Infernal Inheritance Chapter Twenty-seven Liz vs Asmodeus, part 5
Tournament Grounds, Dis, Kingdom of Pandaemonium, MaikaiElizabeth was frozen in place as she stared off at the vacant eyes of Ikki. Elizabeth tried to shake Ikki up but with each attempt she saw that there was no movement from the Saiyan. As Elizabeth would hear Asmodeus speak from above.
“That’s anticlimactic. You knew him for so long and cared for him so much and now he is dead.” He turned his gaze down at Elizabeth.
“Was that sufficient for you? Or do we need to kill another one of your friends to get the point?” the demon lord asked as he flexed his fingers. Sparks jumping off and striking against the group.
“That...bastard!” Danuja weakly shouted, fighting back tears, her injuries grave but she had enough energy to spout one final insult before collapsing.
Glacia, however, looked at Ikki’s body, at the Saiyan’s injuries. Something about them seemed off to Glacia...
Hearing the screams from the others would trigger something in Elizabeth.
Elizabeth would stop shaking as she slowly got up, her body slouching forward as she held onto her knees.
Asmodeus saw Elizabeth getting up. He thought of attacking her but decided to wait to see what she would do.
He saw the cambion’s body glow red and in a blink of an eye she and Ikki disappeared.
“What?”
He looked around and he saw Elizabeth was with the group carrying Ikki. The cambion would kneel down to Glacia’s level.
“Take him far away from this place Glacia.” Elizabeth asked, her hair covering her eyes.
The Arcosian nodded, noting the change in Liz’s tone. Danuja, Nymph, and Alex were all unconscious, and there was little her, Jalid, and Meroe could do now.
“All right,” she told the witch, using her telekinesis to float Ikki and the other three injured members of Team Ashwood in the air, looking over to Jalid and Meroe.
“Get them to safety, there are some things here that I need to figure out,” the Empress told the Lamia and her cousin.
As Elizabeth dropped off Ikki with the Arcosian she would turn around to face Asmodeus, though she refused to look up at him.
A black and red aura would erupt from her body. The dark power of the black dragon rising from her but now it felt different.
Asmodeus can sense something changed as his calm expression was now tense.
“Nihilus. First you aided the man who took my old life, my friends, and my mother. Now you are using my grandfather to take my Saiyan and kingdom. What do you want from me?”
She finally moved her head up to look up at the chaos emperor. Her eyes changed from their usual color to red.
“You didn’t think I wanted to use this power to win this tournament? I thought of it all the time, but I was afraid of losing control, hurting something or someone. But now I see I was an idiot for holding back. I should have put everything I got since this tournament started.”
Elizabeth closed her eyes as she tried to feel for the dragon’s presence.
"
Amastu... sorry for being a coward for so long. I agree to our deal fully."
Elizabeth heard only silence for a few seconds but soon she got a reply from the dragon as the aura began to flare out.
“
It was about time. Let's kill that bastard!"
Elizabeth threw her head back and screamed, her scream and the roar of Amastu merging together as the aura rose up in a pillar of chaotic power that would pierce through the stadium ceiling and up into the darken sky, parting the skies.
The ground began to shake violently. The rivers and lakes of lava began to bubble and spout out large splashes of molten rock. Some of the lava would splash onto streets and buildings, burning and melting anyone caught in the splash.
Lightning flashes from the heavens and some struck the ground, destroying boulders and buildings, causing rubble to rain down at the street below and causing more panic in the city, thunder boomed and roar, the winds themselves howled like banshees screaming for the damned as tornadoes began to form in some parts close to the city. Yanking off pieces of the Earth and flinging them wherever fate decided , some of these pieces flying to the city and destroying many buildings .
Pieces of the ground itself rosed up as jagged towers as buildings toppled over. Not even the mighty walls proved to be strong enough to withstand what was happening as some sections were destroyed by laval splashes, repeating lightning strikes, and one by massive earth pillars breaking through it from underneath.
Asmodeus was blown back by the strong gust produced by the pillar. His armored boots sliding across the ground as dust clouds blew across the arena floor. Above him pieces of the stadium roof were beginning to fall down.
The surviving audience members all began to flee as pieces of the stadium were now falling on top of them. The few that were flying down to Asmodeus were destroyed in mid air by sparks of dark energy as he looked at the pillar.
“What have you done Elizabeth?” the demon lord was surprised to see so much power coming off the cambion who seconds ago was barely able to stand.
