38 1.38 True Dragon vs Archdemon - Part 1

Miss Lilith rose herself in the air on the same level as the demon. They were standing on the air as if they were standing on the ground. The way they were floating in the air makes me think, 'is this the peak of raw mana manipulation?'

Their aura looked similar, but when they were standing in front of each other like that the difference was clearly visible.

Miss Lilith's aura was causing the change in the environment and creating darkness around her while the demon's aura was absorbing the black miasma from the surrounding.

"It's your bad luck kid. With this dense miasma around, I have home-field advantage," said the demon.

Miss Lilith didn't respond but a look of anger was clearly visible on her face. The anger wasn't because of all the things that the demon did. Instead, it looked like it came from her admiration for her father.

"Well, whatever. If you are foolish enough to not realize where you are standing then it's not my problem," said the demon with a grin.

'I had no idea demons were this cool-minded.'

The anger and displeasure he was showing early disappeared from his face. In the books that I read and the movies that I watched, demons were always aggressive. Even if they weren't, this sudden change of temper from aggressive to calm makes him even more dangerous.

Miss Lilith charged towards him first after coating her hands with the dark mana. She tried punching him in his face but he dodged it by moving towards left. That wasn't the end of her attack, she kicked him by turning around and using her right leg.

This all happened in a second, no it only took a fraction of second.

After being kicked, the demon fell inside one of the houses breaking its roof.

If it was a normal person or even a knight, the kick would have easily killed them. But in this case, the demon was unharmed.

He rose himself up in the air again. Even though he was at the receiving end of the kick, he had a smile of excitement.

"I expected nothing less from black's daughter," said the demon after raising himself up.

"Well well, it looks like you are the real deal after all," said Miss Lilith. The anger that was visible on her face a moment ago disappeared. She charged straight towards the demon saying a single name.

"BEELZEBUB!"

This time the demon whom she called Beelzebub didn't just stand there, he too charged towards her coating both of his hands with the miasma in the air.

Under normal circumstances, the miasma in the air wasn't visible. But when condensed it could be seen as black smoke.

After clashing their fists several times, both stepped back. The shockwaves generated by their clash and the aura around them was strong enough to make an ordinary person faint. Dale was barely holding himself together.

"Nina, I think you guys should return back and tell everyone else to be prepared. In case something bad happens, we need to run," said Ronald turning towards Nina. She was looking at the battle in front of us with a shocked reaction.

Nina realized what he was trying to say so she asked, "Are you going to stay here alone?"

"No, Nara will be with me. I don't think it's possible for us to do anything in the battle of this scale, but if worse happens he may be able to create a diversion for us to escape," said Ronald.

"I understand, take care, and come back safe. Everyone else let's go," Nina replied.

Everyone was hesitating but Nina convinced them by saying, "We will only be a burden in this battle if we stay here."

After everyone left, we hid behind one of the houses and watched the battle.

"It's a pain that my demonic curse doesn't work on you true dragons. But I have plenty of tricks that I can use other than that," said Beelzebub looking a little irritated after a long clash. Even though his face was showing a hint of fatigue he was maintaining his composure.

"Is this your limit, because I am just getting started," said Miss Lilith sensing his fatigue.

"Well, humans used to say 'You can't fight on an empty stomach'. Guess that's true," replied Beelzebub.

"Then let me take this to the next level first," said Miss Lilith absorbing the surrounding mana at a huge quantity.

After she said that, two black horns appeared on her head and her pinks lips changed into black. Two big dragon wings appeared on her back, and the fingers of her hand changed into three long black claws.

"Finally taking things seriously eh? Then I guess I have no choice but to level up myself," said Beelzebub starting to absorb the surrounding miasma at an enormous rate.

Soon his transparent wings became black. His head that had human-like features became more insect-like after his eyes turned red. The fingers of his hands transformed into insect claws. The facial expression that was distinctly visible in his face before could no longer be seen.

"Finally tuning into a bug you always were," said Miss Lilith. Her voice was no longer the same, it was more hoarse and male-like.

Beelzebub didn't respond to provocation. He just stayed there condensing the miasma in a single sphere in his left hand and preparing for the attack.

"Do you think you will be able to hit me with that," said Miss Lilith and attacked him with two 'dark slashes' from claws at her left and right hand simultaneously.

Beelzebub dodged it by moving down towards the ground. That was technically a bad move because it was easier to hit a target that was below you with a magic attack. Miss Lilith used this opportunity and charged straight at him with a dark ball.

Beelzebub grinned as if he was waiting for this exact thing to happen.

He dodged the attack and disappeared from there. Before we realized it, he appeared right in front of us. We were caught off guard.

Ronald tried to take his sword out of its sheath but before he could do that Beelzebub charged towards him chopping off his right arm with his claws.
