Alex no demon volume 2 chapter 39

As Diablo and Shinki flew at top speed, Shinki blasted red light beams that tore through the wastelands, wiping out mountains and leaving destruction in their wake. Diablo, unfazed, simply flew and dodged the attacks. Each beam caused devastating explosions, erasing the terrain with raw power.

Shinki created giant spears of red energy that circled around him like orbiting blades. With a fierce glare, he launched them at Diablo at the speed of light.

Diablo weaved through the oncoming barrage effortlessly. He did it with great skills and precision. Each spear he dodged created massive shockwaves, scattering debris and leaving giant craters all over the landscape.

"Honestly, your attacks are as dangerous as ever," Diablo said mid-flight, smirking. "But you'll need more than that if you want to even dirty my clothes."

Shinki landed with a crash, slamming into the ground. He charged up a huge amount of crimson energy, the light spiraling around him in violent waves. With a fierce cry, he launched himself back into the sky and sent a giant energy slash flying toward Diablo.

They clashed mid-air, both flying at speeds faster than light by almost 12 times. Shinki swung his sword, trying to land a hit, but Diablo dodged every strike effortlessly. Each swing of Shinki's blade was powerful enough to slice through entire landscapes and shred mountains to dust.

Both fighters eventually landed with a huge burst of energy and power. Diablo looked around at the ruined wastelands.

"We just started fighting two minutes ago," he said, amused. "And yet you alone managed to cause so much damage. I'm impressed. No wonder you're the strongest Dark Sign member."

Shinki narrowed his eyes, thoughts racing.

"How is he able to dodge my light beams and slashes? I don't understand what makes this guy so strong…. My attacks should be almost 12 times that of light, and unlike Sorata or Kenji, my attacks slices and kills on touch. So how?"

As if reading his thoughts, Diablo spoke again.

"You must be wondering why I can dodge all your attacks and why you haven't even scratched me."

He smirked. "Well, it's because I'm built different."

Shinki's annoyance flared "Don't fuck with me!!"

Diablo grinned. "You wanna keep going? After all, this is just a fun exercise for me."

Infuriated, Shinki powered up his sword, which began to glow and crackle with powerful red energy. "You won't be smiling if I obliterate you now, will you!?"

With a furious yell, he fired a massive red beam at Diablo.

Diablo raised his finger, smiling. With a casual flick, he slapped the beam aside. It flew into a distant mountain and incinerated it completely.

Shinki's eyes widened in disbelief.

Diablo lowered his hand.

"I'm still only using 10% of my power, you know. And besides… you haven't even laid a scratch on me."

He paused, then added with a smile, "You really are strong, Shinki. I see why you're the strongest of the Dark Sign. You can use attacks that move faster than light itself, and your power is on another level for a B-ranker. You're impressive, Shinki."

Shinki clenched his fists. "How are you able to react to my attacks… and not take any damage from them?! Do you know how hard I worked to become this fast and strong? And you just dodge and deflect everything I throw at you like they're nothing."

"Isn't it obvious?" Diablo responded, floating in the air. "I'm basically untouchable."

He crossed his arms and began to explain.

"My powers are divided into sections. Each percentage determines how destructive I get. 10% can wipe out cities20%? Countries. 50% lets me destroy planets with ease. And when I'm at 100%…" He paused. "I can destroy reality and mess with time as much as I want. Its something i don't fully understand yet, but i know i can pull it off."

Diablo's smile widened.

"To put it simply, I'm basically god. Every single ability and power that exists — and even the ones that don't exist yet — were created by me."

He looked Shinki in the eye. "I can't be affected by attacks, no matter how fast or strong they are. Reality warping, space manipulation, time manipulation, even plot manipulation — none of them work on me. The only problem now is that I'm scared. So scared that I'm not sure if I can undo or recreate things back to the way they were if I were to go all out. Even gods aren't above mistakes and fuck ups!"

Shinki took a deep breath and replied, "It doesn't matter what crazy abilities or powers you have up in your ass. I know I'm going to lose to you. But even if this is hopeless… I'm not running."

Diablo gave a soft, pleased smile. "Good. Then bring it on. Im waiting."

Shinki powered up a massive wave of energy, red lightning flickering around him, releasing wind pressure strong enough to shake mountains. He stared up at Diablo.

"I'm going to see this through to the end… so I can see how strong Kazuki has become."

"Overkill!" he shouted, dashing toward Diablo.

Their clash shook the sky. Mountains shattered. Explosions as bright as nuclear blasts erupted across the battlefield.

Diablo, still dodging and smiling, spoke to himself.

"Wow… You really are strong, Shinki. If you were there with Kazuki all this time as a big brother… he'd be proud."

Shinki let out a furious yell, unleashing a rapid-fire barrage of red energy beams at Diablo, who continued to dodge with impossible speed, flipping mid-air as if to mock him.

"Is that all you've got? Shouldn't this be your *Ultimate Technique*?" Diablo taunted.

Shinki rushed at him again, both of them soaring past mountains, which crumbled and turned to ash just from their passing speed.

A memory flashed in Shinki's mind.

A man with black hair in his twenties once looked at him with a gentle smile and said, "You're strong. You've got real potential. And in order for that potential to rise, I'll help you."

Fueled by that memory, Shinki screamed, summoning a giant magic circle above the battlefield. Red lightning shot down from the sky, vaporizing everything it touched.

Then, Shinki created one final technique — a giant arrow made entirely of red energy. "WITH THIS SINGLE ATTACK, IM GOING TO VAPORIZE YOU!", he exclaimed with sheer anger.

Diablo watched it, impressed.

"You really are strong," he said. "I suppose that attack might wrinkle my jacket. Guess I'll have to show you 50% of my power now."

Dark energy began to spark around Diablo's fingers.

As Shinki fired the arrow — faster than light itself — Diablo raised his hand.

"This attack alone could wipe out the entire planet… so I better be careful. I don't want to destroy what im trying to protect."

He spoke two words: "Black Eraser."

Dark energy burst from his fingers, slicing through Shinki's arrow effortlessly and flying off into space. The blast was so powerful it destroyed a large cluster of stars within seconds. This was something Diablo could do at rapid fire.

Diablo blinked. "Huh… Didn't expect Black Eraser to be that strong."

The red aura powerfull around Shinki vanished. He collapsed to the ground, unconscious, a deep hole torn through his chest.

Diablo descended slowly and looked at his fallen opponent.

"As much as I'd like to kill you," he said, "I have to let you go. Kazuki's the one who wants to kill you — and he's looking for answers only you can give."

He turned away, his expression calm

"I understand your pain. I wish you the best.",Diablo waved as he vanished away into the distance.

From a distance, Sorata and Kenji watched in silence.

Kenji turned. "Should we help him?"

Sorata shook his head. "Nah. Let him be. He's got a lot going through his head right now."

Shinki stirred. Despite the damage, he stood up slowly, a deep wound in his chest. Without a word, he opened a portal… and stepped through it.

End of Chapter.
