The Power of The Devil

"How troublesome, it seems that his power has drastically increased. For the first time, I feel his bloodlust leaking out. He really intends to kill me. Even so, it's not like he'll actually be able to do that. He's much weaker than me, I should just end this now," said the principal as he prepared to unleash a spell that would be so strong that it would completely erase Arthur from existence.

"Tier 10 Spell: Dimensional Ruler"

The principal stopped holding back as he planned to unleash one of his most powerful if not the most powerful spell in his arsenal.

"I've been waiting to use this on you for a very long time. Now die!" the principal yelled as the spell took into effect as it forced time itself to stop for everyone except himself as he began to walk towards Arthur slowly as he wanted to savour the moment that he could kill the one person he hated so much.

"All I need is to touch him once and he'll be erased from existence. Oh how I've longed for this. It's finally time to get rid of this insect that's been living off of me for free all these years. I hate you so much Arthur, I'm so happy I get to kill you now," said the principal as he brought his palm directly to Arthur's face and placed all of his fingers on his demonic face as they wrapped around his head and the spell was complete. Or at least that's what should have happened.

"What's wrong? Why isn't it working?! He should be dead right now! Why won't it activate?!" the principal began to yell in anger as he had tried to erase Arthur from existence however it had not worked for some reason. The last thing he wanted was to look at Arthur for even another second. At the same time, Arthur began to laugh so loud that the spell was undone and everyone could hear him. However it was not a laugh of joy, it was a laugh of pure evil. He laughed because he knew just how much he would humiliate the principal.

"What's so funny? You think you'll be able to defeat me just because you nullified one of my spells? If that's what you believe, you've got another thing coming," said the principal to which the demon simply took a deep breath in before letting out an evil grin.

"Tier 1 Spell: Fire"

"Huh? What's a tier 1 spell supposed to do against me? Do you really believe that you could kill me with such a weak spell? Have you lost your mind or something? You can't even kill a child let alone someone as powerful as myself with a spell as weak as that," said the principal to which Arthur's possessed body began to laugh even louder as the fire began to surround the entire school.

At first it was just a little warm however as the seconds went by, it was becoming an unbearable heat wave that was cooking everyone alive. The students of the school begged Arthur to stop, to which he simply laughed louder. However this was not the laughter of the demon but the real Arthur instead.

"None of you stopped beating me to a pulp when I asked so why should I stop? This is my revenge!" Arthur thought to himself which caused the demon and Arthur to merge for a mere moment which caused an influx in power as Arthur's body was no longer resisting the demon's will.

Instantly, the fire surrounded not only the school but the entire city as it caused glass to shatter, trees to burn and much more. Even though this had taken place for less than a minute, the damage that the fire had caused was immeasurable.

"My face! What did you do to my face?!" the principal began to yell in agony as his face was burned due to him being closest to the source of the flame.

"That's enough, go back now," said Arthur in a calm voice to the demon that was controlling his body.

"No! You don't have a say in this!" the demon yelled back to which the real Arthur simply let out a sigh.

"Switch!" Arthur yelled which instantly caused the demon to get retracted back into the sidelines as Arthur began to take control of the body. As for the demonic extra skin, he retracted back into nothingness.

As for the flames, Arthur simply snapped his fingers and caused all the flames to disappear.

"What's this? Are you starting to feel bad or something? I don't need sympathy from the likes of you-" the principal began to speak before Arthur kicked him using his knee on the chest which caused the principal to cough up blood.

"No, not at all. I have no sympathy for you. I just believe that hand to hand combat will cause a more painful death," said Arthur to which the principal began to laugh louder than ever.

"Death? I see. It seems that I've forgotten about this. You see, the council of sorcery wasn't always as calm as they are now. In fact, the ones that lead it now are an entirely new group than the ones who used to lead it. These new ones are a bunch of softies. The real council of sorcery made sure to have a back up plan for everything. One of those being to create something to defeat an enemy. Well, technically it was only if the enemy was stronger than one of their elite servants. They cast a spell on the back of each of the most elite subordinates. Once they died, the spell would activate and unleash a devastating bomb capable of wiping out an entire country. And you see, I actually happen to be one of those subordinates who has the spell cast on them," said the principal before taking off his shirt to reveal a red magic circle on his back.

Without any more words to be said, he plunged his hand through his heart and brought an end to his life.
