Chapter 18: Depravita of Wrath vs Abyssal Mantis (I)

"I Am Wrath!"

Those words echoed across the battlefield as Vlad's white Force burst from his body with immense power, skyrocketing his strength and increasing the might of every stat twofold!

Just as Vlad's power skyrocketed, the golden force field finally shattered, removing the barrier that kept the abyssal demon at bay.

"¡BOOM!"

Not even a second had passed since the barrier faded when an explosion echoed. Everyone turned to the origin, seeing Vlad's sword and the Abyssal Mantis's scythes clashing in the middle of the battlefield. The impact sent vibrations through the ground and shattered it, a testament to the titanic struggle unfolding between the young man and the massive demon.

The eyes of Depravita and the abyssal demons were locked on each other, ignoring everything else. Each of their souls had only one goal: to kill the other and emerge victorious.

Despite the initial equilibrium, the mantis's superior brute force gradually pushed Vlad back, its scythes a blur of deadly precision aimed at killing.

However, Vlad's enhanced agility allowed him to dance on the edge of death. As one scythe sliced towards his neck, Vlad leaned back, narrowly avoiding a lethal cut. He twisted his body in the same fluid motion, closing the distance between him and the mantis. With a swift double strike, his swords found their mark on the demon's chest, leveraging a previous wound to inflict significant damage.

"¡Boom!"

An explosion of Force echoed as the strike landed point-blank on the Abyssal Mantis's chest, sending it back ten meters. The Abyssal Mantis's body was extremely hard, and its dark Force made it even more resilient, yet a thick trail of black blood spread everywhere as Vlad struck the exact point Asmael had before.

"ROAR!"

The Abyssal Mantis's eyes widened as it saw the wound on its chest, and its rage exploded as it unleashed a demonic roar, making its dark Force even stronger.

"¡AHHHHHHH!"

Vlad matched its rage with his own defiant cry, making his wrath explode with even more strength and improving the power of his Force and body as he flashed toward the Abyssal Demon.

The sound of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield as Depravita and the abyssal demon kept clashing with more and more strength, moving across the battlefield and sending everything in their path flying away.

It didn't take long for the sound of explosions and fighting to echo as well once the angels and abyssal demons overcame their shock at such a massive fight and began to kill each other again.

Vlad's face twisted in rage, yet his mind was extremely clear as he struck with his sword at the shoulder of the Abyssal Demon, leaving a deep cut.

At that moment, the abyssal mantis aimed a devastating blow designed to split Vlad in two. Anticipating the move, Vlad dropped to one knee, letting the scythe pass harmlessly overhead. Seizing the opportunity, he thrust upwards, targeting the demon's underbelly, a spot less protected by its chitinous armor.

A cold smile appeared on Vlad's face as he saw the wounds in the abyssal mantis' chest growing more extensive and profound. However, his eyes narrowed as he saw a scythe coming down with overwhelming momentum, forcing him to pull back.

Although Vlad managed to avoid having his head split in half, the scythe still wounded his chest. However, the wound only increased his wrath, pushing his body forward with more strength!

The strength and speed of the Depravita and the abyssal demons kept increasing as they fought with indiscriminate power, destroying everything around them. White blood and black blood spread everywhere as they kept hunting each other, showing nothing but killing intent in their attacks.

As the battle continued and the duo's momentum increased, a turning point arrived as Vlad faced the dual scythes bearing down upon him so fast he could not dodge. Rage and determination appeared in Vlad's eyes as his swords raised in defiance. The ground cracked under the immense pressure, a testament to the abyssal demon's intent to cleave him asunder.

Vlad felt his shoulder would shatter at any second, yet his stance remained unbroken, his eyes ablaze with unyielding wrath.

The Abyssal Mantis kept pushing down with all its strength, trying to cut the young man into three pieces, but Vlad did not falter, his eyes growing more and more wrathful.

"¡AHHHHHH!"
