385 True Demon
—–
The mirages of light in the shape of swords clashed against the woman in an instant, pummeling her into the floor. Her darkness shielded her, shaping into a bubble. However, my light was stronger and pierced through the defenses of her darkness even strongly. In mere seconds, the light began to pierce through her darkness, making it all dissipate. Her clothes, which seemed to be infused with magic began to be torn apart, as her mask cracked, revealing to me one of her red-colored eyes, and a bit of her hair, it was blue.
“AGGGH...!”
She cried in agony as I mercilessly attacked her once more. I infused even more Mana into my sword, ready to finish her off for good. I wasn’t going to let someone that had provoked the death of many stay alive just like this... or at least, I won’t let her escape, I’ll knock her down!
“How come you’re not paralyzed by my venom...?” She asked in surprise, her tone of voice suddenly changing, the crazed voice she had before quickly turned into what I assumed to be her actual normal voice. Whatever devise her mask had, it stopped working after I broke a part of it.
“I told you it wasn’t going to stop me!” I roared back, as my blade unleashed a beam of light directed towards her.
“RAAAH!”
She roared back at me, swinging her spear, as a beam of darkness clashed against my beam of light. The elements were opposites of one another, quickly exploding and spreading out smoke, clouding our vision.
“I’ll give it to you, you’re surprisingly strong... But that’s about it.”
.....
TRUUUMMM...!
As her voice resonated in front of me, the magic circle in the floor began to activate, the souls of the fallen being almost fully absorbed, as a gigantic arm emerged from the magic circle, covered on bright red skin and scales and horns, alongside sharp black claws, a being, of humanoid shape, started to come out.
“You humans love to call us demons... But can you even recognize a true one when you see it?!” She said mockingly, as an enormous pair of bat-like wings with red membrane emerged from the magic circle, alongside the humanoid face of what looked like a being I had never seen before.
A true... demon?

Suddenly, it began to laugh evilly, his two sharp red eyes glaring at me. I suddenly felt a shock of energy hitting me, throwing me down into the floor.
BAAAM!
“Unnggh...?! W-What is this power... This is not... magic!”
I couldn’t help but groan in pain, too shocked to realize this strange and foreign energy was not magic, and my body wasn’t even to resist it even when I had activated [Yggdrasil’s Endurance]!
“Of course it is not magic! True Demons are not from our world, they come from the Realm of Demons, and they’re thirsty to devour the life of any world they’re summoned into... When you give them enough sacrifices and the blood of innocents, they’ll come to help us! We naturally hold the talent to bring them here!” Laughed the woman, as the enormous demon slowly began to come out of the magic circle. “The power they wield is called... Demonic Energy!”
“Ahhh~ The fresh flesh of a little girl, ready for picking! Ripe as it can be!”
The demon suddenly began to speak with a strange dialect I could somehow still understand, as his eyes locked themselves into my body prostrated in the floor. I was trying my best to stand up, but even with all the strength I had, it was impossible.
His claws slowly approached my body, suddenly grasping it, I felt my bones quickly beginning to break as if they were twigs, the strength of this otherworldly monster was pure and utter insanity.
FLAAAASH!
However, something suddenly made the demon stop its attack, as the magic circle that was summoning him suddenly disappeared!
POOF!
“U-Unnggh?!”
The Demon, half summoned, found himself sliced in half from his torso, bleeding over the floor while agonizingly struggling to keep himself alive. I then realized that the magic circle was stopped in time by Zack and Aquarina, who came rushing to fight, stopping the demon’s hands by blocking his attack with their weapons!
“Ocean Knife Arts: Oceanus Harpoon!”
“Thunderstorm Axe Arts: Thor’s Rage!”
An enormous harpoon made of water emerged out of Aquarina’s dagger, while the lightning that Zack unleashed suddenly merged with Aquarina’s attack, forming an enormous storm of lightning and oceanic water falling over the demon’s hands.
BOOOM!!!
“GRYYYAAAAHH...!”
The True Demon gave out a pitiful groan in agony, as he suddenly was thrown into the floor, rolling pathetically. The beast still alive even with half of his body gone, was clinging to his life while slowly weakening due to his constant bleeding.
“Y-You two!” The woman roared angrily, trying to attack Zack and Aquarina before I stopped her, unleashing thousands of slashing light blade attacks against her!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
“You’re not going to get closer to them!!!”
I need more... more strength!

[Your mind is being clouded by rage, but your strength and vitality had risen exponentially]
“RAAAAAH!”
My vision suddenly turned completely red, as the only thing I was able to see was the woman and the demon, who suddenly tried to team up against my rage. The woman’s spear tried to pierce through my body several times, but I parried her with my sword, which was emanating a furious red aura.
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
