Chapter 101: Chapter 101:Inside the Tree [8]
Zigging and Zagging through the various diving paths in the cave, leaving behind a trail of pure purple lightning, Liana moved faster than the speed of light as she navigated toward the sound of the demon's footsteps.
Twisting and turning to take the correct path, the streak of lightning made the shape of the letter "Z" behind her before she finally spotted some demons approaching.
As the streak of lightning stopped with Liana, she took her revolvers out of her pockets and spotted three demons right in front of her; however, they also saw her.
With gigantic battle axes, the three demons charged at Liana from different directions. Each attack was coordinated perfectly as they swung their axes at the same angle to prevent counterattacks or dodging.
Flicking her revolvers up to the roof, Liana took one step forward, her foot completely covered in lightning and leaking onto the floor below as lightning sparks lit up the dark cave.
Lunging downwards, Liana disappeared from the demon's sight, leaving sparks of lightning on the ground with every step she took.
As Liana moved so fast that she was invisible to the demon's terrible eyes, she purposely left behind sparks of lighting, leaving a trail for the demons to follow.
Noticing the sparks of lightning, the demons used them to locate Liana; however, that was exactly what Liana wanted.
There was a delay.
Liana moved so fast that by the time the lighting sparks appeared on the floor, she was already more than 10 feet away from that location.
Twisting and turning, running up the roof, running on the walls, and sliding on the ground, Liana treated the cave as a playground.
Running up the cave walls and running on the roof with her entire body facing the floor, Liana watched with a smile as the demons swung their axes at every spark.
They were slowly losing their edge and becoming more frustrated.
Increasing her speed to the maximum, lightning sparks started reacting with each other as small bits of fire appeared around the cave.
Finally finding a gap in the demons' formations, she stopped mid-sprint, causing gravity to actaully take effect, and propel her head-first downwards at the cave floor.
Doing a flip mid-air, Liana landed in the middle of the demon's formation, with one demon to her right and two to her left.
With her revolvers pointed in different directions, each at a single demon, Liana stopped her mad sprint for a split second.
*BANG*
*BANG*
If you had looked down from the roof at the floor below at this very moment, it wouldn't have looked like a battle in the slightest—it would have looked like an art piece.
The rough cave floors, the protruding rocks from the wall, and the three confused demons were just the backdrop—the canvas of the painting.
And the art? The paint?
It was the lightning.
The entire cave was glowing a dark purple as the small sparks of lightning on the ground left behind by Liana had grouped, forming various intricate shapes that transformed the bland cave into a world-class art exhibit.
It was not a battle or a fight... it was a masterpiece, an abstract painting.
Even though Liana seemed to sprint around at light speed smoothly without care, her tracks of lightning sparks seemed to come together and form interesting yet abstract images that would enthrall any viewer and amaze any art critic.
Her battle style wasn't just powerful... it was beautiful, amazing, intricate, and elegant...
The world around her wasn't a battlefield... it was a blank canvas, waiting to be graced with Liana's refined art style.
As the two bullets barrelled out of the revolvers, the growing lightning sparks on the ground finally stopped.
As the bullet flew mid-air at the frozen and oblivious demons, the lightning sparks on the ground accumulated and gathered together, forming one of those lightning bolt symbols you would see in a cartoon.
The lightning bolt symbol was so large that it covered the entire cave floor, making it look like a dance floor as everyone's feet were glowing purple.
And the center of this symbol?
It was right under Liana and the three demons.
Splitting into two halves, the thousands of lightning particles finally started reacting and pushing against each other, causing gigantic purple flames to rise from the ground.
Two walls of purple fire stretched up from the ground in an instant, the tip of the dark purple flames touching the bullets shot by Liana.
The metal bullets did not combust under the insanely high temperatures of the fires; instead, they changed color from pure white metal to dark purple.
There was even an artistic touch on the bullets, as the tips of the purple flames were formed so perfectly that they adorned a small lightning bolt symbol on the right side of each bullet.
As the first bullet penetrated the first demon's body, creating a hole directly through it, the flames and remaining lightning sparks dispersed, moving from the cave's center to its edges.
The remaining lightning sparks collided at the edge of the cave, forming a ring of purple fire around Liana and the two demons who remained alive.
It was too late when the demons finally realized that the particles had disappeared and Liana had stopped. The second bullet pierced right through the first demon before curving mid-air and going right through the vital spot of the last demon alive.
A collateral shot.
Just like that... two A-rank demons and all the djinns under them had died.
As the two demons dropped to the ground, causing the cave to shake under the weight of their body, the purple flamed surged, rising all the way to the roof of the cave.
Looking at the scene around her, Liana sighed before snapping her figures, instantly extinguishing the walls of purple flames around her.
"that's 3 out of 23...well onto the next."
The next second, Liana was gone, leaving behind a final spark of lightning.
Once again, the figure of a woman with a streak of lightning following her lit up the dark and dull cave.
