“Mana Burst!” I shouted and all of my stats skyrocketed!

[Quest Initiated: Kill Belial or Drive him back to Hell!]

Rewards: +5 Level ups for killing him / +2 Levels for driving him back to Hell.

“What the hell!?” Belial exclaimed after I powered myself up. He grit his razor-sharp teeth. “Burn!” He hurled his gigantic fireball towards our group.

Natasha gazed at the approaching fire with fear in her eyes and froze up. I realized that this wasn't a fight she was ready for yet. This was going to be a battle between Gods and monsters. I opened a portal to my penthouse in New York right next to her. I shoved her directly inside before closing it. It happened so fast, that she couldn't even react before she was gone.

The car sized ball of hellfire was still approaching us! The Ancient One made some hand gestures and chanted in a language I didn't understand. The massive fireball slowed to a crawl before it transformed into a large swarm of colorful butterflies that flew away in every direction.

The Ancient One was standing proud and acting cool as a cucumber. “You’ll have to do better than that Demon. What was your name again? It must not be important if I can't seem to remember it…” She taunted just to make him mad.

“I am Belial! The King of Gehenna!” hehe declared proudly. Demon’s couldn't resist bragging about their identities and titles. They had more pride than most Devils.

“Hmm? Doesn't seem to ring a bell. Have you heard of him, Layla?” She turned to me and asked casually.

“Nope. Never heard of him before in my life.” I lied perfectly.

[Acting has reached Level 4!]

“Liars!” He screamed and threw another giant fireball at us. This one felt even hotter than the first one. Just like the first fireball, the Ancient One dissipated this one as well.

I could see a bead of sweat dripping down the back of her neck. I feel like that took more effort out of her than she would have liked to admit. This was a Super Level being we were facing after all. That fireball was merely his opening move but it could have leveled a small town.

I noticed Belial paused to grimace at the Ancient One. I took advantage of his distraction and charged forward. The sound barrier shattered immediately from the sheer speed I currently had access to. A [Lightspear] was instantly in my hand and it radiated with power. I was on him in a nano-second!

“Fuck!” Belial cursed as I thrust it forward towards his head. He managed to tilt his head to the side at the last second. He didn't completely avoid my attack. My spear left a strong burn on his cheek.

He retaliated quickly by slamming a powerful fist right into my stomach! I felt the air leave my lungs as I took a few steps backwards. His fist was even coated in flames and I felt an added burn!

-200 HP

I was going to be feeling that one later. Well, I would if I didn’t have my Gamer’s Body…

He obviously wasn’t expecting me to recover so quickly because my next attack skewered into his upper torso. Another one of my [Lightspears] was sticking into his left shoulder and poking out the other side! “Graaah!” He shouted in pain before his entire form erupted in flames. They covered his entire being and blocked my view of him. I hopped backwards to avoid the searing temperatures. The dirt beneath Belial’s feet turned to ash and molten lava started to seep from the ground. He flared even more of his Hellish Power and the lava spread quickly. It didn't take long for the beautiful Scottish Hills to be overrun by a molten Hellscape.

The Ancient One floated next to me and grimaced. “And this is why our order exists. So Demon’s like him cannot come to Earth and wreak havoc. I'll be right back…” The Ancient One quickly opened her own orange portal and hopped through.

“What!? You're just leaving me to solo him!?” I exclaimed to the air!

[She ditched you…]

Fuck she did, didn't she? Awesome, now I was fighting a Super Class on my own…

A moment later, the flames around Belial died down. He was done throwing his little tantrum or whatever he was doing. I noticed that my [Lightspear] stuck inside his shoulder had vanished. The wound also looked to have completely healed. The area around us had become a molten wasteland.

The two of us floated above the wasteland and stared each other down.

“To think I had grown complacent enough to allow a mere ten wings to injure me. That won't happen again!” He declared as a sword of Hellfire appeared in his right hand.

“It will. In fact, I plan on killing you.” I said as I magically switched out the outfit I was wearing to the black dress death gave me. It was borderline indestructible and I doubted even Belial was strong enough to pierce it. I was almost disappointed Belial didn't comment on my change of wardrobe. I saw his eyes narrow on me with the slightest amounts of trepidation on his face. I wondered if he could sense the essence of Death herself on my outfit?

Belial shook his head and let out a loud scream. His flaming wings flapped hard behind him. He launched himself forward just as fast as I had before! His flaming sword came crashing down towards me. Another [Lightspear] was in my hand immediately to intercept the blow. My Tainted Light met his Hellflames in an explosion of power! A shockwave rang out around us that probably extended for miles. It was accompanied by a boom that sounded like a massive bomb went off.

Belial wasn't deterred that I blocked his full powered strike. He swung at me a second time and I parried him again. While he was flying backwards and off balance, I pointed my off-hand at him. In front of my palm, I opened a small portal about the size of a penny. It was linked to the very bottom of the Mariana Trench. The water pressure down there, paired with the tiny size of my portal, produced the most lethal blast of natural water ever created! The terrifying stream of pressurized deep sea water blasted forward and slammed into his stomach. Belial screamed when it easily punched through his stomach and out the other side!

[Ok, now that's a bullshit attack! Your portals and the deep sea pressure pretty much give you a spammable hydro attack that can cut through almost anything!]

‘Yeah, I thought of it after I flooded the Weasley house!’ The only downside was that the lethal water pressure quickly drops off and so it’s only useful at close range.

Belial’s body burst into flames once again and temporarily vanished. I turned to the side and saw him reappear in another burst of fire a few dozen meters away. His stomach wound was closing up before my eyes. That was another problem with my hydro attack. It wasn't magical, and therefore wasn’t that effective against beings with healing factors. Healing factors were so annoying to fight against! Almost all the Upper Level Marvel Villains had them too!

A quick check of my stats also told me I was sitting at around half my MP. If I absolutely had to, I could use HP to MP Conversion. I'd just have to be careful about getting hit at that point.
