The room's airflow was redirected in a way that reflected the volatile power of the one known as the Guardian of HELL. She no longer carried the sa benign coldness as before. Her deanor, as well as her following actions, exhibited a level of coolness befitting a truly terrifying demon.
Within half a nanosecond, Hellion teleported from her position and appeared next to Cassius. Then, with a simple punch, she obliterated him into countless bloody chunks. The death was so quick and efficient that not a single remaining piece of Cassius was left larger than a honeydew droplet.
It was a complete fatality.
"I am sorry that it had to be this way," Hellion said as she retraced her steps and reappeared at the very center of the 5th Floor. "Your destiny; it was unique. Your future was sure to surprise. How you managed to recover so fast also perplexes. But in the end, Fate forced my hand. Your destiny now returns to its origins, prepared to be dissimilated and reconstructed anew."
"Farewell, Cassius of the Mortal Dinsion. Let your soul rest in peace."
With that, Hellion started to glow, undergoing a revert into her base form and then her behemoth form.
However, in the midst of this troubling rewound process, sothing unexpected occurred. Discover exclusive content at empire
Over where Cassius's guts had been splattered, a brilliant greenish-golden light erupted. Within milliseconds, the blood rapidly fused together and began to take on the form of a leg. A full second later, that leg grew tendons that connected to other appendages, a torso, and a head. Only after two whole seconds passed did an otherworldly handso man shoot open his multicolored demonic eyes—eyes that had undergone many transformations thanks to various Bloodline alterations.
"Sothing like this…" For the first ti in a very long ti, Hellion showed genuine shock. "How can you regenerate from absolute death? Even World-Transcending-level self-regeneration Skills aren't capable of performing healing at that level…"
Cassius stretched his arms, cracked his neck, then mockingly matched Hellion's shock. "I don't know. How did I revive? Maybe it was so divine miracle!"
Seeing that smirk plastered on his face transford Hellion's shock into a deep furrow. "...Your revival was not expected, but it matters not. You still aren't strong enough to enter HELL. Your death is still destined."
"Is that so…?" Cassius grinned, then watched as faint sweltering crimson-red feathers erged around his revealed demonic appearance. "However, I don't believe that I'll die today."
[Ordinary Phoenix Bloodline transformation rate has trendously increased due to the sheer perfection that was the Host's death. Everything about it was flawless, and if not for the unique B-Rank, now A-Rank Phoenix Rebirth Skill, such a death would have been impossible to return from.]

"Very interesting," Cassius mused while dumping 80% of his saved-up AP into his Agility stat. "That should bring closer to her power level, I believe."
Just as he expected, Hellion's black system tag lessened by one grade and turned into a flashing red system tag. Furthermore, the overall oppressive aura she was emanating had been substantially reduced.
"If not for my insatiable greed for more loot, I might just be able to match you in terms of speed," he casually comnted as he cracked his knuckles and let his Shadow Monarch's Hood regenerate. "It's just unfortunate that I refuse to lose out on potential benefits."
FWIP!
Cassius blurred forward. His afterimages moved so fast that it looked like they were moving in reverse. For Hellion, however, they were clearly visible.
With a single punch, she whacked the smirking man out of the speed stream he created. Then, with a flash step, she phased next to his flailing body. Grabbing his broken arms, she spun him around and hurled him into a wall, where he then shot out of the 5th Floor. However, before he could mumble déjà vu, Hellion teleported outside the Pyramid.
A golden-brownish energy built up at the tip of her right pointer finger. And before he could cast Dragonfla to counterattack, the energy building up on her fingertip condensed into an energy sphere before shooting out a hyper-condensed laser. Yet, midway through the attack, the beam enlarged tens of thousands of tis its original size, making it impossible to dodge.
KA—BOOOOOOOOM!!!
The bleak land for dozens of miles was blasted to all high hell, with the residual damage extending even further.
It was almost as if an interstellar laser beam had impacted the earth, severing entire chunks of land and imploding everything in the vicinity. As chunks of tallic buildings and barren land sailed through the skies, a truly catastrophic sight was left in its wake.
Cassius, having long since been evaporated, was unable to witness firsthand the absolute destruction still spreading out its catastrophic nature into the surrounding territories. A massive crater had been dug out of the ground, with its depths going as far down as nearly five miles, and its edges stretching out even more than that.
"No matter how good your regeneration Skill is or what miracle you perford, 'Human attempting to beco a Demon', you could not have survived that—"
"Damn, that was nuts! That really hurt, you know?"
Cassius's playful voice cut through Hellion's, prompting her to swivel her head in the direction of a fully nude demonic man. He stared at her with his lips and eyes curving upward, synchronizing.
"What? Are you surprised or sothing?" asked Cassius, mildly amused. "Ya know, I ca back even faster than before. Thanks to you, I am improving."
