[VRMMO] Dead One

(He blocked my bolt?! I even used one of my ultimate skills!)

"…. I will deal with the intruder." – said the unknown mage as his body began growing and twisting, before the popping up like an ballon, destroying its human body and revealing an weird humanoid creature with lower body made out of tentacles made out of fingers, its torso looking like an skeleton that held onto the staff made out of eyes, while the creature head resembles an goat head that had its eyes replaces with curly horns.

[Noble Demon – Karugal Ko'ga'n]

"!?"

(Noble demon?!)

(But wait! This doesn't make sense! My eye detection ability would had at least be able to sense demonic energy!)

(What is going on?)

"[Bring Forth The Fingers]." – the demon aimed with his staff towards Oron, creating an magic circle that summoned an column of clustered fingers that sprouted towards Oron who quickly dodged the attack before moments later the column exploded.

"?!"

(Damn! This guy has some fire power?!)

"[Finger Bombardment]." – the demon aimed with its tentacle fingers at Oron before then firing them like rockets at him, forcing him to run away as the fingers chased after him.

Oron quickly turned around and shot with his crossbow, hitting and blowing up the incoming finger missiles.

However, Oron did not noticed some of the fingers missiles coming from the opposite side, causing them to catch up to him and blew up alongside the area around him.

"…."

The mage summoned an giant flesh hand that blocked the bolt of poison that destroyed the hand as Oron left his invisibility.

"Could you stop trying to "FINGERING ME"?! I'm not into you!" – replied Oron while looking around.

"…."

(Only the demon is fighting me. The other mages are focused on ritual alongside the emperor.)

(That giant dragon body is straight up melting. I guess once the entire body melts the ritual will be completed?)

(The emperor seems to be the real key here. I need to murder this fucker!)

Oron opened fire several strong crossbow shots and in the response to that the demon manifested several giant hands that confronted and destroyed themselves alongside Oron attacks.

"Tch." – Oron aimed above the demon and fired the crossbow bolt that would suddenly explode, causing an rain of the bolt like projectiles to start raining down from above at the demon who created two giants hands that formed an barrier above himself and the emperor.

"[Ballista Penetration]!"

Oron fired an powerful crossbow shot towards the demon, alarming it and making it deploy another hand barrier that stood in the bolt way.

However, this time the Oron bolt penetrated the barrier and headed straight towards the emperor.

But before it could reach him, the demon used its palm to block the attack, taking the hit for the emperor.

"Tch." – the demon gazed at its wounded hand.

"Hurry it up. This bastard is dangerous." – said the demon.

"Well, I'm trying my best here! But this does take fuking time!" – replied the emperor as the room was filled with the screams of the dragon as his flesh continues to melt.

"…."

(Wait.)

Oron changed his target towards the dragon and fired multiple shots, forcing the demon to create an giant hand that blocked several shots.

"…."

(I knew it. They need to sacrifice an "LIVING BEING". If I kill the dragon, I will win.)

"[Finger Bombardment]!" – the demon once again fired multiple finger rockets towards Oron that started running around, trying not to get hit while also using his crossbow bolts to safety get rid of the incoming attacks.

Oron then tried counter attacking, but the demon used skill [Hand Of Demon] to summon an giaganting demon hand that easily blocked Oron attacks before then extending and trying to crush Oron who began firing multiple times at the arm, blowing it up.

Oron then quickly pulled out multiple daggers and threw them direct at the demon who in response to that used his tentacle fingers to knock back the daggers.

"?"

However, the demon did not knocked away the daggers and instead they attached themselves to the demon limbs before moments later causing an chains explosion to occur that covered the demon vision.

The demon instantly swinged around its tentacle fingers, getting rid of the smoke created by the explosion, but as soon as he did, he saw two crossbow bolts enchanted with fire flying towards the emperor and towards the dragon.

"Tch!"

"[Living Arms]!" – the demon summoned two giant arms from the magic circle right next to the demon that acted like an shield and blocked both of the bolts with their giant palms, before then becoming fist and swinging towards Oron who turned invisible as the two giant fist came flying, hitting and demolish an huge part of the underground wall.

"…."

"!"

"There!" – demon fired multiple rocket fingers towards the invisible Oron, blowing him out of the invisibility, but not taking him down as he opened an rapid fire, firing countless crossbow bolts with ended up forcing the demon to fire barrage of the demonic bullets to try and counter the crossbow bolts.

However, some of the crossbow bolts were strong enough to break through and fly towards the emperor.

With little to no choice left, the demon quickly leaped in front of the emperor and used his body and take an hit for the emperor.

But it wasn't the end as Oron unleashed even more crossbow bolts towards the demon and the emperor, forcing the demon to this time deploy an demonic barrier that managed to block the attacks in time.

However, when the demon was focused on protecting the emperor, an giant bolt flew past the demon and straight towards the dragon, hitting it right in the neck and causing it to scream.

"Tch."

"Not enough." – said Oron as he realized that his attack wasn't enough to finish off the dragon and was preparing to fire another attack.

"!"

"No you don't! [Grenade Finger]!" – the demon fired an red finger rocket towards Oron that exploded once it got near him, creating an large scale explosion that shaken up the entire underground.

"?!"

"Are you mad?! If you destroy this place then ritual will end up destroyed!" – said angry emperor.

"Well, I'M TRYING TO GET RID OF THE BASTARD THAT IS TRYING TO MURDER YOU!" – shouted angry demon.

"!" – the demon noticed the incoming attacks and fired [Demon Bomb], blowing up [Fire Ball Barrage] that was fired at it.

