The battlefield shook violentlyâthe sheer force of Safari and Raven's clash had reached a point where the entire planet quaked beneath their power.
Explosions erupted across the land, splitting the ground apart, sending massive shockwaves that could be felt miles away.
Each strikeâ
Each movementâ
Was an earth-shattering force.
Safari's Forbidden Devil Form and Raven's 100% unstable power continued to collide, neither warrior holding anything back.
But thenâ
SLICKKK!
A sudden, brutal attack tore through Raven's back.
His eyes widened in shock.
"GHHHâ!!"
His balance broke. His stance staggered.
And thenâ
THWACK!
A thunderous punch slammed into Safari's stomach with unimaginable force.
His body buckled. His Forbidden Devil aura flickeredâ
And thenâ
He collapsed.
The battlefield fell silent.
Two figures emerged from the smoke.
The ones responsibleâ
Celestic Warrior OrangeâGregory.
Celestic Warrior PurpleâPatricia.
Raven coughed up blood, his expression twisted with fury.
His voice boomed through the battlefield.
"YOUâWHY HAVE YOU INTERFERED?!"
His glowing red eyes burned with rage.
"You were my elite warriors! My strongest followers! My trusted subordinates!"
Gregory and Patriciaâlaughed.
Maniacally.
Unapologetically.
Like this was always the plan.
Gregory rested his massive mace on his shoulder, a wicked smirk on his face.
"Come on, Raven." He tilted his head mockingly. "Did you really think we were loyal to you?"
Patricia, standing beside him, grinned as she twirled an arrow between her fingers.
"We specialize in betrayals," she said with amusement. "There's no way we'd serve someone forever."
Gregory let out a dark chuckle.
"We used you."
Patricia nodded. "And now that you're exhausted from fighting Safari, it's time to throw you away."
Raven's body trembled with rage.
His unstable aura cracked and fluctuated.
He was furious.
B E T R A Y A L.
"YOUâ!!"
He roared in fury, his power exploding outward.
SLASH!
Gregory blocked Raven's retaliatory attack with his mace, effortlessly stopping it in place.
Patricia, with deadly precision, fired her arrowâ
THUNK!
It buried itself deep into Raven's chest.
He staggered.
His breath hitched.
His body trembled violently.
Gregory grinned. "That arrow's special, Raven. It contains a veryâveryâunique poison."
Patricia smirked. "You're vulnerable in your 100% form. That's why it's working."
Raven's face twisted with agony and fury.
His hands clawed at the arrow.
"You... planned this... from the start?"
Gregory cracked his knuckles. "Oh yeah. We've been watching your every move."
Patricia chuckled. "And now, you're done."
Raven screamed in rage.
And went on a monstrous rampage.
BOOOOOM!
A shockwave of pure chaos erupted from Raven's body, shattering the very ground beneath him.
Gregory and Patricia jumped back, barely avoiding the destruction.
"DAMN YOU BOTH!!" Raven's voice was filled with raw hatred. His unstable energy crackled violently, distorting the air around him.
The poison was workingâ
But it wasn't fast enough.
Raven wasn't going down easily.
His veins pulsed with a twisted mixture of positive and negative energy, his eyes bloodshot, his breathing raggedâ
He was a cornered beast.
Gregory readied his mace, the massive weapon glowing with Celestic power.
Patricia knocked another arrow using her bow, her purple aura swirling like a storm around her.
"Tch... he's still strong," Patricia muttered, her smirk fading slightly. "That's annoying."
Gregory cracked his neck. "Doesn't matter. We'll break him down."
But before they could strikeâ
Raven moved.
Faster than ever before.
SLASH!
BANG!
Gregory barely had time to react as Raven's clawed hand tore into his chest, sending him flying through multiple rock formations.
"UGHâ!!" Gregory coughed up blood, crashing into the distance.
Patricia's eyes widened.
"Damnâ!"
WHOOSH!
Before she could escape, Raven was already in front of her.
His hand gripped her throat.
Hard.
"You think you can just betray me and live?" Raven's voice was low, venomous.
Patricia struggled, her eyes burning with defiance even as she gasped for air.
"Coughâof courseâwe can."
SWOOSH!
She quickly pulled out a dagger and slashed his arm, forcing him to let go.
Jumping back, she aimed her bow at him againâ
But Raven was already on her.
BAM!
His fist collided with her stomach.
Her eyes widened in shock as she choked.
