Damon looked into the monster's eyes. It stared back. Its human-like face peering into his soul.
He extended out his ice sword, reaching past his shoulder and readying himself into a fighting stance.
Slither...
The monster started to slither into a circle. Its long winding tail wrapping around Damon. Damon watched for any weak spots. He watched as the long tail wiggled, back and forth. He watched as the head bobbed, staring, deep, with the eyes of a woman, cold and brooding.
"Screeeeaaaach!"
The monster opened up its mouth and lunged for an attack. Its heavy fangs pointing out at Damon. But Damon didn't flinch. He just jumped, his legs pushing off the monster's jaw.
He swung himself across the air, his flames cooking across the black hair of the monster.
Crunch!
The monster bit right into his leg.
Slice!
But at the same moment, Damon sliced right through the monster's face, freezing its head with the Perfect Ice.
Damon fell back into the circle of tails.
And now the monster was furious. Its hair on fire and its face frozen shut. So with no way to fight anymore it started recoiling in pain and anger.
It wiggling back and forth, hitting its tail randomly across the air.
Wack!
Slam!
Thump!
Wack!
Thump!
Slam!
Damon tried his best to dodge, but the monster's strength and raging speed was too fast for him to keep up, so he ended up getting hit.
The tail sent him flying against the cold ice, his arms broken, his head smashed in. His ice sword tossed into the open air. He was then launched across the open arctic floor, sliding across the snow.
Crack...
He looked down at his legs. At the bite marks from the monster.
It wasn't healing.
"It's not healing?!"
Instead of healing, the wound had turned to stone, and infected his inner skin, making it so instead of dying, he would instead become forever immobilized like a statue.
"Shit!"
He pulled out his Eternal Flame coated hand and slapped it across his naked body.
Fwooosh!
He then let the flames burn him away into cinder, stopping the stone from fully corroding his body.

Jango watched the fight from a distance. He then pulled out a device and started recording his voice.
"That sword... It has the power to use the Perfect Ice. And those flames... This man may be strong enough to take out Miss Eiko. He may be strong enough to take out all of the Immortal Horses... I should end him now-"
Step-step-step...
Ice Spell: [Icicle]
Jango turned around as a pillar of ice shot out from the ground.
Slunk!
It pierced right through his shoulder.
"You..."
"You... You just killed my sister! Your gonna deserve everything that's going to come to you!"
Jango pointed his finger at Olezka.
He sacrificed his appendix.
A cloud formed.
Summoning Spell: [Aqrabuamelu]
"I don't think you will!"
Snap!
Olezka snapped his fingers, sacrificing his pinky.
Ice Spell: [Freeze Burst]
Shingggg... Creak... Crack...
The ice-piercing Jango's shoulder started to freeze over, it started to freeze into his skin, into his body.
"Shit-shit-shit-shit!"
Jango couldn't do anything. His body was instantly stuck and half his face was gone to frostbite. He couldn't even see anymore, he couldn't move anymore. In only twenty seconds he had lost his eyesight and all the movent in his ligaments.
"Shit-shit-shit! Shiiiit! I'm not going to die like this!"
He was determined. Determined to fight for the betterment of the world. As a soldier for the Immortal Horses. As the seventh-best in the organization. He couldn't just let his reputation end there. Against a simple Ice Witch, against a simple Immortal. No way. He couldn't let this fight end there. He couldn't just let his death end like that. He was the only Demon Summoner alive. The only one able to summon a demon. The only one in the world. He couldn't let his ancestors down. He couldn't let his family down. He couldn't let himself down.
"I am a Demon Summoner!"
He sacrificed his heart!
A massive cloud appeared in the sky.
Summoning Spell: [Asmodeus]
He summoned the great demon prince Asmodeus, then he died, his lifeless body going limp in the cold.
Meanwhile high up, a being emerged from the cloud.
"Hmmm... The heart of Jango... Oh, how we have been yearning for this day. Good riddance."
He floated down to earth. His arms and legs long and lanky, black and dark. His face red and bleeding, with long spiraling horns sticking out from his head. He looked at Olezka.
"A human...? Snow...?" Asmodeus looked at Damon, at the dead monster he had just defeated, "what is that? A snake?"
Asmodeus touched the snowy ground.
"Is that a demon?" questioned Olezka in shock.
He turned around with pride, "I am not just any demon. I am a prince. A general of Satan, but... Yes, you are right human, what is a Demon doing on earth?"
Damon stood up. He walked over to his ice sword, picking it up from the ice-covered snow. Asmodeus bowed down to Olezka.
"Human, I must thank you. This man here has been quite a hindrance to us demons. He summons us to make us do his bidding. It is quite annoying. It is a good thing we wiped out his kind. He was just the last one alive, so again, I commend you for killing him..."
Suddenly he turned around to see Damon. To see him approach with his flaming body and freezing ice.
"Anyway, like I said. He makes us demons do his bidding so I guess I'm going to have to kill you two now."
Olezka slowly backed away, while clutching his bleeding pinky.
"Damon can you take this demon on?" he asked in a raised voice.
Damon stood behind the demon, with a smirk, "don't worry. I won't die."
"Won't die? Are you one of those Immortals, human?" asked Asmodeus.
"I am."
The two stared at each other as Olezka ran back to Lada's dead body.
Asmodeus looked at the Eternal Flame, at the perfect ice, "I see you carry the Eternal Flame and the... That sword...? Where did you get that sword?"
Damon held out the ice sword. Its light-blue blade, with cold air flaking off of it.
"I found it. And I will use it to kill you."
"Oh, will you?"
Damon stepped up to Asmodeus. He held out his Eternal Flaming hand.
"Those flames must trouble you much. Unable to wither away, unable to burn. It must trouble you with the pain. So here, human, I will help with that."
Asmodeus opened up his ginormous mouth and puffed up his lungs. He took in a deep breath and blew out a single beam of Eternal Flames.
Demon Spell: [Eternal Flame]
It coated across the ice lake. The snowfields. Damon was launched back. His body burning hotter and hotter. But the ice sword chilled it off in an instant.
"Uhhhggg. That sword is a nuisance."
Snap!
Demon Spell: [Exploding Monolith]
Damon's body exploded into a million pieces. His ice sword went flying across the snow.
But he came back to life.
"Hmmm... You are quite a strong Immortal."
Snap!
Demon Spell: [Exploding Monolith]
Damon exploded again, but he came back in an instant.
Snap!
Demon Spell: [Exploding Monolith]
He died again.
Snap!
Demon Spell: [Melting Golyoth]
He melted.
Snap!
Demon Spell: [Devils Hammer]
He was crushed.
Snap!
Demon Spell: [Julius's Knife]
He was cut up.
Snap!
Demon Spell: [Exploding Monolith]
He died.
Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again.
But he would always come back. Always take another step closer.
And Asmodus... Well, he kept fighting. He couldn't just leave like he wanted to. He was stuck via the involuntary contract he was forced to sign. So it was a never-ending battle. Damon would die, and he would come back. And Asmodus would have to fight and kill, but Damon would come back.
---
Twenty days later.
Damon stood in the Antarctic. His naked body frozen. His naked body burning. His ice sword in his left hand. His blue flames in the other. He stood over the dead Asmodeus. His body chopped up, frozen, and smashed to bits.
"So even demons can die... But why can't I?"
