Anton took off his jacket as he looked at the huge body of the demon named Oleg. With its swollen body and long horns, it should be a real challenge to take it down.
"Four eyes, long arms, horns with sharp and likely lethal points..." Observing his enemy, Anton visualized all its disadvantages in close combat, and while thinking about that, he released the seal of his sword, preparing for a possibly bitter battle.
A strong divine energy surged from the depths of his soul and spread around, suppressing the evil aura in his surroundings. At that moment, cracks appeared on the rooftop, an inch wide, as debris flew around before finally crashing into the demon Oleg, causing cold air to spread all around.
As some gazes scanned the top of the building where Anton stood, many people could see the demon's strange body due to its large size. At the same time, Alexander, Rafael, and a few others tensed slightly. Despite knowing that Anton was very strong, facing that thing in front of them was something none of them dared to do.
In an instant, the demon moved, but using his telekinesis, Anton shot out towards the wall leading to the building's entrance.
Boom!
Anton's back sank into the cracks of the wall; he knew that anyone else would have died from this simple impact, but due to the protection he had manipulated through darkness, the damage was greatly reduced, leaving him less injured.
But it wasn't time to celebrate yet because the demon hadn't stayed still; its huge body crashed against Anton without giving him a moment of respite. Anton reacted quickly; his body leaned to the right side, and using a pistol in his left hand loaded with special demon-killing ammunition, he fired three times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three shots hit the demon's body, which thought they were just regular bullets. However, as they sank into the demon's hardened skin, a large amount of blood gushed out of the holes, slowing it down and giving Anton the chance to escape.
Once he managed to escape from that impact, Anton swung his sword, cutting off a large chunk of the demon's flesh. The demon tried to turn around to strike Anton with its hand, but Anton managed to escape. However, when Anton wanted to shoot again, something black shot out at great speed, and before he realized it, the demon's tail had sharply struck his body.
"Argh..." Anton crashed into the iron scaffolding, luckily not getting injured.
When Anton stood up, he spat blood; half of his clothes had been torn apart, leaving only a long-sleeved shirt inside still intact.
Crack!
In this life-or-death battle, Anton wouldn't stay still after receiving a blow of this level, so immediately after, to stop the demon, he fired two more times.
Bang! Bang!
Taking advantage of this moment, Anton stood up and started running towards the demon.
Arghhh!
The demon's scream echoed everywhere. Oleg was furious at how Anton was hurting him but didn't stop once the combat started. Both of them wanted to kill each other at that moment.
But while Oleg was screaming in anger, two blades made of darkness struck his left arm, trying to cut it off. However, since it wasn't enough, it only hung, causing even more damage. Anton, who was close to thrusting his sword, was immediately sent flying again towards the rooftop's edge and was almost about to fall.
Under everyone's gazes, Anton appeared at the edge of the building; the force the demon was exerting on him was so great that even with all his strength, he couldn't hold on much longer. Anton's figure was dragged closer and closer to the precipice; it wasn't a height that would kill him, but if he moved away now, he feared that Oleg would try to escape, and they wouldn't be able to do anything but let him go.
"Anton!"
Rafael immediately sent two snipers to shoot the demon; they might not be of much help, but they could serve Anton from a long distance. Under everyone's gazes, Anton, who had thrust his sword into the ground, stood up, his expression showing the strength he was exerting to accomplish this.
Just as the demon was about to knock Anton down, two shots were heard from a very long distance, making everyone relieved.
Bang! Bang!
Two anti-tank projectiles hit the demon's head; it exploded in a curtain of blood, giving Anton the opportunity to stand up. However, since the ammunition used was not sacred, the demon could heal from this and not die so easily.
Just as the demon was trying to regain vision, a blinding light emerged from Anton's body and collided forcefully with the darkness emanating from Oleg's body.
Boom!
After that collision, Anton lifted his sword and murmured, "50,000 points of faith will suffice to kill him."
At that moment, thanks to Anton's suddenly increased speed, he appeared next to the demon, and without giving it any chance, he thrust his sword into its heart, causing great damage.
"Ahhhhh!"
The demon looked down, staring at Anton, who kept pushing the sword, and with the help of its tail, it pushed Anton away from its waist. Anton, who was starting to feel suffocated, extended his hand with the Hand of God ability activated and gently placed it on the demon's forehead.
"God, pour Your precious blood on those enemies I face—on their mind, soul, and spirit, their conscious and subconscious—that will that keeps this demon alive and its actions. Protect those who deserve a second chance with Your precious blood, and judge them once each has fulfilled their mission in life. Lord, help me return this being to where it belongs."
Anton's last words were chaotic whispers, but he managed to complete the prayer, and the demon, who was gravely injured, was completely crushed by all that pure energy that began to torture its body.
"Ahhhh! I'll kill you! Someday I'll come with my true body and rip your heart out."
The demon's eyes were filled with resentment, but still, Anton, with an authoritative gaze, said nothing, and when this demon turned to ashes, it was then that he fell to one knee.
"I thought I would be crushed by that demon." Anton wiped the blood from his forehead as he caught his breath.
