Demon Lord vs Holy Paladin

BANG!

Multiple movements that eyes couldn't even detect occurred simultaneously. In one moment, Mini Ladd and Samara were high in the sky, and the next, between the collapsing streets.

After avoiding another slash, Mini Ladd clenched his right hand into a tight fist. The space around his fist twisted with strong gravitational force, and he punched out.

Samara was over several kilometers away from him, but the punch arrived instantly, almost as if by teleportation.

Despite such speed, her body flickered, and she ducked to the side, letting the punch smash on the building behind instead

"What the hell?!" Terroriser's eyes popped out from the resulting impact of the punch.

Instead of exploding, the building vanished! It was like the fist was a black hole, devouring the building, leaving no traces of its existence.

BOOM!

At the very same instant, the vanished building erupted out of the fist, but in the form of broken pieces! These pieces raged through the air like meteors and smashed on the ground, sending a mass of dirt up.

Mini Ladd was using his Earth attribute, one of his domains, the gravity domain, a power that allowed him to skillfully manipulate gravity. He moved those broken pieces to attack Samara.

At the same time, as Mini Ladd's punch missed the target, from behind, Samara's greatsword sliced through the air to strike at his waist.

Sensing the attack, Mini Ladd somersaulted. The wings swept under his somersaulting body, and in mid-somersault, he waved his hand towards his opponent.

Whoosh~!

Multiple flashes of light mix of black and crimson emerged from his palm and condensed into energy spears. With a shrill shriek, they tore through the air and heavily slammed into Samara's chest, giving her no time to dodge.

BANG!

She was sent crashing down, decimating a dozen buildings entirely.

Mini Ladd smiled as he saw Samara coughing blood. However, in the next instant, the injured figure of his enemy disappeared, and she reappeared in front of him.

"Rahhhh!" Samara flew out a roar and punched his chest with her slender fist covered in divine energy. This energy tore through his defenses, then blew open like cobwebs and ripped through his internals, trying to claw their way out of the other side of his body.

Swoosh~!

A dazzling golden glow erupted out of his body and overpowered the violent energy inside Mini Ladd's body. Recovering in a second from the time he crashed, Mini Ladd rose and shot straight at Samara.

BOOM!

The two collided with each other, creating a powerful boom. The resulting shockwaves recklessly washed over the remaining portions of the buildings surrounding them, turning them into dust.

Samara gathered more magical energy under her fist and tried to smash it into Mini Ladd's chest, but he dodged before summoning his weapon, a giant sword twice his size. Gravity increased, forcibly pulling Samara closer, but she lifted her arm and swung. Under everyone's astonishing eyes, Mini Ladd's gravity simply vanished.

"What?" Mini Ladd was shocked. He hastily put some distance between him and Samara. "This won't be enough!" he declared, raising his sword, "No matter the slaughter of billions, no matter the destruction of a thousand worlds, Monolith is never satisfied!"

The sword produced a deep, demonic noise, and shook with pure power. Upon seeing this, Samara seized her sword with both hands and prepared to defend against his attack.

Whoosh~!

Blasts of wind gusted at Samara, so strong that they could uproot an entire neighborhood. Her golden hair floated, and her clothes in her golden armor fluttered. She stood there unmoving and decided to unleash her own.

"[Divine Truth!]"

The sword was surrounded by golden flames, becoming a living sun. Samara raised it, and roared.

The sword tip disappeared and reappeared before Mini Ladd, who, shockingly, blocked with her weapon before unleashing his strongest skill, which caused the world to turn dark as night had fallen.

"[Primordial Evil]!"

KABOOOOOM!

"Damn it!" Samara emitted a startled cry, and Mini Ladd became more powerful, scaring her. Now he had six pairs of wings, making a total of twelve wings. This was the infamous skill Mini Ladd possessed, a power that increased his strength significantly by the sins of the world. Unless sins exist, it gives him power, and the more sins it is, the more power Mini Ladd requires.

Mini Ladd moved. His speed was a lot faster than her, and the wings rapidly closed into each other with Samara in the center. But to her surprise, as the wings approached, they split into dark glowing feathers.

"Shit!"

Samara didn't have to wait to find out what he planned. The glowing feathers rapidly spun around her, caging her.

Whoosh~!

Thousands of feathers clashed into her body simultaneously.

BOOM!

She got swallowed entirely.

As the feather vortex, which numbered thousands continued to swirl fiercely, only Mini Ladd's expression remained the same as ever, cold and detached. He made a squeezing motion, and in response, the glowing vortex brutally shrank inward, becoming smaller and smaller, trying to squeeze Samara to death.

Just then, everyone thought it would be the end for the Holy Paladin as an ear-piercing crackling sound erupted from the vortex. Dazzling, twisting colorful golden light followed, scattering through the layers of feathers. As the feathers spread apart, the colorful light shot straight into the sky, turning it into psychedelic.

The expressions of the onlookers drastically changed, and they looked at the collapsing vortex in utter disbelief.

