Half Demon of Curses

Diafthora slides back as he exhales steam.

"I might have an idea..." A Maho circle appears under Diafthora as he jumps forward again.

"Magic circle creation...! Anti curse!" Iblis exhales steam. Diafthora clenches his fist and swings it back. Iblis easily blocks it with flames. The flames evaporating on contact with Diafthora's fist. Iblis sliding back in an explosion of smoke. Diafthora grabs his sword again.

"Mithral!" He violently swings it slicing the smoke cloud completely in half. Iblis stands there engulfed in flames. His entire right arm gone as it instantly regenerates. Along with the injury across his chest.

"You Idiot! Thinking a measly attack like that can kill me!?" The ground starts violently shaking as Diafthora almost falls. Sweat flowing from his forehead.

"...I think I get it now..." The ground starts crumbling under his feet as pillars of flame erupt from the ground. Storm clouds forming above. Iblis' muscles bulging as flames pour from every pore. Iblis smiles maniacally as he jumps forward with flames. Diafthora turns his head.

"Fast-" Flames erupt across the sky as he screams. Kiyoko's eyes widen as he runs faster.

Smoke explodes as steam rises from Diafthora's burnt body. He struggles to stay standing. Thunder booming around Iblis who smiles maniacally. Diafthora coughs up blood as his left arms curse spreads across his chest. His breathing is heavy as his heart beats irregularly. He struggles to push himself standing. Kiyoko standing on top of some ruins nearby. Diafthora's sword evaporating. Kiyoko in shock as Diafthora wipes blood off his mouth.

"I... Could use some help here... Kiyoko..." Kiyoko's eyes widen. He quickly reaches down and instantaneously appearing beside Diafthora with his sword drawn.

"...yes Sir!" Diafthora coughs again as he struggles to conjure his sword again.

"Go for... His joints... Slash him as much as you can before he can regenerate!" Kiyoko nods as his eyes momentarily go blank. He clenches his teeth as a gold aura radiates from his back.

"Let's go" Kiyoko and Diafthora jump forward. Diafthora goes to punch Iblis but gets blocked. Kiyoko flying in from behind. He swings his sword slicing through the Demon's arm. Iblis swings his other hand as the other regenerates. He hits Kiyoko directly slamming him into the ground. Kiyoko's eyes go blank as Diafthora grits his teeth. Diafthora swings his blade slicing off both of Iblis' arms before landing on the ground. Flames raging around them.

"Young Kiyoko!" Diafthora rushes standing as he stumbles. He coughs up more blood as his heart races. His head aching really bad. His eyes get a bit fuzzy as Iblis walks towards Diafthora. Diafthora tries to attack but gets forced to the ground by Iblis.

"Didn't I warn you... No demon of your strength can defeat ME" Iblis grabs Diafthora by the head. Diafthora already prepared to die. Iblis Starts crushing his head. Suddenly Diafthora hits the ground along with Iblis' arm. Iblis' eyes widen as he turns. Diafthora looks over as blood drips off Kiyoko's chin. He turns around as a his purple eyes have a gold ring around them.

_it is rumor amongst the civilians... That even if someone was born with multiple types of Maho... They can only use one at a time_

Diafthora falls back as a gold aura radiates off of Kiyoko.

"There's no way... It's... Actually possible...?" Iblis stumbles back in shock. His detached arm slowly freezing in ice. Kiyoko surrounded by cold air and a menacing aura.

_but in the presence of someone this strong, Kiyoko knew it was due or die_

Diafthora thinks to himself "in a split second... No, it's impossible to move that fast... That kid... Used time Maho to create an opening to save me... And... Froze his arm so he can't regenerate cause ice is fire's weakness!"

_in desperation to survive the war... He awakened his latent ability to use two types of Maho simultaneously... Effectively saving Diafthora_

Kiyoko takes a deep breath as he looks at Iblis.

"You brat!" Iblis engulfs his fist in flames. Swinging straight at Kiyoko. Kiyoko appears behind Iblis as his other arm falls off. Iblis breaks the ice and regenerating both arms. Iblis screams and runs straight at Kiyoko. In a split second Kiyoko floats above Iblis. Surprising the other two.

"Now it's my turn" Kiyoko swings his blade. In one slice effectively decapitating the Demon. The large body of the demon disintegrating to reveal the body of the Military Colonel. Kiyoko lands on the ground as the gold aura evaporates. He then rushes over to Diafthora who collapses to the ground.

"Mr. Diafthora!" Diafthora slowly starts bleeding out as his curse on his left arm stretches across his heart. He coughs as his pulse slows down.

"You did amazing out there... Kiyoko... I'm glad... I was here to witness this... Live on... For me... Kiyoko Oritsu" Diafthora coughs up blood as his eyes loose their color. Kiyoko jumps a bit and checks his pulse. There was no pulse as tears pour down Kiyoko's face. The air was cold but smelled like barbeque. Smoke rising from the now collapsing Capital building. The Monarch sitting off to the side in disbelief.

"T-those guys... Were monsters... If we went to war with RoeKanaoWorth... It wouldn't even last a day!" The sun slowly setting off in the distance.
