At the top of the sky, an ancient tower could be seen covered in mist and clouds. On its top were many torches that were burning in a bright red flame. The wind was making the flame dance to death with it; the sounds of metal colliding and jumping could be heard.
On one side was a seven-foot-long humanoid giant with ash-like skin, three big horns, and glowing red eyes. His body was a little bent, helping him balance while also giving him an advantage when jumping. On both his hands were two big machetes made up of bones, with their edges looked very sharp.
A young boy with silver hair faced him with his whole clothes torn to shreds; he held a sword in his right hand while his left hand was free. There were three black, snake-like shadows behind him, and a spark was created when one of them got in contact with the machete.
They were long, black chains that looked very ancient. The fight continued like this for a minute, where both fighters tried to assess the strength of their opponent. Rishi's hands were shaking; even with his enhanced body and strength, he was not able to take the impact of the opponent's weapon directly.
The three-horned Corpse Demon's eyes also shone brighter; he too got serious now that he knew what his opponent was capable of. Despite looking so young and weak, this opponent had raw strength that matched his own, and the three chains behind him were also a pain in the ass to deal with.
He used them to defend, dodge, and sometimes even attack; what were they? He had never seen such a skill before, so he stomped the ground and decided that the faster he ended his opponent, the better it would be for him. He brought his two machetes in front of his chest, forming a cross, and they both started to glow red.
He jerked them and slashed them toward his opponent, A red energy forming a cross shape was created and reached Rishi in the blink of an eye, giving him no chance to dodge or block. This was one of his skills known as 'Cross Slash.'
A light blue glint appeared in Rihsi's eyes; it was a sign of the activation of the 'Extreme Focus' skill. His mind started calculating the different ways to dodge the attack in front of him to tell him the best way to defend it.
He used the chains behind him to come in front of him and create a shield. He used 'phantom steps' to dash to the side.
He approached his opponent with 50% increased agility due to the Phantom Steps skill, jumped in the air, and used 'Chains of Reaper; he created one magic circle in front to confuse his opponent while creating two on its back.
The opponent didn't have the patience to wait for Rishi to approach him, so he beautifully swung his machete before the fingers of his right hand , loosened and the machete, glowing a bright red, was released as a bullet toward Rishi, who was in the air just six meters above him.
When Rishi looked at the machete coming at him with such speed and power, his lips curled up in a mocking manner. He dived even faster, and just as he was about to get blasted, he used 'Quick Draw' before using 'Sword Dash' to disappear from the path of the attack. The opponent didn't see that Rishi had dodged as he was busy defending the chain with a sharp dagger attached at the front with his second machete.
He shook his head in dismay when he saw what a simple tactic his opponent had used, but just as he was getting carefree, something held both his legs and pulled them back, which made him slip. Even the Corpse Demon King was impressed by this move, but little did he know it was just the first step of a combo attack.
Rishi attacked him with another 'Quick Draw' to finish his combo; three cuts appeared on the leg muscles of the opponent, making it even harder for him to get up.
A shadow appeared behind him and snapped. The third chain came from the front and held the corpse Demon in place. Rishi used the two chains on the legs of the opponent to tie him upside down. The opponent was helpless when he realized he couldn't even lift a finger. He was just a punching bag for Rishi, who smiled and started attacking his opponent with multiple combos.
Even when he had defeated the opponent, there was not a trace of joy on his face; instead, he was enraged: "Come on, bro, you can do better than this. You are a boss monster of hell difficulty; don't give up so soon. I have not even warmed up right now."
The eyes of the corpse demon popped out of his face. He couldn't take it anymore. He roared at the opponent in front of him, and his body started shining in a red glow. Multiple red tattoos started appearing all over his body. If someone looked at them closely, they would look like living organisms.
When the Corpse Demon looked at his opponent to see his helpless look, he found that he was clapping and cheering for him, saying, "That's it; show me what you are capable of. Don't bring shame to your ancestors."
The boss monster was confused for a second before he shook his head and came out of his confusion. He believed it was part of the mind games that his opponent was playing. He closed his eyes and started chanting the mantra, which he had never used till now.
The strange patterns on his body grew and covered his whole body. His ash-like skin was now filled with lava-like strange patterns that were merging at the center of his chest, creating a big red crystal. The three horns in his head also started shining red before growing in size, as did his overall body.
The chains tightened for a while before cracking and glowing in white light and disappearing. Rishi was greeted by a nine-foot giant laughing at him. It was his forbidden skill, Giant Transformation, but he saw the excitement in his opponent's eyes instead of fear and hopelessness. He stomped the ground, creating cracks all over his feet, and used one more skill.
