"You're powerful, but unfortunately for you, my ability is able to completely suppress yours." The demon spoke as a smirk appeared on his face.
He and Reign had been at it for a while and neither had managed to gain the upper hand, that was before they had used their abilities.
"My blood lightning is a special ability, it doesn't follow the spectrum of normal lightning like yours, it's impossible for you to win this." The demon said as Reign and he clashed.
Reign was currently only using his normal lightning and not the black-and-white one.
He and the others wanted to fight against the demons like this before exploding out with their full power, potentially catching the enemy off guard and causing some serious damage.
It was a risky plan as the demons were already stronger than them, by suppressing their full strength, Reign and the others were put in a much worse position and were mostly defending against the enemy attacks.
The red lightning the demon used was powerful, it didn't only possess powerful destructive capabilities, but there was also powerful bloodlust that was present in the lightning.
Each time somebody was struck by the blood lightning, the bloodlust would enter the body and try to corrupt him and make him lose control.
One had to deal with not only the destructive capabilities of the lightning but the bloodlust as well, which made fighting against a being that possessed it that much harder.
Just like the demon had said, Reign's lightning had nothing special going with it, it was lightning, fast and destructive, but that was it. It was slowly but surely being overwhelmed by the enemy and sooner or later, Reign would be defeated.
The worst part was that the demon was obviously not taking the fight as seriously as he could have. He would only occasionally use his sword to fight while most of the time he simply stayed back and launched his lightning at Reign without stopping.
Still, Reign was calm, he never responded to the demon's provocations and simply continued fighting. Even though the blood lightning was above his normal one, he was becoming more and more certain that it was no match for his black and white lightning, he simply needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to use it.
Wolf was having similar difficulties during his fight against the spear-wielding demon.
Compared to the one Reign was fighting against, this one was much more aggressive and was spewing all sorts of curses and belittlements at Wolf while fighting him.
The spear stabbed at Wolf as the latter blocked with his sword and attacked with his fire, only for the fire to be blasted away by the demon who simply put his hand forward.
"Haven't you learned anything yet, you moron?!" The demon shouted before laughing out loud and attacking Wolf again.
"Your fire is useless against me, I can simply keep blasting it away, you have chosen the worst enemy to fight against!" The demon spoke as his spear stabbed at Wolf who was calmly blocking it before attempting to slash at the demon who simply stabbed at Wolf's neck and forced him to dodge and abandon the attack.
Wolf simply stayed calm and looked at the enemy as he used his ability to blast away the arrows that Beast had sent his way as well.
"Useless, both of you!" The demon roared as he charged at Wolf again as the latter took a brief look around them. The fire was burning around them and it was becoming noticeably hotter.
'Just a little bit more.' Wolf thought as he took a glance at Shadow who seemingly had enough of acting weak.
His body was covered in darkness as he appeared behind the demoness and struck her, launching her flying for a couple of meters.
He and Laura were having it the easiest since Laura's skills worked much better on demons than on other enemies.
The demons had noticed it, but they first had to deal with Reign and the others before being able to help the demoness out. Even though they were winning, Reign and the others could still take advantage of them trying to help out and wound them.
Suddenly, the battle took a turn as Shadow was completely suppressing the demoness. His aura started rising higher and higher and the other demons took notice before trying to deal with the others quickly in order to help out.
The demon that wielded the blood lightning disappeared from the spot before appearing above Reign and attacking him.
A huge amount of blood lightning exploded out from him as he stared at Reign with a calm gaze.
"Sorry, that was fun, but this is the end."
"Agreed, thanks for coming so close and not holding back," Reign said as he smirked.
The demon constricted his eyes as alarm bells rang inside his head.
Reign's lightning suddenly disappeared before the white and black lightning appeared.
Simply sensing the power of the new lightning that Reign had summoned astonished the demon. The two different kinds of lightning struck one another and the blood lightning was at a clear disadvantage as it was being devoured and destroyed by Reign's lightning.
"You were hiding your true ability all along?!" The demon shouted as he blocked Reign's sword before being cut across the chest with another one.
The cut was shallow and barely any blood came out of it, but it was still enough to make the demon understand that their roles had now reversed.
Reign was no longer the one that held a disadvantage.
"Shit, what the hell is happening?!" The spear-wielding demon shouted as he felt the powerful auras of Reign and Shadow. He also saw how the two were now suppressing their enemy while Tank and Greenie had also started growing stronger.
"I'm afraid that you no longer have the luxury to worry about your friends," Wolf spoke as all the flames in the surrounding area suddenly came to him and gathered at his sword.
A 25-meter-long sword of flames appeared in his hands. Compared to how it was before Wolf managed to hit Tier II, the sword was now much denser and life-like.
He quickly slashed down at the demon who tried to use his ability to blast away the flames.
Boom!
The blast worked, albeit not as the demon hoped.
It managed to blast away a portion of the flames, but the sword was still there and was falling down on him.
The demon quickly used his spear to block the attack before being forced down on one knee. The powerful flames from Wolf's sword burned his body as the demon grit his teeth and attempts to get out of the situation.
Suddenly the sound of the air being pierced was heard as a 4-meter-long arrow was launched at the demon from Beast.
The demon stared at the now fused Beast in shock as he quickly put his left hand down and blasted at the ground.
The blast produced an explosion that was powerful enough to blast the demon back and allowed him to dodge the two attacks, but he was clearly injured from it as well.
As for Tank and Greenie, the two were now beating up the tall demon.
Greenie had entered his Vajra form while Tank used his ability to its maximum before getting rid of his shield.
The two grabbed the demon and managed to force his hammer away from his hands before entering a fistfight with him.
Alone, the demon held the upper hand as his physique was incredible and even Greenie in his Vajra form wasn't necessarily stronger, but when faced against two of them, he was at a clear disadvantage.
The two used no weapons and relied on their powerful bodies to take on the demon who did the same.
The ground cracked, rocks were pulverized to dust and trees fell as the three exchanged punches, none willing to back away.
'Shit, everyone come over here, the mission has failed!' The tall demon suddenly spoke telepathically to the other 4 who suddenly took out a small gem.
The four activated the gems before the tall demon used a lot of his mana to unleash a powerful explosion and push away Tank and Greenie before taking out a different gem and crushing it.
Suddenly the four demons were covered in red light before they teleported over to the tall demon.
They all stared at Reign and the others with hostility, but none attacked.
"We underestimated you today, that will not happen again." The tall demon spoke before taking out another gem. He crushed the gem and the five were suddenly surrounded by a cloud of black smoke that started covering them up.
"We will be back." The spear-wielding demon said as he stared at Wolf.
"No need, we will be coming over to you guys soon, we can't let your hospitality go to waste." Reign said as he smiled at the demons who all stared at him before being fully covered by the smoke and disappearing from the spot.
