Chapter 318 - Demon General
Namor pointed his finger at the charging Kretos and spears made of bones ca out directly from his finger. It was a horrific sight, it was as if the bones inside Namor were coming out from his body.
Kretos happily deflected the bone spears that ca his way. Each ti a spear was deflected the mont it dropped to the ground a crater was ford. Namor was surprised to see how easily Kretos deflected each strike. If this was the Kretos who fought Kir that strike wasn't sothing he should be able to deflect.
Even a demon lord at Kir's level would find these bone spears to be troubleso, yet Kretos dealt with them like they were toys.
'Isn't he improving too fast?' The mont Namor had this idle thought Kretos appeared before him and was about to slash him.
"Having idle thoughts during battle will get you killed," Kretos shouted as he slashed downward. Namor quickly blocked the strike using his bone sword, but the power in Kretos's attack stunned Namor. The strength that Kretos unleashed took Namor by surprise, Namor let go of his sword and evaded the strike by sidestepping.
Kretos was quick to react to the sidestep and did a sideward slash. Blade-like bones sprouted from Namor's forearms which he used to block Kretos's attack. Namor's body slid backward and Kretos dashed forward towards Namor.
Seeing the fast approaching Kretos, Namor used the [Fire Ball] spell, as multiple five-ter balls of fla floated above his head and headed towards Kretos. Kretos imbued his sword with mana which sliced through the balls of fla.
Namor was surprised as he used another spell against Kretos. [Ray of Frost] a beam of ice headed towards Kretos. Seeing this Kretos countered with the spell he saw Hero Sora used.
"Explosion!"
…
Tsukiko watched Kretos's fight from a distance and was surprised at how strong Kretos was. This was the first ti she saw him actually fight. She already knew he was strong based on how he beat Kir, but knowing that and seeing it were two different things.
She knew that in a direct confrontation Kretos could win against almost anyone, yet deep down Tsukiko still held a bit of pride as a demon lord. She always thought that as long as she played smart and with a little bit of luck, she could've won against Kretos.
'It's a good thing I admitted defeat, there's just no way that I could beat this guy.'
…
Shera watched as her new lord was beating a legend of the demon race. Shera liked reading about the golden era of demons when the demon king still ruled. She had read about the Demon General Namor.
Though she didn't know that the army he controlled was an undead army, she knew that this particular Demon General led his army to nurous victorious battles. In fact, Demon General Namor could literally say that his army has known no defeat.
So watching such a distinguished and powerful general be toyed around by her current Lord was sothing she couldn't have imagined she would be able to witness.
…
It wasn't just Tsukiko and Shera, even Namor was surprised by how incredible Kretos's prowess in battle was. In fact, even Kretos himself was amazed by his improvent. The mana circulating throughout his body was faster and smoother than before. The quality and quantity have also increased to another level. Even now he could feel his mana increasing as he continued to battle.
Kretos also felt that not only his mana improved but so did his physical body. Kretos felt his body was lighter than usual as he was able to move faster. He with his sword at hand and his newly enhanced abilities aggressively attacked Namor.
Namor couldn't believe that such a young demon was able to push him to this state. He couldn't even break Kretos's offensive and counterattack. As Namor continued to defend he finally made a mistake and Kretos was able to cut off one of his arms.
Namor frowned as he used his innate ability and another arm burst out of the stump where his last arm was cut off. This was an ability he gained that could regenerate any lost limbs in exchange for mana and a bit of his life force. After regrowing his arm, Namor gritted his teeth and his armor burst outward.
The bone armor Namor was wearing surrounded him and ford a wall of bones that covered all areas. Kretos tried attacking the wall of bones but he couldn't get through. Also as he touched the wall of bones, so spears started coming out. The wall was like a porcupine as it attacked and at the sa ti defended.
Kretos felt even more excited as he saw this, it was good timing that Namor arrived, now he could check out just how strong he has beco.
Kretos used his new favorite move and summoned a lot of the weapons hidden in his shadow. The wall of bones was now surrounded by weapons. Kretos then started controlling all the weapons with his mana and used them to attack the wall.
Piercing with a lance, slashing with a sword, smashing with a Warhamr, pounding with a mace. Kretos was using all the weapons at his disposal while laughing heartily. The massive wall of bones slowly cracked and crumbled.
Namor couldn't even finish his chanting as Kretos aggressively assaulted him. This wasn't the kind of fight Namor and the others were expecting. Namor was stronger than any of the current generation demon lords, he was even stronger than Kir, yet he was being one-sidedly cornered by Kretos.
"[Bone Prison]!" Namor activated a spell that trapped Kretos. Four huge bones clasped onto Kretos's joints. While Kretos was immobile Namor wanted to use this chance to regain a bit of his stamina.
"This isn't enough to stop !" The bones that were grasping Kretos's joints started cracking. Seeing this scene Namor activated two other spells.
"[Raise Skeleton], [Chain of Sin]." These two spells consud a lot of mana, and as Namor used them without chanting the spell words and directly activated them the mana he used was doubled.
Four Skeleton warriors appeared before Kretos and grabbed hold of him. From beneath the ground, a crimson chain burst forth entangling Kretos. Namor had drained a significant portion of his mana using this spell [Chain Of Sin] without chanting spell words.
The [Chain of Sin] was a spell that would entangle the target and the graver his negative Karma was the tighter it will hold. While being bound by the [Chain of Sin] one would find it difficult to circulate mana and control spells. This was the strongest binding spell Namor knew, this spell could possibly even detain a Spirit Ruler. The weapons that were being controlled by Kretos fell to the ground as they lost their connection with Kretos.
Namor was feeling his mana being drained greatly as well as his stamina. As he was sure that Kretos was unable to move, Namor wanted to use this chance to attack Kretos, but as he was about to move Kretos started laughing wildly.
"Hahaha, this is aweso." A massive amount of mana started to gather around Kretos and then it burst out. The mana burst was so great it caused a shockwave blowing away the skeletal warriors that held Kretos. Even the tired Namor was pushed back without any difficulty. Namor summoned another bone sword and stabbed it onto the ground stopping himself from flying away.
The [Chain of Sin] stopped tightening around Kretos. It looked like it only a tightened a little bit, which stunned Namor. That spell was effective against those that have great amounts of negative Karma. Soone like Kretos who keeps on killing should have enormous amounts of negative Karma, so why wasn't the spell effective?
Even a normal human who hasn't done anything greatly wrong would have so kind of negative Karma, that would make the [Chain of Sin] tighten more than it did with Kretos. The only ti Namor saw this spell not work properly was when it was used against the human hero.
As Namor continued to look on stunned, Kretos had broken free from the spells that stopped him from moving. Now that he was free he noticed that Namor was on the ground unmoving.
"Is that it? Is that all you have to offer?" Kretos looked at the panting Namor in disappointnt. Was a demon general from the golden age of demons really this weak?
'Is he truly weak, or did I beco too strong?'
When Namor heard what Kretos said he gritted his teeth in frustration. It has been twenty thousand years since his last fight, so his movent were a bit rusty. But of course, he couldn't make such an excuse in front of Kretos. He ca here to see if Kretos was worthy to be his new lord. Yet the test he thought of to asure Kretos's strength beca a joke.
"Why aren't you saying anything, so is this truly it?"
Namor bit his lower lip angry at himself… He wanted to test if his new lord was worthy, but now it looks like he was the one unworthy to serve his new lord.
