----------
Crimson light flowed over the ruins of the temple, and the boundless darkness seemed endless.
In an instant, as the two forces collided, the center of Galuna Island shattered like a mirror, and the spreading shockwave pulverized the surrounding trees and rock formations.
In mid-air, a crown of thorns made of blood glowed crimson, and purplish-black energy moved around the demon like a living entity.
The recoil from that magical clash earlier left her feeling unwell, but the eerie smile on her face remained undiminished. After all, it was Mira's body that was injured—what did it have to do with her, Satan Soul?
That human named Noah's body was much stronger than this current vessel, but unfortunately, she was already bound to this human named Mira. Otherwise...
As the demon's thoughts briefly wandered, a surge of molten lava erupted from the collapsing ground.
A figure engulfed in flames shot into the sky. With a grim expression, Noah appeared before the demon in the blink of an eye, his Devil Slayer Magic forming a sharp blade of light that he swung at the demon.
Dark sparks burst from the demon's fingertips. The flame blade and the demon's claw met, producing a clang like metal striking metal.
"Oh my, such a heavy hand. You really don't know how to cherish a woman."
Noah looked at "Mira," who was smiling with her eyes, but the voice emanating from her was another alluring female voice that could melt one's bones.
If Mira spoke to him in such a seductive tone, Noah felt he definitely wouldn't be able to resist.
But this was the Satan Soul forcibly possessing her. Who knew what Satan's original appearance was like? What if it was an incredibly ugly monster speaking in a delicate voice... Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps!
"Get out of Mira's body right now!"
Abandoning the flame blade in his hand, Noah's five fingers gripped the demon's blocking arm tightly, and he swung his right leg—enveloped in a Devil Slayer gale—in a side kick.
The demon tilted her head and chuckled. Dozens of bone spikes suddenly erupted from her demonic bat wings, each one pale and hideous.
However, Noah had only feigned the attack to bait her.
Before the bone spikes erupted, the demon felt another burst of Magic Power suddenly explode in front of her. The fiery storm instantly transformed into a deep blue current, which quickly converged on Noah's swinging right fist.
As his punch shot out, the immense Devil Slayer Magic Power condensed into the terrifying phantom of a colossal shark, opening its abyss-like maw toward the demon.
A direct, pure power strike—yet it was a formidable technique combining visual impact with destructive force.
This move was called... Whale Slayer Domination Fist!
Having taken the full force of the blow, blood dripped from the demon's lips, forming blood-red roses as it fell through the air.
A silver tear traced down her darkness-corroded right eye. In the depths of Mira's pupils, now occupied by darkness, specks of silver light flickered—her consciousness gradually returning.
"No... Noah..."
Hearing the familiar yet incredibly weak voice, Noah quickly pulled Mira into his arms. "I'm here. Don't worry, it's all over."
Looking at Noah, who was full of concern and completely defenseless, coldness appeared on "Mira's" face. "Of course it's all over—because you're the one in trouble."
The demon state, which had been gradually dispelling, instantly returned to normal, and her sharp five fingers plunged straight toward Noah's chest.
His heartfelt words ultimately went unfulfilled.
A hand firmly grasped the demon's wrist. Looking at Noah's face, the concern from earlier was gone. Under Malice Perception, even the best-hidden killing intent was as bright as a firefly in the night.
And Satan, who had feigned Mira's awakening to get close, was full of vulnerabilities the moment Noah saw through her little trick!
Noah wrapped his arms tightly around the demon's waist. The surprise attack combined with his immense strength squeezed the demon, making her unable to exert herself. The pressure on her spine caused her immense pain.
If he had to give this move a name, it would be "Hug-and-Slay."
As Noah thought this, he was also constantly monitoring the demon's condition. Hug-and-Slay was pure physical combat—a slight misstep could break her spine.
He couldn't paralyze Mira just to help her escape her berserk state.
However, reality told Noah that his idea of squeezing the demon unconscious was far too naive and ridiculous.
This was a world of magic. When strength reached a certain level, the effect of pure physical combat diminished significantly.
Immense Magic Power erupted from the demon's body. The surging, violent force compelled Noah to release his grip, pushing him back more than ten meters.
The demon hunched over, gasping for breath, one hand continuously rubbing her aching, slender waist. As she looked up at Noah, her sullen face regained its smile.
"I underestimated you."
"But is it really okay to use such a cruel move against me? The owner of this body has secretly liked you all along."
"In human terms, I believe it's called a crush, isn't it?"
At these words, Noah's heart jolted.
Recalling every little detail since he met Mira, he finally understood why Mira always sought him out, cooking and showing concern—it wasn't just to repay his life-saving grace.
She also desired his body!
This damn charm—truly worthy of me!
The demon's figure was reflected in Noah's eyes. "If that's the case, then I absolutely cannot let you possess Mira's body."
Blue-white electrical light flickered, and an inexhaustible high-voltage current surged outward from his body. The concentrated burst of electricity caused the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.
Power not belonging to this world's system erupted. At this moment, Noah's aura surged! It surged! It surged intensely!
Wilder than Dragon Slayer, fiercer than Devil Slayer.
Ten volts... a thousand volts... ten thousand volts... a hundred thousand volts... The continuously escalating electrical energy finally made the demon, who had maintained a frivolous attitude since her appearance, drop her eerie smile.
Although she had only recovered less than a tenth of her power that had been sealed beneath the Moon Temple, Satan was confident that with this power combined with Mira's body, the only thing in this world that could threaten her was that mad dragon.
However, the power erupting from Noah now made her, a Demon King, feel threatened. That unknown power, far from reaching its limit, definitely didn't belong to this world's power system.
Damn the Earth Land World Will! Since it intercepted both Gods and Demons outside the world, why did it let this dangerous thing in?
Could it be that detestable Celestial Spirit King causing trouble again?
With a myriad of thoughts, the demon had no choice but to stop these unnecessary musings, because Noah's attack was already upon her, and she had to react.
React? Too slow!
A distance of over ten meters—not even 0.001 seconds. Noah practically teleported in front of the demon.
A tangible, powerful aura assailed her from all directions, constantly squeezing the demon's body, making it difficult for her to move. The feeling was like falling into a meat grinder, being mercilessly and cruelly torn apart.
Noah's right arm muscles bulged. Ten strands of electricity, each over two hundred thousand volts, wrapped around his skin. "Consider yourself lucky. You are the first to experience this power."
"Remember this—this is Current Drive!"
