The Great-Half was a place that separates the human world and the demon realm. It was filled with steep mountains and harsh high winds making it almost impossible to climb over. In the middle of the Great-Half, there were four valleys that made passage for both realms. These valleys were surrounded by a thick mist that came falling from the high mountains as if it was a mist basin. These particular phenomena made the Great Half a hard-to-navigate place.
On the southernmost valley of the Great Half, the Azure Sky Valley was located.
Right at this very moment, in the middle of the Azure Sky Valley, the sound of swords clashing could be heard. The shockwaves of these clashes caused the surrounding mist to disperse creating a clear space in the cloudy valley.
Pang! The sound of the metal hitting another metal resounded."You're Good! Demon!" The Saintess Firosa wearing a Holy Knight’s armor exclaimed with a huge smile on her lips. Originally, She had black hair and dark eyes. However, using the power of divinity, her eyes became golden.
With her divine vision, Firosa could see the figure of the demon even with the surrounding the mists.
Through deeper faith and prayer, the humans were enlightened to use the power of Krishna, the goddess of light. The humans who have enlightened were called Seekers. Through their eyes, they were given the ability to seek people who have a strong pure belief.
Chosen by the seekers, within their souls, these chosen ones contained the possible light of the goddess Krishna. They were called apostles.
With pure belief and the blessings of the seekers, the chosen apostles were able to materialize the first divinity of light.
The divinity granted the apostles power, speed, and a strong body. Moreover, the apostles who were able to use all 5 divinities were given the title ‘Saint or Saintess’. They were heroes of humankind and their names were being sung with praises.
Firosa ‘Lightbringer’ was one of them.
After purging the demons in the human realm, the kingdom sent its first offensive crusade to the realm of the demons. However, there were reports that over a hundred troops were gone missing while crossing the Azure Sky Valley. It only meant one thing, there was a high-ranking demon lurking within. Firosa quickly volunteered to eliminate the threat.
"I meant no harm. Calm yourself, Saintess." The Demon U'ri wearing a martial arts robe calmly replied. Originally, the demons were barbaric and bare. However, U'ri was one of the primal demons. The first of her kind. She had lived long enough to adapt to the human ways of living and getting dressed up was one of them.
Similar to humans who discovered the divinity of light, through their infinite desire for blood, the demons were able to call on the blood god Nital. Unlike divinity, the god of blood had given the demons an infinite form of power through the consumption of blood. The demons called this, the awakening. The demon awakening comes in many forms; some could manipulate their blood to summon elements, some could transform their body, and some could shoot projectiles.
The Mysterious Demon U'ri, her blood magic was named by herself.
She called it, the Scripture. A Blood Art of Words. In exchange for blood, she could change something within herself. Furthermore, with enough blood, U'ri believed she could change something in this world.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
With her power, U'ri had already changed her thirst for blood into the consumption of normal food. However, it greatly weakened her power. It caused her to revert back thinking to change this world, she needed more blood magic.
Using her katana, the Demon blocked the Saintess' thin hiltless, and exquisite longsword.
"Like all demons say before they devour every human in sight!" Face to face, with swords between them, the saintess Firosa shouted at the demon U'ri. Calm? How could she be calm after seeing the humans that tried to cross this valley were all dead!? Dismembered to pieces because of her!
Immediately, the saintess Firosa break the stand-off and made a distance before calling the second divinity of faith!

‘Goddess of light, grant me strength!’ Using the 2nd divinity of faith, the Saintess' divine power immediately tripled!
This time, not only her eyes but her hair changed from black into glowing white!
"Take this!"
Saintess Firosa made three powerful light slashes that cut travels through long distances!
"Is there any other way we can settle this?"
Blood Arts: Scripture: Power
‘Power to block the light!’ The Demon U'ri activated her blood arts. She consumed a lot of human troops before facing the Saintess.
Her blood arts were able to convert enough blood from her blood pool in exchange for power!
Demoness U'ri's body produces red steam before she was surrounded by an intense aura.
It happened in an instant, one by one, she deflected the all light slashes!
"You talk too much!!"
Seeing how the attack was blocked, Saintess Firosa was enraged!
This time, she decided to go all out and activated all of the 5 divinities and went into Goddess Form!
The Purest Form required 5 passages of divinity;
—1st was the Divinity of Pure Belief
— 2nd was Pure Faith
— 3rd was Pure Body
— 4th was Pure Mind
— And Lastly, a Pure Soul
Completing these 5 passages, immeasurable divinity could be summoned. Furthermore, the current Saintess was able to open all these passages without trouble!
Becoming a Divine being, Saintess Firosa’s hair and eyes were golden, light wings sprouted from her back and her sword was shrouded with divine light energy!
The Demoness U'ri knew that even with her Blood Arts that reached the Demon Lord level.
She couldn’t beat that bitch in pure combat. It was then, she thought,
‘Maybe with her, we change this world.’
About changing the world, the Demoness U'ri wasn’t able to realize what her feeling truly meant. It was all uncertain. She couldn’t specify the feeling. However, she had a strong feeling she could change something.
She needed to survive this fight and see further into the world. To realize her own dreams!
Blood Arts: Scripture: Fusion!
The Demoness used all her blood pool for this spell!
On the other hand, the Saintess charged with a speed the Demoness's eyes couldn’t follow!
Schuck!! The sound of the flesh tearing apart.
The next moment, the Saintess's sword was covered in blood. The Demoness was stabbed right through the heart.
The Demoness U'ri coughed up blood. However, using her remaining strength, the Demoness reached out her hand and grabbed the saintess's face!
Seal!
It happened in an instant! The Demoness blood arts activated!
Her whole body turned into liquid blood and shrouded the saintess!
“W-What the!?” The Saintess instinctively used her cleansing ability. However, it was futile! Saintess Firosa excelled in sheer strength and speed. Her divine cleansing was not fully developed.
On the other hand, the Demoness U'ri accumulated enough blood throughout the centuries.
As a result, the sealing power of the demon lord-level unique blood art remained on top!
Slowly, the Saint’s whole body was covered in blood, and became petrified!
Only the last thoughts of the Demoness were revealed,
[Through Blood we are sealed and Through Blood, we shall become one]
