Miko's words carried a domineering pressure, as if he was a king looking down on the world.
Luka who was unable to move could only look up at him, with a shocked expression.
“Didn't you hear me? Get up. I'm not done fighting you.”
He looked down on Luka with cold eyes that lacked emotion.
“I can't move.”
“….Is that so?”
Miko's hair moved and wrapped itself around Luka, and made her stand up.
“Then it's my win.”
“No! I haven't lost yet.”
To everyone's surprise Luka didn't concede defeat, even after all the damage she took.
Only Miko showed no reaction.
“Then you can still fight?”
“That's right!”
“Even though you can't move?”
“I'm still alive aren't I?! As long as I'm alive I won't admit defeat!”
*Bam!*
“Guh?!”
Without prior warning, Miko used his hair to slam Luka on the ground.
He lifted her up again.
“You can't even defend against my hair, and you still think you can win.”
“…T-That's right!”
*Bam!*
He slammed her onto the ground again, and lifted her up again.
“The current you is too weak. You aren't even qualified to stand before me; and yet you think you can win?”
“Hah~. Hah~. O-Of course!”
“Are you an idiot? That's completely illogical.”
Miko tightened the grip around Luka's body, causing her bones creak.
“Luka!”
Seeing their leader in a desperate situation, the members of Fate all moved towards Miko at once.
Robin even broke free of Leon's hold and charged out first.
No one tried to stop them, because they would've probably done the same in their position.
“Get away from her!”
Robin filled his broken body with [Raw Mana] and forced it to move.
He jumped and threw a punch at Miko.
“Scram.”
Miko moved in front of him, and slammed his foot in Robin's torso.
*Bam!*
“Guah?!”
Robin's eyes rolled to the back of his head, and blood sprayed out of his mouth like a hose.
It was the heaviest blow he's ever felt in his life. He almost died instantly.
He was blown away and slammed into Saika, and reopened his wounds.
“You wouldn't be able to beat when you're at your best. What makes you think that you could beat me bent up like that?”
Miko swept a cold glare at them.
“Attack me again and I'll punch a hole through your chests.”
His words and bloodlust made them all froze in place for a while. They could tell that he would really do it.
However-
“Don't underestimate us! Let Luka go, you brat!”
They still ran towards death.
“Idiots.”
Miko turned to face them, and instantly thought of a hundred ways to brutally slaughtered in a second.
In the end he decided to ripped their heads off after punching a hole through them.
As he was about to move to do that-
“Stop! Don't throw your lives away!”
Luka's desperate shout made them all stop.
“Don't worry about me, I'll be fine!”
“What are you talking about?! He's going to kill you!”
Aya shouted.
“He won't!”

“How are you so sure?!”
Ana shouted.
“Because he needs me!”
Luka's words shocked them. She ignored their shock and faced Miko.
“You need me right, Gamiko?”
“…….”
Miko didn't respond. However Luka continued.
“I know that you're interested in me, almost to point of obsession. And I know that it's because you see yourself in me.”
Luka started grinning while blood was still fresh in her mouth.
“I know because it's same for me. I feel a strange attraction towards you as you do to me. It's because we're similar. That's why you can't kill me, because killing me would be like killing yourself!”
*Bam!*
“Cough?!”
Miko slammed his fist in Luka's stomach.
“Luka!”
Ana and the others moved towards Miko again.
He turned and faced them with a glare.
“[Shut up and Kneel].”
*Bam!*
They suddenly stopped and kneeled so hard their kneecaps broke and the ground crack.
They couldn't speak no matter how much they tried.
“T-This is [Rule]!”
Sasha was the first to realize what Gamiko did to them.
He used the special skill [Rule] to suppress them.
Miko used his hair to straighten the slouching Luka and stared in her eyes.
“I'll admit that what you said was true. I am very interested in you. I do see apart of myself in you. I do feel a strange attraction towards you. However…”
*Stab!*
“….?!”
Luka looked down and saw a hand inside her stomach. It was Miko's scaled covered hand.
She then looked up at Miko's apathetic face.
“There's no one in this world I cannot kill.”
He removed his hand and showed it to Luka.
“And the person I want to kill the most is myself.”
He used the hair to slammed her on the ground a few times before he threw her to side like she was garbage.
This brutal sight gave everyone chills.
“…This isn't good.”
Sasha said solemnly.
“I know. That girl is going to die.”
Said Leon.
“This is why I don't like [Dragonite]. Mikky is too heartless when he uses it.”
“I agree.”
“But the power is real though.”
The trio chipped in.
However Sasha shook her head.
