When Marie heard the screams of the children echoing through the house, she immediately ran out of her office.
"Shut up and get back to the table, you bratty stinkers!" Her shout was so shrill that it shook the paintings on the walls and the chandelier in the foyer, scaring the children even more.
Since Luke hadn't noticed before that there were children in the house, he became even more determined upon hearing their cries.
The half-wolf immediately came out of the room he was thrown into, looking like a moving shadow, because he was using the walls of that hallway to create a zigzag effect and increase his speed even more.
Not even he knew he could reach that rate of acceleration before he did that.
Marie was totally surprised by these fast, precise, and skillful movements. Startled, she teleported back a few meters.
Since Luke was already fast, this woman's reaction was useless because he had already caught up with her in a few seconds.
Another time she teleported backward before Luke could even get a chance to hit her; however, this was a tight corridor, and when Luke saw her teleporting, he already knew where she might appear. In reaction to the teleportation, Luke hurled his obsidian sword forward, and when Marie appeared exactly where he expected, his sword pierced her belly.
"Urghh!" Marie felt the stab and looked down. "Fuck, you're so fucking annoying!" She screamed, but her scream wasn't really something normal and instead was a skill.
The waves of sound created by this demon's cursing hit Luke and threw him backward, stopping his advance and making his ear bleed.
Marie took advantage of the moment that Luke was stunned to pull the sword from her belly, throw it to the ground, and speak:
"Who are you? And what do you want with us, with my family?" She was still in pain and was obviously trying to buy time for her wounds to heal.
Luke was too experienced to be caught up in such a litany, so he took advantage of the fact that he had recovered from the scream and ignored his opponent's questions, dropping his overcoat to prevent it from hindering his movements during this fight.
When she saw the three knives on the side of the half-beast's belt, Marie felt threatened again and started screaming without pause.
"AAAAAH!" Each sound wave of her scream was like a punch in the mouth of his stomach, which hurt and could leave anyone breathless.
At that moment, Luke had a sudden idea and used the <Vind> sign to try something.
The wind current was immediately dissipated by the sound for the first few moments. Still, after Luke kept the skill active and continuous, the wind gradually gained intensity and formed a type of small shield for Luke to protect himself from Marie's attack.
When the demon noticed that she wasn't being so effective because of this half-wolf's trickery, she stopped screaming constantly not to force her newly regenerated throat.
"Love, I'm in trouble here! Bring my grimoire!" She exclaimed, taking advantage of the fact that the sound insulation in the Mansion was a piece of shit.
" Now I can't do it! I'm staggering a parasite!" His answer echoed, and then the sound of breaking walls came from the second floor.
Luke didn't stand around doing anything while letting the demon couple talk. He focused on the sensation of one of his abilities and then uttered:
"<Sirkelig>..."
A purple circle appeared below his feet, doubled in size in the next second, and in its next expansion, covered the area of the entire house. This was an ability Luke had bought a long time ago still in Vasconcelos, which granted him 10% extra critical damage and 50% reduction of the strength of supernatural creatures in the circle, like demons.
Confused about the circle that disappeared and later vanished, Marie clicked her tongue and spoke:
"If my husband is busy, I won't be limited to my incantations, then."
After that, Marie summoned a Kusarigama of Panspermia. This weapon basically consisted of two small black scythes interconnected through a thin, light-looking chain. That was the first time Luke had seen this type of weapon in his entire life.
Even from two meters, Marie tried to hit Luke with the Kusarigama. Since the chains were long, the attack managed to reach Luke, but he deactivated <Sirkelig> for a second and used the <Eye of Horus> to slow everything down and see where the scythe was aiming.
In that single instant for Marie, for the half-wolf enough time had passed to notice the beautiful wave movements the weapon's chain was making and the sharp blade of the small scythe.
When Luke deactivated the Legendary Skill, he dodged the scythe, and before the weapon came back with a pull from the demon woman, Luke wrapped his arm around the chain and pulled the Kusarigama. He had never fought a weapon of this type before and didn't want to give any chance to bad luck. Luke also took a moment to use <Sirkelig> again to keep the demons much weaker than they really were.
However, Marie didn't give in so easily to a simple tug and continued to hold the other edge of the chain. The series of links tensed with the strength of the half-wolf and the demon.
Since this was a Panspermia Weapon of unknown level, Luke knew that the chain wouldn't break so easily, and since he had his arm wrapped around it now if he tried to remove it, Marie would probably lacerate his arm with just a tug of the weapon.
Therefore, Luke began to wrap even more of the chain around his arm, as he forced the demon closer to him and moved closer to her. He was confident that he would win in a hand-to-hand fight if he used Sea Ornament.
Marie again used her throat to scream, and since Luke already had <Sirkelig> active, he didn't think it was a good idea to switch to <Vind> again. The half-wolf feared that he would get tired faster by switching Genes Abilities every minute than keeping them.
Luckily, or by the irony of fate, Marie's screams caught the attention of Alexis Dmitry, as well as obscuring the rumblings the half-dragon battle was making on the lower floor. With one tail of the <Finder's Tails> skill, Alexis ripped out a wooden column in the middle of a living room below the hallway Luke was in and used the other tails to defend a Masink attack.
This column was supporting a good portion of the second floor, so when it was broken, the hallway where Luke and Marie were standing collapsed instantly. As Luke fell hard to the second floor, he used the huge cloud over the room to unwind his arm from the chain and immediately summon the Behemoth Axe.
