Chapter 162: The Power of a Strong Demon

Chapter 162: The Power of a Strong Demon

Sasha finds herself up against the powerful demon of Hell, Gentorious.

“Scared or not, I have to defeat you!” Sasha shouts.

“I’d like to see you try,” Gen replies coolly. “You’re nowhere near your potential right now.”

Sasha charges and leaps toward him, launching into a flurry of kicks. Each strike meets his arms, his stance unmoving. He blocks every attack without even flinching.

She lands and steps back, quickly forming a Dark Energy Ball before launching it at him. Gen catches it effortlessly in one hand.

“Nice ball,” he says, glancing at it. “But its power leaves it as nothing more than a toy for me to play with.”

“How about this!?” Sasha shouts.

Sasha forms a Dark Spear and rushes forward, driving it straight into the captured energy ball. The impact detonates it in an explosion of dark energy. Before the smoke can clear, she forms another Dark Energy Ball and throws it, triggering a second explosion.

She waits, wanting to see the results of the attack.

The darkness fades. Gen stands exactly where he was, completely unharmed.

Sasha freezes in shock.

Gen scratches his belly casually. “Hehe, that tickles. Sorry, but if that’s the best you got, then this fight is already over.”

Fear grips Sasha tighter. Her eyes lose focus, hope draining rapidly.

“I… No…”

“I can’t blame you for being scared,” Gen says. “Not many could witness my power and not be scared of it.”

He roars and slams both arms into the concrete floor. Cracks spread outward as chunks of stone are torn free. With a brutal punch, he sends the uplifted concrete flying into Sasha. Jagged fragments strike her body, slicing into her skin and drawing blood.

She doesn’t react in time as Gen closes the distance and punches her straight into the ground. The impact leaves her battered and in pain.

He grabs her and throws her across the room while charging a magic beam in his mouth. The beam fires mid-throw, striking her while she’s still airborne. The beam blows her into the wall. She slumps against it, her eyes barely open, as Gen approaches.

“Look at you,” he says. “Down for the count already. I used very little of my power. Otherwise, you would have been blown completely out of this fortress. One could be surprised that you are even the Dark Goddess’s daughter. Do you still need more convincing?”

He pauses, leaning in closer.

Sasha’s eyes begin flashing, shifting back and forth between her human appearance and her Dark Divine Eyes, red irises set within black sclera. She’s barely conscious.

Gen stares, then smiles.

“Excellent. There is hope for you yet. I shall cease this battle. Even if you won’t return right now, I can assume you will once your true powers have been permanently unlocked.”

Sasha only stares up at him blankly as her eyes continue to flicker between forms.

“Perhaps she shouldn’t have… Never mind,” Gen mutters. “I’m just rambling at this point.”

His body shifts, returning to his human-looking form.

“Stop your foolish plan of helping the son of the Light Goddess defeat Kogen,” he says. “Kogen is an Enigmus and a very powerful one at that. I purposely did not kill you, but he would have no problem tearing you apart. With your current power, he could do just that. Let the beings of light take him on and lose their numbers in the process. You have been warned.”

Sasha’s focus slowly returns. Her eyes stop flashing and settle into their human appearance.

Gen leaves the room. The wall of dark energy blocking her path vanishes, clearing the way forward.

Sasha pushes herself to her feet. She begins talking to herself.

“So that is the power of a strong demon… He’s wrong though. He’s very wrong…”

She clenches her fist tight.

“I will unlock my true power and then… I will crush the demons that follow the Dark Goddess without mercy…”

She yells up at the ceiling. “I hate you, Dark Goddess! I hate that I’m bound by your cursed blood!”

Sasha has now experienced the power of a strong demon. Her determination to crush the demons that follow the Dark Goddess has been ignited, and her hatred for the one whose blood flows through her continues to grow.
