"Arghhh!" Evelyn cried out in pain as she lay sprawled on the ground, a deep sword cut visible on the back of her shoulder.
Still in his demonic form, Tony stood a few steps away from the girl his face contorted in rage as blood streamed from his nose.
As Evelyn writhed in pain, the rest of the main characters were also down, their bodies battered and bruised from the vicious fight.
Elera's back was torn open by another claw wound while Shion and Kael lay unconscious, their weapons discarded beside them.
Aric was on his knees, gasping for breath, The fight with Tony had taken every inch of mana inside of his body, and because of that even moving a little bit was painful for Aric.
As Tony stood over his fallen opponents, a twisted smile played on his lips, his previous rageful expression disappearing.
He wanted to show them what happens when they mess up with the wrong person.
Tony wanted revenge for what happened at Crew Hall.
And now, he has almost succeeded.
But as he looked into the determined eyes of the remaining fighters, he knew that the battle was not over yet.
Only three remained standing in the aftermath of the fierce battle.
One was a black-haired boy, Adrian, whom Tony had clashed with earlier, his fighting spirit still evident in his tense stance.
He is the one that Tony wanted to kill most of them! Adrian is the reason why Tony has given up his human self and turned into a demon.
Another was an auburn-haired girl with bright green eyes that seemed to bore into Tony's very soul.
She is the princess of Rivers Clan, She was the one who made fun of and humiliated Tony at the crew hall.
Because of her family background, he could do nothing for her at Nova Academy but that's not true here!
Tony is going to have some fun with her after killing everyone here!
The third was a golden-haired boy who had been watching from a distance, focused more on the watch in his hand – Tony felt uneasy about him.
He had tried to kill that golden-haired boy earlier but Adrian and the rest of the others came his way, but it didn't matter to Tony at all.
At the end of the day, he will die no matter what happens.
As Tony lunged with demonic ferocity, I smoothly pivoted on my back foot, executing 'Starry Deflection' with precision. The edge of my blade intercepted Tony's strike, deflecting it away with a seamless motion.
The clash echoed through the hall, the arcane energy resonating between us. I seized the opportunity, transitioning seamlessly into the next movement of Celestial Parry.
"[Celestial Parry] sword art, Second movement 'Luminous Riposte,'" I whispered, unleashing a rapid spiral of strikes. The enchanted sword moved with fluid grace, each movement calculated to exploit any opening in Tony's demonic defences.
Tony, momentarily caught off guard by the swift transition, struggled to counter the barrage of strikes. The hall filled with the rhythmic dance of steel, the clash of our weapons resonating with intensity.
With each movement of Celestial Parry, I aimed to disrupt Tony's focus and weaken his demonic form.
The tide of the battle seemed to shift as my Celestial Parry sword art unveiled its intricate sequences.
However, Tony, fueled by vengeance, summoned dark energy to enhance his demonic resilience.
As I hit my last blade against his shoulder Tony let out a blood-curdling scream as he writhed in agony,
"Arghhhhaaaaaa!"
"Adrian, now!" I yelled.
"On it!" he replied.
Upon my signal, Adrian dashed towards the direction of the scream, and with a swift leap, he ascended high in the air, wielding his sword with a strong grip.
"Aaaaah!" with a ferocious battle cry, he unleashed his sword art as a dazzling azure aura engulfed his blade.
Descending rapidly like a shooting star, Nero delivered a devastating downward strike onto Tony, who remained impaled in place.
The strike was so swift that it took less than a second to execute.
Thwoosh—!!!
The force of Adrian's downward slash left a gaping crater in the ground.
With a graceful landing, the protagonist stood over the vampire, sword at the ready to deliver the finishing blow to his heart.
Before Adrian could land the fatal blow, Tony reached forward and sank his claws into the boy's leg.
"Aaargh!" Adrian cried out in pain as he stumbled back.
