Chapter 322 Evan Vs Lensa IV

'I know my 'B-' durability stat wouldn't let me die even if I didn't put up defences, but either way, taking an attack that can cause this much destruction head-on isn't exactly something I would wanna do.'

Evan thought to himself as he looked at the system time and heaved a sigh of exasperation.

Meanwhile, in the middle of this roughly 75 kilometre square crater, was a lone demon, her arm encased in a thin layer of green light and her fist punched into the ground.

The crater's deepest point was just right underneath her fist, with spider web-like cracks that extended for kilometres spreading out from under her feet.

She was down on one knee and breathing heavily, with a thin trail of blood dripping from her nose and onto the ground.

'Tsk…I should have just done this from the start.

I wasted too much time and ended up expending a lot of energy for no reason.'

This lone noble demon, Lensa, cursed at the 'her' of a few minutes ago who was against the thought of going all out from the start of the fight.

'Fae? Can you hear me?'

She tried contacting her contractor once more but received no reply, clicking her tongue in annoyance once more as she slowly got to her feet.

'I missed him.

He probably teleported away, and now he knows about this attack.

I have to deal with him and help Fae…!'

Her fear of the Demon of Greed who her contractor was supposed to be battling against kicked in once more, but she bit her lips to snap herself out of it, turning her gaze towards the young hero who was floating in the air.

'He's using his aura to make footholds to stand on? What a convenient skill.'

The boy turned towards her as if sensing her gaze on him, with the mirthful look in his eyes that had been there since the beginning of the fight completely absent.

"Unforged."

Lensa just barely made out that one word, right before something black flew into his hands.

'His sword, come to think of it he had dropped it since the beginning.'

She flared her aura and readied herself for another attack, deciding to put in more power than the last one which cleared half the town, even if that was going to leave her out of commission afterwards.

'Should I really do it? But how can I kill the kid in one shot otherwise?'

As she was deliberating on how to attack, Evan who was silent finally opened his mouth.

"It's been far more than ten minutes.

And I have expended more energy than I planned to."

He pulled out a juice pack from his inventory and slowly sipped on it as he stared at the demon who was charging her fist with an aura once more.

After finishing the juice pack (magic potion), he twirled his sword around his left hand and snapped his fingers on his right hand.

A single sword solely constructed from aura, appeared beside him, with its shape and size being the same as that of the Unforged.

With a second snap, another similar sword appeared on his other side, glowing with a light orange colour as Evan mixed the red aura of destruction he could temporarily use with his own innate golden aura.

'Good.'

After confirming the two swords were what he wanted, he snapped his fingers a third time, however, it wasn't one or two swords that were generated.

First, it was five, then they were ten, then they were twenty, and then forty, then eighty, crossing over the hundred mark in the next and becoming a hundred and sixty.

Lensa's eyes widened in shock as she had recalled Evan using these energy-generated swords against the other demonic hand members who interfered at the start of the fight.

However, she definitely did not expect that he could also use it like this too.

The aura she was charging around her arm flowed back to her energy core, before going on to spread around her body and enhance it, with her feet receiving more enhancement than other parts.

"Go."

Evan's command came right after, with the hundred-plus swords of aura all pointing at Lensa before launching towards her.

The noble demon kicked off the ground, and dashed forwards, moving with all her agility as the aura-constructed swords chased closely behind her with slightly lesser speed.

She moved around in zig-zags, occasionally turning around to generate her own aura spears which she used to block and deflect the few blades that managed to catch up to her.

Lensa spread out her wings as she ran, observing their state and realizing that she could not fly for much longer before they finally gave in due to the multiple injuries that showed no signs of recovery despite her high health stat.

While she was doing all this, Evan was silently watching her with his eyes, as his pupil darted around rapidly, not losing sight of her for even a single second.

The boy obviously didn't plan to end things with this rain of swords, as he would not have picked up the Unforged if he did, while silently sipping emery potions in juice pack containers.

It was something the boy recently started doing as most opponents would not think he was actually drinking a magic potion or stamina potion disguised as a juice pack mid-battle, unless they were more inclined to the alchemical side of things and could clearly sense the content of the juice pack wasn't juice.

He had downed about five juice packs when he started feeling a bit bloated and decided to put off drinking them for now, when his eyes caught on to what Lensa was doing.

'She wants to take to the skies? Perfect.'

He readied his sword as he created new footholds to stand on, slowly assuming a stance while he watched Lensa fight back against the rain of swords.

'She has taken sixty out already?

it'd be bad if she destroys too much of them, let's make things easier for a moment.'
