Once his consciousness was able to detect them, Count Zitu immediately recognized the newcomers. They both had an eclipse with white wings in their back, bone spikes in their elbows and knees, a sphere of dark golden plasma around their bodies, and an apocalyptic dark purple aura.
The Rebirth Incarnations were able to replicate the power of Zatiel's Law Avatar and his Doomsday Incarnation. Their bodies were already beginning to crumble apart due to the massive amount of energy they needed to remain active, but the only thing in their eyes was killing intent as they flashed to the Devil Lord.
As a Rank 5 life form that had lived thousands of years, Zitu was able to respond to the surprise attack immediately. They were too close, so escaping or dodging them was not possible. He did not bother to turn his body and attacked with his whips while still looking forward.
The Rebirth Incarnations were not using a sword. The white sword was no longer a part of Zatiel's body, and the incarnations could no longer be born with one. The lack of a weapon was not a problem since their energy barely allows them to sustain their Law Avatar and Doomsday Incarnation.
The incarnations used their spikes and plasma to fight back the hooks of the Devil Lord. They completely ignored their defenses and pushed themselves to the limit to reach Zitu's body.
One of the Rebirth Incarnations lost the lower half of his body while the other had a third of his head cut off. Despite this immense damage, they were still able to pierce the back of the Devil Lord.
"AHHHHHHH!" Zitu screamed in pain as the incarnations penetrated his shoulders. Not only did he feel his body burning, but the purple flames were devastating his consciousness and beginning to infiltrate his soul dimension.
Zitu prepared to use all the power of his soul to purge the two foreign entities inside him, but before he could even begin, his instincts screamed, warning him about the immense danger.
Unfortunately, before the Devil Lord could do anything, the two Rebirth Incarnation inside him glowed with a purple light before detonating all the power they had in an instant.
"BOOM!!!"
The explosion filled the sky with purple and golden light as superheated plasma blasted in every direction.
Zitu's condition was horrible. The explosion obliterated his two shoulders and a considerable part of his chest, the whips fell to the ground, and Rebirth Force invaded most of his organs.
His life force was being consumed by the purple fire and producing an incredibly pure death force. If he did not purge the Rebirth Force fast, his body would rot, and escaping with your True Soul was almost the same as dying in a place like Baator.
'I need to escape. The damage I have endured is too much. If I remain here, Xenia will kill me.' Despite the pain he was enduring, the Devil Lord was able to maintain calm. After evaluating the danger, he immediately decided to run.
However, before he could even begin to escape, a whale-like creature appeared out of nowhere and flew to his chest with incredible speed.
Zitu was able to recognize the creature immediately. It was the same that swallowed two of his Rank 4 subordinated before disappearing into the ground.
The current power of the Undying Leviathan could equal a normal life form at the Fifth Origin Cycle. Powerful enough to be a crowd control weapon but of little use against a Rank 5 life form like Zitu.
Although it was not a threat to him, Zitu attacked with ferocity, especially now that he realized he could no longer perceive the Neo-Demon's location.
The Devil Lord opened his monstrous mouth. His teeth became giant spears before being shot to the Undying Leviathan.
The leviathan was fast, but it's dexterity was lacking, and there was no way it could dodge those spears. The creature did not bother trying to avoid them and instead only increased its speed.
The incarnation had the soul and body of a Rank 4 Void Creature fused in it. That granted the Undying Leviathan great defensive power, but the spears were still able to stop the creature approximately one thousand meters away from the Devil Lord's chest.
The Undying leviathan's body was shred to pieces. Before Zitu could relax, a flash of purple light exited the creature's maimed corpse and headed to the Devil Lord's chest.
When the Neo-Demon's presence appeared in his consciousness, Zitu did not hesitate and burned his life force to increase his spears' power and speed.
Zatiel no longer had the dark golden sphere around him. All of the power of the superheated plasma now surrounded the white sword. His defenses were severely diminished, but the power in his sword was amazing.
The Neo-Demon used his sword, wings, and spikes to fight the spears, but their power was too high.
