The towering devil spawn uproots itself from the ground. Thousands of tentacles crawls out destroying even more of the land and causing the world to quake. It seem like the devil had enough of the man.
Before devil's drastic action, War had been chipping at him with his sword that has fulling shaped itself into the material world.
It is a simple longsword. It's blade is still sharp as ever. Even after colliding with the Devil's scales the sword doesn't even have a scratch. Unlike the sword, the wielder is brutalized by the devil's attacks and other small flies that War had to kill again and again cause they're blocking his path.
War's current strategy is simple, one attack and then get away. He had made somewhat progress in damaging few of its arms and body. but He hasn't found any weak spot on it though.
This whole cat and mouse game is happening for quite some time now. it is taking a toll on his body and mind, it is like a strange burden that's weighting him down. But his desires are still strong. So much more stronger.
Then out of nowhere, the devil spawn took its own roots out and starts chasing at him. His advantage of fighting a stationary opponent is gone. But maybe he can still find some way to kill this abomination. For now, only thing he can do it run away and find a way to attack him without getting tangled up in those tentacles.
A taunting voice falls in his ears.
"what are you running for now? Go fight that thing alone. Is Lust from blood's perversion has a limited?"
War answers nonchalantly. While dodging another assault form the towering devil.
"should I do the go inside of big creature tactic and try to kill it from the inside?"
Shiny replies, astonished.
"Have you finally lost your mind? Are you insane?"
War replies with "I was joking". Then he swear that he heard a facepalm in his ears.
But it is true. The situation is dire and he can't do anything much to kill such a large abomination all alone. Perhaps, he shouldn't have pissed Shiny so much then maybe he would've gotten some help. But then again. What could two humans do against a devil spawn that large?
A terrible idea did come to his mind. So he stops and looks directly at the Devil with a vicious smile on his face. Then runs towards it.
His bloodlust grows more and more that even the furthest devil spawn could feel that oppressive feeling. All and every creature in the vicinity could feel that threatening feeling.
Even Steel cowers and staggers back after finally noticing such killing intent. However, it didn't affect River.
Everyone answered his call, abomination that were devouring the rotting flesh lost interest in it, devils that were wounded or fallen into the fissures crawl out of it like answering that bloodlust was the only think that mattered. And the towering devil looked at War with a huge hidden eye that finally revealed itself. It was red, waiting to kill and kill and kill.
And then all hell breaks lose. World itself shakes and blood flows like river. The towering abomination has already starting killing all the other smaller devils. Some were intended, but most of them were accidental. Its only target was just one man, War.
He was on top of its body. Nimbly moving from one tentacle to another. It was chaos. War could barely handle the towering abomination but with these small flies in the mix the difficulty has only grown up.
But its not like these devils will work together. Towering devil is confused with so much stimulus that it had to reveal its huge eye. Now that he looks at it, he isn't really alone anymore. There are so many devils too. So maybe there is a chance at killing that huge devil spawn.
War smiles and run towards to eye of the towering devil. Hundreds of devil are already blocking his path but the towering devil itself is cleaning them out for him. Towering devil releases a chilling cry.
"do you see it too?"
Is the towering devil is intelligent than the small fries? Even if it is, it isn't really helping it much. It is actually just an hindrance for the devil. War can only take advantage of that fact and cuts any tentacle that threaten to block his way. He is so close to it. The ecstasy is waiting for him.
Then he finally reaches the eye and stabs it with all his might. It is deeply shoved inside of the eye, damaging a huge part of it. But it is still not enough to blind the towering devil. He needs to widen the cut.
However, his sword doesn't move. It is stuck inside of the devil's eye.
"you sly devil…"
Then one of devil's huge arms falls on top of War. Forcing him to release his sword and fall towards the ground with incredible speed. He hits the ground, breaking his ribs and bending his leg at an unnatural angle.
War would cry in pain but it hurt to so much as to even breathe. He couldn't move or feel much of his body. But it was fine.
He smiles. Showing the eye of the towering devil his bloodied teeth.
"Boom…"
Towering devil's eye widen and a massive shock wave burst out of the longsword that is embedded deep inside of the devil's eye.
The longsword is a soul weapon. Every soul weapon or item has a unique name that is either given or acquired form time. These weapons or items also possess an enchanted, that are either blessings or curses.
Weapon name: [Ashamed Weight]
Created by: [Human]
Rank: Second
Description: [This sword once belonged to a weak man who grew stronger with time and mastered this sword. But when it come to helping the people he loved, he failed to reach them. Soon the man fought in the war, but he couldn't achieve any result that could change the course of the war. His brethren died but he survived. Afterward, he returned to the king and found his throne is taken by another, a vile Demon. He had no place to go anymore. In the end, he only felt shame and kill himself with this very sword.]
Enchantments: [Eternally sharp], [bound to you] ,[burden of kill]
[Eternally sharp] description:[it will forever be sharp and strong],[bound to you] description:[Even if the weapon is destroyed. The weapon will remain. It will only be destroyed when the wielder dies], [burden to kill] description: [Every attack and kill will be a burden on the wielder. Over time the burden itself will harm the wielder. Burden can be released at will with the force that is equivalent to the kills and attack.]
War had been suffering through each of his attacks and kills from the moment he took the longsword out of his soul. He knew that releasing so much burden would be enough to kill the towering devil but it might have also been enough to kill him too.
So maybe it was lucky that the devil took hold of the sword and threw him down. Otherwise, he was planning on releasing that force after blinding the devil. So perhaps, few broken bones aren't that bad of a trade for his life.
He looks at the Towering devil which is now a mess of disgusting meat and blood. Even the small fries are minced meat. He was lucky that he fell afar away from the radius of the shock wave.
Soon he notices a dark light from the carcass of the towering devil. So he limp towards the dark light.
His body hurt like hell but that burden from the sword was far worse than these broken bones, they will heal. He really need a different weapon though. That mundane sword was fine but too weak.
As he reach the dark light, his smile grows even wider. Then he puts his hand inside the darkness and grabs it. A black metallic spear shapes itself from the darkness.
There are still devil spawn's that are still alive. They could kill him much easier now that he is all wounded and weak. But he couldn't care about them right now. Even bloodlust has its limits.
With a satisfied smile he fall on the ground and says.
"Miss Shiny. I am beat. Would you take control for now? I need a nap. or just enjoy this stimulus."
Shiny is too shocked to speak.
