Chapter 178 - Saving a Sage!

"Shit! Where are they coming from?" Aderonke cursed out, her c.h.e.s.t heaving continuously as fear surged through her entire frame just about then. She leaned forward and then pushed her body , willing herself to run all the way. 

Just then, the first Imp lunged at her from the side and she turned, swiftly edging out the left elbow in a sharp curve through the air.

What followed was a w.h.i.n.e and a blast of dark energies as the Imp dissipated into nothingness. The other imps upon seeing this did not relent. They still continue to race to the road, each of them running diagonal to the street with the intent to cut her off from the front.

"Shit!" Aderonke cursed once again, seeing as the demon imps reached to the street, their more nimble forms flying over the gutter like nothing. 

They seemed not to have an end as more and more of them kept on pouring out into the street. And at the rate at which they came, it was only moments for Aderonke to realize that she was in a fix. 

"Damnit" Her heart rate increased, she was getting really scared at the moment. At any rate the imps would have he surroneded and if that was to happen, it would be rather difficult for her to get back home gain. 

Especially when she was without the avilabilty of her powers. 

'Think fast, Ronke!" She called out her name and sterned her face. 

To her surprise, the imps seemed to be enjoying what they ware and so, they were deliberately crawling up to the road as slow as they could. In their minds, Aderonke, could feel that they had already had her for good. 

And so, to their understanding, there was very little she could do. Actually, there was nothing she could do, so, they were planning to take their time and enjoy this to the maximum. 

"Damnit!" Aderonke cursed out softly. "I am not so easy piece of meat, you imps." She swore and then leaned forward. 

She reasoned in her heart. She had not being saved by the Story Teller only for her to end up here, eve with the artefact that she had on her wrist, at the mercy of the imps. No, rather, she would make the best of the powers that she had at the now. 

"Bring it on then!" Aderonke said and then leaned forward. 

She put her hands to her side, feeling the tiny reverberations that the bracelet gave off at her wrist, letting her breathing steady out against the fear and panic that was surging around her. 

As she did, a subtle change began to come over her. Her rapid breathing reduced, the hairs on her skin that had stood up then when she had noticed the demons were beginning to relax once again. The sensational chill of fear that cut out abruptly to her spine then was subsiding. 

She welcomed it, arm as it was, spreading out her arms to the side and then closing her eyes. The Imps saw this and screeched in askance as they held back, none of them daring to advance any further but carefully watching her. 

She could feel their presence too. Magnified black dots against her sense of being that were everywhere about her. The Story Teller did mention that those who were beyond the power level of the Imps did not really appear as black dots in her sensing. 

That meant that those demons who she had glimpsed before would not be among the black dots but then again, there was nothing of sorts that could identify any of the black dots as the demons or whatnot. Or even any signal identifier to which she could pinpoint as those demons. 

Another thing that made her frown in worry. 

She dismissed the thought now that she could feel the warmth rising in her body with the passing second. She wondered if the imps would allow her the time. Despite the feeling which she was having, she was not readily having that much of the power to do the same  move that she had pulled with the furious fire. 

the technique Furious Fire was one which amplified the movements of the body to go beyond the naturally restraints imposed on it. To use this technique meant that one could greatly amplify the power and speed of their body depending on how skilled and high levelled they were. 

This implied that for someone who was at the bottom of the chart in terms of power, the technique could only last for just a few minutes or even as low as seconds. But for someone who was highly skilled, the technique could last for even as much as hours. 

However, in the case of Aderonke, she was not highly skilled, which was why she had panicked when confronted by this much of demons. 

However the case of her being a Sage was the oce breaker here. It meant that she could just easily tap into the large resource of Agbara which she ahd and then use it to her ability. So even if her powers cooled down, in compairson to other humans, that was nothing. 

And right now, the best to make use of the low throbbing of energy that Aderonke felt in her c.h.e.s.t, budding up, was to throw her weight in actual combat. 

She smirked and then lowered even more. She spaced her legs and in a blink, twisted about, trusting the blades at the bracelet to do justice to the Imps who came close to her. 

SHNNKKK! SHNNK!! 

The blades flashed as Aderonke's body sirled around, her body mass being leaned forward, thrusting into the mass of the imps as they suddenlyy charged her. Having decided they had had enough of her, they now made to act only for them to get inot the range if her blade. 

She swirled and twisted, winging her hands like a tornado as her breathing became low, her senses trying to pick out and read the movements of all the demon imps about her. 

It was her strategy. The power she could acess at the moment was not going to be enough to get her enough of the Furious Fire technique but she figured that if she could clear at least half of them, then, it would make it easier for her to have some breathing space to use the technique. 

She just had to trust her guts. 

But however, guts alone were not enough. 

The demon imps had the numbers and the range of her blade was limited. the Imps would have to come close or rather, she would have to go close tot hem before she could land a hit on the nimble and very agile Imps. they jumped and screamed, twisting away from the path of her blade thus, availing to themselves the places of her body that were not guarded, her back, skin and legs. 

The air shimmered just then as air currents swirled in the air. And in flash, the target that was just right before their eyes was away from them, far from the, the only trail left behind being a swirl of strong air currents that indicated something had breezed past. 

"Uh!?" They gasped in shock as their tails swished and stabbed into thin air. Swiftly they turned their heads to the side, watching the place where the heaving girl was with surprise in their eyes. 

"H-ghow?" A few of them muttered. 

But that was not all.  They could pick out the outline of a winged figure which was supporting the back of Aderonke even as she leaned down, her hands resting against her knees.  Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#!_52390641178571647">#!_52390641178571647</a> for visiting.

"Hey, Shino. its a good thing we branched here finally. Who would have though that the Sage who I was coming to was actually being assaulted by demon imps?" A chirpy voice sounded from behind them, making them turn their heads almost immediately.

They swallowed simultaneously even as they saw the person who spoke now, his entire body body coated with a sheath of yellow blazing Agbara. And the looks in his eyes told them of nothing more than what was obvious. 

They were doomed!
