The police car sirens' sound could be heard in Cherrias Plaza, a shopping district not far from Diamond College. Several police cars were parked crosswise, blocking the road, blocking people from entering the area. Several ambulances were also seen busy handling several injured people who were lying on the stretchers.
The policen stood at the front lines with their left hands stretched forward. The magic bracelets on their wrists glowed and a wall composed by their magic power covered the place. The magic bracelet is a device for converting a person's magic power into a magic shield that is commonly used by the police. While behind them, another troop of policen braced in their position with their magic guns. Similar to the magic bracelet, a magic gun is a device to turn soone's magic power into magic bullets.
Unfortunately, although magic shields are effective enough to withstand the demon attacks, magic bullets are not very effective at killing demons. It takes at least about 15 bullets just to kill a rat demon. Whereas without the Holy Chain that can bind it, the police will have difficulty to shoot it because of the demon's fast movent. Therefore, in demons attack's case, the police usually only closed the area, evacuated the residents and waited for the demon hunters to arrive.
Larry, Emma and Theo had changed their clothes into demon hunter uniforms and covered their heads with hoods. Their feet stepped confidently towards the place while as soon as the people saw their uniforms, they imdiately gave them a way.
'Wow, they sure look like heroes.' I stood by the alley, watching them from a distance with a cap over my head. Even though I didn't change into Damian, but I already took off my sweater and placed my bag in my college locker.
Once they arrived in front of the police, Theo showed them his demon compass and a shield disappeared to give them a way. They walked into the area and the shield re-ford behind them.
I entered an alley nearby to avoid the crowd. Since I couldn't follow them, I had to find another way. My gaze swept around , making sure no one else was there before I returned my gaze to the building in front of .
'Demonic Form Activated.'
-Kkraakk --- Kkraakk --- Kkraakk
Two horns appeared above my head along with a pair of bat wings growing behind my back. A tail grew behind and slipped out of my jeans, while my eyes turned red and my face changed to Damian.
[You have activated your Demonic Form.]
[Fly has been activated.]
[All skills effectiveness 30%.]
My feet landed on top of the building and walked to the other side as I folded my wings. My eyes swept downwards, looking for the demons' location. And dozens of demons gathered in a small public park imdiately caught my attention, it was very easy for to find them since I was on a high ground.
I watched them for a mont and their status appeared above their heads.
[Na: Shadow Imp]
[Level 6]
[HP: 169/169]
[DP: 55/55]
My heart was pounding as my mind returned to last night's incident. My eyes continued to check them one by one but I did not find any Chaos Imp or Vengeful Imp among them. I was relieved by that but then I realized their number was growing.
I rembered one more thing.
'The crack!' What that Shadow Imps did was the sa as yesterday's incident, it ant that they were probably waiting for their leader. They're waiting for the Vengeful Imp to co out of the crack!
My eyes swept around once again and found the Imps were coming from an alley not far from there. Well, what my 'not far' ans is 3 buildings away from where I am now. Since I was at a high place everything didn't seem far for . I glanced at the three of them to make sure they were still far away before jumping from building to building as fast as I could. I didn't dare to fly too high because the sun was still shining brightly, they could see easily.
The stink stench pierced my nose along with an announcent in a red box in front of when I stood right in the building next to that alley.
[!!! Warning !!! ]
[Other Demons detected!]
I opened my wings as I glided down. Several Chaos Imps and a weird crack hovering in their midst entered my sight. I imdiately recognized them since they still haven't turned themselves into humans like the Shadow Imps earlier. My eyes stared at them like an eagle eyeing its prey as I used my skill.
'Demonic Energy. Demonic Claw.'
[Demonic Energy has been activated.]
[Demonic Claw has been activated.]
[STR: 50 90]
[AGI: 50 90]
[Ti remaining: 4:56]
In an instant, my speed got faster and hard black skin grew over my hands like strong gauntlets. Once they entered my range, my claw swung to the closest Imp's neck.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 421 HP. ]
The Imp turned into ashes while the other Imps turned their gaze at in shock. Without wasting ti, I jumped behind them and swung my claw again.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 411 HP. ]
With my demonic form, I could jump and slide behind one after another Imp with ease, turning their bodies one by one into ashes.
As the last Chaos Imp before turned to ashes, a sound rang behind .
-Kreekk --- Kreekk --- Kreekk ...
I turned around and saw another Imp forcing himself out of the crack. His completely red eyes stared at , sharp spikes covering his hands to his shoulders, as well as his feet. Due to his different shape from the Chaos Imp, I quickly checked him with my observation skill.
'Observation.'
[Observation skill succeeded.]
[Na: Foul Imp]
[Level 24]
[Race: Demon]
[HP: 516/516]
[DP: 129/129]
[Skills: Acid Splash lv 3, Demonic Claw lv 3, Venom Spike lv 1]
[Emotion: Rage]
[Condition: Normal]
[Weakness: Red Orb]
[Talent: Spike Protection (Protects himself by extending the spikes around the body like a hedgehog)]
From his talent, I could conclude that he has a strong body like the Chaos Imp. But since it didn't say that he is invulnerable to magic attack so I decided to attack him from a distance as I searched for his weakness. I jumped backwards, my hand turned towards him.
