"You still refuse to give up?" I inquired, as the mental tug of war continued.
"I admit, you are strong...but I will not allow myself to cease to exist so easily!" Declared Diablo in response.
"It's not 'easily' at all, who knows how many days this has been going on for?" Pointed out Lazarus, "I was overwhelmed in a matter of seconds, I didn't even think it was possible for anyone to push Kuro so far."
"His method is different to yours, Lazarus. You tried to overwhelm me by drowning me in despair, but you failed because I had experienced far worse despair than you had. Diablo's method is different though, he's trying to force my consciousness out of the way with pure mental willpower and then take its place, simple as that," I explained.
"Of course my method is more effective than a Vampire's, after all, taking over a host body is second-nature to Demons!" Said Diablo, continuing to push against my consciousness.
