With a roar that shook the earth, Gabriel's voice boomed out, "ENOUGH! All of you were ordered to work together, but none of you was helping each other out. On the battlefield, it's everyone for themselves. Now retreat and fall behind me and Necro, we will take it from here." Her rage reached a new height as she witnessed the one-sided battle.

Damian watched as the remaining horde of soldiers backed away, knowing they wouldn't attack him now that Gabriel had given her orders to stop.

"They're going to attack now, Damian. Be ready," L warned.

"You better beat that bug's ass, do you hear me!" S shouted.

Necro stood, holding his spear. "Ah, so boring. I was enjoying the show," he said, then grabbed a retreating Higher demon. "Sir, what--" the demon started, but Necro crushed his head, sending brown blood squirting everywhere.

The other warriors jumped back in fear, hoping not to be next.

"What do you want? Keep moving, unless you want to join that last Higher piece of shit who thought sucking up to me was a good idea," Necro laughed, dropping the body to the floor.

In the end, only two angels and one Higher demon survived out of the original army of one million, two hundred and fifty thousand, which had included twenty Higher angels and thirty-one Higher demons. Now, there were less than five hundred and forty-three thousand, and even that number might decrease as the injured succumbed to their wounds.

As Gabriel surveyed the battlefield filled with bodies and wounded, crying or writhing in pain, she turned to Necro with pleading eyes. "Can you please give them mercy?"

Necro looked at her, wondering if she was serious. "Why should I show them mercy? I'm enjoying myself listening to this symphony of screams," he said, with a smirk. But then he relented. "Fine, they are worthless trash anyway."

The five blades on Necro's shoulder guards, connected to skull faces, began to weep as the spikes on his armour started moving. He called out "Hixes and Nexus" and thousands of blades shot out from nowhere, quickly and efficiently putting an end to the wounded with a single strike to the head. As he called out "Hixes and Nexus" again, the blades flew back to him and the spikes on his armour reattached themselves.

S exclaimed in awe, "Wow, Damian, did you see those blades and spikes?"

Damian replied, "It was hard not to notice. It was loud, and then quiet a few seconds later, plus he didn't even move that fast so I could see him flicking the blades out of his storage dimension."

L added, "That's not what he's talking about. First, his armour spikes moved when he said 'Hixes and Nexus,' also the blades that come out of his dimensional storage aren't just a small count of thousands. They're also laced with poison."

Damian couldn't help but smile behind his mask as he realized that Necro had a trump card but mistakenly gave it away. Yet he had one as well that can render Necros blades useless in this fight.

Gabriel landed in front of Damian, her eyes now super bright red and her wings a deeper red than before. The energy she was emitting was causing the bodies around her to crumple under the pressure, with sounds of 'crack, pop, snap' as the bodies were forced downward away from her feet.

Necro stood tall beside the army, his head turning towards them as he sneered, "Allow us to demonstrate true fucken power. Do not dare call yourselves powerful again, or I'll hunt you down myself." With a powerful leap, he took to the sky and landed beside Gabriel, causing the bodies around them to evaporate into liquid vapour upon impact.

Gabriel glared at Necro in anger, her voice filled with contempt as she spoke, "Now their bodies can't even be laid to rest with their families."

Necro shot back quickly, "They don't deserve it. With us fighting, nothing will be spared here. That's why we've been restricted to only using 5% of our power. This pitiful realm would crumble otherwise. I can't even use my Void-Fiendagon nor your Halo."

AN:" Void-Fiendagon and Novaleon will be explained later"

Gabriel, understanding the truth in Necro's words, nodded and turned to the army. Her once beautiful voice now filled with rage, she bellowed, "ALL OF YOU, GET 5KM AWAY FROM THIS AREA IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE!"

The army didn't hesitate, they all began fleeing for their lives, knowing that they couldn't possibly handle the fighting power that Necro and Gabriel possessed.

Damian pondered Necro's words, wondering why they were restricted. He understood why the lower army was, but Absolute Beings should not be. Necro's inability to use his Void-Fiendagon and Gabriel's Novaleon gave Damian the upper hand.

