Chapter 83 - No Longer Holding Back

Luis staggered through the jungle, his body was bleeding heavily from his arm all the way to his lower back and his clothes had been reduced to rags.

The monkeys had dealt quite a big blow on him and if it weren't for that flaming sword he would be dead by now.

[ Critical condition ]

[ -1 HP ]

[ HP will keep reducing by 1 until enough energy to heal wounds is restored ]

[ 2/50 HP ]

Luis was on his last legs as he staggered towards a little tree that hadn't been affected by his fire rampage, maybe because it wasn't close enough to get affected.

Luis fell beside the plant and placed his hands on it.

[ 10/150 extra energy consumed ]

[ +5 HP ]

[ 7/50 HP ]

The tree hadn't given him enough energy to increase his HP but that was all it could give as the tree began to wilt before his eyes until there was nothing left of it but a dry stick.

'I wouldn't have taken energy from that if it weren't for my condition.'

Luis staggered through the jungle until he found another little tree but this one was bigger than the last one.

[ 30/150 extra energy consumed ]

[ +10 HP ]

[ 17/50 HP ]

[ Condition is back to normal ]

Immediately after receiving that message, Luis could feel the wounds on his body healing as his extra energy reduced.

[ 5/10 extra energy ]

Healing his body had consumed a total of twenty-five extra energy but his body still felt weak because his main energy had all been used up.

Luis lay on the ground as he tried to think of what to do, he was very weak and didn't think he would be moving anytime soon but he had his aura vision active.

"The fire has stopped but nobody is here."

Luis quickly turned towards the area where he had heard the voice only to see eight red auras heading towards his direction, the area where he had just fought his life-threatening battle.

He would have loved to make the run for it in a situation like this but he wasn't confident he would be able to outrun eight demons in his current state now.

"I can see something."

The demon that was ahead of them all was a demon noble and he had been the first to spot Luis.

"It's a human." The demon stopped in its track as it wondered what a human was doing on their planet.

"Is he conscious?" Grog asked.

Grog was the growing demon who was leading the demon nobles and he had stepped forward to take a look now.

"He's not conscious." The demon replied.

"This has to be the source of the teleportation reading." Grog said.

"What do we do to him now?" The demon asked, pulling out his sword.

"It's not in my hands to make any decisions." Grog said, giving the demon a cold stare. "Let's bring him back to the settlement first."

The demon was reluctant as he sheathed his sword.

The other demons stepped forward but the demon that had first arrived was the first to touch him.

Luis quickly grabbed his arm as he felt his hand touch his back.

"Thank you." He said with a smile.

Immediately Luis grabbed the demon's arm it's skin began to grow pale as the demon felt a rush of energy leave its body, its skin was turning white until Luis let go of him, causing him to fall on the floor.

[ 150/150 extra energy consumed ]

[ +30 HP ]

[ 47/50 HP ]

The other two demons who had just seen what happened to their comrade pulled out their swords but on striking it towards Luis it was met with a clang

"I promised myself that I won't let you die and I'm going to keep that promise."

Michael had arrived at the scene at the right time to zoom in and block the attacks.

"I knew you would come." Luis smiled and quickly got up from the floor.

It was two against one with the sword but somehow Michael was able to push both of them back.

Grog, who had been watching everything closely, began to clap his hands.

"I can say you are quite strong but it's eight against two. How do you think you'll survive?"

"Correction, it's seven against two," Luis said, looking at the demon that was on the floor twitching. "And soon it will be none against two."

'Did he do that?' Michael thought.

Grog walked to the twitching demon's body, he bent down towards it and by placing his hands on the body it was burnt to ashes.

"Sleep now, my friend." He muttered as the body turned to ashes.

"You." He got up and pointed at Luis. "I know what you are and I promise that I won't let you walk out of here alive."

"What's he talking about?" Michael asked.

"He wants to kill us, that's what he's talking about," Luis said as he quickly unsheathed his sword.

"Fire!" Grog ordered.

A storm of two fireballs each from the six remaining demon nobles came flying towards the duo.

Michael looked worried but Luis looked unfazed.

"That's too many fireballs to avoid at once," Michael said.

"Don't worry."

"What do you…."

As soon as the fireballs were about to hit them an earth wall rose from the ground covering the duo.

"You have earth ability?"

"Yes but I don't think I can hold it for much longer."

[ Earth points: 10/50 ]

Luis was on his last earth points as fireball upon fireball came crashing into the wall.

"When I say go you roll that way," Luis said, pointing to his left.

"Ok," Michael replied.

[ Earth points:1/50 ]

"Go."

The last fireball came crashing on the wall and shattering it into many pieces but Luis and Michael had rolled out of the way at the same time.

"Focus your fire on him." Grog said, pointing at Luis.

"No, focus it on me." Michael feared for the worst.

The fireballs were all sent flying towards Luis but before they could get close to him a stream of water came shooting towards all the fireballs and cooling them off in the process.

"He has water ability too?" Michael was in awe.

"You like throwing fireballs but how do you feel when it gets thrown at you?"

Two fireballs larger than the demon nobles' own formed in his hands and had already taken out two of the demons.

"Earth, fire, water," Michael muttered. "Luis! You are…."

"Yes." Luis cut in. "And now that you know I don't have to hold back anymore."
