I look around strangely not knowing where to start, as far as my vision can reach in all directions there are just endless ruins in the middle of a white desert, some buildings were more buried in the sand than others forming dunes between parts of the ruins.
This place was a complex area full of shadows and in the sky, there was what looked like a flaming head, it was burning in purple Fire, and yet the sky was green while the scorching light falling in this desert was not any shade of purple, none of that mattered meaning to me.
"Every damn place is stranger than the last." (I)
"" (I)
Before starting anything I create my Aura Relic once again, once again my blood leaves my body along with my Aura forming an illusory image of an Eclipse before returning to my body as a strange liquid energy.
Without being affected by the feeling of power, I began to partially transform my body into that of a Dragon, following the same strategy as before, maintaining a small and agile body to reduce the number of enemies around me.
My body grows just a little, I suddenly feel like the weight on my body is much lighter compared to before, I feel more comfortable using the Aura Relic than when I fought the Undead.
With everything ready I jump from the ruined monument, but before I even reach the ground a humanoid scorpion-like creature comes out of the sand with hundreds of friends coming towards me.
I spread my wings and with a single downward thrust while using my Aura Relic to create a sword in my hand, with my speed I was able to catch them off guard and began to cut down everyone who was weaker than I thought.
Some of them I cut their heads in half, others I split diagonally across the chest, and others I split entirely in half, in the end, they all became pieces of meat on the floor in a matter of seconds.
Before I could finish them all there were already more enemies arriving, suddenly there were thousands of shadows jumping over the ruins, there were also clouds of white sand were rising while many shadows seemed to be running across the desert towards me and I also felt watched by many eyes.
I didn't forget to prepare myself and stay focused on the surroundings not wanting to get into trouble anymore due to carelessness, thanks to that I noticed the movement on my back in time to kick away the much larger scorpion's tail trying to hit me.
I grab that tail and pull, pulling this enemy from the ground where he hides before cutting his body in half with my sword.
Just as before the enemies were mostly unintelligent savages, they are low-level Demons with a wide variety of powers.
I tried dancing between the enemies, but it wasn't helping like it had before, the Demons' powers were much more varied than the Undead, so it was making it difficult to predict their attacks.
That's why I decided to go with a hit and run tactic, I create maximum destruction in a corner always leaving an escape route for myself.
During one of these attacks, I found a more intelligent Demon, he was pretending to be the most idiotic Demons and when I went to cut his head he opened his mouth throwing acid at my head, even so I continued my attack killing him with my tail piercing his head from behind.
I used the complexity of these ruins to be able to move without being surrounded.
I attacked a group of red Minotaurs with bat wings, they were strong and slow by their appearance, but before I reached them I noticed the space around me distort.
The space was shaking as a large hand tried to reach for me only for endless chains surrounded the large hand taking my sight back, but even then there was still a small confusion as all the Demons stood there shaking, it was at that moment that I realized even those who should have been dead on the ground shaking and that included those who were torn to pieces.
"(Aren't they dead?)" (I)
"I wonder if..." (I)
I use a dagger in one hand and use a sword in the other hand running between the paralyzed enemies tearing their bodies to pieces, this time I was paying focused attention to the enemies I was cutting, and thanks to that I realized how useless my fight was until now.
"I don't feel any energy leaving their bodies when they die, they also don't have any cores in their bodies like the Undead." (I)
This time I moved away trying to keep the enemies in my sight, their ranged attacks being easy to dodge for a few seconds, that's when I noticed the remains of the pieces dragging themselves across the white sand to reunite.
"They're not dying... what should I do?" (I)
------------------
2 turns later.
It's been more than two hours and I tried everything while these Demons were dying, but nothing was working, they were still coming back to life, I tried to destroy all their vital points at the same time, I tried to crush their bodies and I even tried to devour one of them with my Aura Relic, but it wasn't working as the energy was coming to me instead of going somewhere else like the death energy.
"(I don't understand how these things don't die.)" (I)
"(They're already dead you idiot!)" (Maid??)
"(Your bodies are as true as an illusion, your bodies are condensing Demonic energy to create bodies for your Souls.)" (Maid??)
"(Stop stalling and finish them off already you bastard... stop it, I don't want to go... NO...)" (Maid??)
"..." (I)
Suddenly the deep voice of that Lion dressed as a Maid appears in my head while I'm ripping out a Demon's heart.
Just as he appeared quickly, his voice disappeared without a trace, but his tip was very good, his voice was panicked at the end for some reason.
"Lets test." (I)
"" (I)
I use a large area Demon magic making countless Demon arms come out of the ground restricting those around, then I get close to the closest Demon and try to use my Authority to create Starfire.
As soon as I grabbed the Demon's head, streams of Stellar flames covered his body, even when I released him, his body was on fire, but it was enough for me to notice the Demonic energy being emitted for the first time before being sucked somewhere.
"Then I just have to burn them all." (I)
"" (I)
I gave this name to a Technique that I just improvised, I created a magic circle from the hilt of the sword and the dagger, meanwhile Spiritual Runes appear on the blades of the two weapons at the same time as a thin layer of flames cover the weapons.
With that I went back to massacring the Demons, this time I didn't even feel the presence of those smarter ones, they were keeping a distance from me when they realized what I did.
But something is wrong, I could feel something lurking in the shadows and suddenly it appears, it looked like a Celestino when I first saw it, but as soon as I dodged his magic getting close to him I was able to confirm that it was a Celestino full of Demonic Energy.
His eyes were ruby red while his wings are brown in color, just like his hair, he had two horns on the sides of his head making spirals.
He started attacking me without caring about the other Demons nearby, but I couldn't get rid of them, his way of fighting was sophisticated to the point that I couldn't get him away from me.
When he came flying towards me it was an illusion while his body was a step behind ready to attack the opening I left.
He was fast and wasted no time talking as his attacks became more and more relentless, as soon as I tried to use my tail for a surprise attack on him, he grabbed my hand.
I smile as I pull him closer and rip off one of his wings with my teeth, while I open my mouth making a Star Flame cover his body, I end up kicking him away, making room for something getting closer and when I saw it, it was another cloud of Demons grouped together.
With that I realized that the fight would be much worse than I imagined, the enemies were now smarter and were divided into several groups.
Everyone was looking at me without coming close, each of them seemed to be using some kind of magic.
I wouldn't be able to escape them and that's why I decided to end up like everyone else in style.
"How many do I still need to kill?" (I)
The enemies won't wait for me to attack, so I tried attacking the group of Demon monsters, so when the others started attacking, it actually just helped me.
The battle was coming together, and more and more intelligent Demons were gathering here, I have to end this soon, but I don't think large-scale magic is the solution to my problems.
"I have to burn you." (I)
