Chapter 334 Escaping the reality

Chapter 334: Escaping the reality

Roy fought against Anais Foxtail before.

She proved a worthy challenge, so he hadn’t taken care of her yet. Even worse, Anais Foxtail had many allies and a good grasp of their skills, utilizing them to the utmost of their ability.

Fighting against her was a hassle.

However, Roy and Anais didn’t suffer too many losses. It was much different on a battlefield up in the sky.

At first, Roy believed that Alexander Deathwill was someone who would force Erik to call forth his demon. Even Erik himself said so.

But when he noticed the disturbing energy gathering up in the sky, then found his friend’s body mauled, hanging barely in the air, Roy’s mind spun with memories of his friend.

He could no longer bother with Anais Foxtail.

He immediately rushed to his side, “You are something else, Alexander Deathwill. I won’t let you entrap us, though.”

And with a few breaths of talk, the battle resumed.

Roy summoned his demon.

From behind him, a demonic existence with a big belly appeared. His red skin, expression, and form were similar to Erik’s demon, but that big stomach simply stood out.

The demon hissed before laughing, leaning down to embrace Roy and Erik, “You can’t protect yourself. How will you protect your friends?”

Another change happened then.

Roy’s demon didn’t become his skin. Instead, the big stomach split in half, opening like doors and taking Roy and Erik inside.

Their defenses increased tenfold, and it seemed like the demon also had regeneration abilities, for Erik wailed in pain.

Healing was not always gentle and soothing, after all.

On the other side, Alex stood with his black wings, not moving at all. He gazed at the demonic show with a faint smile. Behind him, in a similar manner, the red mana started forming his demon.

But as Alex was a peculiar existence who hadn’t visited purgatory, his demon was naturally different from others.

A woman with pale skin, red like blood hair and eyes, voluptuous curves, and a wide sneer on her face coalesced from the guardian mana. She donned eastern-style red yukata with black sleeves.

Ivonne dropped behind Alex, her bare feet touching an invisible realm. She instantly wrapped her arm around Alex’s chest, pushing herself onto his back. Nothing could stop her, be it black wings or Alex’s Asura Arms.

Feeling her touch, Alex’s Guardian Mana burned. His eyes shone red, similar to hers. His arms cracked, shedding skin, becoming paler to match his and her skin color. The strength behind those arms surged, enhancing everything Alex held in his additional hands.

In his case, all swords became deadly weapons.

Alex also received more Asura Skills, which gave him even more variety.

[Your quest, Become Asura(???), has been completed.]

[Your race has been changed.]

[The Fallen Asura.]

[Your stats have been updated.]

“I will have Sara and others learn how to ride my back soon,” Alex chuckled, glancing behind at Ivonne. He didn’t know her origins or why she appeared in his heart, but he could see warmth and concern behind those dangerous eyes.

He also had an inkling that Schnee’s lucky box actually didn’t give him a skill but helped him become closer to his demon. And now that Ivonne could come out at any moment, Alex could build a path only unique to him.

Ivonne replied with a sneer, “Your sloth girl won’t like it.”

“A little competition won’t hurt her,” Alex smiled as his mana heightened. In his current state, there was no way he wouldn’t leverage the guardian mana, which his father didn’t want him to do yet.

He locked his eyes on Roy, preparing for the first fall.

But as if he had been waiting for that moment, Roy used his signature skill. From around him, small portals started appearing like stars. Those portals spat creatures straight from nightmares, their disproportioned bodies sending down terrors to bystanders.

Their forms varied greatly. The monsters either moved on their two legs like humanoid existences with big arms or heads, or like dogs or cats on all fours, drolling with oversized heads and teeth.

Their skin was naturally red, yet it was quite pale as if they lacked blood. Their crimson eyes seemed even more thirsty than before, glaring at their enemies.

Alex and Ivonne remained unfazed by their appearance.

“Come forth,” Alex called out his black skeletons from the Deathwill Castle. An army of fifty scattered around him, standing mid-air as Alex kept them up with his wind magic.

[You have cast, The Fallen Servants(SSS), on the black skeletons.]

