Chapter 57: Spirit of the Skull Knuckles
The demons were startled by my sudden appearance. They have already known that there was a magician in the area but the only thing they know is that they retreated. They thought that the school is once again defenseless because we fled but they were wrong. The blast when I appeared caused the demons to back away in fear of getting caught.
"Hey Blue, can I stream something for the chat group? Although there is an interference with electronics, the phone seems fine. Can I do it?" I asked.
"Stream? Oh, you want to video your exploits? I think it's fine, as long as the video goes directly to the chat group instead of social media."
"Then please activate the stream, I will be hitting some skulls, it's good to catch my exploits in camera."
"Damn, I am not SIRI or any kind of virtual assistant okay?! I am great-"
"Yeah, yeah, just hurry up."
"...Fine"
As soon as Blue said that, my phone appeared in my breast pocket and the camera activated.
"Let's get started."
I punched my fists together and flames ignited on my fists. Then, the warm feeling in my body resurfaced once more allowing me to feel the rush in my body. I feel active once more...
"Hey, little sh*ts, want to take a brawl with me? I am available right now and anyone who can defeat me can eat all they want inside this campus, what do you say?"
"What the f*ck are you saying, are you trying to get yourself killed? You won't earn money by streaming in the chat so don't bother doing it too hard!" Blue said.
"Just watch..." I said.
The demons grinned. "Then don't mind us if we attack!" they started to attack together without any restraint.
"Foolish bastards..." I grinned and activated Light Blast in close range.
The light started to appear on my hands, blinding and damaging all dark type demons out without any restraint. They are immediately damaged to the extent of dying when they are in the area of the light.
Light Blast is a well known light magic I just learned together with the Water Torrent. Although it is just releasing a ball of light, the power it gives off is big. Any enemy that has the affinity of darkness will get damaged to a certain extent by it. Even if they just get to touch a single ray of light, they will get damaged by it. As for the enemies who are not going to be affected by it, they are temporarily blinded by the magic skill.
Since the demons attacking are all mixed with flames and darkness types, and they are attacking me at the same time, I decided that this will be the best time to deploy the pain to their arse directly.
"Ahhh!" the demons started screaming while those who are not with the affinity of darkness grab their eyes because they are blinded by the light.
The caster of the magic will not be affected by the effect. But your friends and allies will be affected if they are hit by it so it is better to use it whenever you are fighting alone rather than in a group fight. This flashy skill will make your allies be pissed at you.
As soon as the demons started struggling to see, I activated the Skull Knuckles and started to bash their jaws one by one with hard blows. Most of them are still not able to recover from the light so I didn't bother with the others.
The bad thing though is that not all of them strikes at the same time, some of the demons who are skeptical did not get caught from the light so they are still alright. Due to that, they quickly attacked me to save their kin who are being killed by me from breaking their jaws.
"You are just one kid! You think we demons are just pushovers?!" one of the demons shouted.
"No idea. I don't see demons so often so I am not an expert. All I know is that you lot bring sh*t to us so all of you needed to die," I answered before dashing and grabbing his neck and gripping it to choke him.
The demon quickly toughens his neck to avoid being choked but who said I will choke him? I raised my free hand and repeatedly hit his jaw and face in succession. Due to the blows that are enhanced further by the Skull Knuckle's hard surface, the damage is much bigger.
CRACK!
One of the punches I released caused the demon to release green blood out of his nostrils and mouth. Looks like I managed to hit him fatally, and it caused a hemorrhage. The demon is now starting to crumble to dust which means it is dying. I didn't waste holding the dead guy over and throws him to the bunch of demons that are still struggling to recover their eyesight.
PENG PENG PENG!
The demons fell down and the body of the demon that I have just thrown disintegrates into dust. The other demons spooked out from the demon who disintegrated but they didn't back down. Looks like these guys really have a death wish.
"You all are going to die!" I shouted as I throw a fireball to the demon who has the affinity of darkness.
"Don't get too cocky! Killing a few of us doesn't change the fact that you will be dying soon!"
As soon as he finishes shouting that, a few demons appeared but they are different than the demons I am fighting. This time, they looked like they really came from the depths of hell as giants. They are even accompanied by some demons who have armors and has bull horns on their heads. I almost back away when all of a sudden, I can feel my hands stop me. No, not my hands, the skull knuckles is keeping me from leaving. Then, the faint voice of a male started speaking inside my head. It was not Blue but another entity.
"EAT... EAT... FLESH...BLOOD...KILL!!"
The urge to do it is really strong and seeing the demons started the bloodlust to well up inside me. Although I can control it, I decided to not stop the feeling. Defeating the demons are the only thing to do here and letting them live is a mistake. When the demons get inside the gate, I stepped towards the gate and kicked the demons who are blocking my way who are just trying to regain their eyesight back.
"Yo, whatever spirit you are residing inside the Skull Knuckles, do you want to taste blood?"
The skull knuckles vibrate. I grinned and looked at the demons.
"Then kill these demons and I will give you blood!"
As soon as I said that, an ominous aura welled up inside me, and flames erupted my body. Mysteriously, flames do not burn me.
"EAT! KILL! EAT!"
