The castle has been infiltrated by Nyan and Diara... However, their search for Isabella was only short as they learn that she has long been escorted elsewhere outside of their reach...
Diara: Damn it! I even had her under my control until that boy showed up!
Nyan: Who is that?
Diara: I don't know, long dark brown hair, green eyes wears long pants and some sort of coat along with some weirdly designed shoes.
Nyan was thinking... However, this apperance reminds him of the one who sealed him a 1000 years ago, wrongfully sealed and wrongfully accused, atleast that is his opinion on the situation.
Nyan: Where could he be?
Diara: Well, he could be nearby.
Nyan looked around, a little pissed.
Nyan: So this guy was able to go toe to toe with a 10000 power level boosted and controlled Isabella, how?
Diara: He was kinda beating me too... Damn if only he was a demon, I would've loved to have him for my collection of servants~
Diara giggles.
Diara: Anyways, have you thought about using dad's controlling demon ability like I'm?
Nyan: No, not really. Especially since I need to devour a half-breed alive and that ability only makes it harder since they will regain control at an attempt to devour them.
Diara: Hmm, I did detect a half-breed with an interesting manifestation and a strange demon ability... I think you can detect them, pretend you are some demon that is in danger and then use the time to strike and then with that use something to blackmail them.
Nyan: Hmm, what about you?
Diara: I will go after that boy by myself, I doubt he will be able to resist my charm if I approach it differently, hehe.
Nyan sighs and both then split up, meanwhile with Elaina and Vlad as both arrived at the capital just only to see all corrupt demons being knocked down by UltraX.
Ultra notices them.
UltraX: Hey, there you are you two!
Elaina and Vlad run to Ultra.
Elaina: X, you are okay!
UltraX: No time to speak, so there is more happening you know.
Ultra explains the other information about the situationa nd thatn Diara cannot be sealed.
Vlad: Wait, why can't she be sealed exactly?
UltraX: You see the seal that was used to seal Diara is long lost through time and she may have to die in order for us to deal with her once and for all, from what I know she has a brother who is coming to Adumfor soon.
How did UltraX knew that or was he just bluffing... Vlad and Elaina did believe him with a bit grain of salt.
Elaina held her fist as she sensed a powerul cursed energy user nearby and quickly turns to the direction.
Elaina: VLAD, ULTRA ON GUARD!
Both Ultra & Vlad get on guard as they turned to the directrion Elaina was facing and then all 3 of them dodged a powerful blast and all were seperated with smoke from the spot of where the blast hit.
They look as a man walks out of it, the same one Elaina sensed...
The console (only for Ultra) appears infront of him with information.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultra sighs as he looked at Nyan feeling the sense that his power is supressed right now.
Elaina: Alright, so is this one of her pets, X?
UltraX: Not really...
Ultra closes his eyes for a moment before opening them looking at Nyan with a serious stare.
UltraX: That is her brother, possibly the strongest in the world as of now, even if only with half of the demon stone.
Vlad: Wait, but Isabella said the demon stone was still in that ancient labyrinth...
UltraX: Apparently not, which means if I'm correct. 1000 years ago, Nyan has taken the demon stone and perhaps since Diara mentioned a brother, they could be siblings. Which means, they share the demon stone.
Nyan smiles demonically...
???: Oh, so that is your name huh?
Then they turn around to see Diara floating in the air.
Diara: And you know so much about us, perhaps maybe we can talk at the end of the battle...
The two supposed powerful beings on earth have surrounded Vlad, UltraX & Elaina.
Vlad: So what is the plan, X?
UltraX: Well I only got one plan and that is for us to fight despite us being in a big disadvantage. Vlad, Elaina you take Nyan. I got unfinished business with Diara.
Vlad & Elaina turned to Nyan as Ultra turned to Diara.
Diara: Unfinished business? Oh right, I used Isabella Thorns as a puppet against you... You do not possess the power to defeat me, but keep dreaming~
Nyan: So, despite everything... I always get the leftovers while my sister gets the dinner? Ouch, that still hurts.
