Confrontation Part 3

( Somewhere else. )

[ Abyss Tower, Top Floor Balcony. ]

The Lord of the Tower sits in his chair, monitoring the events inside the Top Floor.

As he oversees things, the battle that happens outside, a blade comes from behind him.

" Hmmm...? "

" Don't move! "

" Who are you!? " The Lord of the Tower asked as the person who put his sword in front of his neck says.

" My name is Ragna Kent...! " Ragna says, coming out from the shadows.

" Are you the Deviant called 'Thorndamn'? " Ragna asks the lord, calling him by his name.

" You know me, human? " he asked him back.

"( Did this human youngster just call me 'Deviant' instead of 'Demon'? )" Thorndamn asks himself this.

"( Who is this guy? )" Thorndamn asks himself, wondering who is this teenager that is currently holding his life on the line.

...

[ Abyss Tower, Top Floor (inside the Tower) ]

" How many summonses could Waterson actually summon!? "

" Goddamit! " Galen asks as he and the Battle Maiden stand on their ground attacking every Demon that comes to their location.

[ Thunder Sting Strike ]

[ Galen's most dangerous "Stinger Martial Arts" Technique, has high damage, both to the opponent's outer flesh and internal organs. ]

Galen uses this ability on the largest monster that attacks him as it tries to stomp with his feet, jumping first to make the stomp more deadly than before. As it's feet want to stomp him, Galen immediately uses [ Thunder Sting Strike ] with full force, destroying that large ass monster completely both it's flesh and internals are all wiped out, making it explode in front of the others.

" Gahh...! " Galen rests for a bit, as the attack costs too much power to perform.

During his rest, some demon decided to attack Galen in his blind spot, but.

" Who makes you think you can do that, demon? " Battle Maiden asks as [Judgment Libra] activates its use.

[ Judgment Libra activated ]

[ Blindspot Guardian Commenced ]*

[ Judgment Libra Item's ability, using its primordial divine power to destroy any enemies that try to attack from every blindspot. ]

" Haah... " Battle Maiden says as the ability activation costs her many Divine Powers but still.

*Demons explode due to the ability*

*Boom* *Bam* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat* *Bam* *Boom* *Bam*

*Splat* *Splat* *Boom* *Splat* *Splat* *Bam* *Bam* *Boom* *Splat*

*Boom* *Splat* Bam* Bam* *Boom* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat* Bam*

Blood of demons splats everywhere as the sneaky demons exploded while they tried to attack them by surprise. Libra obliterate them, judging them to be [Guilty] and thus those demons were doomed to be executed.

Seeing it, Galen looks at the Battle Maiden as she uses her sword to stand after using Libra's ability.

"( Such a powerful attack, so this is the 'Battle Maiden', the Divine Avatar of Athena? )" Galen asks as he sees the massacre done by Battle Maiden.

As he thinks, suddenly another large demon arrived in front of Battle Maiden which she noticed at the time.

"( Dammit, I've seen it. )" she says as she can't make Libra do the ability if she sees the enemy.

But before she was hit, Galen covers her, coming at her location full-speed using [Grasshopper Step] and then immediately using [Energy Penetration Strike] to destroy the enemy internally, making it fall as he then uses [Energy Penetration Fist].

*BAM!*

The large monster was obliterated, as he did that. At that explosion, another stupid Demon tries to surprise attack them, but Libra immediately destroys it making both of them realize that the demonic creatures had chosen them as their prey.

" Battle Maiden...? " Galen asks her and helps her stand.

" Yes, Galen... " she says as she prepares her sword for battle.

The Demons surround them, and from those demons.

" The scent from both of your blood... " a voice comes from the skies, it was Gargas, the Bat Demon (Deviant) as he smiles while flying with his [Defiled Wings].

" Are your blood types O? " Gargas asks as he shows his teeth filled with blood.

As Battle Maiden and Galen see him, they noticed the blood on his teeth and tongue. Seeing it, they suddenly noticed that both of their faces has been sliced and fresh blood comes down from them.

" Huh...!? " both of them realized it as they touched their face, feeling the blood out of their hands.

" You...? " Battle Maiden asks Gargas as she realized that Libra didn't destroy him despite him unnoticed by her.

" How did you...? " Battle Maiden asks.

" Your Zodiac Item, [Judgement Libra]... "

" Had some powerful ability... "

" No wonder those Divines want to use it, for its ability so powerful to be used in battle, it guarantees victory. "

" But that is if Libra is used by those gods... "

" But the problem is, it is in the hands of a mortal... " Gargas says as he smirks.

" What are you saying, Demon!? " Battle Maiden asks Gargas about it.

Gargas just looks at her, and checks her body with his eyes, and knows what condition Battle Maiden is in now.

" Oh c'mon, Maiden... "

" You know what I mean... "

" Even if you're a Divine Avatar of the goddess... " Gargas smirk widened.

" You still can't activate the full power of [Judgment Libra], can't you...? " Gargas asks which triggers Battle Maiden after hearing it.

"( He knows...? )"

"( This demon knows...!? )" Battle Maiden realized that the Bat Demon in front of her already knows about her.

....

( At the same time. )

" How many demons did your 'friend' summon, Raiden!? " Kara asks Raiden because she is currently fighting the demons with Aphrodite's Divine Powers.

" Couple of hundreds, maybe... " Raiden says as Adrian keeps giving them waves of demons.

" It depends on how much Adrian could muster... " Raiden says as he sees the crown on Adrian's head.

"( So the crown of sins, had been placed on his head, huh? )" Raiden says as he destroys a demon who tries to attack him in his blind spot, but.

* Demon Exploded*

"( Hmm...? )" Raiden sees this and realized something.

"( So the Divine Judgment Toy had been activated, huh... )"

"( Damn, how many abilities does it had...? )" Raiden wonders while he continue to fight more.

"( Well it seems, this battle is quite secured since we had these girls as our powerhouse arsenals... )" Raiden recounts things.

"( And also, don't forget we had that brat who will do things behind us for us, whatever what he's doing right now. )" Raiden wonders about Ragna, wondering what the hell he's doing right now.

...

( Meanwhile. )

[ 3rd Floor of the Abyss Tower. ]

< Skill: [Black Shadowportation] -- LVL.2 >

" So you can travel using Shadows, huh brat...? " Thorndamn asks Ragna while being his hostage.

Thorndamn, despite being a tall demon, is a skinny one with no muscle for his powers are on his brain ability and the thorny features on his body which he could launch.

As he was being hosted by Ragna who was guarded by his new Black Shadows, Thorndamn then had no choice but to do what he wants as Ragna bring him into a certain Large Door on that Floor.

" Wait, why are you taking me ukkhh-!!! "

" You're the 'lord' of this tower right, Thorndamn!? " Ragna asks as he knocks Thorndamn's head.

" Open this door... " Ragna says as he orders Thorndamn to open the large metal door made from Demonium, the Demon Metals, the opposite of Divinium, the Divine Metal.

< Door of Deviant Storage [Locked] >

Extra:

* Judgment Libra's Blindspot Guardian Ability helps the User to avoid surprise/sneak attacks for the Libra Item would prevent that from happening, destroying the enemies who've done so.

The weakness of this ability is the item can't deal with the enemies that the user notices, or see. For it can only target the opponent its user didn't know existed in the first place.

This ability is one of Libra's abilities used most by the Battle Maiden due to her being blind back then. But since she has eyes, this ability could be a double edge for her.

...

Hope you'll understand, it's quite an OP Item ability though if you had no eyes.