Outside the stadium the demons that manage to escape would find to their horror the same Earthen towers now enclosed the tower as the ground continue to tremble and break, lava spewing out from the cracks.
The pillar would begin to glow more intensely until finally a red flash would engulf the whole city as a scream and roar can be heard from within the light.
Once the light faded the pillar and the accompanying natural disasters would cease to be.
The few remaining demons trapped in the arena would all begin to slowly get up and after shaking off their confusion would look back down at the arena and witness a change in the fight.
Standing in front of Asmodeus, the chaos emperor, was what appeared to be a new woman. But more eagle eye viewers would realize that the woman was still Elizabeth but like her grandfather she also changed completely into a
new form.
Glacia smirked as he noted Elizabeth’s new form. Even without her scouter and the ability to read power signatures, the empress could feel the energy bursting forth from the cambion and in her new form. However, Glacia’s attention was still on Asmodeus.
How could he seemingly teleport instantly? the diminutive alien thought.
His attacks against me, and his blow against Ikki, they defy everything regarding physics. His injuries were instantly given, which would be impossible unless…Something seemed to click in Glacia’s mind as the battle between the demons continued.
Asmodeus looked at his granddaughter. Her hair once black hair was now white like his own. As she opened her eyes they showed neither their human gray nor demonic/dragonic red, but a yellow glow. Even from their distance he can tell that she now matched him in height.
A part of him feared that she might match him in terms of power.
The demon lord shook his head.
“You think copying us would change the outcome of this fight?! It’s useless to resist Ashwood!”
Asmodeus would jump up in the air and raise his hands over his head.
“CHRONO TRIGGER!”
The world distorted as once more all color faded and motion ceased.
Asmodeus would keep his hands over his head as he charged twin orbs.
“DARKNESS JUDGEMENT!”
He would launch the orbs into the air. The two orbs would spin around each other, slowly getting closer.
When the two finally merged they would rapidly expand into a massive, swirling, energy cloud. The cloud would destroy whatever was left of the stadium roof as the cloud began to rain down energy streams at Elizabeth before they stopped above her.
“Time continues!”
The world would return and each stream would land down on top of Elizabeth.
The shower of dark bolts would only end once the cloud dispersed.
The demon lord seemed to be assured that he proved himself to be the superior one as he couldn’t sense Elizabeth’s energy.
But his confidence would shatter instantly as Elizabeth appeared before him.
Before he can utter his shock Elizabeth would throw a punch and a clawed fist made of dark magic would come out of her hand and strike the demon lord on the face. The arm would expand out and break through the stadium wall and fly straight through a building where it would leave Asmodeus.
Elizabeth would stare at the hole she made before she looked down at her own hand, seeing the black claws she had for nails and seeing sparks of dark energy trailing between her fingers.
“Elizabeth!” Glacia shouted. “I figured it out. I figured out his trick.”
Elizabeth looked down at Glacia. “Well then. Spit it out kid. I’m not in the mood for games or delays. But I think I have an idea what is the source for his trick.”
“It is time,” the empress continued. “He can stop time.”
Elizabeth snorted. “Of fucking course. That damn time bitch didn’t keep a close eye on one of her playthings and Nihilus ate one of them when she wasn’t looking.”
“He cannot stop time indefinitely,” the Arcosian returned. “That is beyond any being.”
Elizabeth still kept a cold look. “No. But he can push it past the limits of those so-called “time lords”,” she replied back.
Elizabeth can feel Asmodeus was flying back to the stadium. She powered up to prepare for the fight.
But instead of seeing him she would instead hear Meroe screaming as Elizabeth looked down.
She found her grandfather standing with his back turned from Glacia. On her neck the demon lord plunged a dagger into her throat.
“I believe the mortals have a saying about those who expose other people’s secrets. But I can’t be bothered to remember what was the exact quote.”
The demon lord looked up before he vanished from her sight.
Elizabeth looked around but she realized that she was moved and was floating in front of the massive screen, where Asmodeus was sitting on.
“So you figured out our secret. No doubt you also know how we acquired this power. It wasn’t easy doing so as it required centuries of planning and tracking for us to finally have the chance to take one of Bika’s servants without her tracking us down.”
Asmodeus would disappear and once Elizabeth would find herself moved to a new location; floating above the stadium with Asmodeus floating above her.
“But you see Ashwood. You can figure out how we gained this power, how long we can keep it going, or anything else about it. In the end nothing you can learn would change that the outcome of this fight was determined before this fight even started.”
