow and sword wounds littered his body.

RRROOOOOAAAARRRRR

Dyon's body expanded again, covering himself in black crystal covered scales. A layer of celestial will coated him, blocking most attacks that made it through. The drain on him was immense, but he had something he needed to do.

”What the hell is this guy doing?”

”He's not even trying to dodge anymore”

”He doesn't even have enough stamina to form those weapon's arrays anymore…”

Ava stood on the deck of the ship under the cloak of invisibility, tears streaming down her face as she watched Dyon fight. Venus, who was standing by her side, felt a tight grip on her hand, but she didn't protest.
