"Damn it!" Eren shouted. His whole body was burning with flames, and a long scythe appeared in his hand. He instantly moved to the front of Chen Rui and slashed at his head.
The Karon Family had put in a lot of effort to cultivate Eren, his only son. Eren was now at the peak of Intermediate Demon, and he was one step away from Higher Demon. The power of this blow was really amazing. Chen Rui consumed a lot of strength in the battle with Reka just now, but he wasn't afraid of Eren. What he was worried about was the one-eyed Higher Demon.
Chen Rui rubbed his body and advanced instead of retreating. When the scythe was about to touch his body, he suddenly turned sideways and punched the scythe to the side. A corner of his cloak was cut off. Before Eren could react, a lightning-like punch hit his lower abdomen. Eren suddenly bent down in pain.
The one-eyed Great Demon saw that Eren missed, and as he was about to take action, he saw that Eren's arm was grabbed by the opponent. Eren swung his arm forcefully and flew toward him.
Eren lost his center of gravity and rode on the clouds. Fortunately, he was caught by someone. When he saw that it was the one-eyed Great Demon, he immediately shouted, "Mikas, kill him!"
Mikas nodded slightly, only to see Aguile jumping into the night sky while he was catching Alan. The one-eyed Great Demon sneered and disappeared instantly. Eren's vicious voice came from behind, "Mikas, after catching him, torture him to death with flames!"
On the roof behind, a pair of calm red pupils quietly watched this scene under the moonlight.
The difference in realm wasn't an ordinary cross-rank challenge. There was basically no possibility of winning. Besides, Chen Rui's injuries and stamina hadn't recovered yet. He couldn't compete with Higher Demon, so he didn't fight recklessly and chose to retreat.
However, Mikas's strength wasn't trivial. He followed closely, and Eren couldn't get rid of him. Chen Rui's speed was the best among his peers among Intermediate Demons, but in the eyes of Higher Demons, it could barely reach the ordinary standard. Mikas's teleportation was far better than Reka in terms of distance and recovery rate. The distance between both parties gradually narrowed. If Chen Rui didn't see the opportunity early and exchanged a bottle of True Wind Walking Potion to drink, which greatly increased his speed, he would almost be caught up.
In this case, Chen Rui couldn't return to the lab or the Cloak Gang. Due to his serious injuries, he would be caught up sooner or later. Suddenly, he thought of Paglio's words. He changed his direction and ran toward the city gate.
Tonight, the centaur, Ganke, led the guards at the city gate. In Ganke's eyes, he only felt a gust of wind passing by as if something brushed past him, but he couldn't see it clearly in the night. Before he could react, another gust of wind passed by. The soldiers were all surprised.
Mikas was secretly annoyed. Although this Aguile only has the strength of Intermediate Demon, his speed is indeed outstanding. It is actually far better than the level he showed when he fought with Reka on the stage. What's worse is that he is unusually cunning. From time to time, he used the terrain to circle around. There were a few times when Mikas almost succeeded, but he escaped.
However, no matter how cunning Aguile is, the difference in strength is still there. Mikas was experienced, so he kept calm at the moment. He just locked the opponent's position and followed closely.
Chen Rui gradually felt that he couldn't take it anymore. Although [Astral Form] could quickly recover injuries and stamina, there was a limit after all. Besides, under the premise that he was injured, the consumption was undoubtedly greater to perform at such a high speed. The effect of the True Wind Walking Potion was 20 minutes, but even a grand master-level potion had an hour "cooldown" time. In other words, there was no effect even if he drank the potion within an hour. Now, the potion's effect was over.
Sure enough, when his direction was slightly slower, Mikas immediately caught it keenly. His body flashed with flames, and he activated his teleportation talent, accurately blocking in front of him.
Chen Rui didn't have time to change his direction, and Mikas had already swept his leg. He almost couldn't see the trajectory of this leg, so he could only rely on the feeling that was tempered in special training and actual combat. He closed his arms and blocked this leg. He only felt that his arms were like being hit by a steel hammer; they were about to break. His entire body was blown away by this strong force.
Before Chen Rui landed on the ground, Mikas had already caught up with him halfway. He swung his arm and sent Chen Rui flying upward. Mikas' figure appeared in mid-air again. He crossed his fists and smashed hard. Chen Rui heard the sound of broken bones somewhere. His body was smashed to the ground like a falling meteor. He felt that the place that was hit was so painful that he almost lost his senses. He couldn't get up for a while.
In the information provided by Jía, Mikas was one of the guards arranged by the Karon Family beside Eren. His strength was at the early stage of Higher Demon. The difference in realm was quite huge. Although Chen Rui's strength was equivalent to the strongest Intermediate Demon, in front of a Higher Demon, even a newly advanced Higher Demon was vulnerable.
This was also the reason why Eren almost gave up on Athena after he knew that she became a Higher Demon.
"To be able to make me spend so much effort to catch up with you, you are considered an anomaly among the Intermediate Demons." Mikas' figure appeared in front of Chen Rui. "However, even the strongest Intermediate Demon is just an Intermediate Demon. Today, you will definitely die."
