BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!

A sky splitting explosion resounded through the whole place as a figure came crashing straight out of the sky.

"Cruor! You’re disappointing me! After all that talk! Is that all you’ve got?" I called out, looking at the figure that had crashed into the ground.

"Damn it!!!" The demon roared as it blasted straight through the dust cloud, rising into the sky to meet me.

"HUMANNNNN!!!!"

BANG!!!

A slap shot the demon straight back down.

"Watch your mouth when you speak to me."

The whole place had gone dead silent.

It had only been what? A second or two? Yet I’d already sent what was probably the highest ranking demon here flying twice. The sheer disbelief in the air was palpable.

"HUMANNNNNN!!!!" The red skinned cruor blasted the dust clouds apart as it stood, its full 10-foot frame looking more and more menacing.

"You’ll pay for that!"

"Heh! All I hear is you yapping, is this all that the law integration stage has to offer? Or are you just a phenomenally weak example?" My disappointment was real.

The old man had been such a hard to fight opponent that I hadn’t even been able to force him to use that form he used during the trials.

Compared to him, all these so called law stage experts were nothing but cotton balls.

"You two! What are you doing standing around for? Join me in taking this human down!" Cruor roared, rousing the other two.

They exchanged glances, before.

BOOOOOM!!!

All three moved.

The moment they did, the silent battlefield suddenly exploded into action, the throngs of soldiers rushing forward, yet before I could make any moves to intercept,

"Ice blossom art: Morning bloom."

A beautiful voice echoed on the battlefield as a myriad number of ice swords bloomed like flowers in spring.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

They swung down, taking out rows of rushing demons.

"Heh! Just go get those bastards, you can leave the small fries to me." Khalifa’s voice sounded right beside me as she appeared before me, her form flickering once as she dove headfirst into the throng of rushing demons, not minding onebit about the overwhelming numbers.

I watched her move, taking out multiple demons with each single swing of her sword, before finally directing my attention to the three waiting figures in the sky.

"Alright. Let’s get this over with fast." My wings spread out, and then.

BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

I launched upward like a furious missile,

"One punch..." my voice echoed as Thunder as I watched the three ready their defenses, but it was all futile,

"One million punches.."

BOO...BOO..BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

The sky exploded as an uncountable number of fist strikes landed on the three figures before they could even understand what was happening.

SPLAT!!!!

The armored figure, the one from earlier immediately exploded into blood mist.

SPLAT!! SPLAT!!!

The two blood demons following right after,

"Hmm.. that was.." I couldn’t complete the thought as the blood around me suddenly condensed, split, then reformed into the figures of the two blood demon elders, only this time, there were four of them instead.

"Oho? Interesting..."

"Heh! Human. You’ll have to do better than that if you wish to kill us." The second elder sneered,

"Oh don’t worry," I looked down, at Khalifa’s laughing figure as she cut down demons left and right, her manic laughter filling the air, "I’ve got plenty of time to spare." I smiled at the two demons and then,

"Air cannon!" I released my fist, a punch detonating the air as the newly formed figures of the two elders was instantly obliterated, yet before I could even take a breather,

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The blood gathered together once more, split, then reformed back into the figures of the two blood demons, only now there were eight, four of cruor, and four more of the other one.

"Kekekekekeke.... Give up human."

"You have never faced anything like us before."

"Surrender and your end might be less painful.."

The multiple figures spoke simultaneously, ugly smiles in their faces.

Crack! Crack!

An interested smile had already appeared on my face as I encountered this weird scenario.

"Okay. Now you’ve got my attention. Let’s see how long you can keep that up." I took a stance.

"GET HIM!!!!!" The two elders, now eight figures, rushed at me, weapons raised.

"Hooo..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

My hands moved in a blur of motion.

No skills.

No abilities.

No laws.

Just raw strenght and brute force.

Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat!

The consecutive sounds of figures turning into blood mist reached my ears yet I didn’t relent, because,

"Kekekekekekekekekekekek....."

"Give up... give up.."

"You’ll never be able to get rid of us.."

"Kekekekekekekekekek..."

The elders were still reforming.

Each death saw them come back to life.

For each blood elder killed, two more took its place, talk about hydra.

"Heh!" I couldn’t help chuckling at the thought.

"You still dare to laugh???"

"Let’s see how you handle it when your blood disobeys."

The moment the demon said that, I could feel my blood flow suddenly halt, yet the moment that happened..

Rooooarrrrrrrrrr!!!!! My very being roared. My blood suddenly boiling in furious agitation, as everything went white. And when the world returned, the figures of the two demons were gone, nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of them being left behind.

"Wha..what just happened?"

...

The moment the demon elder, cruor had tried taking control of Dante’s blood,

<SON OF CHAOS is activating...>

His blood roared and snapped as the whole world suddenly paused.

"WHO DARES!!!!"

"Blerghhhhh..."

Splat! Splat! Splat!!!!

All the figures of cruor, the blood demon elder exploded into blood mist, and once the demon returned, its eyes were wide in disbelief.

"Im...impossible."

"Filthy demon scum. You dare try to take hold of MY blood? INSOLENCE!" The roar that tore out his throat immediately sent the entire world trembling, all the figures of the two demon elders bleeding profusely from all their orifices.

"Toy with filth and they suddenly decide to overstep themselves."

"For your audacity, you shall no longer be allowed to exist in this world,"

A beat passed and then,

"Despair...."

The moment the words left Dante’s mouth, the two demon’s began crumbling, bodies turning into pieces of grey ash that scattered in the stale wind.

"Know your place! Filth!"

Saying so, his eyes went white then they returned to their natural golden color, confusion clear on his face,

"Wha... what just happened."

.......

Again.

The first time might have been a coincidence, but for this same sensation of being out of touch with the world to occur once more, there has to be something wrong.

"Syste..."

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

A chilling scream instantly made my blood run cold.

I turned swiftly, and my face immediately went white.

"KHALIFAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
