"I wonder if four new zombies are enough?" Sanguisa asks herself this as she brings the new zombies as well as three that were with them before to a cave. The zombies were being stored in many places but they all had to be far apart in order to prevent a blight from being created. Currently, she was trudging through toppled over trees in the forest. It wasn't like she was lost, she simply had no idea where she currently was or is currently going. Vampires didn't get lost after all.
At that moment something fell on top of her head. It was quite light and small despite feeling like an intelligent being. It had long hair and something attached to it's back, making it feel like an oversized baby doll.
Picking it up, it turned out to actually be a hurt Daemonium.
"Daemonium?" Sanguisa's voice showed off some fear as she shook the boy wildly. "Are you okay?"
"Of course not," was his reply. "You won't either if you stand there!"
Sanguisa had no idea what he meant until she heard something else start to fall from above. Veritas thrust his sword into the ground as he fell, making a large explosion that destroyed a large part of the forest. The zombies bounced back from that quickly, each rushing in to pummel, kick, bite, anything to hurt the one that hurt their beloved Daemonium, all of which didn't faze the god in front of them. With one slash he cleaved through all seven of them before continuing his pursuit.
"MO!" While being carried by a runaway Sanguisa, Daemonium looked back with tears in his eyes. "PO! JOE! B- Wait, was there some new ones there? I don't remember naming them."
"Worry about names later," Sanguisa said as she ran. "What did you do to provoke that guy?"
"He's some conspiracy theorist that thought Diamond was the demon king."
"Well he was clearly wrong, you aren't demon king after all."
"You still believe that? Anyways we need to get out of here."
The vampire carried the half-demon into the dead area where the blight previously was when Calumnia and Diamond visited. Two of his zombies, namely Pinky and Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorffwelchevoralternwarengewissenhaftschaferswessenschafewarenwohlgepflegeundsorgfaltigkeitbeschutzenvorangreifendurchihrraubgierigfeindewelchevoralternzwolfhunderttausendjahresvorandieerscheinenvonderersteerdemenschderraumschiffgenachtmittungsteinundsiebeniridiumelektrischmotorsgebrauchlichtalsseinursprungvonkraftgestartseinlangefahrthinzwischensternartigraumaufdersuchennachbarschaftdersternwelchegehabtbewohnbarplanetenkreisedrehensichundwohinderneuerassevonverstandigmenschlichkeitkonntefortpflanzenundsicherfreuenanlebenslanglichfreudeundruhemitnichteinfurchtvorangreifenvorandererintelligentgeschopfsvonhinzwischensternartigraum (bolded for your reading convenience) were in the area. Sanguisa was going to rush through but Veritas used a spell to encase the area in a dome.
"The Arena Dome spell only lasts for a few minutes," Veritas monologued. "Which is definitely enough time for you to die."
"Wait," Damonium said, trying to talk his opponent out of doing it like the protagonist tends to do in many popular shows. "Why do you you want to kill me anyway?"
Veritas held his head down low and sighed. "Everyday," he said. "I was ignored by my peers. No one would ever pay attention to me. All of this time I was completely alone, with no one to call a comrade. All I've ever wanted in life was a friend, but no one wants to be friends with me."
"I'll be your friend," Daemonium said.
"Really!" Veritas's eyes shone like the sun, and from that day on he swore to never do any evil and only use his power for good.
Ha, just pulling your leg. There was no chance in hell of that happening.
When Daemonium asked why Veritas was trying to kill him the god just pulled out his sword and let out a small chuckle. "You should know why," he said, readying his blade. "A beast like you is the king of a race of monsters, of course, I'd want you dead!"
He rushed forward again and slashed but this time Sanguisa caught the blade in her nails. She pushed it away and slashed at Veritas, each narrowly missing as he dodged to the sides. Veritas attempted more slashes but was repeatedly parried by Sanguisa, but using a spell that cloaked his sword in a holy light he slashed straight through the nails and forced Sanguisa to now jump back and avoid each attack.
"Come on," Daemonium said to himself. "Think, what can you do to destroy him?" He then saw a glimpse of Calumnia in the background and had a great idea. Well, more like a bit crazy but crazy in the way that it would probably work in this book while anyone who tried this at home would get their head chopped off.

"HEY SMELL-I-TAS!" Daemonium, now in his Diamond form, yelled this to the god that chased them. This did catch Veritas' attention, especially since he didn't like the name Smell-i-tas. "Don't you know how strong I am? In fact, you wouldn't be able to defeat me with my eyes closed!"
