Our bodies began to free-fall back into the atmosphere. I hit my opponent's back, causing a booming sound again, pushing her away from me.
I dived at her. But when I was about to give a punch, she caught my body again. We wrestled and tried to hit each other in the face while our diving speed increased, and my body continued to be enveloped in heat.
"I'm the real demon lord!!! I…"
I banged my head on her face before she finished speaking. "Shut up!"
We have entered the sky, past the clouds, but our bodies are still enveloped in that heat.
We both look like falling meteors.
I'm still trying to free myself, but she still insists on locking my body.
"We'd better die together!" She snapped. "It doesn't matter if I have to be reborn hundreds of years later. It will only feel like a moment for me! Just like sleep!"
Shit. I just realized. If Hiana is a true demon lord from this world, then there's a possibility that she'll be the first to be reborn.
She doesn't have anyone, unlike me. This bitch doesn't mind rising again hundreds of years in the future.
We passed through thick clouds, and after that, I saw a mountain peak with a crater of lava and thick smoke.
I beat my enemy more and more intensely, but she didn't fight back and instead tightened her submission to me.
"Let's end this with a bang!!!" The demon woman laughed hard.
We are getting closer to the crater.
Shit.
After that, I don't know what happened. As soon as we landed on that thing, I heard a gigantic explosion sound, my body flew and circled in the air, and all I saw was gray smoke accompanied by flying rocks.
All kinds of pain wrapped around me.
My body hit hard on the descending ground, rolled into the trees, and only stopped as soon as I hit a large rock.
"Fuck." I whimpered, trying to get up. And as soon as I raised my head, I saw a stream of lava rushing at me.
There's no time to dodge.
I screamed aloud as the knee-deep lava flow hit me. Not only my feet but my whole body felt the heat.
I pushed against the boulder again and quickly climbed over it. On that thing, I knelt down and caught my breath.
I was surprised that I could still survive, even though I had been subjected to senseless abuse.
If I'm still alive, won't that demon woman also die?
"It turns out that we can survive!" Hiana suddenly jumped from the lava and landed in front of me, her body smoking.
"Your plan is so stupid!" I smacked her in the face, and she hit back right away.
Because we were exhausted, our movements became sluggish. Our blows were less sharp than before, although they still generated booms that set off waves in the lava flow.
"You are even more stubborn than the prophets!" She punched my face, causing us to stagger. "They will retreat first and come up with a new strategy to defeat me!"
I responded with a kick to the stomach. "That's because I believe I can finish you now!"
The lava flow was getting higher. I have to finish this quickly. So, I caught her body, lifted her high, and slammed her down.
Due to the enormous impact, the rock we were standing on broke, causing me to stagger. Fortunately, there are still some of the rock that I can still walk on.
Hiana stood up, and something strange happened to her. Black streaks like electricity filled her body, and suddenly she couldn't move.
"What the fuck is this!" She panicked, and it sounded like a beautiful song in my ear.
Seems like every hit I give her has a special effect. And that effect accumulates in her body and only becomes active when there's a lot of it.
With an exhausted breath, I gathered the last of my power into my right hand, causing it to emit dense black smoke.
"Eat this." I hissed, dashed toward my enemy, and punched her chest with all my might.
The resulting boom set off huge waves in the lava flow while Hiana's body was thrown into the sky.
But this isn't enough. This time I concentrated my power on both legs, making them emit dense black smoke too.
As soon as I jumped, I could hear a loud bang as the stone I was standing on had completely shattered.
I blitzed to Hiana in the air, twisted my body, then kicked the demon woman's body as hard as possible.
Like a volleyball being smashed, her body dived hard and caused an explosion of dirt which created a giant crater.
Meanwhile, my body also fell downwards. I bumped into the branches of large trees and finally landed on the ground.
"Damn it." The pain in my body was unbearable, but I had to check on Hiana's condition and ensure she had lost. Even though I really want to rest.
So, I forced myself to stand up, not caring that the joints in my body felt like they would dislodge. As I was about to walk, I felt that my pain was multiplying.
Every step I take is torture.
It took me several minutes until I finally arrived at the crater, finding Hiana lying in the middle.
I surfed down the crater, then approached the demon woman. Many wounds have filled her whole body.
She muttered. "Remember this, I will defeat you after I am reborn hundreds of years in the future."
"I doubt it." I knelt down, unable to move my body anymore. "I will destroy your circle of rebirth, so you won't be able to interfere with this world anymore."
"Could you really do that?"
I called Ayre. "Hey, did you see the second explosion after the volcanic eruption? I was there. Come here and prepare for the ritual."
Hiana was silent for a moment. "What are you going to do, bastard?"
"You will find out." I held her head. "One thing is clear, this will probably be worse than the nothingness you've ever felt."
Suddenly she choked me, but her strength was too weak, so I could brush her off easily.
I put my mouth close to the side of her head, where the ear should be. "This is what you get for messing with me."
That woman, who claimed to be the real demon lord, started shaking and couldn't speak. I found it amusing.
