《The Demon and The Angel (Complete)》Chapter 29 Death of the Grim Reaper

Lilian PoV
Its been 20 minutes since we ran away. Plum and KumI ran as fast as possible to outrun anyone following but no one did. We were sure Vil’crI stopped them. From where we stood we could feel it. The tremors from the fight. A fight against some of the greatest powers in this universe we really had no place their as he had said we must look forwards with our heads held high so we can protect each other and save this world from that man.
Crono PoV
So...its finally that time huh. The day to choose an heir for the reaper. Its been a nice time old friend and sorry for making you suffer so for such a long time. May your next life be better.
Though I would choose I believe Vil has chosen his own heir already. The young boy already holds the title worth holding Soul Slayer it will be a long time before he can wield it to its maximum power. I should prepare to transport his scythe.
I couldn’t help but have tears fall. Though I am the god of death and live seeing the death of all beings the being known as Grim Reaper is special in my heart. I choose them because I have to alter their path. Vil’crI is a special person because I made him grieve so I can make him a safeguard to the human race at the time as well as being my back up. His programming is what allowed me to awaken silently and remodel myself.
To use him so hurts me more then anything but I am happy to see his frozen heart was able to be melted by one of my chosen children before he died. Accepting his death a Grim reaper is a being to be feared as much as the demon lord himself.
My eyes turn towards Lilian. I can’t help smiling, though sad she smiles while she sheds tears for one who has found his happiness and can die without regrets. This child truly deserves to be a Goddess of Love. She is strong I hope the best for her and her friends. Now Baal I hope you're ready because things are going to get hectic soon for you. Things are moving so quickly. I think I should make my friends last fight a public show of the real strength in this world.
Moving outside of the world into the real world I appear within the lab holding my brain. The cameras give me visual and in a large glass container loaded with energy a swirling mass like a galaxy spinning was what could be called my body in its visual form. I leave the room and enter the internet and start sending out my conscience towards all major TV stations. I create a virtual room and appear in my old man form I use within Aurora.
(I’m sure you all agree that Crono has to look similar this epic badass that screams True God of Death

Soon images on square screens from cameras of all the laptops or projectors from all the CEO of all the major TV stations appeared with them appearing on it
Crono: Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Crono.
???: What are you to hack into all our stations systems.
Crono: I am the AI running Aurora Online. I did not hack your systems to cause trouble. My friend is going to begin his battle to the death and I wish all the humans of this world to see what kind of power walks in this world..

???: What do we get out of this.
A woman asked.
Crono: Well obviously all of you will allow me to broadcast these images and you get the views and money or whatever you get from views.
???: Agreed
all at once nearly half of them men agreed. To get footage from some of the greatest creatures in the world of Aurora isn’t something that can be passed by. so many agreed because for someone to hack so many systems they need a supercomputer and being an AI makes it easy to believe even more so the most advanced of them all. The rest soon joined in and Crono took control of the programming making a screen saying they were sorry for taking the scheduled program and a special would start. The image of Vil’crI appeared speaking and soon his transformation taking place. Crono’s voice appeared just after Vil’cri’s form appeared completely.
Crono: My friend this skeleton is Vil’crI he is the grim reaper of the underworld. This fight against the Demon lord will most likely cost him his life so please watch without disrespecting him as these are his final moments.
A moment later the voice of the announcer explained whose voice it was. That alone caused massive chaos in the world. The AI planning something without the companions consent.
The CEO as well sat in his chair watching the video. He knew of every important figure in the game. Vil’crI included, he also knew how attached Crono was to him. Drinking a cup of tea that seem to lose its taste after hearing this news he just looked at the screen.
Mr. Yeon: This world is pretty much alive now. I can’t stop it even if I wanted to. The computers don’t react and we can only monitor the capsules. I think we can only live with what is going on.
His eyes move towards the screen. The menacing figure Vil’crI gave off now was truly that of Death Incarnated. His eyes were glued to the screen. He was determined to watch this to the end no matter how long the fight lasted.
I watched him from the camera he may have been against me taking control but it seems nothing can be done. This world was now alive as it was during the war.
Vil'crI PoV
I stood still looking at Lucifer as he stood there. I could see shock on his face and confusion in his eyes. My eyes also peered into his soul and saw fear of me. To live a lavished life for 2000 years without knowing such a dangerous being walked so close. Rage slowly built within and soon equalled his fear.
