[Alice, where are you?] Colin asked
[I'm in the forest just outside of City B.] Alice replied
[Good, now head back to City A.] Colin ordered
[But-] Alice tried to protest but Colin cut her off
[NOW!!] Colin shouted back and Alice had no choice but to go back to City A.
'Now for this bastard.' Colin said and slowly walked out of the crater he created when he crash landed in the city. His entire body was covered in hellfire, preventing the black mist from even touching his clothes. His sword was gripped tightly in his hand, glowing an intense red while being covered in hellfire. Colin looked around when he exited the crater, the city looked like a barren wasteland, as everything not being protected by the [Holy Territory] was turned to dust and blown away by the wind. He also found that his [Aura Vision] and part of his [Demon Eyes] skill wasn't working, courtesy of the black mist. He looked over at the [Holy Territory] and could see the frightened faces of the priests and saints, as well as the relieved face of Synthia and the curious gazes of the two unfamiliar Angels.
[Synthia, I need you to tell everyone to take a few steps away from the barrier.] Colin said and Synthia shot him a confused look.
[Why? And where's Sera?] Synthia asked
[Sera will be here soon don't worry and I doubt that barrier will survive the shockwaves.] Colin warned, and flew into the sky towards the Corpse Lord. He didn't warn Synthia to sound prideful but out of genuine concern as the barrier was dim and there was a large crack on the top of it where the Corpse Lord attacked.
"You have finally arrived creature of darkness but you are too late, for I, Master Foustus have killed thousands of creatures and have become even more powerful than ever before. So I'll give you a chance, serve me or perish, of course...." Master Foustus continued his third rate villainous speech, but Colin wasn't even listening to him, just giving him a blank stare. As soon as he was done, Colin shot forward and swung his flaming sword towards the monster's head but he quickly blocked with it's bone staff, but he wasn't done. He delivered a powerful flaming kick towards the Corpse Lord's stomach sending him crashing into the ground, giving the city a brand new crater. Suddenly, dozens of hellfire spears hurled towards Master Foustus and he casually created a barrier with the black mist and successfully blocked all of them.
"Bleeh, what?" Master Foustus said as he vomited out a mouthful of putrid black blood and stared in disbelief at the flaming sword sticking out of his abdomen. His bone armour was way more powerful than before, after killing and absorbing the residual energy of hundreds or even thousands of beasts in the forest, so Colin's sword breaking through it so easily left him stunned and that coated him. Colin came crashing down from the sky like a flaming meteor and crashed into the undesd feet first, pinning him deeper in the crater. He then released a torrent of flaming punches onto the undead that sounded like gunshots to his audience, who stared in disbelief at how easily he was dealing with the undead.
"Enough of this farce!!!" Master Foustus said and spikes sprouted out of his armour and Colin quickly jumped off him . He quickly got to his feet and pulled out the sword from his abdomen before throwing it away. Just as he was about to lunge at Colin, he felt lightheaded and disoriented, almost falling to the ground. Although an under can live without their heart and other vital organs, they still needed a brain to process and store information and because of all the punches Colin delivered to the vile creature, it's brain was rattled, leaving disoriented for a few seconds. Not one to miss an opportunity, Colin charged forward and grabbed him by the neck before infusing his claws with hellfire and his aura, making his claws looked like they were enveloped in red flames. He plunged his claws into the monsters chest, and flames exploded from his hand and out the back of the creature, causing smoke to come out of all it's orfices.
The undead opened his mouth and released a large amount of decaying mist from it's mouth, causing Colin to let go. Master Foustus flew into the sky and held his hand in the air, causing all the black mist in the air to gather in his hand in the form of a giant sphere. As the undead gathered all the mist for it's attack, Colin decided to fo the same and created a fireball and poured as much of his aura and demonic energy as he could into it, turning it into a flaming red fireball that gave off an ominous red light in the dark city. Colin then transformed the fireball into a dense spear that he gripped tightly and smiled, and then he waited, waited for his enemy to finish his attack.
"Fool, you should have thrown that attack when you had the chance, not that it would have done anything. Any last words?" Master Foustus asked, as he held a giant black sphere above his head that looked like a giant black sun from below.
"Yes, ashes to ashes." Colin said and both of them launched their attacks at each other.
