His shadow manipulation skills were far more advanced than she had thought, and he was able to create a weapon out of his own body to catch her off guard.
She knew she had to be more cautious and focused if she wanted to stand a chance against him in battle.
"Thus you meet your end. Because your heart has been pierced and your life will from this point on amount to nothing, I would advise you to say your goodbyes since that is exactly what I am doing right now. Thank you so much for everything, Ms Veronica Deloes Astar." Orcus said to Veronica.
Orcus's words sent chills down Veronica's spine as she clutched at her chest, trying to stop the blood from pouring out of her wound.
Despite the excruciating pain she was experiencing, she couldn't help but notice the lack of emotion in Orcus's voice. It was as if he was simply stating a fact, not reveling in her demise.
Veronica couldn't help but wonder how Orcus was capable of being so impartial in the face of taking someone's life.
However, she couldn't afford to ponder it for too long, as her vision was starting to blur, and her strength was fading. The wound on her chest was causing her to lose blood at an alarming rate, and she knew that her time was running out.
As she gasped for air, Veronica tried to think of a way to escape Orcus's grasp, but it seemed like all hope was lost. Orcus was a formidable opponent, and he had clearly bested her in this fight.
Despite her misgivings, Veronica couldn't help but admire Orcus's unwavering commitment to fairness and justice. It was a trait that she herself possessed, and it was something that she respected in others.
As her vision started to fade, Veronica's last thought was of the friends and family she was leaving behind. She had led a good life, and she was content knowing that she had fought for what she believed in until the very end.
Veronica's mind was focused on comprehending the recent turn of events, as she struggled to make sense of how Orcus had managed to outsmart her.
It was only upon careful reflection that she realized what had occurred. It seemed that Orcus had deliberately detached his leg from his body and then hidden it from her view.
He had then created a convincing illusion by manipulating his shadow to make it appear as if he was still whole, even though he was not.
This had led Veronica to believe that she had the upper hand, and she had started taunting him.
It was at this precise moment that Orcus had taken advantage of her distraction to strike. Using his powers of shadow manipulation, he had transformed the severed leg into a sharp harpoon tip and had driven it straight into Veronica's heart.
Despite the pain and discomfort of having his leg severed, Orcus had remained calm and calculated, biding his time for the perfect moment to strike.
Once he had succeeded in delivering the killing blow, he had effortlessly reconnected his leg to the rest of his body, removing any signs of injury.
Despite the shock of being outsmarted by Orcus, Veronica couldn't help but be impressed by his ingenuity and resourcefulness.
She had always known that he was a formidable opponent, but she had underestimated his abilities.
It was a harsh lesson, but one that she would never forget, and she resolved to be more cautious and vigilant in the future.
"E-Elizabeth... I can't let you come out on top. The similarities between you and I are striking, Reginald. Thaddeus, I-I continue to have zero interest in you... Ar-Archibald I-," Veronica's voice was strained as she struggled to speak.
She addressed Elizabeth, Reginald, and Thaddeus, acknowledging their similarities and expressing her lack of interest in Thaddeus.
However, her words were cut short as blood filled her throat, causing her to choke and gasp for air.
Her desperate attempts to stay alive were in vain as she knew she was near her end. Veronica's last wish was to say goodbye to Archibald, but she was unable to complete her sentence.
"VERONICA!!! Y... Yo...u... You fucker, you scumbag, you bastard, motherfucking cretin. I am SO GOING to murder you." Upon witnessing Veronica's demise, Archibald was filled with a sense of fury that he had never experienced before.
He directed his anger towards Chigaru, the Ignorance of Sloth, who he had been fighting with earlier.
"HAWH! I'm DONE WITH YOU!" His vow to avenge Veronica was fierce, and he promised to make Chigaru pay for her death.
In a fit of rage, Archibald summoned all his strength and delivered a powerful strike towards Chigaru, ending their battle.
The scene was chaotic, with Archibald's outburst causing turmoil all around. The anger he felt towards Chigaru for taking Veronica's life was evident, and he was not afraid to express it.
His actions were uncharacteristic of an incubus, but he was not thinking rationally at that moment. The loss of Veronica had affected him deeply, and he was determined to get justice for her.
Despite the immense power behind Archibald's attack, Chigaru's magical abilities allowed him to withstand the force of the blow.
This surprised the Anubite, who was taken aback by the incubus's sudden display of strength. Despite this setback, Archibald refused to relent and continued to fight on.
The impact of Archibald's attack sent Chigaru tumbling to the ground, causing him to lose his balance. The force of the strike also shattered the polearm of the Anubite into three separate pieces.
