Kris charged at the Lord with his great sword. He swinged the sword at the Demon's neck with all his strength and agility.
The Lord slapped the sword away like a fly with his left hand and then proceed to grab Kris by the neck with his right.
"How dear you harm my people?" The Lord inquired with veins popping out of his head. "You beast! Do you seriously believe we must act as wild creatures to pursue justice?!"
[You have returned x1 Great Sword]
[You have extracted x2 Daggers]
With more room to move, with his daggers, Kris sliced off the Demon Lord's left hand which was once clenching his neck tightly.
"That's just a damn excuse to be WEAK, you coward!" Kris exclaimed.
Kris then landed on the ground on threes. His left hand and his two knees.
[Pryo Bullet has been activated]
[You have returned x1 Dagger]
At Kris's finger tip - his left hand - a red magic circle appeared and a gust of a large form of inferno shot out, heading towards the Lord.
The attack left burned air in its tracks. It wasn't like it was already hot.
But once the flame reached a suitable distance away from the Lord, again he slapped it away with minimum effort.
To be honest, the Lord wasn't taking the fight seriously. He just wanted to fight Kris until he found his prepare sense of reasoning. But the Lord didn't know what kind of person Kris was.
Kris was a real selfish prick!
The Lord charged at Kris and instantly covered the gap between him and Kris under 0.19 seconds. He was almost as fast as the speed of light that could make a full lap around the Earth in 0.13 seconds.
A green magic circle engulfed the Lord's arm, which then healed his cut off arm. With his new arm he grabbed Kris by the face and lifted him off the ground and into the air.
"I wonder, how in the damn did you kill six Lords in total?" The Lord inquired while staring into Kris's eyes and through his soul.
Kris then began to retaliate. He lifted his dagger into the air and pulled it down ready to strike the Lord another time.
But the Lord was obviously faster than Kris. The System even confirmed it.
Instantly, he flung down Kris to the ground with full force. The ground beneath them crumbled and created a mini crater.
"WHEN YOU'RE SO DAMNING WEAK!!"
[-19,000 HP]
The Lord lift up Kris once again and slammed him in the ground another time, this time creating a even bigger crater.
[-10,590 HP]
[HP: 19,310/31,800]
"It's because you're way stronger than those other Demons," said Kirs in a muffled voice.
With his dagger, he sliced of the Lord's hand again.
He then stood on his hands and draw back his feet. In a quick motion, he pushed out his legs and striked the Demon square in the jaw, making him look upwards.
With the distraction, Kris hurriedly got up and delivered continuous strikes to the Demon's torso.
Kris abruptly paused, "Something's off-"
"Hahahahaha!! Chilly." The Lord giggled in amusement. "You think I'll make you get away with hurting my people?"
"(Why isn't the effect of Eden working on this thing? And doesn't it have blood?!)" Kris inquired internally.
Kris had chopped off the Lord's left hand twice. And the two times he did, the Lord hand didn't even gust out blood. Even the continuous scars on his body didn't left a stain of red liquid. The wounds only showed a dark mist and then healed back with a green aura.
"You might be wondering why your weapon's effect aren't worth," said the Demon with a cheeky smirk. "That is because the inside of my body is radiating with heat from an object that is in my body."
"I house no organs nor vitals. I'm mostly an empty sheel you can say," said the Lord as he began to approach Kris from a distance. "The only thing that keeps me alive is the Abyss Crystal implanted in my chest. It provides my body with Black Essence, that jeeps me alive and almost immortal."
Kris inquired while walking towards his aggressor. "So what you're telling me is that I can't really hurt you?"
"(Why does everything have to do with the color black down here. Not to be racist or.. colorist. I think that is a word.)"
"Yes," answered the Lord.
Kris then interjected. "Lie!"
"What?" The Demon inquired.
Kris looked forward and pointed his finger at the Lord's chest.
"You aren't truly immortal If I can technically still kill you," said Kris as he lowered his hand. "All I have to do is destroy that so-called crystal inside your chest.
[Pryo Bullet has been activated]
The ice beneath the civilization began to melt and the snow disappeared.
A red magic circle appeared infront of Kris's finger tip, and once again it shot out a giant condensated ember.
But like before, the Lord just slapped it away. It was the third time he did so.
If the Lord was using the full extent of his power, Kris would have died a million times over.
