Hey, Demi how about you go back to being sealed so we don't have to see your ugly mug?! This seemed to work, just like his mother he was easy to provoke when making comments about his looks.
“You will be purified and turned into dust!“ He came at me and wanted to strike me with his pole but I used [Frozen Ground] and made him slip and froze his toga to the floor.
“Aagh! You insolent wretch! Stop making fun of me!” I connected to the air leyline currents. I have to say, I was expecting more from a demigod but I can't complain, I don’t think you can kill us, you’re probably relatively young but I don't care, your kind doesn't do this world any good so just as you want to excise me from existence, I will do the same to you.
“Ha! What can a stupid human do to divinity like me?!” I can see how you got sealed away, you’re quite stupid aren't you, aren’t you frozen to the ground, would that have happened if I were a human?
“Irrelevant, I chose for this to happen, I can get out whenever I want!” Thalia started buffing me. It was quite a lot; how can one lose with all these buffs. She even buffed my speed, oof this guy is going to get a good ass kicking. Demi broke out of the freeze like it was nothing.
“I will give you this, you are strong for a human but still insignificant!” He shot a [Light beam] at me but I evaded it easily with my speed buffed.
I will show you just how ignorant you are. I got my tails out and went 9t mode. A mana burst exploded from me and foxfire appeared on the tip of my ears and tails. My eyes glowed dark purple and time and space started to glitch around me.
“I... Impossible! My mother wiped all of you out!” Guess, what, she missed some. Demi threw attacks at me but I messed with space and he hit himself. He didn't do much damage to himself so either he is very tanky or does no damage.
“Holy shit Agnis, that’s so cool!” Toxic Donkey got excited.
“I’m in love all over again.” I told you right, we’d have to be in deep shit if I have to use my tails.
Demi sent attacks at me and I reversed time on them. I rushed at him with [Accel Step] and used [Crimson Palm]. I got hasty so it was only purple lightning. He didn't seem to be that hurt. I evaded some [Light Novas] and sent daggers imbued with lightning at him while evading. The daggers did nothing to him but it annoyed him a lot. [Tail Dynamo] got the lightning to red so I landed a real [Crimson Palm].
“Aagh!”
This seemed to work, somewhat. He made a [Light Dome] crash down and I protected myself and Kyle and Thalia with a [Frost cloak]. I have to remember that she only buffs my offense. I used lightning [Dragon] and kept hitting him with [Crimson Palms] until [Dragon] got sentient. Demi got hit a couple of times by it but he seemed fine.
How tanky is this guy? Do I have to seal him away? I can see how this will become a pain in the ass and sealing him will be the best option but… Seals can be broken. This guy needs to die here.
I shifted stance and started using [Ocean’s Wrath] to catch all the light attacks he was sending my way.
If this doesn't work, I will have to use my ultimate skill. Especially after catching attacks like these, [Ocean’s Wrath] will be stronger than [Dragon].
Thalia kept buffing me and she seemed to be getting tired. Even with all these buffs I wasn't putting a scratch on him.
“Aaagh! So, vexing! Why can’t I hit you!”
I doubt that he could one-shot me but I certainly wasn't going to test this out.
He did a wide attack that started to bring the place down on us.
I will be fine but Kyle and Thalia will get buried alive if I don't do something. I could send [Ocean’s wrath] at him and possibly one-shot him or use it to completely clear out the ceiling. I bundled the attack and sent it to the sky blowing a hole in the ceiling.
“Hahaha, where are you aiming!” Demi laughed mockingly while he kept spamming light based attacks.
“Agnis, you fool! You could have severely damaged him with that!” Shut up Toxic Donkey! I care more about you two than dealing with this ugly tomato.
“Aaargh! That’s it! You're dead look at this skill I perfected!” While you were sealed?
“While I was sealed, wait no! Before that!” Idiot. Right, Toxic Donkey, you wanted to see my ultimate skill, right? Keep your eyes peeled. It's called [Silver Torrent]. The cosmetic illusion started to slowly fade and reveal my silver tails.