Vlad & Elaina rush Nyan and he runs away as he is followed by the couple, leaving Ultra & Diara alone.
Diara: So, where do we begin?
Ultra takes a fighting position.
Diara: Alright then, I'll teach you how to sit like a dog after this!
Diara gets fighting position and both of them run at each other, Ultra summons his scythe again and both then clashed and then back away and he sends a slash which she dodges with ease only to get hit with another slash sended by him and then he begins to barrage her with slashes and then she with one reaction stops the scythe with her right hand holding it tightly.
Ultra attempts to kick her, but she catches the leg and they are stuck in a position and both stare down at each other.
Diara: So what would you like to work in my and my brother's kingdom once we are done? A chef, a manager or be my personal servant?
UltraX: You for real?
Diara: Obviously, your power level is not high and you have some nice tricks up your sleeve~
Diara chuckles as she holds his leg tightly.
Diara: To be honest, perhaps maybe you are siding with the thorns cause you are just an outsider, you just do not want to see innocent people dying or perhaps more.
UltraX: Scythe ~ Quick Draw!
Ultra goes through Diara and she felt a hit thtat knocked her to him and he caught her and slammed her on the ground and then attempted to hit her with the sharp part of the scythe but she dodges and makes Ultra slip and then attempts to punch him, but he kicks her in the face and then throws her back with telekinesis as he quickly gets up and both look at each other for a bit and then he sighs as she was already infront of him and then he hits her with the tip of his scythe and then attempts to slash her only for Diara to dodge and kick him in the stomach hard and then she grabbed him and threw him in the air and then she quickly flies at him and barrages him for the next second at fast rapid speed, it did not last as long as Ultra expected, but then he used the opportunity and did a | slash in the middle and hit her from bottom to top which should've sliced her in half, but only did decent damage and then he blew her back with the wind and then.
UltraX: Wind Domain ~ Thousand cuts!
Suddenly Diara was being cut by the air around her from every side and direction and it was too fast for her even at first, though after a minute she started dodging some and then Ultra thought about it.
UltraX (Thinking to herself): She adapted that quickly, such potential wasted to do such horrible actions on the world.
Ultra intensefies the Wind Domain that he trapped Diara in and watches.
UltraX (Thinking to herself): She can endure a lot of damage especially since my scythe was not able to cut her in half, but hey it is my fault for using only 20% on the scythe slash instead of the usual attack.
The cuts continue through and through for another minute, she dodged more and more, but only some cutted on the next minute and then...
Diara: Grr... Domain breaker!
She sends out a ring that cancels the ability and then looks down on the ground at UltraX.
Diara: You...
Diara flies down at full speed and attempts to hit UltraX, only for him to dodge that and then he kicks her back a little and then he runs towards her and attempts to slash her for only to be dodged by her and then she kicked the scythe out of his hand and then grabbed him and headbutted him twice and then let go of him and kicks him further back as he crashes into a building.
Ultra gets up, despite being injured and jumps off the building landing on the ground as he notices Diara having his scythe.
UltraX: Huh-
Diara: Interesting, very interesting...
Diara seemed impressed with something from the human kind and very interested, she seems to also know how to use it since she is holding it correctly and then she runs towards him and then she slashes normally once she got close and Ultra dodges fast each slash, but there was no opening so he was forced to dodge more and more and more until Ultra vanishes and appears behind to smack her on her back and then she quickly turns around and catches his fist and then attempts to cut him with the scythe she took from him, only for it to deal no damage and then she suddenly felt the pain of that attempted cut on her shoulder and then she lets go of him as she also drops the scythe, he catches his scythe and then vanishes and appears further away from her.
Diara (Thinking to herself): Damn Janoco technique again... This... He is so young and yet has such mastery over it!
Diara breaths a little bit heavily, despite her demon regeneration healing that damage, it was slower then usual.
Diara (Thinking to herself): This technique seems improved, it is like the regeneration is not working properly as well, did he modify it?
UltraX: The reflect ability of my family sure can put even someone powerful as you to the test.
