Chapter 115: White flames
A while ago, after Glen, Ralph, Clint, and Karin went to deal with the other monsters. Ivan was left alone to face the leader.
The massive calamity glared at Ivan with its three faves and the red glows in the eyes of the little girl above the bonfire was fixed on him as her smile became more twisted, the light from the bonfire reflecting on the crude injury under her head; Ivan was able to tell at a glance that her head had been ripped off crudely.
His face was calm, but he felt a great sense of rage in his chest that caused a burning sensation; his eyes gazed at the monster with killing intent, causing the temperature of the surroundings to drop.
A card instantly appeared in his hand, and he disappeared.
The monster was slightly stunned to see Ivan suddenly vanish. It was about to start looking for him when Ivan appeared in front of it with a pitch-black sword.
"Let me lay you to rest." Ivan's voice was gentle as if he was whispering to a little girl, trying to put her to sleep.
The sight of the girl's head hanging on the stick above the bonfire angered him so much for a reason that he didn't know or wasn't sure of, it was as if he had experienced such pain before.
Gripping the sword with his right hand, a wave of red energy burst out as Ivan madly slashed out.
"Travelers, is the food nice?"
The voice of the little girl sounded from within the monster in a hurry as the twisted smile on the little girl's face vanished and the mouth that revealed a pitch-black hole replaced it.
All the mouths of the faces on the monster opened as well, each of them suddenly launching rings of blazing flames toward Ivan who was still in the air.

The three faces that made up the face of the monster, and the face of the little girl that was hanging on a stick spat out the rings of fire in unison.
The heat from these rings of flames was so intense that it caused the Nexus energy surrounding Ivan's sword to waver, but Ivan didn't back down; he wasn't going to back down.
Gripping his sword, he slashed at the incoming rings of fire and sent a wave of dark and red energy at them.
BOOM!!
The dark and red energy wave from Ivan collided with the rings of flames from the monster, causing a miniature explosion in the air, and a cloud of smoke was instantly formed.
But before the monster could even understand what had happened, Ivan sure burst out behind the cloud of smoke like an arrow and shot past the monster's head, a streak of sword light following him.
Ivan landed behind the monster in light steps, he was holding something in his hands along with his sword.
It was the head of the little girl!
Ivan had cut the stick that the head was attached to and had taken it away when he shot past the monster just now!
Above the head of the monster, the bonfire quickly stopped burning and died out after the head of the girl was removed.
The monster shrieked loudly in fury and stomped on the ground but Ivan ignored all of it.
Still holding the head of the girl, he ran his fingers across her face and closed her two eyes that had long stopped glowing red light.
"You can rest now," Ivan mumbled as another card appeared in his hand before bursting out with white flames that consumed the head of the little girl, turning it into sparkling ashes that disappeared into the air.
Just after Ivan made the white flame that had consumed the head of the little girl disappear, he stepped to the side before slashing a hundred times with his black sword.
At the same time that he moved, a large arm that was made of twisted flesh, bones, and blisters brushed past him; the arm just happened to enter the wave of Ivan's slashes, and it naturally suffered the consequence.
Shin! Shin! Shin!
Like a tornado of blades, the arm instantly exploded into hundreds of pieces after Ivan withdrew his sword.
Pieces of rotten flesh and chopped bones scattered in the air as blood rained down like a broken dam.
The monster let out a thunderous shriek that shook the ground, countless blood tendrils suddenly shot out from the wound in its shoulder and stabbed at the countless tiny pieces of flesh and bones, pulling everything back into their original place.
"So that's how it is? I see" Ivan muttered under his breath before taking out another card that changed into a long white spear with its top blazing with white fire.
Taking a step forward, Ivan vanished again.
"Uu?" The monster made a low groaning sound, it got cautious when Ivan vanished again.
Zam!
A flash of white light suddenly shot past the monster's body and a long gash appeared on its body, blood gushing out of the split and the opening of the wound burning with white flames. Blood tendrils appeared again and tried to open the open split only for the white flames to burn them to ashes.
The monster shrieked from pain and fury, but this was only the start.
Zam! Zam! Zam!
Ivan, in the form of a white light, flashed around the body of the monster with his spear, leaving deep splits on the body of the monster every time he flashed across it.
The body of the monster was soon covered in countless gash and thousands of blood tendrils had been burnt up, preventing the monster from healing.
Unable to hold it in anymore, the monster suddenly roared instead of shrieking and its body started to swell while the blisters on its body boiled with high intensity as if they could explode at any moment; it was about to transform!
Of course, Ivan didn't know that this was what these creatures did when they were about to transform and thought that it was going to be a large-scale attack, but it didn't really matter because…
Whatever the monster was about to do, Ivan had no plans to just stand there and watch.
Gripping his spear, Ivan bent his knees and made a big jump.
BOOM!!
The ground exploded as Ivan's feet left the ground, he reached the height of the monster's head in a single leap before poking out with his spear numerous times.
Sounds of the spear piercing into flesh rang out as Ivan made several holes in the next of the monster before dropping to the ground.
Puff!!
The monster froze, a fountain of blood pumped out through the numerous holes created by Ivan's spear; the eyes on its three faces rolled and stared at Ivan, who was still falling after executing the spear attack before its head suddenly tilted to the side.
With a bang, the head of the monster rolled down its shoulder. The body of the monster remained standing for a few more seconds before falling forward as well, the empty space in its neck landing right in front of Ivan.
Ivan slowly bent down and picked up the little shining crystal that had rolled out from the neck of the monster.
"Now you can rest!" Ivan said in a low tone while gazing down at the corpse of the monster.
