Life and Death!

"True Demon Body!"

The Formless Ancient Demon—every scrap of its power came from abyssal demonic energy. Tracing it back to its source, that meant Abyss Moss.

The opposing water and fire elements produced Annihilation Force, erasing the property-based energy attack. The hollow in its chest had already made the Formless Ancient Demon break out in cold sweat at the lethal threat. After blasting the Barbarian Giant several thousand meters away with a single strike, it took advantage of the time needed for the giant's wounds to heal. The spheres of pure demonic energy raised in its other two hands transformed into a torrent that poured into the ancient demon's head.

Crack, crack, crack...

A chaotic series of bones grinding and squeezing sounded from within its body. Fangs proliferated wildly from its crocodilian maw, and with a whoosh, two flames ignited in its pitch-black eyes. Heavy, deck-plate-like scales once more covered its body.

Staring at that distorted dark void that tore at the light from every direction, the Formless Ancient Demon threw a sudden punch into empty air without warning. Boom! Boom! Boom! Space collapsed in a chain for hundreds of meters, striking dead center into the dark void charging at it without regard for anything else.

Bang!

In the distance, the center of the dark void stopped, as if it had suffered a heavy blow, yet it made no effective counterattack.

The Formless Ancient Demon rasped viciously, "Just as I thought. Though you possess some close-combat methods and have strengthened your melee offensive power, you sacrificed the long-range attack capabilities of ancient wizards. An incomplete... hm, right. A Stigmata Wizard."

The Formless Ancient Demon smugly analyzed and guessed. Its battle instincts had already discovered Green's weakness: at present, Green's Annihilation Force could only unleash its might at close range.

Crackle,
