Demon Goddess vs Super Devil

Shockwaves, destruction and the epic of a frozen world, that was the aftermath of every single shared attack of these foes. Sirzechs held his bleeding mouth after one of Grayfia's fists finally connected squarely against his cheek.

'What a ridiculous physical strength…' he thought, recalling just how that dragon had vastly overpowered him as if he was an infant, Grayfia wasn't that strong but her physical prowess wasn't any joke either.

Grayfia had begun to notice as well… although the faith she received did coat a part of her magic attacks -making them stronger- it was mostly the physical department that was enhanced with the faith.

'If I hadn't received master's scale, even after inheriting the Heart Lineage, I'd not be his match...' She thought as they made some distance between one another; taking also into consideration that since she inherited this power, she hasn't trained it even once; her current combat still is merely the enhanced version of her previous one as a devil; she had yet to take advantage of any of her powerups outside the physical department.

Hephaestus' words were in her mind, 'The faith should strength and increase the properties of the gold itself'.

'That means my best bet is to fight close quarters with my golden ice!' Grayfia knew this fight would be over if she allowed his destruction to hit her several times.

*WHOOOSH!*

Wielding a sword made of golden ice, she took on the bet against a Sirzechs who pretty much knew he shouldn't engage in close quarters.

He made his distance and kept sending beams and balls of destruction her way creating craters upon craters of soil.

*CLAANG!!*

The sword crashed against one of his orbs of destruction as he blocked, sending a deadly shockwave that made both of them clench their teeth.

A knee kick from him sent Grayfia back several hundred metres until she used her wins to regain her balance, by then, a ball of destruction was already coming her way.

*CLAANGGG!!*

She slashed the ball with her sword, merely deviating its direction from her, feeling as if she just hit a gigantic truck with how heavy his power was.

A pillar of destruction appeared underneath, on the ground formed by a magic circle.

*BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!*

The pillar of destruction covered the land with a blinding red light, Sirzechs though he had gotten Grayfia with that and quickly dispelled the attack in fear of ending her life.

However, he failed to see the flickery after the image coming from above.

Lucifer gasped and loaded a big ball of destruction that he used to cover himself!

*BAAANGGGG!!*

The frozen golden sword and the ball of destruction clashed, producing yet another shocking release of aura that cleared some clouds and gave way to the moon during the nighttime.

Red lightning of destruction clashed against Frozen gold in a hectic battle of dominance. Grayfia knew she didn't have the upper hand in this confrontation seeing how her ice was being erased little by little, but there was still something else she could do.

Trust her beloved master.

The Demon Goddess yelled and put a stronger force on her slash focusing on her sword; the weapon slowly turned into complete Primordial Gold!

*BOOOMMM!*

The moment the sword turned into Primordial Gold, due to the overwhelming faith, any concept ceased its effect and destruction couldn't erase it anymore; the golden sword sliced through the destruction ball as if it was tofu, piercing Lucifer's chest and drawing torrents of blood.

*COUGH!!*

The man coughed blood and delivered a strike towards her chest just as she kicked his stomach.

*BOOOOOMMMM!!*

Sadly, he felt as if he met dull steel while she broke him like a piece of glass. Grayfia tanked the fist, feeling as if the ice in her body cracked a little while Sirzechs was blown away to the ground like a bloodied rag doll.

*BAAANG!!*

He crashed down, sinking inside the crater for at least two dozen metres; not intending to stand up again.

The maid held her primordial golden sword that went back into the golden ice shortly after; she was panting and coughing some blood in disbelief.

Grayfia touched her chest and felt hurt, that fist of Sirzechs had really done some good damage.

'H-How? I'm supposed to be ice, could it be, his destruction?' She guessed, so far she had felt the impacts of the fists but didn't feel that much damage. Now, however, she felt as if several of her ribs were broken but in the process of repairing.

She closed her eyes and the injury didn't heal immediately, it seems it would take longer than usual.

The silver-haired beauty cleaned the blood from her lips and landed beside Sirzechs who was coughing blood and holding his bleeding chest; she placed the sword against his neck. And felt how the three auras of the satans were ready to pounce at any moment.

"I never thought, I'd be defeated twice… you have become so strong" Sirzechs uttered, looking up at her in a mixture of pride and sadness.

The whole area had turned into a wasteland of destruction and ice, the storm had also dissipated due to the shockwaves; a battle between a super devil and a demon goddess caused unprecedented destruction.

"… it was because of master that I became this strong," she said, not moving the sword away.

"I... figured as much... you're not a devil?" He said, looking at her form and newfound strength, she certainly didn't look like one.

"I'm a demoness now".

"I see, what are you going to do, kill me?"

"This was for my sister's sake… next time you ask anything remotely insulting from me, or try to speak to me in personal terms at all… I'll kill you, Sirzechs… consider our previous camaraderie repaid, stop your suicidal impulses and stop involving yourself with my master or me".

"W-What does he have… that I don't…"

"Many things, however… you're both wonderful men in many ways, wicked in many others. There is a difference, Sirzechs... I love him and not you…" Her words knew no contemplation.

Sirzechs' coughed some blood again, was it because of his injuries or his heart, no one would know.

'Moreover… master is stronger, more handsome, more perfect… h-he has a massive cock too, but I can't say that' the maid blushed much to Sirzechs' confusion and she turned around to leave.

"…" his gaze contorted, "I won't be back to the party… tell Layla and my family that I'll go straight to the Gremory Household".

"What about Layla?"

"She is my wife, my Queen and the mother of my child. Don't expect me to let her go so easily, I may not love her as much as she hopes me to, but she's an indispensable part of my life, as my maid… I need her, I can allow her this tryst... but she is still my wife!"

"Yet you were willing to exchange her for a single night with me".

"That should tell you… how much I appreciate you".

"You're so ridiculously blind, Sirzechs… Layla is way better than me… my master is moaning and grunting… like he's never done with me".

!!!

With a single sentence comprehended... that both treasures had been plundered from him.

"Y-You didn't have to say that" The satan grits his teeth harshly and sat up, trying to take his imagination out of the pit it was trying to dwell into. It hurt way more... for Aphrodite to be disloyal, he always though it was because of her divinity and never faulted her, but Layla... Layla's betrayal felt like his heart was being stepped on constantly, trying to take his mind and senses away from what she was doing, yet unable to.

Like a curse that will forever be stuck in his mind, one in which his beloved wife moans relentlessly in someone else's grasp.

"It is the truth, thanks to you now I have to compete with my sister for my man's affection... I should have killed you".

Saying her last words, Grayfia flickered away since her master was already back at the castle with Layla.

The three Devil Kings appeared beside Sirzechs with Serafall giving him Phoenix tears directly.

"I never thought you'd be defeated twice in the same day..." Ajuka sighed but smiled right after, seeing as if his friend had finally given up. His shattered heart and lifeless eyes only said one thing.

He has given up.

"I need to seclude myself and think... I will be in the Gremory household; in a week I'll be in Lilith for the rating game, no one shall disturb me until then" Sirzechs waved his arm and released his super devil form, his clothes all battered and ruined.

Before the satans could answer, he shot towards the east, not saying another word.

Tonight he had lost the woman he most loved, and then... the woman he most trusted.

To the same man.
