BOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Once again, the two massive entities charged and shattered the earth as a result of them kicking the ground beneath their feet. The Seraph Empyrean dodged a swing from the Primeval Lich and retaliated by swinging her sword, but the Primeval Lich retreated in time. However, it cost its scythe to be torn apart by the divine blade.
Enraged, the ultimate undead shoulder bashed the Angel into a building and punched her twice in the chest before grabbing a nearby structure and swinging it at the Angel, who blocked the attack with her sword and quickly kicked the Primeval Lich away before slashing his chest and causing a dark substance to leak from the wound.
The Primeval Lich let out a terrifying, otherworldly shriek as it quickly dodged a vertical swing from the Seraph's sword. He morphed his right arm into a curved blade and slashed the Angel's abdomen, leaving a deep mark.
The Seraph Empyrean parried a horizontal swing from the Primeval Lich's blade, quickly positioning herself behind him and slashed his back with her sword. However, the monster grabbed her legs, spun her around, smashing her into several buildings around him and tossed her into the air. He then morphed his left arm into a scythe and leaped toward his nemesis and swung his weapon down on the Angel, who used her wings to block the attack, but was launched back into the ground, leaving a dust cloud upon impact.
"It's time to end this!"
By the words of his master, the Primeval Lich coated its fists in black flames and flew towards the Angel at mach speed.
"YOUR ROAD ENDS HERE!"
As the Angel stood up from her feet, her wings extended massively with golden flames and she flew towards the Primeval Lich at mach speed, leaving a sonic boom behind that shattered the earth and nearby buildings.
"RAAAAAAHHHH!!"
"RAAAAΑΑΑΑΑΗΗΗΗΗΗ!!"
As the two titans were close enough, Death, Famine, and Rasera leaped off their respective titans and towards each other in slow motion.
And with their weapons colliding at full power along with the weapons the Primeval Lich and the Seraph Empyrean, the collision created a massively bright explosion that engulfed the entire city and the surrounding environment, destroying and sending powerful shockwaves across the landscape.
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The shockwaves were so powerful that it even reached General Francisco and the resurrected soldiers of the 19th Black Armored Division as they grabbed onto anything that was anchored tightly to the ground, while many were pushed back a few feet away by the shockwave. Small objects were sent flying, glass and windows on their vehicles shattered, and one of the armored vehicles was flipped over.
But the only thing unfazed by the storm was a single plastic chair.
"HANG! ON!
"THIS IS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR!"
"SAME HERE!"
To their relief, the shockwave died down. Another fortunate thing is that there are no deaths by the shockwave with only a number of injuries.
Meanwhile, the satellite in space was able to capture everything that unfolded and the leaders of the nation had witnessed all of it.
On the screen they were watching, they were able to see the entire city and its surroundings was completely covered in smoke and ash, with yellow and black flames in some areas. Most structures and buildings were either gone, damaged beyond repair, or somewhat standing to a degree.
"I can only wonder if there are more beings as powerful as them in this world. It's fascinating... yet concerning."
As the smoke began to clear, a few figures were left standing in the complete wasteland.
It was Rasera, Death, and Famine.
Above them stood the Seraph Empyrean, who had won the battle against the Primeval Lich.
Seeing this, Rasera smiled confidently at the two Archdemons, who were the only left.
"What will you do now?"
The two demons could only exchange glances. Realizing their predicament, they knew there was nothing they could do.
"We'll-"
VWUUUSH!
In the blink of an eye, the trio of demons returned, all of them looking good as new.
Conquest and War can be seen respectively keeping their heads bowed as the Demon Lord stood before them.
He still had a calm smile on his face, with both hands placed behind him and a gentle aura surrounding his stifling presence.
"Are you both winning yet...?" He began to ask, only to pause the moment he lay his eyes on the Angel in the sky.
Seeing their master's arrival, Death immediately stood up. "Lord Andromalius! We are glad to see yo-"
Andromalius silenced him with a raised finger. "None of you informed me of this entertaining play here. How selfish of you, Azaroth."
"M-My apologies, my lord," Azaroth responded, bowing his head.
Turning his attention from his servant, the Demon Lord set his gaze on Rasera and the Angel in the sky.
"Why don't we restart this battle? I was disappointed it ended so soon. Would you mind if I let War and Conquest join in?" His smile remained gentle as he addressed Rasera.
Rasera, meanwhile, could only scowl at him inwardly. Now she has to fight two more Archdemons?
While her summoning Angel could potentially challenge the Demon Lord himself, that doesn't change the fact that she has to face four Archdemons at once.
This was just unfair.
"Now that we're all here, why don't we begin right about now?"
BOOOOOOOM!!!
Before anyone could even react, a massive, dreadful aura was released from the Demon Lord, it was so overwhelming that it overwhelmed both of his servants and even Rasera.
But the only one who is unfazed by such overwhelming power was none other than the Seraph Empyrean.
————————————————————
Not only the Demon Lord's aura ripple through Mindanao, but it even sent shockwaves across the entirety of the Austronesia Empire, and every single of its citizens fell into great disarray.
Even in the halls of power in Manila, the assembled leaders stared in disbelief at the intermittently flickering screen at this moment as each and every member of the key individuals of the nation couldn't believe what they were seeing. On one side stood a colossal Angel of the size of the Statue of Liberty wrapped in an radiant aura of light, and on the opposing end stood the Demon Lord enveloped in a swirling blizzard of death.
