Astaroth The Sexiest Demon Arc: Chapter_015 (Intense Battle of Asta and Elite Demon Knight, Part II)
....
"Elan, where do you want to go?"
After the invisible pressure disappears, such a heavy burden is lifted away. Elan finally sigh in relief. Although he was not afraid of the slightest, but still, getting such pressure made him feel uncomfortable.
Elan was ready to pursue Agus, when he heard Danu ask him.
He just turned toward Danu and said, "Kirana and Mawar, they are in danger, that damn Agus brings Kirana and forces Mawar to follow her. Their lives may be in danger right now. You and others must hurry and... " he stopped as he saw something missing from his gaze.
As he was about to finish his sentence.
Elan once again remembers someone, 'that girl isn't here! Where is she going?' he searched around, unfortunately he found only traces where Rini was sprawled before. There is only a trace of Rini who is trying to stand and walk, the longer he follow her footsteps become lighter and seems to disappear along the way.
'This girl, even in her condition, she is still chasing her master.'
"What is wrong with you? Suddenly turned silent," said Danu who feels weird as Elan looking back and forth then paused with a frown in his eyebrows.
Elan shows a serious face when he says, "Remember! Whatever happens, never get into the Inner Circle even if you are with a Senior with a power level above Level 4!"
"What do you mean?" Danu can not really guess what really happened to Elan.
However Danu begged, Elan gave no more explanation. That's because even he himself didn't really know the situation that will occur in the near future. However, he could feel his heartbeat beating fast for no reason, making him uncomfortable. It was the feeling that made him think that something would endanger his life.
Not to mention, the figure in his dream, the situation seems to run as he says.
"Nothing, I just feel something dangerous is coming..." Elan paused as if looking for the right word to express it.
"Something like 'misfortune', 'despair' and 'darkness'," he looked up at Danu and the others, "get away from this area..."
"But..."
Elan smiled and said, "Leave the rest to me, believe me!"
After saying that, Elan went straight to the Inner Circle where Agus went.
Danu, Dina and those who were silent because of his words, finally yelled calling to stop him for a moment. On the other hand, Elan pretended not to hear them. He did not even look at a bit, just speed up the speed and soon disappear from their sight.
_________
Far near towards Core Circles.
The battle between Asta and Helial moved further and further into the inner side of the Chyrma Forest.
Currently, Asta is still surprised by the changes and the power of Helial.
Asta could barely defend herself from her attacks.
Helial strength increases several times after a Blood Awakening. With the increase so far, it has enabled him to land many attacks on Asta. Although Asta can still avoid fatal wounds, he can just back away and run away from the monsters behind her.
Back to few hours ago.
Asta can feel the great pressure coming from Helial direction.
While the vortex of Aura continues to thicken. The shadow of Helial's body can still be seen from Asta's direction. She could saw the transformation of the Blood Awakening.
Helial body continues to grow visible as high as four meters before stopping. The tail began to grow from behind. The scales of his body became more visible, hardened and sharped. Both his legs and hands turned into finned claws. However, his horns seemed unchanged while his previously pale but handsome face became more like a lizard monster. His body became more down forward.
Slowly the aura is sucked into its scales.
Standing figure of a humanoid Lizard standing in front of Asta. No, he is more frightening than simple designations like 'human lizards'. When it should be mentioned then, more appropriately call it a monstrous lizards.
Although physically scaly with claws and tail. Helial stood like a human, stature not much different from a giant human.
'Dragon?'
Before her Asta think so but soon eliminate it.
'No single devil has an ancestor whose form that resembles with a dragon in a legend. Even if there is, Belial will not be one of them, let alone this snotty brat.'
The monster-like figure makes you look very scary. Adding a malignant aura that comes out of his body, Helial can be said to have fully become a monster even among the Demon race.
Initially the difference between the two is very large when only seen from their strength level, but Asta managed to reduce the gap with the experience embedded in her body. Coupled with the body that is above the Ancestor Realm, the gap of their power difference is almost lost. Thanks to that Asta managed to avoid any Helial attacks.
But, this time, Helial power increased several fold. The gap between their strengths is getting clearer. Even for Asta who is very experienced in terms of combat, she currently only has the power of Mid-step Level 4, Senior Wizards. She didn't have much energy to avoid all the Helial attacks before, let alone now, Helial whose power was two-threefold up.