Ultra made his scythe vanish and then runs towards Diara and once near he attempts to land a jawbreaker move, but she dodges and then blocks 3 punches and then dodges a kick and parries another punch and then she tries to punch him, but he blocks and then both back away instead of clashing.
Ultra then looks at Diara and then looks around the area and then sighs as he runs towards her and Diara quickly runs towards him again, but this time she makes a weapon appear out of thin air and it looked like...
UltraX: Huh-
Ultra's console appears infront of him again.

New weapon detected...

SOUL SWORD:
The soul sword a powerful weapon that bypasses techniques like reflect and hit the soul, if used right it may instant kill an opponent and can send magical slashes that deal 4x damage if they land on a demon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultra quickly summons his scythe and both of their weapons clash against one another as both try to push instead of backing away.
Meanwhile around near the same place, Tatsumaki has just arrived in town as she finds Willow just finishing a corrupt Sila knocking her out.
Tatsumaki: Willow!
Willow: Hm-
Willow turns around in surprise to hear the sassy lost child.
Willow: Oh hey there.
Tatsumaki: Listen, where the hell is that dangerous demon?!
Willow: I... I don't know-
Willow then felt something and quickly grabbed Tatsumaki as both got out of the way and they looked as a building falls apart with Ultra being knocked through it and he crashes on the ground, he gets up quickly despite all the injuries.
Diara: Oh man, this sword is awesome! Nyan was right-
Diara sees Willow and Tatsumaki.
Diara: Oh, look new opponents~
Willow: Huh...
Diara stood menacingly as she waited and Ultra turned to Willow and Tatsumaki.
UltraX: Great timing, if you both really are gonna be here atleast go deal with Nyan, he is far more of a threat then her!
Willow: And where is he?
UltraX: They went down into the forest, you will eventually find him and Vlad with Elaina.
Tatsumaki looks pissed at UltraX and stomps her foot on the ground.
Tatsumaki: Hey, who are you to order us elder people around any-
Ultra vanishes and appears with having the sharp part of his scythe near Tatsumaki's neck.
UltraX: I will be your reaper if you do not listen and go.
That sounded more like a threat as he vanished and appeared back on the spot he was before that looking at Diara as Tatsumaki then despite being annoyed she ran leaving the battlefield, it was surprsiing that Diara let her even go without trying anything.
UltraX: Guess you really hold right to finish your fights before doing anything else.
Diara: Obviously, after all I cannot feel proud if I attack an outsider like that...
Ultra smiles.
UltraX: Alright then, let us continue shall we?
Willow turns around and runs to the other side.
Diara: With pleasure~
Both continue their fight with casual dodging and parrying and along Ultra landing a couple of hits against Diara with his scythe slashes and then he kicks her back and then he charges something...
UltraX: Scythe mode ~ Shining Cycle Instant!
Ultra vanishes and appears and next to Diara and he quickly releases a burst of speed to quickly slash at every direction, dealing damage to her all around her and then he does an X slash and then before kicking her she quickly lands a slash with the soul sword and then backs away as he screams and then backs a little down which prevented his kick.
UltraX (Thinking to himself): ...Damn it, it hit my soul directly... What if it hits me a few more times? Am I gone for good?
Diara then runs to him and attempts to hit him again, but he dodges on time and then she continues slashes and she continues to attack.
Meanwhile with Vlad, Elaina & Nyan...
Nyan punches Vlad in the guts 3 times and then kicks him back as he crashes into a tree and Elaina attempts to jump Nyan, but he blocks and punches her in the face and kicks her back a little.
Nyan: Oh come on, you two are being so boring!
Elaina: Ugh...
Elaina was breathing heavily, so was Vlad as he got up and looked at Nyan and then Nyan forms a cursed energy orb and he throws it in the air as it slowly grows.
Nyan: Okay, let us make this more interesting... If you die, HALF OF THE PLANET WILL VANISH!
