The demon came out from the shattered remains of the glacial coffin like a demon god, its five heads moving independently as they scanned the battlefield. Black blood dripped from dozens of wounds across its body, but even then, its body was healing fast!
Its ten eyes burned and every single one was locked onto Levi.
"ENOUGH!."
The demon's voice roared in anger.
Then it moved with crazy speed.
"CRACK!"
Space itself tore open directly in front of Levi, no warning. The demon stepped through the spatial rift as casually as walking through a doorway.
This was the third time it had caught up to him.
The moment the demon emerged from the rift, Luna moved first.
"BZZT! BZZT!"
Twin beams of concentrated energy erupted from her eyes, aimed directly at the demon's faces!
The demon's tiger head roared, turning to face the attack, but Luna had anticipated this. The beams suddenly curved mid-flight, redirecting toward different targets.
One beam struck the bull head's eyes!
The other beam hit the serpent head's crystallized blood eyes!
"ROOOAAAAR!"
Two of the five heads screamed in pain and fury! The demon's attack faltered for just a fraction of a second—
But a fraction was all Levi needed.
"Thunder Step!"
"CRACKLE!"
Golden lightning exploded beneath his feet! His body became pure electricity, phasing through space itself as he dodged backward!
The demon's eight claws swept through the space where Levi had been, missing by millimeters!
Levi reformed twenty meters away.
The demon turned toward him, but four of its five heads were now damaged, the tiger, bull, serpent, and one of the human heads all had injuries that were still regenerating. Only the agonized female human head remained fully functional.
"INSOLENT INSECT!"
The demon's rage pranked in an instant. Its aura exploded outward with such force that the very ground beneath it began to crack and sink!
Then it attacked with its entire strength'
"BOOM!"
It didn't teleport this time, it simply charged with pure physical speed that exceeded even its spatial techniques!
The demon's massive form created a shockwave that carved a trench through the ground! Stone and debris exploded upward in its wake! Its eight arms spread wide, each claw trailing crimson energy that carved through the air itself!
But as it charged, Aldric and the other top students weren't idle!
"Frozen Domain!"
"WHOOSH!"
A wave of absolute zero temperature slammed into the demon's back, ice forming across its body and slowing its movements by thirty percent!
"Venomous Vines!"
"CRASH!"
Massive purple-glowing vines erupted from the ground, wrapping around the demon's legs and pumping more toxin into its system!
"Gravity Collapse!"
"WENG!"
The weight pressing down on the demon suddenly increased to two hundred times normal gravity! Its charge slowed even further as it had to actively fight against the crushing force!
"Lightning Barrage!"
"CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!"
A dozen thunderbolts descended from the sky, each one as thick as a tree trunk, striking the demon's heads and disrupting its concentration!
The coordinated assault gave Levi the precious seconds he needed to prepare his counterattack.
His hands moved through complex seals, Astra energy gathering around his saber. The blade began to glow, first red, then orange, then white-hot as fire energy condensed to unprecedented levels.
"Inferno Strike!"
But he didn't stop there.
At the same time, he activated Water Manipulation, condensing moisture from the air into a sphere of liquid that surrounded his blade. The water didn't extinguish the flames, instead, it began to superheat, turning to steam that was contained under extreme pressure.
Fire and water, two opposing elements, forced together through sheer willpower and technique mastery.
"Lightning Infusion!"
Golden lightning crackled around both the flames and the pressurized steam, adding a third element to the attack!
Levi's saber hummed with barely-contained power, three different energies spiraling around each other in a deadly helix. The weapon looked less like a blade and more like a miniature star, blazing with multicolored light.
The demon finally broke through the restraints holding it!
"ROOOAAR!"
It shattered the ice coating its body!
It ripped free of the venomous vines!
It surged forward through the crushing gravity!
Eight arms reached toward Levi, each claw capable of tearing through steel!
And Levi didn't dodge.
Instead, he stepped forward, directly into the demon's attack range.
His saber swept in a perfect horizontal arc.
"TRINITY SEVERANCE!"
"KA-BOOOOOOOM!"
The three energies detonated simultaneously upon contact with the demon's body!
The fire energy exploded outward in a nova that turned nearby stone to molten slag!
