My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 289: A Deadly Demoness

-----

Akron glanced at the pieces of the head of Gustav splattered all over the place, as he cleaned his boots with his liquid metal and then dissipated the dome he was using to trap Gustav inside.

Gustav might be dead, but Akron was still boiling with rage.

Perhaps he managed to calm part of his anger after taking the life of the one that tricked him, but he still needed the damn Jewel to accomplish his goals.

He began to run into the ruins, looking for some door to reach the underground.

However, a second after, infernal black flames began to fall from the sky like gigantic meteors!

"Eh?!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Akron quickly generated a barrier of liquid metal as he started to run and evade, but noticed that the flames contained an immense amount of heat, his liquid metal which he hardened to protect himself quickly melted once more, and even made him lost control over it!

He quickly realized that the black flames were coming from someone in his same realm… A Rank 5 Magus!

And he knew who could possibly be… the only one he knew aside from the new Magus that he barely had seen, Dranya, the red-skinned demoness that was always at the side of Gustav!

Akron quickly ran behind large ruins of the whole manor, as the laughter of a mischievous demoness resonated through the entire surroundings.

"Hahaha! To think that you would actually kill him… Well, it seems that we are no longer playing games here, right, Akron?" she asked.

"You're laughing at the death of your master? I knew it, you were behind all of this!" said Akron, gritting his teeth as he continuously created layers after layers of barriers to protect himself from the intense black fireballs.

"My master? Gustav was but a pawn from my real master, that he died or not was really any problem for us! He had long accomplished his purpose anyway!" laughed Dranya.

"Your real… master?!" asked Akron, as suddenly, the figure of a bewitchingly beautiful, red-skinned demoness emerged in front of him covered in black flames, as she smiled maliciously and unleashed several storms of black flames all over him!

"What?! Such speed…! Ungh!"

Akron quickly twisted his body, activating several accessories over his body engraved with magic runes of his own, generating icy winds all around him and blocking the fire a bit!

FLASH!

He used his liquid metal to generate a platform into the air, and flew over the skies to escape the fire!

After that, he quickly drank another small pocket elixir, healing the biggest burnt wounds he had.

Dranya was surprised by the Magus' craftiness.

"Hah! You're prepared for anything, aren't you? To be expected of a fellow Rank 5!" laughed Dranya, flying towards Akron like a meteor made of black flames!

"And you're just charging head-on, huh? You have way too much confidence in your own magic, lass!" laughed Akron, as he smiled wickedly and generated something… a cannon!

Akron since he was a child that he was a masterful crafter and creator of weapons, and developed many spells that helped him in creating them.

One of them was Instant Replication, which let him instantly scan a weapon and replicate it with his liquid metal! Of course, it was but the mere shape and internal functions, but not the magic they possessed or runes, being merely aesthetic at most.

However, when he scanned the barrel gun that Gustav held, he learned the way to generate such weapons with his magic!

And not only one, but he made several of them… and increased their size by tenfold!

"W-What?!"

Dranya was shocked as Akron smiled confidently with his own power, and began to fire enormous cannons against her with great speed!

"Gustav had a pretty good weapon there, I had never seen anything like that before! So I decided to copy its design, what do you think?" asked Akron, as Dranya was showered in enormous cannonballs!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Dranya shielded herself with a barrier of black flames, but the power of the cannonballs was immense!

And because they were so big and dense, without being hollow inside, they were melting incredibly slowly, and managed to get through her flames and hit her chest and stomach!

BAM! BAM!

"NNNGAAGH…!"

Dranya vomited a mouthful of blood as she decided to fly away from Akron's long-distance attacks, but was constantly chased by the cannonballs whenever she went to!

She began to sweat nervously as her eyes were filled with despair!

"It seems that you're out of options, lass. You need a few dozens of years to be as good as me with Rank 5 Magic! Come back when you have grown up a little bit!" laughed Akron.

"Who are you calling lass?! I am 83 years old!" roared Dranya in anger, Akron who was around his mid-thirties was treating her like a child!

"Oof, what kind of magic you're using to keep looking that young?!" asked Akron, as he showered Draya with more cannonballs until the demoness finally loses it!

"I was not going to waste my time with you, but I guess I underestimated you! I will burn you into ashes!" roared Draya, rushing towards Akron as she unleashed a tempest of flames so strong they melted the cannonballs at last!

"So she got an ace behind her sleeve…!" thought Akron, gritting his teeth as he quickly flew away, evading the gigantic storm of black flames by a pinch!

However, Dranya controlled her flames and continuously chased Akron while laughing wickedly, which really annoyed him!

"Tsk! Let's see if you can take this one!" laughed Akron, as he generated a giant drill and launched it at her in the most unexpected moment!

FLASH!

"A-A drill!?"

Dranya was shocked by the shape Akron could create so easily, as the drill penetrated her black flames and hit her chest, leaving a small wound before it was to melt completely!

However, the small wound was still the size of the palm of her hand, and it hurt like hell!

"Unnggaaaggh…!"

Akron noticed this as he smiled confidently!

"So the drills can get through her flames a little bit…! Let's continuously use them then! Here, lass, have more!" roared Akron, flying back towards Dranya as he created three drills made of hardened liquid metal and then drank another elixir to recover mana.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The drills rotated in midair, reaching Dranya from all sides and crushing her into the ground!

She tried to use her flames, but they didn't melt completely before hitting her, the pain of three drills piercing her flesh was enough to make her scream!

"UNNNGGGYYYAAAHH…!"

BOOM!

Her body fell over the ground, covered in melted metal!

Akron sighed, his entire body was being constantly burned by her flames, and he felt already incredibly exhausted… he hoped that she was incapacitated at worst, or dead at best.

He slowly flew into the surface and began to look for the entrance to the underground…

However.

"That was very painful!"

Draya's voice resonated through Akron's ears as she flashed towards him like a meteor of black flames, crushing him into the ground!

CLASH!

Her flames began to consume his entire body, as he was not able to make projectiles in time!

Akron noticed as her wounds were suddenly burnt and forcefully closed by her own flames!

"Well, this is a farewell, Akron!" she laughed, burning the man alive!

"Unnnggghhh…! Eleo… nora…!" muttered Akron, as tears began to come out of his eyes.

However, at the very last second…!

CLASH!

"Eh?!"

Dranya quickly flew away from a gigantic red blade that almost impaled her alive, which fell right in front of the burnt Akron!

"A… sword?!"

Suddenly, a beautiful fox-kin woman reached the floor, glaring at Dranya into the eyes.

"I do wonder, have you fought someone that can also use fight before?" she asked, smiling mischievously!

Her presence… was that of a Rank 5 as well! And at the Middle Stage!

It was Gwendolyn!

Dranya gritted her teeth as she realized this woman was most likely with Frank, the other Rank 5.

In just a few days, these Rank 4 at his side already reached Rank 5!

Just what kind of strange methods was he using?!

"You… Don't get on my way!" roared Dranya.

"Hm? Or what? What are you going to do?" asked Gwendolyn boldly, as she raised her blade, Vulcanus!

Dranya then noticed as two young girls reached Akron, and started to heal his wounds!

"You… Why are you helping him?!" asked Dranya.

"As my husband said, the enemy of my enemy… is my friend," said Gwendolyn.

"Tch…! Then all of you will be burnt to ashes!" roared Dranya.
