Chapter 41.2: The Awakened Demon

Two Hours Earlier...

Seconds after Kashi fainted, he was forcefully transported to his inner world, where he was faced with a terrifying sight. Monstrous, malevolent blanketed the sky, blotting out the sun. Black lightning thundered through the skies as tornadoes roiled the seas into large tsunamic waves.

Kashi's gaze traveled to the demon centaur who floated in the sky at the center of the storm. The demon's skin and fur had turned purple, eyes glowing red with a sinister glare. The daeben could sense an unfathomable power bursting out of the crystal in its chest.

It appeared that defeating the demon had somehow caused the crystal to explode with even more power. Could it be that the demon was suppressing the crystal's power this whole time?

"In that case..." Kashi muttered as he stretched out his right hand. The eyes of the dragon that laid curled beneath Yggdrasil snapped open, fire and lightning burning in its eyes. "I'll just have to remove that crystal myself." Kashi said, as he took out FPB and nocked a mana arrow.

ROOOAR!

The black-scaled dragon's roar shook the dimension as it roused from its slumber. The divine beast glared in the direction of the centaur, and then, with a heavy flap fo its wings, instantly took to the sky.

Kashi grinned as the dragon burst past him. He tapped his feet against the air and also shot toward the centaur with blinding speed. Within his world, Kashi was a god. It seemed the ability of flight was one of the added perks of owning his own world.

The demon centaur let out a crazed roar as it charged toward the incoming foes with wind and lighting surrounding its enlarged frame.

CRACKLE! BOOM!

What followed next was an epic battle of disastrous proportions. The sky was split in twain, oceans vaporized and entire pieces of earth excavated as tempestuous lightning, wind and fire clashed and exploded around the world. The battling beings moved across the dimension in seconds, leaving only destruction in their wake.

It seemed Armageddon itself had arrived, and if it were not for Yggdrasil' healing energy, the dimension might have already been destroyed by the attacks. The monsters Kashi had captured hid within Yggdrasil's tree trunk, alongside the Hydra egg and Kira's cocoon, neither of which could afford to be exposed to the violent energies.

Assured that no harm would come to Kira, Kashi and his dragon intensified their all-out assault against the demon. The centaur's body grew several feet to match the enormous dragon as it clashed in a harsh melee. The beasts savagely punched, clawed and bit at each other, lacing each of their attacks with the elements to produce even more damage.

There was no strategy to their attacks. Just pure savagery and instinct. When they met in a melee, they would drag each other to the ground. They would then smash each other on the earth or throw themselves around. Several mountain peaks were flattened in the process, and the landscape was forever transformed.

Within all of the chaos, the dragon suddenly bit down on the centaur's shoulders. It then spun around and flung the demon into the air. The dragon reared its head back, and then spat out a pillar of flames coated with lightning.

The centaur roared as it gathered mana to create a shield in front of it.

BOOM!

A massive explosion followed as the beam crashed into the shield. The shield did not last long. It shattered mere moments after the initial impact. However, it had managed to do its job neutralizing the dragon's attack. The demon raised its hands, and thousands of lightning spears shot down toward the dragon, who retaliates with thousands of lightning-fireballs.
