He still gripped his sword tightly, his arm trembling. He knew he didn’t kill that thing... and he was right.
Mal’Zaroth came out of the debris, his massive frame steaming, voice as loud as thunder rolling across a battlefield.
"That was a nice attack. If I wasn’t ready I would have been weakened by it. Be proud, human. No one have pushed me like this in years."
Lynx saw the demon monster. One of his curved horns was broken clean off. His icy cold left eye was removed, socket burned and empty. His already deformed face looked more hideous now, twisted in rage and something that might have been respect.
But that was it. He didn’t take much damage physically. Not enough to kill him or to stop him.
Lynx used his Primordial Vision to scan the monster.
[Name: Abyssal Inferno Titan, Mal’Zaroth.

"Fuck," Lynx muttered.
"I will forever remember your name, Human. You have earned my respect. Be proud,"
Mal’Zaroth growled.
Its chest was beginning to split apart, a dark line appearing down the center, the swirling fire and ice coming together.
All the hair in Lynx’s body stood still. Fear creapt up in his veins. He could tell whatever is coming out next from the monster was going to end him. End his system. End his Primordial Healing. End every fuckung thing.
His system was screaming warning in his head. Give all red messages.
He ducked at the back of the sealed cage, then he created a massive earth barrier, slamming his palms into the ground. Stone rose up in thick slabs, forming a fortress wall between him and the demon.
He summoned fire around the earth barrier, burning with intense heat that made the air shimmer. He held his sword tightly, using it as an inner shield. Lightning cracked from the sword, dancing along the blade like angry serpents.
"BLACK HOLE OF ABOMINATION. CONSUME."
As soon as the words left Mal’Zaroth’s mouth, the hole in his chest split open wide. Massive Energy poured out of it. Not normal energy.
This was something disruptive, destructive and wrong. It came out of his chest like an eruptive volcano blast, destroying everything in the place they were in.
Everywhere turned hot.
The heat from it alone was enough to kill a few beasts far away, their bodies turning to ash before the wave even reached them.
It was targeting everywhere. Mostly Lynx.
The force of the energy burned down the cage. The ancient seal that had held for centuries shattered like glass, runes flaring once before turning to dust.
It broke Lynx’s fire barrier as if it were paper, absorbing the flames in an instant. Then it hit his earth barrier. The stone melted, cracked, and disintegrated, layer after layer peeling away under the impossible force.
Lynx used his sword to protect himself. The sword combined all its energy to shield him, the blade started glowing so bright it hurt to look at.
BOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!
A deafening sound happened in the forbidden zone, the sound was so loud that even the Human Empires heard it. In cities days away. The ground trembled.
Lynx’s body was burnt. His skin peeled. Muscles cooked. Only his skeleton remained now, blackened and smoking, standing defiant in the ruin.
His Primordial Healing kicked in but this time it was slow. Bone by bone, muscle by muscle, he was being rebuilt from the beginning.
Through the smoke and the ruin, Lynx saw the cage broken and a feminine figure lying down on the ground. She wasn’t moving. She was barely breathing.
He rushed to the figure. His bones scraped against the debris. He picked her and placed her on his skinny-humanish shoulder.
He bolted out of the place, with full speed.
The demon was shocked. The dust is still there, but he could see clearly. The human survived? The human survived one of his strongest attack. He was stunned and impressed.
Lynx has etch a deep memory on the demon.
He raised his head and saw Lynx. Running at full speed with that woman on his shoulder, he saw the cage destroyed. The demon shook his head and left the place, not chasing after him.
"That Human Is Not Human" He muttered.
