The Titan vs. The Demon Lord

(Henry's POV)

I smirked, rolling my shoulders as I stared at the towering demon before me.

The Demon Lord radiated pure malice, his dark energy swirling like a raging storm.

His massive, clawed hands flexed, his jagged horns gleaming under the dim, blood-red light of the hideout.

The air trembled from his sheer presence.

But me?

I felt nothing.

If anything, I was excited.

I cracked my neck, feeling the power of my Titan Heart surging through me.

Two hearts.

Two sources of pure, unstoppable energy.

I could feel them pumping in sync, strengthening every fiber of my being.

No fatigue.

No hesitation.

"Alright, let's see what you can do, bitch," I taunted, resting my sword on my shoulder.

The Demon Lord's eyes narrowed, his lips curling into a wicked grin.

"You should choose your words carefully, human."

I scoffed. "You're just another corpse waiting to happen."

Then—he moved.

BOOM!

He vanished in a blur of dark energy, his massive claws swiping toward my head at lightning speed.

But I was faster.

I dodged effortlessly, twisting my body just as his claws sliced through the air, missing me by mere inches.

I felt the shockwave behind me, the sheer force cracking the stone walls.

I landed on my feet, smirking. "That all?"

His eyes flashed, and suddenly—he was behind me.

"Not even close."

BANG!

His fist slammed into my back, sending me crashing through a stone pillar.

Dust and rubble exploded everywhere, cracks spreading through the ground.

Step Three – The Awakening of a Titan

For a moment, everything was silent.

The Demon Lord chuckled, brushing dust off his clawed hands. "Disappointing."

Then—

A deep, slow chuckle echoed from the rubble.

I stood up, rolling my shoulders.

Not a single scratch.

I clenched my fists, feeling the pulse of my Titan Heart.

My body had absorbed the impact, the energy coursing through my veins like unstoppable wildfire.

I grinned, my golden eyes burning with power.

"My turn."

In a blink, I vanished.

BOOM!

I reappeared in front of him, driving my knee straight into his gut with bone-shattering force.

CRACK!

The Demon Lord gasped, his body doubling over as his ribs caved under the impact.

Before he could recover, I grabbed his horns and slammed his skull into the ground, shaking the entire hideout.

BANG!

The stone floor shattered beneath him, his body embedded in the crater.

His glowing eyes widened in shock. "I-Impossible…!"

I wiped a bit of dust off my coat. "You hit like a bitch. My turn was worse, huh?"

He roared in fury, dark energy exploding from his body as he shot up, his claws dripping with hellfire.

"I WILL ERASE YOU!"

I grinned.

"You can try."

I lifted my sword, its celestial energy igniting in golden flames.

With one final step, I launched forward, swinging my blade straight at his throat.

He tried to block—but he was too slow.

SPLASH!

Blood sprayed through the air as my sword cleaved through his neck, his massive body staggering before crashing to the ground.

His head rolled, his glowing eyes flickering before dimming forever.

I exhaled slowly, resting my sword on my shoulder.

The hideout was silent.

The Demon Lord was dead.

And me?

I felt unstoppable.

Just as I turned to leave, a blue holographic screen appeared before me.

I chuckled, my golden eyes glowing brighter.

"Looks like I just keep getting stronger."

I turned, walking toward the exit.

Tomorrow, I had an art exhibition to attend.

Tonight?

I was just getting started.

I exhaled, feeling the raw power surging through me. My body felt lighter, faster, stronger.

That battle was supposed to be difficult—but in the end, it was nothing but a warm-up.

The night air was crisp as I stood outside the demon hideout, my body pulsing with new power.

I exhaled slowly, feeling my two hearts beating in perfect sync.

The Titan Heart had fully awakened, and now—it had evolved even further.

"System, show me my status window."

A blue holographic screen flickered into existence before me.

I smirked as I scanned the new list of abilities.

And then there was the Infernal Eye—a gift from slaying that Demon Lord.

Now, no demon could ever hide from me again.

I clenched my fists, feeling the raw power coursing through my body.

My breath no longer felt heavy.

My muscles no longer ached.

Fatigue? Gone.

I was stronger than ever.

I let out a low chuckle.

"I'm becoming a monster."

A powerful gust of wind blew through the ruins around me, carrying the stench of demon blood.

I rolled my shoulders, feeling no exhaustion, no weakness.

I pulled out a cigarette, lighting it as I stared at the darkened horizon.

"System, scan for remaining demon activity in Norway."

---

[SCANNING...]

No major demonic threats detected in this region.

All high-level entities eliminated.

---

I exhaled, watching the smoke swirl into the cold night.

So that was it.

I had wiped out everything.

The demons that had been lurking under humanity's nose—erased.

I took another slow drag of my cigarette, my golden eyes flickering.

"Then that means I'm done here."

Tomorrow was my art exhibition.

It was time to put the Divine Executioner aside—and honor the man I used to be.

For once, I wasn't going to be the hunter.

I was going to be the artist.

I chuckled, crushing the cigarette under my boot.

Then, with a single Celestial Blink, I vanished into the night—heading back to Oslo.
