’Would I have had a chance if it was the real me ?’

Kaiser could not help but ask himself the question while looking at the corpse of the first demon lying at his feet, its head torn off and its entrails spilling onto the arid ground.

But he did not have time to think about that for the moment..

"Well, what if we finished this quickly,"

These superior rank demons were more imposing than the previous one. Their skins, of a sickly gray, were covered with prominent bony plates. Without a word, they launched themselves. One charged head down for a frontal assault while the second disappeared in a quick lateral movement, seeking to bypass his guard.

"So you decided to attack me together... not stupid"

’ They must be Archdemons... ’

He did not retreat. He used a repulsion under his heels to pivot on himself with inhuman fluidity, even if his silhouette was two meters tall he was very agile.

< Dash >

He dodged the frontal charge by a millimeter, feeling the fetid heat emanating from the creature. As he pivoted, he drew his blade.

< Art : Sundering Eclipse >

< Second Movement : Quarter Moon >

The black blade traced a perfect arc. Behind its passage, a trail of dark aura.

The second demon, who was arriving on his flank to claw him, collided head-on with this energy residue. The creature’s arm was cleanly sectioned at the shoulder, the limb flying into the air before falling into the dust. The demon screamed, a guttural sound that made the surrounding bones tremble.

The first demon, having missed its charge, abruptly turned around. Its claws lengthened, impregnating themselves with violet demonic mana.

It attacked with a series of frenetic blows. Kaiser blocked the first with his white blade.

< Aura Technique : Attraction >

Kaiser exerted an aura pressure on the torso of the wounded demon to his right, violently pulling it toward him. The one-armed creature was projected onto its companion, breaking their momentum. Kaiser took advantage of it. He crossed his two swords in front of him.

< First Movement : Double Crescent Moon >

He released a double crescent of white and black light. The energy blades split the air, cutting the two demons simultaneously. The first was sliced at the waist, its legs continuing to run two steps before its torso slid on the ground in a tide of black blood. The second received the attack full in the face, its skull exploding into pieces of bone and grayish brain.

Kaiser landed back on his feet, nonchalantly swinging his blades to remove the blood that remained stuck on them.

Three new demons then surged, emerging from the bloody mist without giving him time to breathe.

"Tchh... how many are there ?"

Equipped with torn membranous wings, one of them dove from the sky, its heels piercing Kaiser’s shoulder before he could react.

"Fuck !" growled Kaiser, the pain radiating through his entire arm.

He tried to strike, but another demon swept his legs with its spiny tail. Kaiser crashed to the ground. He rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding a claw that pulverized the ground where his head had been an instant earlier.

He quickly got back up, using his swords to stabilize his guard, but the blows rained down. A massive punch crashed against his ribs, sending a dry crack echoing in his chest. He spat a jet of blood.

It seemed that with each combat the level increased, these new adversaries were much more powerful than the previous ones. Moreover their cohesion was perfect. And besides others were arriving joining the feast.

Kaiser killed more and more, he had already massacred hundreds but they arrived by the thousands making the numbers incessant.

"Shit this is not good, there are too many of them" growled Kaiser while sweeping the scene, while quickly bending down, narrowly dodging the blade of his attacker.

He was overwhelmed. The demons circled around him, lacerating his coat and his skin. A claw opened a large gash on his thigh. His guard was perfect, but the speed of all these superior rank Archdemons coupled with their number made total evasion impossible.

While a demon raised its bone axe to deliver a blow, an wave of absolute cold swept the battlefield.

The ground froze instantly within a thirty-meter radius. The air became so dense that it became difficult to breathe. An explosion of blue arcane mana fell upon all the demons, transforming them into ice statues before pulverizing them into a thousand pieces

Kaiser, on his knees and spitting blood, slowly turned his head. A silhouette stood there, imperturbable in the middle of the carnage. It was a woman of breathtaking beauty, but icy. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

She wore a deep midnight blue dress, so tight that it left no room for imagination regarding her bewitching curves. Her chest was generous, her firm breasts lifting the fabric with each calm breath.

Her slender waist contrasted with wide and marked hips, highlighting an hourglass silhouette of aristocratic sensuality. Her skin was pale, and her long cyan hair fell in silky cascades to the middle of her back. Her gray eyes charged with contempt for the demons she had just annihilated, finally settled on him.

’ Huh !? But I do not understand anything anymore !? "

"But what the hell is she doing here !" cried Kaiser, shock reaching his heart. It was the spitting image of Amaera Castillon, the vice-director of the academy.

One second, he thought he was in a battle of the millennial war with all these demons and in a few seconds he saw Amaera.

She advanced with grace, the hem of her dress sliding over the frozen debris. A surviving demon tried to leap on her from behind. Without even turning around, she made a sharp gesture with her hand. An ice blade appeared in the void and sliced the creature’s throat with a surgical movement. The demonic blood froze even before touching the ground.

"Still being stubborn Sulyvhan ?" she said in a melodious but emotionless voice, her pink lips pursing slightly.

Kaiser felt his body move on its own again. His lips stretched into a carnivorous smile, that of Alexander Sulyvhan, the man this Woman seemed to be addressing. He straightened up, ignoring the pain of his broken ribs, and wiped the blood flowing from his mouth with the back of his gloved hand.

"Otherwise how could I benefit from this sweet scene my dear," he replied in a provocative tone, his voice being that of the first emperor.

’Shit ! So I am in the body of old Sulyvhan ?’ thought Kaiser.

He finally understood. From the beginning he was actually following Sulyvhan’s actions, it makes sense if one thinks about it, the way he used the art, only its creator could reach this level of mastery. And with his imposing silhouette, the answer was undoubtedly that he was in Sulyvhan’s body at the time of the millennial war. he gradually remembered a system message about Sulyvhan’s essence.

’ Or something like that, I do not remember too well...’

"So if I am in Sulyvhan’s body, then this woman... she must be the one who occupied the old man’s mind even in his last moments." Murmured Kaiser, a little amused to be able to witness this scene.

"The demons are at our doors, and you still find a way to make inappropriate remarks," she said.

" This world can burn as long as you are by my side to contemplate the flames," retorted Sulyvhan while advancing toward her capturing her lips in a languorous kiss.

She did not resist, on the contrary she returned his kiss with the same intensity. Then after a few seconds she gently detached herself, leaving a trickle of saliva between the two. "We should finish this after taking a bath, you stink." She added while turning around.

’ So old Sulyvhan that is what you said, while you were talking to me about your heroism.?’

Kaiser understood that what he was living at this moment was Sulyvhan’s memories, and since he could not really control this body, he could only stay and enjoy old Sulyvhan’s rizz...

" But I still do not understand. Why does this angel look so much like Amaera ? "
