Extra And MC-Chapter 205 - 201 - Despair

-CLANG-!

-PANG-!!

-SWOOSH-!!!

Moving at an accelerated speed synonymous to the speed of sound, Xavier and Beelzebub, clashed across the expanse of the moon!

-BOOM-!!!

Wherever their destructive attacks collided, a portion of the moon’s terrain was obliterated!

-BOOM-!!!

And yet, none, seemed to have had the upper hand over the other…

At least, that’s how it should’ve been.

-CLANG-!!

Clashing once again, a walloping burst of compressed air, emanating from their formless weapons of Aether and Nether, both pale-blue and dark-red, respectively, Beelzebub stated with a devious grin;

"You’re getting slower."

"And you’d better think again."

No sooner had Xavier given that response full of unbridled hatred that was so intense in his cold blue eyes, he instantly, melded into the atmosphere like a wave of energy, {Twilight Waltz} in effect.

Whipping around at a blurring speed, The Demon King raised up his weapon in time to deflect Xavier’s attack!

-PANG-!!

Taking the opportunity to counterattack, Beelzebub slashed downwards with a terrifying speed, only to watch Xavier disappear like a flowing wave of mist again.

Yet, the aftereffect of The Demon King’s attack, left devastation in its wake!

-BOOM-!!!

Once again, the pale-colored terrain of the moon was obliterated, leaving behind a deep, kilometer, long gorge!

Appearing from his peripheral vision this time, Xavier executed a lateral slash, slicing through the dust to behead The Demon King!

-SWISH-!

Still, Beelzebub effortlessly reacted in time, blocking the attack with pinpoint accuracy!

-PANG-!!

Once again, the two individuals met themselves at a deadlock, neither unable to one up the other, another pressurized burst of wind, emanating from their clash!

-FWOOOSSSHHH-!!!

Almost as if knowing the other was going to be casting a spell, both had instantly used a counter spell.

’[Time Dilation].’

’[Dark Surge].’

Simultaneously, the casted spells, canceled the other out, relegating both to return to their continuous onslaught of trying to one up the other.

Spells, unfortunately, in their case, was more of a hindrance than anything else since they could both easily counter the other’s attacks.

That was why, battling the old fashioned way, one that could result in a serious injury if they landed an attack on the other, became their go to form of battle.

And so, as they fought on with the intent to kill, their speeds dizzying, one that the average human could only liken to as sparks of pale-blue and dark-red energies colliding constantly, Beelzebub and Xavier constantly destroyed more and more portions of the moon’s terrain.

-CLANG-!

-BOOM-!!

-PANG-!

-BOOM-!!

-TWANG-!

-BOOM-!!

"Given a few more years, maybe you’d have reached the heights that Amael did." Beelzebub said to Xavier, their weapons clashing in another deadlock!

-KABOOM-!!!

"But, unfortunately, this is going to end in your loss." The Demon King, declared with a cold gaze.

For some reason or the other, compared to when they had first started out this long, long battle that had been going on for more than two hours now, both had been equally matched in strength, with The Demon King, edging out by just a tiny bit.

However, as the battle went on, Xavier’s reactions had gotten a tad bit slower and slower, one that Beelzebub finally took the opportunity to exploit.

-SCHWIP-!!

Switching his formless weapon to a whip, one that caught Xavier off-guard, The Demon King, had the weapon extend from a distance to coil around the man whom was trying to dash backwards!

TWHIP-!!

Occurring in a fraction of a second, unable to react, Xavier watched as Beelzebub, yanked him, back towards himself with a dizzying speed!

Right in range for an unavoidable attack, Beelzebub’s hands, churned with a destructive orb of nether energy and fired at point blank!

-BAM-!!

Colliding with Xavier whom had coated himself with a layer of Aether at the last minute, mostly due to his inability to properly use his spells due to the dark whip interfering with it, Xavier found himself flung across the expanse of space with a resounding boom!

-TWOOOOM-!!!

Recovering in the fraction of a second, Xavier was unfortunately, a tad bit too late as he watched Beelzebub whom was already before him again, firing the exact same spell he had previously fired with a cold gaze.

"[Destructive Series: Malevolent Impact]."

This time, the ominous orb of nether energy, expanded to the size of a basketball, obviously far more powerful than the last as it exploded against an unprotected Xavier.

-KABOOM-!!

And yet, as the EX-ranker felt the effects of a previously casted spell, unknown to Beelzebub but was the cause for his lowered reaction speed, whilst also losing consciousness, he watched as Beelzebub, launched himself towards him with murderous intent whilst casting the same spell again.

