Luna POV:

There is no time left. This man in front of me is too strong to take lightly. Turning towards Evileye I ran as fast as I could. No use trying any teleportation spells, as a high-level demon he can easily make any transfer magic unusable.

"For starters, parting right after meeting is most saddening. Therefore, please permit me to interdict your teleportation. [Dimensional Lock]. One ought to say one's farewells before departure, certainly that would be pleasing from both an emotional and and etiquettical point of view, do you not agree?"

Called it. Fucking called it. I can force my way if need, but that would paint a big target on my back and anyone close to me 'Evileye'. Once I could just ignore it but now its not a good choice.

"Death ought to come in the appropriate order. The young should live, while the most aged should die first. I believe this is proper." Commented Evileye and after last look where her comrades retreated faced in my direction.

"Damnit, Evileye! You're not dying tonight!" Fuck it, faster!

Finally reaching her side after speeding up I told her as seriously as I could.

"After we get this shit sorted out and get out of here alive we will have some fun time alone! I'm not taking 'No' for an answer!"

"Luna... even now... Fine you can do what you wish just get us out of here!"

"That's more like it!"

"Now then, after you two. Of course, if you will not do anything, then I shall make the first move."

Time is out. Let's start with 6th tier magic and try to run, if it's not possible, then make it possible for Evileye.

"Then don't complain later, after I'm done with you!"

[Twin Maximize Boosted Magic: Dragon lightning]

Let's see what you will do. 5th tier dragon lightning elevated to the 6th tier. I cannot close distance between us. Evileye might not take it well if I were to move too fast, above her limit.

The masked guy as in mockery for us spread his arms, as though in welcome. My spell hit him just as his moves ended, or rather it vanished before they did.

"tch... High level magical nullification? Why does it always happen to me? The most troublesome things strike always after something good happened to me."

"What do you mean high level magical nullification!?" Asked Evileye suddenly

"it's just as it says. He's immune to any magic equal or below 6th tier"

"Hooh, I must congratulate you to guess properly. Now then, please allow me."

After saying this, the man grandly swept his hand like in some kind... oh shit.

[Mana shield]

[Hellfire Wall]

I should be more carefull, if this spell managed to reach Evileye she would be dead right now. These unnatural black flames right from hell were stopped by my shield thankfully, this flame doesn't burn bodies but souls and this particular spell is categorized as seventh tier magic.

"I had hoped to stop just short of killing you two, but you are stronger than I thought. You managed to block flames of this magnitude. This is more than what was expected fo you."

So this guy is not even percieving us as a threat, no as an enemy. If only Eviley was safe...

"Striking while sparing your lives is hardly an easy task. At least you're close in strenght to another. If you had not, I might have killed you. Of course now I have to take into my estimate this shield of yours."

"tch... Looks like I have no other choice. Evileye, no matter what, hold me as strong as you can and try not to scream."

"Oh, another trick? Please do try."

As he said this I moved my right hand to my fangs and bit lightly drawing some blood. Not hard enough to make it drip but enough to let my blood infuse with mana enchancing my spells, just single drops, and allowing me to cast some of my stronger spells. With this action done I moved and took ahold of Evileyes body in a way easily allowing me to hold her with my left hand while still casting spells with the right one.

"Wh-Wha--" Evileye tried to say something but I interrupted her.

"Stay calm. Conserve mana. There's nothing you can do here to help me, so please hold me as strong as you can and leave the rest to me." This was the only thing I could say right now.

"... I trust you."

"...Thanks... Sorry for the wait I'm ready"

"Please begin then, It's impolite to let someone wait too long." This guy apparently is quite arrogant. Good for me.

[Maximize Magic: Devourer of life]

As I said this from my right hand erupted an etheral looking red skull. It reached that damn guys side almost instantly. While it looks like nothing, when it reaches my enemies...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

It devoures a great deal of their HP, but the worst part of this is the pain. This spell forces the targets body to rupture from within making any target bath in their own blood, sadly it has to begin from the surface so no internal damage to for example heart until there's nothing other in the way. One of my class 7th tier spells, avaible only when infusing my mana with at leat a drip of blood before casting, making my mana take a red taint to its blue colour and making any casted spells red-like in apperance.

"Don't worry I have more for you in storage!"

[Maximize Magic: Crimson Acid"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh"

This time when he's soaked in his own fluids my magic acted and changed everything releated to blood still flowing out of his body and every drop of blood on his body or suit to a potent acid. Or to put it simply, right now he feels like he's bathing in acid

"Let's get out of here!"

Saying this I moved as fast as I could with Evileye safe in my embrace. Hopefully the difference in level will make it extra painfull, buying me more time.

"Y-You... Will pay for this humilaton!"

[Aspect of the Devil: Scything Claws]

Not enough time! He's more resilient than I expected. With scything claws his fingernails should grew over 80cm long. If he hits me it will be painfull

[Mass fly]

Quickly casting another spell and moving to the air was a good decision. When we left to the air, a crappy looking man slashed where we have been standing just moments ago.

"You're not running away!"

[Aspect of the Devil: Tentacle wings]

Wings resembling tentacles erupted from his back and from them shot out smaller tentacles. I cannot let them touch us! This time I quickly used my fang to make a slash wound to let more blood flow and waved my arm in a way to let it cover as much space as it could in such a short time.

[Maximize Magic: Corrosive Mist]

The falling blood changed its structure to corrosive mist capable of dissolving anything given enough mana. This time it's weak, but enough to dissolve his attack. Just as his tentacles flied into the mist, they dissolved before reching the end.

"You are a liability. I'm done playing with you"

"Here it co--"

Just as I was about to say something, I felt movement coming this way and stopped in favor of gaining distance between the newcomer falling from the sky and my already confirmed enemy.

In the moment of distancing myself the figure fell between us with a thunderous clash. Ground beneath him was unable to endure that weight. Stone slabs shattered, dust flew everywhere and before us stood the newcomer, a warrior still kneeling from the force of his landing.

Jet-black armor reflected the moon light making it quite cool in my eyes. A crimson cape fluttered behind him with the nightsky as a backdrop. In each hand he held a greatsword, lightly gleaming with a deadly tint to it.

Just as said warrior slowly rose to his feet, Evileye unexpectedly whispered something to me.

"Luna, I sensed a hint of fear from that demon as he gazed upon that dark warrior, as though seeing something unbelieveling. If I'm right then this dark warrior can help us, if I'm right he's called Momon the black and is an adamantite ranked adventurer like myself his party is called 'Darkness'."

"Thanks, but I'm not sure about this, unless he's really strong he should flee, as I have already you to take care of I cannot help him if he decides to stay."

Our small talk thus ended and now we're back to the situation at hand. I'm glad our talk was short otherwise I might have missed what the warrior said.

"Now then... which of you is my enemy?" His cold voice shattered the silent night
