Extra's Perfect Ending
Chapter 59: Theodore's flames
Running out of time, Theodore increases his ferocity. His fist began moving faster and faster the more his body burnt down. he couldn't afford to waste any more time with this demon. The flame burns brighter and brighter, each hit also deals considerable damage to the demon.
Reeva's expression darkens as the first comes right into his gut. He still couldn't fight, he could only use his arm to cover his face but that's just left Theodore free space to punch him in the body.
Moreover, Theodore is a complete monster in his own right, he was able to exert so much mystic force with so little waste. And through sheer grit, he was able to last through the flame that was covering his body.
His combat prowess leaves no room for Reeva to counterattack. He didn't even know what to do. His low combat knowledge plus the fact that Theodore is fast gives him no room to react. And the flame made the guy look more like a demon than Reeva.
Bang!
Reeva's arm met with Theodore's fire fist. The arm char with the fire, as some pieces of his skin fell off and made a black ash. After seeing that the monster could be hurt, Theodore doesn't hesitate to increase his aggressiveness.
Puch after puch, Theodore is relentless in his attack. Reeva couldn't keep up with the mystic power usage. He was able to gather endless Happiness from nearby people but the amount that it generates is not fast enough.
With every punch, Theodore exerts a certain amount of mystic force with the fire. And Reeva has to answer with the same amount of it. However, the difference is in the type of mystic force they have. Raw mystic power is not as powerful as pure mystic force.
Raw mystic power is like an unpolished iron sword, it could cut something but would not be as shaped and powerful as Pure mystic power, which is like a Polish iron sword. Reeva has to exert more happiness when the two clash to match Theodore's sun god belief.
Reeva could only grit his teeth, he had an infinite source of power but he lost because it couldn't generate fast enough. Add that on top of the lack of combat skill and Reeva could see why he was losing. He needs to change something.
He had two things that he could pull out of his pocket, a gun and a white slate. Both of these could turn the tide of this situation, however, it's hard to use both of them when a flaming man is assaulting you.
He needs to create more space.
Reeva tried to move backward, avoiding some strike that came his way. Some punches are missing but he still gets hit by most of them. After receiving a punch on his arm, Reva couldn't help but feel something was wrong.
Bang!
He receives too much mystic damage for him to bear. His left arm which he used to block the flaming blow crumbled and turned into dust. Leaving only his right arm to fight for his life.
"Shit"
Curse escapes from his mouth as his happiness runs dry. His emotions are turning back to normal as he uses up most of the mystic power he has. Only maintaining the bare minimum to stay in demon form.
Another punch came right into Reeva's face, he reduced the mystic force with his raw mystic force but he wasn't enough. The fist filled with mystic flame came right into Reeva's face. His body flew from impact. He found himself further away from Theodore for the first time after engaging with the bald priest.
Blood drips from his face as he quickly gets up expecting Theodore to come right at him. But Theodore has been slower than Reeva expected, and at that moment he realizes that Thoeodre is slowly burning himself too.
When Theodore was beating him up, he was unable to notice that, but after gaining some space, he was able to do so. The burns Theodore has sustained have turned his hand black. He was guaranteed to get third-degree burns all over his body if his mystic power ran out.
He was as insane as Reeva was for transforming into a demon but Reeva could turn back after [Expiriment] expired but Theodore couldn't, he would need intensive care from other healing priests to even be able to walk if this goes on any longer.
His heart arch
Theodore is his enemy sure, but he never has anything personal with the guy. He came here just to see what the grey robe man was about. He already got his answer, and he truly doesn't wish anyone to suffer.
"Theodore, let's stop this fight"
The bald man looks surprised after hearing Reeva. Demons usually don't talk.
"I don't talk with demons"
"At this rate, you'll die"
Theodore looked dumbfounded, he could hear a little sympathy from the demon. Unlike anything he has ever seen before.
"It's a small price to pay to rid demons out of this world,"
Naturally, Theodore couldn't let the demon stall for time and went after it. The body travels slower than before but it's fast enough to catch up to Reeva. This time it was his last, his body was about to give out.
A ripple of flames shot through the air as the fire fist punch struck Reeva square in the face. That was not Reeva, though, that he struck. However, Reeva is holding a white slate in his hand.
Theodore's eyes widen, he knows exactly what this thing is. He tried to retrieve his hand but Reeva would not let him do that. His demon-strength finger grabbed onto the punch, not letting the Priest free.
"No!"
The mystic power in Theodore's body drains out at a rapid rate, and the white slate increases in size as it gobbles the sun god's belief.
The fire that spread across Theodore's body is disappearing. The priest's body contorted as the pain came rushing in at once. He fell to the ground, his strength was lost after suffering the injuries.
Theodore's clothes burn away leaving only burnt flesh for the people to see.
"O light...."
A chant came in a rough voice, barely holding on from laughing.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