In an instant, Zatiel's body became full of injuries. Thanks to the Undying Leviathan's assistance, which greatly diminished the distance between the two, Zatiel was able to reach Zitu's chest.
"WAIT!" Zitu yelled as he saw the Neo-Demon in his chest, right above his heart.
Unfortunately, the Neo-Demon did not bother with his words and buried his sword in the Devil Lord's body.
The size of the white sword could not compare with Zitu's gargantuan body. However, the moment the weapon pierced the Devil Lord's chest, it released a blast of chaotic energy along with dark golden plasma, blue flames, and purple fire.
Zatiel was exhausted after using Apocalypse Blast and released all the power he had charged in his white sword, but the damage was more than worth it.
The detonation of such an immense amount of energy created a massive hole in Zitu's chest. That, plus the damage the Rebirth Incarnations' self-destruction did, was enough to divide his almost one hundred thousand meter body in two.
The eyes of the Devil Lord were full of disbelief as he felt more than half of his body falling from the sky, leaving only his head and neck floating in the air.
Count Zitu was a ghargatula, a kind of devil known for the strength of their bodies. Losing his physical vessel meant that his battle power would regress to Rank 4, and trying to return to Rank 5 before a couple of hundreds of years was impossible.
Even though escaping would only delay the inevitable, the Devil Lord was not willing to remain here and die.
Zitu's True Soul left the soul dimension, but before he could exit the devil's head, Zatiel appeared in front of him.
"Where do you think you are going?." Zatiel's voice was cold as he spoke those words.
The Neo-Demon slapped Zitu's True Soul back into the devil's head. Zatiel transferred the Sealing Rune in his palm into the Devil Lord's skin, and this one extended all over his body the next instant.
The Sealing Rune was a simple and yet very powerful rune. Once they are in the open, a True Soul can achieve an incredible speed and perform all kinds of miraculous escape techniques, but the rune Zatiel just used sealed them in the body.
Zatiel could hear roar and tremors as Zitu's True Soul was trying to escape the mangled body, but even at full strength, it would have been hard to break the Sealing Rune power, much less now that the Devil Lord's consciousness and soul were so severely wounded.
After sealing this Rank 5 Devil Lord's True Soul, Zatiel waved his hand and moved the head into a space ring.
After defeating his opponent, the Neo-Demon's body trembled, and he could not help but cough blood. His Law Avatar disappeared, and Doomsday Incarnation was deactivated.
Zatiel gasped and felt like he would blackout the next second when he suddenly perceived a sweet fragrance.
Shades obscured his sight, and the next second, pink chains pierced his head, hearts, lungs, kidneys, stomach, and spine.
The Neo-Demon did not show pain when this happened; on the contrary, a pleasant expression appeared on his face. What was more shocking was the pink aura that began to invade his soul dimension.
A figure materialized in front of Zatiel the next second. It was the beautiful winged Devil Lord, Countess Xenia.
There was a wicked smile on the woman's face as she approached Zatiel and began to caress his handsome face and muscular body.
"Your body and laws are beyond impressive. Your battle power was equal to Zitu. Although he was a young Count, he was still a Rank 5 life form at the 1st Engraving Stage with a King Bloodline, and you defeated him. However, your True Soul is too weak, and your defenses to illusion and soul invasion spell are average."
Xenia's smile only grew wider as she spoke those words and noticed the pink aura filling Zatiel's soul dimension.
Zatiel's Law Avatar and Doomsday Incarnation granted a certain level of protection to illusion. Still, after defeating Zitu, the Neo-Demon could no longer keep them active, not to mention that Xenia was a Rank 5 life form at the 3rd Engraving Stage!.
Xenia could have defeated Zitu without a problem if it wasn't for the wound on her soul. The spell she used on Zatiel was very potent, and the stress it generated would have put her into unconsciousness.
The way the Countess was able to use such a powerful spell without side effects was simple. She consumed every devil in the city, allowing her to use her full power once.
