"What...?" Mammon barely sounds out as the black sword pierces his chest, he flings a high speed rotating coin at the person holding the sword and manages to get the sword blade out as he steps away.

His injury heals slowly but he manages to regenerate, he grumbles as he hears laughter coming from his attacker.

"Ha! It seems Principles truly are immortal while they transform! It seems his hypothesis was true after all! How intriguing, and here i thought i was letting you off easy!" The man says as he rests the giant black sword on his back.

"How insolent! I will destroy you!" Mammon yells in fury.

"Yeah, yeah... Keep telling yourself that..." The picks his nose and flicks the snot away as he looks at Mammon with a bored expression.

His words seems to anger Mammon who creates a giant sword of gold and rushes at the man who nonchalantly points the tip of the black sword at him, summoning a torrent of black fire that leaves not even ash of the things that it scorches, the fire doesn't spread, instead, the trees and ground that it hits dissapear almost into thin air.

The torrent forms back into a blade but from the dissapearing torrent is Mammon who quickly slashes down from close range, the man, instead of fright, feels only happiness as he cannot help but smile at Mammon's futile attempt. He quickly blocks the sword with his arm, as the sword makes contact with the sleeve of his coat, a ripple-like effect of manna is achieved.

The coat is uninjured and so is the man's arm, "dumbass, this coat cannot be broken, can't you see the runes...?" The man mocks.

Mammon backs away quickly with a weary expression, a cold sweat running down his cheek, "a black flame sword... An enchanted coat... Long golden hair and tanned skin... Just who the hell are you?!" Mammon roars.

"Me..? My name is Ray, Ray Evangale... Sound familliar, eh?" He gives a smile as he leans forward.

"Evangale... Evangale, thats right! Evangale! Lord Lucifer ranked your clan as a special threat! I can see why that is, now!" Mammon laughs maniacally, "this way, when i return i can report this to him! I'll get promoted for sure!"

"Sorry, but you won't be returning." Ray's smile dissapears.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Just try me!" Mammon takes out a few coins, placing them stationed in mid-air, "Ferrokinesis, Supreme Art: Golden Death!" The coins spin rapidly and begin to accelerate, even Helena awakens at the massive amount of energy produced, she begins to stumble over to Qiang to see what is going on.

"What... The hell...?" She says, begining to panic slightly.

"Huh? What do you mean...?" Qiang asks.

"Thats a Supreme art! If he uses it, then we're sure to die! The only way to block a Supreme art is by using your own!"

"Then use your own!"

"I neither have the energy nor my earings... Golden death allows Mammon to shoot out coins automatically at infinite speeds... It can't be evaded..."

"How does he even have such a powerful ability?!"

"A Supreme art uses up all the energy from the Principle... If the attack misses or is blocked then they will no longer have energy... Except the attacks never miss..." She looks as if she will have a panic attack.

"So... It's over then, isn't it?" Qiang says in a worried tone.

Johan begins to quickly stand up, looking at the scene with determined eyes, 'if her words are correct then i have to summon my realm... But then everybody else will be caught in ability activation... Damn it, damn it! I can either save myself or save nobody!' Johan think, gritting his teeth.

"This is your death! Once the coins even graze you, you will cease to exist!" Mammon laughs as he flicks the coins one by one until all of them dissapear, he waits in silence, not even a single sounds other than the singing of the birds is heard.

Mammon's smile dissapears as he looks around in confusion, Ray smiles as he walks up to Mammon and slashes him across the chest with the sword, a deep wound leaving many of his organs damaged.

"What... Just happened...?" Blood pours out of Mammon's mouth.

"I happened." Ray stabs him in the chest with the black sword and sets him alight with black flame, sure enough, not even ashes had remained.

"Wh- how...?" Helena looks at Ray, who is grinning widely now.

"Simple, my black sword is made of black fire, it's not a phisical thing so it will destroy everything it touches."

"How did you destroy the coins...?" She says again.

"The second he flicked the final coin, i released my flames and blocked all the coins, it was a gamble, since i didn't know if i could burn the coins fast enough but it really worked!" He says cheerfully, apearing almost like a little boy.

He suddenly looks lost in thought, "hmm... There is no sign of him anywhere... Did Abena give me a false message...?" He says to himself before looking up at them, "where are you three going to?"

"Um... We were going to revive a friend, there is a doctor on the border that can do that..." Helena says shyly.

"And what is the friend's name..?"

Johan walks up and dusts himself off, "Ezra." He says with an emotionless face.

Ray's eyes widen slightly before his face returns to normal, "oh! I see! You know, that doctor is quite a friend of mine, just say that Ray Evangale sent you and i'll cover the cost!" He turns around and begins to walk away, "oh, and just so you know, you should be more careful from now on, Principles aren't easy to handle, especially for children." He continues to walk away, the coat with a white crown emblem swaying in the wind as he walked.