Among the swirling feathers, Samara stood, her eyes shut and body torn and opened with wounds; however, soon enough, she was healed as if everything that happened before was a joke.

Mini ladd silently cursed,

"[Purgatory: Eye of Terror!]"

He murmured, and the world changed. His body transformed into something sinister with three horns, his angel wings vanished and were replaced with something that resembled a mix of bat and dragon's wing.

Suddenly Mini Ladd's eyes opened up violently, glowing with warping colorful patterns.

RIIPP!

The psychedelic sky split apart, and an aperture burst into existence, forming a gateway to another dimension, and this dimension was filled with depthless, twisting, colorful stripes.

These stripes shot down and spread around like a curtain.

Swoosh~!

They covered everything, from the ground to the sky, making everyone feel like they were thrust into a kaleidoscope.

Ooohhhhhhhh!!!!

Vengeful cries and shrieking howls rang out as colorful shadows emerged from the stripes, resembling ghosts and demons.

"What the hell is that?!" Terroriser's eyes dramatically bulged. His cybernetic sensors sensed energy so dreadful and menacing that his very soul trembled, feeling as if it was both refined and punished.

The people in the surrounding seemed to agree with his feelings as they scrambled backward. Just seeing the shadows made them feel as if they were in the presence of the almighty figures that carried the power of judgment, murder, and mercilessness. Something that shouldn't exist in this world, they felt weak. The unluckiest even fainted with foam coming out of their mouths as their bodies kept twitching nonstop.

Seeing such an immeasurable amount of pure confusion and incomprehensible things anyone could describe what they had witnessed, Samara frowned and she rapidly reigned in the rage threatening to swallow her consciousness. The current Mini Ladd was a bit stronger than her, but still, it made this fight exciting. Any mishap could lead to a defeat, and who said defeat meant certain death.

As two energies clashed, the world trembled as if an apocalypse was happening.

"So this is the true power of a demigod?" Terroriser mumbled. He was frightened yet excited to witness such a fight on a whole different level in this fantasy world. He underestimated this world's power indeed.

Meanwhile, Samara, who remained silent after Mini Ladd's transformation, finally acted. She lifted her arms as the vague shadows flew towards her. Herbody and golden armor began to glow in Holy light. Suddenly, a ring of a thousand glowing sabres made out of pure magic power materialized around her before they were shot out.

Not only were her sabres extremely sharp and filled with the power to penetrate anything, but they also shouldered the weight of thousands of tons, strong enough to crush everything.

Such frightening sabres made the surrounding space tremble.

RIIIP!

They tore through the air at a speed that left behind hundreds of afterimages, making it impossible for others even to notice the movements.

Space trembled again, air whooshed ominously, and piercing winds spread around.

A ghost howled as a glowing saber stabbed through it.

BANG!

Its frightening figure shattered like a brittle mirror, fading into the air. Even as this ghost disappeared, more sabres were reshot at Mini Ladd.

Seeing the overwhelming number of sabres stabbing forward, Mini Ladd was calm as he simply pulled a colorful stripe and snapped it. Spiritual beings of unimaginable horror flew out and devoured the sabres as though they're food to them.

As soon as they ate all of the swords, countless of them moved toward Samara and prepare to devour her aswell.

BOOM!

An extremely fierce aura exploded out of Samara's body. Her powers amplified, and the spiritual monsters trying to approach were instantly reduced to nothingness.

At the same time, Mini Ladd charged at her, wielding multiple stripes. At an equally impossible speed, Samara brought several floating golden sabres facing the monsters before her, slashing them out diagonally.

BOOOOOM!

The stripes and wings collided, creating a dazzling explosion. The shockwaves swept out, wreaking havoc in all directions as everything in their range was instantly reduced to dust.

The earth sank further and further, and even before the direct collision ended, Mini Ladd summoned another ability.

"[Gravity Domain]"

As the terrifying pull of gravity emerged, Samara's body bulged down, and her hands trembled. Despite the overbearing force of gravity, she neither kneeled nor showed any expression. She bore with the pain before channeling a significant amount of her magic power into her greatsword before swinging it downward and sliced through the intangible cage of gravity.

SCREECH~!

The powerful gravitational force shattered with a loud screeching sound. The intangible shards of gravity scattered around, bursting past Samara and Mini Ladd.

"That's how a battle should be!" Mini Ladd bellowed, not forgetting to taunt his opponent. "For a granny, you are holding your ground. That's not bad. I'm proud of you."

Samara remained silent.

Ignoring the attacks of ghosts and vengeful spirits that continue to attack her from many directions, her figure was coated in golden light and immediately appeared before mini Ladd before smashing her fist on his chest. It was fast, and he couldn't dodge it.

"Cough!" Mini Ladd coughed up a mouthful of blood. His chest and hands ripped open, and hot blood splashed out. However, he ignored the pain as the impact sent him flying when he put his feet on the ground forcefully and stopped himself from dragging back any further.