Necro laughed, as he always did, unaware of the blunder he had caused for himself and Gabriel.

Gabriel turned to Damian, her eyes scanning the blood, brain matter, and flesh that covered his body as it fell to the ground. A look of disgust and anger crossed her face, but she quickly composed herself. "You didn't disappoint and lived up to your name, destroyer of order."

Damian looked bewildered at her words, thinking to himself, "Why are they calling me that? I've never done anything to their so-called order. I don't care about their order.

All I want is to get stronger and seek my revenge. Isn't that what all races strive for - to reach higher ranks in life?" With a shake of his body, he tried to rid himself of the blood and other debris that covered him.

"Listen closely, Damian," L began urgently. "You need to finish her quickly. I've observed her and the angrier she gets, the stronger she gets. I think she's the legendary berserker angel."

"That's impossible," Damian protested. "I thought the berserker angel was a bulky 3m size man who died ages ago in the last war. That's what the books said."

"I'm telling you what I've observed," L insisted.

"Okay, I'll test her," Damian said. He turned to the angel, Gabriel, and said, "Say, you wouldn't let me cool off and get clean by any chance?"

Necro laughed. "Hahaha, kid. Don't fucken sweat. You'll be dead in one minute. I'll burn your body to cinders afterwards to save the cleanup crew some time."

"Darn, you're right," Damian said, but then he added, "But your friends didn't even lay a scratch on me. I can't believe they're so weak and useless."

At that, Gabriel flared up. "You're done for," she said, lifting her axe and jumping towards Damian. She smashed it down at him.

"It's her! Finish her quickly! Move!" L shouted.

The ground beneath them shattered as pieces flew up, the air blew outward, levelling all the small trees, and the mountain with the waterfall split apart. The giant tree was still burning and branches started falling.

Necro swung to his left quickly as he sensed danger, but he was slow, and the short sword scratched and cracked his armour.

Damian did a spin, dodging the spear by a hair and retreating, but Gabriel was on his tail, swinging. He got hit and flew 500m away, rolling and hitting rubble around, spitting out blood as his left rib guard crumbled to nothing.

"You fucking little shit," Necro swore, looking at his broken armour. "Where did you get Adimite blades from in this pathetic realm?"

Damian coughed up blood, then wiped his mouth clean. "From your wife," he said, "after I showed her a good time. Or was it your daughter?"

Necro didn't even talk back. All of a sudden, he split his spear in two and threw the spearhead like a shuriken so fast towards Damian.

L:" On your right"

With lightning-quick reflexes, Damian blocked Gabriel's attack and delivered a devastating high kick to her face, sending her flying a distance of 30 meters. With a loud 'bang', she crashed into a tree, dazed and mad.

"Duck and then leap 45 degrees back," a voice in Damian's head warned.

Without hesitation, he followed the instruction, first ducking as a spinning blade flew over his head, then leaping backwards as Necro smashed the ground beneath him. But as he was in the air, Necro couldn't help but smile under his mask as he saw Gabriel appear.

"I'm sorry, I miscalculated," L muttered as Gabriel swings her axe at Damian.

He lifts his swords in a V shape, and a massive 'BAAAAANG' echoed through the sky as a shockwave appeared, making the clouds disappear.

Gabriel stayed in her position, but Damian was sent flying, rolling and hitting everything in his path.

When he finally came to a stop, his arm guards were destroyed, his robe was shredded, his pants were gone, and his back guard was shattered from the impact of Gabriel's attack from behind.

He sat in a recovery position, spitting blood as he realized that 8 of his ribs and his spine were broken. But then, with a series of 'cracking and popping' sounds, he began to heal at a rapid pace.

As he stood up, he noticed a locket hanging from his chest armour and remembered the promise he had made. He shook off the dirt and leaves, putting the locket back into his chest armour, and sighed at the state of his armour.

"Fuck me, that was a bumpy ride," he muttered.

