The moment he called out the technique\'s name, a wave of miasma burst out of Pride\'s body, making Eliza and the knight who was beside her take a step back due it.

Pride\'s physical body turned into a streak of dark light that flew into Evan\'s body.

When the light died down, Evan\'s possessed appearance could be seen, with his fair skin turning a shade of light gray and unique marking appearing on his forehead, nose and cheek.

Two lines appeared on both wrists, with segmented curve lines appearing on his forearms. A pair of black bat-like wings emerged from his back, tearing through his already torn shirt as they spread out to reveal their three-meter wingspan.

In his left hand, was his recently acquired weapon, The Unforged. In his right, was the Sword of Pride, Vanitas.

[Evan. We have Five Minutes.]

Hearing Pride\'s voice in his mind, Evan nodded as he called out the name of the skill he had been saving for this moment.

"Limit Break."

|Limit Break;

Type: Rare Active Skill

Effect;

A skill to go over one\'s limits!

It amplifies the user\'s power by three times their basic stats. The boosts scale depending on the opponent\'s level.

Restrictions;

Once used the user will be heavily fatigued. Using it for long periods of time will damage the user\'s body. |

The skill was self explanatory, being one that multiplied his power by three times for a certain amount of time.

Although he hadn\'t gotten the way to go around the drawbacks of the skill, he had no choice but to use it now.

His foot dug into the ground as he watched the battle between the five royal knights and the Demon Xakon.

Taking a deep breath, he activated paladin as he kicked off the ground, dashing in their direction.

◇　◇　◇

At this point, Xakon could not be any more enraged.

Not only were the knights stopping him far more tenacious than he expected, one of them was not too far from him in level, being a master level existence just like him.

With the master level, comes the ability to manipulate aura. At this stage one could imbue aura into their bodies to strengthen them or infuse aura into their weapons to attack.

"Royal Knights Bladework: Sever!"

"Cutting Edge!"

**SCHRINGGG!!!

The two blades slid across each other as sparks danced around, Xakon gritting his teeth as his true form release was nearing its end.

\'Five minutes, that\'s how long I have.\'

He turned his gaze in the direction he tossed Evan in earlier to check if he had been healed by the blonde mage, only to be met with the sight of someone dashing towards him at high speed.

Xakon coated his hand in aura and grabbed the blade of the master level knight in front of him, pulling the blade along with its wielder with all his strength and tossing him in the direction of the incoming figure.

To his surprise, the person dashing towards him ignored the knight and let him fall on the ground, even stepping over his body and using him as a foothold to propel himself even further.

Xakon coated his weapon in demonic energy as his magic power had long been exhausted during the fight against the master level knight.

***CLANGGG!!!

His blade collided with the two blades of his assailant as he held up the flat side of his blade with his other hand to block.

He locked eyes with the twin blade wielder and realised it was the figure of the young hero he wanted to kill.

"Hap"

Enhancing his physical strength with aura, he forced the boy backwards and sent in a punch which was blocked with the flat side of his opponent\'s black blade.

Pulling his hand back, he stared at the form of the boy in front of him and couldn\'t help but comment.

"First you were fighting alongside a demon, next you\'re letting the demon possess your body.

Are you really a hero?"

"I\'m not your typical Hero!"

Evan replied as he flapped his newly acquired wings to boost himself in Xakon\'s direction, with the latter closing the distance with sword raised high.

**CLANGG!!

The collision resulted in a huge \'clang\'. It was a sign that the power behind both their blades was tremendous.

They were both knocked back but the two of them didn\'t hesitate to dash back towards each other, closing the distance once more.

Like so, they began exchanging a flurry of strikes as cuts began to appear on their exposed body parts.

Although Evan Had two blades, he was obviously not used to fighting with them so his efficiency was a lot lower than Xakon who was using one.

Taking advantage of one of Evan\'s slip ups, Xakon sent a kick towards the demonic possessed hero\'s torso, sending him flying in the air.

He immediately flapped his wings and took flight but Evan regained his balance and launched a skill wile being mid air.

"Vortex!!!"

A roaring spiral-shaped mass of magic power shot out of his each of the blades in his hands, and dashed towards the airborne Xakon.

**BAAAMMM!!!!

Xakon was surprised at the speed of the attack and delayed in putting up defenses. He was thrown onto the floor from the force of the attack even though he maneuvered in the air to dodge most of it.

