MTLNOVEL Chapter 1377: Intense Battle!
-----
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
RUMBLE!
Nyx's intense battle against the Nightmare Demon continued. The blows from the demon were stronger than ever before, and even faster.
Although her Demise Flame Armor allowed her to offset the Corrosion Flame destructive power, it exhausted her rapidly, her large Mana reserves began to dwindle quickly.
She had to defeat this thing before it was to kill her first!
And yet… she felt so exhausted.
"Haahh… Haahh… Haahh…"
Overusing her Divine Concept came with mental exhaustion, which over accumulated as Nyx tried to fight back against the thing, which had become so quick and powerful.
She quickly noticed that it would be useless to continue this way, as her mind would become so exhausted she would pass out before long.
FLUOSH!
She dispelled her Demise Flame Armor, and then jumped into the skies, flying as high as possible!
"I cannot defeat him like this! I have to either destroy him from afar or try to escape!"
Nyx thought about escaping! She immediately began gathering her Shadows and Darkness into her hands, and also the power of the Void Element.
The Void Element was a power she was born with, although very unexplored, it manifested in certain skills.
She channeled this power through her certain skills, and then imbued it into her claws.
"I will tear apart this dimensional wall and get out and look for mama!"
As she was about to reach the ceiling of this created, fake world…
"YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME."
"Huh?"
Nyx's eyes widened, a large black portal opened above her, as the Nightmare Demon appeared from there.
"N-No…"
He opened his jaws, firing a gigantic blazing cannon of Green Corrosion Flames!
"AAAH!"
Nyx panicked, releasing her own Demise Flames as her throat began bleeding even more intensively.
BOOOMMM!!!
An explosion of flames erupted, as both giants fell from the skies. The nightmare demon flew towards Nyx using green flame wings.
"I'LL BURN YOU! BURN YOU! BURN YOU! BURN YOU!"
"Get away from meeee!"
Nyx screamed angrily, conjuring hundreds of Spells at once as she unleashed all her magical power in that very second.
"{Abyssal Dark Star}!"
Hundreds of black spheres of blazing black flames reached the Nightmare Demon, bombarding him from every single angle and exploding, spreading dark flames.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"{Void Shadow Spear}!"
Dozens of large spears made out of shadow void reached the nightmare demon, impaling his body several times and dealing great damage.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"{Soul Devourer}!"
"{Life Steal}!"
"{Demonic Curse}!"
Nyx then combined three other Spells together into a single powerful Spell, unleashing her magical and undead powers and beginning to drain the lifeforce of her opponent, cursing them to weaken their stats, and then trying to devour their soul.
"NNNGGHH…?!"
The Nightmare Demon was shocked, but he was able to resist the effects very well! Without letting Nyx drain his lifeforce and soul away, although to resist, he had to put considerable effort.
"Y-YOUUUU!"
The Nightmare Demon's face grew distorted as he roared furiously, opening his jaws and aiming at Nyx to devour her whole.
"{Abyssal Spear of Death and Demise}!"
However, in that moment, Nyx combined all her power into a single, gigantic spear made out of the power of Demise and Death, her two primary and strongest divine elements, and fired the giant spear at point blank.
CLAAAASH!
"GAAAGH?!"
The Nightmare Demon got the spear stuck to his throat, groaning and coughing blood, all while he defended with his green flames.
Nyx felt slightly stronger, that she was getting somewhere, anywhere at this point…
"Haaahh… Haahh.. Haahh…!"
However, she felt her Mana reserves about to reach zero.
She was growing exhausted.
If she tried taking a potion from her inventory, the Nightmare Demon would catch her off-guard.
She couldn't do that!
She flew around, evading the monster coming at her.
Her spear was corroding its jaws, but it was too slow, the damage was not accumulating as quickly as she wished!
"Should I make the spear explode? But if I do and he's still alive, then I'll be unable to retaliate without Mana!"
As she thought of that predicament…
♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫
"Huh?"
She heard a soothing melody, a guitar playing somewhere. It felt far away and yet so close. Her heart became calmer, her breathing steady.
"What is that music? Ah… Emily?"
She realized Emily was playing the guitar for her… Such melodies and soft notes, that relaxing and atmospheric tone.
It made her feel better, not just mentally, her body began to slowly heal…
And what's better, her Mana was regenerating quicker too!
"Emily is doing this for me…!"
Nyx gripped her fists tightly, there was still a chance of fighting.
Of winning!
She had friends here; she couldn't give up yet.
Not yet!
"I GOT YOU!"
And yet, as she thought of that…
"Ah!"
Nyx screamed, as the thing appeared above her, using one of its black portals again, and swinging its blazing claws against her.
SLAAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
"Nnnggh…! Aagh!"
Nyx screamed in agony as the green flames burned through her arms, which she reflectively used to defend, melting her skin and flesh.
She was terrified of the thought, but didn't had any other option, swinging her tail she cut both of her arms off before they were to burn the rest of her body.
SLASH!
"Aaagggh!"
As Nyx screamed in pain, the soothing melody became smaller and smaller, it wasn't strong enough to heal her faster.
She fell from the skies due to the pain, almost passing out due to the agony.
"TIME TO DIE!"
The Nightmare Demon was about to reach her.
She couldn't move anymore, there was nothing she could do at this point.
Was it all in vain?
"Mom… dad…"
Nyx cried tears of sadness; she wanted to see her parents.
"Where are you?"
"HAHAHAHAH! DIE! DIE! DIE!"
The Nightmare Demon's claws reached her.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
As she received all these attacks, Nyx fell into despair, calling for her parents.
And yet…
"Eh?"
She looked at the Nightmare Demon attacking her, suddenly, it became as small as an ant.
His flames were not green anymore, but purple, barely burning her.
"W-wha…?! Impossible! What… What happened?!"
The little Nightmare Demon couldn't believe it!
But someone within Nyx's Little Shadow Realm had woken up.
Two, in fact.
