Chapter 285: CHAPTER 285 - Final Forms.
//// Author here: These few days have been hard on me, guys. So, I apologize for the inconsistencies you had to face.
Yesterday's chapters were posted in a hurry, so I didn't notice that instead of 285 and 286, I posted 275 and 176.
I will upload 4 chapters today, to make up for yesterday, and I will try to do something about the repeated chapters. ////
'We just need to hold on…'
Just as that thought arrived in the demon generals' heads, they readied themselves, for the last few seconds of the fight.
'Please, attack.'
Like every time, Morvan was the one to make a move first, or more like it was her summon that did it, but it was at her request.
*Sssss….*
The flames coming out of the dragon's jaw, burned the air itself, making a hissing sound.
"ROARR!!"
And with a loud roar, it opened its jaw wide, shooting a pillar of condensed black and red fire toward Alex.
The other demon generals also launched their attacks respectively, hoping to push Alex away from themselves.
They could feel the destructive energy in Alex's body, even now when he was standing more than 300 meters away from them.
*Woosh*
All of their attacks shot toward Alex, cutting through the wind, intending to do whatever damage they could.
The demons clenched their fists, pouring more and more mana into their attacks, enforcing them to the extreme.
The air was palpable with a sense of seriousness.
The demons weren't sure of how strong Alex was right now.
All they knew was….
'He is strong enough to kill us in one strike.'
Yes, they could tell that much just by the power of the last explosion that had happened a while ago.
They knew that if they were late and didn't escape in time, then just like the other things in the area, they would've turned into nothing.
They were tense.
They knew that they just had to hold on, and they thought they would be able to…
But…
*BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!*
"WHAT!"
Their eyes and mouths went wide due to the shock they felt.
Morvan even took a step back with a gaze filled with bewilderment and terror hidden deep inside, fixed on Alex.
The other demon generals were not any better.
They were shell-shocked because of what they were seeing.
Their stunned state only broke when they saw Alex waving his hand, making the small 1-meter-wide barrier made of the SD disappear from his extended palm.
"Good enough…"
Alex's purr made its way to their ears as his black and silver eyes turned toward them.
*Shiver*
They shivered as they felt the aura from Alex's body transform into a large beast baring its fang at them.
It was nothing but an illusion their mind had created, they knew it as well, but they still felt fear.
'You are stronger than I thought…'
Alex, on the other hand, was looking at the black mass of energy in his palm with a brow raised.
He was more than satisfied by the SD's power.
He could perceive the fear that the demon generals felt.
The way their bodies trembled when he looked at them, the way their emotions were blinking from fear to hope, he could see it all with his empathy of incubus.
The dragon's eyes were wide open as well, and although he couldn't feel any emotion emanating from that dragon, Alex could tell that it was shocked as well.
He did stop a full-blown attack from the same dragon with just a thin barrier made of SD's energy.
That thin barrier devoured and destroyed its attack without a hitch.
The thing that shocked all of them even more was that while that was happening, Alex had a completely relaxed expression, it was as if everything was a bit too easy for him.
And even if it was easy for him, he should have some concern or some worry.
'You're using your life force for god's sake!'
All of the demon generals wanted to scream out loud.
Their backs were covered in a cold sweat, and they feared that they might lose their lives as Alex stared at them.
And Alex was just standing there, looking at them with a smile marring his face.
His carefree behavior made them grit their teeth in frustration.
They, the four demon generals, were hesitating to move toward a guy who was a whole major rank lower than them.
*Step*
But as if he had enough staring at them, Alex finally took a step forward.
*Step*
Another step.
*Step*
Then another.
However, the steps he took were not on the ground, he was walking in the air, yet the sound of him walking was echoing through the area.
"Grrrrrr…."
The dragon growled threateningly, warning Alex not to move forward, but Alex just smiled at the dragon.
*Step**Step**Step*....
Alex kept moving forward and his steps kept resounding in the surroundings.
Every step increased the heart rate of the demon generals.
*Step*
Alex, who was walking toward them, stopped 20 meters away from the demon generals.
"Huh?"
But then, the demon generals had their eyes widened as they saw their own footprints in front of them.
'Did I just step back in fear….?' X4
They questioned themselves, and to their disbelief, all they found was one answer: yes.
They didn't want to accept it, but their trembling bodies and clattering teeth made it impossible to not believe it.
They, the ones who lived at the top of the food chain, took a step back in terror.
It was not actually just one step, though; they had taken at least 10 steps each.
The four of them exchanged stupefied and exasperated looks before they clenched their trembling fists.
Their breathing slowly stabilized, their heart rate started getting normal, and their shivering bodies stopped as well.
Yes, they were scared, and they accepted it, but that didn't mean that they were going to continue showing this shameful behavior.
'This is unbefitting of a demon general.'
They were demon generals—the ones that led the demon army. If they trembled in front of a guy who was a major rank below them, then what face would they show to their followers?
Yes, Alex was very strong, and they were trying to buy time so that they could defeat him easily, but not anymore.
"Kill him."
Valerius, the one who has tried not to kill Alex till now, finally gives an order that goes against what he wants.
He was the strongest of the four demon generals, the leading general of the demonic army, so he, of course, had the highest arrogance among the demons.
So, now that Alex had injured his pride, even he couldn't take it.
*Slash*
Along with his order, he slashed his wrist.
*Splurt*
But although it was just a single slash on his wrist, blood started spurting out of it.
It started covering him like a cocoon, making his changes invisible.
But it was not just him who finally revealed their trump cards.
*Crack*
The ground below Morvan cracked….
*Swoosh*
Bone fragments rushed toward Morvan as they came out of the ground.
*Pierce**Pierce**Pierce*...
They shot at her, piercing her body here and there, but she remained still with her eyes focused on Alex.
Nyx, just like the other two, revealed his trump card….
*Woosh*
Wind started swirling around him, levitating him up in the air before the wind gained a tint of green, and….
*Fwoosh*
Shot toward his eyes, mouth, nose, ear, or even the pores on his skin.
His body started getting enveloped in the green mist swirling around him as it slowly got inside his body.
Malak, on the other hand, just stared at Alex, before he clenched his fists and….
*BOOM*
He smashed it on the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise up.
The last thing that was seen was Malak's fists lightening with fire; it was as if the fire was burning his skin because his skin was getting darker.
But Alex, who was the reason for all this, just stood 20 meters away from them.
A distance so small that if it were any other legendary ranker, they would've died way before they could even see this form of the demon generals.
Alex just smiled wider as he looked at them transforming into their final forms.
