Chapter 994: Joint Efforts [Pt 2]



The air crackled with tension as Aria and I braced ourselves for the intensified battle that lay ahead.

Aria, her eyes blazing with determination, moved with lightning-like speed, her magic-infused blade slicing through the air.

~BOOOOMMM!~

Bolts of lightning danced along the length of her weapon, illuminating the room with flickering bursts of electrifying energy.

She darted in and out of the demon's reach, her strikes precise and powerful.

The demon, now empowered by the dark forces it had harnessed, swung its colossal fists with even greater strength and speed.

~WHUM!~

The ground trembled beneath its weight as it launched itself at Aria, aiming to crush her under its monstrous might.

But Aria, with her agility and mastery of the sword, evaded the onslaught with acrobatic finesse, narrowly avoiding each bone-shattering blow.

Meanwhile, I scoured my satchel for any item that could aid us in this desperate battle.

I pulled out a gleaming silver amulet, swiftly pressing it's center button.

Activating its function, a barrier of shimmering light surged around Aria, bolstering her defenses against the onslaught of the demon's attacks.

~BOOOOOOMMM!~

That hit would have been dangerous. Fortunately, I was able to activate the barrier around her in time

With the barrier providing temporary respite, Aria gathered her focus, calling upon her inner reserves of power.

She unleashed a torrential onslaught of lightning and light magic, sending crackling arcs of energy cascading toward the demon.

"GUAARGGGGGHHHHH!!!"

The bolts struck the beast with searing force, eliciting agonized roars that reverberated through the room.

But the demon was not so easily defeated. It summoned its own dark magic, conjuring a swirling vortex of shadows that threatened to envelop us both.

Aria's eyes widened with urgency as she leaped backward, narrowly avoiding being ensnared by the tendrils of darkness.

I, too, swiftly retreated, knowing that our lives depended on maintaining distance from the abyss of darkness.

Seeking to regain the upper hand, I retrieved a small vial containing a vibrant, glowing liquid.

The liquid pulsated with raw elemental energy, promising a temporary surge in power.

'It only affects the physical functions of a person, but that's still incredibly useful.'

If her physical aspects were boosted, she would be able to generate more energy to fight.

If she could pour out just enough power, then...!!!

"Aria!" I yelled, drawing her attention towards me instantly.

Without hesitation, I hurled the vial toward Aria, who deftly caught it mid-air.

With a swift motion, she uncorked the vial and consumed its contents, her form briefly shimmering with ethereal light.

'It worked!' I beamed from a distance.

Now empowered by the elixir, Aria launched herself back into the fray with renewed vigor.

Her strikes became swifter and more ferocious, each blow accompanied by a dazzling display of lightning and radiant light.

She maneuvered around the demon, exploiting its momentary vulnerabilities, striking with lightning-fast precision.

I continued to support Aria from a distance, utilizing the array of magical items at my disposal.

I pulled out a small cylindrical device, adorned with intricate wires and a volatile core within., and activated its function.

A burst of energy emanated from it, forming a protective shield around Aria, warding off the demon's desperate counterattacks.

"UWOOOAAHHHHHH!!!" At this point, out opponent summoned its darkest powers, enveloping itself in a cloak of shadow that amplified its strength and resilience.

Its attacks grew more frenzied and devastating, threatening to overpower even Aria's lightning-infused onslaught.

"Haaaaaaaaa!!!" With a battle cry that echoed through the chamber, Aria unleashed her most potent spell yet, channeling all of her remaining energy into a single, concentrated burst of light and lightning.

~VWUUUUSSSSHHHH!~

The blinding explosion engulfed the demon, searing through its shadowy defenses and scorching its flesh.

"GUUAAAARGHHHHHHHH!!!"

It writhed in agony, its monstrous form convulsing with the intense pain inflicted upon it.

Sensing the opportunity, I, too, unleashed the full might of my arsenal, bombarding the demon with a barrage of explosive orbs.

~BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!~

The demon fought back with its last vestiges of strength, its attacks growing more desperate and erratic.

But Aria and I had become a synchronized force, moving as one, each supporting the other flawlessly.

We anticipated the demon's now sluggish movements, evading its strikes with calculated precision and retaliating with devastating counterattacks.

Finally, as our combined assault reached its crescendo, the demon's resistance crumbled.

"GU-urrghhhh..."

Its form convulsed one last time before collapsing to the ground, a mere husk of its former monstrous self.

"This should be enough..." I threw a tiny orb in it's direction, watching as the object clashed with the enemy's crimson skin.

And then—

~BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!~

—it exploded, completely swallowed in the destructive eruption.

The explosion only lasted for a moment, though. Soon enough, only the hissing sounds of smoke filled my ears, and that soon vanished as well.

The room fell silent, save for our ragged breaths and the fading echoes of battle.

Aria and I stood together, battered and weary, but triumphant.

Sweat mingled with the dirt and grime that covered our bodies, evidence of the intense struggle we had endured.

We shared a silent moment, acknowledging the victory we had achieved through sheer determination and unwavering teamwork.

"Good work." I smiled at her, receiving a similar sentiment from her facial reaction.

"You're better than I thought." She responded.

"Hehe. Thanks."

This would have been really tough if I had faced the monster on my own.

'Well, tough... not impossible.'

As the dust settled and the echoes of battle faded, we turned to our companions at the entrance.

They stared at us in awe, admiration gleaming in their eyes.

"L-Lewis, Aria... you did it!" Larry seemed especially moved by it all.

'Well, we actually pulled something epic off, didn't we?'

But I wasn't in a hurry to celebrate yet

We had succeeded, but the journey was far from over.

'Now, for the grand prize...'
