NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1443: Escape
-----
BOOOM!
The demons overwhelming Erdrich were sent flying everywhere and then disintegrated by the shockwave combined by his flames, he opened his jaws, gathering energy and releasing a Demonic Laser from his mouth, blasting through the entire army of thousands.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As this happened, he already prepared to fight even further, using [Energy Fusion] to combine his energies even further, boosting their explosive power and effectiveness, while making his demonic power even stronger.
"{Battle Maniac Domain}!"
He smashed the floor, as his Aura exploded, encompassing hundreds of foes around him within a domain of his own creation, a domain of bloodshed, war, and death, where countless demonic spirits born from Erdrich's wrath surged, attacking all foes at once.
Using his own techniques and skills, they tore apart the demons he trapped inside his domain with ease, as the Domain came to an end to reveal to the rest of the army as a chunk of their warriors had perished out of nowhere.
"And I've got more where that came from! Anybody want to go for another?!"
As Erdrich roared, the demons stepped back, even the demonic beasts were left shocked and afraid, they couldn't understand, let alone comprehend the level of power he had. He far surpassed Demon Generals, Demon Dukes, and even Demon Archdukes.
It could be said he was truly at the level of a Demon Prince or above that! Could he even be comparable to the feared Archdemons? No! The Demons thought that impossible! And yet…
The aura he exuded, his sharp eyes, and his mighty voice, alongside his regal demonic appearance, his multiple arms, his demonic crown, everything about this Cambion exuded an Apex Demon, a perfect demon among all others…
"T-This…! You cowards, fight! FIGHT!"
The Demon Generals present in the army roared, forcing the army to charge once more, although they were afraid this time, very afraid, Erdrich wasn't merciful however, as his skills activated, and he unleashed an even stronger ability!
"{Asura's Wrathful Aura}!"
RUMBLE!
His aura turned deep red and black, as a giant multi-armed demon emerged from within it, smashing the floor and killing dozens of demons with each punch, hundreds within mere seconds.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"DAMN IT!"
"KILL HIM!"
"RAAAHHH!"
Three Demon Generals roared, rushing forward, they didn't even say their names, but looked quite different from one another. One of them looked like a giant black and red alligator-headed lizardman, the second was like a golden monkey with fiery eyes, and the third a muscular, red-skinned orc-like demon.
They had potent auras, charging together and pushing the Cambion back, using their arms to grab his many arms and using the third's help to push him down, as they summoned their mighty Demonic Weapons, aiming to impale his entire body with them!
"DIE!!!"
As they roared in unison, the weapons hit Erdrich's body and…
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Nothing happened.
"Huh?!"
"What?!"
"Impossible…!"
Their eyes widened, as their weapons shattered as they further tried to slice through Erdrich's skin… Indeed, he was immensely physically tough. Thanks to Blake's training, not only did Erdrich forge and reinforce his physique, but he also evolved it several times, further boosting his physical endurance.
And the more demonic power he used, the harder his skin became… to the point he was able to simply reflect these weapons with ease.
"My turn!"
"{Magic-Sealing Demonic Chains}!"
With a vicious smile, Erdrich wrapped his chains around his foes, dragging them along the battlefield and using them as weapons, hitting the other demons with them and smashing them onto the floor over and over again while seeing how their tough bodies tore apart their own army.
"AAAGGGH!"
"STOP YOU FUCKER!"
"YOU BASTARD!"
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Eventually Erdrich burned them to a crisp with his spirit flames, turning them into bones and then ashes, as his chains were freed, but reutilized instantly, as he used them as deadly whips, whipping through the floor and smashing the demons one by one, rapidly pushing them away, armies after armies being stopped from even reaching him.
Although he was handling things just fine, Erdrich, however, was still growing slightly more tired, he was gasping for air, the atmosphere of this place was intoxicating, and he was trying to resist his demonic impulses from taking over him completely… this put a toll on him more than the actual battle itself.
Patricia knew that that was the very reason why she was told to bring him here, she constantly moved her hands and her metallic tentacles, ultimately…
FLAAASH!
Arranging all runes into place and finally writing the spell correctly!
Suddenly, a crack through space opened, revealing a Demonic Gate leading right where they came from, Patricia called Erdrich.
"NOW!"
He ran towards her, grabbing her and leaping into the gate a second afterward, as the demonic army approached them rapidly, trying to get through the gate, Patricia closed it.
FLUOSH!
As it closed, the demons that managed to sneak in were split apart by space itself being divided, tearing apart the demonic beasts and demons, as Erdrich and Patricia landed on an empty area of the area, clashing into it.
CRASH!
"Ugh… that was intense," Erdrich sighed, looking at Patricia in his arms. "But it looks like we made, well done."
"I did my best…" Patricia nodded. "I'm sorry for taking so long… that was a complicated spell, but now that I've learned it, I've engraved it into my own blood."
"Your blood?" Erdrich asked.
"Yes, it's part of my unique connection with my Spirit, Iron Slimes," Patricia explained, showing a wound in her hand as her blood dripped, Erdrich saw many little slimes made of liquid metal.
"Wait, what? How is that possible?" Erdrich asked, as he stood up, letting Patricia stand as well.
"It's just how my ability is, you only have seen the surface area I show to everyone," she said. "But my Iron Slimes are part of the Iron inside of my own blood… I can manipulate them through that and even infect others with it."
"That's amazing…" Erdrich nodded. "So you only had one Spirit…"