According to this situation, I can no longer reach the blue lake. Since I can't retreat, I will fight to the death. Chen Rui clenched his teeth. He didn't care about his injury and stamina. He gathered the remaining Star Power and supported his body bit by bit. He stood up and drank a few bottles of potions in his hand.
"I can't believe you can still stand up." Mikas' eyes fell on the potions he just drank. He looked shocked and said, "What you just drank is a black potion? How is this possible? "
Chen Rui didn't answer. He just quietly waited for the potion to take effect. Mikas thought for a while and shook his head, "If a potion grand master is born, it would have shocked the Demon Realm. So, those bottles just now can't be black potions. They are just healing or auxiliary potions with similar colors. Why haven't you felt the difference between Higher Demon and Lower Demon? Even if you drank a black potion, it's useless! Isn't it good to accept death with peace of mind? "
"Since you want to suffer more before you die, I, Sir Mikas, will fulfill your wish …"
As soon as he finished his words, Mikas had appeared in front of Chen Rui. He punched his heart with the sound of the wind. Strangely, Chen Rui's reaction and offensive and defensive abilities were actually a lot stronger. He barely blocked Mikas' punch, but the remaining force still made him stagger back.
Chen Rui didn't forcibly stop his body. Instead, he used Mikas's own strength to guide Mikas's fist to the side. At the same time, he turned sideways and kicked Mikas's ribs with all his strength. As he was about to hit, a palm appeared under his ribs and blocked his full blow. The palm then grabbed his leg and twisted it quickly, trying to break his leg bone. The poison dragon usually used this trick, so Chen Rui immediately had the most correct natural reaction. He used the momentum to turn around, and his other leg had already hit Mikas's face.
Mikas took a few steps back and felt a burning pain on his face. His eyes were full of hostility. He didn't expect to be kicked in the face by an Intermediate Demon. Although he wasn't seriously injured, it was a great shame. He shouted angrily and suddenly sped up. He hit Chen Rui's ribs like lightning.
Chen Rui only felt a sharp pain. If it weren't for the real Iron Wall Potion, this blow might have broken a few more ribs. Mikas's anger didn't diminish. He instantly moved behind Chen Rui and suddenly exerted his strength. It was another heavy punch. Chen Rui snorted and turned around to kick. This time, Mikas didn't dare to grab his leg again, so he dodged it.
Although the effect of the potion enhanced Chen Rui's ability a lot, and although he narrowed the gap and occasionally counterattacked, he still couldn't compete with Mikas who was a whole level higher. After persisting for a while, he was hit hard by Mikas. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string. His flying body slammed into a huge tree, leaving a shallow pit. The huge tree broke into two pieces and collapsed with a loud bang.
Chen Rui's facial features were bleeding. He felt that his bones were broken, and he couldn't gather Star Power at all. Every movement would affect the wounds all over his body. But, should I just give up like this?
Today, he was no longer the rookie whose will was shaken by the Bloody Hand, Lance's disturbance in the arena. In the training ground with four times gravity, without any Star Power, he had experienced the test of will of life and death more than once.
When I can't persist anymore, I still have to persist! In a sense, will determines the body!
Mikas flashed to the front of Chen Rui. As he was about to give a fatal blow, he saw "Aguile" who fell to the ground had already propped up his body and made a strange posture to aim at him. His left hand held his right wrist while his right hand's fingers opened.
Although he didn't appear at the VIP seats, Mikas witnessed the battle in the arena, especially the scene where Arux caught the light ball with both hands. He instantly had a creepy feeling. At the same time, a huge white light shone in front of him.
"< Aurora Shot >!"
< Aurora Shot > was enhanced by the black potion. This was already Chen Rui's biggest blow and his last hope.
Mikas just used his teleportation, so he couldn't react in a hurry. He instinctively stretched out his hands and caught the white light ball. The moment he touched the light ball, Mikas's body trembled. The huge pressure from his hands was far beyond his imagination. He finally understood why even Arux needed to catch it with both hands. The flames around him burned with a "whoosh", and his body retreated slowly involuntarily. Each step left a deep footprint on the ground.
When he retreated for seven or eight steps, Mikas suddenly shouted and swung his hands like throwing a ball. He threw the < Aurora Shot > to the side fiercely. It knocked down trees along the way and finally disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Mikas who was safe and sound, Chen Rui panted and showed a bitter smile behind the mask. The < Aurora Shot > just now had exhausted all of his remaining Star Power. The time limit of the black potion was almost up. He could clearly feel the potion's power decreasing bit by bit. In addition to his severe injury, it was extremely difficult to even move a finger.
The difference between Higher Demon and Intermediate Demon was too huge. Even if he took the enhancement potion, the final killer move wouldn't work.
"I never thought that there was actually an Intermediate Demon that could fight with me to this extent. You can't transform and teleport, so you should be a royal family member, and you're also a genius. In the future, you can at least become a Demon King-level powerhouse above Higher Demon. Unfortunately, you have no future. "
Mikas looked at his bleeding palm in surprise and smiled cruelly, "Since Master Allen ordered you to die painfully in the flame, then I'll let you taste my flame talent before you die."
