Demonic Magic

Demonic magic is a magic that uses or collaborate to form magic with assistance from a demonic spirit or a demon. Demonic magic is far more prohibited than the dark magic, people who use demonic magic will be trialed and executed.

The demonic magic comprises the uses of demonic curses and demonic strengthening that strengthen people by giving sacrifices to the demon.

Oz’s body suddenly got enveloped by a small red vortex. The vortex slowly but steadily grew bigger, the vortex comprises of dense killing intent and malicious demonic aura.

“W-what the hell is happening!?” (Sen)

“R-Ren?” (Edraele)

“Sir Albus! Do you know what is happening!?” Alfred asked Albus in panic.

“I-I didn’t know anything myself, t-this is the first time I see something like this. It consists of a very dense murderous aura and demonic magic! We’ll get cursed if we get near the vortex!” Said Albus.

“Uncle! Stop the wagon!” Said Alfred to the coachman uncle.

*Sound of ires braking*

When the wagon stopped, Albus, Alfred, Sen, Edraele, and Peter jump out of the wagon.

“What should we do!?” Asked Sen.

Poof!

Suddenly a black cat and a white puppy appeared near Oz, they had a panic face when they saw Oz, and they immediately jumped to the red vortex. When they jumped, suddenly white and black color entered the red vortex, and the vortex’s power slows down a little, but it’s still not showing any sign of stopping.

Oz still closes his eyes, and he’s still at the cross-legs position, and slowly float a little in the middle of the red vortex.

“Ren! Wake up!” (Edreale)

“What the hell is happening to you, Ren!” (Sen)

**********************************

The battle continuous, even though Oz’s qi cultivation is currently at the god-king rank, he’s still not used with the power yet, and the demon emperor is far too powerful.

(Damn! This guy is far too powerful!) (Oz)

The demon emperor’s speed, strength, mana, and magic is all far above him. Oz already half-equipped all of the special cards he possesses, but his stats are still nowhere near the demon emperor.

But for the magician.

Having an opponent at this caliber is a challenge.

A challenge for him to test his limit.

And a chance for him to challenge the impossible.

(This is fun!)

The demon emperor fight with his scarlet red demonic sword that looks powerful and terrifying. Oz also transformed his [defiler of the banished, Ataraxia] to a sword.

Clash!

Oz’s and the demon emperor, Asmodeus’s sword clashed.

“Not bad, human! Even though this is only a part of my true strength, to be able to keep up with the battle until this point is remarkable! It’s not a waste to summon someone like you here!” (Demon Emperor, Asmodeus)

“What a great words you say there, demon,” (Oz)

(This is the first time I used this, but there is no harm to try, isn’t it?) (Oz)

Oz had been waiting for his chance to use this trump card of his. He threw four queen cards that possess the ability to give illusions to the demon emperor.

(The proud demon emperor won’t try to evade it, but whether catch or deflect it) (Oz)

“Hmph! What are you doing? This kind of toy won’t even scratch me!” Said the demon emperor arrogantly.

(But even if he deflects it, it’s enough. Because the queen magic card will affect the opponent by just getting near them) (Oz)

Oz evilly smirked.

“T-this… are these illusions?” Asked the demon emperor as he suddenly stopped his steps.

(Chance!) (Oz)

Oz threw all the attacking cards, including the jack card from the ten decks into the demon emperor, bombarding him with countless cards.

“D-did it works?” Oz muttered.

!!??

The demon emperor’s clothes got tattered, but it could be seen that he only got some scratches from those attacks.

The demon emperor laughed.

!!!!!

And suddenly the atmosphere changed, and the gravity felt heavier for several folds.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA, It’s been a long time since I felt pain! Good job human!” Said the demon emperor as his body emitted an enormous amount of demonic aura.

(F*%$! He’s way too strong!) (Oz)

Oz gritted his teeth.

“You’re so difficult to kill, demon,” Said Oz with a wry smile.

“Indeed, but forcing me to go to this extent is the proof of how troublesome you’ll be if I left you alone, you might be a bigger problem than the heroes,” (Demon Emperor)

“Don’t hold a grudge to me, magician. This is the end!” (Demon Emperor)

The enormous amount of demonic aura gathered at the demon emperor’s hand and formed a huge sphere.

