Chapter 39: Chapter 39 – Eternal Chains

Light trailed from Losef's eyes as he moved at a blinding speed to intercept the man's fist. Losef's shield flashed a golden white light at the intense impact from the man's fist. With an explosion, Losef lunged his spear as it blurred from Astrid's vision. The hardened spear tip penetrated the demon’s shoulder as the force sent it hurtling through the air.

The demon clambered back onto its feet, the sneer still present, as if someone had carved it from stone.

With a thud, two beastly creatures shot out from the other passages. Four legs, with dense, jagged fur, lunged toward Losef. The other towards the middle of the group. Rob and Daniel quickly intercepted, sending the creature back with a small whimper.

"We'll separate. Losef and I will handle the big guy. The rest of you deal with the mutts." Daniel said and dashed forward in a storm. His iris glowed with multiple distinct lines, his eye twitched, as if it was trying to find something.

Astrid and the others immediately focused on the two beasts. Astrid used Crash unreservedly. Multiple explosions rattled its head. With a shake, it bounded forward, as did the other one. Fire and powerful arrows surged around her, but she focused only on the incoming beast at her side.

Astrid tried creating an illusion in front, but the beast simply sprinted through it.

Leena stepped forward as she lunged her umbrella forward, piercing toward the mutt's shoulder. It tried to dodge, but Leena's wrist flicked and cut past its thick fur. Astrid shot a dagger forward. It blasted past its fur, but stopped at the beast's skin. With a clang, it fell to the floor.

Damn, it can't get past its damned skin. What is made of?

Astrid immediately ditched the blades and grabbed a handful of obsidian needles.

"Leena, can you stop it for a second?" Astrid shouted.

"Put your trust in me, my lady!" Leena said as metal emerged from her skin. A long metallic shield covered her arm completely. With a humph, she let go of her weapon as the enormous beast tore towards them. Metal spread from her boot, and clawed its way into the ground, sprouting like roots. With a clash, Leena screamed as her arms latched around its neck. Her body didn't move an inch.

Perfect. Astrid grinned. She placed a Mind Barrier around Leena and controlled the needles to hover above her head. Her mind strained as she shot them forward. The monster tried to close its eyes, but Astrid forced them open and then shoved the needles straight into its eyes. The beast thrashed around. It heard the fighting from Daniel and Losef and careened towards their direction in panic.

Daniel dodged to the side as the beast slammed into the demon. He swung his curved blade and separated the beast's head from its body.

"That's one way of dealing with it." Brett said, as he stood up from the other beast, hot blood pooled out of its neck.

They rushed forward as they helped Daniel and Losef deal with the humanoid demon. Leena wiped the blood from her mouth after the tussle with the monster. The melee class leapt forward. Leena made sure that she could always block for Astrid.

Next was a full frontal assault from the melee. Daniel, Brett, and Losef made a frightening trio. Astrid's mind relentlessly thrashed into the demon. She waited for moments to release her needles. One pierced his eyeball. With an ear piercing roar, he placed his hand on the ground. The chinking of chains rung like bells as Astrid and the other’s, had their legs coiled like a constricting boa.

Astrid could feel the mana from her container bleed out as it seeped through her pores. Daniel’s leg suddenly broke free, with a slash of his sword, it screamed through the air and dug itself into the demon’s throat. His eyes widened in surprise. Daniel’s wrist suddenly changed, moving to the side with a gentle push. The demon’s head was separated from his body.

Daniel wiped the blood from his mouth as he held his ribs. His eyes peered off into the three different passageways.

“We’ll rest here for the day–night, whatever it is right now.” Daniel shook his head.

Rachelle rushed over and lifted his shirt. Instead of hovering her hand over it, she positioned it on the skin. The skin turned bright orange as light pervaded his innards. His face remained the same as he ignored the scorching pain.

“That’s all I can do until I upgrade my Skill. We should hire a proper healer, Daniel.” Rachelle gnawed her lip.

“Stop your nagging.” Brett said. He held the enormous chain from the demon’s neck. “Here, it’ll be something good.”

Rachelle nodded as she turned to Astrid. Astrid placed it into her hands as the information popped up within her head.
