Chapter 26: Nutcracker

The demon is clearly underestimating the bamboo sword of Moonlight. I can't blame him though, that bamboo sword that she wields is very deceptive enough. It looks like it was a normal sword that once hit with a very hard object like the demon's body, it would snap.

"I will make sure you will get snapped into two! That will teach you a lesson!" the demon said and sent a shockwave blades causing the floor to rupture and cause destruction on its path.

"Hehe, then work hard and you might be able to snap my "sword" into two if I really have a "sword" of course," Moonlight said and stretches out her right palm to the wave of the demon.

BANG!

The waves collided with Moonlight but amidst the impact, it didn't reach Moonlight. It was because after Moonlight stretched out her arm, a blue barrier appeared.

"How weak. Is this what you call your "power?" Why I don't feel it? This is so pathetic," Moonlight said as she slowly approached our former teacher.

I was about to follow her but I quickly sense an upcoming attack from behind. Without hesitation, I retreated and throws a fireball into the hallway where I suspected the attack came from. And while the fireball is in midway, it collided with something I can't see with my bare eyes. All of a sudden, something just punched me on my abdomen causing me to get stunned and expel blood out of my mouth. That was a very unexpected occurrence. Due to the impact, I was sent flying to the opposite direction where Moonlight and our former homeroom teacher was currently fighting. Moonlight was surprised but she couldn't help me out since the demon keeps her occupied.

That was a strong impact. I think I got my left arm broken after trying to reduce the impact on my body. It's quite painful but I didn't complain. Standing up again, I activated the blazing shoes and Burning Gloves at the same time and rush to the invisible demon. Since the enemy is invisible, one thing can only help me in this battle.

"MANA SCAN! PERSPECTIVE VERSION!"

There are two kinds of version in Mana Scan, the normal one, and the perspective vision. Unlike the former one, the Perspective Vision allows the user to see the surroundings in your eyes, instead of the usual 3d version that this magic do. It was like you have an x-ray vision installed in your eyes, only though you can see the mana flow. As soon as my vision activated, the demon hiding in the darkness appeared right before my eyes.

"You won't get away from me now!"

With the help of the blazing shoes, the speed of my sprint is doubled, allowing me to get close to the demon. The invisible demon did not expect me to get close to him since he was in invisible mode. I didn't dare to waste this moment. Igniting my right fist, while my left hand supports my right fist. All of the force of my punch is focused on my right hand. I breathe in a mouthful of air before releasing a punch.

BOOM!

The demon that I punched with full force just budged a bit but he didn't get sent flying like I expected him to do. Instead, his invisibility is canceled out.

"Oh, it looks like you are a decent magician to be able to cancel my invisibility. However, you lack power."

I gritted my teeth and retreated a bit. My left arm stings a lot and if not for the injury, I might have given him a bit of pain. I observed the guy who is currently attacking me. This guy is not someone I know but maybe I have seen him in the crowd but I am quite sure I have not interacted with him. But due to his demonic form, half of his face has been changed into something similar to an Oni Mask while his other half retained his normal face. One word to describe him: HIDEOUS.

His arms are still their weapons but it is not similar to the arms that the demon I faced last time. It looked like a sledgehammer, only attached to it's to his arms. No wonder he managed to sent me away without problem, he is a blunt weapon user.

Also, from my observation, he can swiftly cover distance since he managed to arrive next to me when I just threw the fireball and hit him with it a bit farther in the hallway. Also, what is bothersome, he can turn invisible without any problem.

Doing the same tactics would only be making my attack patterns easy to read, therefore, if I cannot make my arms do the punch, then I would just use my legs and feet.

"I don't know why you demons are still here and I don't even know what you lot are trying to accomplish here, but I won't just stand idle and watch. You all need to die!"

Getting close to the demon's abdomen, I ignited the gloves and released a punch. And as expected, the demon, managed to block the punch.

"Is that all? It didn't hurt at all," the demon grinned.

"Ah, yes. It isn't painful at all because I don't even have any intention of attacking that. I have to attack this!"

And before he can react, I knee strike him on his erogenous area. As soon as my knee landed on "that" place, his face twitched and he paused from his tracks. It was already clear that I crushed the two circles hanging there because my knees are one of the attacks that I specialize in. I made sure that my knee strike is full of power. Because even the toughest guy will crumble if "that" place is hit.
