Suddently, a Kick crashes into the face of Maylithe unexpectedly to her.

Maylithe crashes onto the ground, disoriented from the unexpected attack. Jim stands protectively holding Wendy in his arms, his burning aura flickering with intensity. His gaze pierces through Maylithe, fury evident in his eyes.

"You won't take her soul. Not while I'm here."

Maylithe, recovering from the impact, snarls at Jim, her voice dripping with malice.

"YOU?! You dare interfere, monster? You will pay for this insolence!"

With a swift motion, Maylithe lunges at Jim, unleashing a barrage of strikes. Jim counters each attack with a speed and precision that catches Maylithe off guard. The clash between them becomes a whirlwind of power and fury, shaking the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Purgus, still in shock from Wendy's heartfelt confession, gathers his strength and rushes to her side. He cradles the unconscious Wendy in his arms, relief and worry washing over him. Despite the chaos around him, his focus remains on Wendy's well-being.

Jim begins,"Purgus, i've been investigating the recent monster attacks against the Kingdom. It all leads back to a curse inflicted upon them by a powerful demon, Maylithe. They were granted unnatural power, but at a grave cost. The demons' motives remain unclear, but one thing is certain—I cannot allow this to continue."

His voice carries a weight of conviction as he continues to fend off Maylithe's relentless onslaught. "The Prince, Howl, entrusted me with this task—to uncover the truth behind the uprising of our kind. I have seen the devastation caused by Maylithe's curse, and I won't stand idle. We must find a way to stop her and break the curse that plagues my people."

Purgus, still cradling Wendy, listens intently, his determination aligning with Jim's words. He recognizes the gravity of the situation and the need to confront Maylithe head-on.

Jim's eyes narrow as he prepares for Maylithe's response. "Are you going to power up, Maylithe? I'm sure you're done toying with these children by now."

Maylithe smirks, her confidence seemingly unshaken despite Jim's intervention.

Maylith" Oh, don't worry. I still have plenty of power left to show. But you, Jim, you just took all the fun out of this little gathering. I was thoroughly enjoying watching those two squirm under my grasp. That's what brings me pleasure."

Her tone is taunting and filled with malevolence as she eyes Purgus and Wendy.

The oppressive darkness engulfs the battlefield as Maylithe's power reaches it's highest peak yet. The sheer magnitude of her aura becomes a towering pillar that seems to touch the heavens themselves. Wendy and Purgus, frozen in place, can only watch in awe and horror as they realize the extent of Maylithe's true strength.

Wendy's wore a shocked expression as her eyes barely opened up, seeing this from the ground ," What? N-No way... this power... it's unimaginable. W –We never stood a chance against her!"

Purgus, struggles against the overwhelming pressure that binds him in place."I can't... believe it! You mean to tell me she was just toying with us the entire time, for real?"

Jim, who stands closer to Maylithe, fights against the force exerted by her immense power. He grits his teeth, refusing to be overwhelmed.

"This... this is on a whole different level, but definitely not unexpected from a Demon."

Maylithe, her eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure, revels in the fear and helplessness of her opponents.

Maylithe: "You finally see it, don't you? The true extent of my power. This is the Power of the Demon of Malice. It's too late. You're nothing more than insects compared to my power."

As the pressure intensifies, Wendy, Purgus, and Jim desperately search for a way to overcome the overwhelming darkness. They know that if they don't find a way to break free, their chances of victory dwindle with each passing moment.

Jim centers himself, his body a picture of controlled strength and focused determination. He takes a deep breath, letting the air fill his lungs, and then slowly exhales, releasing any lingering tension. His movements become fluid and precise, each step calculated with meticulous care.

"Don't worry guys. I'll take care of this mess."

With a sudden burst of red energy, Jim assumes a low stance, his feet firmly planted on the ground. His arms extend outward, palms facing down, ready to intercept any incoming attacks. Jim channels his own powers, amplifying his strength and agility.

Maylithe's power continues to surge, her aura pulsating with malevolent energy. The sheer force of her presence weighs heavily on Wendy and Purgus, their bodies feeling as if they're being crushed by an invisible force. Even their will to fight begins to waver under the weight of her overwhelming power.

Maylithe's smirk faltered as she observed Jim's determination, but she quickly regained her composure, ready to crush their spirits with her overwhelming power.

