Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 134 - 134- Difficult Battle (3)

Although his body was covered in wounds, they weren't lethal enough to hinder his fight and would recover naturally if given enough time. Stabilising his breathing, Simon looked at Laris and gave him a wide smile, trying to tell him that he was enjoying it.

As if getting the message, Laris mood immediately soured and he threw out a few more lightning bolts towards Simon. this battle was supposed to be over when he forcefully activated all of his skills and yet the demon doggedly dodged and hanged on. His temper was at its limit and it couldn't be anymore foul.

BANG'¦ BANG'¦ the land was already devastated to the point of being unrecognisable from the aftermath of their clash but the combatants even while tired kept dishing out one attack after another.

Simon cast his own flame magic to clash with the incoming lightning attacks and his body which was already battered, was pushed back even further. After he deflected those attacks, more of them came targeting him from all sides.

It could be seen from Laris'attacks that he was losing his patience and was using all of his powers to suppress and defeat Simon as fast as possible. Keeping all those skills activated might be taking a great toll on his body.

Even when lightning came pouring down at him like a tide, Simon still hanged on like a boat that refused to topple down even during a storm. There was no way he was going down, not before taking down his enemy.

His resolve to become stronger was what made him keep on enduring the tempest of attacks that shaved away at his HP and bide for time. He knew that as long as he could endure for a little longer, victory would surely be his. There was no way Laris could remain standing after the duration of the skills are over.

As if realizing what the demon was planning, Laris squinted his eyes and immediately charged towards Simon with a flash of lightning. No matter what he has to finish the demon before the buff from the skills are over.

"You can't defeat me demon. I am far superior and powerful than the likes of a vile demon like you" Laris voice which was coated with malice and arrogance rang out all across the area. His lightning slashes was so fast and powerful that whenever it grazed past his skin, it would leave a deep wound.

It was as clear as a day that Laris was trying to enrage the demon, disturb his composure of mind and an opening to arise. Simon did not fall for such obvious provocations and did not show any openings for his enemy to exploit.

At this moment his high defence stat was completely useless against Laris whose lightning enhanced attacks were powerful enough to ignore it altogether.

CLANG'¦ CLANG'¦ CLANG'¦ powerful clashes kept on ringing as sparks generated everywhere. Simon did his best to fend off all the lightning-fast attacks that were aimed at his vitals.

BANG... his hardened claws were once again broken and Simon was sent flying back from the recoil. Seeing the opportunity, a wide smile crept up to Laris face and he made an unusual stance that he hadn't displayed before in their fight.

Gripping onto his twin blades tightly, he poured every iota of his strength and mana within the Twin Blades and paid an extreme amount of attention towards his movement.

Feeling a vague resonation between his energy and blades, he swung it in a wide horizontal arc and at that moment, two bolts of dense blue lightning came gushing out of the blade and charged towards Simon.

With a flap of his wings, Simon killed the momentum and straightened his body which was about to hit the ground and landed on his feet. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he gave a fierce smile before bringing out his claws once again.

No matter how many times Laris broke them since it is part of his body, new ones appear soon after. This time he also conjured many flame spears to bombard his enemy and create some distance.

Just as the flame spears fully manifested using his flame magic mastery, two dense bolts of lightning came targeting him. The two bolts of lightning showed faint traces of morphing into a dragon as it swiftly charged towards him.

Realising that he wouldn't be able to dodge it in time, Simon gritted his teeth and poured an enormous amount of mana on the dozens or so flame spears. As he kept on pouring his mana on the flame spear, the faint golden glow on the spears became brighter and more apparent.

The intensity of heat accompanying the flame spear had reached an unimaginable level. Clenching his hands tightly, Simon made a motion of throwing them towards the oncoming lightning dragon with all his strength.

Immediately after all the flame spears flew towards the lightning dragon like a rain and fiercely clashed against it.

BOOOOOM'¦ a devastating energy storm erupted when the two attacks met obliterating everything and anything in a hundred-meter area.

The land was flipped outside down from the shockwave and Simon's body which was already on the brink of exhaustion jolted back and only came to a stop after he skidded across the ground for a good long distance.

Laris also wasn't spared from the aftereffects of the shockwave as he too was sent flying dozens of meters. But contrary to Simon, his condition was much better and he coped with the shockwave hitting him much more easily.

Although he looked fine externally, he knew more than anyone how bad the condition of his body actually was. By now, his muscles were all internally bleeding, veins popped in his forehead, breathing ragged and he was preparing a lot.

Traces of exhaustion could be seen all over his face. Every Part of his body were currently screaming due to the repercussions of activating so many skills at once.

"Huff'¦ huff'¦ that damned demon is still alive even after this? This is bad my body won't last long I have to finish this battle fast" stabilising his breathing, Laris looked towards the other end of the crater and saw the demon desperately clawing to get back up.

The demon was clearly inferior to him in terms of techniques and experience and no matter how many times he beat him down, the demon kept getting up. He could see that Simon was on its last fumes and was hanging on with his sheer willpower but even then he couldn't grab the victory.

Gathering all of his power, Laris draped himself in blue lightning charged towards the demon once again. killing intent overflowing his body, he rushed to deliver the final blow with all of his strength.

RUMBLE'¦ with a flash of lightning, he was already on top of the demon who was hanging on with just his willpower and seemed not to have noticed him. Realizing that he had won at this moment, Laris gave a victorious smile and plunged his [C] tier twin blades onto the demon "Hell Lightning Plunge".

Maybe it was due to his instincts or his quickly growing combat experience, but the demon was able to put up a most basic of defence by crossing his arms and shielding his chest at the last moment. But it seemed that his efforts were futile as the blades swiftly stabbed through his arms as well.

SCHUNK'¦

Hehehehahah Laris laughed, although the demon put up a defence, the plunging blades that contained all of his strength penetrated through the arms and went inside the demon's chest.

SPLAT'¦ blood dripped down unceasingly from the wound and painted the ground red. "Hehehahahaha'¦" feeling the sensation of his blades stabbing through the demon, Laris burst into a wild joyous laughter and a frantic look appeared on his gaunt face.

"I won'¦ I won against the demon, I Laris defeated a Demon Viscount on my own'¦ Hahaha". Still grabbing on to the blades, he twisted them around and flashed a mocking smile when he saw the demon's face distort in pain.

"It seems I was the superior one, you vile demon.. Hehe, after you die I will destroy all you have and snatch away the things you took away from me" Laris declared directly looking at the crimson eyes of the demon.
