Both Colin and Shuma clashed furiously in the air, using their wings to do complicated maneuvers as they clashed. Shuma was very experienced with a sword, as even before she turned into an undead, she trained with one and after she retained all that knowledge when she was turned. Infact, even when she was a thrall, she instinctively used weapons to kill other thralls, causing her to level up faster than others. This made it hard for Colin to gain an upper hand as he was not as experienced with a sword as her, and he had some close calls during the fight. There was also something about the sword that gave him an eerie feeling. Colin created six flaming spheres that floated around him and he continuously channelled his demonic energy into it causing them to become a dark red. Shuma noticed them of course and coated her blade in black miasma. Colin launched one of the spheres at her and Shuma sliced at it with her blade, but before both could make contact, the sphere exploded.
"A weak attack like that cannot harm me." Shuma said as her unscathed form was revealed as the smoke cleared
"It wasn't meant to." Colin replied and as she wondered what he meant, she heard a loud explosion and felt herself hurtling towards Colin and he swung his blade covered in hellfire towards her neck, digging into her skin. Colin's eyes suddenly widened as he felt the blade hit something hard about half inch into her neck and quickly backed away. Looking closely at where his blade dug into her skin, Colin could see pale white bone and he wondered what the hell was going on.
"Surprised, even I was when Vergil first taught me how to do this." Shuma said and she started to rip off the skin around her neck, revealing pure white bone underneath
'How is that even possible? It must be because she is an undead, she doesn't need to breath like we do, or eat or anything to stay alive. She could simply go crazy with her own body, growing bones all and covering her vital spots with [Bone Arnaments].' Colin thought while gritting his teeth, of she has made her entire body like that, then his task is going to be exponentially harder.

A few dozen meters away, Lily was staring at Vergil, as he just stood their unmoving. She has seen many monsters, and all of them were weird and extremely powerful due to their undead nature, which removed certain limitations that the living had. Which was why she wasn't eager to attack and wanted to wait until he attacked first.
"Are you afraid of me? Don't worry, it's okay to be scared, that Daimoni certainly was." Vergil taunted, but Lily simply smirked
"Scared, why would I be scared of someone who can only defeat tier 3 creatures. Why else would you be cooperating with that other Corpse Lord, because you know that you are nothing more than a weak, insignificant pest." Lily said with a smile and Vergil was instantly enraged. She thought it was weird for an undead to display this much emotion, but she figured it was just residual humanity left behind, since it hadn't been long since these undeads were created.
"Fine then, I'll attack first." Vergil said and his entire body was surrounded by black mist and Lily could here loud creaking and tearing sounds. She could see his body bulging getting bigger and bigger, and she started to wonder how he was gaining muscle mass this fast, but she soon realized that was not the case. She could see his skin tearing off his body like it was clothing too small for his size, before falling to the ground.
'No way.' Lily thought in surprise as she looked at the creature Infront her. Vergil transformed from a two meters tall skinny and frail looking undead to three meters tall bone giant. His skin has fallen to the ground leaving only white bone all over. His eyes were still two pools of darkness but had a red glow in the center. He had three long horns on either side of his head and in the middle, with spikes going down his spine and on knees. He had a long spiny tail made of vertebrae and he retained his two bony wings.
"Are you scared now?" Vergil said in a deep voice, showing off his tusk like fangs.
"I've seen scarier." Lily said nonchalantly and Vergil was instantly pissed. He created two dark orbs made of [Decay Affinity] and threw them towards Lily and she simply closed her wings and allowed herself to fall to the ground. Vergil quickly followed behind her, flapping his wings furiously and Lily started flapping her wings, flying between the trees. Vergil followed after her, not even bothering to dodge the trees and simply flied through them. He smiled gleefully as he caught up to her, but suddenly she disappeared.
"Cancelling Wave." Lily said as she pressed the tip of her staff against Vergil's back, causing a wave of energy to enter Vergil's body.
