Gura, who was lying on his back, regained his hazy consciousness. Slowly, his thoughts start to be more intact, and he remembers what happened earlier.


    After he let his guard down, a sudden powerful fist that would blow an average human head to smitten managed to shake his brain. Even after he regained his mind back, the shock from the punch still could be felt, and the throbbing pain in his face became a sign that the earlier punch was real.


    For the time being, Gura rose his body up while shaking his head to the side, still gathering his scattered thoughts and dismissing the pain on his face as he tried to raise his gaze. Once again, his body was jolted by a surprise kick from the devil, sting him away from his sitting ce.


    "There is still more toe".


    The devil began to chase Gura''s figure, who got blown away. Gura, who sobered up from the kick, knit his brows as he saw the iing attack. He stabilized himself before taking his battle stance.


    Gura, with his current form, his instinct rang an rm from the side as a fist thrusted to Gura''s left jaw. But now he could see the trajectory perfectly. Gura bent his knee and dodged the iing punch while he delivered his own straight punch toward the devil.


    The devil managed to shift his position to his left, dodging Gura''s attack, but another hand from Gura''s back interfered, trying to restrain his limb. So the devil leaped back to regain his momentum. He saw the eight tentacles behind Gura''s figure, making him knit his brows as he submerged in his thoughts.


    "What''s the matter? Afraid being restrained".


    Hearing the cheap provocation from Gura made the devil knit his brows further. But then he suddenly recalled that Soma had something in his storage that could be useful in a fight.


    As his habit was checking on Soma, the devil knew what was inside Soma''s storage. He summoned the pair of purple gauntlets and the boots, then equipped them instantly. Because he only needed a thought to rece his current equipment. This is one of the benefits of having a legend rank item.


    Gura, who saw the devil equipping himself with weapons, raised his vignce as the fight seemed far away from over.


    At the same time, they both disappear from their ce and engage in close-quarterbat. Gura, using his two four main limbs, tried tond an attack and his eight from behind to restrain the devil.


    On the other hand, the devil observed Gura every Gura''s movement with his eyes that shone red color, dodging every attempt at the tentacle and deflecting Gura''s attack. At the same time, sometimes he slipped a counter in between.


    Gura thrust his straight right to the devil''s face. But the devil easily tilted his head to the side and then readied his counter when his feet felt a tingling sensation of the iing danger. So he canceled his attack and stepped away from Gura''s attack range.


    As they stood not too far away with their battle stance. Gura once again uses his eight tentacles to rush forward, and the devil jumps to the sky and lets his wings carry him.


    "So that wings are not some decoration, it seems".


    The devil who heard Gura cussing at him ignored it. He started to deliver a relentless attack from above like a hawk that snoops on its prey. The devil begins to bombard Gura with his assault, descending from the sky.


    "Get the hell away from me!".


    Seeding in pissing Gura, the tentacle in his back stretches into multiple directions, trying to chase Soma. But the tentacle''s range has its limit.


    "You fool. Hmm?".

    [Adapting to the devil power 1%... 2%...]


    "Tch, such annoying skill".


    The appearance of the translucent window before him made the devil knit his brows in annoyance. He didn''t have any choice but to finish the fight swiftly. The devil ps his wings before distancing himself from Gura, making Gura raise his brows, dumbfounded by the sudden action from the devil.


    As he thought it was a good distance, the devilnded his feet on the ground, and then he started to connect his thoughts to the storage. Albeit faintly, he could feel a residue of the familiar item in Soma''s possession.


    The devil''s right hand shone. Then, from his palm appeared a small transparent vial filled with red liquid. He spread his mouth, revealing his canines. Without any hesitation, the devil pulled off the lid, making the scent that gave birth to despair spread to the atmosphere, making Devi and Gura, who have small devil blood inside, tremble in delight.


    However, their delight soon disappears when the devil in Soma''s appearance shoves the red content in his mouth before assimting with him.


    [Foreign substance detected Devil blood began to assimting with the user body]


    [Extra Skill Adapt activated to extrem]


    [Adapting to the devil power ... 56%]


    The surrounding air shook violently as the ground beneath the devil trembled, for the aura that came from his body erged. A resounding boom echoed through the open space as a menacing red aura began to show its might to the world, creating a shockwave that made the two demons knit their brows in fright.


    [Martial Saint First Technique - Three Steps of Heavenly Lightning Tribtion]


    "...First step - Lightning Scatter".


    As soon as the devil finished saying his words. A hundred tiny crimson bolts start to crackle around his body. Hisnguid hair half stood up for the electricity that coursed through his veins.


    "This is not good".


    Gura, who notices that the fight has tilted to one side, decides to release his trump card. He didn''t want to use this technique because it would put a toll on his bodyter on. But the situation couldn''t let him be lenient.


    "Second steps - Lightning Descent".


    The devil uttered his next phase as the boots on his feet let out a crackling thunderp that shook the eardrums and shone in Crimson color.


    "Devil transformation".


    The words leave Gura''s mouth, turning him into a figure that is not a monster but literally a demon itself. His horrendous face became more menacing. His skin turned ck like it was coated with iron. His towering body became more robust and tall as the aura he released rose astoundingly, almost rivaling the devil who just injected another devil''s blood.


    "Gyaaaa!".


    With the Transformation over, Gura let out a Warcry that shook the surrounding atmosphere. Currently, Gura stood three meters tall with dozens of tentacles behind his back. A pair of ck bat wings emerged, and three horns appeared on his forehead. His human eyes turnedpletely Red, and there were four of them.


    Watching the transformation, The devil increased his techniques.


    "...Third Steps - Lightning strike".


    Gura, who saw The Devil, rose his crimson aura. Knitting his face, he began to concentrate a tremendous amount of Power around his stomach,pressing a ck mass of raw power into a howl. Simultaneously, the devil started to dash from his ce.


    A brilliant color of Crimson and ck faced each other as the two figures who stood in the middle of it were about to collide with each other, with their strongest form.


    [Adapting to the devil power 68%...]


    Inside the stopped world, the devil ignored the message that appeared in his sight and focused himself toward the enemy in front of him. As he approached Gura, who unleashed a howl, the devil who already arrived before Gura unleashed a straight kick toward the condensed power.


    The world turned still as time stopped. Everything that is not rted to the two individuals grayed out. All of the gray color in the surrounding area starts to get sucked into the middle of the collision.


    Their attack collided, creating an earth-shattering boom that shook the sky and the earth. As the collision happened, the surroundings began to pulverize to dust, and the water started to evaporate. Then, what was left of the collision was the disappearance of the bridge and the hollowed Sea.
