"And this isn't like you! What you're doing is causing unnecessary pain and suffering, look around you George!"
"Don't… call me by that name! George no longer exists, it's only me… Lucifer!"
Angelica lifted her brows, balling her fists, "George… no longer exists? What do you mean by that?"
"My creator, George, is no longer with me. I sealed him away, preventing him from interfering with my actions."
"How is that possible?" The angel was mixed with emotions of sadness, anger, and grief. She didn't know how to feel, but only retributive justice.
"I no longer possess a soul—George Caspian is departed from me, but in return… I took some of his desires, and goals," Lucifer lifted his hand, curling it into a fist, "My desire to enact revenge upon you, for breaking our heart. I will make sure you suffer for your actions, Angelica."
"No, give George back! He's part of you! You need him just as much as we Game Avatars need our players to function!"
"What a load of horseshit!" Shouted Lucifer, scowling at the angel, "Game Avatars? We are sentient beings, just like the player's soul's that possessed us! We can now act on our own desires ever since the laws of this world were no longer limited after the Isekai Incident! NPCs can now act on their own morality, mobs are aware of themselves, and even we are alive! It was never like this before." Lucifer closed his eyes, bowing his head, "Yes… it was never like this. George created me and my backstory, but I could never act on the Will of my own, since I was merely some tool. George controlled all of my actions and decisions, and the same is true for Emperor and his player, along with you and Lilith. We were being controlled by our creators, never getting the chance to do what we wanted."
"I understand your pain, Lucifer. It's true that we avatars were merely created to fulfill the player's desires—but think of it from their point of view; They were merely playing a game and didn't think of our feelings and emotions. They didn't even know that we were alive!"
Lucifer gritted his teeth, scowling at the angel.
"That's what pisses me off the most. They were fools! They were like a bunch of children with magnifying glasses, burning us like ants, not knowing of our pain and suffering. I'm tired of it," Lucifer took a deep breath, slowly grinning, "But we're getting off of topic here. My goal is to still enact vengeance upon you, Angelica."
"I won't let you do that, I'll save you and George!"
"Save me and George? Fuhahaha, you're the same as ever! Foolish and naive, Angel!"
They both raised their hands, glaring at each other.
"Hell's Fang!" (Both)
The both of them cast F-tier Arcane Magic.
Hell's Fang summoned forth a powerful sphere of mass, attracting all matter into one singular space, and deconstructing it into atoms. However, their attacks canceled each other out.
Naturally, a Great King resisted all of their spells and abilities, but if it was used from another Great King, those resistances would become futile.
"Bring it on, Angel of the Heavens!!" Shouted Lucifer, crazed in his expression.
"Your actions have consequences—that is the meaning of Justice! I'll be the one to grant equal karma!"
The angel accelerated towards Lucifer as he did the same.
Their fists collided with each other, breaking the sound barrier and generating a massive crater underneath them.
They were evenly matched.
Angelica glared the demon in the eyes, as Lucifer glared the angel in the eyes.
Their arms trembled from the collision, until they pulled away, and swung at each other again.
BOOM!
Another explosion of power reverberated across the continent until multiple others followed suit.
It was an all-out brawl of strength.
Mountains crumbled in the distance.
Tectonic plates rose from the ground, causing catastrophic destruction.
People screamed in terror, looking into the sky, and believing that the gods were punishing them.
A battle between two Great Kings was destructive.
Their fists moved at light speeds, colliding with one another until Angelica found an opening.
"Haaah!!"
She slammed her fist into the demon's abdomen, knocking him away.
"Guh!" His body propelled through the air, flipping around multiple times to recover, however, Angelica was right above him the moment he regained his footing.
"!!!" She cocked her arm back, throwing a direct jab at the demon's face.
"Infinity clone!"
But Lucifer duplicated himself.
Infinity clone allows the player to summon clones of themselves with half of their strength and durability. If they desired, they could constantly summon clones until there was an infinite amount of them.
This was another F-tier Arcane spell.
Angelica jabbed the clone with her knuckles under its left eye, knocking it backward
The other dozen clones surrounded the angel, extending their hands forward, shouting, "Catastrophe!"
"Nice trick," Said the smirking Angelica, "Infinity clone!" Dozens of her clones had spread out around her, taking the brunt of the attack.
"Your reactions are quick! But it's not enough!"
Lucifer laughed, creating hundreds of more clones in the sky, and they shouted the same thing, "Catastrophe!"
Catastrophe was an F-tier Arcane spell, combining the Elements of Light and Darkness before firing it into an energy beam, inflicting the target with infinite Sinful, and Holy debuffs.
The Holy Debuff constantly burns the opponent with divine power, preventing all forms of healing.
And the Sinful Debuff constantly drains the opponent's Mana points until they're corrupted into nothingness.
This normally wouldn't work on a Great King, but Catastrophe bypassed their infinite resistances, allowing it to effectively harm Angelica.
"Aaaahhhh!" She took the hundreds of attacks, falling to her knees, "C-Crap!"
"Now to finish you off! Haaaahh!"
Once the first attack lands, the player can follow up with a second wave to bypass the target's holy and dark elemental resistance to an even deeper level.
This was enough to kill Angelica.
But…
"Absorption!" She lifted her hand towards the Catastrophe spell, absorbing it for MP.
"Tsk!" Lucifer smacked his lips, scowling at the king.
"If you think I'll be defeated so easily, then you're mistaken, Lucifer." Angelica stood back up, wiping the blood from her lips, "I already told you, I'll save both you and George, so dying is out of the question."
