Archibald had underestimated Chigaru's loyalty to the Ruler of Sloth, which led to the Anubite betraying Archibald and his team who were hired by Justinian to slay The Lord of Lust and his crew.
Archibald found himself struggling to defend himself against Chigaru's relentless attacks with his broadsword. The realization hit him hard that this mission was not going to be a walk in the park.
Fighting against The Lord of Lust, even for someone young and inexperienced, would be no small feat.
The Rulers of Sin, who were the most powerful demons in the seven circles, were said to be protected by the Pillar of Sin, the most powerful demons in each of their respective Sin's Circle.
It was no secret that they were formidable opponents, and their skills and powers were beyond comprehension.
Archibald knew that he and his team would have to be at their very best to even stand a chance against them.
Archibald was not someone to be underestimated. He was a skilled assassin and a member of the notorious group called the Parish, who were infamous for their loud and brutal methods of elimination.
They were known to take on targets that were at least equal in power to a Pillar member, and they never backed down from a fight.
Chigaru's attacks were powerful, but Archibald was quick to counter each blow. He was adept at reading his opponent's movements and predicting their next move, which gave him an edge in battle.
Archibald's sword strikes were precise and calculated, aimed at weak points in Chigaru's armor or exposed flesh.
As they fought, Archibald couldn't help but taunt Chigaru, hoping to distract her and gain the upper hand. "You're no match for me, bug! Why don't you come and grovel under my feet for mercy?" he jeered, hoping to rile her up.
Chigaru, however, remained focused and determined, her loyalty to the Ruler of Sloth giving her the strength to keep fighting. Despite Archibald's skills and experience, she would not be defeated so easily.
Chigaru's polearm moved swiftly through the air, its sharpened semicircles glinting in the dim light of the battlefield.
Archibald's heart raced as he barely managed to deflect the incoming attack with his broadsword. He knew that Chigaru's strength and skill were formidable, and he was beginning to understand the gravity of the mission he and his group had been hired for.
With his opponent's attack thwarted, Archibald quickly sidestepped, positioning himself for a counterstrike.
"You're no match for us, dog!" he taunted her again, hoping for her to get distract, his voice dripping with contempt. "Why don't you go back to your whore where you belong?"
Chigaru glared at him, her eyes burning with fury. "I serve only the Ruler of Sloth," she spat, whirling her polearm around her body once again. "And I will not be defeated by the likes of you!"
As she lunged forward to deliver a powerful strike, Archibald readied his sword, preparing to meet her blow head-on. The clash of metal echoed through the air as the two combatants battled for supremacy.
Despite his bravado, Archibald knew that the fight would not be easy. The Lord of Lust was one of the most powerful demons in the seven circles, and even if he were young and inexperienced, defeating him would be no mean feat.
And even if they managed to defeat him, they would still have to contend with the Pillar of Sin, the most powerful demons in each of their respective circles.
But Archibald refused to let his doubts and fears overcome him. He was determined to see the mission through to its end, no matter what the cost. And if that meant facing down demons like Chigaru and Yaotl, then so be it.
Chigaru displayed an exceptional mastery of his polearm as he adjusted his grip to meet Archibald's broadsword.
The two weapons clashed against each other with an ear-splitting clang, creating sparks that illuminated the dim battlefield.
In a swift and fluid motion, Chigaru struck Archibald with a series of rapid half-moon slashes, which Archibald struggled to block.
Despite being a renowned assassin, Archibald had never encountered an opponent as skilled as Chigaru.
He was forced to defend himself with all his might, but he knew that he couldn't keep up with the Anubite's speed forever.
As the two fighters locked their weapons in a deadly embrace, it seemed as though their conflict would go on indefinitely.
However, Chigaru's experience and superior strength gave him the upper hand in the battle. He exerted more and more pressure on Archibald's sword, pushing him back towards the edge of the battlefield.
Archibald knew that he was in a precarious position and that any mistake he made could cost him his life.
Their intense struggle continued for what felt like an eternity, but eventually, Chigaru emerged victorious. Archibald was left gasping for air and nursing a few minor injuries, while Chigaru stood tall and proud, his polearm still poised for battle.
Their conflict would continue until either Archibald gave up due to exhaustion or one of the parties committed a fatal error, whichever came first, or until there was interference from a third party.
The battle would continue until one of them made a fatal mistake or until a third party intervened eventually.
At that moment, there were two other battles happening simultaneously, and it seemed like they were coming to an end. Veronica, one of the skilled members of the Parish, was fighting against Orcus, who was representing the Romance of Lust.
