Conquest chargers towards them, for someone who was supposed to be at half power or lower, he was still a formidable foe, he could definitely take over the Southern beast tribe in a few minutes if that. But he was in a completely new ball park now. Rays speed was now far superior to Conquests now, and his strength was now for closer.

Claires strength was already close to Conquests to begin with, but now, with her far superior speed. Conquest found himself going up against 2 foes that were equal to him, if not greater in strength.

Conquest, going at an incredible speed, attempts to land a double hit on both Ray and Claire, however, as he did, Ray grabbed his fist and Claire had ducked so fast, she had left an after image. Claire used this chance to break through Conquests defences and strike. As she sliced at his stomach and got behind him, she realised a fatal flaw. If she had been using her Excalibur, Conquests right side would have been split open, however, the mana blade was far too inferior compared to Excalibur and merely resulted in a medium size scratch.

“Shit.”, Claire muttered as she look at the mana blade, she knew with this that she wouldn’t be able to land the finishing blow, but she would play assist to Ray in finishing conquest.

As Ray held onto Conquests fists, crushing the gauntlets he was wearing, Ray and Salamander simultaneously opened their mouths, releasing intensely strong and powerful beams of fire at Conquest, Rays phoenix flames and Salamanders dragon flames mixing and fusing into a giant, powerful and incredibly hot beam. This resulting in Conquest being flung backwards, heels skidding across the ground as he tries to withstand its power.

As the beam of flames dispersed, Conquest stands there, burns all over his body, yet ultimately okay. However, Ray wasn’t done. Before Conquest knew what was happening, Ray was there, arm wound back, a spiral of flames rapidly spinning in his palm like a mini tornado. Ray slams the flaming tornado, upwards into Conquest's stomach, the spiralling flames expanding rapidly and propelling Conquest up into the air.

As conquest flew up into the air, he was the promptly struck by a bolt of lightning, which electrocuted him, further burning his body and slamming him hard into the ground with a loud CRACKLE and THUD.

Conquest slowly gets to his feet, however once again, Ray wasn’t over. In his hand, 5 perfect pitches appeared.

“Star dust!”, Ray says as he throws the spinning balls of flames down at Conquest.

As Conquest looks up, the 5 speeding balls of flames rush towards Conquest and then explode, creating a GIANT explosion that engulfs Conquest and everything within a close proximity.

As Ray lands on the floor Claire comes up to him.

“Think we got him?”, Claire asks Ray.

“Nah, I recon he’s still alive.”, Ray says. And sure enough, out of the crater Conquest appears, burned and bloodied, yet still standing.

“I have to admit, you guys are much, much stronger. To think you could have been doing this from the beginning. However, that is still not enough to take me down. NOW COME AT ME.”, Conquest screams, blood spraying from his mouth.

He charges at Ray and Claire, however somethings off. He's far slower than before. Claire charges in to meet Conquest head on, the lightning dragon on her shoulder, spitting out shots and beams of lightning, which Conquest is just narrowly avoiding. As they get into close quatres, Conquest swings his fist with as much power as he could possibly muster. However, with minimal effort, Claire dodges.

“This is for my friends, the ones that you and your friends so carelessly butchered.”, Claire said coldly, she raised her right arm, the one carrying the sword, her refined muscles bulging, veins popping.

“100 slashes.”.

Her arm was like a blur, in traceable by the human eye, the movements only lasted for 2 seconds, however during that time, Conquest was rendered motionless, as his body was slashed at 100 times in the space of 2 seconds. If Claire had been using Excalibur, the repeated cuts into the same sections would have rendered Conquest into little pieces. However, using the far weaker mana blade, Conquest only received deep cuts.

As Claire finished, blood erupted and sprayed out of all the cuts on Conquests body. However, even then he stayed standing, he was a true demon, his body covered head to toe in blood, cuts and burns all over his body and yet the demon known as Conquest didn’t fall. Conquest coughed out blood as he slowly raised both of his arms, his hands clasped together, and using all his might, slammed them down towards Claires head, who easily dodged them.

As his fists slammed into the ground, the ground beneath him shook and cracked. The fact that he could still generate this much power in his condition, was nothing but amazing. He was by far the strongest being in this battle. It was simply a shame that he had encountered both Ray and Claire.

The lightning dragon shot another bolt of lightning at Conquest which he was currently unable to dodge, as the bolt shot out and hit Conquests tendered, softened and sliced up flesh, the bolt finally managed to penetrate through the once tough flesh of Conquest and out the other side. As it did, for the first time, Conquest moaned out in pain, grabbing a hold of his side.

He stumbled backwards, carried by the force and power of the bolt and there, Ray appeared.

“You were a worthy opponent.”, Ray said simply.

Conquests eyes widened, as Ray slammed his fist into Conquest stomach, then chest, then liver, then face, then stomach again, each punch getting faster and stronger, each time Conquest getting pushed back further and further. 10 hits, 26 hist, 58 hits, 80 hit, 99 hits. Ray pulls his arm far back, his left leg up like he’s about to pitch a ball and slams his fist hard into conquests stomach, it pierces through and puncturing his stomach. Blood erupted like a volcano out of his mouth as he was sent zooming backwards, skidding across the floor and lying there on his back, struggling to breath.

Ray and Claire Walk over to him, Conquest tries to get back up, but his body simply can’t handle it anymore. He lies there, finally defeated.

“Is it over.”, Claire asks.

“I think so. But just to make sure.”.

Ray raises his hand, his hand like a blade and pierced right through the left side of Conquests chest, destroying his heart.

As Conquests mind begins to fade into an eternal slumber. He mutters one last word.

“F-fun...”.

As the life finally fades from Conquests eyes, his corpse lays there. A smile of satisfaction on his face.

Bheldid, opens his eyes slowly.

“Conquest had been killed...?”, he thinks to himself in shock as he looks over the destroyed human city from the top of the castle, “Seems like there's a worthy opponent out there.”, Bheldrid mutters, a familiar smile on his face.
