Treaty and one last fight

After a month of neutrality, Samuel had regained all of his mana back and could go to the Elven Kingdom to present the treaty. When he stepped foot through the gate, the entire kingdom was alerted of his arrival and many powerful mages stood around the city keeping a watch on him. He walks through the streets as the people stare at him in dismay. He saw their worried looks but continued to head into the royal palace. There sitting in the thrones was a grown up princess and the queen with Dobronx standing next to her. Samuel sighed and looked up. Up above him was a massive chandelier with Cerulea sitting on it. He tosses the document to the queen and she reads it.

The queen sighs, "I shall sign this, I hope that this isn't just an alliance and more of a means to become partners politically."

"I believe our king is wanting that. But I have a request." Samuel tells her.

"What is it?" The queen asks.

"I want one more fight with her." Samuel points up at Cerulea and Cerulea smiles happily. She drops down and gets really close to him. She circles around him making snarky remarks and saying how he needed weeks to recover when she recovered in a week.

"Really? You want a rematch? It took a month and a half to recover! But you still want to fight don't you?" She chuckles with a smug expression. She puts her mouth close to Samuel's ear and whispers, "Let's do it then."

Samuel transports them to the same valley that they fought in but this time without any others to jump him. It was just him and Cerulea. Samuel begins to stretch and hops around for a little bit before getting into a stance. Cerulea was really unimpressed and charged towards him. She throws a wide overhead right whilst holding out her left arm and Samuel dodges it. He weaved under her arm and punched her in the face. She drops to the ground and her body skids on the ground. She quickly gets back up but Samuel was already there and kicked her in the face. She crawls and tries to regain her footing but Samuel keeps knocking her down. She quickly blasts him though the shoulder, blowing his entire left arm off. He quickly grows it back and picks her up. He sets her on her feet and she uppercuts him. He stumbles back just enough for Cerulea to sweep his legs.

His head slams against the hard rock and some blood splats out. Cerulea mounts him and begins to beat him down. Samuel dodges one punch, grabs her other arm and kicks her off. As she is on the ground, Samuel grapples around her arm and gets her in an armbar with her left arm being held under his arm. He squeezes hard until he gets an idea. He grabs her arm by her bicep and begins to twist it.

"Ugh...Ah!" Her groan turned into a cry of pain as Samuel twisted her arm. Her skin tore and muscles began appearing. He continued to twist and twist until he heard her bones snap out of place. He then twists and yanks at it at the same time, ripping her entire left arm off.

"Ah....!" Cerulea's screams filled the valley.

"A goddess but doesn't even know how to fight. You're also vulnerable to physical attacks. What a joke." Then suddenly, Samuel was thrown into the cliff by what seemed to be an invisible force. He fanned the dust away and saw Cerulea limping back up with her arm slowly regenerating. She grit her teeth as drool, sweat, and tears dripped. Her arm regenerates and she drops into her knees. Cracks appear in the air above her and then they ascend to the sky. They grow and grow experientially larger and encapsulate the entire sky. Then a hole is formed from the cracks in the sky. More cracks appear behind that and this cycle repeated for what seemed like an infinite amount of times. The cracks slammed into the earth and destroyed everything except for the soil under the hole which was where Samuel and Cerulea were. He saw as the entire earth was decimated out of existence and saw that Cerulea had changed. Her hair was turning bright red and her torn and battered kimono burned off. She was completely naked as blood dripped from above them. There were still the cracks above them but streams of blood poured down on them.

"You...You insignificant bitch! I'm going to erase you from this dimension!" She charges towards him, ripping and tearing his skin, flesh, and bone. His clothes were ripped and mangled along with his whole body. His arms and legs, torn to shreds with little muscle hanging on the bone. His abdomen and chest caved in as his bones were ripped out and stabbed into his throat. His head was crushed and his brain matter was spread around the area. But when Cerulea thought everything was over, her entire world was devoured in pitch black. An endless abyss of nothingness except for the fact that she could feel a solid surface under herself. She frantically looked around and saw Samuel's body building itself back up. It looked like time reversed and his body miraculously repaired itself. Samuel stood back up and he walked around her. Her hair had changed back to its original light blue. She was still naked but that didn't affect either of them.

"Oh my god that shit was painful! You mother fucker, it was not that serious!" Samuel yelled at her.

"Yo-" Samuel cut her off.

"Shut up!" She was silenced by something nonexistent and she dropped to the ground slightly exposing her private area but just enough for Samuel to see it clearly. He took a quick look and turned away to do something. He knelt down and placed his hand into the surface of the abyss. He then pulled out a large red blade. It had an all gold handle with a lion guard. Blood covered the blade and dripped down as it was suspended in the air. Samuel takes the sword and steps towards Cerulea. He raises the blade above her chest but then stops.

"Wait, how old are you again?" Samuel asked her.

"I'm over a few hundred thousand years old, why?"

"Damn. That old and still a virgin." He says as he shakes his head.

"You're a virgin too! I'm a goddess, I can tell the innocent apart from those who've done it." Cerulea tells him.

"So?" Samuel asks her.

"So you can't talk shit that I'm a virgin when you are t-"

"Alright, shut up." Samuel cuts her off and stabs the blade into her chest. They exit the abyss but before that, Samuel makes her the same kimono and some undergarments.

"Damn, that shit took way less mana. Guess I was low when we first fought. And y'all mother fuckers jumped my ass bruh. Shit wasn't even fair from the start." Samuel says.

"But you still managed to knock me out the first time." Cerulea mentioned.

"Yeah, but at the cost of crippling myself for a few days."

"Really?" Cerulea asked.

"Yeah, I couldn't walk for like 6 days. Aight, let's go back." Samuel teleports them back and the queen still sits at her throne while the guards are gone. Cerulea steps in front of Samuel and holds her hand out. Samuel accepts and shakes her hand.

"Thank you for giving me another chance." Samuel thanks her.

"Oh, yeah yeah, no problem. Okay, get going now." Cerulea pushes his head back a little. Samuel cracks his neck and fingers as he walks away and Cerulea just watches him.

"He's a good kid, y'know." Cerulea told the queen.

"I know. He was just doing his job in the valley. We were also the ones who provoked him 5 years ago. Well, I guess... Nevermind, I'm gonna go home." The queen says as she walks away from the throne. Cerulea just stands there in the empty throne room wondering about Samuel and how strong he was.

"That kid...He really is exceptional."
