"Vengeance? Don't tell me that's you in the mural. If my ancestor killed you back then, how are you still alive?" Feeling the devil's hatred for her ancestor, Anna thought that the devil in the mural and the devil in front of her were one and the same.
"Hahaha, unlike you humans, we devils are immortals. We don't die, and you can't kill us." The devil bragged. A lie in order to psychology dominate his opponent. Who would not be depressed to fight an immortal enemy?
"Yeah, right. There must be some trick to it." Anna was no two-year-old. Growing up in a family filled with demigods, she knew better than anyone that true immortality doesn't exist.
…
'WTF! Does she know nothing about the devils? What happened to the Devil slaying manual that I left behind? It had everything you needed to know to slay the devils and survive in the dark realms.' An ancient thought yelled, seeing how Anna was clueless about devils and dark realms.
'What Devil slaying manual? Did our family have such a book?' A younger thought asked in doubt as it didn't remember a book named Devil Slaying manual in their family heirlooms.
'The book I made using the devil skin and wrote in devil blood? Do you guys know how much time I spent making that book to pass on my knowledge to the future generation? Don't tell me you fools lost that too.' The ancient thought grew impatient, knowing that his life work was not handed down to the future generations as he expected it would.
'Father, you sure you wrote such a book because I never found one. There was no mention of it in your will nor your diary.' A thought claiming to be the son of the ancient thought from earlier revealed that it did not find the Devil slaying book.
'What are you saying? I clearly remember giving it to you…. Wait a second. I remember it now. I seemed to have lost it in a gamble. So I rewrote it on a piece of paper and misplaced it. Sorry, my bad.' The ancient thought realized that he had lost the devil-slaying book he had written using devil's blood and on devil skin leather paper in a gamble.
'...' A moment of awkward silence prevailed as the other thoughts glared at the ancient thought. As the wild thought said, each one of them is a prodigal. Some more than others.
'Don't look at me like that. At least I thought of passing the knowledge while none of you did.' The ancient thought defended itself, saying it was more thoughtful than others.
…
"Trick? You, humans, need something like that. We devils don't. Anyway, there is no point in arguing with you. Let's begin the battle, shall we." The devil finally showed its intention to fight Anna.
"When did devils become polite enough to greet their opponent before a battle? I thought your kind preferred sneak attack. No matter how strong one is and what the situation is. After all, your kind thrives on chaos." Anna prepared for a sneak attack from the devil. But to her dismay, it did not come. This is surprising, considering her opponent is the devil.
"Your opinion of devils seems to be biased. I guess it comes from the folklore your kind sings about our kind. Don't you know not to take the story seriously? What do humans know about the devil's dilemma?" Saying that, the devil flicked its finger aiming at Anna, 'lava sweat flick.'
Anna never let her guard down in the presence of a high-ranking devil. So when the devil used its lava sweat as a bullet and flicked it at Anna, she countered it with her Giga punch, 'One million tonnes Giga punch.'
*Boom* Anna's punch easily warded off the devil's lava sweat bullet.
"Sorry, my bad, just an unhealthy habit I developed. I tend to attack when people appear vulnerable to me. Old habits die hard, I guess." The devil apologized, referring to its sneak attack as a force of habitat.
"I expect nothing less from you since you fired the first shot. Don't blame me for continuing." Saying that, Anna pounced on the devil, yelling, "10 million tonne Giga punch, barrage!"
…
'Ancestor, does the girl have any chance of winning against the devil?' A thought which yelled earlier to warn Anna asked the wild thought for his opinion on the battle.
'You tell me. Nearly half of the devil's strength is being suppressed by the world's will. Not to forget, he was forced to awaken by Anna, which means he woke up before gaining his peak strength. Not to mention, the girl's field card suppresses the devil's innate ability. Considering all these disadvantages he is penalized with, the devil's strength is nowhere near its peak strength.
And we already saw Anna's last move, the 100 million tonne punch which she used to subdue Feastus's slumber form. If that's her limit, then her chances of winning against Feastus is less than half.
For her sake, let's hope that she has a few more tricks up her sleeves.' The wild thought patiently explained the chance of Anna winning against the devil.
'Considering the wealth each of us left behind for our descendants, she should have been given more tricks by her family.' An elderly thought expressed.
'Let's hope so. Otherwise, this arena will be her burial grounds.' A thought spoke its concern.
…
"Girl, is this all you got? It seems that you defeating my first form was pure luck." Facing the barrage of Anna's Ten million tonne punch, the devil nonchalantly taunted Anna.
"Fuck you!
Booster dice!
Hepta-Booster!
Seventy million tonne Giga punch barrage."
Anna once again made use of the Booster dice card, and this time, it rolled a 2 and 5, giving Anna a total of 7 times boost in her strength. Increasing the weight behind her punch to 70 million tonnes.
