POV Narrator
[-140,860,000 Damage]
"Ah!" Azura let out a painful shout, blood splattered on the ground, her eyebrow raised. She didn't expect the seemingly harmless Halo is this dangerous.
[Remaining HP: 600,000,000 / 740,860,000 ]
If she hadn't raised her hand to block the attack, she might had a fatal injury on her chest or worse. 'I should have dodged instead of blocking' She thought, fortunately her arms were gradually regenerating.
Within minutes her arms were back to normal.
*Woosh*
Azura swiftly move her head to the side, then a red halo passed by her face, cutting a few strand of her hair before flying back on Hiko's head as if nothing had happened within that split second.
'That Halo Is Deadly and her strength is terrifying.' Azura thought, deciding to be more careful.
Unfortunately she didn't have time to dwell on it before Hiko's figure disappeared.
*Woosh*
"!!!" Azura anticipating the attack, quickly move her body to the left, a trail of yellowish flash appeared beside her, stretching a few meters behind—it was none other then Hiko appearing instantly with her fist stretched as if she was punching something.
*Booom!*
Immediately afterwards, a deafening sonic boom resounded.
Gust of wind violently move forward, hitting both of them while their hair flowed with the wind, Azura stood her ground maintaining her balance as a massive crater formed underneath Hiko's feets.
The earth tremble in agony, shaking intensely like a earthquake.
Azura gazes at the once vibrant city, now reduce to nothing but dust as if a massive hand had smashed the city, flattening it within a kilometer wide...Hiko had once again destroyed a city.
....
In front of Hiko was nothing but flatten land, that spread in kilometers wide, along with the cloud being splited open–caused by her immense strength.
Just from her single punch....had destroyed a city.
Truly deserving of being called The Destroyer.
'Those innocent lives..' Azura thought, regretfully...
*Swish*
Snapping from her thought, Azura quickly teleported, disappearing and reappearing a few meters away.
*Swish* *Swoosh*
The sharp red halo slashed Azura previous spot, making a sizable cut on the ground, before flying back on Hiko's head.
'Had she been holding back all this time? Or did she used some kind of skill?' Azura thought, She immediately casted [Observation] On Hiko to see what had changed.

The blue window screen appeared in front of Azura.
'what...' Her eyes widen and both her eyebrow raised...
Hiko seeing her stunned behaviour, of course took advantage of it, a blur of yellow trail were left behind her and second later she instantly appeared behind Azura within a fraction of a second.
*Swoosh*
Sensing a danger coming from behind, Azura wanted to dodge but was too slow to react.
'Barrier Absorption! Barrier Reflection!' She mentally casted before several layers of condense mana surrounded her body.
*Swoosh* *Shatter*
Hiko's punch connected with the half formed barrier, it shattered like glass slowing Hiko's momentum, nonetheless her punch still landed.
[-340,860,000 Damage]
*Crash* *Bam!*
The sound barrier broke as a sonic boom resounded.
Azura was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the distance with a resounding explosion, she was sent hundred of Meters away before plunging downward, bouncing off the ground several time, creating deep craters before rolling to a stop.
Her clothes were torn and tattered, exposing part of her skin, her dazzling white hair was dirty with dust and dirt making it less dazzling and more messy.
[Remaining HP: 400,000,000 / 740,860,000 ]
*drip* *drip*
Blood dripped down her chest, her entire ribcage and spine were filled with crack fortunately they were not broken, if she had been a second—No...maybe a fraction of a second late in deploying the barrier she might had receive a fatal injuries and be crippled or worse death.
She slowly stood up from the crater, her fox mask were cracked, with a single hole exposing one of her crimson eyes.
'Have I become slower?' Azura doubted. No it's not that she's slow—Hiko had simply become faster.
....
[Host Grade has temporarily evolve to Grade SSS+++ with the help of Skill: [Limit Breaker]
Power, an unprecedented surge of power, made Hiko feel as if she could destroy a mountain with just a flick of her finger, giving her a sense of overwhelming power.
