The demon lord bolted like a lightning. Even faster than the speed he had displayed previously on the previous encounters. Closing their distance in a matter of less than a second, the demon lord swing his arm to assault Kent.

Kent step back while gathering mana on his arms preparing to received the other parties attack.

Boom!

The sound of explosion echoed throughout the surrounding. Much louder than the previous explosion that was cause by their confrontation. The two execute a exchange attack at each other almost making the surroundings shook by the shockwave they have cause.

The exchange continue for a minute. The demon lord receive heavy strikes targeting his vital spot or the injured part. While Kent only received minors wounds. It displayed the difference in their combat standards

But for some unforeseen unlucky situation Kent mistakenly punch the demon lords chest out of enjoyment caused by the fight. That he should have avoid, cause it might give the demon lord a advantage.

Demon's chest is one of their vital spots but at the same time their hardest part. When as person deliver a physical attack at the spot, they would received a backfiring effect stunning them for 1 second. Because of such mistake Kent flew like a cannon ball being struck by a punch.

Boom! -1450

Thankfully Kent was able to defend but not fully.

However before he could be thrown to the wall, the demon lord appear above him in his hand a condensed mana was formed. Targeting Kent

Unfortunately before the demon lord could connect his attack Kent activated the Lightweight Demonic Set's

The next millisecond Kent performed another unbelievable combat technique.

Mana Manipulation Combat Technique [Mana Essence Destruction]

Poof…?

The demon lord looked at the hand that supposed to have gathered a chunk of mana in dazes.

[Mana Essence Destruction] is one of the most complex and difficult combat technique that focus on one's understanding about mana manipulation. The higher ones comprehension the more powerful the combat technique. Being able to destroy any type of magic in a certain aspects would be heaven defying in a world of swords and magic. But that wasn't it apex one's the user full assimilate the aspect about mana, they could easily analyze and learned any type of magical spell and even destroy it with a little to know effort.

This was all possible thanks to his trait {Sage} and {Domain} letting him used the [Mana Essence Destruction] in a different level. This was Kent's trademark move on the past people even begun calling him Destruction Emperor. However such combat technique would not work on someone that possessed the same level of mana assimilation as him. That was also the reason for the demon lord's surprised, as he possessed high level of comprehension. But his mana manipulation was this influenced and got destroyed. Beings that embark on higher tier's and transcend them would need to increase their knowledge about mana manipulation to be able to continue and grow. Even do the current Kent was still weak. He was one's a apex tier 7, he could even influence tier 8 apex experts mana manipulation and kill them.

But before the demon lord could react from the sudden event. Kent made a move Kent deliver a powerful stab towards the demon lord's injury.

Tad…! Splash…! -67,980

Some crimson lava blood splatter to Kent resulting in a red number appearing above his head. -18 -20 -16

Ignoring the small damaged he had received Kent performed a Bear Hug martial move, slamming the demon lord to the ground. Follow up by a small HP consumption of -230.

The demon lord was surprised at it snap out from his dazes being slammed into the ground. He tried to stand up to make a distance, but before he could do the thing Kent made another move.

Not giving the demon lord the chance. Kent activated the Holy Light Necklace.

SKILL: Holy Light Aura

Decreasing the demon lords stats by a considerable degree, combined by the suppression of the system and Kent title demon hinter. The demon lord was weakened to a disastrous state.

Kent didn't waste the chance he ones again did a martial move Ground Pound. Forcing the demon lord to stay on the ground, at the same time he execute at combination [Horizontal Slash] and [Double Swift Strike] on the demon lord's injuries.

-103,400 -110,230

Feeling the pain. The demon lord gritted it's teeth in helplessness, he had thought when he miniaturized himself he could avoid being hit on the injured part. But it backfire at him as he's enemy is more cunning and powerful in a closed quarter in the same size. The demon lord is been experiencing a mana depletion preventing him to cast any spell other than instant movement. Unfortunately he could not cast instant movement while being attack, all he could to is try to defend his injured spot pushing him in a state of losing.

Gritting his teeth the demon lord then pull off a gamble. He increase the density for converting life force into power. He then punch Kent that was about to perform another combination move.

Boom! -340

Kent was then pushed back by 4 meters as he was forced to defend from the attack even so he still receive a considerable damage. A that attack from the demon lord carry a large force that couldn't be taken lightly. He failed predict the demon lord's attack as his power increase out lf nowhere. The only possible explanation he could thought of is that the demon lord increase the life force conversation into power to achieve such power, even do being suppressed.

The demon lord was about to stand up to retreat but was suddenly struck by another martial move. Kent's speed was so fast that it dint gave him the time to react before being attacked.

Kent attack with a Side hook kick with a force that carry immense destructive power by combining the simple martial move with his combat technique [Threefold Critical Burst] the supposedly to be a normal martial move became a terrifying move.

Boom! -98,029 Boom! -110,340 Boom! -130,890

The consecutive explosions echoed in the area. Together with a scream and agony that came from the panting demon lord. That damage was only possible because of the demon lords rage ability being active, reducing his vitality together with his last struggle berserk converting his life force into attack power. Moreover Kent's attack was back up by a strong forced targeting the demon lord's injury, their were also the account on what combat technique he used. Kent used a combat technique the gave of a combination attack where each attack increase the damage being dealt. The injured spot was now in a more sever state after being attack a dozen times.

If the demon lord dint received a recovery in his HP after increasing the conversation of life force, he might had already fallen from the large damage's he received on Kent's monstrous attacks to his injurie.

[Hidden Special Boss]

Name: Demon Alzion (Demon Lord)

Level: Abnormally Weakened State 20 (Epic Rank) (Miniaturized)

HP: 19,999/500,000

The demon lords HP had already reach the 20,000 below threshold forcing the Demon lord to undergo the [End Struggle] a passive ability for demons when they reach the close death state.

In this moment the demon lords attributes would be multiple by ×2 for a minute. A extremely sinister last stand. These is also the reason why people usually avoid confronting a higher demon. As many had fallen on these last stand ability of them.

The player that faced such demon only needed to survive for two minutes or killed the demon. Of what they do is survive they would only gain 50% of the loot that was supposed to drop. So many was force to faced the overpowered demon in such state and died miserably.

Even if they deliver a damage that could cause more than a million on a 20,001 HP demon the damage would be reduce drastically.

As when the higher demon reach 20,000 threshold. Their vitality and defense would increase by 1000% follow up by their resistance to all energy essence on what ever elements attacks by 1000% making them invincible for a short time.
