The sudden change in the bravado from the demon had the whole place silent. And most importantly the boy they thought the worse has come to, is not only alive but he changed into some kind of beast as well.
"No longer exist huh, well colour yourself lucky, one is about to make you no longer exist"
With a raise in hands the Mouha materialised. Dripping with chaos energy mixed with anti matter.
"Let's have another round shall we, this time I shoot first"
With a cutting motion of the scythe from a distance. A shadow quickly engulfed him. Next thing he reappeared next to the demon. A blade brought with energy aimed right at the demon's chest. The demon didn't have the chance to look but it instinctively restricted itself from its location. By the time it reappeared from a distance away. Its left leg and hand were missing.
In its eyes, shock and fear were fully displayed. As if looking at relics of the past trying to snatch away your life.
"You sure are brave. Do you know what would happen if your existence were to be known by the heavens?"
"You talk too much"
Alex, raised his hand, rocks started to levitate right before his face. With a swing of his weapon, the rocks were imbued with chaos and anti matter energy. All headed right at the demon. Seeing the fierce attack about to reach. It used its high body strength and quick flexibility to sway right around the attack like a snake. Wherever the attacks touched. A small part of it disintegrates.
The General and the other soldiers were still trying to make sense of what they were looking at. They held deep fear especially now they realise that they were staying with what they could call a fallen.
"It is as the legends say, Your kind has unbelievable power. But it would seem you are still wet behind your ears"
The Demon could perfectly see the inexperience as it fought Alex, From what it could see, he still has ways to go.
"Don't leave me out the fun"
The General came. The two joined hands. The General's experience with Alex's fire power. The demon tried many times to target Alex. But unlike last time Alex was able to match up with the demon in speed.
With every aria slash of the Scythe. One part of the demon gets slashed off then regenerates. Alex was getting used to his new body and his old experience as a jumper was coming in handy.
The Demon seemed to be getting slow but so was the General. His explosive strength seems to be putting a strain on his body.
'To hell with this'
Alex spread the ground with his shadow and started to skate on it. With the radius of his shadow he could disappear from one point and reappear from another. The Scythe started to feel like a part of him, an extension of his body.
For the first time since the battle started the Demon was being pushed back. The General kept him on his ties while Alex kept him on high Alex, the level of fatigue weighing on him was staggering.
Demon Art…
Just as he was about to unleash his strength to the max, a hole suddenly appeared on his chest. When he turned to look who was responsible. Trister was already far away. Taking advantage of his distraction, Alex quickly unleashed a wave of chaos energy in the tip of his weapon and threw the weapon right at the Demon. When the demon turned back. It saw a scythe already piecing its heart.
With that it fell down, The anti matter fighting to devour it but the regeneration kept it at bay. But from the looks of it. The Demon was already low on power and this was just a last ditch effort.
Up in the sky, the moment The lesser frame sprite saw that its master was about to get defeated, it started to nose dive down, ready to knock down the enemy and catch the Demon just in time to get away. Unfortunately, this plan only seemed possible.
"I'm tired of fighting so why don't you just…"
With a wave of his hand his shadow turned into a slash, perfectly cutting the creature in half. Then he slowly walked towards it. His hand out. A soul came out.

'Impressive. One type 7 got me as many stats as 15 type 2 fallen.'
Then he turned back, the Demon was on its last bit of strength.
"I have a question for you, How much of my kind do you know"
Cough couch.
"Not much, all I know is, now that one of you have appeared, the Gods and Demons will stop at nothing to hunt you down"
"Gods and Demons? Aren't they supposed to be eternal enemies or something?"
The General stood on the side not interfering, this might be the only time he will receive such valuable intel into the unknown.
"Hahahaha, You ignorance is too adorable cough! You really believe in that crap. Let me tell you one thing, yes the two world can't mix, but there's been one thing that always bring them together"
"A demonic fallen Angel?"
"Bingo, Your kind is an abomination to the currents of reality, you have no restraints or law acting against you. It's almost as if the world itself is trying to help your kind, They are unlimited potential and if they go unchecked, they could become something that could destroy the rules of reality as we know them
But most important of all is that all demonic fallen angels are corrupted. Once they have a belief in something it drives them, even if it means becoming the enemy of the world. So your kind aren't meant to exist."
Alex smiled, walked towards the demon. And squatted down.
"Why are you telling all of this so readily?"
Ahahahaha
The demon gave a triumphant belly laugh.
"Well I was buying time, Unfortunately I can't do much more than just send a simple mental image. My death will bring ruin not only to you, but the lives of p.."
Splat!
A foot in a mix of blood and brain matter, Alex couldn't stand it anymore. He turned and looked at the General.
"I'm guessing you wish to speak with me"
"You think?"
"As a guest or… prisoner"
As he spoke, his weapon quickly jumped off the ground and into his hands. The General saw that and a smile formed on his face.
"Where are you really in an underground bunker?"
"You and I both know that, those are lies by this point"
"You'd be right about that"
The General walked towards him and stretched his hand out.
"As a guest"
Alex nodded and turned his head to look at the demon.
He raised his arm ready to extract the soul.
Soul Devoured.
Failed to gain an additional skill
Soul energy +19

'Well at least I got something worth while from this'
Mike could feel his body gain strength and energy. His chaos power more pure than before, He could feel that his shadow pool could now spread at least 500 meters radius. That would work perfectly against an army of enemies, His soul energy even allows him to extend his telekinesis skill to 300 meter radius now.
Compared to when he fought the Lilicorn. He bet now he could one shot it without relying on tricks.
On the side, the General could feel Alex's presence grow. His shadow became thicker and his aura grew more intimidating.
'No matter what, I can not afford to make him our enemy'
Alex looked at the General before he smiled.
"Do forgive me, it seems I wasted your time, shall we go?"
The General opened a communicator and put it into his mouth.
"This is the General speaking, the thread has been taken cared of, turn off the portal disrupters"
"Roger that"
Next thing the General opened a portal. Seeing this, Alex's body changed and reverted back to its human form. Seeing this The General just smiled and gesture him to follow behind,
At the battlefield, those who were watching couldn't believe their eyes. They thought they had another fight in their hands.
"Just what did we bring back to the settlement with us? Did you hear that, that thing called him a demonic fallen angel, isn't that like, double bad?"
Mike spoke with urgency in his voice.
Miley never took her eyes off the place they disappeared at, her mind lost as if in the middle of thinking something
"Don't jump to conclusions. You saw that the general even invited him. There's more to this story than your conspiracy theory. Miley speak to him"
Mildred's words jolted Miley out of her day dreaming.
"Wg.. What?"
Mildred shook his head.
"The clean up crew is coming soon, we will help them, then try to find answers, how is that?"
Both Mike and Miley nodded their heads
