Chapter 18: Hiko VS Azura
In a manner of second, Azura disappeared before Hiko could do any damage to her.
*BOOOM*
Hiko made contact with the ground instead as Smoke clouded the area before it quickly disappeared by Hiko swiftly moving her wings making the smoke cleared.
The impact had completely destroyed the concrete ground, it sent debris, concrete and dirt flying upwards. Showcasing Hiko's physical power and strength just from the impact.
[-0 HP]
Hiko didn't take any damage from it, it would be strange for her to take damage considering her high defense, which was 87K to be exact.
Azura was a few meters in front of Hiko, her eyes were calm and calculative seemingly able to see through all the secret Hiko had in the very deep of her soul.
The debris and dirt fell back on the ground. Hiko stood upright with her wings spreading at the height of a adult human which was ridiculous to look at on a child body but none of them seem to care about it.

She hadn't seen such a ridiculous skill that reduce all kind of damage to a mere one. Even the Mana Point cost were ridiculous. How could this demon king receive such a heaven defying skill!?
And it's not even a Innate Skill nor a racial skill. This demon king had obtained this skill purely out of their own effort. She couldn't find any other explanation other this. There was even a owner tag on it. It further confirm her suspicious that this new demon king had obtained this skill purely out of their own effort.
Hiko was staring at her crimson red eyes with her childish and carefree red gazes filled with excitement. Azura stood her ground and stare at Hiko coldly and calmly.
Azura gazes glow a faint red crimson as a blue window screen appeared before her eyes.
Azura had activated her skill [Observation], this was a very common skill within the D Grade creature as it was quite easy to learn.

Azura form tremble slightly, her eyes widen and her brow raised, her heart was beating slightly faster then normal, she quickly composed herself and breath normally to calm herself down.
For the first time in her life she felt slightly fearful and the uneasiness in her heart were uncomfortable. Who could have thought that this new demon king was only one years old.
She couldn't imagine how much more powerful this new demon king could become in the future. And she's isn't going to let such a Calamity walk freely.
She made her decision. she can't let this demon king escape from her sight. She has to kill Hiko right here and right now, before she become stronger in the future. even if it has her surname Yokai. In her mind, it doesn't matter. Once a demon always a demon. Even if they have a angelic wings similar to the angel race.
*Swooosh*
Azura quickly and swiftly stepped aside. Blade of purple flame passed near her skin, she could feel the heat radiating from it as it passed by her.
*BOOOM*
The blade of purple flame had hit the nearby building behind her. It exploded in a giant explosion, causing the surrounding and the building to burn and melt. The debris and ruins were scattered all over the place.
If Azura was a second late she would have been blasted and sent flying away. Although it wouldn't damage her but something told her that this purple flame wasn't any ordinary flame.
And she had guessed correctly.

MP Cost: 1,000,000 MP ]
She had already expected this. She had fought many demon king including the 5th, 6th and 7th demon king. Although she wasn't successful in killing the 7th demon king, she had atleast injured it and made its defense vulnerable to any grade S creature.
*Swoosh* *Swish*
Multiple purple flame shot out, hurling towards her and interrupting her thought process.
Azura dodge them easily with swift movement, in her eyes the purple flame were quite slow, it's isn't a problem for her to dodge all of it without taking a single damage.
'Defeating this demon king is almost impossible. Her Regeneration and Skill are heaven defying. Even her weakest skill could harm me.' She spoke in her thought.
She doesn't know how to defeat this demon king, of course she already tried the reversing talisman but considering that this demon king is aware of the talisman magical property, it be impossible to try it again.
It take 10 second to activate the talisman it may seem fast at first but in a fight its extremely slow. Unless you caught them off guard then it's unlikely for them to take it head on.
*Swish* *Wooosh*
She easily dodge the ice shard that shot towards her direction, the ground suddenly tremble and her danger sense flared up, she felt a slight danger coming from the ground.
"[Reflective Barrier] [Damage Absorption Barrier]" She muttered, Mana were shot out from her body as a red and blue barrier surrounded her form in all side including her feet, it covered her completely in a red and blue barrier completely overlapping againsteach other.
*BAM* *CRACK*
Earth spike rose from the ground but that wasn't all, several purple flame erupted like lava and a moment later the temperature dropped to zero, it froze everything except the purple flame.
The ice melted from the purple flame, turning into hot water. The water flow up and rain down at a fast speed.
"Elemental Manipulation: Chaotic Mess" She heard Hiko muttered under her breath.
*Crack*
Her barrier cracked before regenerating, it continue to reflect and absorb the concentrated rain like nothing happen, if she were to guess this fast moving rain could kill a grade A being in a instant.
Which was terrifying but also not surprising for a demon king to be able to do that.
'What kind of attack is this? It's all chaotic and it doesn't complement each of the elements at all' Azura thought while looking at the concentrated water turning into steam upon contact with the purple flame.
Azura could withstand the attack but she's isn't foolish and dumb enough to take a unknown attack head on. She already learned this lesson in the past when she was young and she's isn't going to make the same mistake twice.
Azura calmly stare at Hiko's direction. Her barrier were able to withstand the attack that Hiko had launched and Azura was merely testing Hiko power and strength in order to know her weakness first.
And from what she could gathered, this new demon king wasn't taking this fight serious as if this was a playground and she was merely just a doll that this demon could play with.
Azura had a idea but she doesn't if it would work against Hiko skill Pathetic Effort–
"Boring~ " Hiko playfully spoke with a bored expression, her eyes emitted a childish and innocent gazes but the aura she gives off was the exact opposite. Her aura was menacing and dangerous reminding Azura that she's a demon king and not a mere child.
Azura eyes shone dangerously, her figure and aura changing "I won't be defensive anymore" Azura spoke her tone were more serious now.
It seems Hiko's words had somehow provoked her in some way, but she didn't care since she had enough in being on the defensive, now she's going to be on the offensive and forcefully make Hiko's reveal her trump card.
Azura raised her hand upwards as a staff made of unknown material materialise on her raised right hand. The staff give off a ominous vibe, the mana it exudes and the power it give off was enough to frighten anyone below grade S.
Azura isn't playing around anymore. She was now going to show this demon king the true power of a True Hero. And what it means to be the protector of Humanity....
