Heavenly Monarch - Chapter 120

After slashing at the demon and seeing that it easily avoided the attack, the vice leader rushes forward as he intends to send another slash at it but before he could even get close to the demon, a flame came from the side flying towards him at an incredible speed. Pulling back to defend himself from the flame attack cause him to be unguided against the demon as he was forced back with a punch.

After fending against the flame, the vice leader took a step back as he turns to look in the direction where the flame came from only to see a humanoid demon with two horns on its forehead with flames flowing around it back as a halo while wielding two battle axes in its hand.

” What is another demon doing here and how was this demon able to summon it into the realm without the use of blood,” asked Ellis with surprise when he saw the demon walking up to meet with the female demon.

” It is more likely that it has already been summoned before we came” replied the vice leader to Ellis’s question.

After meeting up with the demon, the new demon turns to look at Ray’s group with a sinister smile on his face as he said.

” Looks like I came in time to help released some stress from your shoulder serpentine”.

” I could have handled the matter with ease but since you are already here while don’t you just help out Broroch” replied serpentine with a smile on its face.

” No problem my dear serpentine, you can leave the one on white for me to handle,” said Broroch as he laugh at loud before stepping forward to meet with the vice leader.

And seeing the new demon walking up to him, the vice leader turns to Ellis and Ray who were behind him as he asked.

” I believe you two can handle that demon over there with ease”.

” Worry not sir, we have improved a lot compare to the last time we Fought with it” replied Ellis as he punched his fist.

” That’s good to hear,” said the vice leader with a nod as he walked to meet up with the Broroch.

When they were a distance away from each other, Broroch snarl at the vice leader before saying as he raised his blade.

” How dare you low life stand before the mighty Broroch like you are worthy enough to face off with me”.

Placing his hand in the blade handle, the vice leader waited for Broroch to make his move and it did as he swings the battle axe down on him while holding the other battle axe in place just In case the stupid human make a move to defend himself against the first attack. Pulling his blade from the scabbard the vice leader effortlessly sway the axe to the side and brought the blade up to defend himself against the other axe that was heading his way.

With half knee to the ground, the vice leader was able to stop the attack from getting to him. Gathering more power into his arm, the vice leader was able to push Broroch back as he pushed forward while slashing and stabbing at Broroch who either dodge the incoming blade or perry them with its battle’s axe.

” Not bad I think this one can last a little round before falling, guess I have should enjoy myself since it will only take so long to get another opponent to fight with,” said Broroch happily as he continues to fend of vice leader attack.

While the two were busy having the fight of their lives, Ray and Ellis were in a showdown with serpentine who has a smile on its face as its snake tail begin to wiggle with flame coming out of its mouth Ike it was breathing out.

” I am going to make you pay for what you did to me the other time,” said serpentine as it threw a ball of flame at the two.

Jumping to the side to avoid the flame from touching them, Ray said after landing on safe ground.

” You are the one who is going to pay for delaying our group from taking on a quest”.

Swinging his blade around before slashing out as he sent a wind slash at serpentine who easily swing its tail as it hit the attack to the side which causes the part of the cave they were in to shake.

” What a weak attack, and I thought you humans easily improve yourself easily compare to other races but I guess I was wrong,” said serpentine as it begins to gather flame in its hand.

” I also expect more from you filthy demon” replied Ellis as he smashes the ground.

As it causes the ground to shake violently with the serpentine swaying to both sides as it was unable to continue with the gathering of the energy and before it could think of moving to the side, the spike came from the ground as they Pierce its feet while trapping it to the ground.

” How do you like that now, do you still think you can act arrogant in front of us now” asked Ray as he swings his blade downwards at serpentine but before the blade could get close to it, the ground below Ray’s foot burst open as the snake tail came at him but being a quick wit, Ray was able to avoid the snake as he pulls back from serpentine.

” I have to say, you guys do improve a little but it still won’t be enough for you to defeat me, unlike last time I was not at full power but now” replied serpentine with a wild laugh as it pulls itself from the ground with flame flowing on the ground with it was a trap.

Now looking at serpentine who seen to be unleashing its through strength as it steps out of the spike with a sinister smile on its face as begins to gather a new flame on its palm that seen different from the previous one before swinging it at the two.

” Have a taste of real power” said serpentine as it swings the flame at them.

Seeing the flame coming their way, they move to the side while creating a great distance from it but to their shock, the flame did not explode on the ground instead it split into two as it begins to chase after them. Dodging the flame before it could hit them was not easy since serpentine also sent more flames at them as they continue to avoid the flame making it difficult for them to continue avoiding it.

” How can that bitch still send those flames even after it has sent this much” complain, Ray, as he swayed to the side as a flame ball went past him but before he could continue running, another flame hit him from behind as he was sent flying before screaming in pain.

” Yes feed me with your pain,” said serpentine as it begins to laugh like someone who has gone insane.

Failing in the ground, Ray begins to roll around in pain as the flame continues to burn him badly, and while serpentine thought that he was suffering from the flame something else was unfolding.

*Ding*

[ host immunity to fire element increases: 1%]

Shocked by the notification by the system, Ray couldn’t help but smile since if his immunity to fire could increase then he won’t have any fear facing an opponent that knows the fire element. The more the flame continues to burn the more his immunity to fire continues to increase and before long he couldn’t feel the burnt from the flame burning him except a little itch.

Getting up from the ground Ray extinguished the flame from his body with dust of his hand as he turns to the side to look at how Ellis is faring against the flame only to see him avoid the flame perfectly before they can get to him.

” How can he still avoid those flames without getting burnt at least for once,” said Ray when he saw the way Ellis is easily avoiding the flame.

Seeing Ray standing without any sign of been burnt by its flame, serpentine got angry as it sent more flame at Ray which hit him but to serpentine shock he did not try to avoid the flames as he was consumed by the intense flame.

Walking out of the flames with a smile on his face, Ray turns to look at serpentine who has a shocking look on its face as he said.

” I thought you can do better than this but who could have thought that you amount to nothing”

Running towards Ellis who seen to be struggling with the bunch of flames that are chasing after him, slashing his blade at a fireball that was unavoidable before pulling it to the other fireballs that are after him causing them to burn out after merging.
