Chapter 116: Beasts and Monsters

Water blades rained down on the Demonic Exorcists exposed organs. We were already underwater, so the blades were camouflaged.

But even though I went all out, uncaring about Ord expenditure, the Demonic Exorcists skin proved hard to cut, and it took over a dozen attacks to bisect him. His lower and upper bodies separated, and blood and chunks of meat turned the water around him crimson.

The Demonic Exorcist didnt take the attack too badly and had a tendril of blood grab onto his lower body.

I immediately cut the tendril with a water blade, but a dozen more replaced it, and then a hundred. No matter how many ropes of blood I chopped, he gathered more and fused his midsection back together.

Though Tamae No Mae wasnt renowned for her regeneration as an Ultimate Class demon, she still had a fearsome rejuvenation. Integrate that with the Demonic Exorcists ability to control blood, and it produced a very dangerous combination.

At this rate, the one who would run out of gas first will be the one to lose. The winner would be the one who kept their transformation active the longest!

One minor slip, and I was dead. I had to stop him from summoning any more demons. No doubt, he had noticed that our fight only needed a small interference to turn for the other side.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Despite there being plenty of exorcists just outside the Colosseum, none were suitable to fight within the water dome.

The obsidian sphere Emer was in started glowing red, and the Demonic Exorcists lip tilted upward in something almost resembling a smile.

Despite Emer being at an extreme disadvantage if he tried using lava underwater, he could still become dangerous enough to distract me from the Demonic Exorcist.

Boom!... Emer broke out of his cocoon and came into the water, the surrounding water steamed, but his special ability did little else.

But before he could act up, a dozen invisible water blades chopped Emer into small pieces. At that moment, the Demonic Exorcist attacked me with all the blood he had spewed before, but I changed the density of the surrounding water, and it reflected the blood away.

As the blood scattered around, it attacked the barrier.

Crack!... The barrier creaked and broke before I could do anything about it.

Panic ran through my heart when I saw that, but as I flexed my water control. I could still hold the water around as a formless blob?

The Demonic Exorcist smiled as if congratulating me for tricking him into thinking I couldnt hold the water without the barrier. But I didnt even think about how I could control this much water.

Carpys water control abilities were just that good.

At least the Demonic Exorcists face started turning purple, which was a sign that I should be able to outlast him as long as I held on. The fight had been intense, and I doubt he could hold his breath for much longer.

I had bisected, cut, shredded, and even blasted his lungs apart.

Actually, how the fuck was this guy still holding his breath?!

Oh! Marriage candidate three! Delia exclaimed. Dad, shes from the Raion Clan.

Marriage Candidate three? Anikas heart skipped a beat, but she would think about that later. We need to-

Before Anika could finish her words, there was a large pop, and water gushed from the sky like a downpour of rain. The water tasted salty as if it was from the sea.

Anikas heart stopped as she saw Kon floating in a water bubble, and his tamed demon was next to him.

She turned back to address the Dark Sword Clan one last time, but they were no longer there. As she looked around, most of the Expert Exorcists werent around any longer. Shit, so they knew already and had their own plan!

Anika went to her teammates, but only Agon was there. Cmon fool! We have to go too!

Go where? Agon looked at her with a dumb look on his face that she wanted to punch. But Anika took a deep breath and calmed herself.

Help Kon against the big bad guy, she explained as if he was a five-year-old. But Agon seemed to understand and nodded with a resolute gaze.

Almost a hundred exorcists of Expert Rank and above surrounded the Demonic Exorcist. But the latter's silver fox-like tail swished behind him, and he smiled widely. "What an amazing fight! Ahahahaha! I almost died there!"

Boom!... Suddenly something landed like a meteorite. That 'something' was the Lover Exorcist, and she had pink skin and horns. Her arms were covered in blood up to her elbows. "Your puppets took a while to take care of. Ready for round two?"

"This is amazing!" The Demonic Exorcist exclaimed. Ord burst out of him, and Anika felt like her mind was slipping and going insane. He had more Ord than everyone else here combined!

"Let's all die a little!" He screamed like a madman.

Every exorcist took an involuntary step back; their instincts screamed at them! Even Ellen had a bead of sweat roll down her cheek.

A pig came out of the ground, it threw up dozens of people with lifeless eyes. The Demonic Exorcist stopped, his silver hair flickered back to black, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that, every exorcist there finally got their senses back. The Demonic Exorcist wasnt some undefeatable monster; he was human too!

He glanced at Kon, who was lying on the ground while his weird serpentine fish stood guard over him.

What a shame, the Demonic Exorcist said, and a whirlpool of blood surrounded him and every human under his control, and they disappeared into a mist of blood.

Anika was closest to Kon and approached him. He wasnt unconscious and didnt have any injury on him. He licked his lips and cringed at the taste of salty water.

He opened his mouth, and every exorcist in the vicinity turned toward him, expecting something grand from the young man who had held back a monster they were too afraid to attack.

"I want a pizza," Kon grumbled. Then he glanced at his tamed demon. Actually, make that two. One for my buddy here too.
