Lunar Supremacy: The Original Alpha



"Do you believe this feeble snow can stop me?" he scoffed, as his body burst into flames, instantly melting the snow around him. Taking advantage of this situation, he swiftly flew toward Vincent, who had landed on the back of a winged serpent.

Vincent, however, had already anticipated his plan and knew how to counter it. Prior to this battle , he had wisely utilized his time inside his domain and developed his own original techniques, leveraging his understanding of physics.

"Cryogenic Tempest."

Suddenly, a cold gas materialized in mid-air. It was not meant to directly stop Diablo, but upon contact with his flames, a chemical reaction erupted, resulting in a massive explosion that illuminated the sky.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

As the shockwave rippled outward, a swirling mist began to envelop the skies, a result of the conflicting elemental forces unleashed by the explosion. 

"An opening!" Vincent's eyes narrowed, seizing the opportunity that presented itself. With a calm mind, he unleashed his devastating technique.

"Energy Slicer!"

In a stunning display of power, a brilliant blue energy materialized around his ice sword. It radiated an intense aura, akin to a concentrated beam of pure energy waiting to be unleashed.

As he swung his sword downwards, the energy transformed into a razor-sharp slash, tearing through the surrounding mist with a deafening roar.

The slash surged forward with unparalleled speed and precision, slicing through the mist as if it were mere illusion.

"BOOOOOM!"

Another explosion reverberated through the air as Diablo was compelled to deflect Vincent's fast energy slash. It was Vincent's strongest attacked yet, but Diablo was still able to endure, thanks to his divine armament.

However, Vincent refused to let this golden opportunity slip away. Balancing himself atop the winged serpent, he unleashed a relentless barrage of consecutive energy slashes, each strike growing stronger than the last. 

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

The onslaught created a series of devastating shockwaves, shaking the battlefield and intensifying the pressure .

"Enough!" Diablo roared in anger, his voice filled with an indignant fury.

In responsed, he had engulfed himself in circular blazing inferno, emanating waves of scorching heat. The intense flames served a dual purpose, successfully deflecting Vincent's onslaught of energy slashes while simultaneously clearing the mist that had previously hindered his vision.

"I must admit, you are strong," Diablo's words resonated through the air.

It was a rare moment of acknowledgement from the prideful demon, recognizing the formidable strength possessed by his enemy.

"But now, it's time to bring this to an end," he declared. He realized he had been foolish to hold back his power until now, because he was being wary of the possibility of other supernatural beings ganging up on him after he exhausted himself .

However, he now understood that victory could only be achieved by unleashing his full strength. 

He raised his great sword and with a flash of blinding brilliance, the powerful weapon began to disintegrate, its very essence trying to assimilated towards his body.

Then the air started to vibrate as the fragments of the sword danced in a chaotic whirlwind around him, finally merging with his being .

"AGGGGGGHH!" In an eruption of energy, he underwent a mind-boggling transformation that defied the laws of nature.

His body surged with immense power, expanding in size and stature, towering over the sky.

A resplendent azure blaze ignited along his muscular frame, turning his once magma like form into an embodiment of scorching blue flames.

As he flexed his newfound might, spark of fire rippled beneath his molten skin, emanating an otherworldly glow.

Diablo's wings, once modest and restrained, now unfurled with a thunderous roar, each pair multiplying until a total of four majestic sets extended from his colossal back.

The skin of his wings burned with fiery intensity, leaving trails of flames in their wake, as if the very hell conspired to serve as his vengeful wings.

As the transformative flames consumed his form, an all-encompassing heatwave swept across the battlefield. The icy landscape, once frozen in time, succumbed to the searing heat, causing everything to boil. The ground trembled beneath the weight of his presence, cracks forming as if the earth itself quivered in fear.

"Resonance!" Erika couldn't help but exclaim, her voice filled surprise.

It was a phenomenon that occurred when the wielder of a divine armament achieved a harmonious synchronization between their body and the armament itself.

Only a select few possessed the ability to attained such a state, and Erika knew of only a handful, including her brother Xavier and Fenrir. However, she had no recollection that Diablo was also capable of this extraordinary feat.

The Resonance amplified the already formidable power of a divine armament user, unleashing its true potential. If Diablo had unlocked this state, it meant that the battle had entered an entirely different realm, one where the clash between him and Vincent would transcend higher. 

"You should consider it an honor that you have compelled me to unleash this transformation," Diablo's voice resonated with a newfound depth as he loomed 40 feet tall in the sky. The sheer magnitude of his presence sent shivers down the spines of all who witnessed it.

Even Vincent was taken aback by the magnitude of his transformation. It was evident that Diablo's power had not merely doubled, but had escalated to a level that seemed almost unimaginable, surpassing all expectations.

As Vincent gazed downward, his eyes widened at the sight below. The ground itself began to ignite, flames dancing and devouring everything in their path.

It was not a deliberate act by Diablo to control his domain; rather, it was an unintentional side effect of his overwhelming transformation. The sheer intensity of his power had set the very earth ablaze, turning the once serene battlefield into a scorched landscape.

"So, this is his true power.?" Vincent muttered to himself.

The magnitude of Diablo's transformation had genuinely surprised him, but instead of fear, an unexpected surge of anticipation coursed through his veins. It was a peculiar realization, as if something deep within him craved to break through his current limitations.

"Can I surpass him?" This question reverberated in his mind

He had come to this battle with the intention of not just defeating Diablo but also to pushed himself to the very edge of his abilities. However, the exchange of power thus far had not quite brought him to that breaking point. At one point, he even thought that he had surpassed his own limits, believing himself to be stronger than any adversary, including Diablo.

But in witnessing Diablo's true power unfold before him, he had an epiphany. He understood that he was still far from being the strongest. The realization fueled his desire to continue growing, to transcend his current state and reach new heights of power. It ignited a burning resolve within him to push himself further, to discover the depths of his own potential, and to eventually stand as the true embodiment of strength.

"Now it's my turn to get serious.... Domain,"

Time seemed to stand still as Vincent domain started to took hold. It was as if a powerful force had seized control, holding everything and everyone in suspense. Hearts raced, and breaths were held as they waited with bated breath, unsure of what would transpire next.
