Extra's Path To Demon King

Chapter 349: Demon & Dragon [2]

Axel’s smiling face vanished as he saw the partially transformed dragon prince rush towards him madly. He released every single ounce of his killing intent, thinking about all the negative events that happened to him, as well as all the determination he could muster, amplifying his bloodlust through burning his obsession.A black colored rune pattern appeared on top of his red demonic eyes, taking on a shape completely different from the usual runic eyes. His black horns curved slightly forward ever so subtly, almost impossible to notice. A rune sword appeared in his hand, three symbols of the same pseudo-rune of lightning etched onto the sword.

At first, the runes were blue, but when they were coated with a massive amount of demonic energy, another layer of his sinister killing intent was added to the coating on the rune sword. Axel could feel his runic swordsman skill activating, and the moment he began powering the sword with both his 2nd-phase demonic energy and killing intent. A surge of terrifying power burst forth from the sword.

Subtle cracks spread all over it. Violent arcs of massive red lightning radiated from the sword, destroying the surroundings even more. Axel also coated himself with the demonic energy and his killing intent, reinforcing his body. Then, instead of channeling that violent red lightning outward, he started to circulate it within himself.

Another burst of power was acquired. Three violent energies, each fundamentally different from one another, started clashing and amplifying each other greatly, rampaging through his insides. In fact, it was too much for him to bear. He was only a partial demon, not strong enough to handle such devastating powers, making a wreck of his insides. But that was fine as well, too much is exactly what he needed at the moment. To overpower the protagonist of this world. And that feat itself... how could it be so simple?

Bzzzzttt–KRKHHHH–ZRAKKK!

Violent charges of red lightning spread outward from his body, destructive lightning cackled throughout more than 100 meters around him, and the air itself growled from the thunderstorm the demon was causing. Dark clouds gathered above his head. Axel could see that Lucien had already closed half of the distance between them; he was running faster and faster. Determined to kill him.

Axel’s mutated runic eyes shimmered darkly, and as the world slowed down, he analyzed all the energies causing endless destruction in the surroundings. As well as the energy and attacks of the dragon prince. The rune eyes autonomously showed him multiple paths and attack methods he could use and determined the process for starting their second clash.

Axel dashed forward, his power and speed amplified by the three potent forms of energy, surpassing his previous levels by a significant margin. With a mighty push of his foot on the ground, his figure leapt high into the sky.

Pulling his sword upwards, grabbing it with both hands, Axel concentrated all the red arcs of lightning he could generate into the sword. His entire figure became illuminated in a reddish flash high in the sky. Lucien, from beneath, again gathered all of his dragon aura into his throat, but this time, he used his control of the gold element and infused a heavy amount of it inside the dragon breath in a method different than before.

The prince let out a resounding draconic cry, but this time, fire did not come out of his mouth; what came out of his mouth was a golden ray of light fired like a massive laser beam. And its threatening power was no joke.

VRRUUOOOSHHHHHHHHHH!!!heless. It seamlessly integrated his existence into the demon bloodline, as if he were born into it rather than converted.

Then he bent down, took the ring from Lucien’s hand, broke the slight restriction placed on it, something relatively easy for him as a runecaster, looked into the space inside, and took out the Necklace he had made for Lumina. He also took all the high-level potions and forging materials, as well as any other pricey stuff the imperial prince had. Having no shame whatsoever. The prince could refill his stash from the royal money whenever he wanted. But Axel had to earn every single dime himself.

{Side Note - when Lucien had transformed into a partial dragon within the void, when rescuing Lumina, he could exert far more of his power there in the absence of the world will. As there is no external suppression within the void.}
