Chapter 432 [432] A taste of what each other felt.[2]

It was brutal.

The fight with the demon was brutal, Immediately upon activating Decimation, my body was akin to a rampaging beast that had lost all control, and one that had no regard for it's own life.

Without even being able to do anything, I could only witness the sight of my body, or rather Elijah's body literally melting from the power that resulted from using |DECIMATION|

The veins popped up and it was as if lava was running through them instead of blood, my skin had turned bright crimson and I...went f.u.c.king berserk.

"You!"

But, Elijah's body could not sustain it for long. Based on what I was seeing, he was still a kid as of now, about 10 or 11 years of age.

The fact that he contended with a demon for this long, even with the system and all it's benefits, was an achievement worth boasting about all your life. It was something even an experienced veteran awakened would fall at...But a child was able to do it.

"You son of a..!"

And the demon? Yeah, he was pretty p.i.s.sed as well.

Who wouldn't be? He just laid waste to an entire city and a ten year old kid had injured him, the same ten year old kid had fought so hard that even though his bones had been turned to mush and his veins had burst apart.

He was still raring to go, like a hero who wouldn't fall until he had defeated his foe.

'Haha...f.u.c.king son of a b.i.t.c.h.'

I cursed in my mind, although this may have seemed as if I was ridiculing, or even cursing Elijah...I was just f.u.c.king impressed.

Completely in awe, one could say. Even though I was feeling a f.u.c.k ton of pain, there was nothing but admiration in my heart.

Even though I was feeling the pain of using the skill |DECIMATION|, I honestly couldn't give a d.a.m.n. The curses I had spoken of in my mind were actually praising Elijah.

"YOU SON OF A b.i.t.c.h!"

The demon's cracked his whip, striking it against the ground and walking towards me with a steady, but clearly enraged gait. I wanted to let out a laugh, but sadly couldn't.

"A f.u.c.king child!...A f.u.c.king child!"

It seems his ego had been dealt a ma.s.sive blow.

"Forget about becoming a demon...I will torture that f.u.c.king soul of yours for all eternity."

My previous statement was wrong, his ego had not been dealt a ma.s.sive blow, but had rather been torn to shreds. Literally.

The demon got closer and closer, and extended his hands.

"The supreme dragon..."

However, at the crux of the moment, just when he was about to use a skill that would probably d.a.m.n my soul...he stopped.

'HA! Take that! The protection of a supreme dragon!'

I gloated, the look on it's face after the fight was worth watching. And even more so when the demon realized it couldn't do a f.u.c.king thing to Elijah's soul.

'Hmmm...?'

This was probably the worst time, but I wondered...If his skill had succeeded, would it be Elijah's soul that would be d.a.m.ned...or mine? I am the one in the body right now but that is a scary thought.

"...Whatever."

However, my gloating was cut short by the demon cracking his whip once again. The demon looked at me with a terrific grin, and said.

"The supreme dragon cannot protect your physical body...not as long as you are in this lowly world."

A chill went down my spine and I s.h.i.+vered.

'Wait...'

Before I could even comprehend it, the demon attacked me with it's whip. The whip hit Elijah's body straight in the chest and ripped the skin apart. However...I wished the pain of skin being cut apart was the only pain I felt.

A different type of pain invaded Elijah's body and I could feel every bit of it...And I f.u.c.king hated it.

'...son of a b.i.t.c.h.'

I cursed the demon. Right now, I really...really wished I was in my own body, then I would have a better chance at defeating this d.a.m.ned thing.

No, I was pretty sure I could pummel the b.a.s.t.a.r.d...only If I was in my own body that is.

'Even Elijah could do it...'

Even the Elijah I knew could do it, provided he used |DECIMATION|, but sadly, right now...he was but a kid.

Because of the injuries this body had sustained from the previous fight and use of the skill, It could not move an inch but I could feel all the pain.

's.h.i.+t...'

At this moment...I really thought I would die.

But I couldn't do anything, no matter what I tried, I only served the role of an observer and apparently a victim as well.

This body would not move according to my wishes, no matter how much I tried.

But I refused to let it end, I knew it couldn't end like this. The tower wouldn't let it end like this.

The whip approached me again, but it was all slow to me. Even though it was probably moving incredibly fast, I, or rather Elijah's eyes perceived it to be slow.

And just when it was about to strike, a saving grace came.

A bolt of ice struck the whip and redirected it, not even a moment after a man dressed in an ornate, blue armor appeared like a rising tide, and like Poseidon, he wielded a spear that controlled the very tide he appeared with. And struck the demon right in the head. He seemed...familiar.

"Run kid!"

He said. How much I wanted to say that I could literally not run, I could not.

Thankfully, with his appearance, the notification of the tower appeared as well.

[Transporting to the forty second floor.]

*********

[Tower of Trials, 40th floor, Elijah Ardor POV]

I plunged the Sword of Sundering h.e.l.lfire into the heart of the clone, and fell to the ground soon after.

My body was littered with wounds, and each breath was taking a toll on me, My heart dared to jump out of my chest and my lungs were on fire.

This fight...had taken it's toll on me, I had to come up with ingenious ways to defeat myself, and by ingenious I meant do whatever the f.u.c.k I could do that I normally didn't do.

It was hard.

[Bravo!]

'f.u.c.king h.e.l.l.'

The tower was back.

[You cleared it much faster, and much better than your predecessor.]

'Shut up...please.'

I desperately wished for the ability to rip it's tongue, if it had one, out.

I truly did...just so this b.a.s.t.a.r.d would shut up and let me rest. for a while.

But not all wishes are granted.

[Now...You showed an ingenuity unmatched by anyone I have ever seen, and a will that was like a mountain! Firm and piercing high into the skies...Now challenger...

Go forth to the next floor!]

"...?!"

Wait, what?!

"No! I wanna go to the lobby fi-"

But I was unable to complete my sentence before I was devoured by the blinding light of teleportation.

[Good Luck Challenger! May your mentality not break...]
