Chapter 79 { Ian vs the Demon Noble }

  " You are truly special, there is something strange about you " the Demon Noble said suddenly.

  Ian smiled " And you as well but I am smarter ".

  The Demon Noble did not understand until light shone in the sky, - This skill again! - the Demon Noble frowned and raised his hand.

  The light shone upon the battlefield while Ian smiled and turned into a shadow.

  Cheap trick - the Demon Noble mocked as he easily noticed Ian's location but when he wanted to move he found screams erupting from behind him.

  The skill did not descend, no there was no Comet of Light at all but there was Ian slaughtering the demon fighters around the cocoon with ease.

  " You flee under my eyes " he said coldly.

  " It is called deceiving you " Ian mocked and glanced at the time of the title ( Toward the Sky ).

  Two minutes have passed since I accelerated - Ian grabbed a number of demon fighter cores and devoured them immediately.

  " You? " the soldiers inside and the demons outside were shocked, usually they were the ones devouring humans but now they were being devoured! what kind of ridiculous joke was this and even stranger was Ian's power increasing, to the humans Ian was strong but hiding his strength and therefore the sight of his power increasing this fast shocked them.

  Strange ,,,, it is not as if the idea of absorbing demon cores is new, even we always do it after purifying the essence so that our energy does not become contaminated and we turn into madmen but even so each core especially fighter cores contain a large amount of energy and require a long time to absorb and purify unless one possesses a legendary skill but , even legendary skills are not this powerful, just what is this man hiding – Madas thought with clear astonishment on his face.

  " Damn you, it seems I have played with you too much, die " the Demon Noble said powerfully and then a giant shadow appeared behind him with three different heads one of a woman the second of a child and the third of an old man and six hands each holding a different weapon { sword, spear, hammer, axe, staff, scythe }.

  Ashura!.

  King of Hell.

  Lord of Souls.

  Lord of the Underworld.

  " Descent of Ashura ".

  Ian felt the power of the skill and trembled.

  " Enter the formation quickly, you cannot stop this attack " Madas shouted to Ian, as a bloodline race they grew upon their innate power like beasts, every higher level meant higher and stronger bloodline skills and Descent of Ashura was one of the defining skills of Demon Nobles and it was a symbol of dominance and grandeur.

  Rise of the Failed One operated at its maximum speed and energy in the hope of refining this power quickly but there was still a need for some time.

  Ian:- level 2 -7

  But this was still not enough, Ian possessed no defensive skills and therefore he faced power with power " Fist of Hell ", the Fist of Hell appeared like an eternal giant on the battlefield rising to meet this terrifying entity.

  Boooooooooooooooooom

  The two collided and the Fist of Hell shattered the moment it touched Ashura's shadow, the difference in power was enormous and now with the addition of distinctive skills the Demon Noble's power rose to higher horizons, Ian felt the force of the attack and there was no room to maneuver.

  " Be careful " Madas shouted but there was no escape.

  Boooooooooooooom

  Ian was crushed under this savage power, " It seems you are not strong enough " the Demon Noble mocked and with a slight movement reached the giant crater where Ian lay torn in a way difficult to recognize, his flesh and blood and original body were exposed as the mask cracked nullifying his disguise.

  " You?? " the Demon Noble was shocked as he saw the mask beside Ian and was stunned " This mask!, it is the mask of that bastard who slaughtered our kingdom!! how do you possess it? ".

  Ian returned to his true form and a terrifying pain assaulted him, Ian felt the pain tearing through his limbs and joints.

  The title ( Fierce ) was activated and the wounds burdening his body began transforming into determination that compelled him to fight and under the stunned eyes of the Demon Noble Ian's body began to regrow and reshape as if nothing had happened to it.

  " You are right, I am not strong enough but I will kill you and devour you and then I will be far stronger " Ian said.

  " This aura " the Demon Noble frowned as he recalled ancient scrolls within his race " what is your relation to that scoundrel? even,,,,,,,, wait his skills! , you are using his skills!???? ".

  Ian smiled " I do not know who you are talking about " his body swayed from excessive pain, even if he returned completely there was still difficulty in enduring this dreadful pain.

  The wounds began to disappear completely, veins and tendons connected and Ian appeared once more but not the same for his armor, Ian returned to his youthful form again and the carved muscles of his body stood out but this time these muscles were filled with a fierce and powerful aura and seemed forged from metal or rock, Ian's deep eyes deepened further and his expressions turned savage and the aura around him became like the demons themselves.

  The title Legend of Weakness was activated.

  - Traits : When fighting an enemy stronger than you his suppression will not affect you in anything.

  The title” Toward the Sky” was still active, the title” Demon Slayer” had not given any effects yet, the title “Fierce” had activated, Ian's energy had reached its peak but would it affect this battle!!? .

  " Descent of Ashura " the Demon Noble shouted again.

  Ian pulled his fist back and decided something different this time, he smiled and a bloodthirsty look appeared in his eyes – it is time to use it again -.

  " Moment of Glory " his gauntlets transformed into a touch of hell forming into a giant fist meeting Descent of Ashura, not like before but dozens of times stronger or even more.

  Booooooooooooom

  The explosion was as before but this time the one pushed back was the Demon Noble not Ian.

  " He was pushed back " the soldiers shouted from inside the cocoon.

  " How " the demons were shocked.

  " What are you looking at you fools ? , hurry and kill the humans and destroy this cursed cocoon " one of the demon fighters shouted and they executed their art again Heads of Death.

  " In my presence ,,,, you dream!!! " Ian appeared before him his right fist blazing with fire and light.

  Fist of Fire and Light.

  He had lost his gauntlets in the previous attack but his fist alone was powerful and also sacrificing the gauntlet was the only solution to distract the Demon Noble and gain a few seconds to increase his power, the demon fighter's body shattered and his upper half scattered into ash and the rest fell to the ground before turning into ash.

  Ian grabbed the core and swallowed it then turned to the rest " Your turn , Fist of Division , Shadow Fist , Fist of Fire and Light ".

  Three fists at once sank twenty demon fighters into the earth and turned them into ash, Ian displayed his power his experience and his dominance over these rotten creatures.

  Ian devoured them and his power rose.

  Ian level 2 -8

  " I will kill you " the Demon Noble shouted and appeared in the sky, behind him gigantic wings formed, the wings were of bone and darkness not of skin and flesh and what was woven between them was a completely dark aura it did not stop there as he extended his hand and a giant spear completely red appeared in it " To force me to take my weapon and injure me like this I will tear you apart and turn your head into a cup from which I drink human blood

  forever " , he was injured !! , for the first time he was injured in many years perhaps a few centuries almost and now he was injured at the hands of a trivial human as purple blood appeared from almost his entire body and worst for him the injuries were born from fire which made them painful.

  " You will regret it I swear to you, you will regret it and I will turn you into a ghost and play with you forever " the Demon Noble shouted " Spear of the End ".

  The Demon Noble turned into something like a falling comet, this attack would completely shatter Ian and finish him but Ian met this attack and smiled.
