"You know, this is one position I really don't want my girlfriend seeing me and another woman in so you're gonna have to get off, okay?"
Lensa was momentarily confused upon hearing his sudden out-of-context statement, a short moment the young hero took to fling her off his body with a swift circle throw.
He then rolled to the side to avoid the green-coloured spear of aura that dropped down to the ground where his head was a moment ago.
"I didn't use ranged attacks because you weren't good at them, but you don't seem to be appreciating my kindness."
Evan spoke those words as his fist shot forward, missing Lensa's head by a mere millimetre before she grabbed onto his hand and flapped her wings.
"Uh-oh."
The noble demon took off into the air with Evan in tow, soaring very high before pulling Evan's body upwards and punching him down to the ground.
Immediately after, she shot after him throwing another punch that sent him further accelerating towards the ground, blitzing towards him once again and repeating the same set of movements.
However, just before she could punch him the fourth time, the boy disappeared and reappeared behind her, grabbing onto her wings with both hands and forcefully stopping her flight.
"GUH!"
As she reeled back in shock from having her wings suddenly grabbed in the middle of her high-speed flight, Evan let go of one of her wings and pulled back his fist, punching forward immediately after and delivering a fracture to her shoulder bone.
"---!!"
Lensa let out a silent scream as the young hero repeatedly attacked the area where her wings were connected to her body, eventually flipping out and releasing a burst of demonic energy that sent him flying into the air.
Evan was forced to let go of the wing he was holding and even the aura foothold he was standing on was destroyed by her aura burst.
'Yeah right. I knew ripping out people's wings wouldn't be as easy as in the movies.'
Those were Evan's thoughts as he flipped around and created a foothold of aura mid-air, and used it to springboard himself back towards the ground.
'Hmm?'
Evan raised a brow, before pulling his fist back and activating paladin, coating his arm with his golden aura as he descended towards the ascending Lensa.
**BOOOMM!!!
The two's fists collided mid-air, with their violent auras clashing and resulting in an explosion that sent out shockwaves omnidirectionally.
Although they were knocked back temporarily by the shockwaves generated by their fists colliding, they dashed back to each other with Lensa flapping her wings and flying towards Evan who kicked off another aura foothold and shot back towards her.
And so began an exchange of fists in the air, with Evan hopping off multiple aura footholds to stay airborne while Lensa used her wings to remain in the air, moving at impossible angles and landing heavy hits on Evan while occasionally using her wings to smack him off his aura footholds.
'Tsk!'
Evan clicked his tongue internally as the golden aura encasing his arm turned red, with him activating fracture and paladin simultaneously before delivering a straight punch towards Lensa's chest.
**BAAAAAMMMM!!!
The noble demon was shot out of the air, crashing on the ground and forming a large couple hundred-metre-wide crater with her body in the centre.
Evan landed on the floor a few metres from her, kicking up a cloud of dust which he blew away with wind magic as he walked towards her while blowing out the blood in his nose.
'Kuro, tell Greed not to kill Faerora.
She'd be useful for acquiring information on the Demonic Hand's current movements.'
[Okay.]
After sending his message to Kuro, Evan then kicked off the ground and dashed towards Lensa who had just barely gotten up and spearing into her. As soon as her body slammed into the ground, the young hero delivered a right straight to her face.
The demon kicked him off her body and got to her feet, chasing after him with an aura-clad fist which she used to punch out the moment she was in range, however, Evan vanished from her sight and reappeared behind her, locking his arms around her waist tightly.
"H-huh?"
Lensa was surprised at his sudden action, however, her surprise didn't last for long as the moment she felt Evan pushing his hips in and tightening his grip, she understood what he was about to do.
Nevertheless, understanding it and being able to stop it were two different things entirely.
Although her wings made things harder, Evan didn't let go, digging his heels into the ground and arching his back, pulling her body along with his until she was over his head.
He disengaged his grip halfway through and threw her body over, causing her to slam onto the ground with the lower part of her neck and back.
Immediately after, he turned his body around and grabbed her legs that were raised up high, not giving her a chance to recover from the disorientation resultant of the earlier suplex as he began spinning her body around.
He sprung around on his feet while holding both her legs for about five times before finally flinging her body into the air with all his strength.
**BOOOM!!!
The noble demon flew out of the crater and slammed into a random nearby building, smashing through it from wall to wall and then going on to crash into the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, with Evan eventually losing count until she burst out of the last building on the block and rag dolled on the ground for a few dozen metres.
'How far has the flesh golem gone now?
With its slow speed, it should take more than a while to reach that town. We'd be able to catch up before then.'
Evan slowly walked towards the fallen demon, retracting the aura coating his arms as he spoke.
"You know, I've always wanted to ask this question.
About how exactly are the Demonic Hand's demons come about?"
