"Take this, Blood Demon!" I swung my sword wildly, occasionally unleashing various Magic Flame Bullets to assist my attack. "You're not even worthy to be my opponent," the Blood Demon mocked, launching a counterattack. I was hit by several moves, spitting blood and retreating. Below, Enis wanted to help but I stopped her. "This is a man's fight, stay out of it!" I wiped the blood from my mouth, carefully recalling the techniques I'd learned in recent days. Suddenly, I remembered one move that might work. "Decided how you're going to die yet?" The Blood Demon suddenly closed in and slashed at me. Startled, I tried to block, but his speed was too fast, and I couldn't defend in time. His blade struck me, and the blood from my wound was absorbed by his Blood Demon Blade. The blade glowed red again after absorbing the blood, and the Blood Demon used it to unleash a Blade Slash—the same move that had targeted the Emperor Ba—now coming at me. Unlike the Emperor Ba, I didn't try to tank it and chose to dodge instead. The crimson blade split several mountain ranges behind me in half. Luckily, I avoided it, or it would've been disastrous.
While secretly gathering my strength to prepare that move, I knew it was my only chance. The Blood Demon gave me no time to breathe, rushing forward with relentless slashes. His attacks were so ferocious and swift that I could barely defend, let alone counter. "I think it's about time to end this," he declared, activating his ultimate move. He raised his magic sword high, energy pouring into it endlessly, dyeing the sky a dark red. "Blood Devouring God Slayer!" A massive dark red blade of light slashed toward me. This was my final chance. I activated my absorption magic: "Radiant Spirit Surge!" I blocked the blade with both hands, absorbing its energy. The power was so overwhelming that it exceeded my body's limits. My skin began to tear and bleed. I endured the pain, persisting until my body could no longer withstand it. I stopped absorbing and redirected the energy I had taken in. As the absorbed attack energy clashed with the blade, I pushed forward desperately, trying to shatter it. "Not so easy!" The Blood Demon added another slash. A second blade of light came at me. Even with the absorbed energy, I couldn't block two blades at once. In my final moment, I deployed a defensive shield to mitigate the damage. Unable to withstand both blades, I was blasted far away, my shield shattered completely. Covered in wounds, I crashed to the ground, my body riddled with broken bones and my consciousness fading. I was powerless to resist. (I didn't expect the Blood Demon to be this strong. Looks like I'm done for today. Sorry, Enis…) I thought in despair.
"Divine Sealing Imprint!" At that moment, Judo seized the opportunity and cast a sealing spell on the Blood Demon. "Ugh!" Caught off guard, the Blood Demon activated his magic to defend himself. Judo poured all his strength into suppressing him, trying to seal him into a bottle. Emily also transferred her magic to Judo, boosting his power. With all his might, Judo struggled to force the Blood Demon into the bottle. "Why?!" The Blood Demon was finally sealed inside. Judo quickly plugged the bottle's opening. Through everyone's efforts, the Blood Demon was successfully sealed!
"Did it work?" Emily asked cautiously. "Hah, hah, looks like it did," Judo said, panting while holding the bottle. Just as everyone was about to celebrate, cracks began to form on the bottle. Judo hurriedly pressed down on it to keep the Blood Demon from escaping, but the force was too strong. The bottle shattered. "Blood Source Slash!" With a slash, the Blood Demon broke free, wounding Judo's hand in the process. "How dare you humiliate me! Prepare yourself!" Enraged, the Blood Demon gripped his sword tightly. Even Judo's ultimate move had failed. No one could stop him now. Helpless, everyone stared at the Blood Demon. Was this the end of the world?
