Darius Supreme-Novel

"Krek krek krek, little girl, you look absolutely tasty! Derrick here loves them young and supple, so that when I defile you with my demon cock, you'll scream like a pig in heat, krek krek krek!"

The Fire Imp released some extremely vile words that made Reina's tense expression change to one of anger. Her nervousness instantly bled away as she focused, aiming to put the hurt down on this vile thing.

Derrick had obviously put those words forth in order to disrupt Reina's state, but he would have been better off acting menacing by staying silent. Right now, he had only dispelled his advantage in terms of her mental state, truly leveling the playing field.

When the fight began, the Fire Imp wasted no time summoning the Giant Fireball which was about the size of a large SUV. It spent about 3 seconds generating and expanding in size before being launched at Reina.

Reina herself remained calm in this period, nocking three arrows and attaching a different spell to each arrow.

The three arrows contained custom spells the girl had created for her archery over this period of time, and they were truly insidious. If Derrick had a system that could see their effects, he would cancel his flashy Giant Fireball and avoid them desperately.

However, he did not and could not, so he fired his blast just as Reina's arrows curled around the fireball and hurtled towards Derrick. The Fire Imp snorted arrogantly seeing mere wooden arrows rush at him, using his Fire Shield to block the three.

This was obviously what Reina had predicted and was naturally a big mistake, as the first arrow to strike contained Wind Whisper. It hit the barrier and passed through, striking Derrick right in the eye, making him screech in pain. This forcibly dispelled his shield as he was in no state of mind to maintain it, allowing the arrow with terror to strike his right-wing.

Suddenly, Derrick's mind was filled with the sight of Reina, whose size had doubled, and her features shifted, looking like a cruel huntress of the gods. Her body radiated Holy Energy that threatened to burn his demonic nature away and edify him into a benevolent being.

This terrified him more than anything, as most killed Demons would simply respawn in Armadon after sacrificing some of their Demonic Energy, but they would truly die if cleansed by Holy Energy.

Derrick screamed and tried to flee backward, but was still struck by the final arrow, which had been imbued with Mana Sink. Immediately, he lost connection with his mana, unable to use any skills or spells that required it

This sudden loss of power synergized with his terror status, inducing a greater fear in him, making him panic as if he was on the verge of edification.

On Reina's side, she calmly manifested a Water Shield and blocked the incoming fireball with ease, despite it being easily twice her size. After all, her Will was almost double that of Derrick's Magic, so his spells or attacks doing her any damage was but a pipe dream.

After clearing the attack, she sneered at the fear-filled Derrick and nocked a single arrow. To this, she attached the Light element spell, Purify. While its damage was not high as it was a mere Basic spell, its effect was to deal Light element damage to the Demon and exacerbate his fear status.

The arrow struck Derrick's other eye with sickening accuracy, making the Demon howl as he felt his boy ravaged by the light energy. While it wasn't as potent as what he expected, it was still enough to cause him some serious pain.

Reina kept firing, striking different parts of the imp with a cold expression, the Light Energy attached to each subsequent arrow taking effect immediately and doubling Derrick's pain with every strike.

The Fire Imp soon fell to the arena floor in a heap, barely twitching after suffering such severe abuse. Reina walked over and coldly stomped his ugly head into the ground, glaring at the crowd around the arena to see if there was anyone who still dared to doubt her.

Seeing as there was abject silence as the various Grandmasters assessed the previous battle and saw her in a new light, she smirked with satisfaction.

She returned to her side and waited for Martin to select her new foe. She was surprised, though, when she saw a young woman of extreme beauty leap onto the stage, her long platinum blonde hair flowing in the wind.

It was an Elf! Specifically, a Wood Elf who wore a set of leather clothes and had a longbow in hand. Her flat gray eyes focused on Reina with a look of genuine interest.

"Young Lady, your skills in archery are exemplary. I would like to contest with you to see who is better!"

Her feminine, yet powerful voice moved Reina, as this elf lady was something similar to what she pictured her grown-up self to be. Beautiful, elegant, powerful, competent, and always in control.

As such, Reina couldn't help but feel a trace of respect for her, but she also felt battle intent oozing from her mind, subconsciously wanting to test herself against the blade that was this woman.

Reina raised her bow and pointed at the woman with a solemn smile. "It would be my honor."