"[Destructive Series: Malevolent Impact]."

* * *

As the war raged on the Frontline and Qilos Republic’s shoreline, the humans were slowly, starting to push back!

The gigantic golem Astaroth had created, had met its match in the form of Hela’s titanic form.

The rankers of the shorelines, were pushing back the opposition and their spirits, were ignited.

As for the Frontlines, all of the Demon Generals, met their matches in the form of Arcanora’s Powerhouses, most of whom were from Arcadia.

Due to this, the humans, started to believe that they were finally, winning this war.

However, as their battle cries filled the entire area, they soon heard a resounding boom, ripple across the expanse of the skies!

-BOOOOOOOOOM-!!!

Garnering the attention of everyone, they watched as two colors of light, pale-blue and dark-red, hurtled from the skies like a shooting star!

No sooner had that happened, everyone watched as both figures, crashed straight into the body of water that separated the Frontlines from the shorelines.

-SPLOOOSH-!!!

Following that, a gargantuan explosion ensued.

-KABOOOOMMM-!!!

Instantly, the expansive body of frosty water, along with the sudden tsunami it had created, was rendered, an instant vapor of gas and fog!

-FUASSSSHHH…

By now, everyone on the battlefield, was forced to give their attention to the cause of such a destructive phenomenon, all of them waiting in wary anticipation.

Was it someone that was on their side that had been the cause of it?

That was what both sides wanted to know.

A few seconds later, they got their answer.

As the entirety of the fog slowly cleared, everyone watched as The Demon King, slowly levitated into the air, all whilst holding Xavier by the neck.

The moment this became apparent to everyone, the reactions varied.

For the demon kin, their joy was evident as they watched their Liege, make a statement to the human race.

A statement that basically meant; ’Your strongest warrior is gone. What will you do now?’

Seeing this, most of them began to rejoice, knowing fully well that this war was as good as theirs even despite their thinned out numbers.

As for the humans, they instantly realized that, they were, quite literally, screwed.

Watching the sight before them with fear, watching as Beelzebub, twisted Xavier’s neck and tossed it away like a ragdoll, it served, only to amplify their despair even more.

Gazing at the sight below him, watching as the faces of the humans paled, Beelzebub, released a terrifying, world-threatening, wave of bloodlust across the expanse of the entire battlefield.

-WHAAAAAMMM-!!!

Instantly, every single person on the Frontlines, friend or foe, save for the SSS-rankers amongst them and His Generals, buckled underneath the pressure, the fear gripping them by the neck and threatening to make them pass out.

Even the SSS-rankers and the Demon Generals who were withstanding the pressure, were unable to move a single muscle, the chilling fear running through their entire beings, rooting them to the spot.

It was quite literally, a show and a display of power, mostly to the humans, one that served to drive home a single point.

’You can’t win against me. Give up.’

However, as if that was just the beginning of their despair, The Demon King, without reeling in his bloodlust, snapped his fingers with a cold gaze.

Instantly, the already reddened, eerie, crimson skies, shattered with a resounding fracturing sound to reveal another army of demons.

This wave, most of which composed of high-tiered, winged demons, populated the expanse of the skies, their numbers in millions!

At the exact same time, fissures also began to appear on the Frontlines, another wave of demons, marching out of it and onto the expanse of Frontlines!

This, finally, pushed the humans into utter despondency.

Some rankers on the Frontlines, even had their weapons fall from their hands whilst others, crashed onto the grounds on their knees.

The same thing, also happened on the shorelines, the rankers, wondering what all their sacrifices were for if all the previous waves had only been the least of the Demon King’s troops.

As the youths of Arcadia also watched the sight before them, along with all of their parents who were situated in various aspects of the battlefield, a single thought came to their heads;

’This is the end.’

Watching the humans below him, their spirits broken and their hopes crushed, the expression in Beelzebub’s pitch-black sclera morphed into a wicked glint as he casted a spell;

’[Destructive Series: Oblivion].’

Raising a palm up to the skies, the vicious reddish-black energy, morphing into an eerie-purplish hue, the rankers of Arcanora, watched as a gigantic ball of energy, akin to the size of a small moon, emanated from Beelzebub’s very being.

Casting a dreary, ominous shadow over everything in sight, The Demon King spoke, his tone of choice, cold, powerful and authoritative;

"Despair, humans."

As his raspy voice echoed throughout the expanse of the battlefield, threatening to completely kill off whatever hopes the humans had, a singular voice from the heavens, cascaded into everyone’s ears;

"{Moonveil Art – Third Form: Starshower}."
