Chapter 422 - Brutus VS Ifrit

-----

A demon showed up, covered in flames! He also had red skin like Brutus transformation, but his physique was way smaller, he looked covered in horns and demonic energy, and seemed unaffected by the smog of death and decay! This was nobody than…

"Ifrit!" Said Rot in surprise and happiness through her telepathy, as Ifrit nodded confidently, rushing towards Brutus!

"RAAAAH! A fucking demon showed up now?!" Roared Brutus, trying to get Rot out of his body, but she had entangled her tail around his torso, despite her entire body being covered in giant wounds due to his kicks and punches, she was quickly regenerating the wounds through her undead regeneration skill, and was continuing to lock his arm that he used to swing his axe!

"Good job on locking him on place!" Said Ifrit, rushing towards Brutus! He had not met him before, as he had been sick ever since his fight against the Chimeric Beasts made out of Fragments of the Forbidden One… But since then, he had learned many things about himself, and had begun to master more of his Blazing Soul Technique by practicing constantly, with the support of Lilith, he had slowly improved, and his wounds were all recovered as well.

For the sake of his mother that always believed on him, and for the sake of his own pride in his own family, Ifrit was willing to fight, survive, and continue living another day in this universe, training to become strong enough to go back one day to Hell to find his family, and show them how much he had progressed.

"You damn demon from all things come out of nowhere… Do you truly believe you can accomplish anything, ants?!" Roared Brutus in utter anger, he forced himself to move, but quickly realized his arm was not responding to him, the jaws piercing through it already cut down the ligaments and were tightly locked into the bone! He couldn't even lift his axe! Desperately, he gathered his energies into his entire body and then, aggressively unleashed a shockwave of pure war divinity!

"RAAA!"

TRUUUUUMMM…!

"Nnngh…!" Rot groaned, trying to resist the gigantic force impacting her, she infused all the cosmic energy left she had into her jaws, and suddenly bit incredibly hard!

CRASH!

"UUAGGH…!" Brutus cried in agony, kicking Rot away for once, as her entire body began to be torn apart into pieces in midair! Meanwhile, Ifrit resisted the shockwave through a barrier made of his own domain and aura, but the powerful Brutus' shockwave of power was capable of pushing him far back! Ifrit resisted however much he could, but the amazing strength of Brutus was not something he could take head-on yet!

CLAAASH!

Ifrit resisted the blow of energies and then Brutus finally tried to heal his arm, but what he found in the wound was horrifying, the entire wound was rotting, and the bone was cracked, his arm was actually just falling off right now!

"F-Fuck!" Brutus groaned in agony, desperately deciding to grab his axe with his other arm and then tear apart his arm, trying to regenerate a new one by infusing large quantities of stamina and vitality into his body was impossible as well, this was because the wound was rotting severely, inhibiting any regeneration… and the wounds in the rest of his body were the same, wearing down the titan even if a little bit each second. Rot ended causing a large amount of damage to him, enough to weaken him more than he could had expected.

He quickly tried to regenerate his wounds and began to cut down the rotten flesh out, but the regeneration was still very slow, he wasn't able to get his arm back… Out of desperate, and as Ifrit finally caught up to him, he generated an arm made out of his own soul materialized and defended himself against Ifrit by shaping it as some sort of barrier!

CRAAASH!

However, to his surprise, Ifrit was strong. He moved swiftly, almost masterfully, his body reacted incredibly quickly to Brutus movements, and his arms and legs were like two lethal weapons of their own, the demon didn't even need a weapon aside from his own body! His soul flowed out of his body like even stronger and demonic flames than Brutus, all boosted by several times through the power of his cosmic energy as well!

FLUUOOOSHH!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"NGH?! (T-This guy is a fucking beast! His punches are beating my soul hand and the barrier is about to shatter in any second…! This damn dragon fucking up my arm…! And where the fuck is Ernesticia and Lucia, didn't they said they would assist me?!)" Thought Brutus, as he resisted Ifrit's blows for only a few seconds before his soul arm suddenly shattered!

CRAAASH!

"UUAAGH!" The pain of having a piece of his soul shattered made the Orc scream in agony, all the air of calmness he had before was gone as he was experiencing agony with every fighter he was fighting at this point!

