Bang
Something smashed into the ground, destroying the surroundings with it.
"Graaa." A painful groan escaped from the newly created pit and it was from the Swinefiend. It had many scars on its body and many broken bones. But unlike other times, the injuries on its body didn't heal. Not that it didn't but at a much slower speed.
It looked ahead and saw three shadows streaking amidst the large canopies. One of them was Ragnar and the other two were the Gorebuzz.
Unlike the Swinefiend, they had no injuries on their bodies. But they were relatively tired. Especially Ragnar, who was sweating heavily.
With his ragged breath, Ragnar whispered softly. "They just can't die."
Ragnar was having a huge headache as he couldn't strike their vital parts that could kill them. Whenever he aimed there, they would be able to block it somehow.
'They seemed to be on guard from the moment I started aiming for their vital parts. No, it can't go on like this. This half baked try won't lead me anywhere.' Ragnar's eyes started to become firm and resolute. 'If it goes like this I will be the first one to drop. I should end this with all I have left.'
The Gorebuzz on the right swung its scythe at Ragnar, so did the one on the left. Ragnar put both of the scythe in his hand up, blocking the attack.
Ragnar who was holding this pair of scythe for this entire time finally let go of them. He grabbed their scythes with his hand and pulled them toward him, despite his hands bleeding intensely.
Ragnar released their scythes when they both came closer to him. The Gorebuzz found Ragnar's action as a stupidity as they saw this being their best chance to kill him.
They slashed toward Ragnar with their other scythes. In such a close range, it was inevitable Ragnar would get at least injured as they were faster than him.
Ragnar also knew that, so he just let them attack but not without doing anything. Before their scythes landed on his body, he slapped them down, letting it slice into his abdomen.
The Gorebuzz was confused as to why Ragnar did such a thing. However their confusion instantly turned into fear when they saw Ragnar's face who had a menacing smile on his face.
"I got you." Ragnar said with a grin on his face while holding back his pain. He flattened both of his hands and pierced them into their chests.
The Gorebuzz wanted to escape but to no avail as they felt their scythe being stuck inside Ragnar's abdomen. In the midst of their panic they weren't able to think of anything. They just had to watch Ragnar effortlessly pierce their hearts, instantly killing them.
"Huh…huh….huhu…..huh…" Ragnar took constant deep breaths as he watched the Gorebuzz's bodies limp over. He grabbed the scythes that were inside him and pulled them out.
Puchi!
"Arghh." A painful groan escaped Ragnar's mouth, just as the scythes came out. Blood guzzled down from his abdomen, with no sign of healing.
It was because he was out of energy. He didn't use any energy to kill the Gorebuzz earlier and it wasn't like he was about energy too. But that was not the case as he used the remaining energy to constantly heal his pierced abdomen, trying to hold the scythes in them, not letting them come out.
"Damn it. I don't even have the energy to eat their flesh and blood." Ragnar cursed, trying to grab the dead Gorebuzz.
Ragnar's plan was to use all of his energy to kill the Gorebuzz and use their body to regenerate his energy back as this was a demon's inborn skill. But Ragnar didn't even have the power to properly move his body.
Ragnar knelt on his knees and raised his head up. He said with a forced smile on his face. "Well, looks like the life my lord gave will be squashed now."
He couldn't help but say this as the Swinefiend was approaching him like a truck, with no sign of stopping.
Ragnar could see his life flashing before his eyes. "Thank you lord for at least giving me a chance to enjoy this power."
The Swinefiend had arrived just as Ragnar finished saying his gratitude. Ragnar looked at the Swinefiend stretching its club backwards to give a full blown swing and to that, Ragnar just had a smile on his face with no regret.
Puchi!!
But all of a sudden, something red flashed and the next second the Swinefiend's head dropped which had a dumbfounded expression on its face.
Ragnar was also surprised by the sudden turn of events.
Thud!
The Swinefiend's giant body dropped to the ground later along with its head, letting Ragnar finally see who it was.
"Miss…Ravenna…" Ragnar said softly as he didn't expect Ravenna to wake up.
Ravenna's face was stern and was filled with anger too. She retracted back her whip – made of her blood – into her back. She looked down at Ragnar and said with concern. "Lie down quickly, let me heal your wounds."
"No, just let me eat them and I will be okay." Ragnar denied, glancing at the dead bodies.
Ravenna didn't pay heed to what he said and forcefully laid him down. She pulled the blood out of the dead bodies and inserted them into Ragnar's open wounds. They flowed into it like they were in small pipes.
Then in a minute or so, the two giant wounds on Ragnar's body were close to healing them into their previous states.
Ragnar was surprised by this as he knew consuming or using other people or demons' blood would heal any injured demon but it would take time to digest properly. However, that was not the case with Ravenna's healing method.
Under a minute Ravenna was able to heal him to perfection and even regenerate some of his energy back.
How could Ragnar not be shocked?
