Chapter 8: Time Halt!

"Why should I run away when we both can butcher this demon, just like a chicken!" He blurted out while straightening his back in pride. The way he looked at the demon was filled with disdain.

Marvin's attitude was simply arrogant, yet they sensed that he didn't have any power to back it up. To be arrogant without strength was simply courting death. Abigail and the shape-shifter could sense Marvin's weak magic power. They determined that his magic power was merely around ten.

"A rank-2 trash dare be so boisterous?" The demon-shifter thick legs bent and his body leaned forward. He darted towards Marvin, just like an arrow shot from its body. He was gonna end this trashy weakling life, once and for all!

Sanding before Marvin, Abigail took a defensive stance. She couldn't move out of the way unless she wants an innocent person to die. The crackling sounds in the air intensified, becoming increasingly terrifying. Lightning roiled about, the snakes and dragons made from lightning all congregated together into a ball before erupting outwards with incredible power, transforming into hundreds of long whips.

At this moment, the demon that darted ahead suddenly snorted let out a cold snort. "I have just been playing with you, little girl!"

Instantly, the shape-shifter footstep turned illusory in Marvin's eyes. Its body turned into consecutive afterimages, evading all of the lightning whips, right after, he pounced towards Marvin that stood behind Abigail, who stood as astonished as Marvin.

"So fast!" She didn't even notice where the demon had gone to, by the time she sensed Its location, its infernal claw-like hands were right in front of Marvin's throat, threatening to rip it apart.

"Time Halt!"

Right at that moment, Marvin's eyes flickered and with a single thought, the shape-shifter was instantly stopped in its place. The reddish-black claw-like hand was merely one inch away from his throat. By a mere inch, he has survived this ordeal.

Just when Abigail thought that it was his end, she witnessed something unbelievable, disbelief apparent on her pale face. Realizing that he didn't die, her eyes opened wide in surprise and her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

She was having a hard time fighting the demon, yet here it was, petrified on the spot because of Marvin's eyes shining in a spectacular blue hue that enchanted her gaze.

"HHow did you do that?" she stuttered as she still couldn't believe that Marvin, who was merely a weak chicken, can stop the demon in its track.

The man in question wasn't interested in answering her question, as he was barely holding on to dear life. He had intentionally taunted the shape-shifter to trap it in a pincer attack, and it worked, but the pain that he was feeling for stopping a being far more powerful than himself was soul-wrenching, he felt as if ten thousand needles were piercing into the most sensitive part of his brain. Furthermore, due to the pain, he was paralyzed on the spot. Moreover, his pig teammate wasn't following up on his signal.

She wasn't dealing the sure-kill attack to complete a freaking done-deal!

Marvin puked blood and cried imaginary tears because of her airhead attitude.

The white in his eyes has turned red as he glared at Abigail. His eyes nearly popping out of their sockets said it all. He wanted her to deal the final blow as he couldn't for the pain has stiffened his malnourished body, but the damn hoe just kept on looking at him with a surprised look while standing still, hence with teeth gritted he decided to just say it.

"Hurry up, my ability won't last forever!" Marvin shouted in desperation. His eyes moved from Abigail's sword to the demon's neck.

"Ah~ My bad!" Abigail exclaimed, bowing her head down in an apologetic gesture, right after, she turned towards the demon to deal the final blow. A dazzling blue and red light shone from in-between Abigail Moon Sword. Following that, the blue and red light instantly expanded on each side of her sword and spread to the back of her body, once again creating Wings of Flame and Thunder's entire body. The fierce blue and red wind resembled several small snakes and pythons as they exploded out, spanning for some inches.

Just one look at her caused Marvin, whose eyes had turned red, to have a completely new understanding towards Awakened, and he strongly wished to acquire the same amount of power.

The demon didn't whisper a single word, for its time was halted, yet it could clearly see what's happening in the surrounding. It was raging in anger, yet couldn't move a single inch as if an All-powerful being had suppressed It entirely.

The front and back part of her Moon sword has completely changed. The slender body of the sword boosted by the attributes of her master seemed threatening enough, but when she brandished it towards the demon, it released lightning snakes, flame pythons, and crescent moon arcs that shot towards the vulnerable demon, whose vision was blinded by the dazzling array of attack.

The multitudes of attack crashed on to its body, almost immediately, its head was blasted, just like a watermelon exploding, blood and brain juices spurted about as its lower body completely turned into ash due to the expansion of the explosion, which had suddenly increased the strength behind her attack by more than ten time.

Its entire lower body had been exploded into smithereens and its head was now crumbling apart. A gentle wind brushed Its head, turning into ashes it scattered in thin air.

"Phew!" Marvin had stopped using Time Halt, the moment Abigail attacked crashed upon the body of the shape-shifter. Feelings returned to his body, as the pain started to die down.

'I can finally move!'

He exhaled and inhaled slowly as Abigail stepped towards him.

"Just who are you?" She asked him, a suspicious light flickering in her eyes.
