In the sky, the phoenix and the lich were fighting violently. A splendid air show with breathtaking maneuvers unfolded before my amazed eyes. The phoenix sometimes unleashed a sea of red flames, but the lich easily protected herself by summoning a green wind that sent the flames around her and her mount without feeling the slightest danger. After a while, the lich took out a grimoire and sang in a language unknown to me. Instantly a moonless night fell upon us.
[The spell [dark night] granting +25% of all stats to demons has been triggered].
"Bullsh*t" I said, hastily dodging a slash that had suddenly accelerated. A horrible smile twisted the already hideous face of the chimera in front of me. Her weak point revealed by Athena's eye was in the same place as her companion last time, but it was much harder to reach. The chimera had understood my intention and moved with each of my movements so that it was always in front of me. The goblin companion next to me dropped dead after his head separated from his body.
The chimera that made him was now free. Inevitably, she came to complicate my task instead of going elsewhere. So I was now faced with two chimeras. Their hard skin forced me to aim for their weak point which they tried to hide. While I was thinking about how to get out of this complicated situation, a shrill cry from the sky sounded, the phoenix was injured, and a horrible dark spot contrasted sharply with the usual color of its plumage.
His speed has consequently dropped drastically. The situation for us was going to be complicated. I couldn't last forever either, so I pulled out my trump card.

The two chimeras are instantly immobilized. Without wasting time, I executed them.

After waiting for 1 full minute, the system voice sounds again.
[Ding...You have acquired a pale copy of Zeus' lightning]
[Description: This weak copy allows the user to kill a rank A and +(B,C...) creature instantly if hit. CAUTION: This item is for single use only.]
A plan gradually formed in my mind. Our guard A is already injured and I could turn things around. I then raise my gaze to the sky.
[You have activated Hermes Boots]
The pretty golden patterns on the boots have materialized into small translucent wings. At mind-boggling speed I was behind the lich. His spiritual pressure nearly suffocated me.
A blue flash of light appeared in my hand and crossed space at a hallucinating speed reaching the lich right in the skull.
From the lich's perspective:
The phoenix in front of me was clearly not up to it. Playing with him brings me great satisfaction. My victory over the human city was a sure success. After hurting him, I could have finished him in 1 blow but I preferred to entertain myself a little longer.
Suddenly without having felt him approach, an insignificant human appeared in front of me. Normally I could have killed this human with a flick, but what he was holding in his hand gave me a grave sense of danger.
Before I even had a chance to dodge, lightning fell on my head. It penetrated me and invaded the system, destroying all traces of my existence.
