“Infinite Demon Dragon!”

The silhouette in front of Miko disappeared and he was now standing in front of a completely different being than before. She had a pair of black horns on her head, she had a metallic mouth mask with a snake in the shape of the infinity symbol on it, her arms were covered with a black scales which looked like they were parts of claw gauntlets, she had a pair of red dragon wings on her back and a scaly red tail which turned black at the tip. She was wearing a black sleeveless trench coat with a red demon on the back, a red top, black bottoms and a pair of armored boots. Her hair was a burning red and her eyes had an Ouroboros symbol in them.

“Well….This could be interesting.”

Miko said with a smile. Luka looked at him with a fierce gaze which made him feel like he was being stared down by a dragon.

(Miko, I feel the presence of a powerful demon lineage in that girl.)

Ishma sent a message to his mind.

“Which one?”

(Beelzebub/Baal.)

Miko’s eyes widened a bit before he started grinning.

“So she has a bloodline comparable to my own demon lineage.”

*Bam!*

Luka suddenly moved with an explosive step which shook the ground.

“She’s fast!”

In an instant, she was already in front of Miko. A wall of darkness immediately formed between the two when Luka pulled her arm back.

“This should-”

*Bam!*

The wall was instantly shattered by Luka’s fist, which was now heading straight for Miko’s head. He reacted quickly by using wings of darkness to fly back.

*Bam!*

Luka leaped after him and charged at him like a rocket. Miko created a ball of darkness in his hand and fired it at her. Luka faced it head on and swat it away with a punch.

“That’s some impressive strength.”

Luka flopped her wings and flew towards Miko like a bullet. Miko spread his arms open and dozens of vortexes appeared behind him.

“Black Bombardment!”

The vortexes started firing powerful black beams at Luka, who maneuvered through them and still headed straight for Miko.

“Heh.”

Miko smirked and move his fingers. At that moment all the beams which past Luka bent and started chasing after her. With beams coming from all sides, Luka stopped and spread her arms. The Ouroboros in her eyes started glowing and the infinity symbol appeared on her palms.

“Infinite Barrier!”

A red sphere surround her and blocked the beams.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

The beams hit the barrier and caused cracks in it, but the cracks would always be repaired a second later. Miko noticed this and stopped his attack. He lifted his hand overhead and darkness started gathering in his palm before melding into a spear.

He grasped the spear and threw it with a sonic boom.

*Bam!*

The spear hit and instantly shattered the red sphere and passed Luka’s head and hit the ground. It exploded and caused an explosion of darkness which left a crater in the ground.

“As I thought, as long as that barrier isn’t destroyed in one instant it will continue to repair itself. I think I know what your proxy abilities are from the symbols on your body.”

Miko smiled.

“It’s the power of Infinity right? If I remember correctly Ouroboros represents an endless cycle, an eternity, infinity itself. I now understand why Ouroboros’ proxies are always hunted down before they reach their full potential. After all, if you’re allowed to grow you’ll obtain endless power and obtain the power to win this war.”

He started to laugh.

“I finally get why you’d received a power boost whenever those infinity symbols appeared. You’re literally boosting your abilities by tapping into the infinite power of the Ouroboros. However, there has to be a limit to how much power you can tap into otherwise this war wouldn’t have last this long. The first Ouroboros proxy would’ve won this war eons ago.”

Miko’s shadow suddenly expanded and an army of dark beasts slowly emerged from inside it.

“Let’s this that limit shall we, Dark Horde!”

*Roar!*

The beasts roared and charged at Luka with bloodthirsty expressions. Luka floated in the air and watched as the dark beasts charged at her. She slowly lowered her center of gravity and drew her arm back.

“Huh?”

The infinity symbol appeared on her arm and the Ouroboros in her eyes started glowing.

“?!”

A cold chill went up Miko’s spine. His instincts were telling him to escape. However, he was too late. Luka thrust her arm forward the next instant.

*BAM!*

An invincible force was fired from her fist which instantly obliterated Miko’s dark beasts and charged at Miko.

“Black Shield!”

A gigantic evil looking shield appeared in front of him to block the invincible force.

