Church defender

[08:56] The final.

The sounds of endless clash between two metallic objects; the threads and the sword was heard throughout the night as the demon's strike begun to drive deeper into the Church's territory, and with one final strike from the demoness - There was silence.

"You need." Achyra's threads begun to wrap her right hand, forming some sort of a gauntlet-like weapon due to the hardness of it - And as Maria starts to form her final decisive blow, the superior speed of the Arachnoid drove her hand through the blade - landing right into Maria's chest, forcing her down.

"Experience." The continuation of her sentence came up with a word - As corrupted mana of occult began to collect around the left hand of Achyra - The one that wasn't wrapped by the threads of her own.

Slowly, it reached Maria's forehead - hurting her soul just by a little bit which may still cause an intense amount of burning sensation throughout the woman's body, it was her life force being tormented after all.

The corruption begun to burn a little bit of her soul until it broke apart, just by a small bit for an early taste.

"You will return to me one day, far stronger than I can imagine, so that your body and your soul will become a delightful luxury to my tongue and minds." A reminder before throwing Maria to the side where the injured ones are.

And when everything is done, her attention was now on the last potential opponent; Andrew.

"And now you, young man." With an index finger pointed at him, she continues. "Are you planning to join the two unfortunate individuals or will you back up and allow me to leave with my victory?"

This was a serious question that will determine the next scene.

[09:08] Andrew watched the two battle the demon on the Church grounds, but they couldn't bet the creature. It seems the battle had pushed into nighttime and this was even better for the man.

He'd slow twirl his staff around his body allowing it to accepted the energy from Vrona. He'd smile at the Demon as his body seemed to be overloading with a large bust of power.

"My name is Andrew Mercia and you're attacking a place I soon plan to become a Priest of; however, you could careless from my understanding.

It's a shame you come to this holy land and believe I'd let you walk way without facing me. I wouldn't be any better than the people that allowed this holy place to fall into ruins."

Andrew slammed his staff down, forming a Crimson aura around his body.

"With the power entrusted to me by Vrona I pry you give me strength to see this battle to the very end."

Andrew peers down at the Demon with cold eyes, offering a Crimson gaze. The friendly male seemed to take more serious approach when it comes to Demons attacking these lands now.

"Before the horde was lucky, but now any Demon that steps on these lands will have to answer to me and I hope you're prepared to answer for your sins.

Vrona gives me the power to cleanse you from this holy land and I'll remove your foul magic from these people you've infected. Prepare yourself for now I will unleash my fury upon you."
(Andrew Mercia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[09:18] Her eyes, all of them gazed upon the burst of an intense amount of an unknown cosmic aura to her, one that she had never seen with complete interest, the colors of crimson that matches those of wrath and bloods, oh how beautiful it is.

And yet. "Andrew Mercia, your goals are noble indeed and I respect the amount of power you've possessed even as a mere human, Hel... I'd applause you if we weren't enemies by now." The Demon said as a reply - completely showing a little respect.

"Show me the true power that runs within you, unveil it, empower it, scream for it, I would love to clash against more than one of those whom had acquired great achievements." True, the other one was the patient blade's user which makes it two.

The demonic features within Achyra's body begun to slowly emerge out from her human form - Not entirely yet, imagine it as if she's filled with furs of her spider legs around her limbs at the moment.

"I would love to see how well you can go against me, the failure of many of my own kindred." And eventually, Achyra will become apart of the strong demons through experience such as this.

The climax of the scene that is about to occur, the result that will determine how the ending of this episode will unfold, the amount of experience and power that can grow within her own body.

How progressive. "We shall dance til' night ends." A little dramatic way of her announcement to finish the final combat, at last.

[09:20] Andrew Mercia says, "Spoken like a true warrior."
[09:59] Andrew felt rather sluggish, but he could only assume it's the affect of the occult magic. Each time he faced a Demon it proves they are far stronger than they seem. He felt this battle should have be easy, but it wasn't thus it came down to the wire.

