"D-Don’t co near ..." lare spoke with a hesitant expression as he looked at Leon.
"Oh, I am coming for you... Better get ready to die," Leon replied with a twisted smirk as he continued walking toward lare.
’There is sothing wrong. He is not cancelling his domain. Even though he knows I’m close to killing him... why hasn’t he cancelled it ?’ Leon thought as he kept closing the distance while keeping his guard up.
...And then he felt it.
The aura around lare suddenly changed—and so did his hand seal.
The mont the Demon Art activated, the pond beneath Leon’s feet began pulling him down.
The whirling blades of Nyxter stopped instantly as they too beca stuck inside the pond.
"What will you do now ?" lare spoke with a wide smile.
"The more you try to get out, the more it will pull you in. If you use even a shred of mana, it’ll drag you down even faster.
So... take your next step very carefully." He explained while looking at Leon with a grin.
"Haha... my body is continuously using mana, you stupid demon." Leon replied calmly.
"So that’s as fast as this puddle can pull down." Leon spoke with a smile as he casually walked over the surface of the puddle.
"N-No... way! H-How are you doing that ?!" lare’s voice trembled as he stared at Leon with a shocked expression.
’The puddle can only suck in things using their own weight and gravity. Since I activated this skill before the fight even began, I already have a hundred stacks.
My weight is equal to air now. It can’t pull in.’ Leon thought as a smirk spread across his face.
"H-How is this even possible? That shouldn’t be possible, no matter what spell you use, the puddle should pull you down." lare muttered, his expression twisted with even more shock.
"Haa... I want to kill you right now," Leon said calmly.
"But I know you can’t be killed here. Your regeneration is already high—and once you activate this skill, it increases tenfold.
Killing you inside your domain is nearly impossible."
"How do you even know that?" lare asked stiffly.
"You see that girl standing over there?" Leon replied, pointing toward Enid.
"She told everything about you guys."
lare followed his finger.
The mont he recognized her face, his eyes widened in fear.
"Mistress of Night... Madam Enid. W-What is she doing here ?"
*Swish*
A white flash crossed lare’s throat.
*Thud*
His head fell into the pond.
But before Leon could even blink, another head regenerated.
’As I thought... Even Blade of Artis won’t work against his hyper regeneration in the domain.’ Leon turned and looked at Rees.
He then raised his hand slightly and did a gesture.

30 minutes ago...
"So you’re saying that inside his domain, even if he’s standing still... it’s impossible to kill him because of his regeneration?" Leon asked Enid.
"That’s why I’m worried, Master," Enid replied grimly.
"lare is not an ordinary demon. He was one of the strongest—soone who was about to be promoted to a General."
"He’ll run out of mana eventually, right ?" Leon asked calmly.
"How long can he maintain the domain?"
"That’s the problem," Enid replied.
"His domain doesn’t consu mana. He manipulates ambient mana using his arts and sustains it."
"Sir Leon... I can deal with his domain," Rees spoke quietly.
"What will you do?" Leon asked.
...

Present ti...
"Hm... very well then," Rees said softly.
He raised his wand and gripped it with both hands.
"ALREMORE HUNTROS SURLOCOUS HULIKINAMA... ACTIVASAROS."
Rees slamd his wand into the ground.
"What are you doing?" Dusk asked seriously.
"A forbidden art..." Enid whispered, her eyes widening. "He’s going to overwrite the domain."
She imdiately stopped her blood from dripping.
Silence fell.
Crack—Crack—Crack—Crack
Cracks spread across lare’s domain.
"N-No... What is happening?! W-What have you—"
CRACKKKKKKKKKKKK
The domain shattered.
Instead of sunlight, red moonlight poured down.
Graves erupted from the ground.
A horrifying graveyard swallowed everything.
"Nothing is more powerful than death," Rees said calmly. "Sensory Blocker."
He twisted his wand.
lare’s eyes turned white.
His hearing vanished.
His breathing stopped.
Taste disappeared.
His skin felt nothing.
"You can’t regenerate if your mind doesn’t know where it hurts," Leon said coldly.
"With all your senses gone, you’re just a sitting chicken."
Leon raised his sword.
Swish—Swish
lare’s head flew cleanly from his shoulders and it didn’t regenerate this ti.
*Thud*
Rees twisted his wand again.
Thousands of black ropes burst from the ground and dragged lare’s body beneath the earth.
"Dispel," Rees said.
The domain vanished.
"Well... I have to say," Leon said with a smile as he looked at Enid, "He wasn’t that strong after all."
"Master... thousands of n are coming this way," Dusk said as he reappeared.
"I see."
Leon pulled out his mask and placed it back on his face.

Hidden Demonic village, inside a dark room...
Regoris is sitting down on one knee, his forehead completely covered in sweat and fear completely visible on his face.
In front him stood a towering figure, only his four green eyes shining in the dark.
"How ?"
"I-I don’t know, Brothe-"
Swish
Thud
Before Regoris could’ve completed his sentence, his head was severed from his body.
"Wrong answer."
In just a few seconds Regoris’ head was regenerated.
"I-I was standing on the-"
Swish
Thud
"Wrong again."
Once again Regoris’ second head fell down on the ground but as soon as the third head was generated, he placed his forehead against the floor with his whole body shivering from fear.
"Enid Snetz, A human, a black elf, a lich and so kind of black beast. But the human was enough to kill him... He played with lare before killing him. He can also use short range teleportation." Regoris replied with a scared tone.
"A human... Who killed one of my most powerful Demon. Hmm... Let’s go and et him."
