The fight between Reiza and Lunatic was a terrifying spectacle. For the people watching in the crowd, they were just blurs, streaks of green and black light colliding in the sky. It was impossible to determine what was happening, only that the power was imnse.
But for Scarlett, it was a different story. She just casually took off her blindfold, and the world seed to slow down. The blur motions turned into a clear, normal hand-to-hand combat in the air. She could see every punch, every spell, every movent with perfect clarity.
Lunatic was high up in the air, her succubus wings flapping gracefully. With a flick of her fingers, she created dozens of glowing magic circles at once. From these circles, a storm of fireballs and crackling electric charges shot towards Reiza.
Unlike Lunatic, who could fly with her wings, Reiza was using an air step magic, her feet pushing against invisible platforms in the air as she charged towards Lunatic. She was a green blur of determination.
She carefully dodged all the attacks coming from Lunatic, weaving through the fire and lightning with practiced ease. She pulled her right arm back, gathering her strength, her muscles tensing like a coiled spring.
BAM!...
She directly punched Lunatic in the abdon with the force of a cannonball. But before it could fully connect, Lunatic crossed her arms and blocked it with her hands. The impact was still imnse. The backlash sent Lunatic flying a few ters back in the air, but she still held her balance, a smirk on her face.
Lunatic wasn't done. She pointed both her hands at Reiza, and a huge, complex magic circle appeared in front of her. "Infernal Conflagration!" she chanted. A massive wave of black fire, hotter than any normal fla, roared towards Reiza, threatening to incinerate everything in its path.
But Reiza was ready. She slamd her foot down on an invisible platform of air and shouted, "Earth Magic!"
A thick wall of rock and earth erupted from the ground below her, rising up to block the black fire. The fire crashed against the shield, and for a mont, it held. But the intense heat from the Infernal Conflagration began to lt the rock, turning it into glowing lava.
Reiza didn't wait for it to break. She burst through the lting shield, her body covered in a faint, green and red aura.
Her speed and strength doubled, and she closed the distance between them in a flash. She threw a flurry of punches, each one creating a small sonic boom in the air.
Lunatic was forced to defend, her wings beating furiously as she created a shield of dark energy. "Abyssal Veil!" she shouted.
The dark energy shield absorbed most of the punches, but the sheer force was still pushing her back.
With a growl, Lunatic decided to change tactics. She opened her mouth and let out a high-pitched, bone chilling Roar..
The sound wasn't just loud; it was magical, designed to confuse and disorient anyone who heard it.
Even the audience near the tent closed their ears in pain, So even fell on their knees, Evn though it wasn't directed at them.
"That's so good offensive skill", Richard said, Slightly impressed.
"You finally that impressive? What about their physical strength, It's way beyond ordinary. Are they demon kings of what?", Chiyoko said in disbelief, From he could rember even the fifth demon king Noir wasn't this fast and destructive.
Yet here these two were causing earth to tremble and breaking the nearby structure with ease.
***
Reiza staggered mid-air, her head spinning for a second. It was all the opening Lunatic needed.
She pointed a single finger at Reiza. "Nether Bolt!" A bolt of pure dark energy, thin as a needle but faster than sight, shot out and pierced Reiza's shoulder.
Reiza cried out in pain, but the sound of Lunatic's spell had also snapped her out of her daze. She glared at Lunatic, her eyes glowing with a fierce green light. She grabbed the wound with her other hand, and for a mont, the bleeding stopped as her Oni regeneration kicked in, She healed imdiately.
"You'll pay for that!" Reiza said, her anger boiling like a volcano inside her.
She realized that fighting up in the air was a disadvantage for her. Oni were creatures of the earth, and she felt stronger with her feet on the ground. With a powerful push, she descended, landing hard on the dusty ground, her feet digging into the earth.
"I don't think so," Lunatic smirked, a cruel glint in her eyes.
For the first ti in the fight, a unique skill was used. The words echoed in the air, and a surge of dark black energy enveloped Lunatic.
Woooshhh!...
Lunatic's size began to grow abnormally, right before everyone's eyes. Her body expanded, her muscles swelling, her wings stretching until they were like the sails of a giant ship. She turned into a giant, monstrous form of herself, towering over their open battlefield like a living mountain.