"Fool, did you think using your own soul would be a better option than defending with your flesh arm?" Asked Ifrit cockily, as he swung his legs as if they were blades, kicking the head of Brutus three times in a row!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"GAHHH…!" Brutus felt as if his jaws were about to get dislocated if he didn't fought before it was too late! He swung his axe and clashed against Ifrit while he was fighting! Ifrit's senses were sharp now, as he sensed it coming several seconds in advance, and he evaded in time, pushing forward and meeting Brutus face-to-face!

A cocky smile showed up in Brutus.

"You're getting slower, man."

"Ungh…!"

Brutus felt as if a chill began to run through his spine, he quickly attempted to kick Ifrit's crotch, but was pet by a kick into his wounds in the stomach where Rot had attacked him and slashed him!

CRAAASH!

"AAAGH…! (I-it hurts so much…! These damn wounds are killing me!)" Brutus groaned, looking back at Ifrit, he quickly began to breathe differently, as his entire body unleashed an aura of both strength… and desperation! Brutus was going insane by just fighting Ifrit already, this demon was way too much!

He had unleashed his total power into an aura, his mind suddenly calmed in an instant, as the pain was gone from his mind, his eyes shone brightly with red light, and his silvery-white hair suddenly began to wave as if the wind was flowing by his side… Brutus suddenly calmed down and decided to adress Ifrit as an equal fighter!

"Oho? I think I've awakened your power, haven't I?" Asked Ifrit. He was a demon cocky by nature, so he greeted Brutus with a cocky smile as he would always do! His body was calm and he didn't took any pose, however, surprising Brutus!

"I won't go easy on you! You'll know that I am the Orc God for a reason, every Orc in my planet kneeled before my might! I've taken down thousands of armies!" Roared Brutus, pushing forward and clashing against Ifrit once more! Their fists impacted one another constantly, generating red shockwaves of flames everywhere constantly!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Their movements were incredibly swiftly as both of the red-skinned warriors were concentrated into the battle, but unlike Brutus, Ifrit had his two arms intact, his fists moved quickly, and his smaller body was actually better at evading his giant kicks and punches, as Brutus had thrown away his axe and decided to fight with his punches and the occasional soul fist!

CLASH! CLASH! CLAHS! CLASH!

Their fists clashed constantly, Ifrit evaded the enormous fists of Brutus several times, as he twisted his body around his blows, and his flames covered all of Brutus body, these same flames that had made him almost die, similar to those from Belphegor! Brutus only felt even more angered as he was remembering that skull, he gritted his teeth and suddenly decided to headbutt Ifrit!

"GRAAAAHH!"

However, Ifrit greeted him with a headbutt of his own!

"ORRA!"

CRAAAASSSHH!

Their two foreheads met in a strong hit, the two suddenly felt slightly dizzy, their skulls were not cracked yet, but the paint they felt was quite something! The two gritted their teeth, glaring angrily at one another as Ifrit's entire body exploded into flames…!

"Blazing Soul Arts: Eighteen Hundred Demonic Fists!" Roared Ifrit, activating a powerful, forbidden technique that could actually kill him if he used it incorrectly!

FLAAAASH!

His entire body suddenly exploded in Demonic Energies and Fire Qi, converging together with the Cosmic Energy he had and also the Divine Energy of having raised to divinity in this universe, all four different energies fused together majestically, as Ifrit's movements were almost mesmerizing to see, his fists moved so fast they generated after images of themselves, but each afterimage was like  true fist, hitting Brutus entire body, his face, torso, stomach, arms, shoulders, legs, crotch, every part, like countless bullets hitting his entire body, Brutus was stopped in midair by Ifrit relentless assault!

"ORRRAAAAAAHHH!!!"

"G-GUUOOHHHH…!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Fist… Eighteen Hundred…!" Ifrit suddenly gathered the power of his very soul into his right fist, pushing it back and then hitting Brutus one last time, directly into his face at full speed! His fist hit Brutus so strongly it was like a giant cannon hitting his face! Brutus nose was broken apart and flew out of his face, his lips tore apart, and his eyes got burnt to a crisp, all while Brutus face distorted horribly!

CLAAAAASSSHH!

"GUUAAAAAAAAGGGH…!"

Brutus was hit so strongly he flew through the skies, feeling completely defeated, and in utter agony as his body was coated in demonic flames consuming him entirely, burning him constantly!

"T-This can't… be real…!" Cried Brutus, falling from the skies…