Spikes of dark energy began to appear behind Asmodeus.
Elizabeth would fly off to avoid the attack but the demon lord gave her a sadistic grin as he shouted.
“CHRONO TRIGGER!”
Time froze once more as Elizabeth began to curse mentally.
“They say the first cut always cuts the deepest.” He would send all of the spikes flying towards Elizabeth and all of them began to freeze just inches from her.
“And those are a lot of firsts.”
Asmodeus would form more spikes and send them out. He did this twice before he sent out a fully charged beam.
“And now, time resumes.”
Time began to return to normal as the spikes began to make their way to Elizabeth.
The cambion would summon multiple shadowy arms from her back and begin to punch away the spikes.
However the suddenness of the attack meant that some of the spikes got through, one stabbing her on the right thigh, another on her left side and right breast.
When the beam struck her arms it tore through them and struck her stomach and chest, sending her flying as the remaining spikes would stab her body, one stabbing her on the heart and the other on her forehead.
Elizabeth would fall down on the ground and crash land on a back alley.
It didn’t take long for Asmodeus to appear in the same alley.
“For any normal person being stabbed so many times and going through a fall like that would kill them. But you are beyond the boundaries of normality aren’t you Ashwood.”
Asmodeus knelt down and slapped his hand on the ground. Sparks flew off as the ground beneath his hand sank down into a hole as a battle axe was forming on the palm of his hand as he slowly got up.
“But regardless this fight is over and just like that Saiyan before this ended anti-climatic.”
The demon lord would make the axe float up in the air and aim the blade on Elizabeth’s neck.
“Now then. CHRONO TRIGGER!”
Color in reality began to distort but as motion still existed in those few seconds Elizabeth’s aura erupted as she dashed towards Asmodeus. The demon lord was caught off guard by the sudden action that he didn’t defend himself when Elizabeth brought down a large shadowy fist onto his head.
Reality only froze for a few seconds before it resumed as the demon lord was sent flying to the stairs leading into the alley.
“It isn’t over yet old man. Ikki and Glacia both showed me some weaknesses to your power and I was waiting for the right time to exploit it.”
Asmodeus would glare at the cambion as he tried to get up but his legs would wobble before giving up.
“Our legs. What have you down to our legs!” he shouted.
Elizabeth gave Asmodeus a grin.
“Looks like that blow to your head affects your ability to walk. It should make it easy for me to beat the shit out of you.”
From her shadow the head of the dragon began to emerge. “But honestly you aren’t worth getting my hands dirty anymore.”
The demon lord would look at her with defince before laughing at her. The cambion growled at him as she would motion the head to devour her grandfather.
Asmodeus would turn his head at the dragon.
“CHRONO TRIGGER!”
Elizabeth’s eyes widened as the world began to slow down before it stopped.
Ah crap.Elizabeth thought in that moment before she blacked out. Her mind returning back to her to see the dragon having taken chunks from the stair but not the demon lord.
Elizabeth looked around for her grandfather only to sense him in the air. She looked up and saw him flying away.
Asmodeus was fuming on how he was forced to fly away because a child was able to lay a blow on him that crippled him. The only relief was that he won’t be crippled for long.
His thoughts would be interrupted as he felt a powerful blow from his back sending him crashing down to the street below, forming a small crater on the road.
The demon lord would squint his eyes from the pain but he would begin to crawl to a manhole cover. Planning on hiding out in the sewers until he can regain his legs.
As his fingers were close to the cover a shadowy fist would punch the cover into the hole, forcing his hand to retreat back.
“Well, Well, Asmodeus.”
The demon looked up to see Elizabeth. Her left hand on her hip as she gave him a wide grin with her golden eyes glowing brightly. The cambion looked psychotic to the demon lord.
“Looks like I violated your manhole…”
The cambion was silent for a few seconds. “Cover.” she quickly added as she tried to erase the awkwardness her previous words made.
The demon lord would push himself up and float away from Elizabeth.
“Time freezes! CHRONO TRIG…”
Before he can finish another shadowy fist would punch him in the face.
“SHUT THE HELL UP OLD MAN!”
Elizabeth would summon six more arms and all of them would begin to deliver a flurry of punches at Asmodeus. His body jerking in pain as each fist pummeled him.
The onslaught would have a momentary end as all the fists pulled back and began to merge into a singular, more gargantuan, arm. The demonic limb would swing itself forward and deliver a punch with enough force to send the demon lord flying away from Elizabeth.
