'I don't know why but I have this feeling of wanting to kill them. As if they are my natural enemies or something. Is it because of the fact that I am a blessed of the God of Light?' Armaros thought to himself as he looked at the approaching demonic beings nervously as he is able to see them more clearly.
There were 10 of them who were twice the size of a normal man and they were using clubs and the other demons, which ecompassed both men and women were charging with different melee weapons as they were running towards the town. They were also wearing armor but he can see places where they aren't protected as well.
His blood was boiling at the sight, his heart was beating fast as his breath became quick as he looked at them as the grip on his sword tightened as he tried to calm himself as he saw them rushing towards the wall as he tensed.
'There are so many. I might die.' Armaros thought to himself, even though he felt like he wanted to fight and kill them as if they are his natural enemies.
"Shit!" Armaros dashed to the side as the place he was standing at was bombarded with attacks which destroyed that part of the wall as he skid to a stop.
He looked at the place where he had just dodged from and the place was destroyed and the half of the wall was completely gone, as it was darkened and smoking as he looked at the approaching enemies.
He couldn't count them all but 6 of them, being the size of normal humans rushed out ahead of the group at great speeds as he grit his teeth at them as he also got ready. Then he had to jump down the wall as magical attacks hit the wall as he rushed towards them.
It was idiotic and downright suicidal to attack them head on, but he is sure that even if he were to head back into the village, there is a high chance that the panic would cause problems for him. And then there was the fact that he has this burning need to use his sword and kill every last one of them.
The demons who saw him coming towards them smiled at the sight as their blades gleamed under the sunlight as they charged with vigor. Armaros glared at them with hate as he increased his strength and rushed towards them as he reached the first one.
The demon has a sword which he swung at him as Armaros instead dodged it by an inch and increasing his strength and speed and sliced his arm and head clean off with an expertly executed sword slash, as he took advantage of the gaps in the armor on his arm.
He might not have the same physical strength or magical abilities as the rest of his family, but he is quite confident in his use of the family sword style which focused on quick and powerful strikes, meant to take on multitudes of enemies at once due to the nature of the battles that their progenitor fought in.
Black blood spewed out of the wound as he had to duck to dodge the attack of another demon, with the other four also charging towards him with a roar as he grit his teeth as he flooded his body with mana as he quickly deflected the strikes, momentarily stunning them as he gathered mana and then impaled all five of them with blades made of holy light.
This was a technique that he had come up with which he had made to use when he is surrounded by enemies so that he can quickly damage them as a way to both protect himself and make way for him to escape from them.
They gasped when the blades hit them as they scream out in pain as he was also feeling it as he roared and with mana flooding his entire body decapitated them quickly as he dashed in the direction of the village as he skid to a stop as he looked at the approaching enemies.
By this time they had all seen what he had don't to their comrades, and then they all roared as they charged with more vigor as the ground were shaking from the running of the demons.
"Kill the human!"
"Take his head!"
Some demons shouted as they ran towards him as he glared at them with his sword ready in the family fighting stance. He looked at them all as his body was ready to fight and his Mana was still there as he was going to make sure that he will take down as many of them as he can.
"Let's see how all of you can get to th—" Armaros said before the sound of multiple explosions caused him to pause.
He was suddenly filled with dread as he looked behind as his eyes widened in horror as the village was being bombarded by elemental attacks from the sky as he looked up and saw a good number of demons with wings attacking the village and he is also able to hear the cries of the villagers.
"No." Armaros said in shock and despair before he looked at the group as they were closer.
The demons were now close to him and he knew that if he stayed in place, they would overwhelm him. And so he strengthened his entire body and charged at them with a roar as he felt his body BURN from the use of Mana, just like in that village which had been attacked by the bandits.
His senses sharpened, the world became slower for him as he felt great pain shoot through his entire body as his anger surfaced like always as he cracked the ground as he dashed towards them.
Some of the damons had launched elemental attacks as he had strengthened himself, but they also shot demonic energy at him as well. But he was able to dodge them all and charge towards them with a roar of him own, one of great anger.
The demons were obviously surprised by the sudden increase in power and the fact that he had dodged the magical attacks as he neared them as the one he was charging towards swung her sword at him. But to him the sword was coming towards him much slower due to his increased abilities as he sliced through her hand right through her elbow as he dropkicks the demon on her right and sends him back into the group as they were suddenly pushed back.
