Cosmic Peak

Aren saw as the countdown hit zero, and suddenly, lots of small islands started to produce from the blood sea and the burning boulders floating in the sky blasted and turned into smaller boulders.

Aren flew higher in the sky as he looked at the dark red sun in the sky before looking down at the islands and debris.

*CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....*

Suddenly, a dark red beam released from the island towards Aren along with a loud screech as Athan saw a blood feathered demon coming out of nowhere towards him.

\'Where did that feathered demon come from?\' Aren thought with a frown while dodging the incoming attacks.

The blood feathered demon chased Aren as its dark red wings seemed to be powered up by the floating debris in the sky. The burning debris would be doused as if losing some kind of energy in it and fall down into the blood sea whenever the demon passed by the debris.

\'Fast!\' Aren was flying backward so he could observe the demon. Seeing its speed increase, Aren attacked it with the <Demonic Grasp> skill while rapidly changing his hand movement by controlling the gauntlet gear with his thought.

He fired the ten seeds in such a way that the demon wouldn\'t be able to dodge them.

*CREEEEEEEEEEE....*

Several demonic vines bound the demon, and taking this chance, Aren recalled his [one shot] gear that he had kept a kilometer away from him when the countdown turned 0.

<Hyper Charge>

<Heavy Strike>

<Demonic Flame: Zarkhel> (powered up to 30 spirit energy per second)

Aren also increased the weight of the gear by 12.9% using his spirit energy\'s purple spectrum effect due to Demon Yakum\'s Spinergy Method.

The [One shot] gear came wreathed in dark blue flame and shining with blue sparks as it hit the feathered demon at the speed of 1372 meters per second while bearing the weight of 1289 kilogram.

The weight was this heavy because Aren used the armalist essence he got after breaking down the sword to give [Increased Weight] buff to the [one shot] gear.

-59,999

Not even a tiny bit of flesh remained of that feathered demon. However, Aren was somewhat surprised by the damage number. The demon\'s health was 60,000, but he was sure that his [one shot] gear could deal 100k damage with its gathered kinetic power and buffs.

Suddenly, a laser beam came from a different island.

However, Aren kept flying in a chaotic manner, so the laser beam didn\'t hit him as whatever demon attacking Aren failed to predict Aren\'s flying course to get a successful hit on him.

*CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....*

The feathered demon suddenly revived at the place it died, and...it seems to be getting berserk as well.

*swooooooooooosh....*

Aren\'s eyes popped out of the socket seeing the speed of the demon coming towards him as all he could do was to bring the hammer in front of him while also trying to dodge.

However, a dark red blady feather shot out of the feathered demon after the demon hit the hammer with its claws-hands.

*puchiiiii....*

-1345 [cursed cut: your cut-off arm will not recover with normal means.]

The blady feather cleanly cut Aren\'s right arm from the shoulder while Aren was flung away like a bullet as the overwhelming force of his own hammer hit him.

-1145

Aren\'s organs were jolted and a bit raptured as he was flung back five-six kilometers away.

However, Aren didn\'t let out even a tiny squeak as he knew the situation had become far dire than he expected. The adrenaline was working, but his endurance of pain due to past experience kept him sane.

\'Why the feathered demon didn\'t die?\'

He focused with his Astral-X eyes as he saw the feathered demon flying towards him. It was clearly oozing out with more power than ever as its size had become double and was clearly twice as powerful.

\'I have 3 seconds...,\' Aren thought coldly as he didn\'t even bother healing himself with the health potion due to no time and manipulated his hammer with his thought.

He calculated the distance of the feathered demon reaching him and put his hammer 759 meters away from him.

He waited for one second before manipulating his hammer to shoot towards his direction, albeit a meter in front of him.

Aren just stood there while his attention was on the feathered demon as well as on the large rising water behind it as all islands started to gather together to become a giant rocky demon with plants all over its body.

The feathered demon zoomed towards Aren with its giant claws pointing towards Aren.

But just when it reached one meter from Aren, the [Destructo] hammer without any buffs hit it.

[-0]

A mystical barrier appeared around the demon when the hammer hit it, completely negating all damage. However, even though the feathered demon didn\'t die, It was flung away at least eight kilometers away.

Aren figured this would happen since the demon stopped at 1 HP and had an immortal status beside its health bar when he checked its information with his Astral-X eyes.

On the other hand, the large 10-meter tall demon roared loudly as ten blood-red lasers shot towards Aren from random places on its body.

However, Aren easily dodged them while manipulating hammer and chakram to attack the demon.

He flew towards the giant demon before stopping one kilometer away from it.

\'5 seconds until that feathered demon comes back. Before that, I will have to finish this giant demon,\' Aren thought coldly as he poured whole 400 mutant magic energy into the hammer and activated the <Impact Burst> skill.

*ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM....*

The hammer flew towards the giant demon\'s head, who could not dodge. But a massive demonic flower bloomed in front of the demon as some sort of shield against the hammer.

However...it was of no use against the powerful attack of the [Destructo] as the hammer easily broke the barrier before hitting right in the head of the giant demon.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.....*

[Collosus Isle Demon killed. 12,000 Exp gained.]

"Two seconds," Aren muttered as he turned to his left side and saw the feathered demon coming at a speed that surpassed Aren\'s speed.

However, he observed every detail of the demon with his Astral-X eyes. He also saw that the immortal status beside its health bar had disappeared.

\'As expected,\' Aren thought as he waved his hand as he manipulated his hammer and chakram while flying backward at his full speed to create some distance for a sure hit.

He knew that if he attacked the demon first, the demon could easily dodge it with its flying ability and speed. So the only choice to get a sure-fire hit on the demon was to make himself as bait.

While flying backward at full speed and observing the demon, Aren made calculations while observing with his Astral-X eyes.

He got two more seconds by running back, and it was enough.

He stopped mid-air, waited for the demon to come at him, and when the demon was just a meter from him, the hammer and chakram both hit it.

[-1]

[Indomitable Feathered Demon killed. 10,000 Exp gained.]

The first thing that Aren did was to take out health potions and pour them into his mouth.

*gulp...gulp...gulp...gulp....*