The impact sent her flying backward, crashing into a jagged mountain.
"Tch...!" Patricia wiped blood from her lips, glaring at Raven. "He's completely lost it."
Raven's laughter echoed across the battlefield.
"I WILL TEAR YOU BOTH APART!!"
His power exploded once more, his energy spiraling out of control.
Gregory pulled himself out of the rubble, groaning in fury.
"Damn... this guy is still a damn monster..." He clenched his mace tightly, his orange aura flaring.
Patricia stood beside him, her grip on her bow firm.
"Looks entertaining. Right?"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Explosions tore across the battlefield as Raven rampaged like a demon from hell, his attacks reducing entire rock formations into dust.
His wild swings cracked the ground. His roars shook the sky.
Butâ
Gregory and Patricia... smirked.
They stood calmly, dodging each of Raven's relentless attacks with precise, fluid movements.
"Look at him," Gregory chuckled, spinning his mace effortlessly in his hand. "He's completely lost himself."
Patricia twirled her bow, her aura glowing ominously. "I almost feel bad for him."
Raven snarled.
"SHUT UP AND DIE!!!"
WHOOSH!
He lunged forward, his clawed hand engulfed in dark flames, aiming straight for Gregory's throatâ
But Gregory dodged effortlessly.
And countered.
BAM!
His mace crashed into Raven's ribs, sending the demon skidding backward.
Patricia followed up immediatelyâ
"Fairy Piercing Shot!"
She fired an arrow coated in a strange purple energyâ
THUNK!
It pierced through Raven's shoulder, making him stagger.
Gregory laughed. "Man, this is just sad."
Patricia smirked. "We were just playing when we let you land those hits earlier."
Raven's breathing was ragged. His movements were becoming more predictable.
He had lost control.
His fury was his downfall.
And they knew it.
WHOOSH!
Patricia suddenly vanished from sightâ
Appearing behind Raven in an instant.
SLASH!
She sliced a dagger across his back, making him howl in pain.
Gregory took the chanceâ
"Devil Mace Crush!"
He swung his mace downward, aiming straight for Raven's skull.
BAM!!!
The impact sent Raven CRASHING into the ground, creating a massive crater.
Patricia stood on the edge of the crater, grinning.
"Wow, this is easier than I thought."
Gregory rested his mace on his shoulder. "I know, right? We should've done this earlier."
Raven trembled, pushing himself up. His eyes burned with hatred.
"You... TRAITORS..."
Gregory and Patricia looked at each other and laughed.
"Of course we are."
And thenâ
They charged to finish the job.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Gregory and Patricia mercilessly pummeled Raven, their attacks relentless, their smirks widening with every blow.
"What's wrong, Raven?" Gregory sneered, lifting his mace high. "Didn't you want to be the strongest?"
"Too bad!"
CRACK!
The mace slammed into Raven's ribs, sending him sprawling across the battlefield, coughing up dark blood.
Patricia casually walked over, twirling an arrow between her fingers.
"This is actually fun," she giggled, leaning down to look at Raven's battered face. "You always acted so untouchable, but look at you now. Weak. Broken."
Raven snarled weakly. "Y-You... damn... traitors..."
"And proud of it!" Gregory laughed, stomping on Raven's chest, making him choke in pain.
"Devil Mace Crush!"
BOOOM!!!
The ground shook violently as Gregory slammed his mace down, Raven's body twitching under the impact.
Patricia placed her foot on Raven's neck, pressing down.
"We were never your subordinates, Raven."
She leaned in, whispering mockinglyâ
"We were just waiting for the perfect moment to take everything from you."
Gregory crouched down next to her, resting his mace on his shoulder.
"And now, it's over."
He turned to Patricia, grinning.
"Shall we finish this?"
Patricia nodded, smirking. "Let's send him straight to hell."
They both raised their weaponsâ
And struck Fairy Corruption Nova and Devil Mace Obliteration.
BOOOM!
A final massive explosion engulfed Raven's body, his dying scream echoing through the battlefield.
And thenâ
Silence.
Raven was gone.
Patricia let out a deep breath and leaned against Gregory.
"It's done."
Gregory chuckled. "Yeah. And now..."
He stood up, stretching his arms out dramatically.
"We are the new rulers of Raven's entire demon territory!"
Patricia smirked, stepping forward.
"The Universe's most feared King and Queen."
They looked at each otherâ
And laughed maniacally.
Their voices echoed, a new nightmare beginning for the Universe.
