Shocked to see the person in front of him, Skylar loses his cool and drops his guard for a second but quickly regains control over his emotions after remembering the changes in the world he asked "who are you?" to the half demon in front of him with a cold voice.
"If you don't know who I am, then why are you so shocked" the half demon asked in a voice filled with mockery while going into a battle stance.
"I know you look the same as my friend, but are you really him or another person pretending to be him" he conversed with him in a indifferent tone as if he didn't care about the situation at all and taking a stance to attack the enemy at any moment.
"haha..do you really think I am not the real Billy, if so….you were the one who unsealed this terror of a world and left whole humanity at the hands of those monsters for your selfish love" Billy shouted at Skylar in extreme anger, ready to kill him at any chance.
Shocked upon discovering that he was real Billy he said in a apologetic tone "I am sorry for the destruction I caused you or whole humanity, but I was betrayed by Iris, she told me that after unsealing she will come to the main material world and I didn't notice anything strange. I never thought that the unsealing will lead to this".
"But…why are you a half demon? And why are you here?" Skylar asked in a questioning tone, although knowing the answer to the question but unable to accept the fact that his kind hearted friend would do such a thing.
"Yes I sacrificed this whole town to lord of hell for his power and as you can see how powerful I am, soon I will conquer the whole world, everything will be mine" lost in his lust for power Billy laughed crazily forgetting about his enemy.
Skylar remembered that he never talked to Billy about anything related to rituals, shuddering at the thought that this might be illusion he takes his katana in a reverse grip and slightly pierces his thigh but nothing changed proving that this was not a illusion.
Then Billy suddenly moved towards Skylar with a speed greater than Skylar's. This caught him off guard he only had the time to put the katana in front of him but his claws changed direction and struck hard on his stomach.
Skylar distanced himself from the enemy, he started bleeding from stomach and thigh, slightly focusing on his wounds he immediately stops the bleeding by closing the outer layer where the wound was inflicted with help of body control but he also vigilantly watch the movements of his enemy without losing his focus because of the pain.
Billy started chanting in a weird language which turned the atmosphere more eerie, but at the cost of using the chant his body started shrinking, his skin started becoming pale and his eyes became blurry. Sensing the eerie atmosphere Skylar became wary of his old friend and resolves himself to kill him before the chant is completed.
Skylar contracts his leg muscles and right hand muscles from which he was holding his katana to the extent that it seems to explode any second, he released the tension and he covered the distant immediately between them but it was already too late as Billy completed the chant, dozens of undead started rising from the ground giving a feeling as if they would devour everything in their way.
After completing the chant Billy dodges to his left avoiding the powerful killing strike but lost his right arm in the process, missing to end Billy's life and seeing the rise of several undeads trying to attack his daughter who was protected by the golem, fearing that the golem might not be able to protect her, he moved to attack the undeads but Billy blocks his path.
Frustrated and angered by the maliciousness of Billy he attacks him furiously without caring about defense, exited by the situation because of his demonic nature he also started attacking Skylar without defending any attacks.
By constantly contracting his muscles to give powerful strikes Skylar started feeling sore and the internal bleeding didn't help, as new wounds started appearing all over his body and the enemy was not faring any better, weakened by the demonic chant performed earlier he regressed from level 3 limit breaker to level 3 high which drastically decreased his fighting power, he was slowly losing his consciousness because of excessive blood loss.
Seeing that the golem might be destroyed any second and hearing his daughter cry, his attacks become faster and faster and his control over his body rose to new heights and he miraculously broke through two sub levels and reached level 3 limit breaker.
Using his newfound control over his body he controlled his muscles all over his body without feeling restrained he unleashed a deadly strike with his katana which gained a red hue by absorbing its enemy's blood [red blood katana's special property is that the more it absorbs blood in a fight it will gain a corroding red hue and will become sharper] aimed at his neck, unable to avoid the attack Billy's memories flashes before his eyes and at last second he sees a red blur which removes his head from his body as the head falls a lone tear also falls to the ground.
In the reflection of Skylar eyes a red fountain came from the headless corpse, feeling the guilt of killing his friend he eyes lost light for a moment, but he regains his composure.
He was ready to clear the horde of undead and moved toward that direction but what he sees made his blood boil, his eyes became bloodshot.
