Chapter 109 14: Forging A Path Without God!

Zell's halberd tore through the demon's flesh like melted butter as Azmael screamed in pain, grasping his crotch with two arms, trying to defend himself from the onslaught of blows from Zell with his body flashing through the air at high speed like a ghost.

"Don't test me, mongrel!"

As the demon shouted, a burst of black energy shot from Azmaels body; several people were knocked back and fell to the floor; even Zell began to slide across the stone floor before a solid hand stopped him.

Zell turned around to see who steadied him before a beautiful woman's face covered by silver helped and smiled at him.

Her lips glistened pink with a faint glitter, with a small nose and soft round cheeks bulged a little as she smiled like a seductive fox as her silver armour rattled, cushioning the blow.

She looked into his eyes; the surroundings seemed to slow down, people moving in delayed time as the pair watched each other; he could feel a sense of familiarity but couldn't quite pin it down.

"Hello, black knight! You look so awesome!" She said with soft words, almost charming him like a songbird chirping.

Zell gave her a nod before straightening his posture and grasping the demon-slaying halberd tightly.

Her hand was protected by a silver gauntlet sliding over his exposed back and powerful muscles, a slight hot breath leaving her lips as she looked back to her raid team.

"Let's talk more after you beat that guy up, tehe I am sure you will win for sure! Zell." The girl's body seemed to become a silver light before the sword, and the huge shield in her hands shone brilliantly and charged into combat with the larger demon.

[Zell… She called you Zell?]

[Which hussy is this one, then?]

He shook his head, not caring because the girl saw him as an ally; her simple touch not only felt him up but healed his wounds and placed a blessing on him, increasing his status by 10%, a great aid to him right now.

Zell felt filled with power as his muscles tensed. He walked forward slowly, watching as the huge black barrier faded. His steps turned into a jog before accelerating into a sprint thrusting his right knee forward, piercing the sharp spike towards Azmael.

Azmael saw him coming, anger clouding his judgment as he used his sword to parry the knee, only for Zell's halberd to swing around, slicing across the demon's neck and ripping a huge chunk of bloody flesh from his body.

"Ugh!"

Ignoring the demon's words, Zell didn't stop his assault, grasping the halberd tightly before swinging his entire body to strike the monster seven times with a whirlwind.

Clang! Azmael used his three arms to block several attacks; each time, his body and muscles convulsed and strained from the huge power, much more than before.

A grimace filled the demon's face as his hands began tearing from each blow's power; the thought that he might lose filled his mind.

"HYBRID!!" Azmael roared, his hands slashing down with such power the very air was thrust aside.

Woosh! A blade of wind shot across Zell's body; the dark red scales cracked from its power as he leaned back, holding the shaft of the halberd across his body, tilting it to block each attack from the demon; huge clangs sounded as his feet sank into the ground, cracking the stones.

Grit, dust and dirt began to float around them as each gritted their teeth, both men pushing against the other to win their bout of strength.

Zell released one hand from his halberd, sliding back several steps before a huge flame began to form around his palm; a smirk filled his deformed helmet; the demonic mask also smirked at Azmael before a blast of fire began to shoot from Zell's hand.

Once, twice, thrice…

He cast the magic four times in a row; each time, the arms of the demon were battered by the intense flames, charring his flesh and damaging his muscles.

"Graaah!"

Azmael swiped with his third arm while Zell kicked out with his right leg, smashing each other, sending the other flying backwards with a full-force blow.

Zell's blow hit the demon in his stomach, breaking several ribs and causing a dark blue bruise and a deep gash, shattering the demon's black armour. While the punch from Azmael smashed into his face, crushing Zell's black helmet and causing chunks to crack and drop to the ground.

As their fight began to heat up, it was starting to end in the east and west flanks.

Tessa's blade slashed through the neck of the powerful orc that came through the portal, blood spraying everywhere, except her flawless body, a faint smile pasted on her face as light beads of sweat dribbled down her cheeks.

"How's it going, mother?" She shouted with a slightly tired voice.

"Not good; the centre is almost collapsing; we should head down and support them."

The two began to speak normally, while the small monsters were left to Nora and Rika, who smashed them to pieces with her fierce fists coated in red flames.