The next moment, Gabriel and Necro landed in front of him, Necro on her right, both of them with shocked and confused expressions as they looked at Damian's condition.

Gabriel stared in disbelief as Damian stood before her, seemingly unharmed and fully healed from the attack she had just inflicted upon him. "How is this possible?" she muttered to herself, trying to make sense of the situation.

Damian, however, didn't have time for explanations. His orders came quickly into his head, as he commanded the earth to rise up and block Gabriel's view.

Gabriel saw him lunge at her right side with an electrically charged sword and she used her red right wing to block the attack, sparks flying as an explosion was heard.

Unfortunately, Gabriel's confusion only grew as she heard the words "It's fake, Nexus" and blood began pouring out of her mouth. Damian's real attack was coming from her left side and Necro, who was also in the fight, shouted out "It's fake, Nexus" as he defended her with spikes flying from his body. But he was too late, as Damian's sword hit Necro's neck, cracking his armour.

As Necro rolled forward, he unleashed hundreds of blades in every direction, hitting Gabriel's armour and cracking it. Gabriel gasped for air, blood pouring out of her left side as she collapsed to her knee. Yet the fight was far from over, as Necro detached his spear and threw the blade directly at Gabriel's face.

Damian was already in front of her about to plunge his sword into her neck to kill her, Necro's blade came so quickly cutting his hand off and breaking his mask. The sword returned to his waist automatically

Gabriel, still in shock and struggling to breathe, flapped her wings hard seeing Damian, causing the ground to shatter as she flew into the sky. Unfortunately, her right wing was burnt and unresponsive, causing her to fall 10m away. Damian, meanwhile, fell to his butt as he was blown away by her force

Yet the fight was not over yet, as L commanded "Damian, dodge" and the battle continued.

Necro let out a fierce roar as he retaliated against Damian with the other half of his spear. He unleashed blades from his dimensional storage, raining them down upon his opponent as he jabbed his spear towards him. "You're one crazy kid, I'm impressed. You would've been a ruler of rulers if you lived for longer," Necro sneered.

But Damian was not to be underestimated. Without hesitation, he threw a lightning ball at Necro's spear, creating a blinding light. Damian grabbed the spear with his right hand, piercing it with a spike, and sent his right sword flying through the air with a lightning strike. With his left hand, now fully regenerated, he stabbed Necro in the left shoulder.

Necro's black eyes glared into Damian's bright silver ones as he struggled to lift his spear. Gabriel, lying on the ground, tried to rise and help Necro, her arch-enemy, as she stumbled towards them.

"How did your hand grow back so quickly? That's impossible," Necro exclaimed.

"Why waste time telling you? You'll be dead in a minute," Damian retorted.

Enraged, Necro spat out, "You look just like her, that garbage you know," as a blade came hurtling towards his head.

Regrettably, Damian couldn't pull away in time. His right hand and sword burning with lightning, swung towards Necro's head. 'Splat', blood sprayed everywhere as Necro's body fell to the ground.

Damian's mind raced with conflicting emotions. Two thoughts rang in his mind, one filled with regret and apology "I'm sorry Damian, I couldn't predict this," and the other, filled with anger and frustration, "Fuck!"

Two new voices whispered in Damian's ears, "Die you Abomination for good this time."

His thoughts were jumbled and he could only manage to utter two words, "like who?", as he collapsed onto his knees, retching blood. He lifted his hand to see it slowly turning to dust, and in his peripheral vision, he saw Gabriel moving at a snail's pace as if time had slowed to a fraction of its normal speed. But that was impossible, no one could control time.

Damian looked down and saw the tip of a sword jutting out from his chest. He tried to touch it and remove it, but his right arm had been severed by the sword. He tasted the blood in his mouth as it rose up once again.

The help in the fight sounded again in his ears fading away, "Goodbye Dam...", and he knew that his time was up

Damian thought to himself, "I remember this feeling. This is what death is like. Time slows to savour it, but whom was he talking about...what is this? Why am I seeing my life flash before my eyes?"

Title: Death awaits you, Damian!
