Chapter 272: Something is Fishy [1]



Glancing at the headless body of the demon, Yato muttered "You are weak." Then saying that he focused his attention back to Lucas.

-Slash!

-Spurt!

Another demon fell from my sword. As that happened some of the demons looked at me shocked.

"I-impossible! Weren't you supposed to be[E] ranked?"

"[E] Ranked? Sorry, that was ages ago." I replied with a smirk.

Some demons couldn't help but freeze when they were about to Lucas, According to the reports they received, the student named Lucas Darkgeart was supposed to be E rank at best...yet, staring at the dead horror-stricken demon beneath his feet, the demons in the air couldn't help but lightly shudder.

The demons knew that information was flawed...

They have to do something or else they will be due miserably

"Let me!"

Noticing that the situation was becoming unfavourable, the leader of the demons took a step forward, and immediately an enormous pressure started emanating from his body.

-Vuuam!

The pressure was almost [B-] ranked.

After instantly revealing his ranked pressure the demon leader instantly appeared before Yato and punched at him.

However, before the punch could be connected, Yato dodged it and Took a few steps back.

"So you want to fight me? Haha, I like that." Yato chuckled at the leader of the demon as he looked at me.

Demon gritted his teeth at his attitude toward Yato and glanced back to the other demons.

"What are you waiting for? I'll take him on. Meanwhile, kill that brat."

glaring at the other demons before him, the leader of the demons pointed towards me as he shouted.

-Fwap! -Fwap!

Thereafter, heeding his command, all of the demons apart from the leader dove down in my direction.

Lucas slightly moved his neck sideways as the hand of a demon brushed past his cheek.

-Shuuuua!

Thereafter, aiming towards the solar plexus, Lucas turned his body 45 degrees as he elbowed the demon.

-Bam!

As soon as Luca's elbow connected with the demon, a shockwave swept the surroundings as the other demons that were similarly headed in Lucas's direction halted for a split second.

"Kha—!"

Falling to the ground, the demon hit by the elbow spits out blood as he holds onto his chest area. He was in complete agony.

Staring at the demon beneath his feet, Lucas slowly said

"Let me end the pain for you..."

Raising the Sword of Sin high, I prepared for the final strike. The crimson blade gleamed with a dark aura, reflecting the gravity of the impending blow. The demon, writhing in pain, gazed up at me with a mixture of fear and desperation.

-Thud!

A split second later demon's head rolled on the ground, his headless body hit the ground.

"[Astral Dash]" Lucas muttered under his breath as he activated his movement art.

He disappeared from the field view of demons.

As Lucas vanished from their sight with the speed of Astral Dash, the demons were left momentarily confused. Their attention now shifted to the decapitated body of their comrade lying on the ground.

"Where did he go?" one demon questioned, uncertainty evident in its voice.

"He's toying with us," another growled, frustration building among the demonic ranks.

Unseen and unheard, I observed their confusion, planning my next move. The Sword of Sin pulsed with anticipation, eager to taste the essence of more demonic foes.

Suddenly, a demonic scream echoed through the air. I reappeared behind one of the demons, the Sword of Sin slashing through the creature's form with ruthless precision.

-Spurt!

Dark energy erupted from the demon's wound as it crumpled to the ground, lifeless. The remaining demons, now aware of my location, turned their attention towards me.
