Chapter 10: Kurt vs Smog

Chapter 10: Kurt vs Smog

Kurt faces off against a demon of Hell! The poison demon, Smog, wants nothing more than to kill Kurt right where he stands!

Still standing in the area with many rocks and boulders, Kurt and Smog face off, ready for battle.

Smog grins, oozing with confidence. “Shall we begin?”

Kurt begins powering up his Aura magic. A transparent blue magic surrounds his entire body. The edges of the blue magic aura flow around his body like a wave. He clenches his fists tightly and narrows his eyes with intensity. “You are going down!”

Two parts of Kurt’s aura around his shoulders extend outward into large whip-like appendages.

“I’ll make the first move!” Kurt shouts.

He sends the two aura-formed whips at Smog, who chucks up big pieces of rock to block them.

Smog begins to ingrain black poison into a big rock next to him. He lifts it and then hurls it at Kurt, who opens his eyes wide.

Kurt dives out of the way to dodge, but the rock breaks into many smaller poison rocks. Controlled by Smog’s magic, the smaller rocks begin chasing Kurt on their own. He attempts to jump out of the way, but they land damaging hits against his back, tearing holes in his clothes and leaving wounds on his body. “Ahhh!”

Smog chuckles. “You see, we can command our poison when we ingrain it into objects.”

Kurt falls to one knee, gritting his teeth in anger and pain. “Bastard!”

He gets back on his feet and prepares for another attack. Five more whip-like appendages made of aura extend out from Kurt’s aura. The seven aura whips surround Smog on all sides, preventing him from escaping. This allows Kurt to get in close and land a hard-hitting punch to Smog’s chest.

Smog winces. “Lucky hit— huh!?”

Kurt quickly begins his next attack and kicks Smog in the face, which knocks him down.

Feeling pain, but still far from defeat, Smog gets up and then charges at Kurt. He roars, not happy that Kurt successfully dealt him painful blows. He jumps in the air and then tries to body slam Kurt. However, Kurt stands his ground and is ready to counter. He has his aura whips release blasts of energy upon contact that damage and stun Smog.

Kurt jumps in the air and slams his foot down on Smog’s back to kick him down to the ground.

Smog pushes himself off the ground, his anger gazing directly at Kurt. He’s panting. The blows have added up. “It seems I have underestimated you. I guess it’s time I unleash my power.”

Kurt stares intently as Smog begins powering up with a dark aura surrounding his body. One of his claws increases in size.

Smog grinds his teeth. “You may not be as weak as I thought, but you won’t survive when I’m not holding back.”

“We’ll see about that!” Kurt yells as he unleashes all of his aura whips on Smog, but they do not harm him at all.

Kurt’s eyes widen in surprise. “Oh shit…”

Smog charges forward and uses his big claw to try to strike Kurt, but Kurt barely dodges as the claw strikes the ground, causing it to shake just a bit.

In a difficult situation, Kurt begins to run while trying to think of a plan. “There has to be something I can do! My attacks can hurt him! I just need to refine my strategy!”

Smog gives chase, like he is a predator hunting prey. “Running now, I see? What happened to that confidence you had?”

As Kurt is running, he combines his seven aura whips into one. He quickly turns around and screams with intensity. “Mega Aura Whip Attack!!!”

A giant aura whip is unleashed from Kurt’s body aura, and it lands a powerful hit on Smog, bashing into him with enough force to knock him back. Smog opens his eyes and mouth wide in the process. When he finally hits the ground again, he drags against the ground, carving into it.

Gaining his confidence back, Kurt grins. “You may not be affected by many whips, but all of them combined were enough to damage you even at full power.”

Smog coughs up some blood as he sits up, staring back at Kurt undeterred. “That may be so, but if that is your only means of damaging me, then you are not going to last long.”

Kurt clenches his teeth as he thinks to himself. “He is right. I can’t just keep doing this to victory. I have other aura attacks, but I don’t know if I could use any to finish him at the moment. I have to think fast, or this is the end of me!”

Kurt is in a fight for his life. How can he defeat a demon?