After having its barrage countered, Oron began unleashing poison spells left and right, [Poison Smoke], [Poison Mist], [Poison Bomb], [Acid Bomb], [Agony Touch], pretty much any AOE poison type attacks.

*Cough* *Cough*

"Shit…." – said the mage as he had trouble breathing.

"!"

"YOU BASTARD!" – shouted the demon as he unleashed an barrage of the demonic sphere that bombarded the area around Oron as he ran away while continue using his poison magic as well as cursed poison to fill the area with poison.

"Tch!" – the demon deployed an barrier around the emperor, protecting him from the surrounding poison.

(That guy is trying to destroy this entire place by filling it with poison!) – though the demon while looking around and noticing the mages being afflicted with the poison, with some of the mages getting on their knees.

(This isn't some normal poison either. Its also some sort of acid and curse…. I can also sense dragon mana?!)

(This isn't good.)

"!"

Demon began sprouting columns of fingers around, blocking the shots that were fired towards the dragon, before moments later causing the columns to split apart and transform into finger rockets that flew towards Oron who continues running around and using the mages as meat shields, making them take hit for him.

"!"

"We need those guys!" – shouted emperor.

"Its not my fault that the humans are so fragile!" – shouted the angry demon.

"I'M PRETTY SURE THOSE WOULD EVEN KILL DEMONS AS WELL!" – shouted pissed off emperor as the more of the dragon body melted to the point dragon could no longer even scream.

The mages began getting taken down left and right either by the poison or the friendly fire, causing many of the mages to get killed, with resulted in the giant magic circle getting weakened.

"!"

(The circle is weakening!) - though Oron as he ran around, trying to hit the dragon and the emperor with his bolts, but being blocked by the demon barriers and manifested hands.

(So, killing the mages won't stop the process… However, it will slow it down? Good to know.) – though Oron before then opening his fire at the mages, killing few of them with well-aimed headshots.

"!"

"BASTARD!" – shouted the demon as he unleashed [Arch Demon Rising], firing countless demonic arrows into the air that then flew towards Oron, bombarding the entire around him.

"You know, firing this many times and that many projectiles while keep missing most of them is quiet an talent mate!" – said Oron while flipping off the demon.

"!"

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER! I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ON THE PIKE!" – shouted completely pissed off demon.

"[Fingers And Hands]!" – the demon stabbed the ground with its finger tentacles, alarming Oron who moments later has his path blocked by the disformed hand that sprouted from the ground made out of finger tentacles, before then rushing towards Oron, almost catching him, but not in time as Oron managed to leap into the air, dodging the attack.

However, Oron did not noticed in time as right next to him from the wall the second disfigured hand appeared and grabbed him.

"DIE!" – shouted the demon as the giant disfigured hand began wrapping itself completely around Oron like an spider net before then crushing Oron to his death.

"Heh."

"?"

"?!"

(Wait! This isn't' blood! Sand?!) – through the demon as he realized that the thing leaking out of the hand wasn't Oron blood.

"!"

The demon looked upwards and saw Oron before moments later seeing an crossbow bolt right in front of its face.

"…"

(Mother-)

The powerful enchanted bolt hit right between the demon horn eyes, causing an massive amount of damage as an explosion occurred caused by the bolt upon impact.

Upon landing the shot, Oron quickly reloaded his crossbow while falling down, before then reaching the ground and firing the next crossbow bolt, this time aimed towards the emperor.

(GOT YOU THIS TIME!)

The bolt flew towards the emperor, flying past the demon and towards the bubble barrier, hitting it and shattering it, alarming the emperor who swinged around its arm, causing his prosthetic hand to open up and shot creating an barrier sphere that blocked and redirected the Oron bolt, while also destroying good part of prosthetic hand.

"?!"

"WHAT?!" – shouted Oron in disbelieve.

"YOU HAVE NO FUKING IDEA HOW MANY TIMES MY SIBLINGS HAD SEND ASSASINS AFTER ME! YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" – shouted the emperor.

"Tch!"

Oron aimed with his crossbow again and prepared to fire, but before he could, an horde of eyes surrounded him.

"?!"

"[Gorgons Love]." – the eyes on the demon staff began glowing as well as the eyes surrounding Oron.

Moment later, Oron found himself inside the magic circle with had caused his entire to froze in place.

"?!"

(W-what the hell?!) – though Oron as he tried moving, but with no avail.

"!"

(Wait… Petrification?!) – though Oron as he saw his toes getting turned to stone.

"Dammit! Hurry it up!" – said the demon as he took out the bolt from his forehead.

"I'm fuking trying!" – replied the emperor as the ritual had already melted most of the dragon body, leaving behind barely anything left.

"!"

(FUCK! THE RITUAL WILL GET SOON COMPLETED!) – though Oron as he realized the danger.

"[Unholy Armor] [Dragon Armor] [Demonic Shell]!" – Oron began using skills left and right, slowly gaining bit by bit an ability to move.

"!"

(He is resisting?!) – though surprised demon.

(Damn! This isn't good! I can't use any other abilities while I'm using the staff power!)

(FUCK! I DON'T HAVE ANY BIG STRONG ANY DEBUFF RESISTANCE SKILLS!) – though panicking Oron.

(Common! Common! Break already!)

The demon struggle to keep Oron sealed while Oron himself tried his best to remove the seal holding him in place.

However, while all of that was happening, the body of the dragon had almost been completely consumed by the seal…..And before long, the entire body had been consumed, fused with the blood of the priest and paladins, causing an mutation and explosion of the demonic energy to erupt, causing an giant demonic gate to start forming.

"…."

"Heh…. We won." – said the emperor.
