Blood Assimilation

However, Vairon noticed the changes in his gaze after he looked at Tiana, and he recognized his gaze and the meaning behind it.

It was greed!

Although he had no idea why the Demon General was staring at Tiana with those eyes, it still didn’t change the fact that he couldn’t let him get closer to his comrades at this time.

“Damn it! If you’re not willing to attack, I will attack you instead. Eliana, support me with your magic!”

After he said so, he had already charged forward while brandishing his Sacred long sword. After imbuing the blade of his sword with mana, he immediately activated his familiar skill.

Sacred Sword!

Within a moment, his sword glowed with intense holy light. It then extended for a few meters before he slashed downwards, unleashing a blinding golden sword light at the Demon General.

Demon General Jarkoffin didn’t even bother to dodge and merely used his dark aura to block and consume the sword light.

.....

One would assume that he would be weak against light attribute attack since he had dark attribute mana, but that was not the case for those with ultimate power.

As long as the other party’s power level was less than theirs, they would always prevail against them, regardless of the attribute of their mana. This was also the case regardless of how much of their weak mana they used to activate their skills.

And that was the case here. Even though Vairon had used his full strength to unleash that golden sword light, it wasn’t enough to defeat Demon General Jarkoffin. He was leagues above him in terms of both qualities of power and strength.

Vairon was shocked for a moment before he sucked his teeth in frustration and turned to face the young girl behind.

“Eliana! Now-”

Before Vairon could finish his sentence, an unstoppable weight fell on his entire body forcing him to the ground a moment later.

BOOM!

He fell flat on the ground as he felt his insides churning. He was flattened by this unknown pressure, unable to get back up no matter what he tried.

“Hmph! You truly are worms. Just my pressure is enough to make you feel hopeless and drive you to despair.”

After saying this, Demon General Jarkoffin turned to face the young girl and said: “Now it’s your turn, little female human.”

For some reason, despite his policy of not attacking weaklings, he took the initiative to attack this time. Perhaps, it was his instincts or simply because this human did not appear to be afraid of him as much as the others.

No matter the reason, it didn’t matter anymore, as a deadly shadow fist loomed closer to the young human girl in front of him.

The power behind the shadow fist is capable of devouring the source of her entire existence from the world.

This is one of Demon General Jarkoffin’s deadly attacks- Shadow Fist of Destruction.

Whoever gets hit by this move would experience a mental breakdown from having their consciousness destroyed by the shadow fist. This was a skill used against those he couldn’t defeat in battle in terms of physical strength.

And yet, he used such an attack on a female human he initially considered a weakling. Not to mention that she was only a young human girl. Even for a demon, it was too much.

If others of his kind saw this, he would be condemned. However, there was no one around to judge him for his action, anyway.

Meanwhile, Eliana had a serene look on her delicate face as she ignored the incoming attack. Instead, she calmly looked at her comrades who were easily defeated by the Demon General for a brief moment, and then she let out a long sigh.

Soon after, she turned to face the incoming attack and she hastily mumbled a few inaudible and incoherent words.

And then that was when it happened.

Profound and seemingly boundless energy erupted from her small body, causing her robe to flutter even though there was no wind blowing in the vicinity.

Furthermore, as if time itself had been stopped within a few miles radius, Demon General Jarkoffin’s seemingly destructive shadow fist attack stopped in mid-air in front of Eliana, which shocked him greatly.

Demon General Jarkoffin had his eyes widen in shock from witnessing the unstoppable and otherworldly power, which exuded out of the tiny body of that human girl before shattering his almost full-out attack that should’ve turned her into meat paste.

Moments later, she stared at the Demon General in the distance. This startled him enough to make him flinch on the spot as he suddenly felt shivers from her cold gaze.

Demon General Jarkoffin’s eyes were still wide in shock, and with his body trembling, he spoke with an expression of disbelief: “Y-Y-You... Such power... Impossible... Who are you?!”

Without wasting any more of his breath trying to figure out what had happened or who she was, he quickly turned tail and ran away as fast as he could.

His instinct was screaming at him to run away without looking back. Otherwise, only death awaits him.

Therefore, there was no way he was willing to risk his life just to find out who that person was.

What was the point in even finding out? He could already guess the identity of that young girl even without hearing her say it herself.

Therefore, he needed to run away as quickly, and as far as possible. Since there was no way that he could defeat someone like her.

Meanwhile, Eliana mumbled something to herself as countless magic circles appeared around her body. Following this, the aura she emitted dissipated shortly after when she saw the Demon General run away from fright.

Moments later, she murmured to herself: “So this is my limit, huh? What a bother.”

....

On the other side.

Randy, who had finished healing the other team members of the green-clothed young woman, suddenly felt his blood boiling and his heart palpitating intensely for some reason.

Seeking the source of his sudden reaction, he instinctively looked in a certain direction, where an overwhelming power surged for a brief moment before settling down.

Randy was shocked when he sensed this power. He had never felt such terrifying power before, and it made him feel like this world was quite dangerous if someone with such power existed among them.

He then turned to face the black-haired girl who was carrying the unconscious stout young man but found that both her feet were trembling on the spot for some reason.

Seeing that, Randy could only surmise that he probably wasn’t the only one who felt that overwhelming power, or how unfathomable that power just then truly was.