*BOOOM!*
Mana exploded from Hiko's body surrounding her in a visible red aura, seamlessly enveloping her entire being, that look like flame flaring upwards like a super saiyan.
*Crack*
The ground she stand were starting to break at the intense mana and power she exudes.
The earth tremble in despair, the air evaporated, the cloud faded—and within a 50 meters wide—everything is destroyed and flattened by her aura.
'Wha–What...' Azura thought, the scene before her was–shocking to say the least.
The sudden power boost from Hiko had undoubtedly made Azura felt like she's been trap in a illusion, because the amount of Mana Hiko had released was 15 time greater then the amount of her own mana.
Hiko's childishness and innocent crimson eyes stared at Azura, seemingly mocking her—for being unable to beat a child, younger then a year old.
Azura felt humiliated, here she was giving her all to kill Hiko but–all she got was Hiko mocking gazes. What's more she can't even do anything about it.
The way Hiko move so childishly.
The way she attack in such a innocent way.
And the way she look at Azura in a Innocent and childish manner...
What could be more humiliating then her opponents not taking her seriously!?
Especially this disgraceful demon king! Atleast show some honor and fight her like you mean it.
Azura hold the Aether Sword tightly, her expression unreadable, blocked by the fox mask. But the crack on the mask revealed a menacing crimson gazes filled with killing intent.
....
Hiko stared at the direction where Azura was thrown away. Her expression were childish, but the aura she emitted was that of a terrifying Beast with immense strength.
She gazes at the destruction she had cause, sweat pouring down her forehead, just her aura of mana had flatten all her surrounding, and it's clean too.
'Damn—Limit Breaker is Overpowered, and it's only at advance rank' Hiko exclaim in her mind, she didn't expected that [Limit Breaker] was so powerful.
To the point of making her grade–temporarily evolve to Grade SSS+++ in just a matter of 5 minutes.
That's right, the moment she rushed in and now, it had only been five minute.
Azura had sustained many injuries but they were healed within a minute but with how much damage she accumulated, her Regeneration couldn't keep up with the damage she receive.
Hiko on the other hand and with the maximum output of [Limit Breaker], she naturally wouldn't need to worry about getting seriously injured. Her HP were too massive and her [Pathetic Effort] had reduced the damage to -1, she's basically invincible.
Although the side-effect of being constantly damaged and being unable to regenerate HP were a little disadvantages for her but she could ignore it since her skill [Pathetic Effort] Got it covered.
"Time to Clean Up!~" Hiko childishly spoke, but underneath it was a man that just want to get this over with.
Then with a single flap of her wings, she disappeared leaving a after-image behind and a trail of yellow-flash.
*Swooosh* *Booom*
Another Sonic boom resounded as Hiko broke the sound barrier with a flap of her wings, Hiko appeared behind Azura within a fraction of a second, she launched a casual punch at Azura chest.
*Wooosh*
Again Hiko had punched nothing but air, Azura had dodged the attack just a hair breath away, but this time was different...
'Illusion magic: unrealistic barrage' Hiko thought.
A barrage of punches were now visible in Azura eyes, 'what..impossible!—' Azura thought, her eyes widening just when she thought it was over, the barrage of punch went through her, causing her to be stunned.
*BAM!*
Immediately Azura was send flying hundred of meters away, by Hiko's punch.
[-599,999,990 Critical Damage]
[Remaining HP: 860,010 / 740,860,000 ]
She crashed on the earth several time, before crashing into a tree, hundred of meters away, the tree collapsed and her momentum finally stopped.
*Shattered*
Her fox mask shattered into a thousand pieces, falling down on the earth below, exposing her delicate face to the world.
*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*
Azura violently coughed, spewing out blood in the process, her body covered in blood and injuries.
The barrage of punches was a illusion, a mere distraction from the real punch she had receive.
