Prologue : Pitch black

"Give up now and I'll give you a quick death…"

Paimon remarks in a menacing tone.

"Are you kidding me??... I'm just getting warmed up."

Elijah replies adjusting his stance.

Elijah plants his feet in the earth and launches himself at Paimon with such force as to break the ground beneath him causing the latter to put up his guard in anticipation.

Paimon covers his right hand in dark flame and spreads it in an arc towards Elijah with the latter putting up his arms to block the attack and cuts right through it with relative ease.

Paimon attempts to block the attack but is unsuccessful as Elijah makes impact before he can react.

Elijah lands a heavy blow on Paimon's face which sends the latter flying over a hundred meters away, crashing into the earth and creating a large crater in the process.

"Hmm, didn't think he'd fly so far away, I guess I put too much in the punch.

Elijah mutters to himself.

Almost immediately, a dark aura begins to float out of where Paimon had landed with the aura sending a chill down Elijah's spine as it erupted in large volumes engulfing the whole island in a devilish atmosphere.

"What is the hell is that??"

Elijah asks to no-one in particular with a worry on his face as the aura kept on permeating the atmosphere.

Paimon soon rises up from where he had landed with Elijah seeing that the origin of the dark aura he felt was coming from the archdemon a couple of meters away from him.

"Up until now I had underestimated you and your kind, you clearly are a worthy foe but you seem to forget who you are up against….. I had told you that I would show you the true power of an archdemon, now gaze upon my power and cower at its glorious feel…."

Paimon remarks with a darkness in his eyes and terror in his voice.

He let's out a roar and the dark aura that was coming out of his being became even more violent as it increased in volume.

Elijah puts his arm up to block himself from the enormous pressure coming from Paimon but is caught off-guard as Paimon teleports to his front and kicks him hard across the face before he can react.

Elijah is crushed under the pressure of Paimon as the ground beneath him shatters at the force of Paimon's kick. Another kick from Paimon to Elijah's groin sends him flying into a rock, shattering it upon impact.

"Now you shall know pain."

Paimon remarks with a dreadful laugh.

"Damn it… he seems to have gotten stronger all of a sudden, I guess I shouldn't have been so cocky."

Elijah says, muttering softly as he picked himself from the shattered remains of the rock he had slammed into.

Paimon begins to move towards Elijah with a grin, his body overflowing with dark energy.

His aura began to form spikes behind him which he hurls at Elijah to make a statement. Elijah dodges the spikes with ease and rushes towards Paimon to engage in close combat.

"Foolish human, even now you do not have the humility to accept defeat and just give up already."

Paimon remarks in a condescending manner.

"Sorry but giving up is not something I'm familiar with."

Elijah remarks as he dashed forward.

Elijah succeeds in wiping the grin off Paimon's face with his words as the grin became a frown.

Paimon doesn't stand on ceremony but charges towards Elijah as well with both men meeting at the middle with colliding fists as a shockwave erupts upon impact.

Paimon and Elijah trade blows with increased intensity has the speed of their attacks increase even further, Paimon takes a step back and spreads his arms.

"Pitch black… Now gaze upon the darkness has it envelopes and swallows your light."

Paimon says.

"The hell…"

Elijah replies.

Their surroundings is immediately covered in thick and utter darkness with visibility rendered impossible, Elijah stood still as the darkness converged around him

"What's wrong human??... Can't you see me??."

Paimon mocks from the darkness.

"The hell is this technique, it's sickening."

Elijah mutters to himself as he tried to move through the darkness.

"Ha-ha.."

Paimon bursts into a cackle that Elijah could hear from every direction causing him to try covering his ears so as to block out the sounds.

Elijah tries to calm his nerves so as to properly assess the situation.

He is almost done doing so when a fist connects with his jaw and breaks his line of concentration.

Elijah steps back a bit and is about to move forward to where the fist had come out from when he was met with another fist from the left, connecting with his torso.

Elijah grabs his torso and is about to kick in that direction but then he is greeted with a barrage of punches from every angle in the thick darkness around him.

Elijah falls to the ground and coughs a bit as he held on to his torso.

"What's the matter, oh great chosen one, why do you crawl on the earth like an animal??.... Where is all your cockiness now, aye."

Paimon mocks Elijah even more as the laughter around the darkness gets even more sinister with the sound echoing throughout the lonely abyss.

"Not yet…. I'm not done yet..."

Elijah says, muttering to himself as he struggled to get back to his feet.

"Huh, what are you saying to me, speak already.."

Paimon says ina rather gruff manner.

"I said, not yet…. I'm not giving up just yet!!!!!"

Elijah screams his head off after which he steadies himself at the middle of the darkness around him.

Elijah clasps his hands and spreads his legs out slightly. He begins to grow brightly causing the sinister laugh of Paimon to die down

"What are you doing??"

Paimon yells as he sends more punches at Elijah, but this time Elijah blocks a couple of them with some difficulty as he kept his cool.