"This is so much fun!" Mini Ladd grinned as black blood trickled down his lips. "But now is the time we bring this to an end!" he declared, lifting his bloody hand towards the sky before abruptly bringing it down.

"!"

Samara's body tensed up as a sense of danger lifted her, so she immediately crushed the ghosts and demons around her.

More colorful stripes shot down, but unlike anything before, they transformed into gray chains, which they soon pierced through space and swung directly at her!

Samara's eyes constricted, and she jumped up. As she jumped, more chains followed, trying to coil around her.

In mid-air, she spread her arms and the ring of sabres around her moved in circular motions. The air churned, and wind currents swirled together to transform into multiple vortexes!

BOOM!

The vortexes smashed onto the giant door behind. Terrifying fluctuations rippled out, and multiple chains scattered into nothingness.

Meanwhile, Mini Ladd lifted an arm, and a chain made out of dark matter flashed in his hand. He commanded the dark matter chains to attack Samara, who was having trouble dodging it, but just as the chain was about to pierce her body, she disappeared.

BOOM! BANG!

Somehow she reappeared behind Mini Ladd and sent him flying, and she followed him, ignoring the blood falling from her mouth.

Mini Ladd hastily summoned more spiritual monsters and chains to attack Samara. However, she only swung all of her sabres simultaneously.

GRRRR

The sabres sliced through the vengeful ghosts like a sword beam as the resulting shockwaves cut through the surrounding ghosts.

BANG

The ghosts died instantly. However, Mini Ladd had used this opportunity to put distance between them. He stretched his hand, and the moment his giant demonic sword manifested in his hand he spun and swung downard with all his might. Time stopped, and the world seemed to have been sliced apart.

"!"

Her instincts and demigod senses screamed at her, and Samara instantly crossed her arms. At the same, more magical sabres materialized around her and the ring of sabres soon formed a perfect spherical shield around her body. Adding to the table, she even summoned two shields made of holy element and lightning, respectively.

Even so, she could not completely block the strike as all of her sabres were completely destroyed in an instant and her body wrecked. One of her arms was reduced to the elbow, even with her exceptional regenerative ability, she could not make it in time, not amidst such an intense fight.

Cough!

Her heart sank further as a chain managed to sneak past her defense to pierce her back and then shot back into beyond the door. Both ends of the chains were in limbo, and she was stuck in between!

Even as this happened, the other dark matter chains fused with the chain stuck inside her, enhancing its durability. She knew it would be impossible to destroy it right now. There was another problem she was facing, such as her vitality seemed to be getting sucked away. At this rate, she would not last ten minutes before being reduced into a bag of bones or disappearing into this unknown dimension behind her.

Mini Ladd bombarded her with attacks from afar and only got closer when he saw she was extremely weakened and would die soon.

He decided to do one last good favor to his opponent. After all, he was a merciful king as his followers called him.

"Say your prayers, wee las!" He declared as his claw, coating in death manipulation magic, penetrated Samara's chest, going straight to the heart, but before he could do it, a crimson bullet tore through the air and headed right towards his head.

However, the corner of his eyes shifted instantly and simply swatted the bullet with his bare hands and sent it to a mountain which decimated it into oblivion. Looking at the source, his gaze soon fell onto Terroriser with a giant crimson sniper rifle in his hands.

"Hey, Mini!"

"What!"

".....Fuck you!"

Mini Ladd couldn't help but scoffed, "That's it? You seriously think that some simple cuss and bullet can even hurt me, Brian? You fucking dumbass-"

All of a sudden, something grabbed him by the face as one of his eyes caught the sight of Samara's cold gaze at him.

"Never get distracted in a fight." Samara said and immediately unleashed her ultimate ability.

"[Ultimate Skill: Greater Necrosis!]"

Her only eye that had suffered any shone like a kaleidoscope, and Mini Ladd, who happened to be looking at her in that instant, felt something terrible deep within his soul as his power grew lesser the more he stared into her eyes.

In a panic, Mini Ladd instinctively struck a punch at Samara's face and sent her a few kilometers away.

Trying to unleash a powerful spell at her, Mini Ladd felt his strength had weakened significantly. Not only did he feel his power and strength decreasing every second, he felt all of his skills and spells stored deep within his soul were erasing before him.

"YOU LITTLE BLONDE WHORE! 400 YEARS OF WORTH… ALL FUCKING GONE!"

With a roar that shook the fabric of space, Mini Ladd had to use one of his last skills before it could be erased and teleported away, as far away from this battle as possible.

"You deserve to be a powerless Imp afterall." Samara squeezed out those words before landing on her feet toward the ground, injured and weakened.

She let out a tired sigh, "I'm exhausted."

"Indeed we are."

Hearing a familiar voice, she turned to gaze at Terroriser with a cigarette in his mouth, calmly looking at the night sky. Turning to her direction, he handed one cigarette to her and asked.

"Want some? It even got some weed~!"

"...Sure." Samara accepted it nevertheless.
