Several spells had abilities that had certain drawbacks that didn\'t affect any stats directly but would become obvious once they were activated.

The {Cherufe Spawn} completely capitalized on this and proceeded to give him the thrashing of a lifetime. Not only couldn\'t he evade, he also couldn\'t engage in melee combat. This was because his stats and his combat skills were all locked. If he even attempted it, he would be dead in a single blow.

Right now, even his weapons wertooto heavy to hold onto...

A brilliant idea suddenly came to mind, \'While my skills might be locked, I can somehow still use my spells. I can\'t use them with the system\'s assistance, but thanks to my understanding of runes and magic circles, I can recreate these magic circles at any point in time. Hence...\'

Cain immediately activated the only magical attack spell in his arsenal that dealt direct physical damage...

"7 Golden Stars!"

The chime of metal striking against metal immediately filled the air as seven golden swords appeared out of the air. Thanks to how deep underground they were, the atmosphere was rich in fire, earth, and metal mana.

Meaning, that while he couldn\'t activate lightning and water attribute spells down here, he was able to activate his metal attribute spells with ease.

\'Why didn\'t I think of this sooner?\' Cain thought to himself as he dashed forward, taking the initiative. The golden blades followed him like the scythe of a grim reaper seeking to bring death.

"Metal Creation." Golden light shimmered in the air and wrapped around his body.

Taking a deep breath, Cain exhaled the contents of his lungs all at once as he stirred the mana within his beating heart.

BANG!

The lights around him solidified into golden chains that wrapped all over his body...

"Let\'s dance!"

BOOM!

The blade of gold had been left to fly on their own. Spreading around the volcano\'s floor, they traced individual paths to the {Cherufe Spawn}. However, the creature simply stared at them all with a plain, almost bored expression.

Taking a step forward, she twisted her hips, and like a bullwhip, snapped her other leg forward.

"Raging Flames." Her voice escaped from her mouth, calling out the name of the skill she was about to execute. A magic circle appeared behind her and immediately increased the temperature of their surroundings by a few hundred degrees, making the space around them distort a bit.

The oath her leg traced in the air was replaced by a wave of red-hot flames that blazed a path straight for Cain.

Taking a deep breath, Cain flung his hand, releasing a Cain from his body. With a tug, he sent himself flying toward the wall, completely avoiding the attack.

Not wanting to give them too much advantage, Cain controlled the blades of metal to circle her like piranhas going for the kill. Obeying his will, they stabbed at her from all directions.

However, the {Cherufe Spawn} didn\'t just stand, waiting to be attacked. Taking a step back, she dodged the first blade but was immediately faced with the second. Tilting to the side a bit, she managed to maneuver past the second blade. The third blade was aimed at her legs, so she simply jumped up.

"Gotcha!" Cain exclaimed as he clenched his fingers.

The remaining four blades pierced at her from angles that were difficult to avoid whilst midair. Suddenly, Cain felt a terrible chill come over him as he stared into the calm undisturbed eyes of the creature before him.

Once again, she opened her mouth and spoke,

"Hell Shift." Cain felt a sweeping sensation overwhelm his body. Suddenly, his viewing perspective changed. Instead of him being on the ground, and the girl being midair, their positions had changed. Now, he realized he couldn\'t feel the solid ground beneath his feet, and he could see the {Cherufe Spawn} glaring up at him.

\'This means...\'

BANG!

Cain stared in horror as his blades stabbed into his {Infernal Wings}.

The metal attribute was incredibly special because it possessed the peerless ability to cut through other forms of elemental mana, as well as shield against them. And it did this far better than any of the other elements.

That was why the {Cherufe Spawn} avoided clashing with the {7 Golden Stars} head-on.

Anger instantly filled Cain\'s mind as he fell back to the ground. However, regardless of his state of mind, she wasn\'t going to give him even a single moment to gather himself. Instead, as soon as he landed on the ground, he was greeted with a barrage of flaming fists raining down on him.