The demoness scream in pain as she lashed out with her tail which he noticed has armor as well as he quickly dodged it and the subsequent attacks by the other demons as he blocked the overhead slash as the ground cracked as he grit his teeth as he kicked the demon away.
He was promptly attacked by the other demons as he jumped back as he had to weave through the slashes from two demons as he then narrowly dodged the club of one of the larger demons as it destroyed the ground and cracked it.
He didn't get a chance to attack as he was immediately attacked by the others as he saw many of the demons directly going towards the village as he had his focus taken by the fact that he wanted to stay alive.
Even if he is using his mana to strengthen himself like he had done at the village, this time it was more troublesome as he has to be in that state for more than a few seconds and the demons, while being slower than he is, is able to attack from with greater numbers.
His ears were ringing, he felt his blood pumping and his bloodlust for the demons as he narrowly dodged a surprise attack which took some of his front hair as increased his power and vanished from the spot which surprised the demons.
But the next second the heads of the demons that were attacking him flew into the air as Armaros was dashing over the ground with his eyes glowing as he was using more mana to make himself stronger.
With his increased speed, he is able to kill more enemies as even with their numbers, he managed to kill 1 out of 4 demons as he attacked, but he was also feeling greater pain due to the increased use of Mana.
'Focus focus focus. Focus on the demons! Not on the pain!' Armaros shouted to himself in his mind as he sent a punch covered in holy light and buried his first into the chest of the demon.
He then proceeded to throw the demon to the right as they were hit as he used the opportunity to attack and decapitate them. Only for his senses to start blaring as he looked to his right and saw lightning coming towards him as his eyes widened.
He tilted his body and narrowly dodged the attack, through it destroyed a small part of his armor. Only for a giant hammer to attack him as he eyes widened. He only had enough time to raise his left arm use mana to protect himself as the hammer hit him... hard.
Armaros felt a tremor pass through his entire body as he felt his bones shake as he was lifted off the ground and launched into the air as he felt like he has been hit by a truck. Only for a fireball to come screaming toward him as he created a light sphere and hit the fireball as he was sent flying by the resulting explosion as he was blasted back over the walls of village.
He crashed into the ground as he rolled on the ground as the mana he was circulating through his body stopped as he managed to get a hold of himself as he got up. Only to cough out blood as he spit it out as he hit his chest a bit.
But then his eyes widened when he wasn't able to hear anything as he blinked, just a small ringing as he made a noise with his mouth, but he wasn't able to hear it. His left ear felt like it was ringing and his left arm didn't have any feeling in it as he looked at it in surprise, though he was glad that he is able to move it.
He immediately grabbed a healing potion and downed it as he felt it heal his body as he gulped as he looked at the wall as he knew that the demons will surely attack. But then he remembered some demons had gone past him, but he didn't find them, though he could hear the screams of the villagers, even if they were faint.
He looked between the wall and the inner village before he grit his teeth and charges towards the place where he was hearing the screams as he strengthened himself with Mana as he ran and jumped over the houses as he saw a very horrifying sight.
The demons which had managed to get into the village have already demolished some houses, and he could also see dead bodies and blood splattered on places. Even through the guards and other villagers were fighting and doing their best. The demons were able to fend them off.
His eyes quickly darted around the place before he saw a child and mother about to be killed by a demoness as she was laughing out loud. He chose his target as he immediately ran over the rooftops and jumped and feel towards the demoness.
And before she could bring any harm to the two humans, he sliced her clean in half, right through the middle as she took a second to realise what happened before her two halves fell on their respective side while spewing out black blood.
"Run! Hide!" Armaros shouted to the mother and daughter as they nodded and ran away.
He looked at the sky and saw the flying demons attacking the village with their magic as he grabbed ahold of a wooden pole, broke off its top and threw it at one of the demons after he had increased its durability.
The attack was a succes as the attack hit and pierced the belly of the demons as he roared out in pain as Armaros smirked at the sight, even though he was now under the sight of the other flying demons.
"Ahahaha..." Armaros laughed dryly, delirious from the pain and constant attacks as he heard the sound of a building being destroyed.
'I am going to go insane.' Armaros thought to himself as he then dashed to take care of more demons.