Just one heavy punch from Hiko had broken several of her ribcage along with both her arms and legs, essentially making her a crippled person.
"Huff...huff" Azura breath heavily, feeling her lungs—pierce by her own ribcage making it harder to breath.
The pain was unbearable to most, but what was Azura? She was the 7th true hero, experiencing life and death many time before, so the pain is manageable for her.
Azura eyes glowed a faint green light and it mixed with her crimson eyes as she muttered a spelled under her breathe.
"Heavenly Mana: Pure Healing" her body glowed in a green aura.
Immediately, the spell took effect, regenerating, fixing, and relocating her bones, and organs at a visible rate. Her skin cells multiplying and her bone healing rapidly to the normal naked eye.
[-150,000,000 Mana]
[+300,000,000 HP]
[Remaining HP: 300,860,010 / 740,860,000 ]
[Remaining Mana: 447,040,800 / 770,760,000 ]
....
The healing duration ended, there were some injuries left on her body but it was better then before, atleast her ribcage was healed, along with her arms and legs.
'!!!' Azura hurriedly titled her head to the side, sensing immense danger coming for her.
*Swooosh*
Sharp red halo passed by her head, cutting a few strands of her hair before coming back for a second round.
Azura seeing this immediately drew a talisman from her storage space. 'Sealing Talisman: Realm Of Isolation' Azura shouted in her mind.
Numerous amount of red chain, emerge from the ground hurtling towards the sharp halo.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
Sound of metal clashing resounded, the red chain and red halo had connected.
The red chain tremble at the red halo power and speed, before more red chain emerged from the ground, Making the red halo movement slowly come to a stop, Azura had successfully stopped the red halo from moving any further.
Before she could savor the victory, the red halo suddenly rotated at unmeasurable speed, the numerous red chain shook heavily and shattered like glass.
"WHAT!?" Azura shouted in disbelief, her most powerful sealed were destroyed just like that?
Then taking advantage of her stunned figure, the halo swiftly move and slashed at Azura chest leaving a trail of blurry red flash.
[-50,000,000 Damage]
[Remaining HP: 250,860,010 / 740,860,000 ]
"Hisss..." Azura hissed painfully.
Gritting her teeth she dashed away from the halo, creating considerable distance.
"Suprise Attack!" Hiko childishly shouted from behind.
*Woosh*
Azura felt a immense force had hit her back, as if something had punched her from behind, sending her downwards towards the ground.
*BOOOOM!*
Instantly a sonic boom sounded out.
The ground cave-in, uplifting several dirt in the air, the cloud were blown away and the earth tremble in agony, shaking intensely like a super earthquake.
*BOOM!*
Another sonic boom resounded.
The dust immediately cleared by the shockwaves, revealing a massive crater in the center, there were nothing but darkness except a pair of red eyes glowing in the dark, staring down on another pair of red eyes.
The massive crater was extremely large, almost a kilometer in height and wide.
Azura felt miserable, the two punches of Hiko made her mind turn blank from the pain, her spine were snapped in half and her ribcage broke in hundred of pieces.
Hiko raised her clenched fist high above, making Azura pupils retracted and her heart skipping a beat.
Time seem to slow down and a barrage of heavy punches appeared before Azura very own eyes, but instead of it being a illusion it was real.
Hiko did not show a single shred of mercy.
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
Several more Boom echo throughout the area, as if a ancient beast were venting its anger on the earth below. The earth cave-in even more, the air vanished and the shockwaves spread across the sky.
Hiko circulated immense mana on her fist, giving her immense strength before she launch it towards Azura, to end it once and for all.
*KA BOOOOM!*
With a resounding explosion, the already devastated and ruin city were now more destroyed, with a mushroom cloud rising and shockwaves spreading throughout the area.
The shockwaves forcefully pushed everything it come across, creating a earth tsunami in the process, destroying the landscape...
