As he watched Alex and others disappear from his sight, Conrad heaved a long sigh before suddenly jumping on his left, dodging the two-headed mutated Ogre's club.
Boom!
The huge club almost tall as the two-headed mutated ogre created a deep pit on the ground as it missed its target, hastily rolling on the ground because the two-headed mutated ogre followed with another swing of its club.
While rolling on the ground, Conrad aimed his right hand at the monster and said,
[Fireball]
A huge fireball was created and shot a the monster, the latter used its club like a bat and flung it into another direction.
Boom!
Conrad disappeared and reappears behind the monster with his sword coated in flame.
However, before he could bring down his flaming sword he switched to a defensive stance as he felt danger coming from its back.
Gakin!!
Successfully defending against the sneak attack, Conrad hastily jumped back narrowly avoiding the ogre's fist.
Finally looking at the culprit of the previous sneak attack, Conrad said.
"So you come. I thought I had buried you with that attack earlier."
Chuckling, the black-clothed man with an disheveled appearance said,
"It's not easy to kill me."
Conrad could only click his tongue in annoyance hearing that, when he disappeared early it was because he received an urgent message from Leena informing him of the demon's plot. He searched for them until he found this disguised demon, they starting immediately fighting, at that moment the mutated ogre wasn't with the demon, after fighting for a moment against the demon, Conrad learned that the monster had taken a different road to go eliminated its targets.
The demon had told Conrad the truth because he was sure that the monster must have accomplished its goal by then, unfortunately for the demon and fortunately for Conrad, it didn't happen as the former predicted but at that moment Conrad wasn't aware of it, hence he used one of his strongest attacks on the demon catching the latter off guard, Conrad had thought he had buried him alive and run in Alex and other's direction to barely manage to save them.
However now that demon he thought he buried came back blocking his way, the two-headed mutated ogre started running in Alex's direction after the demon whispered something under his breath, the black necklace around the monster's neck emitted a black smoke that entered into the monster's body and acted as a kind of signal, no order should be more accurate because the monster left just after that black smoke entered into its body.
''As if-"
''Sorry, Conrad, the Flame Prince, your opponent is me.''
The demon said as he blocked Conrad's road, making it impossible for him to give a chase.
Gritting his teeth so much that the gritting sound could be heard, Conrad glared at the demon in front of him, Conrad normal brown eyes started losing their usual hue turning into hot crimson color, the air around him started to change, becoming hotter and hotter, Conrad is a magic swordsman, he can use both sword arts and magic at the same time and he's a Fire element user, a powerful Fire user thus he got the nickname of Flame Prince.
The demon who was closed to Conrad could feel the increasing temperature, however, his expression behind the gray mask filled with cracks was not fear but the excitement of a good fight that was about to begin.
Suddenly, the demon also released his power, black bolts of lightning started dancing wildly around him producing a crackling sound. Conrad who saw this couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he knew how dangerous those black bolts of lightning can be.
Even if both are Rank 8, if he lets his guard down his will suffer, Fire element is hailed as the strongest element possessing a destructive power but it doesn't mean that it's was without equal, leaving aside the Water or Ice element its natural nemesis, the Lightning Element, especially Black Lightning possesses destructive power coupled with a swiftness that makes Black Lightning user dangerous.
Looking in the direction Alex and Gracier left to, Conrad hoped that they were able to put a good distance between them and this monster who just went after them, Conrad wasn't concerned about the other because he knew that the monster was only after Alex and Gracier, as for why he doesn't know nor he needs to know, following Leena's order was all matter.
Inwardly sighing, Conrad prepared himself to quickly end this fight to go after the siblings, he knew that Leena was approaching at fast speed.
Suddenly, the demon disappeared like a flash of lightning and reappeared behind Conrad slashing horizontally at him, without turning around Conrad brought his flaming sword to clash against the gray sword with black lightning around it.
Clangs!
Boom!
An explosion occurred as the two elements collided, Conrad disappeared to reappear on the left on the demon as if he had teleported however it was not the case, it was simply because his agility was so high that when he moves at fast speed it looks like he was teleporting, also he possesses a certain skill that increases his movement speed however the range was small, radius 50 meters (164.0420 ft).
Jumping back the demon dodged the slash and at the same time just as he was landing he pointed his finger in Conrad's direction and said,
''Black Lightning Bullet.''