As the demon lord flew away he left behind a trail of blood. As he flew he would send a large influx of energies coming towards him. Realizing where he was flying to the demon lord laughed as he realized that Ashwood had inadvertently aided him.
Elizabeth flew after him as she heard him laughing.
“Did I hit him on the head too hard?” she asked herself as she was now starting to think that her grandfather was losing whatever shreds of sanity he had left.
The demon lord would create a rift and allow himself to fly through it.
The witch stopped in mid flight once she saw her grandfather escaping. She tried to sense him out but she didn’t need to search for long.
She felt his power growing while she sensed many energy signatures disappearing.
“That’s coming from the stadium!”
She created her own rift and went through it.
As Elizabeth exited the portal she found herself back in the stadium grounds. Many of the demons outside were now on the ground motionless.
“Shit, shit, shit.” the cambion cursed as she clenched her fist tightly, sparks flying off.
“You were a few seconds too late, Elizabeth.”
Elizabeth looked up and saw Asmodeus carrying Glacia by the neck.
“You’re friends and these spectators provided the right amount of nutrients to aid in our recovery and to give us an increase to our power.” He would throw Glacia aside like she was a broken doll.
She saw that surrounding the demon lord was the rest of the ground down on the ground.
“Oh don’t think you can save them Ashwood. We blow away any chance of them recovering from this. We sucked them all bone dry. We reached around and..” Before the demon lord can finish Elizabeth would scream and become a red and black blur as she tackled him back into the stadium.
Going through many walls and rooms until they return back to the arena.
Asmodeus would slam both his fists on Elizabeth to knock her off him and into the ground but the cambion would land on both her hands and feet.
The demon lord was breathing in deeply. “We’re done playing around. We’re ending this bout once and for all!” The demon lord began to scream as he was powering up.
Elizabeth would get up and give her grandfather a smirk.
“For once you said the first intelligible thing in this whole fight you dementia-ridden fossil.”
Elizabeth would join in as she let out a scream and began to charge her power.
As both fighters were unleashing every ounce of power they had the city and the surrounding area began to shake once more as a dark storm hung over the city. Dormant volcanoes awakened and erupted in response to the surge of power that was coming from the imperial city.
Two pillars arose from the city. One of purple and one of red.
From within the pillars of power to small dots can be seen at the heart of the pillars. Two dots that represent the possible future of Maikai.
And of
the world as a whole
From within the pillars the two fighters floated over the crumbling stadium as they stared at each other, both giving each other a grin.
"As much as you have annoyed us Ashwood. I hate to admit it but you provided us a challenging fight, one we felt that we would never experience again. I will remember this fight even after the birth of the new world." He told the chaos empress.
The grin on Elizabeth grew. "You have no idea how long we have waited a chance to defeat you!" Elizabeth stated. "Your plans end here Harbinger!"
Elizabeth and Asmodeus both shouted as they charged towards each other.
Asmodeus would shout the name of his time stop power and as time was stopping he would throw a punch at Elizabeth just as she did the same.
The shock wave of their collided attacks would echo throughout the city.
As time began to resume Asmodeus would let out blood as Elizabeth's elbow pushed itself deep into his waist.
But not deterred he would bring his fist down to her head but the witch would turn her body and catch his fist. She would swing her tail around and try to stab him with her tail but Asmodeus would raise his free hand and allow the tail to stab through the palm of his hand.
Asmodeus would raise his knee up and hit Elizabeth by the side but the witch only responded by pushing her tail forward. Elizabeth would open her mouth to unleash a beam of energy that would push her grandfather away from her.
Once there was some distance between the two she would put her hands forward.
"VELVET INFERNO!"
She would unleash the dark purple and black beam at Asmodeus. The demon lord would vanish before the beam can hit him.
"DARKNESS EXECUTION!" He shouted as he sent out an orb at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth would send out Velvet Inferno once more and the beam would encase the orb within its own prison. The orb would implode within the dark magic barrier. But just as it was shattered Asmodeus would fly through it and summon a lance of dark energy on his hand and throw it at Elizabeth. The attack would through the side of Elizabeth's head and disorient her long enough for the demon lord to deliver both his feet on her face. As she was flying away he would launch a beam in her direction.
Elizabeth would sense the attack and create a rift in front of her and escape through it as the beam almost entered the rift before it vanished.
