Chapter 196 - Demon King Pt 2

[Corrupted Demon king (Soul Possessed State) – LVL 100 (Suppressed)]

HP: 150,000,000/???

MP: 100,000,000/???

Looking at the demon king's suppressed stats, Shiro turned to the other guardians and nodded her head.

*BOOM!!!!!

Golden aura exploded out of all the members as they were going to finish this fight as quick as possible.

Lisandra also coated her body in a holy aura as she charged towards the demon king. Her killing intent burst forwards, shocking the party since they didn't think someone like Lisandra could be this scary.

As for Shiro, she was the lowest level here so she could only activate the generation two battle maiden and shoot the demon king from afar.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

A single swipe of his hands was all he needed to do in order for him to destroy the bullets.

"Tsk, damn." Shiro clicked her tongue in annoyance.

However, before the demon king could target her, he had to quickly erect a barrier to protect himself from five different attacks.

"Urg." Groaning slightly, the demon king slammed his hand down onto the ground.

*BOOM!!!!

A giant magic circle exploded out from under him.

"Watch out! It's a tier 4 spell!" Shiro warned.

Jumping up, she aimed her weapons and loaded them with mana disruption bullets.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG!

However, the demon king merely glanced at her before scoffing lightly.

*BOOM!!!!

A burst of mana erupted out from him as it pushed everyone back including the bullets.

Raising his hand, the demon king clenched his fist and activated his spell.

*CRACK!

Widening her eyes in horror, Shiro watched as the void fissures started to appear everywhere in the room.

"Corrupted Maelstrom." The demon king said coldly.

"COME NEAR ME!!!" One of the tankers shouted out.

Slamming his shield into the ground, his MP started to empty out at a visible rate.

"Sanctuary!"

*DONG!!!!

A giant illusionary castle covered the party.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!

Watching the wind crash against the castle, the party felt sweat drip down their face. Under the constant bombardment of the Corrupted Maelstrom, they could see cracks forming everywhere on the castle.

"Back me up!"

"Got it!"

"Understood!"

Standing next to the first tanker, the other two slammed their shields down and activated their best defence skills.

While the three tankers were trying their best in fending off against the attack, the rest of the party weren't idle either.

While the healer activated her buff, Yin also did the same and used Dark Star Empowerment. Feeling their increase in strength, the party looked at each other and nodded their heads.

"The longer we take, the harder this fight will be. Use everything you have!" Kali shouted out.

Tensing up his body, a ball of fire exploded around him as his elemental armour appeared. Following his lead, the rest of the party also activated their elemental armour including Lisandra and Yin.

Lisandra's armour made her look like a warrior angel that was sent down to judge all sinners. The armour itself was coloured white with golden highlights around the edges. Not only that, she also had a red dress under that armour. The front and back of the dress extended to her knees while the sides were separated so that it wouldn't affect her movement.

As for Yin, her elemental armour was mostly cloth rather than armour. She wore full black gothic lolita dress that had black frilled along with black semi-transparent silk. Her black wings made her look like a fallen angel, the complete opposite of Lisandra.

However, they weren't done.

"Golden Dragon Berserker!" Old Tar shouted out as scales started to appear on his body.

Violent aura's burst out of the party members as they each used their best berserk skills.

Unfortunately, neither Yin nor Lisandra owned a berserk skill so they could only fight with their elemental armour.

Shiro wanted to do the same but she needed to be careful. She had three strong berserk skills that would help but their backlash was just as strong.

5th Phantom, Soul Sword and Ataraxia.

The 5th phantom was arguable since she couldn't fully control it.

But berserk skills weren't her only option. She also had the choice to use her power boost items, Calamity Dragon Scale and the Silver Dagger, to boost her power into the realm of C class.

'Hmm…. Even if I stack everything I have together, I'm not sure I can defeat the demon king alone without the use of my power boost items. But if I don't use it, I don't think I can get 30% contribution…' Shiro thought with a frown.

In the end, she decided to only use her true elemental armour for now. Depending on how the situation develops, she'll use her other skills.

Closing her eyes, she focused her mind.

*Boom!!!

A giant snowflake expanded out from her foot as Ice crystals formed around her.

Snapping her fingers, they shattered into hundreds of shards that surged towards her body, wrapping her up into a giant ice block before cracking apart to reveal Shiro in her Eternal Ice Armour.

"Fuu…." Breathing out a cloud of cold mist, Shiro opened her eyes.

Her new appearance with her Eternal Ice Armour caused a few of the guardians to look at her with shock in their eyes. However, they quickly recovered since they needed to focus on the demon king.

Stomping on the ground, Shiro launched herself towards the demon king.

She flexed her fingers and summoned Ataraxia along with her weapon that came with the Eternal ice armour.

"Mn, so it's a pair of crystal boots and a rapier?" She raised an eyebrow.

However, she ignored it and stabbed towards the demon king.

Activating her sword skill, refraction, her rapier split into several copies, confusing the demon king.

Furrowing his brows, he flicked his finger upwards as the gravity suddenly shifted.

Surprised at the sudden change in gravity, Shiro twisted her body and kicked towards the demon king's head.

*BANG!!!!

He grabbed her foot with ease as she frowned.

Sensing the party dashing towards the demon king, she focused her killing intent on him, rooting him in place for a short moment. Using this gap to slip into the rift, Shiro retreated from the area.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!

The party bombarded the demon king with their strongest skills as he started to struggle.

Compared to his previously large 150million HP, he only had 100million left and it was decreasing quickly.

"URAHHH!!!!" Shouting out in rage, the demon king clenched his fist and punched towards the closest tanker.

*PUCHI!!!!!!

Widening his eyes in shock, the tanker watched as the fist penetrate the shield with ease and through his body.