*Bam!*

The shield shattered in an instant and Miko was merciless forced out of the sky and into the ground, where his body created a 200m trench in the earth.

“Cough?!”

Blood gushed out of his mouth. He struggled to sit up and looked down on his chest and saw a hole in his clothes in the shape of a fist print.

“What monstrous strength.”

“Limit?”

He looked up and saw Luka walking towards him.

“Even if I have a limit who said that you’ll be able to see it?”

“?!”

Miko was instantly reminded of a day from his childhood. He had said those exact same words to Luka after she swore to push him to his limit and defeat him.

“….Ha…Hahahaha!”

Miko laughed and struggled to his feet.

“How have the table turns….Right, Luka?!”

He shot towards her with darkness swirling around his hands, the darkness then transformed them into a pair of black claws. Miko swung those claws at Luka who swung her own.

*Bam!*

The two claws clashed and caused a shockwave to spread out around them. A pair of demonic wolves pounced at Luka from out of Miko’s shadow. Luka’s tail came from behind and pierced through the wolves like a spear. She then threw a kick at Miko, but he suddenly fell into his own shadow and escape. The shadow then turned into spikes which stabbed towards Luka.

*Bam!*

Luka broke them with a kick and flew back. The shadow expanded and a black lion-like monster emerged from it with Miko in the center of it. The beast open its mouth to devour Luka who simply aimed her palm at it.

“Infinite Black Lightning!”

*Bam!*

A blast of black lightning shot towards the beast and complete tore it apart. Miko escaped the blast and pulled his arm behind him. Luka then saw darkness cover his arm and fist. Miko thrust his arm forward and his fist immediately turned into a truck-size punch aiming at Luka.

With her right arm covered with infinity marks, Luka threw a punch of her own.

*BAM!*

The two fists clashed and caused massive shockwaves to spread out and flatten everything around them.

The truck size fist disappeared and Miko was seen charging at Luka, who charged at him as well. Black static started appearing on Miko’s hand while white ones started appearing on Luka’s. The two thrust their palms out at the same time causing them the hit each other.

“Black Pulse!”

“Infinite Shock!”

*BOOM!*

An explosion of black and white static erupted between them and started destroying everything they came in contact with. The two was then forcibly separated when a powerful recoil blew them back.

Milk bounced off the ground a few times while Luka landed on her feet.

“Damn it….”

Miko sat up and cursed. He immediately saw a foot thrusting towards his face. Darkness appeared behind him and pulled him out of the way. Luka’s foot crashed into the earth and caused it to burst open. She looked at Miko and immediately chased after him.

“Woah!”

Miko ducked under a kick and dove to the side to avoid a hook and leaped back to avoid another kick.

(I can’t keep up in this form!)

He shouted in his head as he watched Luka charging at him again. He formed a wall in front of him and blocked Luka’s punch and countered with one of his own, But Luka didn’t seem fazed and kicked him in to the midsection forcing him back once again.

(It’s not that this form is weaker than hers, it’s just that it isn’t suited for brawls like this. I figured this out during my days locked up in the Demon’s Nest. This form is more suited for taking on multiple people at once and magic based fights!)

Luka thrust her fingers at Miko’s eyes causing him to bend his neck with all of his strength and avoid getting his eyes gouged out of his head.

(Luka’s currently relying on monstrous physical attacks to break through the tricky attacks this form provides. I can still win if I formulate a plan to trap her and neutralize her physical attacks but….)

Miko crossed his arms in front of him and blocked Luka’s fist. The force from the punch sent him flying back once again. His feet dug into the earth to stop him.

(I don’t want that! I know that I should kill as effectively as possible but I don’t want that! If I have to kill her I want to do it with overwhelming strength! I want to challenge at her own game and win!)

Miko suddenly returned to his normal form. When Luka saw this she paused.

“What are trying to pull? Is this your way of giving up?”

Miko shook his head.

“I’m not giving up at all. I’m just changing tactics.”

*Pulse!*

Miko’s entire body pulsated like a heart.

“I don’t what you’re trying to do but I won’t allow it.”

“Now, now. Little girl.”

Ishma and Regis appeared in front of Luka and blocked her path.

