Angelica socked Lucifer in the face, sending him hurdling towards the ground at light speeds. He tossed and turned, unable to tell which way was up and down. His body collided with the crater below, sinking into the terrain as blood splurged from his mouth.
"Kuhack!!"
His body felt staggered, unable to move a muscle.
"Blackhole!"
Angelica chanted from above, summoning a powerful Blackhole in front of Lucifer's body.
"Damnit!!" The Demon King roared, feeling his body being sucked into the miniature singularity.
("This spell is dangerous! It creates a miniature Blackhole that absorbs all light and mass. The gravitational pull of this attack is strong enough to even absorb spells that are faster than light. It's a B-tier Arcane Spell, I'll be sucked in if I don't do something quick!")
"Augment Magic!" Angelica yelled.
("What? She's using augment magic to amplify the spell to its maximum potential! Shit… I'm being sucked in—!")
Lucifer's feet left the ground as he was pulled into the Blackhole, unable to escape its confines.
"Fuck!!"
"It's over Lucifer, you lose." Angelica watched as the Demon King was being crushed by the miniature singularity, slowly fading away into dust, "I didn't want it to end like this."
"Gaaahhh!! Hrrgghhhh…" Lucifer resisted with all his might, until he lifted his hand, bellowing, "Primeval Red!"
"W-What?!?" Angelica widened her eyes, lifting up her arms to cross-guard the attack.
A massive sphere of destruction was launched from the Demon King's hands, engulfing Angelica and propelling her through the sky.
"Fuhahahaha!" The Blackhole shattered from the effects of Primeval Red, saving Lucifer from annihilation, "Now, Spatial Warp!" Taking advantage of Angelica's stalemate with Primeval Red, the Great King would teleport into the sky, hovering directly above her, "Hell Blaze!"
"Ghhh… haaaaahh!" Angelica struggled with the attack, only to look above her to see a wave of crimson flames fall upon her, "This isn't good!"
Hell Blaze was a B-tier Arcane spell that summons hellfire to incinerate enemies down to their Data Core, wiping them away entirely.
If hit, Angelica would surely be reduced to nothingness, but it was hard to counter, considering her struggle with Primeval Red.
"Primeval… Blue!"
But all of a sudden, the angel used her primeval attack, counteracting Lucifer's own.
An azure light illuminated Angelica's body, pushing away the Primeval Red, and canceling it out.
"Absolute Null!" Angelica hastily turned around, extending her hand to the sky, and destroying the hellfire above her at the last second, dismantling it entirely.
("Primeval Blue. It's the opposite of red, embodying the concept of life, rather than death. If it touches someone, it causes their senses to go out of control, slowing their perception of time. Infinite life is constantly being produced inside their body, not allowing their mind to keep up. Molecules are infinitely expanding, along with knowledge, magic, memories, and emotions, until the target eventually dies from such a heavy intake. It's just as dangerous as Primeval Red.")
Lucifer glanced down at the angel, holding Muramasa steady in his hand.
("Primeval Red. It's the opposite of blue, embodying the concept of death, rather than life. All phenomena in front of it, from molecules, information, the laws of physics, and reality as a whole, become nothingness and are turned into void. From The Red Primordial being the concept of death, it's only logical that it brings death to all. It's dangerous to take head-on, so I have to keep my distance in this fight.")
They both had their own internal monologue, questioning how they would win this fight.
It seemed hopeless on both sides, but in reality, they were evenly matched.
"Temporal Ring."
A ring is located on the right-hand side of Angelica's index finger. Temporal Ring reduces the time it takes Angelica to move to zero. All of her actions are done in an instant, and her reactions are the same. Distance between herself and a target is reduced to nothing when this ring is activated, making the game unable to process it.
Angelica developed its own term for the effect called "True instance". When used she moves fast enough to break the laws of the game world, and for those moments of movement, she is unaffected by them.
Lucifer didn't know of this level-infinity item of hers, but now… he was witnessing its effects.
Like an arrow, Angelica shoots forward and punches Lucifer's gut.
One strike.
Two strikes.
Hundred strikes.
Lucifer was being pummeled by attacks he couldn't perceive.
Each attack slammed into his gut, decreasing his HP.
His body didn't register the strikes until Angelica finished with a roundhouse kick into his head, knocking him sideways.
"What the-?"
The demon king blinked in confusion until the pain finally registered with him.
"Ngaaahhhh!" He bellowed in pain, seeing his infinite HP be reduced halfway, "When did she… hit me?!"
"Temporal Earring."
"She's using… her level-infinity items?!" Lucifer finally caught up with her actions, recovering himself in midair and swinging Muramasa forward, "Huaaaahhh!!"
"It's too late for that!"
The Angel appeared in front of him, grabbing his face and launching forward like a rocket.
They accelerated through the sky, until she slammed his body into a mountain, reducing more of his Life points.
"Geeouck!" He spat out blood, dropping Muramasa from his hand, "But how? Muramasa should've… destroyed your actions…"
"I can see your fate, Lucifer. It's clear as day."
Temporal earring. This earring allows Angelica to see the fate of a target, along with their next actions. This is based on not only their future, but it also predicts their movements for certainty.
It also has a secondary effect, which allows Angelica to send her attacks in the past, and counter into the future.
Thus she can not only harm the opponent at random but prevent an attack from taking place. Both of which go as far as a minute.
That's why Muramasa failed.
"Divination Spear—"
Absorbing an infinite mass, her holy spear had been formed. Its divinity and sheer, condensed power existed on a whole other level than anything that existed within the realm of Supreme-Grade Equipment.
