Chapter 53: Demon Invasion Part 2: Welcome to the Blood Fest
The demons were all appearing in a different direction but with Moonlight's swift attacks plus Godou's area attack, it prevents demons from getting past us. Though there would always something that can pass through that, I am the one who deals with the demons that pass through the barrage of attacks that Moonlight and Godou releases which allows me to fully see who are able to escape.
"Kazuma! One just escaped!" Moonlight shouted.
"I'm on it!" I answered before chasing the demon and hurling a fireball to it.
"The demons are getting more and more resilient to our attacks!" Godou shouted as he materializes an Earth Wall to stall the enemies temporarily.
"The students are also getting curious and looking at us right now!" I shouted as I saw in the glimpse the crowd forming in front of the building just to look at our battle. They might think it is fascinating since it looks like it came out from a movie.
There are also people trying to approach Irina and my familiars but due to the hostility of Yuri and Yuto doing their jobs, it turned out splendidly since Yuto activates his power that releases a shockwave to push people away. Of course, many otakus tried and tried. They stopped when Yuri released her power and makes a stake pop out from the ground whenever they are near, giving a warning that once they step in, they will die.
Many tried to use a phone and capture a video on us but since there was a device interference that stops us from using any devices related to videos, the phones and cameras were all deemed useless. I can hear them complaining that their phones were acting wonky and broken whenever they try to use cameras or whenever they tried to connect to the internet and that was a good thing for us magicians. After making sure that everything is fine, we focused on the battle and it is very hard for us to continue defending without the interference of people who wanted to get a clearer look at the battle.
"F*cking crowd, they are too annoying, why do they bother watching us if they can be in danger just by watching?" Moonlight cursed.
"It can't be helped, we are doing some flashy movements that can only be seen in movies. They are a curious bunch," Godou said as he bashed one demon to the head using his fist.
"More incoming!" I said as I release a Light Blast to the demon with the affinity of the darkness. Moonlight and Godou were a bit stunned when I used the light magic but they didn't ask as the demons keep on appearing here and there. I think they will ask me later once the battle is done.
"Hey, Godou! Use the Earthquake right now so that I can charge up my magic on my blade in time! Stall them as long as you can!" Moonlight shouted.
"Alright!" he nodded and punched the ground repeatedly while chanting loudly.
"THE EARTH WILL NURTURE THE WORLD, MAKE THE EARTH ANGRY AND UNLEASH THE ANGER AND ANGUISH THAT THE WORLD IS HOLDING! TERRA SHAKER!"
All of a sudden, the ground started to shake the demons were shaken by the tremors causing them to stumble and fall to the ground. Meanwhile, Moonlight already managed to change her bamboo sword into a katana, she raised it in the air while holding the hilt of it as she channels her mana and chants another magic that I have not seen before and closed her eyes as she chants it with a loud voice.
"BLESS ME O GOD OF WAR. ENHANCE THE BLADE OF MY WEAPON AND USE MY POWER TO SMITE ALL THE EVIL BEINGS IN THE WORLD! DESTROY THE ROOT CAUSE AND CUT ITS CONNECTIONS TO THE WORLD! BLADE OF WAR!"
When she was done, the katana in her hands glow bright red and flames started to appear on the blade as it blazes on the blade too hard. The heat of the flames in her katana is so hot that I can feel it too even though I am a few meters away from her. She took a step and the ground that she put her foot on caved in and the air around seemed to get sucked into her sword. The demons even shook when Moonlight is getting near them.
"Vile demons, begone!"
She brought down her katana to the demons who were down on the ground and in one fell swoop, their remains disappeared as they turned into ashes. Godou quickly approached me and pushed me to Moonlight.
"Go catch her! She can't move for a while after using that magic!"
"What about you?!"
"I need to ensure that the demons won't attack her as you catch her! It'll be troublesome if any of you two will be defeated!"
Moonlight indeed stumbled and knelt on the ground after the attack so before she fell to the ground, I immediately catch her and retreated to Irina's side. Moonlight fell unconscious after using the skill. It looks like it took a lot of toll on her.
"Yuri, Yuto, please guard her as well. Irina, can you look after her while we are dealing with the enemies for now? We will back after that."
"Yes, master!" The two said as they try their best to block anyone to pass through them.
"I will do my best!" Irina said as she helped me put down Moonlight. Yuto snaps his fingers and a futon with anime prints appeared. I was perplexed when I saw the futon so I looked up to him.
"Use that for her at the moment. But master, please wash that after, it was my favorite futon so I hope it won't be too dirty after this," Yuto fidgets.
I sighed and nodded. "Alright. Now please guard her in the meantime. Watch your brother Yuri, he might do something weird."
"I'm on it, master! I will beat up this guy if he ever did something lewd!"
"What the hell master?! I am a responsible and proud devil. I may be an incubus but I prefer 2D girls over 3D girls! Do you get my gist right, master? Master, wait!" Yuto shouted but I disregarded him for now and returned to the side of Godou who is making a wall to block the remaining demon's advance.
"How is Akari holding up?" Godou asked as he maintained the wall that is stopping the demons temporarily.
"She is fine. How are you holding up? Need some help?"
"Yes indeed, I really need a friggin help. I am running out of mana soon, can you please defeat the demons as many as you can? You have not unleashed too much magic earlier so I guess you still have enough mana in your body. I will hold this wall for a few more minutes, but I want you to defeat the enemies as many as you can defeat."
"No worries, I can do it," I said and pulled out the Skull Knuckles out of the bag and equipped them.
"Ah..." Godou was about to say something but I didn't bother to listen to what he was about to say and cross the wall.
There are a few demons here and all of them are badly looking. Unlike the usual demons that I encountered before, these demons seem to lack the ability to speak. Maybe because they are just grunts? They also looked weaker upon closer look. The Skull Knuckles vibrates in my hands and I can feel that it is getting excited in facing the demons.
"Are you getting excited in battle?"
Seemingly answering my question, the Skull Knuckles vibrated once more and it seems to be more attached to my hands and a warm feeling started flowing inside my body. I grinned and felt my bloodlust build up inside me and the indescribable feeling of wanting to punch a demon repeatedly appeared inside my mind. Without waiting for the demons to attack me, I rushed towards the demons and sneak close to one of them and whispered to that particular demon.
"Welcome to Blood Fest. I hope you will have a good time here... hehe..." before I started breaking the head of the demon via severe beating. The demon did not get to retaliate as his head was bashed pitifully that you can't recognize if it was a normal head or just a pile of meat attached to a body. The Skull Knuckles were brutal indeed.
After dropping the dead body of the demon, I looked into the rest of the demons and grinned. "Who is next in line?"
