Arrival

"Xuan!" Diana screamed.

Xuan then grabbed his grandpa and then put him with the others.

Xuan then stared at the Manticore demon lord.

"I congratulate you for making me pissed," Xuan walked towards him and he clenched his fist.

The Demon lord then glowed and took the form of a humanoid. With it, the enemy has better prowess in martial arts in the sacrifice of its demonic prowess.

They immediately ran towards each other and they clashed. The dirt was hurled as they dashed. Colliding with each other.

The two immediately battled with their martial arts. Xuan was kicked in the face but he ducked and then kicked his feet. Making his enemy stumble and spin.

The enemy regained his balance and kicked in retaliation. Hitting on Xuan in the process.

Xuan then punched him and he was hit in the face. Making a follow-up of three strikes on the face. All were blocked by the enemy.

He immediately knee-kicked him and elbowed. Making the enemy hit in the chest and the side. The Demon lord stepped back a bit to breathe but Xuan did not let him take a breather. He dashed to close the distance and elbow charged him on the abdomen. Making him puke in the process.

He immediately drop-kicked him on the head and he smashed his face on the ground.

The enemy glowed in red and was angered. He could not tolerate the treatment he was facing. He grabbed Xuan by the feet and then smashed him on the ground. Xuan was surprised by such an attack and gritted his teeth.

He was smashed left and right and could only be helpless. Making him breathe out air as he was slammed on the ground chest first.

He immediately kicked him for him to let go of his grip and he immediately made an axe kick. Alarmed, the enemy retreated a bit upon the impact of the kick to evade it.

The two stepped back to gain distance from each other and they were in stance. They took a breather and both were panting.

"Now, it's time to get serious!" the enemy bellowed.

It was at that moment, that Xuan knew his transformation. It was their rage form. They have 3 forms and they were: Demon form, Humanoid form, and last, and Rage form.

The enemy glowed in blood red and was emitting radiance. Making Xuan know that it was the rage form indeed.

Xuan was alarmed, now that the enemy was going all out, he had to greet him too with the same strength.

"Well, I need to get serious too," Xuan said then smiled. The enemy was serious about defeating him this time around.

He then prepared all his martial techniques and made a devilish smirk. Eyes glaring with bloodlust.

The enemy flew towards him and he created black balls of dark energy.

Xuan was attacked by it and used forcefield from his Telekinetic martial technique. Slapping them on the side as he went to approach him.

The enemy was alarmed and baffled by his capabilities. He did not expect that the dark missiles he sent to him were all slapped to the side!

Xuan immediately disappeared and he appeared on his back while levitating.

"Surprise!" Xuan shouted at him as he used the combination of Flickering strikes.

Using teleportation to disappear and then strike the enemy. Xuan punched him in the face and teleported. Repeating the same process in a rapid succession. He used to do the same technique for several seconds until the enemy was left battered.

The enemy retaliated but he could only punch thin air. Xuan was fast enough to make him evade such strikes.

He smashed him on the head and he fell to the ground. But still, Xuan was not yet content and smashed him again to make him flung upwards. Also making another kick to the side and then disappearing to appear again on the top. Smashing him in the process.

Xuan then used his summoning technique and summoned vines. Making him bound to the ground and then he summoned wolves to attack him.

Also, some elemental vines attack him while bound.

There were also some man-eating vines that he summoned and Sunflower. They all attacked the enemy and he was all being ganged upon.

Roar!

He bellowed and then tried to break loose. Xuan immediately used his elemental technique and used the fire element. He dashed towards him and used fire to propel towards him.

His enemy was broken free and he immediately fired a fire cannon on him. Scorching him in the process and making him burnt. However, it was not enough to kill him immediately.

He dashed and the two met. Xuan has blazing hands and he struck his enemy with some punches. A rotation and a pillar of fire tornado were made. The enemy stepped back and then he fired fire missiles on him.

The demon lord retaliated and fired dark missiles and their spells clashed. Making the two spam them and their surroundings got destroyed instead.

Babababam!

Xuan then attacked with more fire on his output. He roared and he became enveloped by fire. He immediately propelled like a missile and barraged his enemy with rapid blows. Punching him left and right and then rotating to do a tornado kick.

Roar!

The enemy bellowed as he was scorched by the heat. He was left to endure the heat as the fight continued.

Xuan then used his Conjurer technique and then rained him with swords. Skewering him in the process while burned.

The enemy puked blood and he was defeated. Making him chuckle as he watched Xuan.

"Hahaha, you are indeed strong. But my brethren will avenge my death. Prepare for the worst! Hahaha!" he bellowed.

Xuan heard it but he was confident in his clan. The rest of the monsters that saw the death of their leader all made their escape. They didn't want to die yet.

Xuan then sat on the ground and was about to pass out. Luckily, Diana was there and healed him. Taking care of him in the process.

"Thanks," Xuan said to him, quite glad.

"Don't mention it," she said to him.
