Cusadler, caught in the sway of Lilith's spiritual technique, Attraction, finds himself increasingly drawn to her. Initially unaware of the dangers, he succumbs to her seduction as Lilith seizes the opportunity to deploy her deadly abilities.
Lilith, with a sly smile, intensifies Attraction on Cusadler, whose attention is distracted by her allure. At this moment, she applies Gastric Acid, leaving a thin layer on his skin.
The Gastric Acid subtly begins to corrode Cusadler's spiritual energy, weakening his resistance and focus. Though he feels the pain, the Attraction keeps him captivated.
Lilith skillfully manipulates the acidity of her Gastric Acid, adjusting it to match Cusadler's resistance. The corrosive liquid penetrates his protective aura, exposing the vulnerability of his spiritual energy.
As Cusadler gradually awakens to the threat, he attempts to resist both the Attraction and the corrosive effects. Employing his spiritual abilities, he creates a defensive barrier, but the combination of Attraction and Gastric Acid strains his defenses.
Sensing Cusadler's resistance, Lilith intensifies her Gastric Acid assault. The corrosion deepens, further compromising his defensive abilities. At a critical moment, Cusadler, pushed to his limits, summons a reserve of strength and breaks free of the Attraction.
Now free from her charm, Cusadler uses his abilities to dispel the Gastric Acid. Fully aware of the danger, he prepares to counterattack, determined to overcome Lilith's influence.
This phase of the battle heightens the tension, showcasing the complexity of the dynamic between Cusadler and Lilith. The Gastric Acid acts as an insidious threat, while Attraction tests Cusadler's inner strength.
Lilith, sensing Cusadler's renewed resolve, shifts tactics. With a mischievous smile, she activates her perk, Lifedrain, unleashing a wave of dark energy toward him. With an elegant gesture, Lilith releases Lifedrain, and a shadowy aura envelops Cusadler, beginning to siphon his vitality.
The Lifedrain perk doesn't deal immediate damage but instead causes gradual weakening. Cusadler feels mounting fatigue, his movements slow, and his aura of power begins to dim.
The toll of Lifedrain is evident on Cusadler's face. Lines of weariness appear, and his expression grows more solemn. Lilith watches with satisfaction as her opponent's vitality erodes.
Despite his worn appearance, Cusadler refuses to give in. He concentrates his remaining energy to resist the draining effect, demonstrating the inner strength that made him leader of the Sacred Knights.
Lilith continues channeling Lifedrain, maintaining pressure on Cusadler. She acknowledges his remarkable resilience but remains determined to exploit her perk's effects to their fullest. The scene climaxes as Cusadler, though weakened, gathers his last reserves of energy. He meets Lilith's gaze directly, daring her to continue.
The battle reaches a peak of tension. Lilith's cunning use of Lifedrain as a prolonged strategy contrasts with Cusadler's unyielding determination, promising an even more intense confrontation ahead.
Lancy, wielding her sword, strikes with precision at Belphegor. Simultaneously, she channels the intensity of her Dawnfire, a spiritual ability blessed by the Sun's power fragment, through her left hand.
Her spiritually charged fist lands on Belphegor, aiming to sear him with solar intensity, surrounding the demon in a fiery aura as her blade cuts through the air toward its target. This combination of attacks showcases the duality of Lancy's abilities: physical strikes and searing spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, Cusadler, still under Lilith's influence, becomes an unwilling source of sustenance. His resistance wanes as she continues to siphon his vitality. At the height of the struggle, Cusadler, despite his weakened state, calls upon his spiritual ability, Seize, in an attempt to wrest control of the curse (in its material form) from Lilith, aiming to turn her Lifedrain against her.
A spiritual tug-of-war ensues, with Cusadler battling to resist the curse and redirect it toward Lilith. This clash of abilities creates a tense scenario, as both fighters push their limits in a dangerous dance of spiritual manipulation.
Realizing the impossibility of controlling Lilith's materialized curse, Cusadler adapts his strategy. Using Seize, he focuses on a tangible target within Lilith herself—one of the three hearts that high-class demons like the Infernal Generals possess. Acting quickly, Cusadler crushes one of Lilith's hearts, delivering a direct blow to her demonic physiology.
The confrontation between Lancy and Belphegor reaches its climax as his Infernal Flames begin to overwhelm her. The sheer intensity and superiority of the flames highlight the overpowering might of the Infernal General.
Despite her Dawnfire ability, Lancy realizes the disadvantage she faces against Belphegor's infernal power. Surrounded by the flames, she musters all her strength to endure. The clash of opposing fires becomes a spectacle of raw power and resilience.
Belphegor's Impatience perk activates as Lancy tries to channel her abilities. This perk, which diminishes the effectiveness of spiritual techniques and seals them completely if the user succumbs to the pain of burns, proves merciless. It consumes Lancy, showing the brutal efficiency of Belphegor's methods and dramatically altering the battle's course.
Weakened by the perk, Lancy is forced to rely on her swordsmanship. Though at a disadvantage, she seeks openings in Belphegor's defenses. Confident in his superiority, Belphegor advances with intensified Infernal Flames, pressing his advantage.
In a pivotal moment, Lancy surprises Belphegor with a previously concealed spiritual technique, Amplification – 25%, increasing her power by a quarter. The sudden surge shifts the dynamic, allowing her to counterattack. Both combatants, now exhausted, reassess their positions, knowing the outcome remains uncertain.
Summoning all his strength, Belphegor turns the tide again, unleashing his ultimate technique, Infernal Flame Fury. Lancy's Dawnfire resurges briefly, but the overwhelming force of Belphegor's attack leaves her drained.
Before succumbing fully to the flames, Lancy activates her spiritual technique, Telepathy, sending a brief but urgent mental message to Midoki. Her words carry the weight of her courage and the dire need for aid against the mounting demonic threat.
As Belphegor revels in his apparent victory, Lancy's telepathic plea reaches Midoki, igniting a sense of urgency within him. The future of Lior's Kingdom and Midoki's journey are set to take unexpected and harrowing turns, challenging him to rise against the encroaching darkness.
News of Lancy's death spreads, reaching Midoki, who now faces the monumental task of confronting the demonic forces threatening Lior's Kingdom. Mourning her loss, Midoki's grief merges with resolve as he steels himself for the battles that will shape the kingdom's destiny.
Under Lilith's control, Cusadler, now fully enthralled, becomes a dangerous pawn. Submitting to her seduction, he turns his blades on Midoki, who is still locked in combat with Lucifer. Disoriented by the unexpected assault, Midoki finds himself facing a new threat, as Cusadler's ferocity adds another layer of chaos to the unfolding battle.
