(MC POV)
I watched Sophia start to tamorphosize in front of . Her horns grew even longer and bat-like wings sprouted from her back, stretching out to her sides three tis her arm length.
??
She let out a loud wail that tore through the ground in front of her, the wave of destruction heading straight towards .
I lifted my hand and tapped my index finger in the air just as the shockwave reached , the air shimring like the surface of a pool. The shockwave smashed itself into the mirror wall in front of , splitting itself into two and redirecting to my sides harmlessly.
I twisted my arm and clenched my fist, summoning earthen spikes that shot up from the ground to impale the demon lord.
For so reason, I just got a really distinct sense of Deja Vu from doing that.
Sophia's tattoos glowed blue and the spikes rely snapped off the mont they hit her hardened skin.
She grabbed one of the broken off spikes and hurled it at , the spike's speed so fast it actually made a loud 'boom' sound as it travelled towards .
I stepped to the side, avoiding the projectile by re inches.
Sophia ca crashing down towards , both her fists wrapped in purplish flas.
I ducked underneath her left hook but I never expected her tail to co stabbing straight into my gut, flinging away from her.
I skidded along the ground, my feet leaving a small dust cloud in its wake.
The Demon Lord flapped her wings to shoot through the air, closing the distance between us in the blink of an eye.
Once again, her left fist shot towards my face in a straight punch.
Instead of just avoiding it like before, I tilted my head to dodge it before hooking my right arm under her elbow, pushing her arm down in an arm lock.
She imdiately tried to sweep her foot under mine to trip but I managed to lift mine up before she could and used that opportunity to sweep her instead.
She used her wing as a pivot right as she began to fall, pushing herself up into the air and creating distance between us.
Seems like she was proficient in hand to hand combat too.
Not going to let her have ti to recover, I reached out my hand and pulled back a fist, drawing the gravity around her towards .
Sophia was pulled back towards where I had a Lightning spear poised to skewer her.
She let out an animalistic growl while she was being pulled in, the nails on her fingers elongating into sharp points while her tattoos switched to a reddish hue.
She was most likely expecting to pull her into the spear but I hefted the Lightning spear at the last few monts and tossed it at her.
To her credit, she managed to react fast enough and slashed her hand at my spear, deflecting it towards the ground below her.
That, however, left her defenceless against my follow up punch that struck directly at her abdon.
She let out a loud gasp as the wind was knocked out of her before the impact flung her away to crash into the wall on the other side.
I raised my arm into the sky and called down a bolt of Heavenly Lightning on where she had crashed, only to have the lightning bounce off sothing to be redirected at instead.
I narrowly avoided it by leaping away at the last mont, it seems like Sophia has so kind of skill that can deflect any Technique thrown at her.
In that case…
I stretched out my hand and summoned my sword, extending it to its full length.
I hefted my sword just as a figure blurred out of the crash site, giving enough ti to swing my sword in an arc in front of .
The blade stopped abruptly in midair, Sophia having blocked the slash with the back of her wrist.
I grinned, my thumb pressing down on the ignition switch that blasted the sword forward to continue its trajectory.
Sophia only had ti to widen her eyes before she was flung away to crash into another wall again.
She looked up just in ti to see leaping at her with my blade raised high in the air to slam down on her.
I suddenly had a rather foreboding feeling and quickly ignited my sword's boosters again, changing my course in midair.
Just when I did so, the space where I would have been a split second later exploded with Dark Lightning, missing by a hairsbreadth.
Using the sword's boosters to propel myself above her, I dropped down with the blade pointed down at her.
She rolled out of the way just in ti as the sword smashed where she had been a few monts ago, using that opportunity to lunge at instead.
Not having enough ti to pull out the sword, I moved myself behind it instead to use the flat part as a shield.
She smashed herself against my impromptu shield, shoving back a few feet away.
That gave enough ti to pull the sword out to deflect her next flurry of strikes. It seed almost comical?that I was using such a giant sword to deflect blows from her nails.
She tried to lunge at again, her nails scraping through empty air as I leapt into the air and sorsaulted behind her.
I landed on my feet just as she turned around and brought my sword up to her neck, stopping there.
She smiled at , "I yield. Master Lin really does live up to your na."
I rolled my eyes, "Please, you weren't fighting seriously from the start."
"Gufufu, I can say the sa to you, Master Lin."
Her demonic form began reverting back to the one she had before, her wings disappearing into her back while her horns shortened in length.
I stored my own sword away into my ring and reached down to help her up.
She accepted my hand gladly, but instead of pulling herself up like I thought she would, she held onto my hand and got on a knee like she was proposing to .
"Once more you showed your strength, Master Lin. Would you accept an oath of fealty from ?"
"Oath of fealty?"
She nodded, "I will swear myself into your service and bind myself to you as your servant from now."
"Is there really a need to do this? Aren't you already my servant?"
"Not officially, I would like to at least make this relationship official."
Her words made raise an eyebrow, maybe this was so kind of belief or so old-fashioned ritual of hers? Well, no reason to reject that if it would put her mind at ease.
"Alright then, go ahead."
Her smile got broader, "In that case, could I know Master Lin's honoured na?"
Hmm? Have I not told anyone my na before? Oh well.
I bent down and whispered my na in her ear, the Demon Lord shivering slightly when she heard it for so reason.
She bowed her head while holding my hand and her tattoos started to glow again, this ti in a faint black colour.
The entire area around us seed to beco just a little bit dimr and words I did not understand the aning of flowed out of her mouth.
In just a few short seconds, everything reverted itself back to normal and Sophia turned her gaze back at .
"With this, I am now your loyal servant, Master Lin. Command as you see fit."
Ok… Maybe she's also a masochist?
Anyway, I've got more important matters to deal with right now, sothing that involves joining my cute disciples in the bath so this can be left for later!