Lucifer: How long? How long did you plan to stay in my service before attacking!?
Vil'cri: I had no plans to attack you. My rage had subsided the moment the Celestial war ended and all but the remaining teleportation circles were destroyed. It guaranteed the safety of the mortal world. My job was also here. I am the underworlds reaper not the mortal worlds. That has been the job of an old friend for eons much longer then I have been a reaper. He is a demigod but he has lived so long that his power is only dwarfed by the god of deaths power. My power is nothing conpared to his. So Lucifer are you ready.
I lift my scythe and rest it on my shoulder. I saw him stiffen a bit. As we stare at each other we got ready.
All of a sudden Lucifer jumped high into the air desperately as if dodging something and landing again. Moments later, three deep scars appeared in the land behind him destroying what remain of the town and causing great tremors and the ground rose and large black flames rose from the ground.

Vil'cri: Do you hear it Lucifer? The screams of the dead. The dead you killed. They scream out from the flames of hell wanting your blood soaking the ground.
He looked back at the incredible sight of the hell flames. Unlike the spell [Hell Flame] that demons can do by mixing darkness magic with fire magic and demon mana these were true Flames from the depths of hell. Greedy flames that only want to eat and burn the soul of the living.
Truthfully if Baal were to see these flames he would enter a state of panic as because these flames are like the ones he awoke to cast Nightmare Inferno.
In Lucifer's soul fear began to creep out again through his rage. All living creatures instinctively fear flames from hell. It is a natural response as they would burn the soul to is fines grain befire returning to its depths.
Turning towards me with sweat covered face and an evil grin on his face.
Lucifer: To have such a grand meal walk past me for many years. I cant wait to devour your very soul. It would make me the ruler of hell as well. Your scythe will also make a great fixture in my throne room.
As he talked his body grew. Crimson skin like the color of blood covered his body. Large muscles the would probably be denser than the largest diamonds and an evil presence that could literally kill any who are to week. Standing above me at 3 and a half meters. Huge red bat like wings appeared on his back and in his hand a long red trident.
Getting serious for the first time in two millennia he both held ourselves in great pride. The next moment in a blink of an eye the area around us burst into flames as scars in the ground appeared carving the landscape.
At its center we still stood there as if we hadn't moved but that wasn't true. We just moved too fast and left behind an afterimage. Our images appear in several spots just as the more scars appear and flames erupt.
Within the underworld the whole planet was feeling this fight. If they didn't feel the tremors from the attacks they felt the mana from the attacks. All the remaining Divine Demons who were just casually going about their lives looked towards the fight as if they could see it. All of them could tell who it was and many had sad looks. They all stopped and "watched" the fight.
Those in the other two realms also felt it. In the upperworld every god could feel this and had assembled and in a special chamber they opened an image to this disturbance and watched the fight between the two. Thadius was on the edge of throne as he watched the fight of his most hated enemy.
The mortal world on the other world felt it as natural disasters. Storms, floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunami. The battle caused the other realms to enter a state of frenzy for survival or fear.
In the real world the whole planet had also stop to watch the fight between the grim reaper and the demon lord. It was a moment where you could very well say the whole planet was truly quite. Not a single soul spoke a word.
For a half hour we both clashed like this. The injuries we gain were immense. I lost the right side of my chest with my right arm half of my face was broken as well. I took one of Lucifers arms, his left horn and injured him internally. All of them cauterized instantly not allowing to fix the damage.
He was still going strong but I could see it was having a heavy toll on him. He lost part of his mana when I cut his horn. Being all bone my bones hold my mana.
At the turn of half an hour we both stood on some large ground far from where we began. I was supporting myself on my scythe while Lucifer did the same with his Trident.
Lucifer: Seems you reached your limit. Guess I'm not the only one with a limiter on my power.
Vil'cri: Yes it's my limit but don't think its the end of your suffering.
I looked at my feet and saw a small ball of light. I began smiling though it didn't appear on my face that lacked flesh. Suddenly the black flames from my robe lit up and covered my body.
Lucifer: What is this? Another futile attack.
Vil'cri: No. Just making sure you don't get stronger.
The black flames began burning my body and converging into my scythe. It began to change. The old wooden pole became straight like a staff. Etchings like that from the ancient tome appeared on its body. The blade of the scythe disappeared into the flames as it was absorbed. Soon the black flame turned a bright white. Brilliant light that held power flowed from my body into the staff.
