Power that radiated from a mere breath he exhaled. His bloodlust was unlike any other one could ever seen. It was though countless worlds had fallen from his grasp and how mortal life is but a mere ants beneath his feet.
Caelum was using his demonic form that increased because of the demonic energy that he had to acquire recently. He had only one pair of horns as he decided to not go overkill that may end up killing his opponent.
"W-What are you!? Why do I feel like submitting to you??"
"Why don't you find out, kid!"
With that words time slowed down as caelum dash towards meliodas using supersonic punches that barely avoided by meliodas.
They moved in extraordinary speed that it was like an outside blur to normal human while someone stronger could only see glimpses of their battle.
Elizabeth watch in shocked seeing the battle was similar to when meliodas fought mael, the strongest arch angel.
Caelum was impressed towards meliodas due to the fact he was able to adapt from his power. Unlike meliodas, he had no proper training and experience when fighting someone stronger. While buying skill does give him the necessary information in the skill doesn't apply with battle instinct.
After half an hour of their battle, meliodas was able to match his one horn form. Caelum grinned setting his planned to visit dragon balls to have fight like this. He was battle junky and having mereoleona come then it would the perfect honeymoon.
"What are you people? I had seen a race such as your lover."
"Well you could say we are from a distance land far from this place. As for what we are it would be best you do not know."
Crimsyn explained to Elizabeth who was curious about their origin but respected their privacy to not ask more.
'System play me some boss music will ya.'
[Playing Barbie girl]
'What the fuck wrong you stupid system!!'
[Master did not specify…]
'….Who are you? Cereza? Just play Re:creators layers.'
[Playing Re:creator – Layers]
After changing the song into much suitable music, Caelum began to take it a bit seriously releasing his gravity seal and fuijutsu that limits his powers. Meliodas was shocked to see his opponent suddenly became faster and sharper than before but calm down and fought.
He realize what caelum was doing even though the latter didn't know. Meliodas push himself to the limit using assault mode to gain an advantage which it did.
Their power was immense that the surrounding trees was obliterated if a low ranking demon were around then all would have died from the pressure.
Caelum kick meliodas on the abdomen who surprising caught by him then toss caelum to the mountains then leap to punch him while in the air.
Elizabeth couldn't believe it but her lover was getting stronger by the second they fought. If they had the ability to see the battle power then meliodas had increased by two folds.
"HAAHAHAHA come to me demon king candidate and see if your worthy!!"
Caelum unconscious spoke this words being influences by the ancient incubus demonic god bloodline. He was enjoying their battle relishing it because only mereoleona was the one who he had fought in hand to hand.
Meliodas didn't hear his words and continued to fight like no tomorrow. Caelum saw that he had been consumed by his old personality decided to end it.
"What a drag…."
Caelum used flash step then used inertia forces to knock him without doing further damage. Meliodas was knock out rather easily and before he could fall to the ground, caelum carried him towards Elizabeth.
Upon arriving he was greeted by the shocked expression of Elizabeth seeing her lover unconscious and quickly ran up to her checking if anything bad happened.
"Relax I only knock him out, his power undeniably powerful but it consumed far too easily which will on day lead to his demise."
Afterwards caelum healed meliodas until he regained consciousness and asked what happened. Caelum explained everything which he was surprised to hear that he lost control.
"Well I gotta say you are one powerful demon."
"Thank you and forgive me asking but what race are you??"
"It's a secret but at least know we are no enemy."
Meliodas knew he didn't even used all his power yet still easily taken him like it was nothing. He was glad he was not an enemy.
After their battle they gotten acquainted still wary of melascula being with him but he couldn't do anything about it.
Caelum and his lovers excluding melascula who went to the tent commencement while they return to their temporary.
Afterwards, he reaped the benefits of the demon corpse and after devouring it them his body could feel sudden burning coldness inside his body.
He spread the energy through his inner world gradually the world energy seed sprouted more branches then created something below nelfheim.
[Master unlocked Helheim.]
Caelum was surprised to see that he had finally gain a new realm after gaining the alheim where the light boost his yang attribute while his yin became now equal to the yang.
The burning coldness was the mixture of alheim and nelheim. He used his conscience to scour the places and saw it similar to his nirvana flames yet was freezing everything. It was powerful flames that contains the world energy seed like the light of alheim.
Days then months went by as the holy war had broke through it's climax. Melascula released the original gowther from his prison which shocked but before long she disappeared from his sight never seen again for the next three thousand years.
Caelum heart ache needing to leave Merlin on her own. He places Avalon inside of her to protect her then left a clone in the form of Phoenix to guide her.
The pheonix share the same personality as Caelum therefore nothing would change only Merlin wouldn't know he was the Phoenix.
'I need be stronger for them. I wanted to lived peacefully but in order to achieved it I need to strive towards above the apex without fail.'
Caelum clenched his fist tightly drawing blood in the proceeds same as his lower lips. He turn to the sleeping Merlin who did not know that something previous will her.
He gave her one last kiss on the forehead gaining a smiled from her then spoke that broke him into tears.
"Big…brother..don't leave me…"
Caelum curse himself for doing something unfair and swear once this restriction was over and he gain his freedom from fate then he'll spoil her to no end like his other woman.
He went to nesta found she wasn't in her room and immediately thought she was awake. Caelum place a letter and some money before going back to his inner world not noticing the small figure.
"I Knew...you leave me….but don't worry big brother I know why."
Nesta knew long ago after meeting caelum that she had gaining vision of the future that would soon come. She was the founder of liones who had the ability of future vision that would be given to her successor.
Time passes Merlin awoken from a beautiful dream of playing with her big brother and sister like tomorrow unshackled by the holy war.
She rubbed her eyes seeing a burning bird at her window yet did not consumed the wood in which it was standing on. Merlin thought it was gift from her big brother making overjoyed but she noticed something.
A letter on it's peak that was addressed to her. Merlin took the letter then slowly read the content. Her eyes that was filled with joy was now full of sadness as tears began to fall.
She ran out of the room then looked at the outside used her power to locate he big brother even including her infinite skill to locate him but with no avail.
"W-Why….did y-you leave me!! Did I do something wrong!! Come back big brother!!! Waaah!!!"
She cried to the point of exhausting herself. Nesta appeared beside her looking at with sadness then hugged her adopted sister.
"Don't cry Merlin, big brother will come back. I don't know when but he'll come back I promised."
She was sadden like her but because of her innate skill future vision that was will the user the certain outcome knew what would happen in the next three thousand years.
The Phoenix flew towards them burning bright giving them enough to not be saddened and spoke.
From afar floating above them was caelum watching while tears was falling down his face. He frustrated to have this restriction into him but acknowledge that he needed to strive even higher in order to avoid similar things.
He watch as everything had began. The demon king and ten commandments are defeated and sealed into the eternal coffin while the demon king was place in the purgatory that would become caelum play thing for the next three thousand years.
The letter read like this.
"If you reading this then I had left to do an important task, pleased forgive me doing this and I swear I'll return but I don't know when it will be. Nonetheless I hope you stay strong until then.
Merlin, your big brother will always love you and I hope you like my gift. Happy birthday."