\'Crap!\' Flicking his wrists, Cain latched the chains on his body to a different portion of the volcano wall. Dragging as hard as he could, his body was abruptly lifted off the ground and away from the creature that relentlessly attacked him.

Breathing heavily, Cain inspected the damage that had been wrought on him. Due to how much damage it had taken, the {Vampiric Star} was left with only 50% of its originally stored power.

Gritting his teeth, Cain took a step forward...

"Since you want a fight, then it is a fight you shall have!"

Recalling the {7 Golden Stars} back, he decided it was time to take matters into his own hands...

The chains around him took on an even brighter luster as they tightened around his body and became even brighter.

The floating swords also began shining brighter. Stretching his hands forward, two of the swords attached themselves to the chains that were wrapped around his arms.

\'My stats might be bad, but I can use my magic to my advantage.\'

Because he knew how magic worked, Cain realized he had found a loophole in the system. By wrapping his body in the golden chains, he was able to move faster by manipulating the chains on his body with {Metal Manipulation}.

This way, he was able to make up for his lost stats a little bit.

BANG!

Smashing his foot against the hard rocky surface, he dashed forward faster than a bullet.

He had completely thrown caution out the backdoor. Right now, he was ted to draw blood by all means possible.

The chained blades spun around at high speed as he smashed them forward. The rest also followed behind, attacking the {Cherufe Spawn} from all sides.

A small smile appeared on her face as she dashed forward to meet Cain\'s enthusiasm. Torrents of Fla.es wrapped around her fists as she slammed them toward Cain.

Taking a small step to the side, Cain watched the sizzling most close right by him. Tucking his elbows in, he took another small step forward and slashed the blade in his right hand forward in a reverse grip.

The {Cherufe Spawn} immediately responded by using her right arm to block the strike.

CLANG!

Cain felt the tremors pass through his bones. Blood leaked from his orifices as he tried to disperse the aftershock from the collision.

\'My magic power still isn\'t enough to offset the gap between us!\' Cain gritted his teeth as he stared into the eyes of the being standing before him. Her eyes were filled with intelligence, but the only thing he could see when he looked into them, was mockery...

Mockery of his strength and capabilities. And that made his blood boil like never before...

"Push!"

Mana gushed out of him in tidal waves as he strengthened the blades in his hands. The surrounding blades began to pick up speed as they spun around both of them rapidly.

Sensing this, the look in the eyes of the {Cherufe Spawn} became dangerous. Taking a step forward, she slammed an elbow into Cain\'s {Infernal Wings}, knocking him backward.

Just as he was about to fly away, Cain flung his hands forward, causing three of the blades to descend with maximum speed.

"Burning Ocean." Before they could even get to her, a sea of boiling flames appeared around her, completely melting the blades before turning their scrap to ash.

\'Now!\'

Cain\'s eyes widened as he made his move the moment she attacked. The eyes of the {Cherufe Spawn} suddenly turned wide as she tried jumping to the side.

"Too late!" Cain yelled out.

BANG!

A glowing golden blade cut through the air and stabbed through the layers of rock over the creature\'s flesh. However, because of her timely instincts, she was able to dodge out of the way before any real damage was done, getting away with only a surface wound.

The {Cherufe Spawn} immediately moved a few steps back to make some distance between her and Cain.

Taking a deep breath, Cain took this as an opportunity to inspect his status. His breathing was getting labored due to the high-intensity movements. His stamina had also reverted to that of a regular human, so it was hard for him to keep it up for so long.

Views throbbed all over his body as he struggled to stay on his feet...

\'The energy in the Vapiric Star is almost gone, I\'ve lost three swords, and I\'ve managed to piss her off without doing much. What a day...\' Cain thought to himself as he took on a defensive stance, waiting for her to initiate the next attack.

Suddenly, the mouth of the creature opened once again,

"Human... what is your name?"

Cain stared, completely dumbfounded for a few seconds at the odd question. He wasn\'t surprised by the fact that the creature wanted to converse with him, however...

Taking a few moments to load up an answer, Cain finally answered.

"Cain... My name is Cain."
