[Dark Forest, Demon Continent]
Faced against in a deadlock situation, Hepta immediately covered up herself in a black mist as her armor got set in place on by one in a fast pace
Once the armor was finished assembling, Hepta's aura suddenly rose to a whole new level of madness as the ground shook from his presence and the air filling with killing intent that belongs to her alone
Feeling that pressure even Elijah and Alduin felt suffocated yet surprised at the same time
"Purgatory armor!" Muttered Hepta under her breath
"So... This is the Hepta... One of the four vassals of the Demon king... Ghoul Queen Hepta" muttered Elijah as beads of sweat was trickling down his face and his hair being blown aback by the wind force that he was facing
"Impossible! Did she grew stronger? This level of oppressiveness is way above her last aura 8 months ago... This... This is way to dangerous than I imagined" muttered Alduin as he felt the full brunt of her aura with a shocked look on his face followed by a grimned expression
Cause of the urgency and danger of Hepta, Alduin immediately made a choice as he ordered his microbots to attack her
Just as he attacked, Hepta kicked the tip of her halberd up to her hand and deflected all of Alduin's microbots laser attack in rapid succession of swinging
Also seeing the danger Elijah gently added a pain endurance spell on himself and conjured a Mana bow as he aimed at Hepta, but at that moment his whole body shivered when her eye suddenly glanced at him and made a whole pressure around him to collapse like a dam on his back
"Gufuh!!!"
Due to the pressure her Mana bow broke apart as Elijah was forced to kneel in on he ground, at the same time cause of the pressure, the ground beneath his feet suddenly sunk into a concave of earth
As he tried more to resist the force, the more his body was being crushed by it, soon he suddenly belch out a mouthful of blood before limping into the ground
From afar Alduin saw Elijah situation and immediately understood what happened as he also saw Hepta staring down Elijah
"Kuh! She's attacking someone while also defending against me? Is she underestimating me? Damn it!!!" With a kick Alduin rushed in as his armor and strength get enhanced little by little as he gets closer to her
Stretching out his hand the mana from his plan suddenly condensed as he conjured a war hammer from it and smashed it down towards Hepta in great force
Holding her halberd in a horizontal position above her head, she met the attack head on like it was nothing
With one collision the whole Dark Forest shook before exploding in a circular cave in which blew apart everything
Even the Beastmen soldiers who came with him was blown away while some died due to the explosion, but Alduin couldn't focus any attention to them at this moment since he's fighting a vassal and not an ordinary Demon
With such force the ridge finally broke apart as everything fell from their position as it collapses to the ground below, leaving Elijah who was injured all over to be hanging on a cliff with one hand
Soon some of the Elves woke up and helped him up and judging from their number, he was suddenly shocked only to notice that 20 elven archers were left from his group of 100 Elves
Meanwhile on the ground below Alduin immediately kicked up a fuss as he swung once more his war hammer but this time he swung it upwards
At the same time Hepta grinned and hammered down her halberd causing spark to fly and impact to rose from the ground causing more damage for the forest
But both sides didn't even let up, so with a stride from the both of them, they engaged once more and exchanged blows one after another in a high speed attack causing waves after waves of shockwaves to rise and spread out
As they attacked each other, both sides really differ in expression due to the attacks, Hepta was smiling all over under her heavy purgatory armor while Alduin had a grimned expression on his face even though his wearing his combat armor
Suddenly one of her hand took ahold of Alduin's hammer before applying pressure and breaking it with pure strength, showing even Alduin himself
"Impossible! That was an orichalcum war hammer!!!"
As he complained from that, all he received is a deep punch from the gut that made him arched in pain that he felt suffocated before being blown away towards another direction
But Hepta was still enjoying herself, she wanted even more to fight without even holding back, she had to deal a proper revenge for being beaten up back in Grand kingdom, a revenge for the Beastman Hero and a revenge from the world's self renowned Villain
With a step she immediately moved to Alduin's side while the latter was still in midair, this move in turn shocked the latter by that soundless instant movement
But before he could complain from it another punch came straight to his face causing his body to crashed instantly unto the ground and cause a huge upward air pressured explosion upon landing
Spinning her halberd to her side a smile suddenly crept out of her as she positioned her halberd in a horizontal waist level position
"Mountain Splitter!!!"
With a swing a huge and long straight line exploded on the ground followed by ground shaking and falling debris
When the dust from the explosion cleared, a huge straight cut can be seen running along the dark Forest making it look like the forest was divided into two, and the person lying on the middle of the explosion was Alduin with his body sprawled all over and his mouth from shock
He seemed to have lost consciousness as he received that full brunt attack
This in turn surprised Hepta as she saw that Alduin's armor broke apart just to prevent his body from being cut in half, if her speculations were correct then Alduin must have predicted the focal point of the attack and converted his armor into a huge and hard shield before him which explains his current situation of only losing consciousness
After thinking that a smile crept up from Hepta as she was amazed by his tenacity to survive like a cockroach
But just as she was gonna be drowned from the pleasure of winning over a hero, another power rose from behind her at an incredible speed
When she looked back she suddenly saw a wild red Mana was being spread out from the body of Elijah as the system's kept using all it means just to boost his power

******
Hearing Zavkiel's (Elijah's system) warning, the person himself hesitated to use a 100% concentration as it may strain his brain and if he failed to suppress it he may become crippled or die
But for now he was satisfied with all of this power up from the system, thus he looked straight at Hepta and felt that her pressure was nothing to scoff at this moment
Quickly like natural he conjured a Mana bow and arrow as he aimed it towards Hepta as his aura surged at his arrows like a beast that got out of his cage
Sensing the danger all over that attack, Hepta once more gathered her Mana into one focal point as she reached out towards Elijah
Within a few seconds both of them released their attack at the same time
"Streak Bolt!!!"