The pressurized steam detonated with the force of a bomb, the expansion creating a shockwave that pulverized everything within fifty meters!
The lightning energy discharged in a massive electrical storm that arced between the demon's eight arms, paralyzing its muscles and disrupting its Astra energy flow!
"AAAAAAAGH!"
All five of the demon's heads screamed in unison, a sound so terrible that blood began leaking from the ears of every student within two hundred meters!
The demon's charge was was reversed! Its massive body was blasted backward, tumbling through the air like a leaf in a hurricane!
"CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!"
It smashed through four buildings before finally slamming into a cliff face with enough force to split the rock formation vertically!
For three full seconds, the demon lay embedded in the cliff, its body smoking and twitching.
Levi stood in the center of a thirty-meter crater, his transformed body radiating heat waves. His white fur was singed, his three-meter frame covered in burns and cuts. His saber had developed dozens of hairline cracks from channeling such overwhelming power.
He'd given everything to that one attack.
And he'd hurt the demon badly.
But not enough to kill it.
"CRACK. CRACK. CRACK."
The demon's body began to shift, its limbs flexing experimentally. Black blood leaked from countless wounds, but even as it dripped down, it was being reabsorbed. The creature's regeneration was working overtime, fueled by the vast reserves of death energy it had accumulated.
Its five heads turned toward Levi, all ten eyes now burning with absolute hatred.
"You… DARE…"
The demon's voice had changed. It was no longer arrogant or playful. Now it contained pure, undiluted killing intent.
"I shall tear you apart and feast on your soul for ETERNITY!"
"BOOM!"
The demon exploded from the cliff face with even greater speed than before!
This time it didn't hold anything back. Its aura erupted fully, creating a visible distortion around its body as demonic energy rolled off it in waves. The very air seemed to scream as it was torn apart by the creature's passage!
Levi's danger sense went absolutely berserk!
Every instinct he had was screaming at him to run, to flee, that death was approaching and there was no way to survive!
But he couldn't run.
His body was at its limit. He'd transformed into his Tiger form, used multiple golden drops, activated Trinity Severance, his energy reserves were nearly depleted. His meridians were so damaged from overuse that attempting another Thunder Step might cripple him permanently.
And the demon was too fast. Even if he could run, it would catch him.
So instead, Levi made a different choice.
He reached into his spatial ring and withdrew a small object, an arrow, barely longer than his forearm, that seemed to absorb light rather than reflect it.
The Arrow of Abyssal Extinction.
A Tier-3 consumable weapon. One of the most valuable treasures he possessed. Something he'd been saving for an absolute emergency.
This qualified.
Levi's eyes locked onto the charging demon. His mind focused with crystal clarity, designating his target, locking onto the creature's Astra signature. Once fired, the arrow would pursue relentlessly, ignoring distance, piercing through seventy percent of all defenses, capable of instantly killing anything below Peak Fiend Warrior.
The demon was exactly at Peak Fiend Warrior level.
Which meant this arrow could kill it.
"DIE!"
The demon's eight arms reached forward, each claw glowing with concentrated death energy! Its blade-wings spread wide, each feather-blade preparing to launch! All five heads opened their mouths, gathering elemental attacks, hellfire, acid, sonic waves, ice, and pure darkness!
It was preparing to hit Levi with everything simultaneously, to erase him so completely that even his regeneration couldn't save him!
The distance closed, fifty meters, forty, thirty—
Levi's lips curved into a cold smile.
"Can you die for me?"
He didn't throw the arrow. Instead, he simply opened his hand and let it drop.
The moment the Arrow of Abyssal Extinction left his palm, it activated on its own, its Tier-3 enchantments responding to the target designation in Levi's mind.
"WENG!"
Reality itself seemed to warp around the arrow!
It disappeared, not moving through space, but bypassing it entirely, existing everywhere and nowhere simultaneously!
The demon's ten eyes widened in shock!
Its danger senses, far more acute than Levi's, suddenly screamed with the approach of absolute death!
"NO!"
All five heads roared in unison!
The demon immediately abandoned its attack on Levi and instead tried to flee! Its body blurred as it activated its spatial teleportation, tearing through reality itself to escape!
"BANG!"
The arrow appeared directly in front of the demon's chest.