This apocalyptic scene shook everyone.
"What... What the hell is this power?" in a voice filled with disbelief, a woman could not help but scream and break the stunned silence.
"A monster, a true monster," stated a middle-aged man in a low and despondent voice, his face turning grim and darker.
Just at this moment, another series of alerts started echoing in the office.
[Warning, warning, Magicule Levels have risen to 25,000,000.]
Amidst consecutive warnings, every member of the assembly turned pale, eyes fixed on the rapidly escalating magical energy levels displayed on the screen, which was nearing its critical threshold, and couldn't help but drenched in sweat.
25 million Magicule Level, they were simply having a hard time believing it.
"There really is a monster in this world with this much Magical Energy?"
"Do we even stand a chance??"
Ignoring the panicking words of his colleagues, Emperor Maximo could only watch the live satellite feed, displaying the battle with a sense of suffocation.
"It is a miracle that the Demon Lord didn't take us seriously at first. If this monster decided to go all out, we wouldn't even stand a chance."
Just as despair seemed to settle in...
[I don't quite like being watched.]
Crack!
With a crisp sound, a crystalline jade-colored energy slash froze in the frame.
And with a snap, the screens went completely blank, leaving each staff member sweating profusely in their seats.
"Did he destroy another satellite!?" a staff member muttered in a stuttering voice.
"This Demon Lord. He is at a different level."
As if confirming, many people screamed in fear, emphasizing the Demon Lord's incomprehensible power, capable of tearing through space and shooting satellites.
Only it possessed such power that its aura alone could affect an entire empire and bring fear to its masses.
Vrrr—!
Emperor Maximo's phone vibrated in his pocket. Retrieving it, he answered with a mixture of relief and resolve.
"Hello?"
[Greetings, your Majesty. This is the director from the Science Department, and I would like to announce that we managed to finish the project as you had requested.]
Hearing this, Maximo smiled as a glimmer of hope returned to his face.
"Excellent. Deploy Project Exterminata to the military immediately. We don't know if it will work, but this might be the only thing that humanity has a single fighting chance against these monsters. Understood?"
[Affirmative, your Majesty.]
——————————————————
Rumble—!
The ground shook violently, drawing the attention of countless demons who turned to face and stared at the distant source of the disturbance, many of them soon spotted two figures standing in the sky face to face with each other and were locked in an intense confrontation.
One figure bore the celestial elegance of an Angel of otherworldly appearance, while the other was the demon lord that brought terror to a whole empire.
BOOOM!
A strong gale suddenly brushed past the two.
This came as a result of the Angel and the demon releasing their aura in the heavens.
The already oppressive atmosphere became even more oppressive and heavier, painting the sky in swirling shades of red and white.
Soon, the two majestic auras clashed together.
BOOOM!
When the two immense energies collided, ferocious shockwaves rippled through the air.
The entire battlefield below trembled under the residual mana spreading from the epicenter.
BANG!
This exchange had been going on for about a few minutes now, and it had started to become progressively stronger. Both sides were still not going all out as they were gauging each other and buying time for those fighting below. Whenever the situation shifted for one side, the other would quickly interfere to return the balance.
"I have long dreamed of facing one of Heaven's elite warriors, or perhaps, a dog of my grandsire," declared Demon Lord Andromalius, his words echoing ominously across the silent world.
Tightening her grip with her blade, the Seraph Empyrean opened her mouth and spoke out, causing the entire world to tremble before her divine presence.
"The last time I faced your kind, they fell like sheep before the slaughter. Furthermore, I never expect my next opponent will be the disappointed son of the Demon King."
Upon hearing this, the entire world became eerie silent.
"It seems you desire a gruesome end, Heaven's dog," Andromalius retorted with a gaze filled with rage and bitter hatred. "For one esteemed as a warrior, your loyalty to your little Sky Daddy baffles me. A false god who never saves his own creations from our predations."
In his hand, a colossal broadsword infused with strong Demonic Energy manifested in his grasp, wielding it with lethal intent as he vanished from his place and reappeared before the Angel and swung his weapon at unprecedented speed.
For the first time in his long dark crusade, the Demon Lord decided to take this very seriously.
The large crimson sword in his hand whirled around, releasing waves of pressuring wind sounds as Demonic Energy surrounds the blade like a whirlpool of death.
WIIIIIING!
Seeing the Demon Lord's swift and ferocious attack, the Angel's lip curved upwards. Finally, she let out a cold laugh, and a ferocious aura suddenly sprang out from her body and effortlessly intercepted the blade with her own.
The impact unleashed a powerful shockwave that launched many demons and anyone. Not even Rasera and the Archdemons were immune to the blast as they were launched back.
Immediately after the attack, the Demon Lord sensed the Angel was flying towards him.
Instinctively, he tries to attack again, but suddenly, the Seraph immediately holds his blade and she is somehow unfazed by the huge amount of Demonic Energy in the blade as she continues to attack him.
Blocking the attack with his wings, the Demon Lord sends out his aura into a shockwave, pushing the Angel from him.
Moments earlier, he felt rage not too long ago, now the feeling of his muscles ache and his mind focused to win, he couldn't help but smile at this.
"Finally. A worthy opponent!!"
