As he said that, the balor's mace lit up with a very dark fire.
"It is strange that you are not influenced by the peculiarity of my fire, I have already noticed this annoying peculiarity of yours from before." the demon told him.
"I don't even know what you're talking about." Asteri got a question mark not knowing what the demon was saying.
'It speaks of the aura of the master of him, one of the seven demonic lords who rule the abyss and all the demons on this universe.' Aurelion explained to him.
'Who is this demonic lord?' Asteri asked.
'His name is Diablo, also known as the lord of terror.' Aurelion told him.
'Cabbage! just a suitable name. ' Asteri answered.
"Right now you shouldn't even be able to move from fear ... but apparently it doesn't work, it will be because I'm weakened." confused the demon.
"Oh don't worry it definitely won't be for that reason, it's just that I'm not afraid of a dead demon." Asteri replied confidently.
"We'll see ..." the balor finished.
The balor slammed his club against the ground, creating a dozen tongues of fire directed towards Asteri through the ground. Asteri cast another spell, this created a translucent barrier throughout Asteri's body.
"* Barrier *" this allows him to have greater defensive power.
He threw himself into the tongues of fire, taking two or three, but he didn't care about that even if he was hurt, these were the last moments of the fight ... and he had to bring out everything he had. He felt the impact of the demonic fire but this time he was not blown back but instead advanced at the same pace.
"A direct confrontation? Silly." the balor said, mocking him.
"We'll see who the fool is." Asteri retorted.
Asteri knew that a simple sword like his couldn't compete with that mace forged in demon lands, so he had to opt for his fists and ranged attacks, which put him at a disadvantage. Before colliding, Asteri waved the blade creating three cuts of electricity directed towards the balor. the balor deflected a cut with the club, one with his arm, which however caused a cut by letting out some blood, and the other blocked him with his horns.
Eventually the two came close to collide. The balor dropped his mace as Asteri threw a punch that was covered in flames and electricity.
* BOOOOOOOOM *
The collision of the two shots created shock waves that spread throughout the room making her tremble. Waves of fire and electricity, both demonic and Asteri's tricolor, erupted in the midst of the clash. The two did not retreat even a millimeter from their position, neither of them wanted to give up.
"DON'T MOUNT YOUR HEAD, HUMANOOOOOO!" yelled the demon.
"YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD LOWER THE CREST, DEMOOOOOOOON!" Asteri yelled back.
But at some point you could see that the demon was about to take over, causing the latter to groan.
"In the end only this could have been the result, now ... die in terror!" exclaimed the balor.
'No! this is not the end ... just a little more, I have to do it. ' Asteri cheered.
'You can do it, boy! "Aurelion also argued.
Suddenly Asteri's veins turned a brighter color, his eyes shining with more intensity as if they were supernova.
For this fact the balor was no longer able to advance but instead was retreating.
'What happens now ?! this human hunts a higher force all the time. Who is he really? ' the demon wondered, but unfortunately no one knows, not even Asteri himself.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Asteri yelled using all his strength and repelling the demon's club, which eventually shattered under the pressure of Asteri's fist which now looked like a sun of very dazzling fire and electricity.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" the demon screamed before Asteri's fist collided with its muzzle for the second time, but this fist not only disintegrated the demon's head, but created a strong blast of fire and electricity behind it creating a huge hole about twenty wide meters on the wall.
The demon's body, headless by now, fell helpless to the floor, its manes of flames extinguished ... definitively. Asteri knelt on the ground, his spells running out.
"I have to ... find a * phew * sword ... more resistant ... * phew *" Asteri said in the midst of heavy gasps.
'Great job boy, now-' Before Aurelion could finish the speech, Asteri passed out on the ground, having exhausted his strength and taking the backlash of his unique ability.
'As mentioned, rest now there should be no more problems here. I feel only a bit of pity towards that demon who just before the destruction of his head saw a monster that terrified him as much as his master ... maybe even more hehehe. ' Aurelion laughed with satisfaction.
Finishing to say this, however, Aurelion heard the footsteps of heels. Immediately he went on alert by turning his attention to the stranger who approached.
'And he, or rather ... she' Aurelion said seeing that the approaching figure was wrapped in an enormous purple cloak, but that Aurelion could understand that she was a female. The presence that Asteri felt throughout the journey to the cave finally manifested itself.
"Incredible, not only did he fight a balor stronger than him on a par, but he also killed him ... as the mistress said, he is more unique than rare." from the lover's figure came a seductive and fascinating voice.
'Damn boy, wake up! most likely we are in danger. ' Aurelion tried in vain to wake Asteri.
The figure came even closer, and arriving right above Asteri knelt. From the cloak came out a hand and then an arm, the color of that skin was a beautiful light pink. The figure stroked Aster's cheek, moving a lock of white hair as well.
"Not only incredibly talented, but also handsome ... very handsome." the woman said.
From the hood of his cloak Aurelion could only see his fleshy lips and sensual pinkish ones.
"The mistress said to watch him ... but she never talked about doing nothing with him, ufufu," the woman chuckled.
So he waved a hand and a purple smoke came out of his fingers that enveloped Asteri lifting him off the ground. This smoke became a kind of cloud that supported Asteri, from this cloud a kind of thread came out that went towards the hand of the woman that she immediately took. And finished with it she started walking towards the exit from where the Balor entered.
"If I am not mistaken, following this path you will arrive at the right place I am looking for." the woman spoke to herself.
'Come on boy you have to wake up ... I don't know what's going to happen later.' Aurelion complained.