He managed to land a few more spells if not one more than the Demon did to him. He knew they had different forms and yet he struggled with this one or perhaps lack of rest affected the male.

He wasn't sure, but he focused the power of Vrona into a beam that sparkled Crimson. He aimed to injury the Demon; however, due to them both being in a weakened state he missed his shot.

Andrew felt like him missing proves his failure to show the Demons that man-kind could evolve with them, but was that true? How far could the young man push himself to evolve like the Demons?

Was his faith that stronger? Did he have enough light to overtake the darkness that plagued the lands? He didn't have answers to these question.

His Crimson gaze fell on the spider-like demon while he paints, his breath could be seen though the cold night. he winded himself during this fight, but the Church was safe for now at least.

The young man who'd soon become a Priest and help rebuild, but a good defense is jsut as good as a powerful offense. The young man slammed his staff on the ground while standing a few feet away from the Demon.

He felt many things at the moment, but he understood one thing clearly he needed to evolve into something new. Like an animal going existent or learning to survive a harsh living environment.

Andrew needed to find a way to better match the Demons power to ensure the Church remains safe for as long as he lives and protects it.

He slammed his staff down on the ground again while looking at the Demon.

"Despite me winning the fight I've learned a few things from fighting you Demons. One of the biggest things is you take human form, but for what reason? You want to be like us, walk like us, and talk like us.

Then when you need more power you turn ugly just like we came and that's human nature.

I'm starting to see that you might be more human than I thought or maybe it's like looking in a mirror at the human race.

You push us to far then we can show our inner demons and that alone can make us powerful, but you take that meaning to another level.

Some people sneak behind your back and slider like a snake and others try to use their power to take from you like a brute demon.

Even some humans go as far and take something from you and I'd say they can be sticky like a spider."

Andrew continue to tap his staff on the ground with a smile appearing on his face.

"However, you have shown me that even though we have haves demons inside of us. We can evolve and grow and tap into that power it all depends on how we use it.

I'm selfish because I want to protect everyone around me and I'm greedy for wanting to restore the Church.

These could be consider Demons in a way, but I'll allow them to push my body to new highest and just like a Demon I can evolve into something new.

The moment I break this shell and the limits that are set on my boy then I'll fight you all on even ground. I'll show you just how strong a human can be when pushed to the very edge.

I'll evolve and rid the demon-kind from these holy ground and wherever they hid.

Just like the stars above are felt with vase knowledge I'll uncover them and use my Faith in Vrona and the knowledge to defeat you all."

Andrew smiled while panting still.

"When I evolve it will be a sight for all to see..."

[10:24] The force of the cosmic, energized by the star unknown to the Demon unexperienced against it, the sight of the aura itself was far more dangerous compared to the others' - This one might've dug a hole with the size of the sewer's entrance through Achyra's body if it hadn't miss.

Knowing the strength of the man known as Andrew, it was to no avail - Achyra was no match for him at the current state and it was either a curse or a blessing for him to miss the shot entirely, amidst this; she must admit her defeat as a warrior.

The threat that harmed the two weaker partners of Andrew - The one that have harmed their souls even if they are mild, Andrew would've become one of them but this time? The red cosmic user wins the round even after countless of magical exchanges both darkness and light from the stars.

"Andrew Mercia, remember my name well." A pause was given before her throat was cleared. "Remember Achyra, for I will return when we are both far better than now." And perhaps, when she is ripe for another chapter, the other side might've developed quite... A ton.

Even so, Achyra had gotten very close into taking down Andrew to pile him up with the rest, only a little more time.

A little more.

"I shall take my retreat."

The announcement of her departure was made before eventually leaving.
(Achyra)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:27] Andrew took another deep breath it seems the battle was won and the Church was protected. He learned a lesson and marked down another demon in his books to take down when the time came.

"Remember well, Achyra. You my fair better, but I'll learn to push pass my limits. For next time we face each other I don't expect anything less than a blood bath and I'll cleanse you with my magic.

The power of Vrona is unmatched, but for now you live another day."

He said as the spider-like human finally fled the area.