"That is if you even can," said the Lord in a low and demonic voice.
Kris charged at the Demon Lord this time with his great sword.
[You have extracted x1 Great Sword]
With two hands stationed on the handle, he lifted the blade in the sky and plummet it to the ground, shaking the earth around him.
The Lord simply jumped back and dodged the attack in the result?
Kris said, "I do genuinely believe you are yhe strongest Lord in this realm. Butt that is everything that makes you.. different."
"Different?" The Lord inquired with a concerned expression.
"I'm not giving you a compliment, jackass," said Kris as he swinged his sword in a crescent from.
He had finally reached a suitable distance from the Lord.
An attack finally landed. It slashed the Lord's chest.
"Huh!?" Kris inquired in surprise.
But that all to it.
The blade of his thick and giant great sword only made a slight and tiny scratch in the Lord's skin.
"I forgot to tell you..."
The Lord raised his hand up high. With great strength, speed and accuracy, he slapped Kris across the face and sent him flying backwards.
The water began to evaporate because of the extremely hot temperature in this world.
".. that my flesh is refined around my chest. The farther away my body parts are from the Abyss Crystal, the weaker they are.
[-9,750 HP]
[HP: 9,560/31,800]
Suddenly a wave of of black flames came flood towards the Lord like an once empty river.
"Why would you tell me all that shit? You damn dunce!!" Kris exclaimed in irritation.
[False Black Flames has been activated]
He charged at the Lord for the final time.
"Why?" The Lord inquired with a low voice and then he suddenly raised it. "It because you're weak, that's why fool!"
The black flames then made contact with Lord's skin. The cursed flames engulfed the Lord's body and then vanished. He didn't feel any pain, yet he was concerned.
"What was that?!" The Lord asked in a panic.
Kris then paused in his tracks.
"Jeez. Don't you know the history of your own world?" Kris inquired. "How am I supposed to know. That's what you get for yapping!"
[You have returned x1 Great Sword]
[You have extracted x1 Dagger]
[Sonic Acceleration has been activated]
Kris was now standing right in front of the Lord. A yellow lightning tracked behind, emitting yellow light. He held Efriet in his left hand ready to strike down his enemy.
"You fool! You won't be able to damage me!" The Lord exclaimed.
[Aura has been activated]
[Weapon Aura has been activated]
[Synergy Effect: Blacksmith's Touch]:

"That's what you think."
Kris's blade was engulfed in blue aura and then entirely covered with a golden one. The golden aura encompassed the weapon while the blue aura was the outline.
Kris pulled back his hand and abruptly Efriet began to blaze in an inferno.
Pulling his hand downwards, he strikes the Lord across his chest.
Kris screamed as he did so.
"AAARRGGGHH!"
The Lord inquired as always. "Huh?"
The blade had sliced right through the Lord's chest. A black crystal was shown and it was chopped in half. The dark mist inside his body then began to turn to ember as if they were leaves.
[Critical Strike!]
[-50,000 HP]
[HP: 49,990/99,990]
[HP: 49,000/99,990]
[HP: 48,450/99,990]
"You.. you.. YOU BASTARD!" The Lord exclaimed in anger and grief. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS??!!!!"
The enraged Lord then summoned a katana that was covered in a saya (a sheath/case). He effortlessly took outbhis katana smoothly and chopped Kris in half.
[You have died!]
[...]
The Lord dropped to his knees. Red tears began to flow like rivers but his sorrow was like a ocean. He was filled with despair and self hatred.
"Why? Why was I unable to protect them." The Lord weep. "I failed.. my people."
"AHHHHHH..!!!!!"
Outside the civilization stood Kris. He had respawned after his death. The teen looked down upon the fallen civilization, the fallen people, the fallen lord. The Demon was wailing as if he was the only one with sadness.
That was what Kris thought. Why should he be sad when I'm even sadier?
With a sigh,he said, "*Sigh* I didn't kill them because of no reason, or because they were lesser than me, nor because they were weaker than me."
Kris turned around and began to walk away.
"It's because they are losers."

Kris then collapsed to the ground. Tears started to fall from from underneath his helmet. He was crying?
"They all made excuses to be weak. But not me."
He was in grief for some reason. Overwhelming grief. Was it because his ideology has clashed and maybe defeated? Or because he knew what he was doing was wrong?
It was the latter.
