Chapter 93: Cursed Sword Release!

Chapter 93: Cursed Sword Release!

The Ord encompassing Agon's body was dangerous. One touch of that poison, and Id be done for.

Yamata No Orochi might be unable to display his full power, but that poison was still something no human would be able to handle. On top of all that, in this form Agon was a monster in all physical stats.

As Agon's purple claws were about to touch Roc, the barbarian-looking man reacted and gathered Ord in his fist and punched him.

The hit was nasty, and Agon's head bobbed back so fast that it felt like it was about to pop off.

If this had been Agon without Yamata No Orochis energy protecting him, his head would have been shattered to smithereens. But with all that Ord protecting him, he only slammed through a couple of trees.

Roc looked at his fist. "My body reacted on its own. That hasn't happened in a while."

As someone born with what could be considered the perfect physique for a Warrior, Roc had added to that with an insane amount of training. His instincts were crazy, and his body was like steel.

"Heh, seems like you finally found something dangerous you can't ignore," Pixie joked while dodging Anika's threads.

Agon stood up; his legs were shaky.

This was the first time he had gotten injured when in rage mode. Also, since Roc was skilled enough to coat his fist with Ord, they didnt make direct contact as the energy acted like armor around his fist, which saved him from the poison.

Instead of being scared, Roc smiled widely. "Yeah, it's been a while."

Boom!... Ord exploded in such a way that it made the dust around him shift upward.

It was almost like a Dragon Ball character powering up.

Agon charged, and Roc once again punched him in the face. His fist was imbued with so much Ord that it didnt directly connect with Agons face. It was almost as if an invisible gauntlet of Ord surrounded his hand.

Agon stood up and took a step, stumbled, and fell face-first to the ground.

"Seems like even that regeneration of yours only allows you to take so many punches in the chin before your brain starts feeling it," Roc went on the offensive and punched Agon over a dozen times, causing him to slam through many trees.

"Hey! I told you not to kill him!" Pixie warned him.

"Don't worry. I'm only going about 50%. He has regeneration, so he should be fine," Roc shrugged. The smile on his face made it clear that he was having too much fun and didn't want to stop.

It was a fistfight between two monsters. Just one of those hits would have splattered my brain on the ground.

I wouldnt hesitate to use Perfect Me if it were only the warrior. But things became complicated with Pixie here. If she intervened, even with Perfect Me I couldnt take on two Red Tail members at the same time.

Even with only one of them, the best I could do was stall.

The sole reason two Red Tail members had come was because of me. Only Roc was supposed to be here. I couldnt even begin to think why the boss would decide that there was more than one needed for a mission like this.

Fuck it, now wasnt the time to hesitate or overthink things!

I needed to stop Agon from entering the second stage, or everyone on this island was done!

Ever since coming to this world, I hadnt skipped even a day of training, and during my time with Lover Exorcist, I had used her healing special ability to its fullest.

{Perfect Me!}

[Give Order] that monotone voice rang in my mind.

Order: survive, stop Agon from reaching stage two, and neutralize Pixie and Roc. Cursed sword usage is allowed!

Thankfully Anika had a lot of Ord and the high affinity to back it up. As long as she trained, she would be able to move her strings faster and use more Ord to make them stronger.

I can tell by the look on your face that you probably only know the basics, Pixie shook her head, looking almost like a disappointed parent. The biggest strength pure Blasters have is that Ord doesn't have weight. Some train hard enough, and their abilities grow strong enough to ignore a couple of the laws of physics.

As soon as the woman said that, Anikas mind sparked with new ideas. But now wasnt the time to contemplate those things. Instead, she was more concerned with how the enemy had sensed her attack.

Since this woman was in the way, neither Anika nor Sei dared turn their backs on her and go to help Agon.

The first thing Anika took into account was Pixies new bat wings. No ability was perfect, and being able to manipulate every part of someones body and make new limbs and such would be something considered in the realm of impossibility. So with that in mind, it was unlikely she had manifested eyes on the back of her head.

Her ability probably allows her to manipulate herself to a cellular level and transform into something else. One of her affinities has to be Master. But with such a versatile ability, if she could use it leisurely, there had to be some big drawbacks.

Anika analyzed everything, and she concluded. It isnt unheard of for some Masters to sacrifice the demon taming aspect of their power for a strong special ability.

Taming demons was a Masters bread and butter. It was what made their affinity so powerful. For someone to sacrifice that, they either had to be crazy or had a secondary affinity. If Anika were a gambler, she would bet on-

Booom!... Whatever she was thinking slipped out of her mind. A heavy bloodlust filled the battlefield, making Anikas legs buckle, and even Pixie froze for a split second.

That bloodlust came from where Agon and Roc were battling.

At first, Anika thought that might be coming from the demon who had possessed her teammate. But Agons aura was filled with pure evil and not so much bloodlust.

Roc and Agon were in their own world, and neither seemed to sense the bloodlust. The barbarian was even laughing as Agon threw a blast his way, and then his hand shined as it seemed like he was using his special ability, and he slapped the attack away.

A large explosion rang out in the distance, and the after-wind was felt even here.

The explosion shook the ground, but Roc didnt even have a scratch on the hand he had used to slap that blast away.

But Roc didnt have the chance to celebrate as he raised his arm, and the source of the bloodlust moved past him in a blur.

The attacker aimed for Rocs neck, but the barbarian had defended in time. A new cut from his wrist to his elbow spewed blood profusely.

Huh? Roc stared wide-eyed at his injury. It has been a while since Ive seen my own blood. The last person to make me bleed was the boss.

A more robust Ord burst out of the barbarian, the ground below him cracked and he relieved a vast smile that almost split his face in two. This is it! The life and death battles I have been seeking for so long are finally here!

Agon charged at him, and Roc imbued his fist with Ord and punched the demon-possessed Agon on the forehead. Sorry, kiddo. But youre gonna have to go away for a bit-

Whatever he was about to say, he stopped as another large cut appeared on his backfrom shoulder to hip, and again a massive amount of blood spewed out.

Anika saw that the injury was significant, but for it to spew out so much blood, it had to be due to a special ability.

The attacker stood about ten feet away from Roc, the white in his eyes was completely red and his pupils were yellow. Though despite the changes, he was easy to recognize.

It was Kon, and even though he was releasing an enormous amount of bloodlust, it was with a strange combination of emotionless and coldness attached to it.

How could someone want to kill like a serial killer who loved the sight of blood while at the same time being emotionless? They were contradicting emotions!

AGhhhhgGHaaa! Agon roared, slamming Roc against a tree.

Agon crouched down in pain and grabbed at his forehead. His roars were like those of a beast in pain.

Out of the purplish evil energy surrounding her teammate, a black horn emerged from Agons forehead.

Then the air itself became too heavy to breathe
