Chapter 98: Defeating the demonized
Riven was without a weapon, and the demonized was already headed for him. It leaped at him and went for a slash. He spotted an opening underneath it and moved.
He jumped and rolled under, dodging the attack just barely. He got up behind the demonized and started running toward his sword.
It turned and chased after Riven, gaining on him very quickly. Noel saw that Riven wouldn’t make it to his sword in time, so he ran toward the sword. He pulled it out and threw it.
Riven caught the sword and turned with a slash. The blade dug into its face, leaving a very deep scar. It let out a painful roar, thrashing its head around.
Noel charged in as well. He took the opportunity and went for an attack to the back of its legs. His sword cut through the tendon, and the demonized went crashing to the ground.
The both of them saw this as their chance to finish it off, but as they charged in, its eyes glowed deep red. It leaped up to its feet and immediately started thrashing around.
The both of them got hit by its hands. They were thrown back with so much force they slammed into the barrier. The demonized had gone berserk as a final resort.
Riven and Noel got on their feet as fast as they could. The demonized immediately locked on Noel and chased after him. Riven came running to flank the demonized.
His entire body screamed in pain—his muscles, his bones—everything yelled at him to stop, but he had to keep pushing.
