Akilla had gathered all the Awakeners that had entered the capital city with the help of the knights. She used her status as an Awakener and promised the knights to end the era of the demons. At the same time, she gathered information about the demons in the capital city with the same method she used in the previous village.
"This is bad. In the village, we even had to deal with more than half of them and knowing the population of the capital city which is more than half a million, we're going to fight hundreds of thousands of demons," Akilla said to her team.
She realized if she had to involve the knights and even the senates, it would only put her plan in jeopardy. She knew on the scale of a capital city, the demons must have infiltrated the government, and she even suspected that the emperor was one of them.
"What are we going to do, Miss?" A man in similar attire as Akilla asked.
"We are going to do this behind their backs, and make sure to tell the others about this. We can't trust anyone, even the people of the capital. We have to move fast before they're suspicious of us," Akilla answered as she glanced at the people around her. "We are on our own, so do it stealthily without getting noticed by everyone," Akilla continued.
When Akilla was about to go and tell the other Awakeners about her plan, the ground shook and everyone fell to their knees. She looked at the Colosseum and saw the smoke coming from there.
"What the hell is happening over there?! Don't tell me..." Akilla paused and suddenly smiled. "This is a perfect chance for us to move. Everyone's attention is going to be focused on that Colosseum," Akilla talked to herself.
Akilla ordered her team to start the plan while everyone's attention was occupied by the Colosseum. They all started to move while the knights tried to check what was happening to the Colosseum.
(Inside the Colosseum)
"I agreed to join, but who would have thought that you would immediately throw a punch at me?" Lucifer asked as his right hand trembled and tried his best to stop Mykel before his foot crushed Lucifer's face from the right side.
"The only opponent who is fun to play with is only you. I told you didn't I? We are going to spar here and see how strong the barrier that the system provided," Mykel answered as he retracted his left leg and spun around to throw a heel kick at Lucifer.
The arena was on the brink of collapsing thanks to the aftershock of his kick and Lucifer's hand colliding. All the gladiators in the arena were either dead from the shockwave or dying, but some of them survived. The spectators got protected by the invisible barrier and didn't feel a thing except for a fierce wind that struck their faces.
Lucifer dodged all Mykel's attacks and it made Mykel a bit excited since finally there was someone who could spar with him on the same footing. Although Lucifer seemed to be equal in the eyes of the spectators, he was trying his best to not die in a single hit from Mykel's attack.
"If you want an equal fight, how about I make you lose one of your limbs?" Lucifer asked but at the same time activated his [Nihilikinesis] and erased Mykel's left arm existence.
"Are you being serious?" Mykel asked as he looked at his missing arm.
Lucifer dashed and punched Mykel in the gut with his left fist, and then sent him to the other side of the arena. The gladiators who survived started to take the opportunity to kill him while he was still on the ground. He then slammed his hand on the ground to lift himself up while at the same time destroying the ground around him and making the gladiators lose their footing.
"You got your chance," Mykel said as he watched the gladiators struggle to stand.
Mykel looked at the sword on the ground next to his foot and used [Telekinesis] then started slaughtering the gladiators. He sent an axe, spear, and even a flail flying around and took care of all the remaining gladiators that survived.
All the spectators watching Mykel easily took care of all of the gladiators without even looking. He casually walked as the weapons slaughtered the bodies of the gladiators.
Not everyone cheered for what Mykel did. Some of them saw their dads, brothers, and uncles being slaughtered. They knew it was going to happen someday, but having to sacrifice their loved ones in exchange for freedom, it felt unfair to them.
Mykel controlled all the weapons in the arena as he walked toward Lucifer. The weapons slowly spread around and disappeared into thin air, but then they all reappeared right around Lucifer and started to attack him.
Lucifer tried to destroy those that were in his range, but the weapons disappeared again. He noticed that Mykel had been using [Telekinesis] and [Spatiokinesis] at the same time. He then decided to use [Nihilikinesis] to erase all the weapons, but all the weapons disappeared.
Lucifer looked around and was ready to erase any weapon that appeared, but suddenly all the weapons appeared right in his body. All the weapons pierced his body and it didn't hurt since his body couldn't feel pain, but it affected his movement.
Mykel knew the weapons wouldn't be able to Pierce Lucifer's tough skin of a Celestial being. So he used a trick and spawned all the weapons inside Lucifer's body with [Spatiokinesis].
"Didn't you say you're going to spare with just brute strength?" Lucifer asked as he pulled out all the weapons and used [Nihilikinesis] to erase them all.
"You're the one who used an ability, let's just say we are even now," Mykel said as he looked at his left shoulder and had a bit of phantom pain.
"In the end, words mean nothing in battle, huh? Since there are no Awakeners, there's no need for me to hide this," Lucifer said and then pulled out his six wings from his back.
Everyone gasped and started to whisper to each other. They were talking about the appearance of a God while the others were terrified of those wings. The demons knew to whom those wings belonged, and they were trembling in fear by it.
Lucifer flew toward Mykel and transferred all his strength to his fist then punched Mykel right in the face. Unfortunately, Mykel blocked it off with his right hand and grabbed Lucifer's fist. He then pulled Lucifer closer and kneed him right into Lucifer's chest.
Lucifer looked at his hollow chest, but then Mykel wrapped his right arm around his neck and slammed him to the ground. His wings weren't only helping him to fly, but they were also a powerful weapon on his back. He folded his wings and immediately spread them and whipped them at Mykel. It was enough to throw him away from Lucifer.
Mykel activated the [True Daemon] and showed his wings to the spectators as well. They were dumbfounded and didn't know what to react to anymore. He then flew toward Lucifer and they both exchanged blows as the barrier tried to stop the shockwave and the impact of both of their bodies from hitting the barrier.
The smoke covered everyone's vision and they couldn't see anything but the sound of punches and the shockwaves.
Mykel finally got used to his strength and speed, and it was done for Lucifer since he couldn't run anywhere. He accepted his fate when Mykel kicked him to the barrier and threw a straight punch at Lucifer.
The smoke slowly disappeared, and the only one left that stood on the remaining side of the arena was Mykel. He put his wings back and waited for Hemios to come to the arena as he cleaned the dust off his suit and trousers. He was quite surprised that the barrier could withstand his punch.
The gate was open and saw a demon holding a giant round shield and spear in full plate armor made of gold. Mykel looked at him as the crowds finally saw the Demon Lord who had conquered their world. The silence made everyone realize how terrified Hemios was by the sound of the clanking armor and how the shield trembled.
"You have no will to fight anymore?" Mykel asked as he approached Hemios.
"Mercy!" Hemios said as he went to his knees and removed the spear and shield from his hands.
"You asked the wrong person for mercy," Mykel smiled as he held Hemios' head with that five times the size of his hand. He then crushed it into pulp.