The demon lord looked at where the beam was fired and turned around just in time to see the rift open above him from behind him, with Elizabeth coming down with Raguel's sword.
The demon lord raised his arms as a shield while conjuring a barrier but Elizabeth would unleash a swipe in the air and both the barrier and arms were cut through, causing a large gash to open on Asmodeus' chest.
With the demon lord left defenseless Elizabeth would plunge her blade down and she would stab through his neck. Asmodeus would gurgle as his windpipe blocked by the blade. As the demon lord looked at her he would swing a punch at her but she would flap her wings and fly away from the path from the fist, still holding on to the blade's hilt as she yank it off his neck.
Asmodeus would let out a gasp of air but gurgle once more as his throat was flooded with blood. But the demon lord didn't rest as he would conjure a barrier around his neck as the angelic blade almost cut his neck. Asmodeus would form several dark spikes and make them rain down at Elizabeth's location.
The cambion princess would fly away from her grandfather to avoid the spikes.
Elizabeth would summon many shadowy hands and send them all at Asmodeus. The demon lord would do the same and both fists would collide at the same time before the shadowy limbs would become blurs as each delivered a flurry of punches to break through the defenses of the other.
Elizabeth screamed as she charged more energy to her fists to make them stronger. The engagement now having Elizabeth's punches starting to break through his grandfather's as each of his hands began to shatter. However the demon lord was able to recover from the earlier stabbing and once he can use his throat he began to scream, channeling more power to his fists and making sure that none of them shatter by Elizabeth's blows, if anything it was Elizabeth who was now losing hands.
Elizabeth knew that she needed to think of a new plan. She would begin to channel her power into the angelic sword. But Asmodeus would sense what she was doing and he would shout.
“Time freezes! Chrono Trigger!" Time would once more freeze as he dodge away from the slash wave that he expected to come. Being right on the type of the attack, but not where it will come from.
As he allowed time to resume he would be caught by surprise when the slash would appear on his body.
"WHAT!?" He screamed out in pain as he clutched his chest. Elizabeth would use this chance to vanish herself by a rift and reappear to perform a spin kick that would knock Asmodeus to the ground.
The demon lord bounced off the ground and before he could land back down Elizabeth would crash land on top of him.
Elizabeth would charge her fist with dark energy and she would shove her fist straight into her grandfather's chest hole, but instead punched the ground.
She would see her grandfather standing away, surrounded by black and purple flames. She knew what spell he was going to send.
Elizabeth would surround herself with black and red flames as she prepared for her own spell.
"ABYSSAL DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!”
"CHAOS DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!"
From the two demons two mighty dragons rose. From Elizabeth on baring the semblance of Amatsu flew towards a dragon that resembled a demonic Shenron that had a thick mane around his neck and a third horn on his nose, a long reptilian tongue stuck out from it’s jaws . The two dragons would begin to circle around each other, biting and scratching each other as they tried to establish dominance over the other.
The two dragons flew high into the air as the many heads of Elizabeth’s dragon wrapped themselves around Asmodeus, all while the demon lord’s own dragon was strangling the lead head of Elizabeth’s own dragon.
The two demonic royals were pouring every ounce of power they had into their dragons
The abyssal dragon would push the chaotic variant off it’s body and make a dive down to Elizabeth. As the abyssal dragon roared it would be pulled back by the chaos dragon as the heads bite down on its shoulders and neck from behind, making it turn up and fly past Elizabeth.
The two dragons would break through the walls of the stadium behind Elizabeth as the chaos dragon slammed it’s rival to the ground, spreading black flames on the park and neighborhoods as it dragged it’s rival across the ground of the city.
As the two dragons rampaged throughout the city the two demonic royals would break their stance and charge forward.
Both would deliver power punches to their faces. Both would create energy balls in front of their fists and blast their attacks on each other’s faces.
From the dust cloud the two royals flew away as Asmodeus and Elizabeth both sent out a barrage of blasts that would intercept each other.
Asmodeus would growl. “CHRONO TRIGGER!” time stopped as he charged through the dust cloud and delivered a punch at Elizabeth.
But as time began to resume he would be caught off guard by her blocking the attack with her arms. Elizabeth would use the distraction to perform a roundhouse kick that would connect to his head and she would follow the attack with another spin kick but Asmodeus would catch it and flung her to the side.
“CHRONO TRIGGER!” He would make time stop again as he launched more dark energy bolts at Elizabeth.
