Chapter 19 Round Two

Chapter 19 Round Two

"Dark! I told you to stay put! How could I, a great being, die so easily?" A voice was heard in between them from the place where Damien had been before the beast attacked.

They simultaneously turned their heads to their midst and forcussed their visions back to the place Damien had been standing.

Damien's staff was still at the place he had been holding it at before the beast attacked. A globe of blood around two meters in diameter was floating next to it.

"How come your voice is coming from the blood? How can you still be alive?" A bunch of questions dropped out of Dark's mouth.

"This concerns the workings of my blood divinity so it will be hard to explain. But all you have to know is that the creature did really eat my body and this blood is going to form a new one." The voice explained. The surface of the blood sphere rippled as sound was transmitted from it.

It shrank and formed a humanoid shape upon which bones started forming within it, then the organs, muscles and other things before its outer layer transformed into dark skin.

Damien, in all his glory had been recreated and stood before them.

The creature's lone eye twitched upon seeing him but it didn't dare to move as it could still sense the danger given off by the women, mostly Dark.

Dark's face turned crimson as she gazed upon his form. She hurriedly turned her head away from him and said, "P-Put on some clothes."

On the other hand, Lino didn't avert her vision as she gazed upon the glistening dark skin, chiseled abs and his well sculpted body. Her mouth involuntarily opened as drool threatened to spill out.

"Aaaaaaaah" screamed Damien when he caught Lino's eyes gazing at his manhood.

"It is big!!! I want to try it some day and see if it fits" She subconsciously let her thoughts spill out of her mouth as she gulped a mouthful of saliva.

"Lino! How could you try to ogle at my magnificent body when you aren't yet qualified. Dark! dear, you should view my perfect body a bit more since this is a rare chance. Your next viewing might only come when you become mine." He shouted at Lino before turning his body towards Dark and softly enticing her.

"Put on your clothes or you might not have any descendants in the future." Dark threatened through gritted teeth with her head still turned to the side. The blush had spread to her neck.

The black flames coating her body threatened to jump onto his manhood causing him to recoil and hurriedly weave a suit identical to the one the monster swallowed using some of the strings inside him.

"This is just a flimsy construct which doesn't provide any protection. Monster!!! You are going to have to spit out that suit. Even though we are in an illusory world, I can't allow my suit to be digested." Damien said as he picked up the staff with his left hand.

"Lino, we are going to pick up the pace, time is a gentleman's luxury, not a monster's." He said calmly as he twirled it between his fingers.

'No wonder I felt as if l had only devoured half of the strings I had sensed from that being, he had life saving measures.' The monster thought as its lone eye appraised the trio.

'Should I continue fighting or take flight?' Such a dilemma plagued the beast's mind.

Damien's body lit up once again with red flames before he leapt up and turned into a red blur to reappear in front of the monster. His hands were raised high holding the staff as he brought it smashing down on its head.

The fur on its arms hardened as it crossed them above its head. The collision between the staff and arms produced a metallic sound and sent sparks flying.

The branch the beast was standing on bent due to the force of the attack but it didn't break.

Damien's face registered a sneer as the staff softened and wrapped around the beast's hands before it hardened once again locking them together.

'Shit' the beast cursed in its mind as it tried to come up with counter measures.

A beam of white light, was projected onto its body while they were still deadlocked and Lino appeared in front of it as if she had teleported. It looked like the goddess of light had manifested.

The white suit turned brown as the brown rose on the shimmered.

Her right leg bent backwards as she kicked towards the beast's stomach horizontally.

Her leg first connected with the erect hardened fur on its stomach crushing the hardened fur to pieces it and then connected with the stomach.

The beast's body bent at the stomach and Damien's bonds loosened as it was catapulted at a very high speed into the depths of the trees. Drops of green blood which it had spat out when the kick connected were the only things left floating in place before splattering onto the surface of the green branch.

The force of the kick had caused the branches the monster's body collided with to break as it continuously knocked into them.

Damien and Lino didn't let up as they once again turned into a red and white streak respectively racing towards the direction the beast had been kicked in.

Dark also opted to follow them so that she could continue to observe their battle.

The beast's momentum was finally halted when it collided into a tree stem and dug a tunnel into it stopping five meters inward. The tree had a diameter if around ten meters so the beast's body had dug halfway through it.

Lino, who was travelling at the speed almost rivalling that of light by using the white rose's unique divinity was the first to appear in front of the hole upon which the emerald green rose on her crown shimmered changing her color scheme to emerald.

Green vines adorned with emerald green roses were produced from her left hand while she was in midair and formed a drill which plunged into the hole while rotating at incredible speed.

The beast, which had still been in the process of collecting itself, was hit by the drill tip upon which it was pushed further into the tree.

Damien appeared at this time and seeing what Lino was doing, raced along the side of the tree as a red streak to appear at its back.

Around the same time, the back of the tree burst open as the drill made a hole, wood splinters and dust spreading through the air. The beast's humanoid body appeared midair as a hole could be seen in its chest with green blood pouring out. It had just managed to disconnect itself from the tip of the drill.

Still disoriented, it didn't sense Damien who was running towards it from the side treating the tree stem as even ground.

Damien, upon catching a glimpse of the beast midair, transformed the staff in his right hand into a sword with a thought.

The red flames burning on his body turned darker as his red eyes did too. His left hand also found its way to the sword as he held it in both hands.

"Aaaah!!!" he shouted as he performed a swing as veins bulged on his arms beneath the suit.

The blood red sword extended in length by over fifty meters as he swung it towards the beast.

It first collided with the back of the beast's neck where it met a little resistance before slicing through the beast. The slash continued and sliced upwards horizontally through the tree where it took a lot of his strength.

Lino, who was still midair and withdrawing her drill vines saw a red flash appear above her before the upper part of the tree started sliding off the lower half and falling towards the back.

After racing around the tree, Damien appeared back at the front upon which he leapt off the tree to stand on the branch of another behind Lino.

He knelt on one knee as he panted heavily as he had used a lit of strength. The red flames on his body had also dimmed significantly. The fight had been so fast that it had ended in an instant.

Lino launched a vine towards the branch he was on and wound it around before pulling herself onto it.

The top half of the tree tilted towards the back and crashed the beast under it which had regained its gigantic form upon dying.

Dark, who had been watching on the branch atop the one they were on, was flushing with excitement due to their unparalleled teamwork. Her tiny face had reddened like a tomato as she was struggling to maintain her composure.

"Damien! That was epic." She complemented with stars in her eyes upon landing near him.

Lino rolled her currently emerald green eyes at her upon seeing her fan girl attitude.

"This is normal in the universe, their is nothing epic about it, princess." Lino sarcastically commented earning a glare of displeasure from Dark.

"Its time to retrieve my suit. I hope the creature's digestive system hasn't managed to devour even a string of it or else..." Damien said as he stood up and prepared to jump down.

"By the way, Dark! You will have to get rid of the other beasts on the way as the creature managed to devour half my illusory body's strings. I might get kicked out if the illusory world if I exhaust the remaining ones." He said as he looked towards Dark who was staring st him with shining eyes.

"How long are you going to be mesmerized by my perfection as I am perfect every second,hmmm? As long as I live?" He wondered as he brought his face only inches away from hers.