"Deaths spear!!!"
As two shots got released, both of it collided at the middle of the distance before exploding into a destructive force that even shook the space in between them
Immediately both of them produced a barrier at each other to protect themselves as the shockwaves suddenly slammed against them
As for the demons, Beastmen and Elves that didn't interrupted the fight of a higher realm, they instead was drawn aback as some fled away as quickly as possible to escape with their lives
But as the shockwaves ended some soldiers once again resumed the fight against each other as they kill the enemy forces
As for both Elijah and Hepta both of them started to move at the same time
As Hepta shit herself off from the air like a cannon ball, Elijah on the other hand straightened his back as he aimed once more
"Stream of arrows!!!"
With that casted Elijah rapidly shot multiple arrows at the expected position of Hepta by using the auto aim of the system follows by future foresight which was aide's by the system too
After all the system would do everything it can to help its host, cause once the host dies, the system disappears too
As for Hepta she kept deflecting few shots while some successfully hitting her, worse is that when a shot hits her, it would be immediately followed up by a bombardment of Mana arrows which was dealing damage to her armor
For some reason she could feel that the Elven Hero was predicting her movements but she had no proof of it, thus with pure stubbornness she made a straight line towards Elijah without stopping since dodging is useless for someone who's opponent can predict her movement
"Orraaa!!!!"
With a slash she faced against Elijah who greeted her with a powered arrow
With that another explosion resounded out, but this time Hepta got shot down by Elijah and continued to deflect his attack as she screeched down across the ground creating a long trail of imprinted streak
As long as she got a foothold even for a second, she immediately shot off again as she threw her halberd at Elijah
Obviously Elijah tilted his head to dodge it, but as soon as the halberd passed him Hepta used some kind of spell to teleport herself to where her halberd is and swung the weapon right at him
Of course Elijah was shocked by that movement but due to the systems various crazy defenses he was only left being uprooted on his spot and didn't die
With a flip Hepta straightened her posture as she loudly struck the ground with her halberd as she called out another magic, causing a huge magic circle to appear
"Gates of Hades!!!"
As she said that a huge Gate materialized behind her and soon creaked open, withing it numerous unknown horrible monsters that didn't belong to this world poured out from the gate
Seeing this a dreadful atmosphere eroded the place as the Beastmen Warrior's, and Elven archers saw that wave of horrible and earie monsters coming out from the gate
Seeing their expression, Hepta broke out into a hysterical laugh as she spread her arms
*********
Not far from them four figures were watching the fight with anticipation on who's going to win, apparently they hold a bet on which will survive in the end
At first they thought that the Hero's with their current strength could defeat the Demon king's vassal, but they didn't expect that the vassal had this kind of trump card in her hands
"As I thought... This generation of demons are way stronger than the last generation of Demon's, I could say the same for the Hero's too since if compared then they are much stronger" said Aileene
"I know that feeling... All I can say is compared to this generation of heroes and Demon's, last generation's decisive war would be like childs play to these guys" said Argos
"Agreed" said Aileene
Hearing that both Fengris and Kaido who wasn't alive during those times felt somewhat cheated of not witnessing it with their own eyes
"Just imagine... What would be the next generation of heroes, Demon's, and possibly villains power level would be?" Asked Aileene as she glanced at Kaido upon mentioning the last title
"We will only know in time" replied Argos
Hearing that even Fengris gave in as he complained of not witnessing such a scene
"If only... I was alive back then" he complained
As for Kaido, he simply stood straight A's he stretched his body, this in turn was noticed by the three others who saw Kaido stretching
"Um... May I ask, what the hell are you doing?" Asks Fengris who was beside him
"Me? Can't you see what I'm doing? I'm stretching!!! Can you please use your brain for a moment?" Retorted Kaido as he gave a could mood
At that Fengris was stunned silence even though among the group, he was the fun guy, while Aileene would be the guide, Argos would be the muscle, and Kaido would be rude guy
"I'm going out" declared Kaido
As soon as they heard that, they immediately understood that he wanted to fight down there
"You guys got your chance to stretch a little three days ago... Now it's my turn"said Kaido as he instantly disappeared infront of them and went above the battle ground
But at that time Hepta was laughing like crazy, Elijah had a grimned expression, Alduin was waking up, the Elven and Beastmen soldiers were getting ready for the possible their last battle
But as soon as Kaido came everything turned silent as the pressure on their shoulders suddenly got heavier to a degree unimaginable to them
Even Hepta who was a ghoul Queen suddenly felt like a reaper suddenly aimed it's weapons at her when she felt the dreadful aura
Very quickly all of them turned and looked around to find the source of the dreadful aura
Soon one of the soldiers shouted as he pointed his fingers above them, then with it they saw Kaido up above them looking down at them as if he's seeing a bunch of ants
As some of them recognized him, they in turn were surprised that he was still alive, but his next words immediately stunned them as if everything they've done was a joke to him
"Your immediately scared just by some pressure? I knew it..." Mocked Kaido
"!!!"
With that as Kaido spreads out his arm with a chin up and a arrogant tone as he mocked them
"In my eyes, all of your here are rubbish"