It is impossible for Asta not to panic in this regard.
In addition to her strong desire to protect the City of hope 'that Man', let alone that makes Asta insist on fighting Helial even though their power difference is quite clear.
Asta did not want to repeat the mistakes of her past, make 'that Man' disappear, at least that's what the other General Pillars say.
So what Asta can do right now is just... ran, stalling until the reinforcements of the Old Gramps who lived in the tower came to realize the strangeness that had occurred in the Chyrma Forest.
Unfortunately, although Asta's movements were light and fast, she could not shake Helial's pursuit. Even had to accept attacks many times. She also had to take pains to avoid her vital organs from being attacked. Using various means to make Helial pursuit obstructed such as, pointing it toward a swamp, tearing down a hill wall, smashing the fallen trees at him. Whatever she did to reduce the Helial combat power when chasing her.
In addition, Asta still have to keep Helial keep chasing it away from the area of the students who are still in the Forest. For some reason, Asta felt very worried about Elan's situation. The person that she should hate for ignoring her charms over and over again, it worries her.
Especially after feeling the Aura that Elan issued in previous accidents and the sharp eyes he showed when arguing with Kirana.
It only makes her more attracted with Elan, not the other way around. He always feels that, Elan is very similar to 'that Man'. Even from their name alone is very similar.
"Who exactly, that unruly brat?" Murmured Asta, who was running toward the Core Circle.
A horrible raspy voice threw her thoughts.
"Haha~ you want to run from me this? Let's see how long you can escape this attack of This One..."
Helial screamed hysterically with excitement. He already thinks victory is in front of his eyes when he was still chasing Asta long enough. He does not even care about the reasons why he uses Blood Awakening.
It seems like his Blood Awakening is completely fake, not just turning his body into a monster and even carrying side effects that can change his nature just as badly as his present form.
"Say it after a snotty brat like you got me..."
Asta said just like that just to keep him in her path. Because if this monster is left, in accordance with its natural nature as a monster, Helial will attack everything in front of it. By provoking it, at least Asta can distract Helial, remain on her.
But what the harsh cruel voice said made Asta almost fall from the race.
"I understand what your words and actions mean. But unfortunately... they will all die. Everyone inside the Chyrma Forest will die! You know why? Of course, that's because This One has been preparing the strongest Demons army in this forest for several years already. Haha..."
What Asta heard made her almost fall because she felt her efforts were just a futile act. Why lead Helial away from other students if they still have to deal with the same end. Asta fully understands what Helial is saying, if it were a specially prepared Demon Beasts they would have been very different from the Demon Beasts that generally roam the Chyrma Forest.
It can be said that the Demon Beasts prepared by a Demon within power of Ancestor Realm will not be weaker than the Senior Wizard Level 6 and above.
For new students, a Demon Beast Level 2 and Level 3 have been a formidable challenge for a group of Level 1. What about the Demon Beast Level 6 and up? Of course, impossible to deal with.
'Damn, if only my strength is not sealed!'
'DAMN! DAMNL! DAMN!'
Asta can only grumble in her mind.
Because even if she cried out cursing Helial, it will not change anything that will happen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosion after explosion was heard throughout the escape of Asta.
Helial really did not care about the others, all that remained of him was the killing intentions directed at Asta.
Right, even if he had to chase it down to the middle of Chyrma Mountain, where even Demon in levels of Demon King did not dare to set their feet. It does not matter how long it takes, just to pursue Asta.
Not to mention, he has already unleashed a large number of the Strange Demon Beast.
Even if not, Helial will still pursue Asta to the end of the world, until she is killed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Asta avoided dozens of attacks deftly she ran back toward the Core Circle.
Boom! Boom!
Once again. Helial smashed his attack toward the ground around Asta's footprints.
Helial seemed very happy to play with Asta. His bad mood before because his attacks hardly hit a bit, making him have to use the Blood Awakening. This time, very different.
BANGG !!!
"Ahk!"
Asta's screams can be heard from time to time.
Asta's body is full of blood traces everywhere. Her clothes torned here and there, showing the curves beauty of a young girl. Although Asta looks chaotic, she still looks beautiful and seductive.
