I swung my whip up at the ceiling with a sharp flick of my wrist, an explosion erupting upon impact, before I flew up through the opening, Satan close behind as he chased after me.

I put on a burst of speed as I closed in on the next ceiling, once again charging my whip with Azazel’s Exploding Fists ability...okay, this should be the last one, I’ll be back in the castle after I break through here.

I cracked my whip up at full force with a full strength upward swing of my arm while rapidly extending out the length of the whip, a fierce explosion bursting out as it slammed against the ceiling.

I swerved across the air to evade the falling chunks of rubble, before zipping up through the opening and emerging back into the castle.

I then shot away through the corridors, Satan hot on my heels. Damn, he’s fast, guess I should expect no less from the most powerful Demon in existence.

I weaved across the air as he fired out a swirling blast of Negative Energy at me, narrowly evading it before spotting a window, firing out a rapid rock projectile at the glass, shattering the window and flying out into the open.

I unleashed a blast of blue flames at Satan as he flew out the broken window, before I zipped away as he fired out an Obliteration projectile, canceling out my flames before shooting towards me.

As I narrowly evaded his attack, I swooped down as he fired a piercing Obliteration beam at me, which grazed my shoulder, vaporizing the fabric of my leather armor over that spot.

I then turned my left arm to slime and rapidly extended it out towards Satan, who fired a swirling Obliteration blast at the slime, vaporizing it as the blast barreled in towards me.

I zipped across to evade it, the blast cleaving through the slime making up my left arm, before I grew it back as I got out of the way of the blast.

Hey, Plasmuk, you fought this guy to a draw before, didn’t you? Got any tips for me on how to defeat him?

’Sorry, no. I was only able to fight him to a standstill because he fought me in my domain, the entire area was under my control. It would take hours to assimilate this area into your control, and even then, there’s no guarantee that you can defeat him.’

Well, that’s real helpful.

’Hm, he does seem a lot less formidable that he was when I fought him though...it must be because he’s being controlled, instead of fighting of his own free will. During our battle, he attacked a lot more fiercely and intently, but right now, it feels more like he’s just going through the motions.’

Seriously? I’m almost completely on the defensive here, and you’re telling me he isn’t even fighting at his best right now? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Okay, time to step things up a notch...

As I zipped across the air to evade an incoming barrage of Obliteration blasts, I took a smoke bomb out of my Pocket Dimension and flung it towards Satan, before firing out a lightning bolt at the bomb, which erupted as the lightning struck it.

A massive cloud of smoke burst out, billowing and spreading out immensely, obscuring me from Satan’s vision, before I swiftly chanted...

"Now, Soul Weapon Ascension: Belt of Dragon Whiskers!"

My whip began glowing before turning into a sphere and splitting off into three pieces, two of the pieces moving towards fists while the third wrapped around my waist, taking the form of a belt.

Two whips then extended out of the back of the belt, like a pair of tails around my lower back, while the glowing pieces over my hands took the shape of two large daggers with sharp spikes on the handles, which were kinda like knuckle dusters, the spikes extending out over my knuckles.

I can control the two whips telekinetically with my mind, and they work the same way that my whip does in its base form...they can extend out indefinitely, and they can cut through anything, except for other Soul Weapons, of course.

As the smoke cloud began to fade away, Satan came zipping towards me, before I rapidly extended out one of the whips and swung it at him with immense force.

A powerful explosion burst out upon impact, sending him flying back before I extended out the other whip, using both whips to grab his arms, snaking the length of the whips around his arms and sharply tightening them to keep him from breaking free.

Damn, there’s barely a scratch on the control device around his torso, despite taking that explosion on the full, talk about durable.

I then rapidly contracted the whips as Satan began to struggle, pulling him in towards me before turning my right leg into slime and expanding it, engulfing him in it before he could react, Obliteration and Negative Energy blasts shooting out of his palms as he struggled in vain against the grip of my whips.

Alright, Azazel, we’re in contact with him, so do your thing!

’I’m way ahead of you, I’ve already started,’ He responded, right as the control devices around Satan’s wrists shattered, a hint of light returning to his eyes, before the ones around his ankles shattered as well.

Next was the one around his neck, breaking apart and floating away in the mass of slime engulfing him, the blasts he was firing off ceasing as he began to regain consciousness, cracks starting to spread out across the control device on his torso...
