Chương 63: Castle of Brimstone - Blood Knight

Picking Nora up, Yura rushed forward as the pressure continued to rise, pushing down with ruthless intent. With palms filled with sweat, Yura slowly began gasping for breath as we rushed forward.

Yet as we arrived at the five-kilometer waypoint, a massive wave of hellfire assaulted us, searing some of our clothing as we moved closer. While the heat didn't affect me much, the soul pressure was starting to bear down upon my soul.

Yet, as fast as it came, I could feel my soul adapting, growing strong the longer I remained. My thoughts continued to advance as my mind palace started to evolve. With blood leaking from my nose, I gritted my teeth, marching through the inferno.

Pushing up a qi barrier, Winfor gasped for air as he fell to his knees. His skin smothered by the flames.

"Get up, are you not an Earth Realm cultivator," I jeered, "Look at me. Aside from a nose bleed, I am perfectly fine and sexy."

With flames rising from his pupils, I could see intense hate from Winfor as he shot up bellowing in rage, "I WILL NOT FALL HERE,"

Why are dumb people like this so talented in the cultivation world? That question will always be beyond my knowledge; sending a false encouraging nod, I summoned my Nexus Suit before handing it to Yura and Nora. "Wear this; it will protect you from the flames."

Pushing it into Nora's arms, Yura beamed, "wear it; flames of this level cannot affect me," She sweetly said, her brow filled with perspiration.

Biting her lip, Nora shivered, giving a nod filled with frustration. Watching as Yura's clothing was sticking to her body as she struggled to move, Nora lowered her head. Donning only part of the suit handing her the rest, "You were it also...I only need a piece."

"I-"

"Just wear it; the suit is broken up into three layers the shirt, the vest, and the actual suit. It was made to go to business and look professional, but each layer holds the same defensive capabilities. " I explained, handing another piece to Zef. "Help Winfor defend against the heat."

Hours began to pass before days slipped away, but our rate had barely increased. We had reached the three-kilometer mark, but the soul pressure was so unbearable that Nora and Zef would puke blood before collapsing as their bodies convulsed.

Winfor was a little better as he would only freeze, unable to move. Sending a knowing look at Yura, she nodded with understanding as she wrapped her arms around Nora, "Swallow all the soul pills." she warned.

Confused, Nora suddenly paled as she gobbled all the pills down. Sending a wink at Zel and Winfor, I gripped their shoulders, "Try not to die," I jokingly exclaimed.

"NOOO WAIT," Winfor bellowed in panic.

Unfortunately, his words fell on deaf ears as I shot forward, shattering the sound barrier. My speed had morphed so much that breaking the speed barrier was a simple task with my new monstrous body.

With the winds stabbing into my skin, I turned to the uncoiled duo, laughing my ass off at their foamy mouth. Understanding a certain straw hat fool in a very popular anime a little better, I turned to Yura, who was also giggling with a mischievous expression.

"I may have to start doing this more often." She muttered, sending a chill down my spine.

Was she always like this? Is that why she and Mother connected so well? Cursing the thought, I looked at the massive bridge blocked by a shut gate. Picking Yura and Nora up, I shot up into the clouds stepping on the air as we made it inside the castle.

Dropping everyone down, I could see Nora's pale-like face grow lighter as the soul pressure vanished, leaving everyone to recover. Resing my head on the fire-hot ground, I shot up, "What the hell is this!" I screamed, my skin scorched

Panicked, Yura pulled Nora up only to sigh in relief. Puzzled, she gazed at everyone frowning at how there were not injured. Touching the floor, she gasped, "Brimstone."

"What!?" I questioned, swallowing a healing pill, "I heard of that, but what is it."

"It's the bane of all that is evil," A cold voice sounded.

Drawing Dragonsbane, I eyed the Demonic knight before me. Standing around Yura's height, large sinister horns curled around each other from the knight's skeleton mask, his skin smoldered with crimson flames while long deep fangs fell from what seemed like his lips. There was a predatory vibe around him as he stepped forward with a heavy clank from his decrepit armor.

"Blood Knight," muttered Yura, "Wake everyone up; we need them, "

Demonic laughter filled the void as the Blood knight shot forward, appearing before Yura in an instant. A massive straight greatsword formed from within his palm as he slashed down.

With a massive boom, sparks flew like fireflies as Yura parried, her Qi flooding her body as she tried to defend. A grim expression clouded her face as she began flickering her Longsword madly.

Gritting my teeth, I summoned some black flames before searing everyone's shoulders as they screamed, awaking almost instantly. Not bothering to explain, black flames shot out from Dragonsbane.

"COME, LITTLE DEMON, CRIMSON RAIN!" Said the Blood Knight as crimson qi wrapped around his demonic form. His eyes glimmering with a ruby red hue.

Thick blood-like tentacles began forming from his back, shooting towards everyone. Yura could dodge, but I was far slower, even with my new body.

Pushing out Dragonsbane, I blocked as blood ruptured from my arms; bones could be seen as my body flew into the pavement of the castle, searing my skin.

"You are weak," he bellowed, slamming Yura away like an effortless doll.

Appearing in front of me like a phantom, I could smell the scent of sulfur as he released a massive steamy breath of air. With a cruel grin, his greatsword swept towards my neck with the intent of severing my head.

The hair on my body rose as Dragonsbane shot forward, only for my spear to fly high in the air. His stroke had missed, but blood gushed from my chest area as I quickly rushed to force my organs from falling out. Gritting my teeth, he sneered in disdain, "Pathetic; you have much to learn, Child of Bael. Lord Asmodeus has will that you be trained."

With a chill against my skin, I watched as the blood knight effortlessly dodged Yura and Nora's attack as they appeared next to me in a flash. While dodging, Winfor and Zef suddenly appeared, trying to sneak attack in one swift movement towards his Arms and legs. A feral smile graced his monster's mask as his eyes glimmered with sinister intent.

"Make distance! Yura!!! Stop fucking holding back," I bellowed, "I can sense hundreds of more demons coming."

At my cold words, Amethyst-colored light radiated from Yura as she appeared before the monster. Deep jet black gauntlets appeared on her arms as she swung her sword with vicious intent. Roaring the Demon suddenly froze as black blood rained from his neck, showering Yura in black.

"Wa-What!? How did you hit me?" he weakly yelled, covering his neck as more globs of blood filled the area.

With widening eyes, I saw Yura gracefully flicker her arms as her blade extended like a snake, slashing deep into the monster over and over again. Clanks of metal against one another as the demon tried to defend yet. Yura was relentless, spilling blood like a demonic goddess.

Pushing my mangled body up, I stared at the incoming sinister Qi with fear, "YURA, LEAVE HIM, LET'S GO!!!" I screamed before rushing off deeper into the castle.

With a scowl, Yura glared at the demon with a mocking icy grimace. I could feel the anger and bloodlust flowing from her as she appeared before me, lifting me like a child before moving at a far greater pace.

Feeling a little humiliated, I glared at the young girl grinning mischievously as I created a sphere of darkness to hide everyone. A deep silence filled the air as we rushed through the insanely complex castle.

Nevertheless, the more we traveled, the greater our fears became as we passed various heavenly rank demonic demons and higher. Some would stare at us, but most decided to leave us alone before finding a safe zone in a decrepit library.

Arsene doesn't have any advantages over demons yet. While he has evolved, you will not notice much until he returns to the Human World. At this moment, all his enemies are demons. They hold the same advantages he does aside from the Darkness element.

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