An average player would melt and evaporate by merely having it pointed in their direction. All unholy creatures would have trouble sustaining their consciousness while in its vicinity. Waves of holy rage swept across the ruined landscape like a hurricane.
This spear was the pinnacle of power, that Muramasa should fear.
("Angelica's Supreme-Grade Weapon, the Divination Spear.")
A spear that holds a certain law to it.
The spear itself can sever space, opening pathways to different locations, and even different dimensions if need be. In a similar manner it can be used to completely ignore defenses, and when swung acts as a "Ghost swing" which allows her to very briefly instantaneously move with her swing.
This leaves no reaction time between her attacks. The spear itself has a specific condition, that when it is thrown it will surpass the law of causality, fate, and spacetime to reach the intended target.
("If I'm hit by it… I'm done for. It'll reach across the universe and pierce my Data Core, leaving me to die.")
The spearhead also contains a special property to nullify mana, and to generate troublesome explosions when it clashes with another weapon to deal more damage directly to it.
Lucifer was outmatched.
Though… he wasn't using his full power as well.
The demon king grinned, clenching his fists as he was stuck inside the crater of the mountain, shouting, "War God, Ares!" The ring on the left side of his middle finger had shone, emanating a dark purple light that engulfed his body.
Angelica widened her eyes and felt her body being pushed away from the surge of power gathering around the demon king.
"Ghh… this power!" She stood in place, realizing she could no longer see his fate, "War God, Ares. It must be one of Lucifer's level-infinity items."
The light around Lucifer had eventually manifested into a darkish-purple aura, flowing around his body.
He released a deep breath, calling Muramasa back to his hand.
"Now… the real fight begins, angel."
"Bring it on!"
In unison, they both released their passive auras that derived from their Arcane Class.
{Madness Aura I: Releasing an aura from the body sends enemies into a panic, causing them to dread in terror, and drive them mad.
Corrosion Aura I: Corrodes the enemy into data particles, preventing them from ever getting close to the player.
Quantum Field I: Creates a quantum field around the player, and enemy, which breaks apart their subatomic bondage down to their data core, transmuting it into mana points they could absorb.}
There are higher levels to these passive auras; ranging from the Roman numeral I to the Roman numeral VII.
With their auras clashing, Angelica chucked her spear, surpassing the law of causality.
Moving beyond linear time, her attack would hit Lucifer before the action had happened, and yet… he countered!
Swinging Muramasa, Lucifer clashed with her weapon, holding it at a stalemate.
"Hmpf!" He put more power into his swing, deflecting the Divination Spear and charging at the angel.
"He deflected it?!" Angelica widened her eyes, noticing Lucifer's increase in speed, "Darn-!"
It was too late.
Before Angelica could do anything, he slashed at her chest, depleting most of her HP.
She clenched her teeth, watching him slash again, but she dodged to the side.
"Hnnn!" Angelica summoned her weapon back in her hand, swinging at the Demon King.
"10,000 Dreadful Cuts!" Lucifer would stance himself, similar to Battojutsu, holding his blade at his side.
He charged forward and clashed with Angelica.
Their weapons met as they crossed each other's path, but Angelica was outmatched.
As if it was delayed, cuts would suddenly mark her body from head to toe, depleting her HP down to zero.
She wobbled back and forth from each cut slicing her apart, until there was nothing left.
Lucifer stood behind her, closing his eyes, "It's over, Angelica, I won this battle."
Her eyes went lifeless as she fell to the ground.
"10,000 Dreadful Cuts targets not only the body, but the soul, and the Data Core with a potent disease that wipes away all life. Even if you were to come back alive, the disease would remain, and kill you again. Conceptually restoring your body won't matter, your fate is sealed."
Angelica dropped her spear, colliding with the terrain below.
"Our battle was fun, but you couldn't keep up with me."
The Demon King slowly levitated towards the ground, standing on the ruined landscape, and closing his eyes.
"My goal is fulfilled."
VRMMMMM—!
"What?!" The Demon King turned around, witnessing a blue light, "Shit!!"
It was… Primeval Blue!
It crashed into his body, propelling him through the air.
He couldn't defend against it.
It was too late.
"Ngyaaahhhh!!"
His body was being filled with infinite knowledge, Infinite expansion of life, and endless acceleration of his molecules.
He felt himself dismantling from the overwhelming intake of life itself.
"You thought… I would die so easily?"
The cuts on her body had been healed.
"Impossible, impossible!! Damnit, Damnit all to hell! Aghhhhhhh!!!"
He yelled in pain, feeling the Primeval blue elevate him towards the sky, reaching the clouds… and leaving the Primordial Planet, Terra.
The conceptual attack exited their solar system, reaching the vast cosmos.
KABOOM!
A large blue explosion echoed across space, annihilating dozens of solar systems in its way.
It was loud enough to reach Terra at a speed far exceeding light.
Angelica stood there, huffing.
Her HP was slowly regenerating itself from her spells, allowing her to reach her full potential again.
"That was… a close one." The angel was on her hands and knees, wincing her eyes, "If I didn't revive myself with Primeval Blue at the last second, I was certain to die."
She slowly stood back up from the ground, placing her hand against her chest, "I need to heal myself, luckily I still have some MP left."
Each Great King possessed limitless HP and MP, causing them to never tire in battle.
The only way for their HP and MP to decrease is when they're fighting against one another.
Otherwise, it was impossible to lower it.
"Huh? What's that?!" Angelica turned her attention to the sky, seeing a large fiery object descend toward the planet, "Are you kidding me? He survived that?"
It was Lucifer.
He was alive.
