Point-of-View: Superbia

"!" Smirked Luxuria smugly.
"," Huffed Invidia defensively.

"," I sighed in exasperation, as they glared at each other.
"!"
"!"
"!!!" The both exclaid in unison, before going back to glaring at each other.
We had just gotten done wiping out a swarm of Goblins, about a thousand in total, including a handful of Hobgoblins and a few Ogres.
Luxuria and Invidia had been bickering and snipping at each other the whole ti, and with no Monsters left to keep them occupied, they were fighting a lot more.
They don’t fight this much when Kai’s around, they’re probably wary of annoying him. But since he isn’t here right now, they’re not holding back. At this rate, they might actually end up attacking each other.
"?" I pointed out.
"," Muttered Luxuria with a slight grumble.
"," Huffed Invidia in response.
Co on...
"?!" Snapped Luxuria indignantly.
Yeah, I can’t be bothered with this babysitting crap.
"," I sighed wearily.

Hm...if I work hard now, and Master’s plan succeeds, I will have a lot more free ti once we return to the human world.
In which case, I ought to exert myself in the present, and make things easier for my future self.
Yes, if I think about it along those lines, it should make it easier to put up with this. And perhaps-...
"," I frowned, firing off a bolt of lightning to my left as a Scythe Mantis leapt towards with a sharp screech, interrupting my train of thought before I blasted a hole through the middle of its chest.
Tch, I thought I killed all the Monsters here already, seems I missed one. How annoying.
Now, where was I?
Ah, that’s right, I was thinking about-...
I let out an exasperated sigh as I spotted a Negative Energy blast shooting down towards , spreading out my wings and launching myself into the air as it closed in, bits of dirt and grass flying out as the blast collided against the ground.
I muttered under my breath irritably before turning my attention in the direction it ca from, as two Archdemons ca into sight.
"Looks like it really is true. The forr Sixth Seat has been turned undead."
"How pitiful, to be a slave of a re human."
"?" I inquired, as I glanced between them.
"Hm? No, but we are candidates being considered for the positions. However, that may not be true for much longer. If we capture the human, we will likely be promoted and join the ranks of the Generals."
"Indeed, especially as there are two open spots now. Well, again."
"Yes, we have lost quite a number of Generals over the last two years or so. The forr Seventh Seat, Zeifas Rivenvros, and then you, the forr Sixth Seat. And the two who were killed about a week ago."
"Hm...is it just , or does his Aura seem weaker than it used to be?"
"I was thinking the sa thing, it does appear less intense than before."
"In which case, this should be rather easy, we-..."
"," I interrupted with a sigh, before chanting as I lowered my right hand towards them, locking my gaze onto the pair, "."
"Wha...?"
"What just...? N-No, it can’t be...!" One of them exclaid in realization, as I swapped their bodies.
Since they are both Archdemons, this should not affect them too much, they will be able to use Negative Energy as normal...however, I do not have to worry about their Demonic Arts.
As the pair stared at each other in disbelief, I swooped down towards one of them while charging lightning around my entire body, veering across as they turned their attention to in a frantic panic and unleashed a volley of Negative Energy blasts towards .
I weaved through the air, evading the attacks before zipping in towards one of them, unleashing the charged up lightning in a powerful electric burst as I closed in, the Archdemon starting to take aim at with Negative Energy.
The energy dissipated as my lightning stunned him, his body stiffening up before he gasped sharply in pain as I plunged my claws through the middle of his torso, grasping his Core before ripping it out with a sharp twist, crushing the sphere in my hand.
I tossed the broken shards away as he collapsed onto the ground with a thud, the other Archdemon flying up in alarm and firing out a barrage of Negative Energy blasts down towards .
I swiftly spread out my wings and took off into the air, evading the attacks before unleashing a rapid, streaky blast of lightning, the Archdemon narrowly avoiding it.
"Th-This can’t be...how? How are you able to do this without your Personalis Arma?!"
"?" I inquired, the air around sparking and crackling intensely as I began to charge up lightning, a look of helplessness appearing on the Archdemon’s face...
