The nearly three-meter-long claws were all composed of a grey horny layer, with honeycomb-like holes clearly visible. Brand knew that those fine cavities were filled with demonized worms that would infect wounds whenever King of Chaos, Messika attacked.
He remembered when the TRS guild took down this Hell Demon King, they specifically had Heresy Judges and Witch Doctors to purify the parasites, but he didn't have such luxurious conditions now. The Demon Lord's sword-like claws struck his head, and Brand quickly reacted by leaping backward, narrowly avoiding three blades grazing past him like plows.
The grass was torn apart, leaving three deep claw marks. Chaotic Power swept closely behind, igniting a layer of dim grey flame upon the claw marks.
Only then did Brand stabilize himself with a backflip. His blood accelerated through his veins, fully waking him, and narrowly avoiding that claw made cold sweat bead densely on his forehead.
