CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Tisha's dragon frost sword clashed against the four-armed blue demon, unleashing powerful and devastating techniques by releasing her Divinity Aura and her Divine Abilities in combination with her Abilities.
After Yuki was struck by this demon, the Frost Elf immediately decided to fight him before he was to finish her off, in fear that he would easily kill her if he allowed him any opening.
"You carry great strength with each swing, but your sword is only cold and dull."
The last true fight that Tisha had was against Sol, whose techniques were dull and who only relied on his own Unique Skills.
However, this Demon was much more different, he had patience, insight, smarts, and overwhelming strength and technique.
Her sword attacks were constantly being caught by his fists and hands, while she was punched in the stomach and the shoulders, constantly pushing her away from him with each blow.
His body size was already immense at 55 meters, even by channeling her Dragon Bloodline and becoming as tall as fifteen meters, Tisha was not a Frost Giant, so she could not grow any larger than that.
"This guy's skin is as tough as Drake's scales, if not more!" Tisha thought, gritting her teeth. "My sword hasn't even pierced his skin yet!"
"Is this all you have to show me?" The Demon asked, his sharp crimson eyes glowing with impatience. "So boring… I hoped that this world's "gods" would at least grow a bit stronger after my lord was defeated."
His fists channeled his Demonic Energy, generating a mighty and refined Aura by fusing Demonic Energy with Ki, the energy of all living beings, which Demons naturally had too!
"[God-Killing Demonic Fist Arts]: [Heaven's Tremor]!"
With all four of his fists attacking Tisha at once, tremendous explosions of demonic energy engulfed her, the entire sky above the two trembled by the attacks!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Uuaaarrgh…!"
Tisha could not even defend against such overwhelming attacks, her armor shattered into pieces as she tried to fight back, but her sword could not move as fast as the demon's fists!
"TISHA!"
The desperate scream of Pekora echoed from behind her, as a gigantic hand made of the jungles below surged and attacked the demon!
"Leave her GO! [Nature's Wrath]!"
CLAAAAASSSHHH!!!
"What is this?"
The Demon, however, was unscathed, the gigantic hand wasn't even able to push him down, as it started to burn from his demonic flames, turning into ashes!
"You think that attacking me with plants will ever do anything?" The Demon felt offended. "Are you looking down on me? For your information, I am Ranked fifteenth amongst my Lord's Strongest Warriors. My name is Marchosias, the Demon Lord of Fury."
"D-Demon Lord?!" Pekora muttered, as she managed to save Tisha, who had moved to her side and was being currently healed. "So the reason why he's so different than the others… It is because he possesses a Title! I had no idea Demons had such hierarchies…"
"This bastard's tougher than that guy named Sol we fought a while back!" Tisha said. "How can we even pierce through his defenses?"
"Yuki's still recovering, we can't rely on her strength yet…" Said Pekora. "Rakasha is currently fighting over a hundred Demonic Beasts all by himself, we can't ask for his help either…! I'll have to do something. Tisha, I'll give you as many enchantments as I can, and I'll heal you, can you hold him back for a minute or two?"
"Ugh, well, if there's anything I'm good at, is taking a beating." Tisha smiled, her body was covered on scars, showing how much battle and bloodshed she had endured through her entire life. "I'll trust you, my love."
"Thank you, dear." Pekora smiled, her Spiritual Magic covering Tisha's entire body. "Then I'm leaving it up to you for now! [Lightning Spirit's Blessing]! [Yggdrasil's Armor]! [Spirit Protection]!"
FLAAAASH!
Tisha was covered on many spells and buffs at once, her stats skyrocketing as she released a mighty Golden and Green Aura!
"I'm going then!"
"You finished with your plan? Whatever it is, I doubt it'll work. But I will humor you. I am bored, surprise me."
The Demon was so confident on his victory that he even allowed Tisha and Pekora some advantage… Marchosias has been inside of Hell for thousands of years, waiting for the time to invade Yggdrasil again.
Naturally, he wanted to fight a strong opponent and have fun. All Demons were like this, bloodthirsty and with the immense desire for exhilarating life and death situations.
FLAAASH!
Tisha combined with the lightning spiritual blessing she was given, her aura turning into frost lightning, reaching Marchosias in a split of a second.
Her sword blazed with frost dragon flames and lightning, as she swung it against the demon faster than he expected her to be!
"[Divine Frost Dragon Blade Arts]: [Thunder Frost Dragon's Fangs]!"
CRAAASSHH!!
A mighty and explosive strike hit Marchosias head-on, as he didn't even dare to defend with his arms and took the attack without faltering!
However…
"Hm?!"
He quickly realized there was a huge wound on his chest, his blood splattering into the ground below, as his eyes opened wide.
The spiritual energy was enough to pierce through his defenses!
"This energy… I have never seen it before."
Marchosias was from an era where Spiritual Energy didn't exist at such a level as now and was not wielded by anybody either.
Every foe he fought only wielded Divine Power and Mana… But Spiritual Energy, although not as strong as Divine Power, had the incredible ability of growing stronger by being combined with these energies.
And even ignore physical defenses to an extent, as it could deal Etheric Damage!
"Hoh, now, now, things are finally getting interesting!"
With a wicked smile, Marchosias intercepted Tisha's next blow with his arms.
"COME!"
His fists clashed against Tisha, who was now several times faster than before. Explosions of frost, lightning, and demonic flames spread across the skies!
CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!
Meanwhile, Pekora touched the ground below, expanding her Spiritual Senses across the immense jungle…
"This place is overflowing with Spirits…!" She smiled. "I'll show you that these plants are more than you can imagine."