“I’ve also sent some of my underlings to kill your real body and your comrades, goodbye magician. Try your best to survive,” (Demon Emperor)

(S&*%! Since he’s going to kill me anyway, let’s try to at least damage him a little!) (Oz)

Oz gathered all of his qi at one of his meridians and prepared 10 joker cards at both of his hands. Oz jumped to the demon emperor at a high speed and threw all of the joker cards to the demon emperor.

But the demon emperor ignores the thrown joker cards and the rushing Oz, he thought that it’ll be the same as the cards that Oz had thrown earlier. Less does he know that a qi cultivator had a sole technique that could destruct everything, a saint king realm will be able to destroy an island if he uses this technique, and who knows what a god-king realm would be able to destroy with this technique.

Self-destruct.

Oz also threw the cards that he never used because he didn’t sure what they use are. The joker card is said that it’ll give a random effect when it used, so basically, Oz’s gambling, he didn’t sure that he will die at this world where the demon emperor summoned him, but he couldn’t let the demon emperor win this easily.

“Try this, demon emperor!” (Oz)

“Die! Magician!” (Demon Emperor)

***************************

After about 20 minutes, the red vortex dissipates, and Oz’s body slowly descends.

Cough! Cough!

Oz suddenly vomits a mouthful of blood, and his arms, his legs, his ears, and his chest suddenly filled with a lot of scars.

“Ren!” Edraele shouted and approaches Oz in a hurry, Alfred, Sen, Albus, and Peter also approaches Oz to see his condition.

“Ren! Are you okay!?” (Sen)

“Ren! Wake up! What happened to you!?” (Alfred)

“-Mons” Oz slowly said.

“What?” (Alfred)

“Demons…” (Oz)

“Demons?” (Albus)

“W-we’re surrounded” Oz tried his best to mutter these words.

“K-Kids!!! Strange looking monsters are approaching this wagon!!!” (Coachman Uncle)

“What?” (Alfred)

Alfred, Sen, Edreale, Albus, and Peter get out of the wagon again and saw dozens of red and weird looking creatures are staring at the wagon.

“T-that… Don’t tell me…” (Albus)

“Demons, that is demons! Prepare yourselves, everyone!” Together with Alfred’s warning shout, the demons rushed to the wagon with high speed.

“Great lord of fire, grant me the heat of your great power, protect me and sting my enemies, Fire Ring!” (Albus)n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Albus chanted an arch fire magic, and a ring of fire circles their wagon. The demons hesitated when they saw the fire.

“This… Is this arch magic?” Asked Peter.

“Yes… But it won’t last long… Please prepare for the worst, everyone,” said Albus with a serious face.

(Ugh! He got me there!) (Oz)

By unknown means, the joker cards Oz threw couldn’t be deflected by the demon emperor, and it helped Oz to get near the demon emperor to detonate himself. But the explosion and the demon emperor’s attack happened simultaneously, both of them got hit.

(That crazy demon! He blocked the qi circulation at my meridians!) (Oz)

Oz’s furious because of his qi circulation had got blocked by something at his meridians. He couldn’t muster any qi because of the blocked circulation.

(I can’t recover my wounds quickly without my qi, all I have left is only mana!) (Oz)

Oz tried to lift his body, and he saw that Fenrir and Reo are lying beside him, Oz sees the burn marks on their fur, and his heart couldn’t help but turn sour.

“Fenrir! Reo! What happened!?” Oz tried to get near them.

“Everyone! The spell will soon run out! Prepare yourselves!” Albus’s words could be heard clearly at Oz’s ears.

(The demons had started to attack, huh) (Oz)

*Sound of swords clashing*

Oz could hear the sound of sword clashing outside the wagon, it meant that the battle had started.

(I can’t let them fight themself, I need to help them) (Oz)

Oz gritted his teeth and half-equip all of the special cards he possessed. Oz’s status got boosted greatly, and the pain started to disappear slowly.

(My body won’t be able to hold too long, I need to end this battle quickly!) (Oz)