This is truly unimaginable pleasure for Helial. Keep in mind because Asta has a body as strong as the Pendekars in Kings Realm even though her strength is only at the Senior Wizards level, almost all previous Helial attacks can not trully hurt her.
Therefore, when Helial heard the screams of pain Asta. He really enjoyed it. Perhaps that scream also made him procrastinate the chance to kill Asta.
Asta continues to emit her Aura. The magical energy in her body continues to diminish with the use of protective magic and recovery magic. Even so she was still trying to keep running.
A woman full of pride and dignity like herself, must escape from the pursuit of a child. You can imagine how much humiliation she should endure.
'Snotty brat... if only... if only...'
Once again, Asta complained about the seal that entrapped her power.
'That's right... what he uses isn't the real 'Blood Awakening'. The power should not last long. Not to mention, a change in the nature of the more vicious...'
After running for a few long hours.
Asta decided something. She must do something, if not... when she runs out of energy there will be no chance to fight again.
The ring on her ring finger glistened, two sheets of paper came out in her hand.
At that moment she threw it toward Helial who approached her from a distance of several hundred meters.
The paper was imbued with Asta's magical energy. Obviously Helial can sense that it's not something simple, but for him right now... it's just like ordinary paper. At least that's what he thought initially before...
BOOM! BOOM!
Two successive blasts hit his body.
Helial does not expect, Asta will use something like an explosive talisman. This shows that, his thinking power is decreasing, it can even be said if the side effects of the Blood Awakening make Helial a fools one.
However, thanks to the attack. Helial became provoked, his eyes changed as red as blood and his full body scattered with anger.
"Rrraaahh!"
His roar threw some trees along the 20 meters where he stood. Asta was also swept away because of the strong blow.
Her body hit a sturdy tree as high as more than 100 meters. A mouthful of blood spilled out from her mouth, her face turning pale. Her protective magic was released at that moment.
"Grr!" Helial growled staring at Asta in front of him.
They are already in the Core Circle. Even the old trees are still as hard as rocks, not to mention the still sturdy.
"You couldn't run Astarte anymore!" He said in a husky raspy voice.
"Your magic energy is running out. I can hardly even feel your Aura... What before... is your last attack? Ghahaha..."
"Though it's pretty hurt... unfortunately that's not enough to get me injured... what else, beat me... ghahaha..."
Asta's body does not seem to take out Aura anymore. The energy in the body also does not have much left. But Asta still has the card in her hand. She deliberately makes her look weak and helpless, to make Helial off guard so she could defeat him with one hit.
The reason, of course, the last card she will use has a pretty fatal risk.
"Why do not you say something? This One, very happy to talk all day with you, Queen Astarte... "
Asta's eyebrows twitched.
She hates it most if someone else calls her "Astarte" other than 'that Man', but this time she has to hold back to make the plan work. So she had no choice but to bite her sweet lips.
Seeing that Helial is very happy. "Ghaha... so, you're completely exhausted to speak hard for you."
BOOM!
A huge explosion can be heard from a distance. There's a big fight there. Even the sound of its outburst exceeded Helial attacks. Who is that?
Seeing Asta looking worried about the explosion, Helial could not help saying, "Gahaha... do not worry! You will soon follow them!" Although Helial was initially suspicious of the explosion, but after thinking that if one of his Demon Beasts had the power of self-explosion magic, he did not give a damn about it.
Hearing that Asta's heart shrank. She could not stand it any longer, she had to quickly defeat the snotty brat—the mad monsters in front of him.
Her heart was pounding, louder, more stringent.
The expression on Asta's face changed from the pale, unemotional to a full-fledged hue.
A sign began to appear on both palms. Both appear to form an incomplete Magic Circle. Slowly the light came out from there.
Asta cupped her palms. A blinding light appeared to make Helial startled.
Helial did not understand what was happening, he did not dare to come crashing towards him. Even he who has become a monster, instinctively do not want to approach the current Asta.
Asta's thoughts only crossed concern and the face of a boy named Elan.
The shadow made her impatient.
Asta's gorgeous face tightens her determination as she screams loudly...
"First Seal! Open!"