The demon crashed on the ground with enough force to create a small crater around him, his armour not being able to stand the repeated bashing as it cracks began to spread around the chest piece.

Evan landed on the ground and stretched out his black wings as demonic energy exploded from his demon-possessed body.

Xakon got up and raised his sword just in time to block Evan\'s double overhead slashes, before rolling out of the way to dodge the foot that came stomping down on his chest.

He spread his wings and took flight faster than Evan could pull his blades off the ground, but the young hero did not give him the chance to enjoy his aerial superiority.

"Aura slash!"

Evan swung the two blades, releasing a cross shaped aura slash that flew into the air towards Xakon. The demon reacted quickly and dodged the slash, however that was just the beginning.

**SWISH!! SWISHHH!!

Evan swung his two swords repeatedly, activating the aura slash skill each time he swung them.

Xakon stretched his wings, dodged the aura slashes, and flew right at Evan. He swung his one-handed sword while flying horizontally, and Evan flapped his wings, flying up towards him to meet his attack head on.

**CLANGG!!

Their swords collided as the both of them were knocked out of the air, landing on the floor simultaneously.

Evan extended the unforged and filled it with magic power as he thrusted it powerfully.

Xakon blocked it with a thrust of his own, despite it being the tips of the swords that collided, both of them were pushed back.

The young hero was the first to get back into position and attack as Xakon was forced to respond belatedly.

He swung the two black swords, but Xakon deflected them and stabbed towards the middle of Evan\'s chest, he also didn\'t stop there.

The two exchanged strikes at speed they normally would not be able to reach, with the power behind each slash increasing exponentially.

Each time Evan was in a situation where he could not dodge, he hurriedly used Blink to take distance before either blinking to Xakon\'s blind spot or charging in again.

"Lightning! Flames!"

**CRACKLE!

Sparks danced across the unforged\'s blade while flames engulfed the sword of Pride, Vanitas.

Both his swords began to dance through the air.

Unwilling to be outdone, Xakon began to swing his sword as fast and as powerfully as he could.

***CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Their blades continually met, resounding in repeated \'clangs\'.

Right after Evan pulled the unforged backwards, Xakon launched a whip like high kick towards this hand, causing his grip to loosen and the blade to fall out of his hands.

**SWIIISHHH!!!

Without wasting time, he dropped his leg and swung his sword downwards, aiming to cut Evan\'s arm but the young hero just grinned fearlessly.

"Energy Blast."

From his now open palm, a beam of condensed magic power was fired, hitting Xakon square in the face and sending him flying backwards.

**BAMMM!!!

Evan wasted no time in infusing vanitas with magic power and throwing the sword towards the airborne Xakon.

In the heat of the moment, he didn\'t notice something black emerge from his shadow and dash in Xakon\'s direction.

He then summoned the unforged back into his hand and flapped his wings, boosting himself into the air as he began gathering magic power on the blade.

Although he crashed into the wall of a nearby building, Xakon still saw the mass of black metal flying towards him and rolled out of the way to dodge the blade.

Before he could stand up, sensed magic power from above and looked up to see an airborne Evan with his sword raised high.

Xakon tried to stand up and jump out of the way to dodge the incoming attack, however, to his surprise, he realised that he was unable to move!

His arms and left leg had been pinned to the ground by some sort of dark shadowy arm that emerged from his shadow.

Meanwhile Evan had retracted his wings and allowed gravity to bring him down to the ground.

Xakon\'s short moment of surprise from unexpectedly being restrained by something, was enough for Evan to fall into a suitable range.

"VORTEX!!!!!"

The young hero screamed out as he thrusted his sword down wards, the roaring spiral-shaped mass of magic power and demonic energy around it slamming into the body of the immobilized Xakon.

**KAAABOOOOMMM!!!!

"GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

Xakon\'s scream of pain rang out as the domineering force of the enhanced vortex shattered his armour, penetrated through his aura enhanced skin and broke his bones to pieces.

Right at that moment, Evan\'s limit break skill was released, alongside the demonic possession. The young hero was suddenly hit with a wave of weakness across his entire body.

Before he lost consciousness, Evan saw a familiar blue notice board pop up in his dimming vision.

[Level Up!]
