BXBX NOVEL Chapter 270 Perfect Excuse
Luis had finally come up with the perfect excuse to cover up the reason why he could do all these things in the game and that was why he had decided to use the only thing that would give him a fair advantage over the demon.
\'It took you that long to figure this out.\' Lena said.
"Not now Lena," Luis said as he closed up on the demon and tried to slash off its neck with both of his flaming swords but the demon had blocked its neck with its hands.
Luis\' blades hit the demon boss\' hands as he flew past him and quickly returned to attack from behind but the demon had quickly turned at the same time and tried to punch him down.
The Angel saw the demon boss\' hands coming toward him and he did the quickest thing that came to his mind.
He flew higher and ascended with both of his swords slashing down hard on the demon\'s hand.
"Finally." He said with relief in his voice as he flew backward.
The demon boss had two small cuts on its hands and both of them had come from Luis\' flaming sword.
The demon still had a little bit of durability on its skin but it wasn\'t as strong as before and the drop in durability may have come from Luis\' counter fire attack.
\'Skin durability failing that means the neck doesn\'t have to be your only focus now.\' Lena said.
\'But it\'s still my main target.\' Luis replied as he flew towards the demon giving it the impression that he was coming directly at it.
The demon boss opened its hands and tried to grab him but he quickly flew high just in time to avoid the hands and came down with a double slash of his flames on the demon\'s head.
The demon let out a growl as it tried to grab the Angel again but he quickly flew back to a safe distance to avoid getting grabbed.
"He\'s fighting the demon alone and he\'s doing pretty good," Max said with a fascinated look on his face.
"Yeah, it\'s because of those wings, weapons, and abilities of his that he is able to keep up," Sony said.
"That\'s exactly the point," Max said.
Luis was glad to see that he had made a crack on the demon boss\' head and now he was going to try something different.
\'You shouldn\'t have wasted your fire points trying to take us out at once.\'
The young Angel returned his flaming swords to his inventory as he formed a large bubble in his hands stretched into a long water blade and sent it flying towards the demon.
The water blade slash covered range didn\'t give the demon any space to avoid the water blade slash as it hit, creating quite a mark.
"Now we\'re getting somewhere," Luis said as he sent out another water-blade slash.
The demon tried to use its hand to block it this time but the slash had gone through its hands creating a deep wound in the process and forcing out a loud groan from the demon boss.
"Now\'s our chance," Max said as he ran toward the demon boss with his boomerang.
"What are you doing?" Sony asked.
"He said to help him in any way possible," Max said as he continued running and finally sent his boomerang flying towards the demon boss.
His target just like last time was the neck as the boomerang dragged itself on the demon\'s neck creating quite a deep opening before flying back to him.
The demon let out a loud growl, this growl wasn\'t like the other ones, it was more fierce and shook the entire forest.
The demon turned to Max and raised its legs to match him into the ground.
"Oh no, you don\'t," Luis said as he flew in from the side, and with the momentum from his speed, he pushed back the demon.
That push had so much power in it that the demon was falling over now.
\'You know just falling won\'t kill that thing.\' Lena said.
\'Yeah.\' Luis said as he quickly equipped his flaming swords and increased their flames with his fire ability.
He quickly flew toward the demon before it could reach the floor and with all his strength channeled into his swords he took off the demon\'s head before it could hit the ground.
A cloud of dust was formed around the area as soon as the demon boss hit the ground obstructing Max and Sony\'s view of what was happening in the area.
They looked in the direction waiting for the dust to clear up but before the dust could clear, Luis flew up.
"He did it," Max said with a smile on his face.

\'I should have gotten more than that given how tough this demon is.\'
\'If you had used your wings from the beginning, it wouldn\'t have been that tough.\' Lena said.
\'No, if the demon hadn\'t wasted its fire points like that, it would have still given me a tough time in the air.\' Luis replied as he landed in front of Max and Sony.

As soon as that message appeared on his system screen, his wings retracted.
Max stared at him with a stunned look on his face before Sony shook him to snap him out of his daze as the two had already made a deal before Luis landed in front of them.
"I know I said it was okay if you didn\'t want to tell us but those wings got my curiosity stirred up again," Max said. "We promise we won\'t tell anyone, just tell us how you did it, how you did everything you\'ve done so far."
Luis didn\'t reply as she stared at him for a while before turning his gaze to Sony and then back to him.
"Even if I tell you, I\'m not sure you\'ll be able to do it," Luis said.
"Really?" Max said.
"Yeah because I didn\'t do it myself, it was the creator of the game that put these features in my headset," Luis said.
"You know the creator of demon battle?" Sony asked as this was beginning to sound far-fetched to him.
"Yeah, and he said those headsets you guys are using fell into the ocean when he was returning from somewhere," Luis said this part to clear their doubts about him knowing the creator of demon battle.
"We did find the headsets on the beach." Sony said. "But how do you know him?"
"He\'s our martial arts teacher at our academy," Luis said.
"You guys practice martial arts?" Max said and Luis responded with a nod.
"Wow, we only get to practice physical combat, no special moves, just how to fight," Max said.
"Yeah, I was quite disappointed during my first year to discover that there was no martial arts class at Phoenix academy," Sony said.
"You guys are from Phoenix academy," Luis said.
"Yeah, what about you?" Max asked.
"Crockel," Luis said.
"Crockel?" Sony said, sounding surprised.
"So the creator of demon battle is a martial arts teacher at Crockel academy," Max said.
He wanted to ask more questions but Luis\' body had begun to disintegrate.
"Are you in your dorm room?" Max asked.
"Yeah," Luis replied looking at his body which was disintegrating from below.
"Then someone\'s in your dorm room," Max said.
"Just pray it\'s not a Jane," Sony said.
"Huh?"
"Don\'t mind him," Max said. "So are you com…."
He couldn\'t finish what he wanted to say as Luis\' body had turned into pixels before fading away.
Luis regained consciousness in his room only to see his VR headset hanging over his head.
"Michael." He said quickly sitting up on his bed.
"You\'re here gaming unaware that you\'re in serious danger," Michael said.
"Huh?" Luis said with a confused expression on his face.
"I\'ll explain everything to you at my lab," Michael said, grabbing him by his arm as they got covered by white light.