“S…s...silver! Shit, I hate silver! Gold is the only worthy color!” He slammed his pole on the floor and he created exactly 978 identical clones. These things seemed to be as strong as him.
“Ha! Behold my ultimate skill [1000 Hunks]!" I almost lost my composure. You called it 1000 hunks? Hahaha, what a narcissist and why are there only 979 of you? Where did the other 21 go? Are they the [21 Junks]?
“My training got interrupted but this will do for you! I will be unbeatable as long as at least 1 is standing, you can’t beat me!” Interesting, my ultimate skill just happened to be great against multiple targets. I took off my shoes and created the setup for [Dagger Torrent].
How much do you know about lightning? I started using [Accel Step] while using [Tail Dynamo]. The lightning instantly turned red.
“Haha! This red lightning hurts but you need more than this!”
The lightning was eating away at the clones and the daggers did a sizeable amount of damage to him. My tails notified me that I seemed to be doing a lot more damage than expected and this was since the damage also seemed to be determined by how fast I was. Thalia buffed my speed so this might be it.
I sped up and the wires started to vibrate. It made a pleasant sound reminding me of my [Boss music]. The lightning shifted orange and I was assaulting the clones simultaneously with lightning and daggers. I’m not sure how long the wires will last. Some had already melted. Demi tried to hit me as did his clones but there was no way he would be able to hit me. He tried to get out but that was not possible. Hey, tomato, do you know what color comes after orange?
“How arrogant! Only deities have gone higher than orange!” Well ok then.

My [Tail Dynamo] spun faster and even those that normally couldn't see leyline energy saw that something was gathering at my spinning tails. All the wires melted and snapped as all the lightning turned black and this was for the first time that Demi seemed in pain.
This is an ultimate technique for a reason, you won’t get out of this alive. Demi was throwing wide attacks around, even those that had the speed of light but since they were well telegraphed were easy to dodge. He dropped another [Light Dome] but I blasted a hole into it. There was a lot of contrast in this fight. I was throwing black lightning at him and he was throwing light at me. My fingers started to tingle a bit. A dagger one-shot a clone but it reappeared 10 seconds later. Time for the final stretch. I started [Accel turning], building more charge and possibly hurting my feet.
Hey, tomato! Want to know what comes after black? I reversed time on an attack he was trying to cast for the last few seconds.
“Aagh! I hate you foxes! You're such a pain in the ass to fight! And I don't know what comes after black!” Your favourite color, Silver.
The spin on my tails reversed and the black lightning around my tails turned orange for a brief period of time and then jumped to silver. A strong silver lightning wave erupted form me as all the lightning turned silver and the clones were visibly getting cooked. This was quite taxing on me, not stamina-wise, I could do this all day because it did restore a lot of stamina. It did take my physical energy as in I will probably have to eat 80% of the food in my stash to get this back. I could keep this going until I think my food stash will not be able to cover this.
I had 10 minutes before I would have to clear out my stash and have nothing left. I wasn't there yet though; I needed a little push to get where I need to be. [Silver Torrent mode]. Demi was layering defensive skills on himself but just on himself and not his clones. He had been doing similar stuff before which indicates which one is the real one. It didn't matter to me though. The last [Accel turn] got used before using [Accel Stop]. Accel stop had a different function now. It put me in [Silver Torrent mode] when I met the requirements.
Another wave of silver lightning burst out as I reached [Silver Torrent Mode]
“Ha stopped running around now eh!” Demi sent 900 [Light waves] at me and they passed right through me. My body was made out of lightning, moreover…
I shifted stance and used [Drowning Pulse]. The silver lightning started to act like water and its volume increased. [Silver Torrent Mode] enables me to control silver lightning as if it were water. I shifted stance and used [Silver Dragon]. It flew at all the Demi’s and popped them out of existence. The real one tried to run away. [Silver Waterfall] caught him when the last clone got popped. I waited and checked the area if there was still anything left. I looked back at Kyle and Thalia who seemed at a loss for words.
