Noir's grin slowly disappeared, replaced by something colder when he felt that his opponent's punches were becoming more terrifying with each second.
At the beginning, he had been suppressing himself to match Nox's strength. But now, in this moment, it could only be said Nox was already stronger, and the Demon Prince was starting to feel the strain.
"So you really do have some bite," Noir muttered, wiping the blood from his lip. His eyes glowed with madness. "Fine then… let's raise the tempo again!"
BOOOOM!
The aura around him erupted violently. Black lightning exploded outward, swallowing the sky, arcs tearing straight holes through the battlefield.
"Ahhh!" soldiers screamed as the ground split apart, dragging both humans and demons down into endless cracks.
The pressure instantly doubled. Everyone froze, their bodies trembling. Breathing became torture.
"Wh-what kind of power is this?!" one soldier cried, his knees buckling.
