[Sixth Round Over. Seventh Round Begins.]

The pain from the sudden explosion of light finally subsided for Apophis, when he directs his attention back to the princess and the White Reaper, he would be shocked to find him standing there, glaring back at him. He would place the hood of his coat over his head, the blue glow of his eyes, never looking away from Apophis' yellow orbs.

"BACK FROM THE DEAD, HUH? GOOD, YOU STILL HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH TO CONTINUE. ENOUGH FOR ME TO MAKE YOU SCREAM THIS TIME."

He starts to prepare his tail for another attack but was caught off-guard when the White Reaper disappears from the spot he was standing in.

WHERE DID YOU RUN OFF TO, LITTLE BUG!?"

His gleaming eyes scan the room for him, but no such luck was on his side.

[The White Reaper's Turn.]

With new terrain to use, the White Reaper now has more ground to use to keep moving. And to keep out of sight of his large enemy. With a determined look on his face, he begins to hold his hand out in front of him. The blue flames of his coat would burn brightly and soon come off of his clothing and obediently rest on his palm.

With another twitch of his finger, the flames would spread into the air and fly straight at Apophis. The lighting of the flames gave way his movement to him, but by then it was too late to repeal his attack. The flame comes into contact with his body and begins to burn away at him. Rapidly, it starts to spread all the way down to his tail. Burning the scales right off of his body.

[The White Reaper uses Sacred Starfire Series, Assault Skill: Fire Field. Apophis has been Starurned. Turn Ends.]

The great serpent screeches in pain as it wiggles about, trying to get the flames off of it. The White Reaper races down to the ground level to fetch the king who was near his squirms and also reaches the princess. Dragging them over to the large door, he busts it open with a kick to pull them out into the hall that hasn't been touched the crossfire.

[Apophis' Turn. Current Condition: Starburn.]

No matter how much he moved or screeched, the flames just wouldn't let him go. Over time, he would be able to clear his head enough to simply ignore the pain and to focus on the one who sent them to him.

"DAMN YOU, YOU SHALL PAY FOR HARMING MY DIVINE BODY LIKE THIS WITH YOUR DISGUSTING FLAMES OF BLUE!"

He moves his lower body until it partly enwraps itself in an arc around his upper body, the scales that remained on his body were displayed, just as they have begun to stand up on one end and aimed their sharp ends at the White Reaper.

On cue, he would start to get on the move to ensure the scales wouldn't strike the royal family. Getting up on the only wall of the castle that has remained to be standing or untouched.

They all shot out at the same time, this time aiming right at him instead of the whole area like before. This certainly made it easier for the White Reaper to be able to dodge his attack, going from it using a serpentine maneuver.

[Apophis uses Serpent of the Seven Hells Series, Assault Skill: Shattering Armor. No Damage Dealt. Apophis receives Damage from Starburn. Turn Ends.]

Much to Apophis' hatred, he fired the last of his scales off of his body. The flames still persisting on him and stopping his scales from growing back at all. They also made it difficult to concentrate on the fight, as he now relies on his instincts to press forward with the fight.

[Seventh Round Over. Eighth Round Begins.]

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

AHH, WHAT FLAMES ARE THESE? WHY DO THEY STILL BURN ME SO!?" He wailed as he again tries to put the flames out by brushing his body around on the floor. The constant pain from them keeps him from having a clear mind. He still couldn't comprehend that he was feeling pain from flames, as all demones have immunity to fire. And yet.

[The White Reaper's Turn.]

With Apophis distracted, the White Reaper goes in for the attack. He makes his way high up into the wall where the ceiling was, barely hanging in there as the cracks going across it is any indication of its condition.

Drawing out his sword, he would lep off of the wall, aiming his sights at his head. The flames around Apophis would split some of itself off to envelope the blade of the White Reaper's sword, just as he would sink the sword deep onto his head.

Another bellowing screech would come from Apophis as he felt something stab itself onto him. Completely unable to control himself to even turn his eyes in the direction of where it was.

The flames from the sword would pour and spread far along with the liquid pouring out of him, acting as fuel for the flames as they grow bigger on his body, worsening the condition that he was in.

[The White Reaper Uses Sacred Starfire Series, Assault Skill: Starstream. Apophis receives additional damage from Burn.]

His mind felt like it was burning along with his body. He had a difficult time to even get his bearings onto what was going on. All he could see was the blue flames that engulfed him like a raging storm.

[Apophis' Turn.]

His mind was going numb from all the burning. He was more dullbeast than demone now, the flames wouldn't let him make a coherent thought process. But all he knew that he had to do one thing. Kill the White Reaper. His mind snaps back to the situation at hand and he would let out a roar. Alerting the White Reaper that he was back into the battle.

This time, he had his mouth gapped, with the poison dripping from his fangs. His eyes illuminated red, And soon, the entire room would be filled with red orbs, they simply appeared out of nowhere and gradually solidified right then and there. It then became apparent that they were more than plasma.

Once they were completely solid, they would then shoot straight at the White Reaper. He manages to dodge the impact but could see the strong destruction it had. He wouldn't have time to get a good read of how the attacked work as more and more of the meteors would shoot right at him.

[Apophis Uses Serpent of the Seven Hells Series, Assault Skill: Meteor Rain. Attack Missed. Turn End.]

What was the throne room was now completely unrecognizable. Most, if not, all of the decors that made the room a majestic piece of the castle were now torn apart from the beast's wrath for the White Reaper.

Any more and the castle would very likely collapse. Holding his hand back out, the flames that were on Apophis would be swept up in an unknown force and reverts itself back onto the White Reaper's coat.

[Eighth Round Over. Ninth Round Begins.]

To keep the castle still standing, the White Reaper knew he would have to finish the battle as quickly as he could. Especially before it gets too chaotic and would harm the royal family.

[The White Reaper's Turn.]

Weakened, Apophis would pant as his body was slowly cooling down, his mind in a haze as the constant pain was now subsiding and he could finally think for himself now.

Taking the opportunity of an immobile enemy, the White Reaper would concentrate and have the green bolts around his legs would accelerate and energize him drastically.

They also affected the flames as they erupt and envelope the white Reaper in a beautiful single blue flame. It gets Apophis' attention and he turns to see the fire.

"STILL EAGER TO FIGHT, WHITE REAPER. I SHALL COMPLY!"

The flame would shoot off away from the serpent's eager mouth like a comet With the tail end of the flame being the only thing Apophis could even see.

Then, suddenly, he felt something bash against the side of his body with such force that he felt himself being pushed. And then, it happened again, this time on the other side of his body. Barely a second occur when he felt it again. It was happening too many too fast. Like being punched by a firey bullet.

As he frantically waved his head and tail around, hoping to swipe him off the air. This time, the White Reaper goes for the finisher, when he least expected it, the blue comet would shoot into the mouth of the beast and he could feel it rebound all around the interiors of his body. As he wiggles around in pain and terror, he feels the tail end of his body burst open as the comet breaks through him.

"HE'S TOO FAST. I CAN'T SEE HIM!"

With a final roar, the serpent begins to release steam as it starts shrinking down more and more. Soon, the body would morph out limbs and Apophis was now in her previous form. Laying down on the ground, barely holding onto his conscious.
