SWNOVELXO Chapter 400: Escaped
Morax seemed like a weak demon, so many did not know why they called him unstoppable.
It was his own creation, unlike Dravor, who had dragon blood in his genes. Morax absorbed countless dragon soul cores, refined them into his body, and made himself more than just a demon.
He could not transform like Dravor did, but he did have mastery over the elements, each one was once a core; all he wanted was the last core he could not attain before, the darkness dragon, who was protected by the darkness spirit.
He glared at the hero of taming and then at the dragon, who was no longer like the dragons he knew; this one was more primal, stronger, and had just as much mana as three of the cores he had collected.
His eyes held a greed that could not be contained, but he was also weary; he needed to leave, catching the dragon needed planning, especially one so strong.
What he had to do now was keep the array safe, just enough for everyone to leave.
The dragon suddenly used the strongest of its breaths, and the shields of the four elements suddenly weakened.
"Damn just how much power can you add to those beasts!"
Morax called out, but that attack was able to reduce his four runes' power by half.
[That was your best? Are you sure you are not taking it easy on this demon?] Logan asked he was expecting the attack to get passed the shield so he could use the darkness elements corrosion to use the follow up skills.
[Strong shields, never has my power failed, this demon is using strange magic… I can feel it does not belong to him.] Narok replied, he could not understand why his ultimate skill did not work.
[Must have something that blocks darkness, then, they did come prepared to do something in this island.] Logan gave his best guess on what was happening, even if it was not the correct one.
Instead of relying on Narok's flames, Logan took out his whip, it would have to be the old fashion way, his way.
"Well then, I wanted to test my powers, but you, you had to ruin it." Logan called out, he created three strands in his whip, one dark tendril, one of light, and the last, a wild but powerful strand of wind."
Logan jumped out of cover and grabbed onto the foot of one of the demons using the dark tendril. He then hurled it into the shield, and the guy began to spasm as the shield seemed to be from the electric domain, hurting all those that touched it with powerful electrical arcs.
"Damn merciless, can't even control the shield to help your own," Logan smirked, he grabbed another demon, Marok understood what he was about to do and let the body be tossed inside.
That is when Logan pulled on it to get himself inside, using the wind below his feet, he hastened the jump and finally entered near Marok's field of vision.
"Didn't think I would do that, huh?" Logan wrapped Marok's leg with the wind string to cause as much damage.
The demon general did not let it grab him though, he blinked out of harm's way and used two bolts, one of fire and another of ice, the two collided near Logan, who had to jump out of the way.
But Logan was fine in the end; he just wanted to come closer for one thing, and that was the teleportation array. If he could keep the generals here, then even the darkness spirit might help him defeat them.
That was his goal from the start, and yet it failed.
Marok looked at Logan with a smile.
"Too bad, hero, we just came here for the crystals; they absorbed plenty of the energy we needed."
Logan was about to use his whip again, but it was stopped, the strand that was heading to the teleportation array to destroy the crystals which fed it were held on by Thalrak who managed to come back at the last second.
"Nice trick hero, we are done here though, don't want to overstay our welcome, now that the darkness spirit is back."
He let go of the strand of light magic and held on to his ribs, where a large wound was visible.
"Marok, let's go, get the damn array going, the tamer has three damn dragons, we are sitting sucks here without the others, I have the stones lets go."
Logan smirked at the sound of the comment, but still did not want to let them go.
"Damn it Narok use your breath quit playing with the shields!"
The large dragon swiped its tail again to finish the rest of the demons trying to climb on its back.
Logan tried using his whip to stop the two demons, but the two, obviously mage-type demons, quickly escaped; they did not even have to touch the array to get out.
The only ones trying to escape through the array were the remaining demons. Logan lashed out at the crystals, breaking them and leaving four demons without a way out.
Two of them went berserk, but Logan quickly dealt with them. He enhanced the tendril of light with Holy Nova and slice the two apart.
The other two got on their knee and they both began to beg for some reason.
It was a first for Logan, who had always known that demons were suicidal in a way.
"You two, why are you not fighting?"
Logan asked, and the two looked fearfully at him, but they did not respond right away.
When they did, though, they used another language.
"Stop, stop, I do not understand you!" Logan cried out, he kept his whip ready, after a few seconds Narok finished his situation with the remaining demons that evaded him, his change of size was a bigger issue then Logan had thought.
With the two demons still bowed, Logan looked around the forest. There, his companions were coming closer, he just waved to indicate he was fine, and then turned to the two new prisoners.
