The water continued receding...and receding...and receding. The only thing that could possibly explain this was an enemy attack. Why in the middle of my summer break of all times? How annoying. Placing my left leg in front of my other leg and bending it, I placed all my body weight onto it while I stretched my elbow back in a spear throwing pose.
A spear of darkness materialises in my right arm, my mana reserves hasn't been touched this much for the past few months, so this felt really refreshing for the mind. My eyes narrowed as I focus my sight on the vibrations in the water at a distance of half a kilometre. Preparing my aim, I poured an extreme amount of mana into the spear as I reinforce it with [Fate lock], [True death] and [Divine bloody chains].

Those with more battle experience could detect the mana fluctuations in the air, when their eyes met with the sources, they observe a little girl in a purple frilly swimsuit in a strange pose. A mask of absolute seriousness was covering her delicate features as darkness poured out of her palms and form a shiny glimmering black spear. The pole itself radiated enough pressure to make inexperienced adults faint, yet she was channeling such a dense cloud of it around her body in order not to affect the other beach goers.
Followed by the solidification of the dark spears silhouette, there was a faint purple glimmer that appeared twice as if it was enchanted on the spot by 2 professionals simultaneously. It was further followed by golden chains moving out of the girl's palm to wrap around the spear. It wrapped around the shaft of the dark spear, making it much more heavier. What was the point of making it heavier? Other questions also flood their head as they stare at the intimidating spear. Slowly as if being dyed by something invisible, the chains turned to a tone of blood red.
"Black hair with hints of white on the edges and the lower half of her hair... That's the one that defeated the demon lord, Emily von Lilith... " (Random beach goer A)
"That doesn't explain what that monstrous spear does..." (Random beach goer B)
"Uhhh~... I can't stand up properly so I'm going to sleep..." *thud* (Random beach goer C)
"Hey, let's pick him up after watching what happ-" (Random beach goer A)
*BoooOOOOOm*
The girl was in the exact same pose, not a single sweat was poured from the attack. How did she launch the spear without moving?
***
The moment an inch has surfaced, I gripped the spear with all my strength and shot it with all my strength. Due to the effect of [Divine Bloody Chains], the speed was continuously growing even after it left my hand, the recoil sending my body into the original launching position. The sound was enough to match multiple nukes, I had to use [Abyss control] barriers in order to isolate the sound from the outside. It managed to block msot of the shock waves, but the barrier broke with an intense boom, hopefully no one got hurt.
Due to [Diving Bloody Chains], the spear could maintain or even increase its speed while adjusting to hit the target. It instantly vaporised the target on contact and left a landscape of hell, the area was filled with never ending explosions that practically made it a new type of natural environment. The explosions work together to create more explosions, the pressure was so high that it couldn't be compared to the bottom of the sea. It was like a whirlpool of death that pulled victims in to destroy with the pressure of the explosions in the air.
Withstanding and even nullifying the explosions, a collosal mass of muscles rose from the whirlpool of destruction. At once, all the noise had dissipated and the atmosphere became silent. The pressure emanating from the beast led some people to forgot to breathe, so I had to take action. Dispelling my barrier, I used the magic of [Abyss control] to carry my voice and convey my thoughts.
"Who are you? What is your goal?"
Please don't mistake my tone, negotiations were already abandoned after water had receded back. This monster undoubtedly tried to ruin my holiday and maybe tried to kill a few other passerbys. As I continued to probe for more information, I summoned countless quantities of the same spear that I used just now into the air. They all took aim as I continued to seek answers.
"I am Virukrah, one of the 4 heavenly Kings. Note that I'm a demon general said to be comparable to the demon king, the rest simply cannot be compared to my strength. Not even Affetar's [deus ex machina] can bring me down." (Virukrah)
"You're a talkative one aren't you. Even if you're comparable to the demon king, it doesn't mean you are necessarily stronger either. You could probably keep up at your peak for 5 minutes, would it be absurd to ask for more?"
In the first place what was a demon? What was so different? Sure their strength at birth was incredibly different, but in the end they were pretty much the same. Keeping my word, I decided to keep him alive if he survived for more than 5 minutes. Though I doubt he ever could.
"Cocky one aren't you? Well then let's see this Strength you boast of."(Virukrah)
At a glance, I definitely killed him with the first shot. This meant that he could revive infinitely if he came back so easily. Fortunately I've dealt with this many times, I just have to find the source and erase it. [Omni detection] had already picked up signs in a portion of sea space a few hundred kilometers away.
Raining down a couple spears at the currently present Virukrah, [Omni detection] had picked up more mana signatures in that exact sea space. It was safe to say that I had won. Raining the rest of the spears without hesitation, I contained all the explosions within a barrier of [Abyss control]. Even though light was suppose to pass through the barrier and allow us to see what was inside, it was still pitch-black. The damage and destruction was contained before it could reach the centre of the earth, it was subsequently sent into space to get rid of it.
Feeling exhausted, I sat down and joined James to build his sand castle. The other beach goers stared in horror as a patch of the sea was no enveloped in explosions in the distance. It was too far away to see the explosions, but there was an ominous black pillar in the distance, followed by the sounds of countless nuclear explosions. One could only guess the amount of power it required to produce such a phonemena .
Iyori was mentally exhausted after watching the battle, so she went to look for snacks. Fez was staring at Emily from the side while drooling. James continued to build the sand castle while keeping his eyes away from Fez.
