A blonde woman stood still above a large, red-roofed castle. Her sharp red eyes glancing at the distance in silent contempt. Her demons have already obeyed her orders, gathering in huge armies across the entire city they had taken over.

Powerful magicians were strategically placed around the walls, ready with their spells to blast anything that showed up, likewise, ballista, archers, and stone throwers were also awaiting her orders. Huge Giant Demon Warriors were holding enormous boulders that could easily crush anything once they fell.

At the center of the city, three Demon Lords stood still, tightly grasping their red jewels, Archdemon Core Shards, surrounded by fifty Mid Ranking Demons, tightly armored with armor and weapons.

And she stood alone above her castle, confident and proud. Only a few High-Ranking Demons wandered around her castle, and there were a few Cultists she had decided not to eat standing near her.

She had not called anybody for help either, her pride wouldn't let her. However, her entire army was more than ready to fight just anything that could ever show up. Flying demons were constantly patrolling the skies, and her watchful red eyes silently kept a watch of everything.

In less than two days, Sarauviel and Enmity's presences completely disappeared, against her expectations, both were slaughtered by the group of students sent here by Monica.

However, Christine comforted her own doubts by thinking that they were simply... too weak. She was the strongest of the three, and her Demonic Spirit was also the mightiest as well. There was also the Demon Lord and his army a few hundreds of kilometers away, but she did not rely on them either.

As a prideful hound, she wanted to test them. To test how truly strong they were. She believed they won because those two were too lax, they were caught off-guard, but she prepared, more than anybody.

Be it from the skies, the ground, the walls, or underground, wherever they were to come from, she would intercept them all and massacre them. She even had prepared a powerful spell beforehand, ready to unleash it whenever Blake were to summon his Familiars from just any position, even the skies!

"They must be here in just any moment now..." She smiled. "Come, I'll blast you into smithereens before you can even realize what's happening. And then I'll happily devour your remains."

"L-Look, over there!"

"Lady Christine!"

The two lackeys she had around pointed into the skies, as Christine's red eyes noticed a large quantity of darkness and blood energy gathering.

The clouds turned completely black, as red lightning began to gather from within. Christine quickly noticed over a hundred flying beasts, Wyverns covered on armor and even holding swords.

"They're here!" She smiled maniacally, pointing her hands into the skies. "All mages, into position! Blast them before they can even descend!"

At the same time as she said those words, dozens of magic circles activated at once, conjuring a mighty Demon Magic Spell she had prepared beforehand!

"You're not even getting down, you bastards!" She laughed. "Learn your damn place, you insolent brats! [Infernal Demon Magic: Apocalypse]!"

The magic circles kept multiplying more and more, as an enormous quantity of black and dark red flames were conjured, being fired as a titanic beam of all-powerful flames, capable of even disintegrating an entire small mountain all on their own!

TRUUUUUMMMM...!

The beam absorbed all other magic spells sent into the skies, increasing its power even further as they reached the dark skies where Christine sensed Blake and his friends and familiars!

"DIE!!!"

FLUOSH!

While putting all her attention into destroying her foe, Christine never realized that space itself opened right behind her, revealing a pink and black-colored portal made of dream-like clouds.

And from within, a girl covered on golden scales, with golden dragon wings, tail, and pointy golden horns emerged, swinging a gigantic hammer in the shape of a stone-made turtle shell, imbued with large quantities of Holy Magic, and smiting her into the ground!

"Huh?"

When she finally saw her, it was too late.nOve-Lb(1n

BAAAAAMMMM...!

Christine felt her barriers shattering, her demonic armor broke down to pieces, and her bones pierced her own flesh. The sheer weight of the hammer wasn't a problem for her, but that sheer weight, fused with a tremendous, explosive quantity of Holy Light and Ki, made it formidable.

To the point that when she got hit by it, she was incapable of retaliate in time, and had half her body triturated like meat pulp.

"AAAARGGHH...!"

With an agonizing scream, the entire city shook, the Demons panicked, and the nearby Demon Cultists screamed in horror as they saw Christine being triturated by a mysterious half-light dragon blonde girl, with an aura emanating the almighty saintly power of a Holy Spirit blessed!

"T-The young Saintess?!"

"Lady Christine!!!"

It felt as if everything was going in slow motion. The moment Elizabeth moved out of the Dream Realm Pocket Dimension that Cattalina had created, she caught Christine off-guard and pulverized her!

But that wasn't all, as more mighty Spirit Masters kept pouring out of the Dream Portal, alongside a gigantic Nightmare Hound and a Dream Devourer, two of Cattalina's Rank 8 Spirits!

Elfriedden, Erdrich, Eric, Alberta, Chris, Erika, and Elizabeth came out, alongside all of Blake's Vampire Spirits! Eleanora didn't waste a single second, summoning a Katana made of flames and cutting down the two cultists into pieces, setting them ablaze.

"Begone, trash!"

SLAAASH! SLAAASH!

"Gryyyaaaaggh!"

"Uuuaaaggh...!"

Before they could even transform into their half-demon appearances, they were reduced to ashes! All in just less than five seconds! At the same time, as Christie screamed in agony, her flesh quickly started to move, resembling a slime made of meat, countless tendrils emerged out of her flesh, shapeshifting her appearance.

"GRAAAAHHH! YOU BASTARDS!"

Countless tentacles that ended on enormous human-like jaws popped out of her fleshy self, as her entire self-shapeshifted, having already fused with her Demonic Spirit.

At the same time as that happened, a part of her consciousness glanced into the skies, hoping that she would had at least blasted Blake and his stupid army of Familiars!

Only to see a sight even more ridiculous.

The young man extended his Demonic Arm, which resembled a gigantic, huge Demonic Beast made of flesh and covered in countless tendrils, tentacles, and insectoid wings, opening a huge spiraling jaw, and devouring all the flames that made up her strongest spell, Apocalypse.

"[Infernal Flames Authority]! [Gluttony Authority]!" He laughed. "Foolish Christine, did you truly believed demonic flames would ever harm my body?! Hahahaha!"

With a malicious, evil laughter, Blake mocked Christine's efforts! It felt as if the roles had been switched, and he and his group were the true villains, with their devious and malicious plans, and their utter mockery of their foes efforts!

"You're truly pathetic."

As Blake said those words, it was revealed he was sitting above a gigantic Demonic Blood Dragon, Ruby, while he commanded his army of Dracos to descend, massacring the panicked demons that lost their composure the moment they heard her scream of agony!

"Rejoice!" Blake spoke to her through telepathy. "You will now learn why your Archdemon Lords fear me so much! Agonize and scream as much as you want! Your death shall not be swift! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

For the first time in her entire life... Christine feared a human.