"SHUT UP LIAR!" Veritas takes his attention off of Sanguisa and rushes towards Daemonium, who climbs up a dead tree to try and get out of the way. Veritas jumped quickly to the top of the tree and slammed down his sword, but Daemonium's luck made it miss by a small bit. This was enough for Daemonium to lean in and finish him off with his greatest spell:
Lovely Kiss!
Okay, he wasn't finished off, but Veritas was certainly left confused. He had a high Mental Strength stat which was basically durability for mind-altering spells like that, so it didn't do too much at first. However...
"Veritas..." A low growl of a voice came from outside the dome and was revealed to be Calumnia who seemed so angry she could go Super Saiyan at any moment. "How dare you... spoil... my Daemonium's lips."
Daemonium didn't really pay attention as he just used this as a moment to run away while pumping out as many Lovely Pheromones as possible. Lucky for him it was around this moment that the Arena Dome wore off and Calumnia rushed in with the attack.
She threw large blue Lightning Bolts at Veritas, the first two dodged but the third brutally slashed him at the arm. Veritas quickly closed the distance thanks to his high speed, but his sword slash got blocked by Calumnia's staff. He slashed a few more times, each getting parried, before crouching down and tripping her with a low kick. He puts his sword up to stab down at her but Diamond jumps off of a tree and onto his head before running away, prompting Veritas to follow.
Spreading even more of his Lovely Pheromones Daemonium is slashed at many times, narrowly avoiding each. Veritas tries to thrust his sword into the half-demon's chest but Daemonium turns around and uses a Lovely Kiss to catch him off guard. He then jumps off of Veritas' head and uses the small wings on his back that haven't made an appearance in forever to float to the top of another tree in the vicinity. It is easily chopped down and Daemonium is forced to rush away. Calumnia and Sanguisa try to make an attack but get pushed back by Veritas, who clearly has Daemonium as number one priority. He quickly runs up to Daemonium and makes a slash towards the neck in order to end him.
Daemonium heard the sound of a sword slicing flesh, but has no idea what even happened. He turns around to see a zombie gracefully block him from the assault, while in the process ending his own undead life.
"Wait," Daemonium said, full of shock. "Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorffwelchevoralternwarengewissenhaftschaferswessenschafewarenwohlgepflegeundsorgfaltigkeitbeschutzenvorangreifendurchihrraubgierigfeindewelchevoralternzwolfhunderttausendjahresvorandieerscheinenvonderersteerdemenschderraumschiffgenachtmittungsteinundsiebeniridiumelektrischmotorsgebrauchlichtalsseinursprungvonkraftgestartseinlangefahrthinzwischensternartigraumaufdersuchennachbarschaftdersternwelchegehabtbewohnbarplanetenkreisedrehensichundwohinderneuerassevonverstandigmenschlichkeitkonntefortpflanzenundsicherfreuenanlebenslanglichfreudeundruhemitnichteinfurchtvorangreifenvorandererintelligentgeschopfsvonhinzwischensternartigraum!? Why?" The zombie looks back with a small smile before being put to rest for good.
"Why?" Daemonium asks this, again and again, receiving no answer each time. His grief and sadness made him cry it out even more, but he never got any sort of response from the zombie. He was dead, and nothing could be done about it.
Veritas doesn't care about the zombie and aims to kill Daemonium, but the second part of his plan kicked in. Thanks to Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorffwelchevoralternwarengewissenhaftschaferswessenschafewarenwohlgepflegeundsorgfaltigkeitbeschutzenvorangreifendurchihrraubgierigfeindewelchevoralternzwolfhunderttausendjahresvorandieerscheinenvonderersteerdemenschderraumschiffgenachtmittungsteinundsiebeniridiumelektrischmotorsgebrauchlichtalsseinursprungvonkraftgestartseinlangefahrthinzwischensternartigraumaufdersuchennachbarschaftdersternwelchegehabtbewohnbarplanetenkreisedrehensichundwohinderneuerassevonverstandigmenschlichkeitkonntefortpflanzenundsicherfreuenanlebenslanglichfreudeundruhemitnichteinfurchtvorangreifenvorandererintelligentgeschopfsvonhinzwischensternartigraum's honorable sacrifice Veritas had inhaled enough Lovely Pheromones along with the boosts from the Lovely Kisses that he couldn't kill Daemonium. He couldn't kill someone with such lovely wine skin and silky long hair. Despite feeling he had to his heart beat harder with every breath. Was this, love?
Calumnia and Sanguisa beheaded him before he could figure that out though.
