Ascension Of The Lightning God - Chapter 77

He instantly broke the sound barrier. He was now moving so fast, everything was a blur around him, and his target, the demon in the sky was visible. Shifting the position of his body Marcus prepared to punch his opponent.

BOOM!!!

Another sky shattering boom was heard as the punch connected and sent the demon to the ground, using his electromagnetic fields, Marcus slowly stopped in mid-air, looking down he saw a huge crater on the ground, and in it was the demon that he punched.

Currently, he was slowly standing up, and from the looks of it, he wasn’t hurt. With a few presses on the phone, he sent his location to Mei, together with a message to come here. His punch just now was powerful, yet this guy was able to take it and come out fine.

He is strong.

“Who are you?!” The demon shouted, he started to float in the air, and he slowly approached Marcus. Looking deep into his eyes all could Marcus see was anger and malice.

“Who I’m I? It should be me asking who you are. You are a demon, and yet you dare to show up here?” Marcus had to stall for time. The chance that he is wrong, and that the demon in front of him isn’t the Demon King was non-existent.

There was no room to hold back. Marcus accelerated the energy inside his body, and the faint scars on his body lit up in a light blue color. In his right hand, Jrmungandr. In his left, a blade made from plasma. From his lit-up scars, lightning started to emerge, surrounding his body, creating a lightning armor.

“You don’t deserve to know my name, filthy human.” His hand moved, and a curved blade appeared. He grabbed it with grace, and with a flash, he disappeared.

Schlik!!!

As the two blades collided, sparks started to fly from the friction between them. The ear pricing sound speeded for miles, as if thousands of birds cried out at the same time.

Feeling the pressure that the demon was putting on his sword, Marcus was barely able to hold on. In his vision was demon king’s face, he could tell that he wasn’t going all out. Moving his other hand, he slashed with the plasma blade, forcing the demon king to dodge it. Using this gap, he made distance between them.

With no time to waste, Marcus began his assault and sent a bolt of lightning as thick as he was towards the demon king. At this point Marcus was smiling, for the first time in a long time, he was able to go all out.

Diffusing small part of his energy in the surrounding, Marcus created dozens of lightning spears, all of them powerful enough to crush a muntin.

The demon king looked at his blade, melted after he deflected the lightning with it. His opponent’s strength is very illogical. But he is still stronger; if he stays careful, he will win it soon. In his hand another blade appeared, it looked the same as the previous one, but the materials he used to make this one were much better.

Making his way towards the human, he started to dodge the lightning spears that were shot at him, and as he was about to avoid the last one, it stopped in front of him. Looking back, he saw the spears surrounding him from every direction.

“I have to admit, that’s a nice trick. But that’s all it is, a trick.” When he finished his words, all spears accelerated and hit him. The explosion was the size of a mountain and could be seen from miles away.

Before the dust could settle, a silhouette appeared. With his blade in hand, the demon king showed himself again. His body was unharmed; only some dust could be seen on his clothes. He aimed his blade at Marcus and vanished.

Deflecting the blade, Marcus struggled with all he had, the assault of the demon king didn’t stop no matter how many times he tried to stop it. Lightning was flying everywhere; the air had a thick smell of ozone. Their surroundings were already destroyed, the forest was on fire, and the smoke was slowly covering their field of view.

Demon king didn’t stop. Not even for a moment, wounds started to appear on Marcus’s body, the everlasting soma wasn’t able to keep up with how fast the wounds were appearing.

Marcus had to make more distance if it continues he will be killed before Mei gets here.

Taking a small bead from his pocket, he put it into his mouth. The demon king thought that it was a medicine or a pill that will heal him or boost his power. What he didn’t expect was that this human would suddenly shoot lightning from his mouth.

What Marcus did was the same thing Mei did years ago. The bead was used as a fuel for this attack, and he shoot a highly concentrated plasma beam. The attack connected, he saw the left arm of the demon king being evaporated inside the plasma beam. Feeling the pain inside his mouth, Marcus thought that it was worth it.

Pained expression appeared on the face of the demon king. He was playing around with this human, yet he lost his arm. This was unacceptable. He just recovered from the last wound he received from that vile human girl, and now he is hurt again. His plans now must be delayed again.

But before that, he will take the life of this human.

The aura around the demon king changed, and a blood-red mist appeared beneath his feet. His body grew more robust, and on his back blood red wings grew out. The mist started to spin around his blade, covering it slowly.
