387 The Rampaging Mad Half-Demon
—–
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
My Undead Walls were ultimately destroyed, as their HP reached zero, I swiftly ordered them to use [Self Destruction], the three I had created alongside the biggest one all exploded, generating an enormous shockwave of energies which took down dozens of Undead, so many that most of our front was cleansed.
Although there were still around a bit over a hundred left, even the Rotting Giants were falling, half of them were already destroyed by the combination of Erdrich’s monstrous physical strength and Elizabeth’s holy magic, while Eric dedicated himself to support us with his entangling vine arrows and healing magic, which he was becoming progressively better as a Druid, especially his buffing magic.
Spells such as [Strengthen Physique] and the Skill [Children of the Forest] were surprisingly good at boosting our stats by a few digits, which all stacked with previously mentioned buffs, bringing a surprisingly high amount of power that barely surpassed our limits.
“Battle Demon Arts: Furious Asura!”
TRUUUMM…!
Erdrich unleashed one of his strongest Skills, which he had been learning as he Leveled up his special Class and Half-Demon Powers. His entire body was already completely red, and as he gained black tattoos which almost covered his entire body, new, gray colored tattoos emerged over his charcoal black skin.
His fists grew to a ridiculous size for a split of a second, hitting the Rotting Giants in front of us and crushing one of them. Their enormous and amorphous bodies exploded into pieces, as Erdrich didn’t stopped there, quickly hitting a second one and blowing it away with all his fury.
“RAAAAAHHHH!!!”
However, he had done quite the miscalculation, as he began to go in a rampage, attacking everything around him without thinking. Some of the Vipers were stepped over by his enormous body, getting flattened over the floor, while two more Rotten Giants pushed forward and stopped him from moving any further, using their many jaws to try to bite through his skin, which was too hard for them to be able to hurt him.
“Gggrrr…! RAAAAH!”
Erdrich rampaged, unleashing the fury of an Asura as a second pair of horns grew over his head, a long tail emerged behind him, hitting one of the Rotten Giants and throwing it away. His hands reached the other and easily tore it into pieces with furious and blazing fists covered on demon flames.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Rotten Giant thrown by his tail quickly got up, thinking it could fight him now that he was distracted, but Erdrich reacted in time, like a beast. He jumped into the air and then fell like a meteor over the other, crushing it on the spot and making its entire body blow into pieces.
It was a brutal showcase of power!
However, as all of us were fighting against the army of Undead, and especially the tricky and powerful Vipers and their Demonic Eyes that could Paralyze, Confuse, or even create Illusions, the roar of a furious entity was heard, coming straight towards us.
TRUUM! TRUUM! TRUUM!
Its footsteps quickly generated earthquakes, as the surrounding Undead were all crushed by enormous legs made up of many arms and legs stitched together, getting flattened over the floor one after the other.
From within the darkness, several heads emerged, as if we were fighting an hydra, dozens of eyes glared at Erdrich, as the head of Basilisks, wolves, and even a wyvern emerged from the darkness, with long snake-like necks!
“SHAAA!”
“GROAR!”
“WOOF!”
“Ungh?!”
CLAAAASH!
All the heads attacked Erdrich at the same time, but his enormous size, of over six meters intercepted them all, only for the enormous heads to bite through his gigantic and muscular arms, and his shoulders and back!
“AAGGGHH…!”
“Erdrich!”
Everyone quickly got scared, as Erdrich, losing all his reason due to over exceeding himself, couldn’t hear us, roaring like a madman as he began to swing his arms and then unleashed a furious barrage of blazing fists against the Undead Giant.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
“RAAAAAHHH…!”
Suddenly, one of his fists gained a black flame which seemed to turn everything within its surroundings completely cold, as if the temperature had dropped several grades. Pointing that fist into the Undead Monster, and crushing its Basilisk head, burning it with an explosion of black fire.
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
“Hahhh… Aggh…”
Erdrich remained in there, barely standing. For a moment, we thought the monster was gone, only for a moment. I knew that thing wasn’t done yet.
FLASH!
I moved as swift as possible towards Eric, but it seemed I was a second too late.
Six more heads emerged from the darkness, opening their jaws against Erdrich, gathering Mana and Demonic Energy… and then unleashing an enormous, combined breath attack against him, resembling an all-consuming beam.
FLAAAAASH!
“AAAAAGHH…!”
As the enormous power began to consume Erdrich’s entire body until his body began to burn to a crisp, I quickly acted, pointing my Demonic Hand towards Erdrich, and utilizing my Demonic Eye of Gravity, generating a Gravity Field, and then pulling Erdrich into my own shadows in time. Eleanora did the same with everybody else, just in time before the monstrous beam were to consume all of us.
BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
The gigantic beam impacted the underground area where we arrived, destroying the walls and ceilings, and trapping us down here. The enormous attack made the entire underground tremble, the ceiling crumbled apart as countless boulders began to fall, I was sure that there was a loud earthquake out there.
When everything calmed down, we quickly emerged out of the shadows, looking at the complete disaster in front of us. And Erdrich who ended being knocked out. His wounds were quite severe, as most of his skin was charred, however, when he went back to his human form, like a snake, his demon skin was peeled off as if molting, healing him in the process. I guess he has such an ability.
And of course, dozens of eyes glared at us the moment we emerged out of the shadows, the monstrous being quickly made its presence clear to all of us present…
