Chapter 146 Fratricide
boom!
The subsequent explosion was even more violent than the previous one, and the shockwave echoed throughout the room, as if the entire building was shaking.
'not good! '
Reina tried to shout, but he couldn't even open his mouth.
Ding!
His body trembled violently, as if something had entered his body and disrupted his power.
He used the Demon Barrier to protect himself, absorbing some of the impact, but the force of the explosion still made him shake violently.
boom!
Anne was also affected and tried to keep her balance.
A wave of nausea rose from the bottom of their stomachs, as if something was disrupting the order within their bodies.
"Uh!"
The residual magic in the air shimmered, creating an eerie atmosphere.
'Divine attribute?'
Holy attribute, the greatest enemy of demons.
"what……"
Reina took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, risking revealing his location.
"Uh……"
Anne gritted her teeth; her defenses were no match for Reina's, and she endured the pain.
"You bastard..."
The sneer on her face had vanished, replaced by an expression of anger.
However, Reina's heart was filled with even deeper worries.
'Pique.'
One of their members was killed in the explosion. Half-demons typically possess extraordinary regenerative abilities, but this is countered by the Holy attribute.
As the dust settled, a voice echoed in the room, carrying a mocking and distant tone. "How do you feel?"
The voice was full of sarcasm, and its cold and hateful tone sent a chill down Reina's spine.
【Demonization - Demon Blade】
Reina wasted no time and immediately activated his skill, launching an attack in the direction from which the sound came.
Whoosh!
The blade of demonic energy flew out, carrying immense power, and nearly destroyed the walls of the research lab.
Swish!Swish!
However, to Reina's shock, there was nothing there. Only some pieces of equipment were scattered on the ground.
'what? '
Boom!
Suddenly, Reina's keen senses picked up a sound of something hitting the floor right below them.
'capsule?'
It was an arrow with a capsule attached to it.
hiss!
Then, the gas began to diffuse from the capsule, rapidly spreading around them.
"what……"
As the gas spread, Rainer and Anne began to have difficulty breathing. The demonic power within them was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
The very forces that once strengthened their bodies are now turning against them.
"What is this... Ha..."
"I...I can't breathe..."
The psychedelic effects of darkness and gas made them increasingly vulnerable.
Reina's demonic transformation ability quickly dispelled the surrounding gas, but the attackers' tactics became clear. The gas was merely a tool to distract, create fear and chaos. With Reina's keen senses, he understood their intentions.
“Annie, come closer to me!” Reina shouted, trying to remain calm.
However, in the darkness, they could not see each other. The gas and darkness intertwined, blurring their senses.
They could vaguely see figures moving within the gas. It seemed the shadows were playing tricks on them.
"How do you feel? The very thing that gave you power is now turning against you." The voice echoed in their minds.
"You scoundrel..."
Reina was furious and wanted to retaliate, to curse.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, before he could react, an arrow glowing with faint magical energy pierced the air and hurtled toward him. He instinctively activated his demonic barrier to defend himself.
Clang!
The arrow struck the barrier, sparks flying. Although he successfully blocked the attack, it put Reina under even more psychological pressure.
“Rainer! Where did the arrow come from?” Anne’s voice echoed in the darkness.
“I don’t know. Stay alert!” Reina replied, trying to hide his panic despite his inner turmoil.
The fact that Pique had just exploded right in front of them was enough to prove that the attackers had the ability to subdue or even kill them when they were off guard.
Whoosh!
However, they had no time to catch their breath. With those words, magical arrows rained down on them.
These arrows weren't particularly powerful; their demonic skin was enough to defend against ordinary attacks.
Thud! Thud! Clang!
With their enhanced physical abilities, approaching those of the top-ranked students in the academy, they were able to barely withstand these attacks even with their senses impaired.
But those arrows that shimmered with blue-gold light were different.
Boom! Boom!
The blue-gold magic arrows mixed in with the other arrows will explode once they hit them.
Each explosion leaves wounds on their bodies.
Worse still, they didn't even know where the attacker was, and he seemed unaffected by the darkness.
The arrows always found their targets with pinpoint accuracy, as if the enemy knew their location from the very beginning.
'Damn it! Where is he?'
Whoosh! Boom!
Another arrow struck Reina's shoulder; the explosion caused him pain as if his bones were breaking, and heat rapidly spread throughout his body.
"Hold!"
The damage caused by the exploding arrows was extremely severe, leaving Reina in excruciating pain. The relentless attacks, the chaotic effects of the gas, and the fear of Pike's death pushed him to the brink of collapse.
“Come out, you bastard!” Reina’s roar echoed in the room, his anger transforming into a near-mad determination. He could no longer tolerate the attackers lurking in the shadows, mocking them; he was going to destroy them.