This quickly scacred Elaina & Vlad, both continued to hold their fighting position and then all 3 ran at each other again resuming the fight with cursed imbued punches and kicks and then Nyan pushes Vlad and then notices Tatsumaki arriving and then he suddenly was already infront of her sending her back with a powerful divergent fist hit which made her hit a couple of trees and then a rock which then she caught blood out and fainted.
Nyan: Pathetic back up-
Nyan blocked Elaina & Vlad's cursed energy imbued punches with ease and then he ducks under making boht Elaina & Vlad kick each other with cursed imbued kick knocking each other back against a tree of their end and then their opponent stops ducking and gets up.
Elaina gets off the tree she crashed into and then runs towards Nyan again as she tries to barrage him, but he dodges each punch for 5 seconds before he kicks her up in the air and then he dodges Vlad's lighting bolt and then he throws Elaina towards Vlad and he catches her as Nyan looked at them.
Nyan: You are really making me lose my patience every 2 minutes...
Nyan stopped powering up as he thought that was enough for them as he already started outmatching them in every possible stat.
Vlad was surprised that even Tatsumaki couldn't handle one blow from Nyan, the power balance feels like it has changed drastically and it hasn't even been a day yet...
Vlad: ...Ugh...
Vlad begins to charge an attack while Nyan was focused on Elaina who tries to attack him, obviously he had a plan and using the cursed technique with of course covering the tracks of the energy to send Elaina a plan in order to kill Nyan, but it may require time to to charge the attack so with that message he asked her to distract him and fight him.
So the fight continues with Elaina landing a solid punch against Nyan, but that did nothing as he just turns back to face her with her fist still in his face and then she gets punched in the guts and then kicked in the head and then caught in Nyan's barrage for the next 10 seconds until then she blocked the last 3 punches and both backed away from each other as both charge a cursed energy blast and then clash with each other, then Nyan's one splits a part of it and lands on Elaina which then leads for the rest of Nyan's blast to hit her hard and send her flying as then he vanished and appeared right behind her and grabbed her by the head and hit her back of the head with a weak kick that dealt way more damage due to her weaker endurance and then he slammed her down at the ground hard.
Nyan then tries to turn around, but his leg got grabbed and then he turns down to see Elaina was gone and was grabbed by vines, he tries to move, but he cannot...
Nyan: N-No, despite her power level, this cursed technique is sapping my cursed energy away!
Elaina then charges from a far with her manifestation combined with cursed energy.
Elaina: Cursed Triple claw ~ Beast instinct!
Which leads to her landing multiple hits at him from all directions for the next 3 seconds at fast paced speed landing 3x more then she could do for 3 seconds and then as a finisher she slashes Nyan's chest 4 times and then makes the claws vanish and she uppercuts him sending him in the air with the ground and those vines.
Elaina (Through Cursed Mind messanger): How long?
Vlad (Through Cursed Mind messanger): Hold him a little longer please!
Elaina sighs and turns up to see Nyan was gone and the vines were holding a log.
Elaina: God damn it-
Elaina gets hit by a Cursed Energy blast and then send back as she was knocked and flies through a couple trees and then Nyan catches her.
Vlad (Thinking to himself): If I'm right, not even Elaina transforming can match his power, this one attack I have is the only thing that can even kill him probably. After all from what Isabella told me and Elaina is that half of the demon stone only gives half of the power, but a full one makes you immortal as long as you have it. If X manages to obtain the other piece and give it to Elaina, that is one way... However, it seems we have to try my plan first.
Nyan then throws her through more trees all the way back and he vanishes and appears on the spot Elaina was supposed to hold him, but instead of him catching her, she vanishes.
Nyan: Wait-
Elaina comes out of the ground and drags him down beating him in a barrage and then sends him out of the ground and then she vanishes again and appears infront of him and kicks him down on the ground, then she throws a cursed orb which gets deflected and then Nyan vanishes and appears further back as she lands on the ground.
Nyan (Thinking to herself): The damage that I caused is being healed, has she mastered the reverse cursed technique and managed to use positive energy as well?
Nyan started at her, even though she dealt some damage, it was not even close to hurting him that much and that led to them to stare at each other.
