The impact of Archibald's attack sent Chigaru tumbling to the ground, causing him to lose his balance. The force of the strike also shattered the polearm of the Anubite into three separate pieces.
However, Chigaru managed to regain his footing and quickly retrieved the two pieces that still had the deadly semi-circles attached to them.
With a quick motion, Chigaru crossed the two pieces to block Archibald's next attack. The Anubite's quick reflexes and expert weapon handling allowed him to counter Archibald's powerful blows with ease.
As the two clashed in a heated battle, the other members of the Pillars of Sin looked on in awe, impressed by the sheer ferocity of their combat.
Archibald's swift hand managed to grab one of Chigaru's weapons and yank it out of the way just in time to prevent his broadsword from being deflected.
Had it been deflected, the outcome of the battle might have been different. However, Archibald's move had devastating consequences for Chigaru. The sword penetrated his furry abdomen, obliterating his internal organs.
But Archibald was not satisfied with just one strike. He then picked up the half-moon that Chigaru had given him earlier and mercilessly hacked it diagonally into Chigaru's neck, leaving it covered in blood.
He repeated this gruesome act multiple times until Chigaru's neck was nothing but a mangled mess.
"You filthy insect fucker." Archibald's overkill did not end there. He used the half-moon to sever Chigaru's nose from his body while cursing him.
The scene was gruesome, with blood gushing out of Chigaru's body and his nose lying separately. This kill brought Archibald's total number of kills to ten.
Archibald fixed Orcus with a withering gaze, his anger palpable as he turned his back on the Romance of Lust.
He was so furious that if it were possible for steam to escape from a person's body, Archibald would have been emitting more than a steamboat.
"You... I will kill you, then you will be in an despair for all eternity." He vowed to get revenge on Orcus, promising him an eternity of endless despair.
"Good day, my name is Orcus, also known as the Romance of Lust. I am sorry that I had to put an end to your comrade." Orcus attempted to apologize in a very calmed manner, introducing himself as the Romance of Lust and expressing remorse for having to end Archibald's comrade's life. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Archibald's seething rage.
It was clear that Archibald had no intention of accepting Orcus's apology, nor was he interested in hearing any further words from him.
His mind was consumed with thoughts of vengeance, and he could not bear the sight of Orcus any longer. With a fierce scowl, Archibald stormed off, leaving Orcus to contemplate the gravity of his actions.
"Don't give me that bullshit. We both are aware that there will be fatalities as a result of this awful struggle. Even so, I will not relent in my pursuit of vengeance against you on behalf of Veronica." Archibald's rage towards Orcus was fueled by his love for Veronica, and he was determined to avenge her death no matter the cost.
Despite knowing that fatalities were inevitable in this fight, he refused to back down. Love can be a powerful motivator, even among the most ruthless killers.
Without hesitation, Archibald began to chant an unusual mantra before charging towards Orcus with his sword drawn. In a move that caught even Orcus off guard, Archibald scored a surprise strike against him.
Though Orcus was quick to react and managed to move his shadow to avoid the attack, he was taken aback by Archibald's swift follow-up assault.
Archibald's attack was faster than he had anticipated, and it was clear that Archibald was not holding back in his pursuit of vengeance.
Archibald's furious attacks continued to rain down on Orcus, hitting him repeatedly. However, despite their ferocity, they failed to cause any significant damage to Orcus. He was able to expertly maneuver his shadow to block and dodge each strike with precision and skill.
Despite the disadvantage of playing defense, Orcus decided to take a chance and make a move.
He remembered his personal credo from before he became a member of the Pillar of Lust: 'Just hit the nail with the hammer.' With this in mind, he launched a sudden counterattack, unleashing a swift and powerful strike with his arm weaponry aimed at Archibald's exposed flank.
Archibald was caught off guard by Orcus's sudden move, and he barely managed to dodge in time. The strike missed its target, grazing Archibald's side instead.
Blood spurted from the wound, but Archibald did not slow down or falter. Instead, he continued his relentless assault, using his broadsword to strike Orcus with a flurry of attacks.
Orcus struggled to keep up with Archibald's barrage, but his mastery of his shadow allowed him to deflect and dodge many of the blows.
However, as the fight dragged on, Orcus began to tire, and Archibald's attacks started to take their toll. Despite this, Orcus remained determined to emerge victorious, even if it meant risking his life in the process.
Orcus had always followed a simple yet effective approach whenever he was faced with a difficult situation, and he shared this with Archibald. He believed that choosing the least complicated route almost never failed him.
Orcus demonstrated his point by sidestepping one of Archibald's sword strikes, using his head to deflect the blow.
His dark power then manifested itself in the form of a sharp spike that protruded from his forehead, which he used to deliver a deadly headbutt aimed directly at Archibald.