'Hell Thunder!'
Dark lightning ca out of my hand and attacked the Imp. I rember that I had a 10% chance to paralyze him with this skill, if it works then I can find his weak point more quickly.
[You have struck a Foul Imp for 110 HP. ]
"Grraaaahhhh!" The Foul Imp scread angrily as he fired so spikes from his body.
-Prang! -Prang! -Prang!
The building glass breaking sound was heard as I flicked my wings to fly away from his spikes. Actually, I want to use my Devil Space skill to cover this place but if I use it then Larry, Emma and Theo will be in demonic curse effect, I'm not sure they can fight against the Shadow Imps in that state.
I noticed a red orb between his crotch.
'Found it!'
Quickly, I aid my hand at it.
'Demonic Spike!' Yep! It was between his crotch, I didn't want to attack it at close range.
Ten black lances appeared in front of and shot towards the orb, like bullets fired in a row.
[You have shot a Foul Imp for 162 HP. ] X10
Soon his body turned to ashes. I turned my gaze to the crack since I realized there hasn't been any announcent that my battle is over.
Another Foul Imp tried to get out of it, his head, body and legs partially out, while his arms were still stuck inside. His body kept moving, rubbing against the edge of the crack, trying to open it even wider.
"Oh no, you don't!" I directed my hand at him.
'Demonic Spike!'
Another ten black lances appeared in front of and hurtled towards the orb between his crotch. But strangely there was no damage from it, even all my lances were destroyed before they could touch it.
[Your Demonic Spike has been destroyed by a barrier.]
[Your enemy is invulnerable to magic attack.]
My eyes widened in shock. I glanced behind him and caught a glimpse of another Imp who was dressed like a dieval mage, his staff pointed at the Foul Imp as he grinned evilly at . I checked the status above his head.
[Na: Mage Imp]
[Level 26]
[HP: 512/512]
[DP: 203/213]
It was clear, the Mage Imp used his skill to protect his friend. Without wasting ti, I lunged to the Foul Imp. Since I can't attack him with my magic attack, I just need to kill him with physical attacks.
I kicked him hard right in the orb.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Foul Imp for 412 HP. ]
Then swung my claw at it, but before my claw landed, the Imp vomited sothing out of his mouth.
A sticky and slimy liquid drenched my body as my claw smashed his orb.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Foul Imp for 410 HP. ]
The Foul Imp's body turned to ashes, while a sharp pain burned my skin accompanied by a hissing sound. I grimaced in pain as my skin turned red like scalded by boiling water.
[You have taken 54 Acid damage.]
[Warning! You are in an acid burn effect.]
[Your speed will decrease by 10%.]
[Your HP will decrease by 1 point per 2 seconds.]
"What the hell!" I cursed in annoyance as I shook off the remaining fluid from my body, enduring the pain. The stench of rotten fish mixed with sweaty socks that hadn't been washed for a month wafted from it. But then I held out my hand in front of as I realized the Imp Mage had pointed his staff at .
'Demonic Spike!'
The Mage Imp cancelled his spell and protected himself with a barrier. All my lances were destroyed before it could touch him.
[Your Demonic Spike has been destroyed by a barrier.]
[Your enemy is invulnerable to magic attack.]
Before that Mage Imp launched another attack, I cast my skill.
'Dark Energy.'
The dark aura emanating from my hands covered the crack as I held back the stinging pain that stabbed my skin. Realizing that the crack was almost closed, the Imp Mage cast another spell. A black electric ball in the size of a baseball appeared in front of him and he hit it with his staff. The ball flew towards , while I stopped my dark energy skill and countered it with my Demonic Spike.
My black lances flew towards it, his electricity orb and my lances collided in the mid-air, blowing it before it could co out the crack. The Imp Mage was thrown away, while I cast my Dark Energy to close the crack.
A few seconds later, the crack was closed.
[The crack has closed.]
[You have used up 10 DP. ]
*Ting!*
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[Level Up!]
[You are now Level 21.]
[You have 7 unused stat points.]
[You have 1 unused skill point.]
I let out a sigh of relief as I lowered my hand.
'Dispel, Dark Healing.'
[Dispel skill succeeded.]
[The acid burn effect has been neutralized.]
[Dark Healing has been used.]
[Your HP has restored 100 points.]
The pain that burned my skin disappeared, and so did all of my wounds. Unfortunately, even though the acid burn effect was gone, the stench that covered didn't diminish at all.
"Dammit! Stupid Imp! If you got a hangover just jackpot sowhere else!" I cursed again, waving my hands, feet, head and wings, hoping it could reduce the sll.
Realizing my efforts were in vain, I let out another sigh and flapped my wings, bringing my body upward.
'Looks like I have to go ho to take a shower after this.'