Whoosh!
A small black lightning bullet was created and fired at Conrad at an extremely fast speed.
In the front of the incoming black lightning bullet, Conrad was calm as he muttered,
''Flame Shield''
Instantly a shield made of flame appeared in front of him to block the black lightning advance.
Boom!
An explosion occurred as the two elements clashed, the two had already moved and were clashing midair using their Gifts.
Clangs! Clangs! Clangs!
They kept moving around at fast speed exchanging moves while not forgetting at the same time to fire some normal spells like the ones they previously used. Because these kinds of spells don't require a long chant just a keyword, it was easy to use. When one's level becomes higher enough, like stepping into Rank 7 or 8 normal spells (skills) such as Fireball, Flame Shield, Water bullets, Wind bullets, and other normal spells doesn't require a chant to be used.
The two distanced themselves from each other as they stared at each other, Conrad couldn't help but curse under his breath because in their exchanges neither of them managed to get the upper hand, Conrad had thought of using some flashy move to distract the demon while he secretly slipped away to go rescue Alex and Gracier, unfortunately, it seemed that demon had seen through his plan thus blocking him whenever he tried to go.
Frustrated Conrad glared at the demon, the latter smiled, his smile would have been beautiful if hasn't for the long scar running through his face not sparring his lips, like the other demon who died under Leena's hand, this one also had a pale white face, red eyes, and light purple hair, because his mask who was filled with cracks broke under Conrad's attacks, the demon face became visible.
Not minding how his face looks, the demon with a crooked lip said.
''Why are you being hasty for? Flame Prince Let's play some more, let's destroy some more, let's have some fun while forgetting about everything else, I'll have only you in my eyes as you'll do the same thing. Let's love each other to the death.''
The demon when talking had a sickened expression on his face, no intoxicated expression should be more accurate, Conrad shivered as he felt goosebumps rising all over his body, so unconsciously he gripped the hand of his Gift.
''You are sick.''
To Conrad's words, the demon smiled,
''Thanks for the praise. I know you will accept me, I'm seeing it from your eyes, from the way you look at me, your hot gaze on me.''
Not paying any more attention to the weirdo's talking, Conrad decided to use his strongest move, normally he didn't want to use this because after using it, his MP is almost emptied and he becomes tired, he decided to use it considering the urgency of the situation he was in, it has only been fifteen minutes since he started fighting against the weirdo but he was feeling restless, he doesn't know if the ogre had caught up to Alex and Gracier or not but he must go after them, they can't face this monster, even himself know that he couldn't win against such a monster.
Having decided to use his strongest skill, Conrad already prepared a High-grade Recovery Potion even though this potion could only replenish half of his MP, it was better than nothing.
Seeing Conrad getting serious all of the sudden, the demon felt a sudden thrill that almost made him moan.
『You who are slumbering in the depth of mine soul, hear my call now and awaken: Flame Dragon』
Rumble!
As Conrad finished his chant, the world warped and ten meters (32.81 ft) long flame dragon appeared, it looks like an eastern dragon.
Using its flaming red eyes the Flame dragon glared at the smiling demon, the temperature around the two had increased to an alarming degree, the ground radius 50 meters (164.0420 ft) started melting.
Even so, the demon still had a smile on his face.
"Roarrrr!!!"
Suddenly, Conrad's Flame dragon roared before pouncing at the demon.
Seeing the incoming Flame dragon, the demon smiled and said,
''Guess, it's my turn.''
At the end of his words, he tossed his black sword toward the incoming Flame dragon and shouted,
''Devour Ashíntó''
Rumble! Zila~
The black sword instantly transformed into a huge black lightning dragon of the same height as Conrad's Flame dragon.
Conrad's eyes widened when he saw the demon black sword (Gift) transforming into a dragon, he quickly emptied the Recovery Potion he had prepared beforehand as he created a flame shield one after another to defend himself against what was about to come.
Kaboooom!!!
A mega explosion happened to destroy everything radius 5 kilometers (16404.20 ft) as the two dragons clashed.
Alex and the others who were running far ahead sensed the big explosion that sent all the forest into turmoil creating a big cloud that rises to the sky.
After the dust cleared the figure of Conrad nor the demon could be seen as the two disappeared not leaving any trace behind.
