[Border Town]
As Belial observe the current state of Kaido, he somehow noticed a tinge of demonic energy oozing out of his body
"I see... . . You yourself is a lost cause already" he commented
As if those words were the trigger Kaido abruptly glanced at Belial with bloodshot eyes
"And you... . . Are in the way" he replied
Putting some force into his legs, Kaido launched himself forward as he ran up straight to Belial's location
Putting his guard up Belial moved fluently to dodge and parry every rash attacks from Kaido himself
Upon realizing this Kaido used the claws behind his back to move simultaneously like his own arms and proceeded to launch various attacks at the Archdemon causing destruction everywhere they fight
Enlarging the right claw from his back he smashed it hard at Belial's current location causing a deep in dent to the earth itself
Blocking that attack Belial blasted Kaido away using black flames while the latter countered it with bright orange red flames
Of course the result is obvious as both flames have different temperature and amount of mass, the black flames easily devoured Kaido's flames causing the person himself to be blasted away and be sent crashing to a destroyed wall near outside the town's borders
"Grr!"
Gritting his teeth Kaido immediately stood up in retaliation only to be brought down again as Belial bombarded him with Dark Anima and multiple small scale Death Rain
Even though Kaido raises up earth barrier and wind barrier to block the attack, it was still useless in front of this abusive bombardment causing him to receive so much damage to his body
Later on he realized that his body wasn't recovering fast enough unlike the previous fight
"Damn it! My wounds... . . Wait!" He abruptly said as he touched his wound and found a foreign element that is responsible for the delayed healing
"Demonic energy!!!"
Due to demonic energy from Belial's attacks, all the wounds that was inflicted upon him was rendering his regeneration abilities causing him to bleed more than necessary
If this continues he would lose this fight in the long term as it goes on
In that slight moment his layer by later of barrier was broke through by Belial's attack making him receive all the attacks head on
With an explosion Belial momentarily stops his attacks and observed the situation
When the smoke cleared Kaido could be seen lying on the floor with his body riddled with holes and blood gushing out from him
From afar Hibiki saw Kaido's situation which further enhances his hatred for the demons and non-human species
"YOU!!!!!!!"
with a roar Hibiki released his limit break causing a huge surge of Mana in the surroundings
With this change he kicked the ground to get close at the Archdemon and bring Justice for the oppressed
"I'll make you pay!!!!"
With a swing Hibiki brought down a huge attack the caused destruction to a certain degree that is imaginable for a light element
"Heaven's Smite!!!"
As if it crackled the cloud split into half and brought down a blinding Ray straight at the Archdemon
Due to this the ground was truly shaken causing the earth itself to move a little as a giant hole appeared on the ground
From afar the citizens and the co. Were dumbfounded to see this kind of destructive power that even made both Alda and Lily felt the dread of danger from this attack
Due to the sudden Mana influx from the attack, it caught Anna's attention that made her regain a slight of her consciousness and witness a destructive event
"Hero huh!?!... . . Truly a dangerous existence... . . No wonder Kaido-sama is wary of such hero... . . Their growth potential are limitless" she mutters before being knocked out again
Back to the frontlines when Hibiki saw that Belial has encased himself with dark demonic energy all over his body to serve as his barrier, he felt bitter from this and decided to attack him head on
With a mad dash Hibiki shot down straight at Belial with his holy sword
With a swing and two he brought many attacks that can be considered top class in case of Swordmanship but for Belial himself who was tasked at the second strongest than the Demon king himself, this was nothing but a mere human swinging his sword mindlessly
One attack
Two attack
Three attack
------------------------
At the point where their attack and collision amounted to 30 attacks or 30 collisions Hibiki didn't even fret as he sent out multiple attacks straight at Belial and never letting up
"Sword slash!!!"
"Triple slash!!!"
"Swords might!!!"
"Shockwave!!!"
"Holy Judgement!!!"
"Heaven's Smite!!!"
With series of attacks Belial switches his movements to parry, dodge, and counter as his prior motives. Sometimes he even included by countering with his own set of skills while maneuvering his flight to make unpredictable flight movements
With a flap Belial shot straight to the sky which the hero abruptly took this as an naive move
With a push he shot himself upwards to strike down the Demon who until now still dominate the sky
"Such naive way of thinking! Don't think that you can escape from me!!!" Shouted Hibiki as he sent out his attack
"Sword strike!!!"
With a thrust Hibiki sent out a laser type attack straight at Belial himself
From under his gaze Belial himself was smiling from the remark that Hibiki gave out
"Naive? I agree... . . Humans are naive... . . To think that they would mistake this movement as fleeing... . . Truly naive" he muttered as he gave out an evil smile
"Return to dust... . . Genesis!!!"
As if retribution was brought down by an evil God a purple Ray of light shot down completely devouring Hibiki's attack in one go
"What!?!"
Noticing this Hibiki raises up his defense and Strengthen his barrier to a maximum degree that could withstand high spec explosive in the modern world, but in contrast to his expectation this wasn't enough as the attack from Belail completely devoured him and caused a huge explosion to occur that even caused distress in space and create distortion
On the receiving end Alda used his strongest attack to counter Belial's unimaginable attack head on with an expectation of protecting the citizens and his unconscious teammates
"Sword of light wall barrier!!!"
As he did this Lily snuggled up close to the citizens together with the pair of mother and child that somehow managed to arrive on time in their location, as she did this she prayed to her god Rabdul the certain God who assisted in the summoning of Hibiki and the most worshipped god of the empire
"God thee please protect thy people" she prayed earnestly
As the light disappeared only a huge crater could be seen from the former location of the town and in the middle of it lay Hibiki who is sprawled open as his armor broke apart and his body severed with injuries
"Im... . . Possible" he said as he slowly lost his consciousness
When he muttered this a silhouette slowly descents from the sky and landed beside Hibiki as it stares down on the hero who is sprawled out on the floor
"Hero... . . Truly with time you would be able to kill the demon Lord... . . But for now I'm thinking of disposing you before you could become even more of an obstacle"
As Belial said this he raises his left wing and punctured the stomach of the hero causing the latter to spew out blood but only to a minimal degree
"Only few blood than I expected... . . Is it because of his blessing as a hero than makes him a lot resistant to life threatening attacks? Truly the gods are excessive in their ways to ensure that the hero would survive... . . Such cheat ability" he commented
After that he glanced at the sudden explosion from afar that revealed Kaido in his disheveled severely wounded state glaring back at him
"On the other hand... . . This guy even though he has a blessing, I couldn't help but to feel as if his blessing in as empty shell... . . Are the gods angry at this certain person? Or perhaps they have other things in mind for this individual?" He pondered for a bit
As he thought this Kaido glared back at him and smiled at him to show off a brave front
"Truly different from your everyday hero" added Belial
As he muttered that Kaido spoke up.in a loud voice
"Oi! Demon! I'm still alive! Let's finish this... . . I'll have you experience what it feels like if I pluck out those wings of yours" said Kaido with a devilish smile
In return to that Belial also smile evilly at Kaido as he replied
"And I'll have you experience the pain of losing your limbs until you suffer and die" he said with an evil expression
Now in this fight only two silhouettes are left standing the villain and the Archdemon themselves
