A Contest Of Strength II

The chain-wielding demon took out more than half of the competition in a matter of seconds. The few remaining demons who managed to avoid his wraith all made a circle around him. None of them said anything to each other. They all knew that if they didn't work together to take out the chain demon, they would all lose.

"Ha! You're all teaming up on me!? Even if there were five more of each of you, I'd still win," he taunted the seven demons who were around him.

They didn't respond kindly to his taunt and scowled at him. "Don't get too full of yourself Reepmn!" one of the demons shouted at him.

"I'm not full of myself, I'm just telling the truth! What are you all waiting for!? Come at me already!" Reepmn shouted back at the seven demons. The crowd was riled up and Kies could see that it had split in half. Half of the demons were cheering for Reepmn while the other half were rooting for the seven demons, telling them to take down the arrogant b*stard.

Both sides exchanged a few more rude remarks before one of the demons circling Reepmn snapped and teleported behind him and gave him a hard punch to the back of his head. But despite how hard the demon hit him, Reepmn didn't even budge from the spot he was standing. It only caused his head to bend down slightly.

"Is that all you got?" Chains wrapped around the demon that attacked Reepmn. The demon tried his best to break free but couldn't. Reepmn made a throwing gesture with his hand and the chains responded by throwing the demon out of the ring. The crowd cheered loudly.

Another demon rushed at Reepmn but was stopped in his tracks before he even got the chance to attack. Chains wrapped around the demon's ankles and then his body. He was pulled to the ground where he could only wriggle, struggling to break free. This demon too was thrown over and out of the ring by Reepmn. Now there were only five demons left.

"All of you come at me at the same time!" Reepmn told the demons. The five of them all looked at each other and all charged in at the same time. As much as they hated to admit it, they had no chance of winning if they all didn't go in at the same time. Reepmn could easily take them all on if they went in one at a time as demonstrated by the two foolish demons who were sent flying out of the ring.

The demon closest to Reepmn coated his body in a layer of magic before colliding with Reepmn. The two locked hands and started pushing each other. It looked like Reepmn had the upper hand in strength since he was slowly pushing the other demon back. However, the other four demons weren't doing anything. They supported the demon who was taking on Reepmn from a distance by shooting magic at him.

Reepmn broke out of the deadlock between himself and the other demon and dodged all the magic attacks that were coming at him. He then created a chain in his hand and swung it in a full arc, causing all the demons to jump back to avoid getting hit. However, the demon closest to Reepmn wasn't able to dodge in time and was hit in the chest by the chain.

The demon was knocked aback by the attack and fell to the ground. He recovered quickly and got back up as fast as he fell down. He rubbed his chest a little where the chain had hit and went charged in again. Reepmn spun the chain back around a second time but this time, the other demon caught it just as it was about to hit him and tugged on it. He pulled Reepmn towards him but that was only because Reepmn was caught off-guard by him catching the chain.

Reepmn slid to a stop and held his ground, yanking his chain back to him and pulling the other demon towards him. The demon stumbled forward and received a punch right in his face. The demon cursed and stumbled backward, covering his face with his hand. But Reepmn wasn't giving him any time to breathe and ran forward to deliver a second punch but was stopped when one of the other four demons jumped in to block it.

The only female demon left in the brawl intercepted the blow and kicked Reepmn in the stomach, making him spit out saliva. "Allal, you sure kick hard." Reepmn gave credit to the demon who kicked him and stood up tall and straight again. He waved his hands and chains erupted from the ground where the demoness was. Luckily, she reacted in time and ran to the side, dodging the chains as they tried to grab her.

However, the other demon wasn't as lucky. He was too busy trying to ease the pain on his face from Reepmn's punch that didn't notice the chains around him until it was too late. The chains tangled around him and pulled him to the floor. "D*mn it! Let me go!" The demon tugged at the chains with all his might and managed to pry a few of them off but he eventually lost the fight against them and was sent flying out of the ring just like the other two demons before him.

Now there were only four left.