"Take this," she said, but her voice was no longer a human voice. It was as loud as soone roaring, a deep, guttural sound that shook the very ground. Her massive hands, which were now almost three tis the size Reiza's, overly tall body, ca crashing down directly towards Reiza.
"Holy Shit! Run!" many people in the crowd shouted, imdiately turning and running away backwards, their faces pale with fear. They knew what was coming. They knew they wouldn't be in one piece even though the distance between them was quite large.
But Reiza didn't back down. Her Oni pride was on the line. She stood her ground, digging her feet deeper into the earth. She raised both of her hands above her head, crossing them to block Lunatic's punch directly.
BAAAAAMMMMM!....
The impact was beyond anything they had ever felt. It was like a thousand cannons firing at once. A huge shockwave, visible as a distortion in the air, burst outwards from the point of impact. It broke through the sound barrier, causing winds to fly like a violent tornado.
The air was so heavy and fast that it quickly reached the stage where Scarlett and the others were. It hit them like a physical wall, blowing up the ceiling of the stage in one go. The expensive fabric and wood were torn to shreds, and they were imdiately bathed in the warm sunlight of the afternoon.
Even their hair was not protected. Everyone's hair flew backwards violently, especially the won's long hair, before settling down again.
"Holy shit, I think we should run a bit further away as well," Aoto suggested, his voice trembling as he shielded his eyes, fearing that a boulder might co out of nowhere and smash his head in one go.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Scarlett replies nonchalantly, not even moving from her seat. Her expression was as calm as ever.
anwhile, in their open battleground, as the dust and smoke settled, Reiza was still standing. She had successfully blocked Lunatic's punch, but the cost was imnse.
Her arms were feeling numb, and her legs were trembling violently, but she refused to back down.
With a loud roar that was filled with pain and defiance, she pushed with all her might and shoved Lunatic's giant hand away.
Swish!...
She didn't waste a single second. She directly rushed towards Lunatic's feet, which were now the size of small houses. She put all her remaining strength into her leg and concentrated it into a single, powerful punch.
BAM!...
A loud crashing sound echoed across the plains, like sothing huge hitting a tough, unyielding wall.
The punch was solid. It landed right on Lunatic's ankle. The giant succubus queen's balance went off completely. She stumbled, her huge body flailing, and then she fell directly backwards.
Her massive form hit the ground with a ground-shaking *THUD*, literally flattening the ups and downs of the terrain in one go.
She imdiately used her unique skill to go back to her normal form again, the giant body shrinking back to her regular size.
But falling back in her massive form had surely done so damage to her. Reiza could see that she was slightly panting, her breathing a little heavier than before.
"It's your ti to take my punch," Reiza shouted with a grin, her confidence soaring. She saw her chance to win.
She directly rushed at the weakened Lunatic, her fist ready to deliver the blows of revenge. But at that mont, a wide, cunning smirk appeared on Lunatic's face.
"Aack—" Reiza's eyes widened in sudden realization. There was no doubt that the current weakened form Lunatic was showing was just a bait, a trap.
But it was too late.
"Perfect Dream," Lunatic whispered, her voice soft and hypnotic. Her blue eyes glowed with a srizing dark purple and pink light.
Reiza imdiately felt her eyes go heavy, as if lead weights were attached to her eyelids. A wave of overwhelming sleepiness washed over her. Her body went limp, all her strength vanishing in an instant, and she fell to the ground with a soft thud, completely unconscious.
"So, Miss Lunatic won in the end. Although I don't know what kind of attack was that?" Ingrassia says in a bit of confusion, looking at the unconscious Reiza. She turns her head towards Scarlett, hoping for an answer.
Scarlett imdiately felt her saliva get caught in her throat. What was she going to explain to her? That every succubus has this power, but as the succubus queen, Lunatic can literally influence all six senses and make anyone see or feel naughty things?
In short, wet dreams.
"Cough... cough... It's an ability to forcefully put soone to sleep," she replies, trying to keep her voice as neutral as possible.
"Ohh, it was so obvious," Ingrassia slamd her head slightly with her palm, completely buying what Scarlett said. anwhile, Scarlett exhaled lightly, feeling slightly relieved that ingrassia took her words as complete truth.
