Chapter 157: 1 Month Later III

"Got you" A terrifying amount of pressure came out of my body in the form of blood lust and uncontrolled battle intent.

In a single instant, everyone who had tried to attack me with a method that would have required close combat was thrown flying several meters away without being able to resist due to the sudden appearance of a shock wave this strong. They were startled and frozen while being in mid-air, allowing me to swoop past a few while detaching 3 of their heads from their bodies.

The man who stood furthest with the calmest and most powerful demeanor instantly panicked. His eyes had widened and his mouth had turned agape and the display of body control, magic control, and strength control the 'Demon' showed.

While he had heard of the 'Demon' who had recently gained a lot of attraction, he did not believe any of the rumors he was hearing. While some would simply praise the 'Demon' for cleansing the streets from these criminals, others voiced their concerns about the matter.

Rumors said that whenever the Demon would see someone's bounty on the bounty board, they would almost instantly go for them. They did not know if it did it for the money, the pleasure of killing, or for another obscure reason they did not know about, but one thing they did know was that they did not want to get on the bad side of 'it' after realizing how strong 'it' was.

There had even been reports showing that the 'Demon', later known as the mercenary Lilith had brought in the head of two Imperial Knights and an Imperial Wizard in the same night, which showed that they must have reached the Ascended Levels of the Imperial ranks or an A++ Rank for short.

The Ascended levels were as follows: -

Lowest

-Bronze 3 Tiers

-Silver 3 Tiers

-Gold 3 Tiers

-Platinum 3 Tiers

-Diamond 5 Tiers

Highest

Usually after reaching the Diamond tier 5, one would immediately ascend into the Liquidus stage.

One thing I personally did not understand was how big of a difference each rank truly was. With every single tier added, the person would gain a dramatic increase in power, the largest increase being in the Diamond Rank.

While one could decide to upgrade to the liquids stage right away, their foundations would become weak, and with weak foundations, you cannot build a large or heavy building on top.

From what I had seen so far, most people stop traversing the tiers after reaching the Platinum tier 1, but what do I know.

Anyway, back at the battlefield which was really just a public road we had taken over for our battle, the man started to look at me wearily while slowly taking out his greatsword from within his storage ring.

I did not pay the man much attention even though I could still see him. Instead, I ran around digging all the spells and attacks as if I was dancing around the battlefield while at the same time, I swung my sword every now and then which led to low thuds being echoed in the ears of the comrades of the headless bodies.

"YOU!" The same man with a Warhammer swung towards me with all his power, however, the moment he felt my gaze locked on him, he immediately knew that death would be the only thing two await him if he did not retreat.

*Swish*

He could only watch as the katana had gotten dangerously close to cutting him in half. It was actually so close to cutting him in half that it had cut into his armor, barely scraping his skins before he could get out of harm's way.

Seeing that were was a little bit of blood coming out of the scratch, he could not help but shudder, yet the next moment he could not feel anything other than the sensation of his head slowly descending from his neck onto the ground.

'Illusion magic is really useful' I chuckled inwardly as I twirled my entire body on the soles of my feet while slashing vertically and cutting the man with the stealth skill in two before he could even attack me.

Not wanting blood to be spurt on me, cast a dark blue flame with the gluttony affinity within it, making it consume his entire existence whole.

However, my eyes narrowed and ignored the euphoria entering my body as I felt the threatening aura coming towards me from behind. This aura was threatening and by far the strongest in the group of people who had decided to ambush me.

My eyes turned cold while waving my hand towards the men nonchalantly. A few dozen elemental sniper bullets made out of air and fire appeared and shot down the remaining ambushers to death, clearly showing that I was simply playing with them this whole time until the boss came to fight me on his own.

I swiftly landed on the ground on my toes before switching to the sole of my foot and twirling around to face the man who was charging at me with a great sword held tightly within his hands.

His dark brown eyes glimmered in the moonlight yet they also shone with their own fiery determination and killing intent. The moment he saw me twirling to face him he was about to slash towards me, however, within the split second where he would make that decision, he jumped back while blocking his chest with his giant sword as a wave of danger made every hair on his body stand up.

Before he even know what had happened, a light flashed and the 'demon' he was fighting had struck him towards the center of his chest with a foot covered in dark blue flames. The flames were hot enough to cause him to sweat, whole also melting his orichalcum blade with made his expression of anger freeze.

'Doesn't orichalcum have a really hight melting point?' He couldn't help but inwardly shiver while imaging what would have happened if the foot had hit him.

'Sturdy' I inwardly commented after seeing that he wasn't pushed too far back

He did not have much time to enter his dream world however as in the next second, I bent my knees and launched myself off him, and somersaulted mid-air. Meanwhile, the man landed and took a few steps back from the momentum of the hit, yet he still stood firmly up.

As he looked up, he watched as 8 different ethereal tentacles came out of my back while still being mid-air.. By the time I had finally landed, the sharp-ended tentacles pierced through the air and shot towards the man with the speed of bullets making it so he could barely defend against them.
