Chapter 263 Fighting The Undead (7)



The demon had stopped out of nowhere and it was as if something had happened to him.

All of a sudden, the demon jumped back away from Shaka.

When the demon landed, one of his legs couldn't stand up properly, so the demon couldn't help stumble. He was still able to catch himself right before he fell completely, so the demon fell onto one knee instead of falling on his face.

The demon then raised his hands up in front of him and looked carefully at them.

As he looked at his hands, his expression couldn't help changing several times. That was until finally, the demon revealed a serious look and asked, "What did you do to me?"

After he said this, his breathing couldn't help becoming faster and faster as his face turned red.

This red shade to his face was quite prominent because of his dark skin.

He then couldn't help clutching his chest as he said, "Just what is this burning feeling inside of me?"

Shaka had been taking this time to catch his breath. After all, using that special wind buff magic was not something that was easy for him.

That special wind buff magic pushed his body to the limits of what it could handle, so he always had to catch his breath after using it.

Seeing that the demon still wasn't moving, Shaka didn't miss out on this opening.

He raised The Penetrator and charged out at the demon. He didn't do anything fancy and just used a simple swing against the demon.

Though even if he wanted to do something fancy, he really couldn't since his body was at the limit.

The demon had been lost in his own world for a bit, but he didn't miss Shaka coming at him.

The demon suppressed all of the questions that he had and chose to focus on Shaka.

He reached his hand out as if he wanted to gather another black lance. At first, the black energy that formed the lance started gathering in his hand, but then...it suddenly stopped.

The black energy that he had already gathered scattered away, almost as if it didn't exist.

The demon looked at his hand in shock.

That was because that feeling just now was like his mana flow had been disrupted.

The demon carefully checked his body's condition and found that his mana was indeed in a mess right now.

Whatever the thing bothering him was, it was also throwing off the flow of his mana.

With this thing bothering him, he wasn't able to control his mana properly. That was why he had been unable to gather the black energy for that black lance.

The demon really wanted to figure out just what was wrong with his body, but he didn't have the time. Shaka was getting closer and closer, so it had to deal with Shaka first.

Since the demon wasn't able to gather the black energy needed for the black lance, he had no choice but to resort to its backup weapon.

The demon reached behind his waist and all of a sudden pulled out a small blade.

This was a tiny dagger that had a jet black blade. However, that tiny blade didn't remain tiny for long.

Though he was unable to gather the black energy to form the black lance, the demon was still able to gather the black energy with the black dagger. The black energy wrapped around the black dagger without any resistance.

As more and more of that black energy gathered, the blade itself grew longer and longer.

It had been a short dagger at first, but eventually it turned into a proper jet black sword.

The demon had wanted to gather even more black energy into the blade, but Shaka was getting too close so the demon had no choice but to face Shaka head on with the blade that he had currently condense.

It was the length of a short sword now, so it was still shorter than The Penetrator.

For the demon to strike Shaka, he would have to avoid The Penetrator first and then strike him while he was unable to move.

So to do that, he would need to bait Shaka to miss.

The demon didn't hesitate to charge out at Shaka, but he moved slower than before so Shaka was able to easily find an opening.

But at the very last second, when Shaka was about to hit the demon, the demon suddenly sped up.

It was just too bad for the demon that...Shaka had also been playing him.

Shaka also knew that he wouldn't be able to hit this cunning demon unless he baited him, so he had also put on a play.

When the demon started speeding up, Shaka also sped up.

There was another layer of green light that appeared around him. This was the same layer of green light that had appeared before that had allowed Shaka to suddenly speed up.

He had faked it disappearing earlier and had voluntarily released it, while still saving a bit of the wind magic energy.

With this bit of wind magic energy that he saved, he was able to use it at the very last second to catch this demon off guard.

The demon knew that it was impossible for him to dodge this attack now, so he raised his black sword to block it.

"You..."

That was all the demon was able to say before his sword was shattered.

With a roar, Shaka smashed right through the demon's sword and slammed The Penetrator right into the demon's chest.

There was no delay as the demon was sent flying like a kite that had its string cut.

At the same time, there was a spray of black blood that came out of the demon's mouth, spraying through the air as the demon was sent flying.

The demon couldn't stop himself and the knights quickly dodged out of the way of the flying demon, allowing him to crash right into the waves of undead behind them.

The undead were unable to stop the demon as he sent a large group of them flying with the force he had been sent flying with.

Finally, after a large patch of undead had been cleared out, the demon laid there on the ground with his eyes rolled back in their sockets.