“That wasn't what I meant.”
Everyone looked at her and saw that there was a trance of panic on her face.
“That Luka girl is going to rampage.”
“Huh?”
Sasha didn't say anymore. She just watched Luka who laid on the ground.
Luka's mind was foggy, and her body was numb.
She had lost contact with all of her senses.
It was then everything came rushing back at her all at once.
The pain. The suffering. The humiliation. The despair.
“Guahhhhh!”
Her body started burning up, like she was laying in a bed of fire.
She started spasming so hard her limbs were being thrown all over the place.
“W-What's happening?”
Luka's sudden behavior shocked everyone expect Sasha and Miko. They started to wonder if she was dying.
“Guaaahhh!”
An ominous red and black aura started leaking out of her body.
Seeing that, Hina couldn't help but ask Sasha.
“What's going on?! What's happening to Luka?!”
“Her blood was forcibly activated.”
“Huh? Her blood?”
Sasha nodded solemnly.
“Luka isn't human. Well, not 100% percent human anyway.”
“Luka isn't human? Bullshit! If she isn't human then what is she?!”
Sasha looked at Robin who was surprisingly still conscious. Seeing how he was still able to shout, Sasha couldn't help but be impressed by his durability.
She looked at him, and the other Fate members who were no longer under the effects of [Rule].
“It's not surprising that you wouldn't know. Even I who've seen hundreds of different races didn't realized at first. Much less you guys who've probably never seen races other than humans and Beastmen.”
She looked at Luka whose hair was slowly turning Snow White, and had markings appearing on her body.
“That girl is a Cambion. The offspring of a demon and a human.”
“Graaah!”
As if confirming Sasha's words, Luka's body floated off the ground while she released a beastly roar.
The moment she stood on her feet, they could see her wounds fastly healing. Especially the hole in her stomach, was healing with incredible speed.
“……”
Miko patiently watched her wounds heal. He even used his hair like a stand, and leaned back with his arms crossed.
He looked unusually relaxed, as if he had expected this.
Luka's wounds healed in less than a minute.
There was a savage look on her face. She spotted Miko and pounced at him.
Miko used his hair to launch himself over her head.
Luka stopped and pounce at him with a punch. Miko thrust his foot forward.
*Boom!*
Miko's foot clashed his Luka's fist. Neither of them budged, they were equal.
Miko spun around with a spin kick. Luka ducked under it and slashed him with her claws, while howling.
Blood sprayed from Miko's chest.
His hair then swat Luka away.
She twisted her body unnaturally in the air and landed on all fours. She then pounced at Miko like a lion.
Miko swung his claws at her, but Luka's dodged it with cat-like reflexes, and circled around Miko's back.
She used her claws to stab into his back.
“Guah?!”
Miko shouted out in pain for the first time since using [Dragonite].”
He kicked Luka away from behind him, and rubbed where he was stabbed. When he brought his hand in front of his face and saw his blood-
He snapped.
“RAWR!”
An inhuman roar escaped his throat, caused the earth itself to shake.
He glared at Luka and rushed at her. Luka also pounced at him.
Miko kicked Luka in the stomach and knocked her away.
Luka flipped and rushed again like nothing happened. Miko slashed his claws, she dodged it and sunk her fangs in Miko’s neck.
Luka then did something unbelievable. She lifted Miko off the ground using only her mouth.
And then like a dog ripping up a chew toy, she swung him all over the place before flinging him one side.
Blood poured from Miko’s neck, and flowed down his chest.
Luka then pounced at him again. Miko rushed forward and blocked her claws with his hair. He then slashed her with claws.
Luka jumped back, but Miko immediately leaped and tried to stomp her into the ground.
She leaped back again.
*Boom!*
Miko's stomp created a crater.
He didn't waste time and immediately chased after Luka.
He slashed her across the face. She stood her ground and stabbed him in the chest.
Miko roared and sunk his fangs in her shoulder.
Luka screamed out and started slashing Miko's back in a frenzy.
The pain of having his skin ripped off made Miko released his bite.
He uppercut Luka and hit her with his hair.
But Luka grabbed it, and pulled Miko towards her.
She headbutt him, and rattled his brain.
Miko angrily thrust his hand through her stomach, but as if she didn't mind it Luka slammed her knee in his face.
Miko took a few steps back and slammed his foot in the side of Luka's face.
Luka dropped to the ground and then got on all fours. She pounced like a beast and headbutt Miko in the midsection.
He was blown away and flipped a few times.
The moment his feet touched the ground, he saw Luka midair swinging her fist down at him.
