Chapter 332: Devour

[You have used Thousand Swords Rain(SSS)]

After saying those words, Erik turned the black mist instantly into smithereens. His skill brought many swords out of nowhere, their forms made from the pure antagonist mana.

Those weapons instantly hacked at everything and everyone around Erik.

"Ah!" Alex wasn't an exception, his lips parting to let out a cry.

Amidst thousand blades, Alex received two strikes. Those swords went from his shoulders down to his torso as if aiming to separate his arms.

Fortunately, the two Ultimate Skills enhanced Alex's physique, to say nothing of the holy pillar immediately coming out to keep his wounds minimal.

Alex's head was safe, for he moved around with a high speed, leveraging abilities from both new races and their energies.

Alex also wore high-quality items mitigating external damage.

Alas, Erik's technique was still powerful, even if just two swords cut through his enemy.

In his focused state, Alex's instincts were heavily heightened. As the blood spurted out of him, Alex saw even the little drops of it. Worse, he could tell that Erik planned a second strike!

Alex immediately reattached his head, planning a head-on battle!

Erik pointed his sword at him, targeting Alex's body. All floating swords turned their tips at Alex, turning into soaring rockets. They tore through the air rapidly, showcasing their owner's impatience.

Alex's wings flapped, casting a vast tornado around him. The wind element became sharper from his sword mana, which all swords in his hands produced in abundance.

In less than five seconds, everything sparkled around Alex, for he fended off all enemy attempts to wound him.

But as he was pinned down, Alex knew he couldn't take his time with Erik. He clenched his sword, promptly flying out from his tornado. He broke his speed limits again, slamming all his weapons against the demon.

The swords bounced, and so did two bodies. But as Alex became sharper and more decisive, he swore to never distance himself away from Erik.

He stuck to him like glue, continuously thrusting his swords in.

'I can't lose against this guy… If I lose, will it mean my feelings for my wives are not as strong as his love for his sister?' Alex thought as he focused chilling effects on his swords.

He parted his lips, spitting the dark mist from his mouth. The unique dullahan element slowed Erik's movement, even if its usual purpose was much different.

But as Alex properly thought about his plan, he changed the dullahan's attribute!

[Your proficiency in the Dullahan King Sword's Ultimate Skill has reached perfection.]

[The sleeping soul of the former Dullahan King has noticed your presence.]

[You have received the special invitation to his tomb in Dullahan's Ancestral Grounds.]

[The Dullahan King's Sword's Ultimate Skill has evolved.]

It was no longer an inferior version.

After more mana oozed out from Alex, he screamed out of his lungs, "I won't lose against someone who swore to protect his sister yet can't use a shield for his own protection!

Even if Stella is not here, I feel her presence! I fight with everything she can give to me!

We won't lose against you! Never!" Alex howled, extending his hand to grasp Erik's red sword.

His hand immediately bled, and some of his bones became exposed. Yet, Alex clenched the weapon, not minding the sharp mana coming out of it.

He used his other hand to punch Erik's face, hidden behind the demon's skin.

At the same time, his swords lowered, sinking into Erik's flesh. In this way, Alex opened four gaps in Erik's sturdy skin. His mana went through those swords, mauling Erik's flesh from the inside.

Deadly swords, sharp winds, chilling dullahan's force.

They all aimed for one, the antagonist's mana in Erik's heart.

"What do you know about me?!" Erik thrashed, using his free hand to punch Alex's face!

He failed, for Alex quickly stopped his futile attempt, "You showed me your demon, didn't you? Right hand with claws like swords… and left hand, which was a shield!

You never used any shield! It disappeared within you! And your defenses aren't even that tough if I focus all on tearing through you!

You swore to protect your sister and kill the person who betrayed her. The latter works perfectly for you, for it enhances your swordsmanship! But the latter is hidden within you, waiting to see your sister!

Erik! You want your sister to use your dead body to protect herself?

Laughable!" Alex slandered Erik's heart, parting his jaw. He leaned forward, clenching his teeth around Erik's demon skin.

He couldn't use his hands and swords, so with nothing else, Alex used his teeth to get rid of Erik's red armor. He ate some of it, then spat, continuously repeating such a process.

In the meantime, Erik heard his sister's words.

[Idiot… Don't be so simple-minded, Erik!]

He didn't hear a demon but the person who taught him how to write, read, and live. She scolded him like usual, which strangely felt soothing…

'I don't hear… that demon…' Erik thought, listening to his sister's voice. She told him to give his all, use everything at his disposal, and have a good life!

When Erik realized his mistakes, Alex's energies had sunk too much into him.

"Ahhhhhh!" he cried, unable to move, for his defense system was simply useless.

At that time, Alex was engrossed in defeating the demon. He only thought about erasing that demon skin so he could easily cut through Erik's antagonist concept.

He also used his hands now that Erik utterly stopped responding.

Alex didn't notice that there was no longer any red armor around Erik's shoulder. It was a place he had been chewing on ever since he went for such a method.

Thus, when Alex ripped off the flesh, he unconsciously devoured it.

"Fuck!" Ivonne screamed as she noticed what Alex had done.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

[The antagonist and the guardian mana can not coexist.]

"Ahhhhh!" Alex's eyes widened, trembling like never before. The pain he had never felt in his life went through his entire body, halting his movements. His wings stopped moving, yet he hovered in the sky, similar to the antagonists.

He felt some foreign mana invading his soul. His body didn't like even a drop, kicking it away immediately. After such an attempt, Alex's entire mana shook, flying away from his body.

[You have lost your legendary class, Husband Of Deathwill Sisters.]