"Then let's go. Should we help the other girls close the portal?"

A loud crash of lightning sounded almost instantly after Tessa asked her mother that question before the second gate closed in the east only a few moments after theirs.

"It seems there is no need to! Haha, damn, those girls must be quite strong, too; I can't wait to fight all your cute friends, Tessa!" Alizée said with glee, grabbing her daughter's hand and dashing towards the centre.

Rika held her fists out, taking deep breaths; she had just killed one of the last orcs that seemed proud of its tiny member.

"Hah… Hah…"

Her mind wandered, thinking of Zell, her magnificent master and lover, quickly snapping out of her daydream as Nora waddled up to her with a blushing face, clearly experiencing a battle high that most people experienced.

"Big sister Rika~."

The soft body of the badger leaned against the rabbit, her pale white skin slippery from her sweat, while the poor caramel-skinned rabbit was smooth, without sweating, as she took her time and focused on saving energy.

"What's wrong, Nora? Your huge tits are pressing against my face. Can you move?"

"Hehe~ I know you love us like a big sister!"

"Sigh, yeah, you are like my little sisters… Until you stole master's first ass fuck!"

"Tehe~ it was so good! Hehe, we should help them if it helps. I can tell you in detail about it tonight?"

Rika ignored the clingy badger that stank of sweat. She had no sense of her focus on saving energy, only wanting to help him quickly against those vile demons.

Her steps were fast, the ground torn up by her feet stomping down; the fallen humans and demons meant nothing to her; only the sight before her mattered.

The valiant man who battled against that monster solo, his long, thick halberd was smashed into the demon with brutal yet beautiful movements.

Zell's body spun around and leapt into the air to dodge the demon's counters, yet they still clashed with their bodies breaking each other's armour and scales.

Blood oozed from both men as they panted a few steps apart.

Flames began to swirl around Rika's body; on the other side, Anya shone with a golden light as her plump body dashed through the chaotic players, avoiding any spells thrown at the larger demon as the wind brushed against her face.

The pair met their eyes before suddenly Rika also broke into a sprint, the flames dancing around her like a passionate waltz as they closed the distance rapidly.

'Fuck, this guy is tough… There isn't even a damn health bar, so the numbers mean shit!' Zell complained, using the shaft of his halberd to stay standing. He was very tired, most of his handsome face now on display as the black hair swayed behind him like a god of beauty on the battlefield.

"Hah!"

"Hyah!"

When Zell began to lunge forward with a sharp, piercing blow, Azmael countered, stepping to the side and thrusting a powerful knee into Zell's body.

However, a moment later, a huge hammer smashed into the back of the demon, sending his body flying in the opposite direction, where a rabbit coated in flames stood waiting, her hips anchored down, ready to strike.

"Ugh!"

Azmael felt dazed from the sudden blow; the holy element in her attack caused him to suffer greater damage than normal before suddenly his eyes regained control.

Suddenly, his body entered the range of the smaller rabbit girl, Rika!

Rika stood before the demon; her fists were engulfed in flames. She was small in size, but her determination was towering.

With a fierce determination in her eyes, she launched a barrage of fiery punches at the demon, each connecting with a deafening crack.

The monster roared in anger as it tried to defend itself, but Rika was too fast and powerful.

Despite her size, Rika's powerful punches left the demon's body covered in burns and wounds. Her blows were rapid and fierce, chasing Azmael as he tried to dodge or flee; if he dashed, she dashed. If he jumped, She followed him with an explosive punch.

The monster tried to fly away, but Rika was not done yet.

She summoned a gust of wind to propel herself into the air and chased after the devil.

With one final punch, she sent the devil crashing to the ground, where it lay motionless after a loud bang, twitching from time to time.

"Phew…"

Rika landed gracefully beside the demon's crumpled form, her fists still burning with an intense flame; they danced around her body as she took deep breaths looking only at Zell with her huge eyes that shone with pride.

As if screaming, look at me! Look how strong I am!

The demon's body was severely wounded, its flesh charred and darkened from the fierce attack.

Rika let out a victorious cry as the demon's body disintegrated into ash, leaving behind a scorched patch of earth.

She stood tall, exuding strength, proving that there was indeed a path where the demons could be defeated.
