Chapter 128: Protect what I’ve built
Without wasting any time to think, Riven threw ten points into strength, ten into agility, and ten into endurance. He needed those three things if he was going to survive this battle.
With that, he got into a stance, ready to fight. The demonized charged at him. The first one at the front leaped toward him. He drew a deep breath and stepped back while slashing down.
’Twilight is said to be able to cut through anything, so cut through them all.’ Riven roared in his mind. His sword exploded with flames that immediately turned dark blue.
The blade cut through the arm of the first demonized. It screeched in pain, but Riven wasn’t done. He pushed and stabbed through its head, killing it, but before he could pull out his sword, another demonized got to him and slashed.
The claws cut through his uniform, and though he moved back quickly, it still managed to graze his skin, tearing it up. He gritted his teeth and slashed through the arm of the second demonized. It immediately countered with a slash to his head.
He moved his head to the side, but the attack grazed his shoulder and drew blood. The pain made Riven feel like just running away, but he was already committed to this.
He immediately used Flame Blast at point-blank range and blasted the head of the demonized completely off. The explosion pushed some of the demonized back, but it was only for a moment.
He retreated back very quickly, giving some space between them. They rushed toward him again. The hallway made it so that no more than three could get to him at a time, and Riven had to say that was a blessing.
He used Inferno Domain again so that he could buff the strength of the attacks that were going to follow. He started firing Flame Arc after Flame Arc.
