BXBX NOVEL Chapter 304 No Next Time
With their speed boots out for thirty minutes, this wave of demons wasn\'t going to go away as fast as the first one did.
"I guess it\'s time to test out how well I\'ll do with a water ability." Ace said as he returned his scythe to his inventory and began to form a water bubble in his hands.
"And it\'s time for me to test out these metal abilities," Luis said as he returned his Katana blade to his inventory.
The demons were closing up on them from every direction and one thing that Ace didn\'t want was to get completely surrounded.
He shot out a water blast from his hands to blast the few demons that were approaching them.
The water blast sent them flying backward until they had crashed against a rock but it wasn\'t enough to kill them.
"Try using them in a blade form like you do with your wind ability," Luis said.
"Okay." Ace said with a nod as he formed another water bubble stretched it to form a blade and used it to end five demons on the spot.
"You know, unless you want to form a really long water blade, you don\'t always have to start with the bubble," Luis said as he shot out multiple blades from his hands to end a couple of demons that were rushing towards him.
Fighting with their abilities alone wasn\'t going to be enough to take out all the demons and it wasn\'t long before the demons began to close up on them from all directions.
A couple of the demons shot fireballs at them from both directions.
Ace used a water blast to extinguish the fireballs and Luis formed a metal shield to block the fireballs.
\'You know one great thing about this ability, is that they can be used effectively for both attacking and defending.\' Luis thought.
\'Yeah.\' Lena said.
"My water points are running low." Ace said after blasting back two demons with his water blast.
"Yeah, me too," Luis said as he formed two blades in his hands and used them to take off the head of two demons.
"You still have three more abilities at your disposal and really cool weapons." Ace said as he equipped his scythe.
He ran toward a group of demons before they could close up on him, he slashed two of the demons down with his scythe before he was blasted back with two fireballs from far behind.
"Awwww." He groaned as he quickly took Luis\' hand and got pulled up.
"How many HP did you lose?" Luis asked as he blocked the axes of two demons before kicking them back with a rather stabbing kick.
"Not much." Ace said as he used his water ability to extinguish a couple of fireballs that were heading toward him.
"This fight is really becoming frustrating," Luis said as he quickly ran toward a group of five demons and took them all out with a single slash of his Katana blade.
"Then do something about it." Ace and Lena said at the same time.
Luis let out a sigh as he looked around to see the demons still closing up on them from all directions.
It didn\'t even look like their number had reduced although it had.
"Duck," Luis said to Ace as he formed a bubble in his hands and stretched it to form a large water blade that covered the grounds covered by the demons.
Ace did as he was told as Luis quickly sent the water blade toward the demons decapitating all of them at once.
"Alright." Ace said, slowly getting up.
With the ones in that direction all gone, it was time to take out the last ones.
"Watch this." He said with a smile as he turned to the last demons standing and quickly stabbed his Katana blade into the ground.
White light shot out from the blade hitting all the demons and causing them all to freeze on the spot.
With the demons, all frozen, Luis ran towards them taking them all out one by one and by the time the effects of the skill had worn out, they all dropped to the ground and vanished.
"Why didn\'t you tell me to choose that sword?" Ace demanded quickly walking towards him. "You told me to choose the boots because you knew what they could, why didn\'t you tell me about the Katana blade?"
"I thought a scythe was the only weapon you were compatible with," Luis said.
"Isn\'t there a scythe with a special skill?" Ace asked.
"I don\'t know but there has to be," Luis said. "Maybe after this level, we could see if we could find any."
"Okay." Ace said.

\'I wasn\'t expecting that but, okay.\'
"Three more waves to go right?" Ace said.
"Yeah," Luis said, looking down at his boots.
"It\'s not thirty minutes yet." Ace said shaking his head.
"I know, besides it\'s better we don\'t use them against these demons and use them against the bigger threat," Luis said.
As soon as those words left his mouth, about sixty fireballs came flying towards them from every direction.
Luis knew trying to block all those fireballs one by one was going to be really difficult and they were going to get hit a couple of times and he knew exactly the thing to stop that from happening.
He used his earth ability to form an earth dome that covered both of them and shielded them from the fireballs.
He broke down the dome to reveal themselves as soon as the dome had stopped receiving impact.
It wasn\'t a surprise to see that they were completely surrounded by the demons numbering one hundred and forty.
"Ok, this is really cool." Ace said as he stretched the bubble he had formed in his hand to cover the grounds covered by the demons.
"Compared to how you use your wind ability, not really," Luis said.
Ace converted the water to blade form and sent it flying towards the demon.
The water blade had managed to take care of most of the demons because unlike Luis\' water blade, some of the demons had managed to block this one with their weapons.
Now it was time for Luis to deal with a great deal of the demons on his side.
He stabbed the Katana blade into the ground to release the white light that managed to hit most of the demons and froze them on the spot.
It couldn\'t hit the other demons because it couldn\'t reach them.
Luis was okay with the number of demons he had gotten as he ran towards them and took them all out before the effects of the skill wore off.
With the Katana blade, he had taken care of about fifty demons now it was time to take care of the rest.
He returned his Katana blade to his inventory and equipped his flaming sword.
He increased the flames a little bit with his fire ability and with it he was able to take down the remaining demons without getting hit by anyone.
After taking care of the demons, he turned toward Ace to see that he had his hands on his knees and there were no demons around him.
\'I can\'t believe they still haven\'t shown up.\' Luis thought.
He was really looking forward to seeing Sony and Max, the two guys that somehow showed up whenever he hopped into the game, he was surprised they had not shown up till now.
\'Maybe they have gotten answers to the reason why they were stalking you or maybe they\'re just busy.\'
"Yeah," Luis said looking up to Ace who had walked closer to him.
"Two more to go now." Ace said, sounding a little out of breath.
"Yeah," Luis replied with a nod.

The night was still dark in Asaka with the only source of light coming from the moon which apparently wasn\'t a full moon.
The hooded figure which had just escaped getting caught by Carl in the palace made its way into the forest just outside of Asaka and into a cave.
The cave appeared to be dark at first but as he went deeper the light in the cave could be seen coming from two torches fixed on the wall.
"Did you get it?" A female voice asked as soon as the hooded figure had stopped moving.
"I tried but the two knights were with him, I\'ll get it next time." The hooded figure answered with a voice very similar to the one who had asked the question, it was clear it was a female behind the hood.
"There will be no next time." The voice replied as a hand went through the hooded figure\'s body and when the hand was removed she dropped to the floor to reveal someone exactly like her behind her.
As soon as the hooded figure dropped to the floor she turned to ash, as two new people just like the one she just killed got pulled out of her body and were standing in front of her now.
"I hope you two can do the job?" She asked.
The two new clones replied with a nod as the lights in the cave immediately went out.
