"If I'm right he's cancelled whatever technique he originally intended to cast and instead opted for one easier and faster" Blake thought getting close to Rehabab and clashing blades with him.
Performing three quick blood-enhanced attacks which were able to push back the annoyed demon, the interruption of his technique having left him disoriented, Blake was able to send Rehabab retreating but just as he considered performing a quick slash, ready to inflict critical damage on his opponent, the ground trembled and exploded in random places as dark red creatures crawled out, their magma filled entry points heating up the atmosphere so much so that Blake worried his blood would boil.
Observing the dozen creatures that came out of the ground, it didn't take Blake long to figure out that Rehabab had cast magma summon, a technique superior to the larva spawn he had used earlier on him, but then a thought hit Blake.
"If this technique is a downgrade to his original intention, then what was his original intention." Blake thought his mind remembering the only legendary and epic technique the demon had.
Prior to this battle, the only status Blake had ever viewed was his, Kate and Thalia's and with what he had seen after viewing Rehabab's status, Blake could firmly say that his earlier experiences had skewed his mind.
Having arrived in this world with a few epic and legendary abilities and then meeting Thalia and Kate, Blake had thought that epic and legendary skills were common things, but now here was Rehabab, a champion in the army of his archduke master and a fourth-order being and he had just one legendary and epic technique.
The worst part of this was that the demon's rare graded techniques were so deadly that if the system told him it had made a mistake and these had actually been legendary techniques, he would believe it.
Temporarily pushing the matter of his poor grasp over his own techniques to the back of his mind, Blake glanced at the dozen four-legged wolf-like creatures which were made out of magma.
"Urghh I hate this guy, there is no blood in these stupid things he summoned" Blake thought and with that, he turned and ran. seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"They might have four legs, but there is no way they are as fast as Rehabab right" Blake thought to himself.
After some seconds Blake looked back and saw Rehabab's red hulking figure on his heels, his summons trailing far behind him.
Blake nodded his head to this, but then he ignored these two parties and scanned further back, doing his best to observe the world behind him while maintaining his forward momentum, and though unfortunately his speed fell and Rehabab closed the distance between them much faster, Blake spotted what he was looking for, Lena on her heels chasing after them.
Though there was a chance that Lena could just sit and control beings the likes of Rehabab as she wished without consequences, whilst he and Rehabab battled, Blake had been keeping an eye on the woman, noticing how she was always in sight throwing him a menacing stare and always making sure she was in a position that put Rehabab between them.
"With what I have seen so far, It is highly possible that Lena's control technique has a range limit but unfortunately even if that is true, exploiting this information for my use is going to be quite troublesome."
Staying so close to the battlefield while he and Rehabab battled and then going after Rehabab when he pursued him, a situation in which she could have just sat and waited considering that so far she had been completely absent from the fight, not even using a single ability against him.
Putting these things together Blake figured he was very right in his earlier assumptions, but for now, he decided to push that piece of information to the side and make use of another more rewarding one.
Without warning, Blake put the brakes on his run, stopping in his tracks. Blake turned around and then took three steps backwards, his nerves on edge as the taller form of Rehabab ran past him, the infernal demon stopped after taking several steps his gaze focused on a particular area some distance in front of him, his magma summons soon speeding past Blake and attacking that spot with fury.
Immediately seeing the summons go past him, Blake's figure blurred as he moved as fast as he possibly could, his blood moving through him faster than ever, his figure appearing beside a woman in the next seconds, his hand clasping around her mouth, muffling the words that were about to leave it.
By this time Lena had transformed back to his sweet beautiful appearance and remembering her body attributes, Blake figured it was probably because she did not have the mana to waste on such a powerful form which wasn't being used.
Though Blake didn't look back, he could very clearly feel Rehabab's mana become agitated from just the muffled sound that came out of Lena's mouth and then tears began running down her eyes.
Betrayal, hurt, anger, all of them Blake could see in Lena's eyes, but he didn't care.
"I'm going to loosen my grip on your mouth, if you dare make a sound, I will crush your head. Are we clear?" Blake asked receiving a nod from the woman.
Blake's eyes narrowed at Lena and then suddenly his hand moved from her mouth to her neck, his eyes hard and tightly gripping his Katana.
Lena was possibly an over thousands of years wraith, she had just awakened and did not Blake not have such a monstrous soul strength he could already imagine himself having to flee from her.
Now that Lena still had a pathetically weak body in comparison to her soul, this was Blake's one chance to deal with this woman and he was for no reason going to let it slip.
"Tell Rehabab to come closer and kneel before me," Blake said not caring how Lena felt.
"Also, just know that if he makes any sudden move on me, I will crush your neck while also slicing you in two, at least this should kill you permanently."
