Chapter 184 Trying Again (02)
The flying demon was quite terrifying given that it looked a lot different from the other demons, the normal demons could stand straight and even the last demon boss he faced could stand straight but this one was slightly bent as its horrible-looking wings sprouted out from its back.
Another deadly thing to note about the demon was its claws which appeared to be sharper and longer than that of the other demons.
The demon let out a loud roar as Luis quickly returned his flaming sword and equipped the Katana blades.
The demon quickly let out a stream of fire from its mouth in an attempt to burn the Angel but Luis wasn\'t going to go down that easily as he quickly raised an earth wall and reinforced it.
The demon kept adding more power to the flames as the Angel was beginning to get pushed.
[ 30/70 Earth points ]
Luis knew that if he continued like this his earth points were going to get exhausted quickly which was why he had quickly rolled away, allowing the flames to smash through the wall.
He wasn\'t let off easily as the demon quickly turned to him again and fired another stream of fire.
"It\'s time to fight with fire," Luis said.
[ Flight activated ]
The Angel quickly flew up as the stream of fire swooshed through below him.
The Angel started throwing fireballs at it immediately after he had flown up, the demon was trying to use its fire attack again but the Angel wouldn\'t let it as he kept throwing fireballs at it.
The demon screeched as it kept flying backward but Luis wasn\'t going to let it off easily as he kept following it and throwing fireballs at it.
[ 50/90 Fire points ]
The Angel stopped throwing the fireballs after he had seen his fire points drop to that extent but he still had something up his sleeves as he equipped the Katana blades once again flew close to the demon as fast as he could, slashed down its right wing, and while the demon was falling flew towards its other wing and cut it off too.
The demon let out a loud screeching roar as it dropped to the ground and the impact from his fall alone was enough to shake the ground.
"Now who has the aerial advantage." Luis said as he swooshed in toward the demon targeting its head but before his blades could make contact with the head, the demon shielded itself with its hands, and the blades were met with a clanging sound.
"That\'s it, I\'m taking off that head." As he turned to face the demon after missing that attack.
He flew in again with full speed but this time he wasn\'t planning on zooming past the demon after the attack as he slashed down targeting its head again.
The demon once again used its hands to protect its head and that was the perfect opportunity for Luis as he quickly summoned the game\'s flaming and because its skill was still on cooldown powered it with his ability and then slashed off the demon\'s ear from the side.
He wasn\'t exactly aiming for the ear but it was all he could get for now and he was glad that he had gotten the hit.
The demon let out a roar louder than the other ones as Luis quickly flew black aware of what was about to come and he also knew he wasn\'t going to like it.
He let out a weak sigh as he watched the demon\'s wings grow back and immediately after that the demon flew up to face him.
He wasn\'t going to allow the demon to fly for long as he quickly zoomed in with the flames in his sword activated.
[ -50 HP ]
He wasn\'t planning to get too close as he stretched the flames of the sword to take out both wings at once, the demon had already decided that it wasn\'t going down alone this time as it stretched its hand, grabbed the Angel by his wings and pulled him down along with it.
"I forgot about those hands." Luis groaned as he slowly picked up his sword and used it to help himself up.
[ Flight deactivated ]
[ Two hours cooldown time has begun ]
He wasn\'t that close to the demon boss because the thing had only stretched its hand to pull him down but he wasn\'t that far from it either and the demon appeared to be in better shape than him.
He quickly turned to see that the demon had opened its mouth wide and before he could react had let out a stream of fire towards him.
"Not this time." The Angel groaned as he raised both of his hands and released a stream of water.
Now it was a battle of who had more ability points and who had the stronger ability as both of them were trying hard to push the other back with the two elemental forces.
[ 30/80 Water points ]
Luis knew he was going to lose out soon enough as it didn\'t look like the demon was slowing down.
If his Katana blades were more like a shield he would have used them in this situation to block this huge attack and then return it to the demon in the form of many blasts but using his Katana blades here meant that he would get consumed by the fire.
The Angel had a plan though as he increased the tempo of his water blast which was enough to extinguish the rest of the fire up to the demon\'s mouth but using it like that had used up the rest of his water points.
The demon was quite surprised by how Luis had won it with his water stream but that wasn\'t the only thing to be surprised about as it looked at the spot to see that Luis was no longer there.
"Arghhhhh!" The Angel yelled as he descended on the demon from above with his Katana blades, the demon was immediately at alert as it turned towards the Angel but it was a little bit too late.

Max\'s watch had been beeping throughout the night and it was only now that he had managed to open his eyes and hear his watch beep twice.
"What?" He said as he brought his watch close to his face. "Sixty-six notifications?" He just couldn\'t believe it.
"But why would he be playing by this time?" He wondered as he looked at his watch which showed that it was five minutes past midnight.
He turned towards Sony\'s bed to see that he was fast asleep and then he reached for his pillow and grabbed his VR headset.
"I\'ll just check it out and tell him all about it tomorrow." He said as he slowly laid back on his bed and put on the headset.
[ Demon Slayer is online ]
He received the notification from the game system immediately after he had appeared in the white space.
"I know, take me to his battle," Max said as he clicked the notification and then clicked the right options to take him to the battle.
[ Entering Demon Slayer\'s battle ]
"Thank you," Max muttered under his breath as he rubbed his hands together.
It didn\'t take long for the white space to disappear as he found himself in a very familiar terrain.
"Oh, this time he decided to choose my favorite terrain," Max said with a smile but that smile wasn\'t going to stay for long.
He looked ahead to see Luis with his Katana blades slashing off the demon\'s head but that wasn\'t the only thing as the demon had also pierced his stomach with its claws at the same time and just like that both of them vanished.
Max felt like there was a huge weight on his limbs as he fell to the floor with a sigh.
"Why the heck does this keep happening?"