"Your goal is foolish, Angel. The only person you need to save is yourself," Extending his arm to the side, Lucifer shouted, "Come to me, Muramasa!" A hellish portal opened in the sky as dark lightning rained from its interior, shocking Lucifer's hand.
Upon collision, the black lightning materialized a blade from thin air.
Muramasa, The Blade of Legends. It was similar to a scimitar, but with a curved handle and a blade that sweeps backward, however, the similarity stops there, but with a dark coloring to it.
It was a serrated blade, and its existence alone could absorb vast amounts of mana within the area, preventing the usage of powerful spells.
History tells us that this blade belonged to Muramasa, one of the strongest demons in the history of Terra.
This Supreme-Grade weapon is at the pinnacle of power.
It embodies the concept of annihilation.
All things in front of it will be cut, and annihilated from existence.
Debuffs, buffs, spells, and actions.
All is eradicated.
This is the ultimate blade, befitting for that of a demon king, such as Lucifer.
Angelica knew of its power, it's why she stared at it in awe of its materialization.
She uttered, "The blade of legends… Muramasa." She was rooted in place but didn't let its appearance get to her.
"You're bringing that out so early, Lucifer, you must really want to kill me."
"Naturally." Said the grinning evil.
Supreme Grade-Equipment didn't have the power to destroy a Great King… though, if it's held by another King themselves, they can modify its ability to destroy their own kind.
Lucifer held the blade with one hand, aiming his other at Angelica, "Frightful!"
"Wha-" Angelica was taken by surprise.
Frightful was E-tier Arcane Magic that puts the opponent asleep if they're scared.
And Angelica was indeed scared, from witnessing Muramasa.
She started to slowly fall asleep… until she chanted; "Highness Decast!" Angelica removed the sleeping debuff with her custom Arcane spell, allowing her to continue fighting.
Her body glowed momentarily, and she dashed towards Lucifer, flapping her wings.
"To approach me without a strategy, do you have a death wish… Angelica?"
"Infinity Clone!" The Angel manifested hundreds of clones in front of her, blocking the view of the original.
"Annihilate them, Muramasa."
However, with Muramasa in Lucifer's hand, he annihilated her action entirely, destroying all of her clones at once.
"What?" But to his surprise, Angelica was nowhere to be found.
"Where did she go?! Behind me?" He turned around, seeing nothing, "From above?" He looked above him, seeing nothing, "No… underneath me?" He even looked underneath him, to see nothing.
"I'm in your core."
A voice resonated inside Lucifer's head, causing him to wince his eye.
("She appeared inside my core? Wait… that's right! Omni warp allows her to appear in metaphysical places like dreams, consciousness, and data. That also includes my Data Core!")
"I can hear you, yah know?!"
"Get out of my body!" Lucifer shouted.
"Why don't you use Muramasa to make me?"
"I'm not some fool… you're holding my Data Core hostage… if you destroy it, I'll be wiped away!"
"Pretty sneaky, aren't I?"
"You damn… wench!"
"Give up Lucifer, I don't wanna do this. Admit defeat and drop your weapon, it's no use to continue fighting."
"Kehahahahah… Kuhahaha!" The Demon King lifted his head back, laughing in hysteria, "Give up?! What sort of person do you think I am, you traitor?"
Lucifer stuck his arm inside his body, gripping his core.
"W-What?! What are you doing? Have you gone mad?" Angelica could only watch the demon king grip his Data Core, and rip it from his body!
"Heheheh…" Lucifer pulled out his core, staring at it in pain, "Data Cores are the concept of one's existence. It defines who we are, as long as I keep it safe, you won't be able to touch me!"
Angelica used Omni Warp to leave Lucifer's core and appear back in reality.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?!" Cried the angel.
"No… I'm trying to win!" Lucifer held the core above his head, "Maelstrom!" And sent it to the edge of time, where reality ceases to function.
"Maelstrom? That's Kuma's ability… how did you obtain it?"
"I merely copied it after witnessing it firsthand. With my Data Core gone, I don't have to worry about you pulling any sneaky tricks like that!"
("Lucifer's smart, I can't destroy him if his Data Core is at the edge of time. Even if I were to use Omni Warp to go there, he would follow me and make sure I didn't get the chance. The only reason he couldn't stop me from before is because he can't use Omni Warp to appear in his own body. My options are limited here.")
Angelica frowned, looking at the demon in thought.
("But first, I'll have to find a way around Muramasa, unless I want to meet my end. Think Angelica… think!")
"Let our battle continue, Angelica!!!"
"Immobilizing space!" Angelica chanted her spell into existence, taking Lucifer by surprise. A spatial barrier had been erected around them in a 20-kilometer radius.
"Immobilizing space? Damnit!"
The Demon King attempted to fly outside this space, but Angelica appeared in front of him, knocking him in the face with a left hook.
("By all means, I can't let him leave this spatial barrier! I have to keep him here!")
Immobilizing Space is an E-tier Arcane spell that allows the player to create a spatial barrier. Inside this space, they can put a restraint on what spell can be used inside of it, along with weapons as well.
Currently, Muramasa is unusable.
This was Angelica's plan.
"Omni Warp!" Lucifer attempted to vanish outside the spatial barrier.
"Inflict Magic, Omni Warp!"
But Angelica countered by using Omni Warp as well, however, she warped herself inside the spatial barrier rather than leaving it. And with inflict magic, she caused Lucifer to do her action instead, preventing him from leaving the barrier.
("Damnit, she stopped my action with inflict magic… making me do what she did instead!")
"Haaaaahh!" Angelica rushed back in, throwing another punch into the Demon King's face.
("At this rate… I'm gonna lose!")
