Chapter 201: Velvet Demon’s Kickboxing School

Neuro moved like a shadow, and every step was precise.

His visor glowed faintly, scanning the enemy in front of him.

Heavenly Demon stood tall, his aura like a living flame, each breath crackling with energy.

Neuro lunged first, his hand slicing the air with [Neural Dagger Pierce].

The blade aimed for Heavenly Demon’s nerves.

Heavenly Demon blocked with his arm, [Heavenly Demon Ether] coating his skin.

Neuro’s eyes narrowed.

"You’ve grown stronger. Faster than before."

Heavenly Demon grinned.

"And you’re still too slow."

He pushed forward, a fist glowing with [Heavenly Demon Ether].

Neuro dodged, his visor beeping.

[Cerebral Sync Burst] activated, letting him weave through the attack.

Heavenly Demon turned, his body twisting.

[Heavenly Demon Breathing]

He inhaled deeply, the air around him crackling. His power surged.

Neuro’s sensors flared.

"Energy levels rising. Dangerous."

He activated [Echo Disrupt Field], the air around him distorting.

Heavenly Demon’s movements faltered for a split second.

Neuro lunged, his blade aimed for Heavenly Demon’s chest.

But Heavenly Demon laughed, taking the hit.

"You think that’s enough?"

He grabbed Neuro’s arm, holding tight.

"Pain makes me stronger."

Neuro’s mind raced.

"His body is adapting. My attack... it made him even stronger."

He twisted free, blinking behind Heavenly Demon.

[Cortex Drop Execution] triggered, a swift cut aimed at the spine.

Heavenly Demon spun, [Heavenly Demon Body] flaring.

The attack hit, but he barely flinched.

Neuro frowned.

"You’re feeding on the damage."

Heavenly Demon’s grin widened.

"That’s right."

"Every hit makes me stronger. Every moment, I grow."

Neuro stepped back, his mind processing.

"If I keep hitting him, I’ll only make him unstoppable."

He focused, analyzing the battlefield.

"I need to find his weakness. Before it’s too late."

Heavenly Demon cracked his knuckles.

"Ready for round two?"

Neuro steadied his stance.

"Let’s finish this."

The air tensed.

Two warriors—one of precision, one of wrath—prepared to clash again.

Velvet Demon frowned, sweat on her brow.

Skybrand’s ability, [Flashstep Reflex], was too much.

Every kick she sent missed, the girl vanishing before it even landed.

"Damn it," she whispered, her legs tensing.

"I need to be faster."

Velvet Demon planted her foot, the air twisting around her.

She activated [Velvet Demon Zone], a dark aura spreading in a wide circle.

Skybrand’s eyes widened. "What did you just do?"

The air felt heavy.

Her movements slowed, each step like wading through water.

Her blades felt heavier, her wings stiffer.

Velvet Demon smirked, her eyes glinting.

"You’re slower now. Weaker too."

She lunged forward, moving like a shadow.

Her leg swung up with deadly grace, [Velvet Demon Kick] activated.

Skybrand tried to blink, but her [Flashstep Reflex] lagged, and the delay was long enough.

The kick slammed into her side, knocking her back.

Skybrand gasped, shock in her eyes. "How did you—"

Velvet Demon landed in front of her, her body glowing with ether.

"Now that I can hit you, it’s time to teach you a lesson."

Skybrand clenched her teeth, her hands tightening around her blades.

"You won’t beat me."

Velvet Demon’s grin widened.

"Is that so?"

She rushed in, legs sweeping in quick, deadly arcs.

Her feet blurred, each strike aimed to cripple or disable.

Skybrand’s swords flashed as she tried to block, but each block came too slowly.

Skybrand’s breath grew ragged.

"Damn it. My [Flashstep Reflex]—it’s not fast enough."

Velvet Demon’s strikes came again, a low spin that aimed for Skybrand’s legs.

She jumped back, but Velvet Demon was already there, her foot smashing into Skybrand’s knee.

Skybrand stumbled, pain shooting up her leg.

"You—"

Velvet Demon stood tall, the corrupted aura swirling around her.

"Your precious speed means nothing in my zone."

Skybrand’s wings spread, the air rushing around her.

"Then I’ll just have to end this fast."

She forced her legs to move, blades rising.

[Skyline Execution]

She vanished, reappearing behind Velvet Demon, her blades swinging down.

But Velvet Demon didn’t move. She twisted just enough, her foot coming up.

Skybrand’s eyes widened. "No—"

The foot slammed into her chest, pain exploding through her ribs.

She flew back, crashing into the ground.

Velvet Demon walked slowly, her smile cold.

"Is that all you’ve got, little eagle?"

Skybrand coughed, struggling to rise.

"I’m not done yet."

Velvet Demon tilted her head.

"Good. Then stand up and fight me."

Skybrand’s breath came hard, her wings flaring.

"This ends now."

Velvet Demon laughed. "Bring it."

---

Skybrand frowned, her wings tensed, trying to lift off.

Nothing happened.

Velvet Demon’s [Velvet Demon Zone] kept her locked to the ground.

Her abilities, [Momentum Streak] and [Aerial Supremacy], needed airspace.

She felt heavy, slow. Every step felt like dragging iron.

She glanced at Neuro, who stood near her.

He looked calm, but his attacks had grown weaker and weaker.

His precision strikes barely left a mark on Heavenly Demon’s body.

Neuro’s hand flickered with [Neural Dagger Pierce].

But Heavenly Demon’s skin shimmered with [Heavenly Demon Ether] when it struck.

The wound closed as fast as it opened.

"Damn it," Skybrand muttered.

Heavenly Demon stood tall, a grin on his face.

"You think you can cut me down? My body adapts."

Skybrand’s grip tightened around her swords.

"You talk too much."

She lunged, blades slicing.

Her strikes, quick and sharp, met the same wall of defense.

Heavenly Demon didn’t flinch.

Each cut healed, the skin closing before her eyes.

Neuro activated [Echo Disrupt Field], hoping to confuse his opponent.

The air shimmered. But Heavenly Demon just laughed, his stance steady.

"Your tricks don’t work on me."

Skybrand glanced at Velvet Demon, who watched from a few meters away.

She looked calm, her body glowing with [Velvet Demon Ether].

Every wound she took faded fast.

Velvet Demon’s eyes locked on Skybrand.

"You look tired, eagle."

Skybrand’s face hardened.

"You’re the one who’s going down."

Velvet Demon’s foot lifted, a quick, sharp movement.

[Velvet Demon Kick] launched, aiming for Skybrand’s ribs.

Skybrand tried to dodge, but her movement lagged.

The kick hit, pain exploding in her side.

She staggered back, her breath short.

"What the hell is with these Heavenly Demon Sect freaks?"

Neuro’s eyes narrowed.

"They feed on pain and energy. They heal from every hit."

Skybrand spat blood.

"Great. So hitting them only makes them stronger."

Heavenly Demon’s grin widened.

"Exactly."

Skybrand’s swords dropped slightly.

"Then we have to be smarter."

Neuro’s visor blinked, scanning.

"Agreed."

Skybrand lifted her blades, her eyes set.

"Let’s go."