Pulling his fist out, a four-layered magic circle appeared around his fist as the tanker was soon reduced to ash.

"Griston!!" Kali shouted out in rage.

Gritting his teeth, he stabbed his sword through his hand before pulling it out. Grabbing the blood that flowed out from his hand, he formed a second sword and dashed towards the demon king.

"Blood Arts! Sacrificial Power!"

*BOOM!!!!!!!!!

His slash lacerated deeply into the demon king but failed to completely cut him in half.

However, what happened next shocked him the most.

Sticking his hand into his sword wound, the demon king created an exact replica of Kali's blood sword.

Before Kali could even shout, he was cleaved in half by the very same skill.

"Sera! Revive them!" One of the remaining tankers shouted out as he slammed his shield into the demon king's back.

"Divine Resurrection!" Sera shouted out as she slammed her staff into the ground. A golden light appeared around Kali and Griston as their body's twitched for a moment before standing up straight.

"Tsk, be careful. It seems like he can replicate any skills that he's been wounded by." Kali frowned while quickly downing a potion to recover the rest of his health.

Sera looked a little pale after resurrecting the two of them as she quickly retreated away from the front lines.

As the demon king focused on the main attackers, Lisandra and Yin jumped into the rift.

Appearing behind the demon king, Lisandra's sword was basked in a holy glow while a deadly orb of Dark Star element was in Yin's hand.

*CLANG!!! BOOM!!!!

Unfortunately, the demon king managed to block both their attacks and grabbed them by the wrist.

"LISA! YIN!" Shiro shouted out as she had a giant rail cannon in her hands.

Pulling the trigger, she fired towards the demon king in order to force him to let go of them both.

*BANG!

Slamming both Yin and Lisandra into the ground, the demon king punched towards the bullet and shattered it easily.

Just as he was about to finish Yin and Lisandra off, several party members slammed their weapons into him and sent him crashing against the walls.

Meanwhile, Shiro ran over and pulled both Yin and Lisandra away from the fight.

Two sparks of life fire flared up on her fingertips as she quickly healed both of them.

"You two alright?" Shiro asked with concern.

"Yeah, just surprised at his reaction speed that's all." Lisandra nodded as she rubbed her head in pain.

Before she could ask another question, she felt a horrific aura diffuse into the surroundings as dark mist could be seen creeping towards him.

"RUN! It's a party wipe skill!!!" Shiro shouted out with a frown. If the party members die now, she doubted that Sera would be able to revive them.

Looking at Yin, they nodded to each other before dashing into the rift.

Appearing near the party members, they dragged in as many as they could.

However, the demon king only scoffed before swiping with his hand.

"GAH!"

Both Shiro and Yin were forced out of the rift as their body was sent crashing backwards.

Coughing up a mouthing of blood, Shiro frowned when she felt several bones in her body shattered due to a single attack.

'F*ck!' Shiro cursed in her mind as she healed herself with her life fire. Stabilizing herself, she watched as the black mist wrap around the party members and drain them of their blood and flesh.

Widening her eyes in shock, she realized that there were only 6 members of their party left.

Her, Yin, Lisandra, Sera, the king and Old Tar.

Both the king and old tar was heavily injured due to the fact that they were just within the range of the party wipe skill. As for Sera, she was still recovering from her injuries.

"Tsk! You're really forcing this princess to go all out huh." Shiro frowned.

Looking at the demon king's HP, she saw that he still had 70million points left.

"It's doable." She muttered, narrowing her eyes at the demon king.

*BOOM!!!

Generation 1 Divine Warrior armour wrapped around her as she placed her hand over the centre of her chest.

"Soul Sword!" She commanded.

A radiant aura burst out of her body before it was quickly corroded away by black tendrils. Following which, a demonic aura burst out of her as Lisandra widened her eyes in shock since she was sensitive towards evil aura.

Shiro felt a handle touch her palm as she grabbed it without hesitation and pulled out her soul sword.

*BANG!

The floor tiles cracked apart from the force of which she pulled out her sword.

Glancing downwards, she was surprised at what she saw.

A pure black blade that was decorated with blood red runes. There was no guard as the blade and handle were connected as one. In addition to this, black tendrils wrapped around the handle as grips while they crept up on her hand.

Even Shiro felt a little chilled when she saw it sliver up her arm like a snake.

[Demonic Soul Sword (Shiro)]

A manifestation of Shiro's soul. A sword that will consume and destroy everything that stands against it.

One slice against the skin will inject a lethal poison through their systems while their soul is slowly corrupted.

Once it strikes the heart, it will consume the enemy's soul, forcing them away from the path of reincarnation while trapping them within the sword for eternity.

Can burn the souls that the sword had consumed to empower your next attack.

Slice it on yourself, and all of your positive emotions will be locked away. Leaving the perfect killing machine behind for a short while in order to eradicate your enemies.

'This is my soul?' She questioned herself in disbelief.

However, she quickly recovered since this is no time to stay idle.

Flicking up Ataraxia, Shiro bit her thumb before catching her sword once more.

Pressing her bloodied thumb against the guard, she watched as the dark red runes light up.

Sword Skill – Ataraxia!

Colour drained from her vision, forcing her into a monochromatic world that was filled with red dots to show weak spots.

Crouching down slightly, she activated Phantom path along with Asura Sword path and disappeared from her spot.

*CLANG!!!!

Flicking back into view behind the demon king, her sword slammed against his armour.

Widening his eyes in surprise, he wondered why his body felt sluggish.

Naturally, that was due to one of the effects of Ataraxia.

Enemies within your area of control are affected with -30% Speed, -20% DEF, -10% Reaction and a small chance to lose focus for a short moment of time, exposing their weak points!

"You're mine." Shiro grinned coldly.
