Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

I'm a fireball (242)

Inside a cave, an armoured beast engulfed by raging red flames continued to fight against nothing, their claws swiping at thin air and somehow producing blood that continued to add to the large amounts of blood coating its fur.

Luckily, the flames were slowly burning away the blood, but its not like that made a difference.

Kai growled darkly as he threw himself at one of the invisible monsters, impaling it with his claws before slamming it into the wall of the cave. Then, he turned around and threw the invisible beast, hitting some of the other ones and buying him a split second of respite.

So far, none of the creatures had been able to breach the defense provided by Chrome Skin, which was a good thing, only each blow landed on Kai damaged a little of his body underneath the lustrous set of armour. The damage wasn't bad though, considering his body was stronger than it had ever been and was currently being boosted by a Legendary rarity skill.

Plus, even if he did get injured, Kai could just use Minor Restorartion to heal himself. Even if the skill worked rather slowly and consumed a fair bit of Mana, it was still a worthwhile skill to use if the situation went downhill.

And the situation did seem to be going downhill.

Hit after hit, Kai was slowly getting pushed back, towards the exit of the cave where Petunia and Cecilia had gone. He and Esurient were doing a good job on holding back all of the Forgotten Husks, but who knew how long the would be able to keep it up.

Esurient pierced the invisible head of another one of the beasts, killing it instantly as it soared towards its next target. By now, Esurient's already red body had become an even darker shade of it, like a sword that had been forged out of the blood of a demon.

Every move they made was precise and calculated, and their body was burning with a bright red intensity.

Why wouldn't it be? After all, Kai had infused it with Soul Inferno before letting the sentient blade wreak havoc. Currently, it's body was much sharper than it would normally be.

Sadly, Kai's claws could not enjoy the same boon as they weren't classified as items, but he could intensify the flames coating them so that it practically had the same effect.

Kai roared and swiped in a wide arc, catching numerous abominations and clawing them open, streams of blood shooting at him. His armour was slowly being dyed a dark shade of red.

Every attack took something out of him, but he also took something out of the beasts in return, be it flesh, blood or strength.

Twirling with absolutely no finesse or skill due to his massive size, Kai managed to block an invisible arm using his armoured forearm before leaning down and catching the invisible body of the beast in his mouth and using Bite of Umbra.

The taste was abysmal, like he had just taken a bite out of overcooked meat that had been rotting for over a year. Kai's eyes started to tear up as he spat out the horrible tasting chunk of invisible flesh, he then finished off that abomination with a swift swipe of his claws.

The notifications continued coming into his mind.

By now, they had managed to kill about ten of the invisible beasts, but it was nowhere near enough, there was another three dozen left minimum.

And the situation was only going to get worse from here. With every passing second, the abominations got closer and closer to dealing some sort of meaningful damage to Kai.

And worst of all, the flames hugging their bodies were just about to die out, meaning Kai wouldn't be able to keep track of them anymore.

Something had to change.
