Karl noticed something strange. William's body started twisting slightly but as they fought this became more vivid. His movements were weird.
Seeing he couldn't win this fight. Despair struck him hard and was forced to unleash the 'contract's' power. He decided to borrow power from the devil.
William's body started darkening. His human features became less apparent. His shape distorted slightly.
Dark horns probed out of his head. His legs bent and transformed into hooves. A goat head came into view. His demeanour made a 180 degree turn. What was before Karl couldn't be called human any more.
It gave off a powerful presence.
His hair stood on his back. In power level this entity was way superior than him.
It's figure was no different from that of a goat. Even without being told he immediately knew this was a devil.
The creature's red eyes scanned what was left of the base.
Karl had already distanced himself the moment William transformed. This thing was very powerful for the current him.
'How did William come in contact with such a powerful devil? This has become more tricky than I thought.'
The devil turned around and smiled. It's smile was creepy.
"I have to thank you for this. You forced this idiot do something I have planned for decades now. He successfully initiated the contract but didn't know the price of power that it was his very soul. You know humans are fools and blinded by their desires for fame and power. That's where we devils come in." It said. It floated in the sky looking at the world in distan.
"Yeah devils are just tools humans use anyway to get what they want. What's the big deal there." Karl spoke sarcastically.
It's eyes narrowed slightly at his mockery.
"Bow your head and swear servitude towards me. I will pardon your disrespect then." It said.
Karl could feel the pressure it exerted increase. It was clearly irritated.
"Why would I do that? Your the one who should kneel lowly bastard. What right do you have to tell me that." Karl said coldly. A golden luster flashed in his eyes. There was going to be a fight sooner or later. There was no point for sweet words here.
"So you choose death, huh. Come." It said.
He gripped his sword tightly. An ice armour appeared on his body. He coated the sword in thick miasma.
"Huh."
The creature was guininely surprised by this scene. No human could withstand that corrosive energy as it was even hard for the low devils and Demons.
It was now confused. However much it looked at Karl, he was definitely human.
"Now I will have to spare your life. I need to know the secrets in your body."
It disappeared and before Karl could react, he was punched hard in face. His body shot into a distance. He crashed heavily into the Earth....
Boom!!
The ground shook slightly as if an earthquake had passed.
It followed suit and appeared near the crater he was emblemed in.
It's speed could only be described as terrifying.
He could feel some of his bones cracked but his high regeneration kicked in.
"Your a weakling just give up and come to me obediently."
If not for the Ice armour, his body would have been scrapped.
He shot out of the crater and appeared in the sky. It was time to give out his all.
He closed his eyes. Miasma spread out his body completely engulfing him. Thick lightning cracked around his body.
The sword's divine energy mixed with the miasma forming a dark golden hue.
He opened his golden eyes, his expression resolute. His appearance was like that of a God.
His speed broke the sound barrier loudly. He appeared before the devil who had a creepy grin.
He sent a powerful kick. But was caught effortlessly. It pared no effort at all. But it looked at its hand which was corroding at a faster rate with a frown.
That's all Karl wanted as he just rotated and cleanly chopped off its left hand.
Roaaar!!!!
A beastly roar resounded sending a powerful shockwave that swept everything in its path. Karl was also not spared.
"How dare you!!!" It shouted in a distorted and hoarse voice. It completely went on a rampage.
It disappeared and appeared before Karl who was struggling to stand. It clutched his head with the remaining right hand and thrusted him in the sky.
It followed suit. It appeared way above him and punched downwards with all its strength.
Boom
Karl felt as if he was being hit by a heavy hammer. He descended at an alarming speed but before he could hit the ground, it appeared and kicked the shit out of him.
He shot into a distance and crashed heavily into the Earth leaving behind a long trench.
His armour was shattered into bits. This thing was way above his league.
Even with high regeneration, it couldn't keep up with the way he was being toyed with.
He stood up. The devil was approaching. It had an ugly expression. This was clear humiliation it faced.
It was missing its left hand. This annoyed it greatly though it would regenerate with time.
"You are strong for a human. Its a pity you will have to die here, I would have played around for longer." It's red eyes glowed.
It had a huge body which was completely black. Its goat appearance made it look more intimidating. It stood on its hind legs over 3 meters tall.
He was strangely quiet. As its gaze landed on him, shock was the only thing that could describe what it felt.
Karl's demeanour had completely changed. A golden lotus glowed with great intensity. The divine energy it devoured was being burnt down at a fast rate.
The injuries on his body healed up at an astonishing speed visible to the eyes. His eyes were eerily calm.
The golden sword in his right hand vibrated and hummed slightly.
A bright golden glow was given off from his body. Karl could feel boundless power rushing through his veins. The feeling was very intoxicating.
What he didn't know was that he had entered into God Mode. This state was only reached once one attained Godhood.
But the divine energy stored in his body enabled him accomplish this feat given its purity and the uniqueness of his 'race' which he couldn't understand.
His strength was elevated to high levels. He simply felt invincible.
Recovering from its shock, the devil made up its mind to end his life as soon as possible. His strength was rising at an alarming rate. It felt uncomfortable in his presence.
It decided to go all out now. Its muscles bulked. Bright flames engulfed its body. It looked like a creature straight out of hell.
It's appearance was intimidating. It left hand regenerated in a blink of an eye. It's red eyes glowed intensively never leaving Karl's figure. Now it had completed its transformation.
Seeing this, Karl snapped his fingers and the temperature dropped drastically. Snow started to fall. This power enable him surpass his current limits.
The way he looked at the world had completely changed.
He looked at the huge creature which was blazing in flames. And with that he disappeared.
It didn't disappoint him as it met him Headon. This fight was going to be one of a kind...