“Time resumes.” he would see his bolts flying towards her but to his shock his grand daughter responded with summoning the archangel’s sword and slicing through the energy projectiles.
“How!?” he shouted before he dodge out of the way of several dimensional cuts sent after him. Elizabeth would unleash her aura and vanish once more.
Appearing in front of Asmodeus to hit him on the stomach with her knees.
“You’re rusty as hell old man. Once I realize that the best way to counter your time skip was to predict your movement and this form gives me all the speed I need to do just that.”
The demon lord growled at the insult directed at him. He would scream and he would blast Elizabeth away with his aura. He would raise both his hands up
“Dragon, return to me!”
From across the city Elizabeth would hear the abyssal dragon roaring.
“Like I said old man, predictable.” Elizabeth would raise her left hand up.
“Dragon, return to me!”
Her own aura would flare out.
The two would hear their respective dragons roaring as the two dragons flew back to the stadium. The two dragons would circle around the stadium before the two would crash down at their respective owners, engulfing them in flames.
The flames would spread throughout the arena and break through the barrier and into the stalls, consuming everything in their way.
But just as the flames were about to enter the hallway they would begin to retract back to the source of their genesis.
The flames would soon be reduced into fiery auras of the two makers.
The previous emperor and the could-be empress both glared at each other as each one prepared for the other to deliver the final blow.
The two screamed and the two became streaks of black with either purple or red cores as they crashed into each other, Elizabeth blocking a kick from Asmodeus.
The two flew up and each time they were visible it was only for a few seconds as each one blocked the other attacks.
The two were now still as they delivered a flurry of kicks and punches at each other.
“IT’S USELESS TO DEFEAT US ASHWOOD. USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS!”
Asmodeus shouted over and over as he delivered each blow to Elizabeth as she let out her own battle cry.
Elizabeth would unleash another burst of power and charge towards Asmodeus, crashing into him and sending him through the wall. She would conjure a rift for the two to enter through and appear just a few inches off the ground where the two crashed on.
Before her grandfather can get up Elizabeth would shove her fist right into Asmodeus' chest hole.
“You want to suck everyone dry right? Well how about you try eating me you glountness bastard. I got plenty of energy to spare!”
Elizabeth would shover her second fist right into the same hole.
“It’s time to end this! CHAOS DRAGON…”
Before she can finish she would find Asmodeus had disappeared. She looked up and saw the demon lord clenching his chest as Elizabeth summoned her sword, covering it in the same flames.
Elizabeth flew up high and came down to strike down her grandfather with the sword of chaos flames.
“Stop!” cried a voice, a voice very familiar to Elizabeth, coming from a
familiar looking demon“You don’t have to fight anymore, Elizabeth. It’s over. You won.”
Hearing the voice calling out made the red haze that clouded her vision begin to clear up. As the blade was inches from touching Asmodeus forehead it would stop, the flames having dispersed long before she stopped the attack.
Asmodeus looked at the cambion with some surprise that she was able to stop on time.
“What?” the demon lord uttered as he turned to look at the other demon.
When Elizabeth turned to look at him she would say only one word.
“Dad…”
The demon smiled softly on his daughter, the first time he had seen her in years.
“Yes, it’s really me, my little hellspawn,” he said with great affection, before he turned to his own father.
“Father, you remember what this is about, right? Why you organised this tournament? Why you made a deal with Nihilus?”
Asmodeus would look away from the demon. “Why did I do this?” he asked himself.
The demon lord would grunt in pain as he placed his hand on his forehead.
What are you doing? She left herself wide open. Ignore that demon and finish this fight!Asmodeus heard Nihilus' voice echo in his head.
"My plan..." He repeated himself as he was staring off far away from the two demons.
"
Asmodeus! What are you doing?!"
The demon lord growled.
"Ending this fight how I wanted." The demon lord threw his head up and screamed to the heavens as his aura flared up once more. Elizabeth defended herself for what she expected was an attack.
But to her surprise she saw smoke leaving off her grandfather's body.
"What the hell?"
Was all she could see as more of the smoke was leaving her grandfather’s body. Eventually his form was covered by the smoke until finally it two dispersed and she saw his younger form.
However this didn’t stay as even that form was covered by smoke and vanished to make the demon revert back to his wizened form once more.
Asmodeus fell onto his hands and knees. Sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
Elizabeth looked at the eldery demon and the smoke that was expelled out of his body.
“Okay, what the fuck is goin on?”
