98 Hight Ranking Demon

Gradus led the trio of Hunters to finish off the Imp that Eleanora had thrown into the ground half-dead, as they pointed their spears at it before it could regenerate and began to pierce its head, splattering it into the ground and spreading its shredded brain over the floor.
The last Elite Imp furiously went berserk, using his innate Berserk Mode ability, he attempted to kill the four Hunters by unleashing a powerful Demon Flare, but Eleanora kicked it off balance and then used her Blood Threads to stick his hands together, changing the direction of his magic as she moved his hands upwards through masterfully manipulating the blood threads.
I moved forward without wasting a single second, pointing the spear into the Elite Imp as the demon gritted its sharp teeth and looked at me hatefully, his eyes suddenly flashed with bright red light, and a strange shockwave of energy hit me.
Wait, this pathetic Imp has a Demon Eye?!
Suddenly, I felt as if my muscles became paralyzed and even my heart stopped beating for a single second! I felt like I was dying! This is a Demon Eye of Paralysis! How can this lesser Imp have it? What are the odds for such a ridiculous thing?!
“Unnggh…!”
I groaned in pain as I quickly used my Qi to unleash a shockwave of energy, taking away the demon energy inside of my body paralyzing my muscles and my heart, as my heart quickly began to beat once more, and I felt like my life came back to me. My mind felt dizzy, but I quickly pushed through it by using Metabolism Acceleration, a Tier 1 Life Attribute Spell to enhance my body and mind.
“GRAGUH?!”
The Imp was left speechless as he glanced at me advancing slowly towards him, I enhanced my Spear, Gluttony, with my Mana and feed it with Qi as well, the enormous crimson-red eye of the spear opened wide as a blood red aura was unleashed.
“Die…”
“GRAAAAHH…!”
CLAAAASH!
Without any fancy techniques, I simply trusted the spear into the Imp’s face and pierced its brains out of its skull, in an instant all of the brains splattered over the floor and the demon died on the spot.
BUMP!
Its body fell into the floor with a thud, as I gasped for air.
Eleanora quickly rushed to my side to assist me.
“My lord! Are you okay?! I didn’t knew that demon had such power, it seemed to not work on me, but it did on you…” she sighed.
“It worked on me because I am a human, you’re a spirit… It doesn’t matter, I killed it at the end… Hahh… I only need a bit more of EXP and I can level up and recover once more, let’s kill the Oni.” I said to Eleanora.
“Understood!” said Eleanora.
I quickly showered my body with light, as I conjured the Light and Life Magic Spells Recovery Light and Enhanced Regeneration, all boosted with the Level 2 First Aid and Savior Skills together, it made it possible for me to be able to heal myself even faster and more efficiently.
I had no wounds on my body, but I felt tired and pained, but that pain receded for the most part as I used these spells on me. The power of a Demon Eye wasn’t something to scoff at, I was surprised a mere Imp, even if Elite, would have such a power.
Demon Eyes are special abilities that Demons are born with, it grants them the ability to utilize special abilities to those they glare with their eyes. It consumes demonic energy, and it also works through demonic energy being directly infused into you.
The paralysis eyes are a particularly deadly one, as it can paralyze muscles, and the heart is made of them, so it can even paralyze the heart, stronger beings can even live with a paralyzed heart, but a human child such as me is not such a case.
Nonetheless, I had survived such a deadly attack and I was fine by myself, I had to simply endure this pain and quickly look forward at what to do next, such as killing the Oni.
Gradus and the other three Hunters were done with the hunt as well, and had leveled up as well, it was obvious by how they were overflowing with new energy, it appears their stamina and health had also greatly improved after leveling up, the powers I have of recovery might also be working on them, perhaps every person has this at their first ten levels? I don’t really know how to tell, but it felt like it.
“OORRRAAA!”
The Oni looked at us hatefully as he swung his enormous club, sweeping away the Hunters fighting against him and leaving most of them on the floor with pained expressions, they seemed to be alive, but they might have several internal injuries.
We quickly moved without a second thought, Gadus led our party as the other three Hunters surrounded me, and Eleanora had already disappeared from the place and melded into the shadows of the forest trees around us, quickly disappearing. The Oni was fixated into me, and he didn’t noticed how she just disappeared.
“You humans are weaklings… but you were capable of killing my three dogs… For that, I have to admit you bunch is somewhat decent… Especially you, child-“
“Stop talking so much.”
FLAAAAASH!
CLASH!
“AGH!”
I had fired another stone right into his forehead once more, his speeches were pointless, and I simply used that opportunity to hit him in the head again. He was left dizzy as blood came out of his broken nose. He looked at me with his bloodied eyes rather hatefully.
“You… you… YOOUUUU!”
“Here he comes!” said Gradus.
The Blue Oni began to charge directly towards us angrily, his entire body was unleashing a strong aura of demonic power, and his enormous club was shrouded on it. This one wasn’t going to be an easy win.
