A God Without Pride Chp 108

#VEGITO POV#

"So, what do we do now?" Asks Towa as I think about our current issue

How to deal with a Fallen Angel

"I could call for some backup..." I think out loud

Connor, Danny, Percy, and I would be capable of dealing with him...

"VEGITO MOVE," Screams Towa trying to tackle me to the side as a blur comes near me which I dodge easily causing a pillar of smoke to rise up into the sky

"A god in this place," Says a distorted voice reeking with evil

"I felt a piece of my liege's power here, but you take priority," Says the demon as he swipes the smoke away and I am actually impressed by this demon

He disappears from view and I grab his wrist that he used to attempt to slice me

("Towa don't interfere,") I order her as I send a punch towards the demon

He is not exactly powerful, at least he doesn't feel powerful but, something about him is unsettling to me

The demon has dark green skin with full red eyes and what seems to be blood falling from his eyes and a line of blood also pouring from his mouth

I narrow my eyes as the demon seems to be studying me back

"A mortal that became a god, now that is interesting," Says the demon before we rush towards one another

Our fists collide creating a massive shockwave, but I manage to beat the demon during our exchange as he is sent flying backwards

("Vegito...that is the demon ruler of this layer,") Says Towa in my mind as I stare the demon down as he stands up slowly

("Something is wrong, all of the rulers that I heard about were more into letting their primal rage control them but this one seems strangely calm, too calm") Says Towa as she flies back a bit as the demon begins to power up

"I have never fought a god before, I heard that you all were arrogant that it could rival that of a demon, but you appear to belong to the type of gods that our master warned us about,"

"A god without pride," He finishes as he rushes towards me and we begin to truly fight

I am really surprised that after I land a hit he uses a rather powerful telepathic attack against me

I shake off my surprise and retaliate and the difference in skill is shown when he easily deflects my telepathic attack rather easily

I smirk as I rush at him

Punching him in the chest and then kicking him in the stomach only for him to grab my leg and his nails stretch out and sink into my leg

I spin around and kick him in the head which causes him to let go of my leg and I take the opportunity to blast him

My eyes widen as he simply appears on my side and almost lands his own punch

(He teleported) I realize as I dodge his teleportation attacks and dodge even more as small portals allowing his fists and some blasts through to appear seemingly at random

This guy sure is crafty...

("Vegito kill him, now,") Says Towa warningly

I don't take another moment as I punch through the demon's chest killing him instantly

"Why did you tell me to kill him," I ask her 

"Something is not right, a demon ruler in this layer should not have techniques that are so complicated...what," I turn around only to see the demon vanish slowly as even the blood that was on my arm disappears

Suddenly, I am kicked from behind as the demon reappears out of nowhere

Something is different

He is stronger

I turn around and stare at the demon as he begins to bleed more heavily than before but this time, the blood seems to burn the ground when it falls

Acidic poison

Interesting...

He spits some blood at me which I defend against by using a magic barrier

But, something surprising happens

The magical barrier around me begins to meltdown

("VEGITO, HIS BLOOD CAN AFFECT THE SOUl") Screams Towa as I leap back

("Soul attacks, got it")I tell her as I look at the demon as he begins to turn into a blood-red color as power begins to surround him

Blasting him from existence again, I focus on him as his body disappears but, I end up dodging as I am more on guard this time

"What the..." I say as I begin to get a grasp on the situation

Damn it

He is altering reality...no...he is altering time, by cutting a piece of time itself out, those pieces being his deaths 

Then again using my own very limited time manipulation abilities, this demon is far ahead than I am in terms of skill

But, there is a rule that I know invalidates pure skill

Pure, unrelenting power

I use Kaio-ken times 5 and blitz him into pieces

But, nothing seems to work

What's worse is that he seems to be adapting to my strength and speed slowly

How to kill him...

I decapitate him one more time until a thought pops into my head

Well, no time like the present

I begin to focus my God Ki as I tap into the barest of scraps of destruction that are lying around in this dimension and send an energy blade of Destruction energy

Gathering this power requires immense focus, especially since I am working with literal scraps of the [Destruction Authority] lying around

I managed to hit the demon's arm causing it to disappear as the demon nonchalantly cut his own arm off without so much of a flinch

He appears to be focusing as energy gathers where his arm used to be and the stump seems to be trying to grow but nothing happens

The demon lets out a snort as an energy arm forms on the stump and he lunges at me while I attempt to strike out at him, I very simply send him flying away without much trouble

"Learning is done, thank you," I say to the demon

"What did you say,"

"I said thank you for showing me your tricks," I tell the demon as I use my Grand Magic to nullify his ability to alter time and cut him to pieces

But...I stop as I get near him as a black portal opens behind him

An arm reaches out and rips right through his chest and I see his still beating heart

"Worthless," I hear a voice say coming from the portal

The voice makes my skin crawl as I stare at the light blue hand with red veins popping out as it brings its arm back through the portal and as it closes, I can hear the thing eat the still-beating heart

"That...what was that?" Asks Towa as I turn towards her as she is on her knees with vomit on the ground

"What?" I ask her

"That energy...it was disgusting," She answers and I narrow my eyes at that

"I couldn't sense any energy from either demon, at least not truly," I tell her

"What..."