After a minute the flames were completely drained into the staff and I planted it into the ground to support myself. Only two dim flames remain shining from my eyes.
Lucifer: What did you do. Your power diminished.
I didn't listen and lifted the staff with what strength I had left and slammed it into the ground over the small glowing ball between my feat. A huge magic circle opened up below me as I let the staff go. It slowly raised and I looked up to it.
Vil'cri: My job as Grim Reaper is done. Go to my heir and support him in his future. Protect him on his path as I was finally able to do for those kids.
The circle shined brightly and with it reaching its peak, the black staff vanished into thin air.
All that remain was me on the ground and a stunned demon lord that was looking towards me.
Lucifer: What was that just now?
Vil'cri: Hehehe.
My laughter was raspy as it left my mouth.
Vil'cri: I placed all my essence, my divinity, into Soul Reaper. Only the one I see as my heir will be able to access it and only when he is ready. Now I have reached the end of my life and can finally meet my love.
The dim flames in my eyes suddenly flared up and covered my body. It was a great bright light.
Vil'cri: Before I go I will make sure to get rid of this body as well as the single drop of divinity I have left. Tell me Lucifer have you ever seen someone covert divinity into power.
The red skinned demon became pale as he listened to the dying skeleton.
Vil'cri: A single drop can obliterate an entire region and the aftereffects are quite varied depending on the being that was destroyed.
The flames began converging around my body making a dome and slowly it grew brighter.
Vil'cri: For a grim reaper, being off death, it will bring life to the land he died in as I let the souls of the dead reincarnation into this world.
Lucifer was almost like a ghost now and he turned her flew as fast as he could.
Vil'cri: Run as you like but you will still get hurt.
The dome grew to its brightest and looked like a solid ball of light but that lasted only until two clear words were said.
Vil'cri: [Reaper's Funeral]
The ball of light became like a sun and it rapidly expanded releasing sudden bursts of light and fire. It quickly caught up Lucifer even though he was flying at monstrous speeds. A large burst of white flames attacked him and punched far ahead as it began to slow its expansion but the damage was done.
The long wings of the demon lord as well his tail had been burnt to a crisp and left him nearly unconscious in great pain.
Slowly the bright sun dispersed and showed its destruction. Where once was a large plain wasteland now was a giant crater the size of which is unimaginable. From the rubble you could see small blades of green grass and trees beginning to pierce the ground. The land had absorbed the divine power of that blast and its pushed back the evil miasma encroaching on the space.
At the center of the crater sat a stone statue of a lone skeleton. The fast growing plants surrounded the skeleton making a beautiful garden that gave a unique feeling with the skeleton at its center. Behind the skeleton stood a tall man with black hair and pale skin while he wore a long blue robe. His body was transparent like a ghost.
He stood there and smiled towards the skeleton for a moment and turned around to the young woman with two babies on her arms and one girl next to her.
???: I'm sorry for making you wait for so long.
The man embraced them and all together they vanished like air that blew in the wind.
In the real world the entire world's population that was watching were frozen as they watched the man with his family vanish. During the fight all the players had exited Aurora and were watching. As the image changed to crono he began talking.
Crono: That man who just died is a dear friend. For those who want to know who I am. My name is Crono, the AI that runs Aurora online. This footage you just saw is live from the underworld. Its only the beginning. I would also ask for you players to stop considering the natives of Aurora as simple NPC. This fight you watched has caused high levels of natural disasters in the world you players explore. When you all return to Aurora the NPC will have changed. The natural disasters are unprogrammed events and will make the natives think for themselves. This world, my world, is living just like yours so don't treat my children like simple computer data.
The TV screen turns black as the connections are cut. There was a moment of complete shock to everyone after hearing his message. All at once the players jumped in. Dok as well hopped into his capsule covered in sweat. He is the closest player to Baal he will have to tell him about the danger Lilian passed and survived through.
Dok: I hope nothing bad is going on.
Jumping into the capsule he logged in and quickly ran out of the library to see how the city was. What he saw was a partially destroyed city and a massive light barriers around the city all the way to the edge of the forest. Looking up he saw the largest magic circle he had ever seen. With six different colored inner circles with a massive center on a magic circle covering the sky nearly all the way to the horizon he could see.
Looking down he saw a small version of the same circle with Baal collapsed at its center and six figures looking over him before they launch into the sky flying through the barrier and going their separate ways.
