Crayman didn't have a system, despite knowing about it. And since he understood the mysterious power, Crayman's chances of winning had turned slimr. A devil against a knight with a system only spelled doom on his na. And when King Arthur would defeat him, Crayman's barrier would lose its effect. That event would leave rleen and vulnerable for the next fight, if this progression still immobilised .
"So this is the power of the system. And here I thought it did nothing besides a display. Now that I've realised it, I have nothing else to fear," King Arthur uttered, as he stared at his hands.
The bluish screen erged in front of King Arthur's face, telling him his increased numbers. Magique nerfed my character because of a glitch in turning this world into reality. I should be the one to inherit that system since I was the strongest player. And that system ca from , which I spread through Green Knight.
However, that power ca biting back towards . Despite having a system, I couldn't compare myself to King Arthur.
As soon as King Arthur completed his inspection, he glared at Crayman. He clenched his hands and lunged for another attack, with the system increasing his damage. Two hits against Crayman could render the demon motionless afterward. Judging by Crayman's expression, he also knew that would happen.
King Arthur didn't mind the familiars surrounding Crayman and went straight at him. And even if those attacked the knight, I doubted it would deal damage to stop him. With that increased power, nothing could hold King Arthur back.
Crayman used his spells defensively instead of attacking. Those magic circles surrounding him turned into a shield, but unlike the one in front of . That barrier blocked one strike coming from King Arthur. But the second blitz pierced through the wall, punching Crayman on his face.
The demon tumbled backward like a rolling plant in the desert. Crayman finally ended his painful adventure when a boulder stopped his montum, crushing it into pieces. A loud groan ca from the demon, followed by cracking laughter.
Even though he didn't have the upper hand, Crayman still found the situation amusing.
'Was it always like this for every demon?' I thought, but nobody told the answer.
Within a few seconds, I could finally move my body. But every step I took stretched my muscles into oblivion and sent to hell. It was as if an imaginary fire burned my body into crisps, and eventually left dead in the abyss.
Despite these sensations, I crawled my way towards rleen. I checked for any wounds she had received from the battle while praying she didn't have any. Thankfully, rleen only suffered cuts far from her vital organs.
"Everything's going to be okay, rleen. I will get you out of here," I mumbled, while caressing rleen's face.
I didn't care if the throbbing pain would spread throughout my body. As long as I could touch rleen, it was good enough for .
"Let's just wait until my transformation ends.. Until then, please fight through the pain, rleen."
I averted my gaze from rleen and focused on the fight. If I wanted to escape this place, I needed to study King Arthur's patterns. He was like a boss knight that we needed to defeat inside the dungeon. But compared to the ga, our lives were on the line. And the stakes were even higher than before.
I would leave our mission behind, despite losing Fenrir. There was no way in hell I would lose rleen from this fight and accomplish nothing afterward. We had already lost a valuable mber. I didn't want to see my partner die in front of .
The battle resud, with King Arthur launching himself onwards. Crayman imdiately rose from the ground and conjured multiple spells once again. Those familiars also joined the fray and made a shield out of their bodies. And the creatures who could cast magic sent out their arcane, eventually sacrificing themselves for Crayman.
Luckily, those deaths slowed down the rampaging King Arthur. Even though he used his Excalibur to breach Crayman's defences, it was still insufficient. Those creatures made the knight work for his treat before killing the demon.
However, King Arthur shoved those beings as if they were nothing but pebbles. Within a few seconds, those creatures had almost turned into dust with his Excalibur.
As soon as King Arthur erged at Crayman's fore, he slashed the demon. Those magic circles also exploded upon contact, dragging the two into the abyss. It didn't take too long before an explosion covered the area, dragging the pair with them. Thankfully, the barrier took the blast and shielded the residents.
The detonation received so casualties near the city, but not enough to annihilate everyone.
A cloud of smoke appeared in the area and filled the town. Luckily, the smog didn't enter our shield and remained outside our space. It took a few minutes before the fus disappeared. And when that happened, one man remained victorious. The other being rested before him, glaring at King Arthur.
The knight hopelessly rose from the ground, cracking dozens of his bones. King Arthur's silver plates and shields shattered into a million pieces. Even his skin revealed so cuts, which ca from the blast.
When he stood before the demon, King Arthur summoned his sword. "No matter what trickery you use, I will always be stronger than you. Demons are monsters governing the dark side of this planet. And I will eliminate all of you and create the peace I desire."
No matter how hard I tried to understand his words, King Arthur remained a twisted person. Even though he had the option of stopping the war, that knight wanted a holocaust. And those beings involved were the demons who desired nothing but peace.
King Arthur crushed Crayman's dead body as he stomped it into particles. The man had already left our world, but King Arthur continued smacking Crayman on the face. He didn't care about Crayman's corpse as he relentlessly tortured the dead man.
Since Crayman died, the barrier he created went away with him. It slowly faded into nothingness, revealing our vulnerable self. rleen held my hand tighter than ever before, knowing the events that would co soon.
"No more tricks. Just you and , Arthur. You're the only threat standing on my way," King Arthur said, as he leisurely made his way in our direction.
The big guy had forgotten that there was still Abaddon's daughter running on the loose. She would avenge us, fallen heroes, if we failed this match. Lilith was also currently the strongest mber of our team, right next to my sword.
However, that thought would change right now. After finishing the process of this arcane, my system finally alerted . I didn't know what Crayman had in store for , but I had to thank him soon.
That demon just wanted to see the world burn.. King Arthur killed Fenrir right in front of .. I couldn't wait to take his life with my own hands.
King Arthur zood straight in my direction and aid his sword at the two of us. rleen couldn't cast any spells for the ti being, while I just recovered from my transformation. But that was enough for to fight this madman and send him to the other side.
Before King Arthur could even reach my neck, I waved my hand and projected a blast. The shockwave was strong enough to shove the knight backward, forcing him to roll against a boulder. The rock exploded into a million bits, telling how powerful I had beco.
When King Arthur regained his balance, he widened his eyes in disbelief. "And here I thought I killed Crayman for good.. Little did I know he sent out a devil kid against ."
It almost felt like King Arthur's words flattered rather than mocking . Even though I had no relationships with Crayman, that devil gave power. And it was what he had ntioned previously to .
Crayman wanted nothing more but chaos in this world. After giving this power, my revenge would co soon enough!
Since a demon granted this strength, I also inherited so of Crayman's powers. My system listed all those skills for , including those I didn't know. But I had no ti to browse them since King Arthur and I were still fighting.
I grew obsidian wings behind my back, akin to a raven. These feathers growing behind my back had a mind of their own and flew to places I wanted to go. My system also ntioned that these wings could serve as a barrier against so elental attacks. I could also use it to attack my enemies, including the knight below my feet.
Despite my changes, I still remained in my humanoid shape. Like the demons near the city, I didn't grow horns or turn my skin on a scale. I was still my usual self, with the power enhancing my body.
