Chapter 191 Demon Sword’s Real Power
Elysia, now a giant fox, growled while staring at the root holding Shaman. Elysia vanished on the spot appearing next to the root in a blink of an eye. Swiping with her claws she instantly destroyed the root and the part that held Shaman was burnt away.
Although Elysia had lost most rational thinking, her goal to save Shaman was still present. So as Shaman fell to the ground Elysia quickly went underneath to catch her.
Catching Shaman on her back, she quickly dashed away and softly put the unconscious Shaman on the ground. The dark elf was aggravated and sent roots directly at Elysia in an attempt to pierce her.
However, this was futile as Elysia breathed out flames that instantly burnt up the roots that came at her.
While Elysia was dealing with the elf, Kiruya quickly found Silver and Clara who were hidden far away from the fight. After they saw Elysia transform they quickly retreated and were now watching the fight.
Elysia, now ready to attack, smacked the ground with her paws. Fire arose around her creating a fox head out flames. Charging towards the elf at a great speed, the fox head descended upon the elf, who paled at the sight of the oncoming attack.
Raising his sword, he blocked Elysia's teeth and erected wooden walls to stop the shooting fox heads. A few moments later, the walls began to crumble forcing the elf to jump back.
Elysia, now in a frenzy, continued charging at the elf not giving him any break, this time coating her mouth in flames.
The elf this time went to parry the attack, but Elysia's strength now greatly outclassed him, making it impossible to completely redirect her momentum. The elf's right arm was bitten clean off and flames burnt his shoulder making it now impossible to regenerate.
Now the elf was getting desperate as Elysia had become its perfect counter, making it clear his death was coming. The fire fox heads were also closely approaching, giving him no avenue to run.
Not having much of a choice, the elf stabbed himself with the demon sword and a burst of purple fog pushed away all the flames. Elysia also jumped back as she sensed danger and wanted to observe before approaching.
"No!" Clara stood up from where she was watching as this was something she read about and was even warned against by her parents.
"What's wrong?" Kiruya felt goosebumps as if Clara was reacting badly to what the elf was doing then it couldn't be good.
"I-I don't know if Elysia can fight what's to come." Clara felt cold sweat go down her face as what the elf did was taboo.
"Clara, what is it!?" Kiruya needed to know as it may be reason enough to call Freja.
"I-It is turning itself into the embodiment of the sword…. The first transformation I assume was the elf's skill that was enhanced by the sword, but now it has offered its body. I don't know which sword he has, but let's say a demon is being born and not a good one at that." Clara's hand shook as she could feel the presence of the demon emerging from the elf.
"W-wait so this larger form was the elf, and only now it's using the sword?!" Kiruya assumed that the new body the elf gained was from the sword as she hadn't seen it before, but it turns out it had nothing to do with the sword.
"I'm afraid so, but seeing how weak it is, I don't think it will be a problem. B-but the presence coming from the sword is that of a very, very old demon." Clara tried to calm down her breathing as she felt something in her head whispering to her.
"Damnit, I should call Freja." Kiruya held the crystal in her hand and felt like things were getting too desperate.
"No wait, it is still too early, plus this new form of Elysia seems to be much stronger." Clara didn't want to waste such a valuable item as Elysia may be able to deal with it.
"Are you sure?" Kiruya wanted 100% confidence as if they delayed the call too much Freja might not be able to save them.
"Y-yes, as I said it should be weak, plus I can say that it is one of the lesser swords since it doesn't have the presence of the old great ones like back at home." Clara realized that it was a much less powerful demon, but would still likely rival many great powers. However, due to entering a weak body, it would not be able to use its full power, especially since the host is so badly damaged.
"I will trust you on this, but as soon as I see Elysia in grave danger I am crushing the crystal." Kiruya wanted to believe Clara as she was the most familiar when it came to demon-related things.
"Yes please be rea- arghh damn it, get out of my head." Clara stopped mid-sentence as the voice was getting louder.
'Kill.'
'Die, die, die.'
'Erase every kind.'
"Clara!" Kiruya and Silver both jumped to her side, catching her before she fell.
"I'm fine, but that demon is trying to make me its minion. As long as Elysia is quick to kill it I should be okay. I can hold out for about an hour." Making a rough guess for how long she can last, she could only hope Elysia would finish quickly.
Sitting back down they watched as the elf's limbs were replaced by this purple metal and its body began to morph to resemble that of a demon.
Slumping over, the elf slowly rose while staring directly at Elysia who was keenly observing her prey.
"It's been so long since I have had a body and it seems like I ended up in a fight." The elf looked around to get its bearings.
"Hmm, I sense another demon nearby with the blood of royalty, but it seems like I have to deal with this pest first." The elf felt Clara's presence but was not able to see her, however Elysia was a much bigger threat.
"From what I recall the Dahlia family was a weak little fox race. It seems like they have grown a bit." Another time, Elysia might have been curious about what the demon knew of her family, but thanks to her being in a rather irrational state, she did not care what the elf had to say.
Elysia didn't want to stand still any longer, so she conjured up fire spears about the size of her and sent them flying straight at the elf.
"A feisty one at that." With one hand the elf deflected the fire spears without an issue.
"Gosh this body is so weak, I almost tore off the arm with just a swing." Needing to adjust to the body he was in, his awkward movements gave Elysia the perfect opportunity to pounce.
Going for another bite while also sending fire bites, she surrounded the elf in fire, once again trying to make it impossible for the elf to escape.
"Not bad, you have the flames of the vampires, too bad I won't be getting hit." The elf spun on his feet slashing in a circle and hitting all the mouths made out of the flames. Leaving a trail of purple fog, the flames were instantly dispelled leaving Elysia wide open.
Raising his sword the elf let Elysia get closer to make it easier for him to hit.
"Sorry little thing, but your time has come." Mumbled the demon while slashing down straight for Elysia's head.
As his sword was about to reach Elysia's head, the elf's attack was blocked causing the sound of metal to ring out across the dungeon.
"Oh? Another fox?" The elf was shocked to see his attack was stopped by Shaman who seemingly recovered from her mana deprivation. What had happened though was that Shaman used a mana potion Freja had given everyone.
"Stay away from Eli!" Shaman's hair changed to blue as she put as much mana into her ice as she could and tried to encase the elf.
"Interesting." The elf jumped back avoiding the glacier Shaman created right where he was standing.
Elysia, who was behind Shaman, did not attack her. Even though she was reduced to the primal state of a beast, she still knew Shaman was an alley.
"Thank you Eli for saving me." Shaman, now having a brief moment, went up to the massive fox and patted her head. A small purr came from her, but knowing the threat that was just behind the glacier, they needed to concentrate.
"Do you mind if I ride you?" Shaman planned to use Elysia as a sort of mount and in response, she lowered her body to let Shaman on.
"I see, I can't say I recognise your race." The elf floated in the air over the glacier looking directly at Shaman.
"And who are you? Clearly not the elf from before" Shaman glared back at the elf as she got on top of Elysia.
"You are correct, although my name cannot be pronounced by the human tongue, however I shall say it anyway." Taking a brief moment to pause before speaking, Shaman prepared her next attack.
"S̸̤̠͖͉̫̖̃̏̓͆ļ̶̧̱͎̋̈̓̈̽̕͠ȧ̶̘̳̇̅̉̈́͐͊͘n̶̨͂̅̇̍̑̈́̎͒ů̴̢̠͔͂͐̍͜͜h̶̺̥̗̃̄͋͝ͅ"
