BXBX NOVEL Chapter 456 Reinforcements Arrive
"This bastard\'s in the middle of the fucking skies!" Said Albert in anger.
"Do you think you can get us there, Josuke?" Rose wondered.
"No, I am already getting pretty tired, I cannot maintain my flight indefinitely." Sighed the young man carrying them, as the Phoenix, or well, the Vermillion Bird dwelling within his body was already asking him to take a break.
"Then let\'s go for Plan B, let\'s lure it." Rose smiled.
The three landed on the ground and then suddenly felt an enormous barrier erecting all around the town. At the same time as that happened, the presences of those three magicians they felt before, alongside hundreds of familiars started appearing everywhere.
"What the…!?" Albert felt shocked. "This much Magic Power and Spiritual Energy… everywhere?!"
"T-This is… Is an Ancient Spirit awakening?!" Josuke felt immediately shocked.
"No… That power is coming from those three, one in specific is handling most of it though." Rose smiled. "Seems like we got the jackpot, they\'re not only protecting the town but also fighting the monsters with an army of plant familiars, they\'re most likely on our side."
"That\'s relieving but how come they\'re so strong? Just who in the fuck are they?" Albert felt conflicted with himself. "The last time I ever sensed such a powerful Magic Power was from the Ancient Spirit Awakening incident in Alaska, the one that ended freezing three whole towns before we were able to stop it…"
"A lot of power in the wrong hands is dangerous, but in the right hands, it can be our hope." Josuke said. "Let\'s trust them. The Vermillion Bird told me they\'re not bad people. The spirits love them."
"If you say so…" Albert sighed, as a black and red aura began slowly surging through his body. "So we\'re doing it now?"
"Yeah, while they\'re distracting the majority of monsters." Rose nodded.
"Well, before that… We\'ve got company." Josuke said, his flames flickering around as the group noticed hundreds of red eyes glaring at them amidst the darkness of the forest.
A group of Giant Phantoms emerged atop the skies, glancing at these unexpected visitors with deadly eyes, while the hundreds of Undead and Monsters slowly began approaching, many Hollows were included in the mix.
"Hmph, to think that more of you pesky humans with magic powers would exist in this desolate and weak planet, it is baffling!"
"Well, they don\'t seem like quite the big shots anyways…"
"Kekekek… I want to devour their delicious souls! That girl is mighty beautiful too!!"
The trio glanced at the talking ghosts while squinting their eyes.
"Giant Phantoms, these are C Rank Monsters." Rose sighed, her eyes suddenly beginning to glow bright red. "Let\'s take care of them before we make our way towards their Boss, if they get in our way, things are only going to get more complicated."
FLUOSH!
Her Aura suddenly changed, as a blood red aura encompassed her body and blood started pouring out of her wrists, which opened automatically upon her command. The blood gathered together, swirling in the middle of the air, and then shaping into several sharp blades that started spinning.
"[Blood Tempest]"
FLAAAAAASH!
A massive spiraling tempest of blood and sharp blood blades engulfed her surroundings, as dozens of monsters that jumped to attack her were instantly engulfed in her powerful attack.
BOOOOOOMMMM!
It didn\'t end there as a massive explosion covered her surroundings almost completely. The bodies of many monsters, undead, and hollows were left in the floor, covered to the brim with Blood Blades, which pierced their magic crystals, making them immediately die one after the other.
"Hey Rose you\'ve gotta calm down a bit! You almost hit me there!" Sighed Albert, his entire body was covered on a black and red aura that emanated a truly demonic power.
Unlike Josuke and Rose, Albert was a normal man. However, on his younger years, he made a contract with a powerful and mysterious demon sealed within the Grimoire that his father inherited to him.
Becoming the demon\'s vessel he gained unprecedented powers, in exchange of offering sacrifices, be it animals, monsters, high quality materials, or even human lives, he\'s able to feed his demon and in exchange, grow stronger.
The demonic aura quickly shaped into a multi-armed demonic being behind him, which crossed his arms while laughing evilly.
"Gahahahaha! That\'s the power of a Vampire for you, kiddo! If only I could eat her soul…" He said while smiling diabolically.
"Shut up and help me out, Hellberos."
"Fine, fine~"
"[Demonic Infernal Manifestation: Claws]!" Albert said, his eyes suddenly turned completely black, as he swung his hands to the left and right, two enormous demonic claws emerged, devastating his surroundings, and slicing apart the monsters nearby into pieces.
CLAAASH! CLAAAASH!
"W-What with those guys?! They defeated almost the entire army of monsters so easily?!" One of the Giant Phantoms reacted.
"We can\'t let them get to the boss…" Said the second.
"We\'ll fight them then!!" A third said.
They were not named "giants" for nothing. Within the many ranks of Phantasmal beings, the more souls they consumed, the larger their phantasmal bodies would grow and the stronger they became, as they were amalgamations of many souls.
"DIEEEE!"
One of them boldly stepped against the three strangers, as his gigantic phantasmal body shapeshifted into hundreds of enormous fists, devastating everything.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Heh, that at least must have killed one or- Huh?!"
However, the only thing the clueless Giant Phantom saw was a gigantic barrier made of blazing blue flames, as a Vermillion Bird Spirit manifested in front of him, protecting her vessel and her vessel\'s allies.
"[Heavenly Flames Martial Arts]…!" Josuke jumped towards the Giant Phantom, as his flames encompassed his powerful fists. "[Ghost-Exorcizing Fist]!"
BAAAAAMMMMM…!
"GRUUUUAAAAAGGGGH…!"
FLAAAAASH!
The Giant Phantom that was hit by the young man\'s fist was completely covered by holy flames, slowly and painfully being completely purified as a result!
"Hoh, I suppose you\'re not half-bad." Phantasmos smiled.
