Chapter 86: The last fight (IV)
A sword met a massive spiked club with a resounding clang, sparks flying as metal scraped against metal, with wisps of fire and arcs of lightning flooding in all directions. The force of the impact reverberated through both weapons, creating a shockwave that rippled through the air.
Vlad’s muscles strained against the immense pressure, but his grip on the sword remained steady. His eyes were pure focus as he stared at the Abyssal demon, who showed the same intent.
As the seconds passed and their weapons clashed over and over, the focus on the Depravita and Abyssal only increased, and their senses became sharper, enhancing the strength and skill behind their attacks.
The Depravita and Abyssal were actually growing more powerful during the fight. They used the enemy and the threat of death to improve their talent and skills, pushing themselves higher and higher.
However, everything had to come to an end, and the zenith of their clash finally arrived as Arasbus struck down with his club, charging all the strength he had left in that single attack.
The spiked club came down incredibly fast and with immense power, but Vlad did not move away or dodge. His eyes showed absolute focus as he raised his sword, making it clash with the spiked club.
With a twist of his wrist, Vlad redirected the momentum of the Abyssal demon’s club, pushing it to the side and off its intended path. While he saved his head from bursting open like a melon, the spiked club still reached his left arm, sliding by its side, shattering the armor and destroying the flesh.
Had it not been for the Lightning Barrier, the spiked club would have shattered the muscles and broken all the bones in his arm while burning the flesh, essentially crippling the left arm.
The wound generated immense pain, but Vlad’s focus did not waver for a single second as it was his chance. He raised his sword, aiming it toward the right side of the Abyssal demon’s chest, before gathering his Force in the soles of his feet and the point of his weapon.
"Single Pierce!" Vlad activated his Force skill, propelling his body and piercing the sword into the chest of the Abyssal demon, reaching all the way to the heart!
Arasbus’s entire body trembled as he felt the sword burying inside his heart, severing it in two. Shock appeared in the eyes of the Abyssal as he understood the type of wound he had just received, and he looked at the young man who did it.
At the moment of their death, a warrior would show their true and purest self, some of them cursing their enemies or showing pure fear. As for the Abyssal demon, what appeared on his face was a bloody smile full of satisfaction.