Elaina knew that if she doesn't create the perfect opening for Vlad, he may realise he is powering up his manfiestation's special attack as Nyan was distracted by Elaina and may backfire the last stand they can make to finally win this battle.
Nyan runs towards her and she dodges his punch and then vanishes when he kicks, then he quickly turns around to block her punch and then both continue clashing in punches and kicks with some cursed energy orbs and divergent fist clashes for the next few minutes.
Then suddenly Elaina got caught in another barrage for the next few seconds and then some sort of lighting shines around Nyan's fist and then when he tried to land it, she dodged and Elaina kicked Nyan from down the chin sending him up in the air for a bit as she lands a cursed energy orb which shoots him back and then it explodes sending Nyan as he crashes into a stone wall.
Nyan gets off the wall and dodges the rest of the cursed energy orbs and then his punch against Elaina was blocked once more and both go back to clashing for the next few minutes and it continued with the clash, but then Elaina manages to touch him on the chest with a stop hand and suddenly he was stopped at a spot.
Elaina: Imagenary, Aduma, Thorn!
Elaina sends Nyan in the air and then vines all come from each side of the ground grabbing Nyan and holding him tightly.
Elaina: Cursed Technique ~ Ground Vines.
Elaina sighs as she holds him tightly and walks a little bit further to Vlad.
Elaina (Whispering): Now, dear~
Vlad: This is it, no more holding back you scum! if you think I'll let you from the past who's wronged the Adumfor Kingdom just take the thorne and fight for your selfish motives with your sister and get away with the crimes and the people you've hurt, you are dead wrong!
Vlad lets out a sigh as he sends his technique in the air above Nyan and Nyan looked up as he saw it was a giant orb with such a high power level...
Vlad: Nikolov ~ METEOR SLAM!
As he said that he suddenly slammed a Meteor down hitting Nyan hard as everything for their eyes fades to light.
Just 5 minutes before that back at UltraX and Diara clashed, his scythe against her soul sowrd and as the fight was rising to a conclusion as it seemed...
UltraX: Blessing ~ Energetic hell... 5%!
UltraX (Thinking to himself): D-Damn it, I cannot unleash the positive energy technique too well, even though I never mastered that one...
A positive energy hits Diara hard from one side and then another sending her all over for the next 4 minutes and then despite Diara being heavily injured, the technique suddenly stopped and then she begins to float as she notices that UltraX falls down on the ground, it seems that despite all, not even UltraX could outlast the soul sword's effects...
Diara flies down to him and lands next to him.
Diara: ...What a shame...
Diara gets on her knees and touches the back of his neck with a finger gun form of her two fingers to check and it was confirmed to her as she pulls away.
Diara: Well, you fought well atleast UltraX. I will remember you in my future kingdom with my brother.
Diara gets up and makes her soul sword vanish as she begins to walk away and soon enough she passes through the destroyed terrain in the city that was caused by the battle and looks, suddenly she felt something else rather say... Guilt in a way.
Diara: ...Why... Why can't I just ignore these emotions?!
Diara felt emotional damage, the place that caused reckage and destruction was the street her mother used to work at, and even the shop sign that is on the ground and split as she looked at it was the same from 1000 years ago, her own mother was so respected that she was remembered and yet here she is destroyed not only her own work, but all she did to make her kids happy...
Diara did shred a tear as she continued walking, then suddenly an explosion was heard which surprised her, that explosion was so high and yet it wasn't Nyan, she looked up to see some birds flying away as the explosion was just finishing.
Diara (Thinking to herself): Was that their doing? No way Nyan couldn't be defeated by this attack, no no...
Diara thought about it, obviously the mortal she fought was strong and managed to injure her quite badly and she did not doubt that the mortals or well... The humans could be this powerful.
Diara recalls a flashback...
During the battle, 20 minutes before the explosion that happened.
UltraX was breathing heavily after landing some powerful hits on her.
Diara: I, Diara declare you the strongest human of them all!
The flashback ended...
Diara continued walking down her path, remembering her battle with UltraX made her feel like he could've beaten her brother too...
