A Demon's Journey

As he was fleeing, Edwin continued to set up electric mines that slowed Jonas by a couple of seconds.

These electric mines were practically invisible, but if Jonas concentrated hard enough, he could detect them. However, even if he concentrated hard and discovered the mines, his peak speed would be too fast for him to dodge the electric mines.

But if he slowed down his speed to dodge these electrical mines, Edwin would slip from his grasps.

"Flame Breath!" Jonas released flames in Edwin's direction and burned all the electric mines in his way.

Edwin continued to use his Holy Ardor to fly at his top speed. When he sensed that Jonas was using Flames to burn those Electric Mines, Edwin immediately stopped setting up those electrical mines.

Edwin pointed at Jonas with his right arm while his body faced forward and flew in that direction.

"Hellflame Cannon!"

His two fingers released a strong blast of pure Hell Flames that targeted Jonas. Edwin's Hell Flames was one of the strongest flames from Purgatory.

Even if his cultivation was lower than Jonas's, the flame could still damage Jonas.

Jonas was shocked when his Flame Breath was cut apart by those purple flame blasts. He knew precisely how strong his flame breath was.

Even a 6 Star Warrior couldn't easily ignore it. Yet, an attack from a 5 Star Warrior had easily cut apart his flame breath. This attack was definitely beyond ordinary.

Jonas immediately lowered his altitude to dodge that attack.

As he dodged the Hellflame Cannon, Edwin gauged his position and launched another blast at him.

Jonas was startled once more as he soared up to avoid the assault. He was about to shift his stance to fire his own attack when another Purple Flame Blast was launched at him, forcing him to move to avoid it.

Jonas clicked his tongue in annoyance as he was forced to change his position again and again.

Jonas thought while dodging another attack.

Edwin was quite efficient in terms of attacking Jonas. However, he knew that this wouldn't be enough for him to escape.

Jonas wasn't the only 6 Star Warrior after him. Many warriors were approaching him from all directions.

Edwin could sense these many warriors, but he wasn't sure how many warriors were keeping their presence concealed by wearing those clothes that blocked spiritual energy.

Due to this reason, Edwin remained clueless about the true number of warriors in any particular direction.

He had to think a lot before choosing in which direction he should flee. And in the end, he was fleeing in the direction from where he sensed an average number of warriors.

Soon enough, he came into contact with those warriors. When those warriors saw Edwin, they were shocked to see demonic horns on his head and celestial wings on his back.

All the warriors stopped and launched their respective attacks at him. Multiple elemental attacks were released in Edwin's direction.

There were so many attacks that it was impossible to dodge them all. Edwin knew he was going to be hit with some attacks. Thus, he used his Mystical Eyes of Perception and gauged the power of those attacks.

Not all attacks were launched by the 6 Star Warriors. There were attacks belonging to the 5 Star Warriors as well.

Soon, Edwin had analyzed all the attacks, and he was on the move!

He'd determined the absolute pattern for flying between those strikes while taking the least amount of damage!

Many warriors were surprised but also delighted as they saw Edwin diving into that large barrage of attacks.

From where they stood, they didn't believe that Edwin had any chance of surviving those attacks.

Multiple explosions occurred that blinded these warriors for a couple of seconds. No one was worried, though.

Since Edwin had dived into those attacks, he was bound to die. Their task was done. They could return now and receive the promised reward.

But when the light returned to their eyes, they saw waves of Purple Flames being launched at them.

Many warriors immediately ran away to dodge those Purple Flames. When they raised their heads, they saw Edwin was still flying. There were a few scratches on his body that were healing rapidly.

Jonas noticed that Edwin's speed had slowed down a little, and he could finally launch his attack.

"Light Comet!" His spear lit up with strong embers of flame, and Jonas threw it towards Edwin.

Edwin sensed that Flame Spear approaching his body and flew up ahead to dodge that Flame Spear.

Jonas smirked when he noticed this attempt and spoke, "Not so quick." He raised his arm, and suddenly the spear that was about to pass Edwin stopped.

It then changed its direction and launched itself in the direction Edwin had dodged.

However, it ended up being useless when Jonas changed the spear's direction again. The spear was quite quick, and it immediately stabbed Edwin's guts.

When the Spear stabbed his guts, he immediately sensed the Spear Qi overflowing in all parts of his body.

Jonas smiled in relief as he felt that the battle was finally over. He had finally managed to stab Edwin's stomach with his spear.

His Spear was going to inject even more Spear Qi within Edwin's body. It wouldn't be so easy to deal with his Spear Qi.

The connection between Jonas and his Spear was so strong that they could be considered a  single entity. The Spear Qi within Edwin's body was coming straight from Jonas.

Jonas continued to approach Edwin and even tried to recall his spear when suddenly, Edwin moved his arms and grabbed hold of that spear.

There was a resolute look on his face as he clenched his teeth and whispered, "Celestial Hell Flames!"

Suddenly, Purple Flames and Golden Flames lit up around Edwin's body.

Jonas frowned as he saw those two kinds of flames. They gave him a very strange feeling. Those Golden Flames especially. He felt as though he had sensed them somewhere else.

"Burn! Burn! Burn!" Edwin kept on muttering those words with a slow voice as those Golden and Purple Flames suddenly flared up around him.

The heat was so great that the Warriors around Edwin felt that their skin was burning.

Jonas frowned when he noticed his Ardor and his Spear Intent were absolutely burned.

"It seems I can't escape without a fight," Edwin spoke with an absolutely serious expression.

He stopped here to have this fight because he had sensed a large number of warriors in the area around him.