【Demonization - Demon Blade】
Reina unleashed his demonic energy without reservation. Primal, chaotic energy blades erupted from his body in all directions, instantly engulfing the previously dim room in a storm of demonic energy.
Whoosh! Clang! Whoosh!
Blade clashed against walls, floor, and ceiling. Blinded by rage, Reina attacked haphazardly, creating a devastating storm in an attempt to force out the hidden enemy.
The attackers, who had held the advantage, were now forced to switch to defense. The arrow barrage temporarily ceased, as if the attackers were dodging Reina's relentless onslaught.
“What happened?” Annie’s voice was almost drowned out by the chaos.
"I've had enough!" Reina roared, as the blades of demonic energy continued to ravage the room.
Annie was also caught up in the chaos, and she quickly activated her defensive abilities. The scythe in her hand flickered with malevolent energy as she tried to protect herself from Reina's indiscriminate attacks.
"Slower!"
However, Anne's defensive capabilities were limited. Her body had been weakened by the previous arrow attacks, and now Reiner's blade was inflicting damage on her. She could not completely withstand these attacks.
puff!
Blood gushed from her wound.
"You bastard! Are you trying to kill me?!"
Anne's desperate protests failed to reach Reiner. In the chaos he had created, his sanity had completely vanished. The blades of demonic energy continued their indiscriminate attack, putting Anne in grave danger.
“Hey! Reina! That’s enough!” Anne cried out, her voice tense as she tried to protect herself from the attack.
But Reina had already lost control. His hysterical laughter joined the destructive clamor, a sign of his breakdown.
"Hahaha! I want to live! I should be the one who survives! Just bear with it!" Reina's laughter echoed, sounding particularly jarring amidst the chaos.
Upon hearing this, Anne's eyes widened in disbelief and fear. She saw the expression on Reiner's face; the usually composed man now wore a twisted smile, and his trembling body betrayed his inner terror.
Anne's surprise turned into anger, a anger that burned hotter than the surrounding demonic light.
"You bastard!" she said through gritted teeth, pouring all her frustration and anger into her words.
Although the trio weren't true allies, they had completed many missions for the organization together, always looking out for each other and ignoring each other's annoying traits. And now, Reina had abandoned her without hesitation.
'I'm going to kill you, you bastard.'
Her already unusual mind was filled with an unnatural anger. As if something had affected her thinking, she temporarily forgot about the attacker and turned her attention to Reina.
Whoosh!
Driven by intense determination and rage, Anne charged at Reiner. Her scythe gleamed with an even more malevolent energy, poised to strike him down.
“You think you can go mad and I’ll just stand by and do nothing?” Anne roared, her voice piercing the chaos. She brandished her scythe, aiming at Reina’s crazed figure. The air howled at her attack.
Clang!
Reina, consumed by his own madness, managed to raise a defensive barrier. Annie's attack collided with the demonic barrier, sparks flying and illuminating the dark room.
“Hahaha… What are you doing?” Reina said, his arm trembling for a moment, but then anger surged up again. “Do you want to die too?”
'Oh? Who else is here?'
Reina's thoughts flashed through his mind as if he remembered something, but Anne didn't give him any more time.
As the crashing sounds echoed through the room, Annie and Reina seemed to be consumed by the same madness.
The demonic blade and the evil scythe clashed repeatedly, each attack accompanied by a resonance of rage and madness.
Whoosh! Clang! Whoosh!
The clash of blades filled the room, drowning out any rational thought. Anne was now consumed by her rage, attacking frantically. Her attacks were merciless, driven by a sense of betrayal from those she had once considered allies.
“Do you know what you’re doing!” Anne shouted, her voice a mixture of anger and despair. The crimson light from her scythe grew even brighter, casting an eerie shadow in the chaotic scene.
Death Seal
She used her skill, and the same eye appeared behind Reina's head, after which his internal organs gushed out.
【Demonization - Demon Blade】
"You bastard."
Reina continued to smile wickedly, responding with a demonic counterattack.
His blade attacked with a chaotic rhythm, no longer following any strategy, but simply responding to the turmoil within him.
*Thud!* *Bang!*
Despite their demonic resilience, wounds began to accumulate on both of them. They descended into an uncontrollable rage, their attacks on each other becoming increasingly deadly.
boom!
Ultimately, due to the accumulated wounds, both of them collapsed to their knees, unable to stand up any longer.
"Uh……"
Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and reason slowly returned to their minds.
"Ok?"
Reina looked at his hands and felt something was wrong.
What was I just doing?
He asked himself the question, but before he could answer, applause suddenly broke out.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
"It really worked..."
