Birth of the Demonic Sword Chapter 1512 1512. Overreacting

Chapter 1512 1512. Overreacting

The wolf bit on the monkey's shoulder and tore a piece of its skin. Blood spurted out of the creature and tainted its fur, but the injury didn't stop it from inflating its chest again.
The monkey turned its head toward the wolf and launched a soundwave. The attack exploded right in its face, separating the two magical beasts and injuring both of them.
Noah couldn't escape the shockwaves released in the attack. His organs shook, and blood accumulated in his mouth, but he remained on his feet. He would rather suffer more internal injuries than lose that favorable position.
Once Noah felt able to move his arms again, he raised his blades and bathed in the incredible feeling of having his power enhanced by an external force. He was already near the peak of the seventh rank, but the Demonic Sword's ability pushed his might slightly past that.
Dark matter covered both blades and created two black rivers that flowed upward. They shot high in the sky as Noah placed the weapons on his forehead and focused his consciousness on the two rank 8 magical beasts.
The two creatures ignored Noah. The wolf charged at the monkey again, and the latter didn't hesitate to inflate its chest to launch another threatening soundwave.
Noah intervened before the monkey could launch its attack. He wanted the creatures to keep hurting each other, but the wolf had already suffered a severe injury while following Noah.
The monkey would win in that situation, and Noah couldn't allow it. He needed both of them to keep them busy.
The two blades slid across Noah's forehead and filled the environment with sharp noises. The dark matter around and above the weapons disappeared to create two massive black pillars that fell on the leaders one instant before the monkey launched its attack.
That broad attack couldn't injure the leaders. It didn't matter how much power Noah had accumulated inside it. He was still in the solid stage, so only blows featuring piercing properties could hope to tear the creatures' tough skin.
Still, the might carried by the attack managed to hinder the leaders' offensive. The monkey had to delay its shockwave by an instant. The wolf managed to close the distance from its opponent during that time.
The wolf bit on the monkey's injured shoulder again before a soundwave exploded on its face. The attack flung away both leaders and made them crash on the ground. Their bodies had become a mess of internal injuries and shattered skin.
During the previous battles, the wolf and the monkey had never managed to land such clean blows on their opponent. They would always be wary of each other and exploit their innate abilities to preserve their condition.
However, Noah had rigged their fair battle. His influence prevented them from gaining the upper hand over their opponent and forced them to exchange self-harming blows.
Of course, Noah didn't forget about the magical beasts' insane resilience. Those creatures were existences in the eighth rank. He guessed that they could stand even with their internal organs reduced to a pulp.
The possibility of defeating those creatures never crossed his mind. Noah knew his power better than anyone else. He was aware that it was impossible to kill them unless his battle prowess improved.
Still, that was the very reason behind that battle. The fruit was only an excuse to throw himself into fights that he couldn't win.
'Snore. Night,' Noah said through the mental connection. 'Go all-out. I will also unleash the Demonic Form.'
A torrent of dark matter flowed out of his figure before condensing to create Snore. A mark also appeared on the leaders' forehead before a huge Pterodactyl became visible among the whiteness of the sky.
Snore's arrival attracted the leaders' attention, but Night gave the snake enough time to launch its attack. The Blood Companion unfolded its wings, and a barrage of metallic feathers crashed on the two rank 8 creatures.
'It's time to see what you can do,' Noah thought before storing the white blade and raising his palm.
A dark halo covered that part of the region as roots spread from his hand. They consumed the dark matter and primary energy still lingering mid-air, and they didn't ignore the azure ground under Noah's feet.
The feathers landed on the leaders at that point. The ground began to shake, and two large black clouds expanded after the attack detonated. Those waves of energy engulfed Noah, but the roots sensed the threat and decided to protect their host.
When the waves of dark matter dispersed, Noah noticed that the roots had wrapped themselves around his entire body. They had covered his arms, legs, torso, and face, giving him a peculiar appearance.
Noah found out that he could move freely, but the corrosive properties of the roots threatened to pierce his skin. His body resisted those effects due to the dark matter released by the black hole, but his robe wasn't as lucky.
The dark matter quickly created the fiendish armor, creating a defensive layer between the skin and the roots. Noah was temporarily safe from that corrosive power in that form, and he could even use the plant's power as a protective measure.
'You can also do this then,' Noah thought when he inspected his body.
The leaders had endured the full might of Snore's feathers. That attack expressed Noah's peak destruction. Not even the Demonic Sword could unleash such power in a single blow.
Snore had lost most of its feathers to perform that attack, but the black hole was already rebuilding them. It would take the organ only a few minutes to restore the snake's wings.
The two rank 8 creatures found themselves covered in new injuries. Their bodies already had many wounds, but the snake's attack had enlarged them and had exploited their condition to spread more destruction.
For the first time since the beginning of the battle, the leaders considered the possibility that Noah could defeat them. The creatures sealed a silent agreement at that point. They would take care of Noah before resuming their battle.
'I knew this would happen,' Noah thought when he saw the two magical beasts turning toward him.
The leaders were overreacting. Snore had managed to inflict those damages only because the beasts were already in poor condition. The destruction that it radiated had allowed it to fill their insides with its destructive force.
Still, the rank 8 beasts didn't care that Noah would need to spend hours repeating that attack to bring them closer to their death. That opponent had annoyed them for the last time. They had to take care of him before the battle became too dangerous.
'Time for the last attack then,' Noah thought when the wolf disappeared from his sight, and the monkey inflated its chest.
His bloodlust surged as the cursed sword appeared in the open. The blade landed on his right palm, and the roots entangled themselves around its figure.
A thick layer of dark matter covered both blades before the roots stretched over the Demonic Sword. Noah was in his most deadly form right now, but he didn't waste time inspecting his power.
His arms moved before Noah could even muster enough power. A horizontal slash shot out of his blades and sent forward all the energy accumulated around his figure.
The roots shattered during the attack, but the corrosive force that they contained fused with the slash and transformed it into a threatening blow.
The monkey felt the need to launch its soundwave before completing the preparations for the attack. The wolf also stopped its offensive in a desperate attempt to dodge the slash.
The soundwave crashed on the slash, and the wolf leapt above it. The monkey ended up blocking the attack, but the other leader saw two large cuts appearing on its rear legs.
After the attack dispersed, the two leaders turned toward Noah, and cries came out of their mouths when they noticed that he had disappeared.
