Chapter 295 Colin vs Skorn(2)

Colin and Skorn clashed fiercely inside the [Playground of the Infernal King] with the heat of the hell flames licking against his armour. The fierce hell flames wrapped around Colin's gauntlets as he exchanged blows with Skorn. Colin landed a punch to Skorn's face, causing his armour to crack, and his body to be pushed back. Skorn swung his axe towards Colin's waist, but it harmlessly passed through his body, as his waist turned into darkness. Colin smirked and his leg was shrouded in hellfire, before he delivered a kick to his chin, lifting his body off the ground. Skorn landed on the ground, and frowned as he didn't think the fight would be this hard. Based on the information he got, Colin was a human who got turned at the start of the apocalypse. He found the information a bit strange as Colin became a true demon instead of a sub species, but he didn't pay much attention to that. A former human couldn't be that strong.

How wrong he was.

"Is that all you got? I am only just getting started." Colin said as he walked towards him, his entire body emitting wisps of darkness. For the last two weeks, he has experimented with his skills, trying to develop new abilities and this is what he came up with, [Darkness Incarnation]. This ability allowed him to continuously channel [Darkness Affinity] throughout his body, making the activation of [Darkness Transmutation] quicker.

Skorn rushed forward once more and swung his axe at Colin's neck and he dodged, and a pillar of hellfire rose from beneath them, enveloping them both. Skorn was sent flying outside the pillar, but he managed to land on his feet. He looked over at Colin with a smirk as blood trickled down his cheeks. Skorn was over a hundred years old and during that time, he has seen many different abilities, from multiple affinities. He has even fought against people with elemental transmutation type abilities...and he had some idea of how to deal with them. It was clear that Colin was a novice, and it was hard for him to keep more than one abilities active. He guessed that Colin could only keep two active, the domain and the [Darkness Transmutation], he also found out from the last exchange that Colin is afraid of his neck.

"You have a lot of potential, too bad you will have to die here." Skorn said and he was surrounded by a fierce golden aura, and Colin narrowed his eyes. The hellfire suddenly became even more intense and Skorn smiled broadly before rushing towards Colin. Colin's eyes widened as Skorn's figure appeared infront of him, his axe descending towards him at blinding speed.

*BOOOM*

A huge crater appeared where Skorn's axe impacted, raising a large dust cloud and sending earth shards everywhere. Once the dust cloud cleared, they could see Skorn standing in a deep crater, with the domain gone and Colin standing at the edge of the crater with blood dripping from his chest. A diagonal slash mark went from his shoulder to his waist and blood was pouring out like crazy, soaking the ground. The wound wasn't healing as fast as it should have, causing Colin to lose a lot of DP in a short amount of time.

"I see you have come to know the [Bleed] enchantment intimately." Skorn said as he walked towards him. Colin gritted his teeth, and fireballs appeared in the air, causing Skorn to laugh.

"That won't work." Skorn said and proved his point when the fireballs crashed into his face, but his armour protected him from the damage. As the flames cleared, he could see a black fist infront of his face, soon to impact his helmet covered face.

*BOOOM*

Another loud explosion sounded out as Colin's fist impacted Skorn's face, sending him flying through the forest. He crashed into a section of the wall, almost breaking through, and he quickly got up with his ears ringing. He coughed up some blood and wiped the blood from beneath his nose.

"Well fuck kid, that actually hurts." Skorn said with a crazy grin on his face and Colin shuddered

'I put a lot of energy into that attack, enough to completely destroy the upper half off a tier 4, and it only made him cough up some blood and a nose bleed.' Colin thought

"Let's see if you can do that again." Skorn said and rushed towards him, swinging his axe at his neck, but it harmlessly passed through. Colin delivered an explosive uppercut to Skorn's chin, sending him flying into the air as the shockwave shook the trees. As he flew higher into the sky, Skorn prepared for his downward flight, when he sensed something that made him shiver.

"Amalgamation: Dark-Fire Dragon." Colin said and both darkness and hellfire left his body, wrapping around each other, before forming the fearsome visage of a dragon's. With scales of pure darkness, and eyes of crimson hellfire, a fraction of the fearsome hellfire hiding inside. Amalgamation was a technique Lily helped both him and Alice with, it was the ability to combine both affinities. It was a lot harder than Colin thought, as both affinities seem to fight against each other, but eventually, he managed to learn it. And this was the result.

The dragon launched into the sky with trails of darkness and hellfire following behind, and Skorn screamed as the dragon head consumed him.