“Why don’t you stand there and watch? Miko is trying to make your fight as exciting as possible.”

Regis said. Luka looked at them and then Miko. She saw azure scales covered a large portion of his face. These scales spread to the rest of his body, covering his limbs.

Miko then started to get taller. In a few seconds, he was over 6ft tall. Luka saw his eyes darkened until they were as black as the night. His azure pupils became slit like a reptile’s and looked like a savage moon in the darkest night. His hair started moving like it had a mind of its own, as it hardened and became spiky and stretched down until it swept against the ground.

“Sorry for the wait.”

Regis and Ishma moved out of the way and Miko started walking towards Luka.

“With this form, I can take up your challenge and fight you on even grounds as a fellow dragon.”

He showed a wild grin.

“Say hello to my Dragonite Form.”

“Dragonite?”

Luka smiled and took a fighting position.

“It looks fun.”

*Bam!* *Bam!*

The two moved at the same time with explosive steps. They instantly appeared in front of each and exchanging punches to the face.

“Heh!”

They suddenly disappeared from where they were and reappeared several meters punching each other again. The two then started slugging each other with fast and powerful punches.

Miko hit Luka with a right hook and she replied with an uppercut. She then kicked him in the stomach but also got her leg caught by Miko, who lifted her overhead and slammed her on the ground so hard it burst open.

He then lifted her again to do the same thing again but Luka twisted her body and hit him with a knee strike to the side of the head. He released her and was immediately hit with a roundhouse kick.

“?!”

Luka was shocked to see her kick blocked. It wasn’t the fact that it was blocked that shocked her, it was how it was blocked.

“His hair….”

Miko’s hair moved and was somehow able to block her attack. Luka felt like she kicked a wall rather than hair. While she was distracted Miko stepped closer and punched her in the midsection so hard her feet rose off the ground.

“Guh?!”

Miko kept her in the air with an uppercut and then spun around with a roundhouse kick.

*Bam!*

The kick blasted Luka into the remainder of the forest where her body mowed down at least a dozen trees. Miko put some strength in his legs and shot towards the forest like an arrow mowing down anything in his path.

“Hahahaha!”

He jumped into the air when he saw Luka bouncing off the ground and aimed a stomp at her. Luka suddenly look up and her mouth mask opened up like automatic doors revealing her fanged mouth. Miko then saw red light gathering in her mouth.

“Shit!”

*BOOM!*

Luka fired a powerful beam from her mouth which hit Miko head on and blew away all the clouds in the sky. Miko fell on the ground with his body smoking.

“…..”

Luka slowly approached him.

“?!”

That’s when Miko suddenly sprung to life. He tackled her off the ground and slammed on the ground, literally forcing the air out of her. He then saddled her and started bombarding her face and body with his fists.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

Every fist that came in contact with her flash caused the earth to shake.

“Huh?”

Luka’s tail suddenly wrapped around Miko’s neck. She then used it to fling him off her. She then sprung to her feet and charged at him. She ducked under a punch and hit him with an uppercut. The infinity symbol was now on all of her limbs giving them continuously growing power.

*Bam!*

She slammed her fist in the center of Miko’s chest and caused his body to flip before hitting the ground.

*Bam!*

She was swat away by Miko’s hair when she tried to come closer to him.

“That hair is like a dragon’s tail!”

She spat out the blood in her mouth and said. Miko slowly got to his feet with a bleeding nose. He wiped the blood from his nose and smiled.

“This guy…he’s enjoying this?”

Luka was shocked to see that Miko was actually enjoying such a brutal slugfest.

“What’s wrong, Luka? Is that all you got? I went to the trouble of using my form that I designed solely for brawls, you know? Don’t disappoint me now!”

“Huh?!”

The veins in Luka’s head started pulsating and she gritted her teeth.

“I should be saying that you son of a bitch!”

The infinity symbols started covering her entire body and the Ouroboros in her eyes started spinning.

“Let’s see how much longer you can last, you brat!”

Miko smiled and lifted his fists in front of his chest.

“This is the final round.”

He charged at Luka and she did the same.

“After this, one of us will die and other will walk away the winner! So let’s go out with a bang, Luka!”