"You can try to resist all you want, but it's futile. My darkness will consume you, just like it consumed the others before you," Maylithe taunted, her voice laced with arrogance.

But amidst the despair, Jim stands tall, undeterred by the oppressive atmosphere. He gazes up at Maylithe, his eyes filled with an unyielding determination. His instincts kicked into high gear, allowing him to sense the imminent danger that lies ahead.

Maylithe's power reaches its maximum. Jim focuses his mind, honing his senses to their utmost sharpness. He knows that the upcoming battle will test his limits like never before. It's a clash of not just physical prowess but also of willpower and inner strength.

With a swift movement, Jim assumes a battle-ready stance, his muscles coiled like a tightly wound spring. He draws upon his Monster-like abilities as if they were neos abilities, letting the energy flow through his veins. The air around him crackles with electricity, mirroring the charged atmosphere of the impending confrontation.

In the face of Maylithe's overwhelming power, Jim finds solace in the knowledge that he fights not only for his own survival but for the few that he holds dear. The weight of responsibility rests upon his shoulders, pushing him to push beyond his limits and tap into the wellspring of power that lies within.

The Execution grounds transforms into a stage for their battle. Jim readies himself for their bout. His heart beats with a fierce determination, every pulse driving him forward. He knows that this battle will be unlike any other, a true test of his mettle.

Meanwhile, Lisa who is facing Yenza finds herself out of breathe when suddenly, both of them sense the power within the distance.

Lisa breathes heavily "Yenza... Do you feel that? The surge of demonic energy in the distance... It's getting stronger. Something big is happening."

Yenza grits his teeth "Yes, I sense it too, Lisa. But it matters not. Our battle isn't over yet. You thought you could destroy the towers, but I won't allow it. My family, the Celestons, entrusted me with their protection. I must not fail them!"

Lisa raises an eyebrow "Protecting those towers is more important to you than the lives of innocent people? Yenza, you've lost sight of what truly matters. These structures may hold significance for your family, but they're nothing compared to the suffering caused by their tyranny."

"You don't understand, 'Lisa'. The Celestons are the pillars of our society, the ones who maintain order and ensure our survival. I will not let you tear it all down. But... perhaps I've been holding back for too long. Your resistance, your defiance, it's made me forget all about using my true power."

"So, you plan to unleash your full strength now? You think you can defeat me by tapping into that dark energy? Yenza, don't you see? That darkness is consuming you. It's twisting your perception of what's right and wrong."

Yenza's Neos aura expanded, becoming radiant as a surge of power emanated from him, causing the very fabric of reality to distort. Four cosmic orbs of Neos energy materialized behind him, their radiance pulsating in sync with Yenza's rising power.

Lisa watched in awe as Yenza underwent a magnificent transformation. His once dark and foreboding aura shifted into a radiant, golden glow. The celestial patterns etched upon his skin glimmered with a divine radiance, reflecting the immense power coursing through his veins. Wings of pure energy unfurled from his back, shimmering with a mesmerizing blend of cosmic hues.

The ground beneath Yenza trembled as he ascended, levitating effortlessly in the air. His eyes, once clouded with doubt and hesitation, now burned with unwavering determination and confidence. The very air crackled with the raw power of a deity awakened.

Lisa's heart pounded with fear. She had underestimated the true extent of Yenza's abilities.

Yenza's voice boomed with authority, his words echoing across the battlefield. "This power I wield is not darkness but the manifestation of the Celestons' divine energy. It flows through my veins, Witness the true might of the Celestons, Lisa! This is the Deity's power that upholds justice within Neospacia's society. Prepare yourself, for I shall unleash its full force upon you!"

His transformation complete, Yenza stood as a beacon of celestial power, radiating an aura that transcended mortal boundaries.

The sheer magnitude of his power was overwhelming, and she knew that this battle had just become even more unwinnable. She was tempted to make a break for it, to try and live to see another day by making a very daring escape.

Despite her fears, Lisa remained resolute. She couldn't afford to back down now, not when so much was at stake. She had seen the suffering caused by the Celestons' tyranny, and she couldn't allow their oppressive rule to continue.

As Yenza charged towards her, his celestial wings trailing behind him, Lisa braced herself for the impact that was to come.