I told you, he’s just a demigod. I dropped [Silver Torrent mode], got out of 9t mode, took a lot of food out of my dimensional pocket, and started to eat.
“That was… I have no words to describe it! It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” Thalia said starstruck.
“Here I was thinking it was just one big attack, you just basically went god mode or something!” It makes me hungry as fuck, want some? With leylines I don't just try to make strong skills, I make techniques because it’s easy to dodge an attack but it's harder to dodge a technique. I continued eating and Kyle joined in.
“Does it have limitations? How long and often can you use it?” It has no limitations except for this. I pointed at my feet which seemed like they had better days. And how much food I have that's it, I can use it whenever but I can't use it without my tails yet. It also forces my cosmetic illusion to disappear for some reason but when I use this I don't really care about the color of my tails.
“Well, you did say it was called [Silver Torrent] so why have black ears and tails?” I acknowledged that he made a good point and kept eating. Thalia was just standing in a daze. If [Silver Torrent] didn't work, I had to probably use [Elgard Overload] and copy and spam [Silver Torrent] mode for 8 minutes without the downsides and then have my eyes disabled for 80 minutes.
I ate 80% of all the food I had stored up before I felt satisfied and I mitigated the downside of [Silver Torrent]. I will have to do some serious shopping after this.
“You sure have an appetite.” Yeah, this downside is brutal, it’s the only thing I need to fix for my Ultimate technique.
“But silver lightning, eh? The strongest I've ever seen is purple, I knew that red exists, never knew about orange and beyond. Is there anything after silver? Dunno, maybe gold, silver is the best I can do at the moment and I quite like the color silver so I have no intention of going beyond. I got up and looked at the sky. Nobody had noticed when I blew this hole right?
“To think the Ouroboros cult was here too, unfortunately, I couldn't catch those who had that item.” Oh shit, I completely forgot about that! But oh well it will appear sooner or later. Someone else will deal with that.
“You don't feel bad they escaped?” A bit but that's a problem any human can solve, this demi thing however, if I didn't step in things might have gotten ugly. I did say he was weak but I’m not sure this would've worked without Thalia's buffs, hey Thalia! snap out of it! Is she broken?
“I think she’s imagining a future with you.” You’re not funny… I picked her up and we left the hole.
Daddy's girl appeared with an injured Esher and some guards. “What was that!” Holy shit, you’re still here?
“That was so cool! I couldn't see exactly what was going on but there was silver everywhere! Was that your ultimate skill or something?“ Daddy's girl asked out of curiosity. She looked beat up. Doesnt this chick have better things to do? Uh, yeah that was my [Silver Torrent], how’s Esher?
“He is still breathing; he gave his everything to protect us. I’m going to ask Daddy to give him a big reward.” Yeah, he deserves it. Well, we have to go cya Sara!
“The name is Tania!” The guards had done some treatment on Esher and I saw a small team arrive. Ugh, Healerguy again?!
“Tania! Stop that guy!” Really?! Tania tackled me. It was hard to evade while my feet were hurting and carrying Thalia.
Healerguy's silhoutte loomed over us. “Well, well, who do we have here in the middle of trouble again.” Hey, I swear this was an accident! I was just helping Thalia out and why are you everywhere? Are you a stalker? Or do you have like triplet brothers?
“I did tell you that the Adventurers Association teleports are free for Golden Angels, right? I can just teleport over to wherever there is trouble and it so happens that you’re always in it. Speaking of trouble… we need to talk about the Texiha incident.” Oh, is Texiha ok? What happened?
“You know exactly what happened and stop laughing Kyle, you’re an accomplice!”
“Wait what?!” Get rekt Toxic Donkey.
“Let’s go to Gittrian.” They started walking but I stayed behind.
Healerguy turned around. “Come on now.” Can somebody carry Thalia and me? My feet hurt…
