The Story Never Ends

"Bang"

Davion was flung a hundred meters away in the air and only managed to regain his balance.

"My body is far from being able to handle a middle-stage artifact." He muttered while looking at the bone which had already cracked from the middle. Not only that, he was feeling Aiden\'s devil essence creating havoc inside his body like previously.

But this time it was absorbed by his devil seed and nothing serious happened to him. He even felt his recovery speeding up and the wounds on his hand healing in the blink of an eye.

"My God! As I thought, I can absorb their devil essence and use it to recover both my devil essence and injuries." He was amazed by this discovery. Earlier he hadn\'t noticed this when swallowing the sphere but now it was clear.

"However, this technique should have some limitations…" He thought.

"Kid, you dare play with me?" Aiden yelled and rushed towards him again. He couldn\'t believe that he was being fooled with that fake weapon. He thought that he was about to die. So, how could he not be furious now?

"It\'s time to go all out." Davion threw away the bone and took out the halberd from his spirit ring. 

"Blood Churning"

"Dark Lightning"

He yelled and a multicoloured aura came out from him. 

"This same move? But there is brown hue mixed up with the tri-coloured aura this time." Aiden thought but he didn\'t stop his approach as he knew that he was strong enough to handle it right now.

When Aiden reached near him, Davion swung his halberd with full force. He knew that he had to end the battle much faster or else he might die here by running out of spiritual energy.

"Clang…Clang" The halberd and the axe clashed with each other frequently and Aiden was being hurled out after each blow. He was not a match against Davion in this form.

"Damn, he is too strong. How could someone use three types of energy?" Aiden cursed as he couldn\'t believe it. 

"With my projection, I couldn\'t see this technique properly. But now I\'m shocked after seeing it. How did he do it?" He was in deep thought. 

"Humph, you dare to idle around?" Davion scoffed and tossed his halberd towards him.

"Shit.." Aiden came to his senses and dodged it but Davion didn\'t go easy on him. He created many multicoloured spheres with his hands and fired them towards him.

"BOOM…BOOM"

Many of them were dodged and exploded after touching the barrier but there were few which managed to land on Aiden.

Taking this opportunity, Davion came ahead of him in an instant and punched him straight at his face. However, as a Devil king how could Aiden make such a blunder?

Although he was slightly injured, he was still keeping his focus. He opened his palm and gripped Davion\'s hand. Seeing this, Davion threw another punch with his other hand. Yet, Aiden was prepared. He dropped his axe on the ground and caught Davion\'s other punch too with this hand.

Davion tried to overpower him but found it difficult to do so. Thus, they went into a stalemate and could only stay in this position.

"You are really strong, old man." Davion praised him while trying to push him down.

Aiden nearly spat out a mouthful of blood from anger. He was getting bullied over here. Wouldn\'t he loose his face infront of the other devil kings if they saw him in this state?

He really wanted to curse him out loud. But he controlled himself and calmly controlled the axe that had fallen on the ground. The axe slowly rose in the air and came towards Davion from behind. As Davion was engaging him and the axe was approaching him from his blind spot, Aiden was sure that he would be the one to win.

"Kid, let\'s see who has the last laugh," Aiden was laughing from inside.

If he knew that Davion had the Mind-Eye then he wouldn\'t have dared to try this move. However, he had already made his move and Davion had indeed sensed it.

"A sneak attack once more?" Davion felt a weak breath coming from behind. Although Aiden did his best and tried to hide it as much as possible, there was nothing that could escape from his Mind-Eye.

So, he smiled at Aiden and said, "You sure like to play dirty."

"Eh! What do you mean?" Aiden acted innocent and gripped him much harder. Even if Davion found it, it would be impossible for him to dodge his axe.

"Hehe" Davion opened his mouth and showed his razor-sharp teeth which were shining.

Aiden felt a bad premonition when he saw this. But he didn\'t back down as he knew that this was his perfect opportunity to bring him down. However, he regretted his decision in the blink of an eye.

Davion fired a multicoloured beam of light from his mouth and from such proximity how could he remain unscathed?

"No.." Aiden cried out but there was nothing he could do.

"BAM"

The beam of light crashed on him and shoved him all the way to the ground. Only then did a huge explosion take place.

"BOOM"

A large pit that reached at least a hundred meters deep was formed and smoke came out of it. As for the axe, it dropped to the ground again.

"It\'s not over yet.." Davion didn\'t want to give him any chance to retaliate.

The bone pikes on his back gathered the multicoloured energy above his head and formed a phantom of himself in his devil form which was twice as large as him. 

"Intimidation" The moment he said this, the phantom flapped its wings and dived into the pit.

"BOOOOOM"

Like previously an explosion that was many times stronger took place and the pit caved in much deeper. Who knew how deep Aiden had already fallen?

"Wew, maybe this will be enough." Davion caught his breath and smiled, "Did I just create my own personal move earlier?"

"Haha, I am a genius. Although I named it whatever I had in mind, it sounds somewhat good," he laughed and opened up his palm. His halberd flew and returned back to his hand.

He then set his sights on the pit and used his Mind-Eye to scan thoroughly. 

"This.. I\'m still feeling his breath." Davion was surprised.

"The body of a devil king is really hard to crack," He sighed.

He channelled multicoloured aura in his halberd and swung it downward. If this didn\'t work, then he would repeat it again until Aiden died. 

"Kid, you are getting too full of yourself." Finally, there was a reaction coming from the bottom. 

"BAM"

Dust and debris shot out from the pit and Aiden emerged into his view. He had a body full of wounds and blood was dripping from everywhere.

"Why?" Confusion could be seen on Davion\'s face when he saw what Aiden did next.

Aiden stood there straight and didn\'t bother about the pillar of light that was approaching him from the top. He even puffed his chest and let it strike him head-on.

"Pfft-"

He coughed out a large amount of blood and a deep gash was seen on his chest starting from his waist to his neck. But he was still standing straight.

"What is he trying to do? Did his brain short-circuit after all that beating?" Davion pondered.

Aiden who was badly injured suddenly released a very terrifying aura.

"Damn, why does it seem like he became twice as powerful as before?" Davion backed a few meters away and gazed at him keenly.

"Haha, Kid are you scared? This is my unique ability. All the devils possess their unique abilities when they reach the Devil King Stage and this is my ability. The more I\'m hurt, the more powerful I become." Aiden maniacally laughed.

Then he picked up his axe and coldly said, "Let\'s finish this in a single move." Although he had become powerful, it was only for a short period of time. He would return back to his normal self and might not be able to handle his injury later on. So, he wanted to end it right here and now. 

"Baphomet Summoning"

He used the ability of his axe and poured all his devil essence into it. The axe started shining and released a circular red coloured light under his feet. There was a big star in the middle of the circle which was formed from two triangles. Inside the star was a picture of a devilish goat having two horns.

Davion solemnly set his sights on this circle and murmured, "This looks somewhat similar to the statue in the church of Crocus City."

"Come"

Aiden yelled and the goat in the circle began to glow brighter and a huge phantom of it came out. It was completely red in colour and looked similar to the statue in the church. The only exception was that there were no children on its side.

"I will definitely die here if I don\'t use the ability of my halberd." Davion felt how strong this aura was.. So, he didn\'t hesitate and used it immediately.
