Fenix, the Reaper of Extinction!

"My Name is Fenix, the Reaper of Extinction!" Fenix's words echoed around the eerie arena.

Damon's brows furrowed as he heard Fenix's declaration. He had not heard much about Fenix. All Damon had known about this man from the various written stories was that Fenix was a psychopathic madman who had spent decades ruthlessly slaughtering people for fun. Aside from that information, Damon didn't know anything about Fenix.

Damon extended his Mana and Aether senses, but was unable to find Fenix anywhere. It seemed that Fenix simply did not exist, but Damon was absolutely sure this was just a trick, and was determined to expose Fenix.

Damon slowly began moving forward, his steps slow and methodical. BloodReaper was tightly held in Scythe form, as Damon was prepared to clash whenever he was attacked.

~SHING~

The ferocious slash of a deadly dagger attack slashed across Damon's arm, leaving a deep gash at his shoulder that quickly began pouring blood.

"GAH!" Damon groaned out in pain, gripping BloodReaper tightly as his eyes grew blood red from pain and anger, annoyed that Fenix was battling him in this pathetic way. Damon's pain fueled his rage, and the very air surrounding him began shaking due to the wrathful aura Damon was releasing.

Damon tapped into the Power of Ashborn, using the Higher Dimensional Senses to react to any surprise attacks. His Aura being mixed with terrifying wrath and excinction level death as BloodReaper began reacting to Damon's anger and rising power, unleashing its own tyrannical aura.

~SHING~CLASH~

Fenix's deadly dagger attacks slashed across where Damon was standing. However, in the split second before the attack connected, Damon sensed it and slashed BloodReaper ruthlessly, clashing with the daggers and pushing Fenix backwards.

"Did you think I'd fall for the same trick twice?" Damon said, his voice laced with a terrifying amount of rage and focus.

"Blood Moon SoulReaper!" Damon said, deciding to go on the offense. His eyes turning blood red as a red beam shot out of them, piercing the tyrannical crimson red flames that basked the entire skies.

As the blood red beam pierced the sky, the sky suddenly changed. From a tyrannical sky filled with blood, the entire sky chained to a pitch black colour, with a blood moon hanging in the sky, unleashing a vague aura that sent the scent of dead and eternity to everyone who saw the Blood Moon.

Suddenly, the Blood Moon, along with the pitch black sky, cracked like glass, and turned into terrifying blood red sythes that flung down from the skies, fiercly attacking Fenix, even in his unsenseable, invisible state.

"BASTARD!" Fenix groaned out, his invisibility being nullified as he was revealed a couple steps away from Damon, blood leaking from his eyes due to the injury he suffered as he slowly began backing away from Damon in order to heal himself and access the situation.

[ WORLD ENDER ]

Damon roared and mana began chanelling and surrounding him, swirling around Damon like a tyrannical typhoon. Damon wasn't willing to give Fenix any time at all to heal himself.

A dark red aura began swirling around Damon as he had activated his spell [ World Ender ], unleashing his Demonic Form. Damon's body was covered in crimson red flames, a jet black tail covered in deadly spikes stretched out from his back. Damon's horns began glowing as on his back, two wings flashed out. The wings were large, and gold and red feathers were on the wings, reminiscent of Angel Feathers. Damon's eyes shifted closer to Dragon eyes as his breath ignited the air itself. Damon had completely unleashed his Demonic Form, boosting his power immensely.

"ARISE!" Damon said, a blanket of darkness extending from Damon's feet and covering the entire battle arena's floor. Out of that blanket of darkness, Damon's Shadow Soldiers rose up, ready to battle as the terrifying aura of death emitted from each of their bodies, lead by Varus, Kaldr and Rokn.

"FREYA, EZREAL!" Damon said, two gigantic World Spirit Gates appeared behind him that unleashed a torrent of Aether into the world. Out of those two World Spirit Gates, an elegant and beautiful Angel stepped out of one of them while a mysterious and ethereal Unicorn walked out of the other.

This was Freya and Ezreal respectively!

Due to Damon's Sin of Pride, all of his subordinates received a 100% increase in power, which made Damon's overall power in this battle even stronger.

"ATTACK!" Damon said ferociously, his legion of Shadow Soldiers alongside Freya and Ezreal flashing towards Fenix who was still recovering from his injuries.

"Vortex of Extinction!" Damon's angry voice echoed across the arena. This was a spell that Vayne had casted in the battle against him. However, Damon had dedicated some of his training time to mastering various spells and this was one of them.

A dark, deadly vortex made of Void Elemental Mana appeared in the sky and began sucking and devouring all of the mana in the surrounding area. Over time, the suction grew stronger and stronger, and Fenix could feel himself being yanked into the air, barely able to keep himself on the ground.

Damon had casted this spell to give Fenix barely any time to defend himself before his legions attacks.

"ROARRR!" The terrifying roar of Varus echoed across the arena, and Varus unleashed a torrent of deadly poison from his humungous jaw, completely enveloping the entire battle arena.

"Ack, what is this poison?" Fenix's confused voice groaned out.

"Void Slash!" Another spell was casted by Damon that was learned from Vayne, and dozens of pitch black Void Daggers appeared and slashed towards Fenix's location. With Damon putting all of his attention on stopping himself from flying into the <Vortex of Extinction>, the Void Slashes sliced across his body fiercly, targeting his legs and arms.

"DAMNN IT!" Fenix groaned out once more as he felt the Void Slashes hit his body, leaving more deadly wounds. Then, in an instant, the deadly poison from Varus flooded Fenix and entered his bloodstream, ruthlessly poisoning every part of his body and limiting his power greatly.

Fenix ran to the left, trying to escape, but Damon had caught onto his plans. Damon had quickly realized that Fenix lacked the hard battle power to contest with him, and relied entirely on his tricks and illusion magic to defeat Damon and his many other opponents. Thus, Damon simply aggressively attacked Fenix using Overwhelming Strength.

Damon transformed BloodReaper into a Elemental Bow, gripping it tightly and channelling his mana, creating an arrow and shooting it up into the sky. As it flew higher and higher, Damon's arrow split into dozens of different elemental arrows that flashed to the floor.

Fenix managed to barely dodge some of the arrows, but was immediately pierced by many others, leaving his rendered unable to move.

"Ρήξη διαστάσεων!!" Damon casted, and all of the mana in the surrounding area funneled towards Damon, forming a deadly arrow that had a tyrannical aura. Damon pulled back the quiver to prepare and once he was ready, the string of the bow was released. A ferocious rainbow coloured arrow tore through the sky in an instant, spacial tracks left in it's wake due to its ferocious power. Everything in the arrow's path was annihilated, and a massive rupture was created in the Domain.

The terrifying arrow crashed into Fenix, completely obliderating his left arm and leaving a massive gaping wound that poured out blood like a river. Fenix's leg bones were also shattered under the pressure, leaving him completely unable to move.

"Illusionary Shatter!" Damon said, casting his strongest spell in his arsenal. Space was destroyed, dimensions collapsed and illusions turned to reality, the infinite to finite as chaos and order switched for a split second. Then, ~SHATTER~. Fenix's daggers shattered, along with his last hope to win the battle.

Fenix lay on the ground, battered and bruised, missing many parts of his body and barely breathing. Damon walked slowly with BloodReaper in hand, ready to kill Fenix, execution style!

Damon walked up to Fenix, who had already resigned to his loss, and Damon ferociously slashed BloodReaper.

~SHING~THUD~

With a slash, Fenix's head was disconnected from the rest of his body and fell to the ground, as he lay dead, Damon standing above him victorious.

Damon had cleared the First Battle Of The Gauntlet!