But as he started fueling them with his mana, the skeletons developed an ability to stay in the sky on their own. Their transformation had just begun, though.

“Pay the price for your sin, Alexander Deathwill!” Roy screamed, his monsters lunging forward at Alex and Ivonne.

“What sin?” Alex asked, smiling without any care.

This smirk told Roy that Alex and Ivonne had been waiting for his move. He intensely stared at them, wanting to know whether his thoughts were correct.

And as Ivonne’s arms went up, standing like a goddess behind Alex, Roy confirmed her identity, his eyes trembling like never before.

“Sisyphus’s Punishment,” Ivonne whispered, forming a ball of energy above her hands. That energy compelled monsters to stare at it, their bodies drawn to it as if gravity force pulled them over.

But as their goal was to devour Alex and Ivonne, they parted their jaws, aiming to gobble them up.

Their movement was severely slowed down, though. Roy, who knew about it, couldn’t help but click his tongue, believing that all his creations would soon face demise.

He didn’t expect Alex to use their existence for his army’s progress, though.

[You have used The Black Feather(SSS)]

Alex’s vast wings fluttered, sending down Black Feathers to his black skeletons. Each feather stuck close to the skeletons’ arms, enhancing their stats tenfold. That skill came from Alex’s Bloodrune Craft.

And as he could control his blood even better now, Black Feather Skill increased the stats he simply wished for.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Alex focused everything on [Agility] for his skeletons, increasing their speed so much that those skeletons seemed faster than race cars.

After the black army barreled into the creations, their swords hacked at demonic monsters with speeds similar to their movement.

They peeled some of the flesh, then deeply struck the opened wound with swords coated in Wrath Intent.

The monsters cried and thrashed mid-air, unable to even scratch the skeletons. They lost the ability to move after Wrath Intent permeated their bodies, for Ivonne leveraged her connection with Alex, planting her skill from inside through the skeleton’s swords.

At the same time, Alex’s evolved skill, [The Fallen Angel’s Servants(SSS)], began eating the demons’ flesh.

That resulted from a combination of Battle Spirit and The soul grave-keeper’s Undead Quest.

The skeletons didn’t eat flesh for nothing, though.

They started absorbing it, turning it into their flesh. Out of fifty black skeletons, three successfully evolved into a different existence, a zombie.

But as it was Alex who ordered them to go for it, the zombies naturally looked different from others.

Their skin was white, their eyes red, and their long red hairs stretched toward their bottoms. Those zombies were like exquisite creations based on voluptuous women. Their figures were hourglass.

They were naked, standing with their chests jutting out in abundance. Their little hands held swords tightly, expressions scrunched with hatred as they gazed at other enemies and skeletons who failed to absorb every piece of flesh successfully.

Alex and Ivonne didn’t focus too much on those zombies yet.

They saw that Roy and Erik had initiated a grand formation around their demon. That formation encompassed them entirely, creating a fortress that no normal players or residents could simply trespass.

Knowing it, Ivonne whispered, “It’s similar to Blackburn Blade’s formation. It is a perfect execution skill. They want to kill themselves to respawn in their realm.”

Alex asked with narrowed eyes glazing in wrath mana, “Do you know how to stop it?”

“No,” Ivonne replied with a click of the tongue.

Alex didn’t mind that “I will leave an eternal scar on their soul, then.”

[You have used the Fallen’s Eyes(SSS)]

BANG!

In a speed-breaking light, Alex appeared before the antagonist’s formation. He raised his swords, slashing through the barrier. Before his might, the formation tore like paper, revealing more and more gaps between the antagonists.

And when Alex saw the big belly, he smirked, thrusting his swords forward. They were like bullets going through Roy’s demon.

But as the demon was unique existence, Alex’s swords stopped mid-way. He didn’t mind it, adding more Wrath Mana to his swordsmanship. The swords howled with his concept, digging further and further.

At last, Alex tore through the demon’s belly, his sword scratching Roy and Erik’s bodies!

He saw them perfectly, even if it were just his swords within the demon’s belly.

[You have used Eldritch Touch(SSS) through your swords.]

“Ahhhhhh!” the demons screamed before dying to escape reality.