He jumped back and her fist hit the ground.
*Boom!*
The fist created a huge crater.
Miko aim a roundhouse kick at her head. She ducked under it, and aimed a kick of her own.
Miko used the momentum from his leg missing its target to send a stronger spinning kick at Luka.
*Boom!*
The two legs clashed and destroyed the ground under them. The two then leaped back and glared at each other.
“….I’ve never seen such a savage fight. They're going to kill each other if this continues.”
Said Leon.
“When demons are pushed to the brink of death, their demon blood boils and take over. They lose their senses and become pure savages. This is what makes the demon race so frightening. The Saevio Clan curse is similar to this; but real demons are much more terrifying.”
Sasha watched as Miko and Luka continued to rip each other apart with their claws and fangs.
“I got to stop them.”
She took a step forward, but a hand grabbed her by the shoulder.
“Don't be stupid.”
It was Leon.
“You would only get ripped to shreds if you step between them. And even if you could stop them it would only be by activating your [Death Magic]. Are you planning to kill your own son?
“…Then what should we do? They'll die at this rate.”
“I'll go. If I used the demon curse, I should be able to stop them.”
“Don't be stupid. You're too worn out. If you activate the curse your body won't be able to take it.”
*Boom!*
It was at this moment Luka and Miko got even more savage and bloodthirsty.
Their blood sprayed through the air and stained the ground.
Their roars were terrifying and earthshaking.
No matter how serious of an injury they receive, they continued to attack each other without a hint of hesitation.
It was like they had lost all of their humanity.
“We have no other choice.”
Leon focused to activate the demon curse.
“Cough?!”
However, he failed horrendously. He coughed up blood and fell to his knees.
Sasha hastily supported him.
“I told you so.”
“T-Then what should we do?”
Sasha opened her mouth to say something, but before she could she heard Miko's and Luka's howling grow even more beastly.
The two were a couple of meters away from each other, and was glaring with heavy injuries on their bodies.
They were both on all fours.
After almost a minute of glaring, the two charge at each other.
Sasha could tell from the intensity in their eyes, that they intended to finish it here.
“Dammit!”
She steeled herself and decided to stop them even if it meant suffering serious injuries.
However, before she could move the unbelievable happened.
Just as Miko and Luka was about reach each other, a light flashed between them and which caused them to stop.
When the light faded, two persons who possessed godlike beauty and grace, stood between them.
“W-Who are they?”
The sudden appearance of the man and woman shocked everyone there.
“Tiamat!”
After getting over shock, Sasha shouted happily. She never thought she would be happy to see this woman again. But if it's her, then she shouldn't have any problem stopping the fight.
“T-Tiamat?”
Hearing Sasha say Tiamat, made everyone expect Leon filled with shock. The woman in front of them was a Higher Being. A true Goddess and creator of the one of the strongest race in history; Dragons.
“Holy crap! She's hot!”
That was first thing to come out of Ace’s mouth. All the men couldn't help but nod in agreement.
However Tiamat wasn't the only one there.
“…If the woman is Tiamat, then man must be Ouroboros?”
Said Robin.
“Lulu.”
Ouroboros looked at Luka's savage appearance with sad eyes. He didn't want to see her like this if possible.
Tiamat on the other hand-
“Oh! Seeing it up close you really look like a dragon! Even your scales are like mine! As a mother I feel so proud!”
She excitedly observed Miko's [Dragonite] form, while moving around him.
“Rah!”
Miko slashed his claw at her when she got close.
She didn't jump back or dodged; the claw stopped before it touched her face.
“Oh? Even though you've lost your senses, you still recognize me as your soulmate. I commend your loyalty.”
She said while grinning.
She waved her hand and Miko’s dragon-like features immediately disappeared, thus returning him back to his original appearance. This was with the exception of his hair that was now longer.
“Guah?!”
He screamed out in agony and fell into Tiamat’s embrace.
“How's it going your end, Boros?”
She spoke without turning back.
“She won't attack as long I'm in front her.”
Ouroboros walked up to Luka and kissed her on forehead.
Luka immediately collapsed into his arms.
“Rest Lulu. You've fought enough today.”
Ouroboros then turned and faced the others.
He spoke with a powerful and commanding voice.
“This fight is over! Because I was the one who propose we stop the fight, I declare it Gamiko’s victory!”
“Alright! That's three wins in a row! My children are #1!”
Tiamat shouted while lifting Miko like a championship belt, and shouting “We are the champions!”
It was on this weird note, that the battle between Gamiko Dragna and Luka Flameheart came to conclusion.
