"Magma Guard!" I exclaimed as Lucifero struck me in the face. The impact of his blow caused me to lose consciousness momentarily; when I regained awareness, I found myself amidst a pile of debris, indicating the considerable distance I had been thrown based on the strength of his mana signature. Slowly rising to my feet, I felt the pain in my face and realized that he had nearly knocked off my fire suit of armor with a single punch.
A dark mass descended before me, creating a massive crater as I spat out blood, remarking, "What a monster."
Deep down, I knew that all my efforts were in vain. When I was ordered to invade this realm, I had no idea that the power gap between us was so immense. I had believed that the enhancements I had received would be more than sufficient to confront this man. However, my superhuman body was failing me, and I felt pain coursing through my entire being. I had no choice but to resort to my trump card and hope for victory. But how could I summon it without being swiftly defeated?
"Cease this futile tantrum. You are no match for me in your current state," he bellowed as he confidently approached me.
Lucifero locked eyes with me and offered a sinister smile. "Your mortal body is failing you; surrender now and join me, and I shall grant you any desire you wish. I do not enjoy wasting someone's potential." He extended his hand towards me.
However, I knew his words were empty lies. He cared nothing for me or my kind; he wanted to toy with me. "Piss off. But if you're feeling generous, allow me to summon my strongest weapon. Or are you afraid of being defeated by a mere mortal?" I retorted with a hint of arrogance.
For a moment, Lucifero did nothing, then burst into laughter, causing the Infinite realm known as Darkmos to tremble. "Go ahead, Alpha, summon it. I will effortlessly strike it down and SHOW WHY I AM KING."
