"Are you ready to be punished for all your wrongdoings?" Reign's voice bood with a powerful, commanding tone.
It was as if he was speaking through a cave, with every word echoing like a ssage from a higher power.
This wasn't intentional of him, but because demons were copies of devils, they were especially weak to the words of an angel.
To them, his voice echoed even more, amplifying the effect.
In fact, if Lilith were here right now, her blood would be boiling just from hearing his voice.
"What's happening?" the demon asked, panic clear in its voice.
It had never faced anything like this before. Every instinct scread for it to flee, as if its very being knew it was in the presence of a force far beyond its understanding.
"I told you, I'm here to punish you," Reign declared.
"You've killed and eaten too many humans to gain more power. You've sinned, and now the ti for reckoning has co. Do you have any last words?"
The air around him buzzed with powerful divine energy that was ready to cleanse everything tainted.
"How dare you!" the demon roared. It felt like his opponent was mocking it, and in reality, it was spot on.
Reign had deliberately mimicked the angels he used to see on TV when he was a kid, just to ss with the poor demon.
"CAW! CAW! CAW!" The demon flapped its wings, and negative energy surged around it.
Feathers from the floor started to lift and swirl around.
They grew bigger and sharper, changing shape as they floated up.
Soon, they turned into black blades that looked like swords but still had a feather-like texture.
These new blades glowed with a dangerous energy, making them look even more nacing.
Each blade was sharp and moved through the air like it was alive. They floated around the demon, ready to attack.
"I won't die here!" it spat defiantly. "I'm so close to becoming a demon lord!"
Reign smirked, finding the claim laughable . "A demon lord? Really? With power as weak as yours?
He rembered his old body at the sa rank, which had been at least ten tis stronger.
The demon's anger exploded.
"CAW! DIE!"
It sent a whirlwind of sharp projectile flying straight.
Each feather zood through the air quickly, making a scary whistling noise.
Reign, however, stood his ground.
"You should have just accepted your fate," he said, shaking his head as he lifted his sword high with both hands, followed by a bright, golden energy swirling around the blade.
"JUDGNT!" Reign declared as he brought down his sword.
A bright arc of light shot from the blade, cutting through the storm of feathers. The energy from the sword purified everything in its path.
"NO!!!!!!!" the demon scread as it tried to block the attack with its remaining feathers. But the divine energy easily burned through them.
In an instant, the demon's body was completely obliterated, turning into nothingness.
'What the hell,' Reign muttered to himself. His divine energy worked too well, completely erasing his food.
Fortunately, once the divine energy returned to him, he felt a boost in his experience points.
[DING 19,700 souls]
'Why did I get souls ?' he mused inwardly.
[System: Host, whenever you kill a demon in your angel form, you absorb all the souls it had devoured]
'Only 19,700? That's rookie numbers,' he muttered, shaking his head in disappointnt. He felt the crow demon was too lazy when it ca to killing humans.
Stay updated with empire
Unlike him, who was close to joining the 8-digit Kill Demon Club.
'Well, I can't expect too much from a third rate demon,' he sighed.
After wrapping things up and absorbing the corpses of the Divergents, he turned around and began to chase after Celine.
He wanted to make sure she didn't make a stupid blunder, like getting herself killed by soone who was already half-dead.
Reign heard the distant wail of police sirens approaching, but he didn't care.
In no ti, he found himself on the roof of another warehouse where she was locked in combat with her ex-master.
"Still not done?" Reign asked, his tone dripping with disappointnt.
Ryder clicked his tongue in annoyance. With Reign here, his chances of survival were now zero.
'Where the fuck is that demon?' he thought to himself. 'Did that thing run away?'
Reign saw Ryder's nervous look and decided to ss with him.
"Don't wait for that bird brain," he said with a chuckle. "I already took care of it."He made sure to get his ssage across loud and clear.
Ryder's heart skipped a beat as the words struck him.
His thoughts raced, 'What? Killed it? That can't be—'
But before he could fully process everything, Celine's blade flashed in his peripheral vision.
She moved with the intent to kill, her eyes locking onto the tiny opening his distraction had caused.
In one slashing motion, her blade sliced through his arms, severing them cleanly.
SLASH!
"ARGHHHH!" Ryder let out a painful scream, stumbling back as blood gushed from the stumps where his arms had been.
"That's for all the lives you ruined! !" Celine yelled, her face full of anger.
Her eyes were burning with determination as she spun her dagger around.
"This is for all the suffering you caused !" she roared, bringing her dagger down in a fast, stab, aiming straight for the chest.
He tried to block with his remaining hand, but Celine's other dagger was already on its way.
It slashed across his chest, leaving a deep cut. He grunted in pain as he staggered back.
Before he could recover, she kicked him hard, sending him sprawling to the roof.
With a backflip, she landed a few feet away, her eyes never leaving him.
He struggled to get up, but the blood was pooling around him. His strength was fading quickly.
Celine stood tall, her breath steady, ready for the final strike.
"This is the end for you, Ryder!" she declared, her eyes filled with fury.
