Chapter 97: Tossed around
Mutated demonized, they were a special type of demonized that gained some sort of unique ability. That ability was, most times, overpowered, and the mutated caused a lot of damage.
When Riven’s attack was completely destroyed, he already knew that something was up. This demonized was mutated, and she could destroy mana entirely.
"Seems like our attacks aren’t working," Noel said, his eyes darting around, looking for a solution that would work.
"She is somehow destroying the mana in the attacks," Riven said.
"I see, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use mana on ourselves," he said with a grin and charged in. His feet crackled with lightning, and in the next second, he vanished, moving so fast the normal eye could not follow.
But the demonized was far from normal. Its head snapped in the direction Noel was coming from and attacked. Noel was forced to come to a halt and block the attack. He was blown back, but he didn’t suffer any injuries.
Using the opening his brother created, Riven charged in from the blind spot. He leaped into the air, took a deep breath, and slashed down.
It looked at him mid air and blocked the attack, the ground beneath it cracking slightly. The blade dug into its arm and drew its dark red blood.
It grabbed Riven by the neck and tried to crush it. Riven reacted immediately and stabbed into the arm. The demonized roared madly and threw him across the training ground.
He slammed into the body, rolled, stabbed his sword into the ground, and dragged along for a few meters before coming to a stop.
He looked and saw the demonized already charging toward him, but Noel was already on the move to intercept. He used his lightning to go fast and attacked from the side.
It instinctively blocked the attack with its claws, but Noel was not done. He went low and tackled the demonized, sending it to the floor.
Immediately, he rushed to finish it off, but its hands moved and slammed into Noel. He blocked it, but he was pushed back, giving it enough time to get up.
It locked on Noel, attacking with a flurry of slashes. Noel blocked and parried the attacks, but he was getting pushed back. He had to watch his steps and block the attacks at the same time.
He missed one of the blocks, and the claw dug into his chest. Blood gushed out like a fountain, yet Noel didn’t stop. He continued blocking the attacks until he missed another, this time, the claws were coming for his head. There was no blocking it, no dodging it.
Suddenly, Twilight blocked the attack.
"Noel, move!" Riven yelled.
Noel snapped back to reality and immediately retreated. Riven put all his strength into his hands and pushed the arm back.
It didn’t allow him to catch a break, attacking with the second hand immediately. Riven blocked the attack again, his hands trembling from the force of the impact.
’This will be hard without any form of mana. This demonized is stronger than us in the physical regard. Should I just use my twenty seconds and take it down?
No, if I do that now, it might survive and after that, I’m done for,’ Riven thought.
The demonized pushed him back and leaped into the air, coming down with a hammer slash.
Riven leaped out of the way. The hands slammed into the ground, slashing into the charred earth and causing dust to rise.
Riven took that as his opportunity to land a good attack. He charged through the dust cloud, his sword headed for the demonized, but it reacted quickly and moved out of the way. The tip of the sword grazed its body and drew some blood.
Noel flanked it from the side while it was dodging and plunged his sword into the side of its gut. It roared in pain and slammed him away. It chased after him while he was mid air and grabbed him by the leg, spinning him around like a ragdoll and slamming him into the ground.
Noel coughed up a mouthful of blood. He passed out for a few seconds before waking up.
Outside the barrier, the lady urged Quin, "Come on, what are you doing? Those kids won’t be able to hold on for much longer," she said.
"Patience, I’m working on it. And besides, that’s the first-year number one and five. I’m certain they can hold up for ten minutes against a new demonized," Quin said.
"What the hell are you saying? They’re getting tossed around, there’s no way they will win," she argued.
"Sometimes I wonder how you became an instructor. That demonized is a mutated one, and it somehow has the ability to make their mana-based attacks fade away. Yet those boys immediately adapted and are now fighting without mana.
They are stronger than you think. They can last the time—maybe, just maybe, even kill the demonized," he said, looking at them. His eyes carried a suspicious shine, and his smile didn’t help his case.
Back inside the barrier, Riven saw Noel smashed into the ground. He ran toward the demonized. If he wasn’t fast enough, the demonized would kill Noel.
The demonized was already ready to land a final blow on Noel. Riven had to think fast on how to stop the attack. He gripped his sword like a spear and threw it with all his might.
The spear stabbed into the back of the demonized, causing it to let out an ear-shattering roar of pain.
Noel, despite the pain, recognized the opportunity his brother had created for him. He rolled, forced himself to get up, and immediately put some distance between them.
The demonized struggled to reach its back and pull out the sword. It threw it to the ground in anger. It got on all fours and began charging at Riven like a wild beast. Its bloodlust could be felt from all around.