"Still, I don't think it's over yet. Reiza isn't so easy to defeat," Scarlett added with a faint, knowing smile.
"Really?" Ingrassia turned to look at the battlefield again, her eyes squinting.
Although they were quite far away, being a quite powerful human herself, she could see so complex expression on Lunatic's face. It wasn't the look of a winner; it was a look of frustration and urgency.
Lunatic had used "Perfect Dream" on Lórien before, but that was to torture him, giving him strong ntal trauma and making him unable to distinguish between dream and reality. It was a cruel, invasive attack.
But Reiza wasn't Lórien. She was a comrade, so Lunatic couldn't torture her in the sa way. Besides, Reiza was far, far stronger than Lórien.
Unlike him, Lunatic couldn't control her from a distance. To keep her asleep and truly defeat her, she needed to make physical contact with her for a few dozen seconds. Only then would Reiza's mind completely shut down. Otherwise, she would be waking up any second now.
Lunatic knew this. She imdiately charged towards the fallen Reiza, her feet pounding on the ground, desperate to make that physical contact.
But at that mont, her luck ran out.
SWING!...
Irish ca out of nowhere, her movents a blur of black and silver. She struck her sword at Lunatic's front with precise, deadly intent. But Lunatic, her senses still sharp, imdiately sidestepped and dodged it with ease.
"Hehehe... So it is finally my ti now?" Irish says, a wide, satisfied grin spreading across her face. She could feel the thrill of the upcoming battle, the excitent she had been waiting for.
"You! Stay out for a second," Lunatic says, her voice sharp and annoyed. She wasn't even looking at Irish; her eyes were locked on Reiza, refusing to let her out of her sight for even a second.
"Stop running away from !" Irish shouted, slashing her sword multiple tis in a flurry of attacks. But Lunatic just wouldn't fight back at all.
Instead, she turned around, running away in a wide circle, trying to get past Irish and approach Reiza, ignoring the annoying swordswoman once again.
anwhile, Irish just stood there, being ignored again. Her lips twitched in frustration. At this point, she was feeling pointless, like a child trying to get attention from adults who were busy.
They both just kept ignoring her. Her black death aura was just enveloping her body more and more, its dark colour growing thicker and thicker.
anwhile, unknown to her, Irish had actually done a great favour to Reiza.
Before Lunatic could reach her, Reiza's finger twitched on the ground. The next second, her eyes shot open. She ca out of the dream and imdiately stood up, her body tense and on high alert.
"Shit," Lunatic sighs, her shoulders slumping in defeat. The perfect opportunity had just slipped away from her hands.
However, she didn't fail completely. Reiza's legs were still trembling, and her face was completely, beet red.
"You!... You!..." Reiza pointed her index finger at Lunatic, her hand shaking slightly. "This is cheating! You can't just make see a dream of Scarlett wearing a bunnysuit and spoiling by doing... xxx and xxx...", she shouted, her voice a mix of rage and pure embarrassnt. Her tone and expression clearly showed her frustration.
It had been less than a minute outside, but for Reiza, it had already been about two hours in that dream. All the things that happened in that dream were too much for a tsundere like her to handle.
***
At the sa ti, Ingrassia was almost standing up from her seat, stretching her neck to hear what kind of conversation Reiza and Lunatic were having.
"What are they saying? Did sothing happened?" she says, clearly confused.
The sa confusion was on the other's faces as well. They did not know why the fight had stopped all of a sudden. From their distance, it just looked like Reiza had woken up and was now shouting at Lunatic for no reason.
The only person who could hear them clearly was Scarlett.
Her face was already burning red. She was trying her best to hide her embarrassnt, looking down at her hands and hoping no one would notice.
"Lunatic! You are definitely getting a beating from after this ends," she muttered to herself, her voice a low, threatening whisper.
"Miss Scarlett, are you not feeling well? Your face is so red," Ingrassia noticed Scarlett's heated-up face, her expression full of concern.
Scarlett panicked imdiately. "N-no, no... of course not. It's, umm... it's just the sunlight... yes, sunlight is the problem," she stamred, waving her hand dismissively and trying to act all casual.
