<< OHH! We finally meet at last! I had a feeling that it might have been you! Oh Lord! Did you come out just to accept joining me? >>

Arksha spoke with a smile, his hands out towards the demonic figure ahead.

<< Silence! Have you no idea who you're addressing in such a tone? I will be the only one asking questions! Before I kill you, tell me this How do you know my name? Why were you searching for me? And where did you learn to speak like that!? >>

A sudden smile appeared on the Shalker's face hearing Avilia speak, her voice a mixture between that of a man and a woman, like he had been waiting for her to speak those exact same words

<< Oh! So you don't know? Well I'll tell you! It's the prophecy! The prophecy has been fulfilled! The legends about the great galactic wars that terrorized the entire universe! And the queen of the demon side! Avilia Graymore! Sealed in a necklace waiting to find a worthy successor, thrust somewhere randomly in the universe! It's all been written! You are known! Your name has spread far and wide throughout the entire universe and about the power you hold! For as long as I could remember you have been sought after with a bounty on your head! Many people want you dead and many people want you alive I am of the latter I worship the ground you live on! Worshipping and trying to find you has been running in my family for many generations! It's my life purpose! And I, out of everyone in the entire universe managed to find you first! In my household, we have an ancient table that inscribes much of what I said... And a few months ago... The tablet started glowing! glowing out of nowhere! I had a good feeling about all of this! It was a sign! And now I know exactly what it signified! It was your great return!>>

Avilia, who had taken over Moby's body's eyes grew wide in disbelief hearing his words, her mind feeling like it was about to explode from everything, the unimaginable pain, and hatred from Moby's soul leaking into her consciousness, making her already hurting mind hurt even more as she tried to take everything that was spoken to her in

'Did the angels leak my information and put a bounty on my head? What are my people doing to stop this? Did they also put a bounty on me for my safe return? What in the hell is going on What is that tablet!? Am I now in constant danger wherever I go!? Am I a magnet for trouble!?'

<< Oh dear Avilia My beautiful demon queen It's okay Your suffering and confusion will come to an end when I take a hold of you... My families search for you has led us to many places, including finding those ancient demon papers, one of which you have right now For many generations, we studied those papers and how to harness the demon energy in the air, practicing over, and over, and over again, that including how to read and write after some extreme analysis of everything. I am more worthy of you than that filthy human! I can appreciate you more! And I am the one who, after many years of training, managed to write that contract paper as a non-demon! Impressive right? Now join me instead and we will rule over the world and take out those filthy angels that put you in this mess! Alongside the entire foul shalker army! With me all of this could be easily accomplished! So, what do you say? >>

Arksha asked with his hands out once more, Avilia's cold glare only increasing the more and more she heard him He was the one who sullied a paper from the book of resurrection And he dared boast about it to her? She hated him from the bottom of her heart, just looking at his face made her sick She was not sure if such hatred stemmed from his arrogance, and shameless disrespect or because he had hurt Moby so bad to the point that she had to use the trump card to take over or else they would have both died...

However, one thing that she was 100% certain of was that such a man was not worthy of even uttering her name let alone claim her as his own

<< You filthy mongrel! Do you really think you are worthy of me? I would never join someone like you! I am quite content with my current host! He is 10 times more worthy than you can ever be! Get out of your fantasies! You will never be the demon lord! >>

Avilia roared with clear resolve and a mixture of anger, something that Arksha thought would happen yet feared at the same time.

<< So be it I didn't want to do this while you were the one in control But I'm going to have to beat it out of you and take you by force Even if you are the demon lord, in such a fragile, weak, puny body, there is not much you could do You are still far outmatched, no matter what you try, >>

The shalker's tone suddenly turned mellow and rather melancholic, like he was inwardly asking for forgiveness for what he was about to do.

Avilia intently listened to Arksha, trying to suppress all of her emotions from exploding, and spoke something that had been bugging her, one of her possibly 1000s of unanswered questions she wanted to ask.

All he was to her was a big bank of information but the world unknown that she so desperately wanted to know, so in the meantime, as she continues preparing herself, she will try to squeeze out as much information that she possibly could....

<< You keep talking about me and you joining forces like you can transfer my consciousness to yourself! You can't be serious! >>

<< Oh, well My dear demon queen That is because I can >>

<< WHAT!? >>

<< With my research of those ancient demon papers, I discovered a method that will allow me to transfer your consciousness from him into me >>

Avilia could not believe her own ears, with sudden hope, yet a hint of unease in her heart as well as flashes of her own soul being ripped out of Moby's body began playing in her mind that was still hurting from Moby's aching soul, yet she needed to push on to get more answers before she lost her chance.

<< Would it be able to transfer me to a body of my own? >>

Of course, Avilia was no traitor, there was no way she could betray Moby's trust. Yet, she still asked the question into baiting him to answer, and if she managed to find where he hid the rest of the papers he possessed, she would be able to do the same thing as well

*Argg*

Suddenly, Avilia grunted, grasping her heart and head with both of her hands, trying her best to keep eye contact with the enemy despite her body that felt like it was going to explode.

<< It's nice speaking to my idol and goddess like this. It's rather refreshing and unbelievable beyond my wildest dreams... But, to answer your question, I would say sadly not It would have to be into a living being where that living being has control over you, just like how you are now I know that state of yours is only temporary so- >>

<< DIE YOU FUCKING BASTARD! >>

<< DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE! >>

Suddenly, a dragon-like roar echoed throughout the entire air, blowing a gust of wind in his direction as he saw Moby with cold, predator, beast-like eyes, slashing at him with a burning black katana filled with rage, the injuries that were previously littering his body seemingly nowhere to be found as Avilia had been secretly healing Moby's body with her own magic while she was having her discussions with Arksha without him even noticing inorder to prepare for the upcoming fight.

<< Interesting... >>

Arksha spoke with a smile, lifting his finger up, surrounding it with red energy as he easily blocked the incoming attack, which he then followed up with a punch of his own.

The punch was coming in fast, like a train ready to crash straight into him as Moby only barely managed to react by activating his faze skill, causing the shalkers hands to go right through him, which caught him off guard.

As Arksha leaned forward, both of their bodies blended. Moby was literally inside Arksha's body and was able to see all of his organs working from the inside.

When he reached over to crush his heart, it of course didn't work, yet with Moby's beast-like instincts, he decided to try it anyways.

In his current state, he was wasting way too much energy and needed to escape. He had no idea what repercussions deactivating faze was inside something and he couldn't care less in his current state.

But, instead of both of their bodies blending together into a monstrosity, Moby had suddenly teleported above it without it even noticing, allowing a seemingly open strike at his head.

Moby had the urge to scream as he attacked down at him with a black energy, heavily enhanced sword, yet no matter how much he wanted to scream, he was simply not able to as Avilia who was back in his mind was fighting for control once more and couldn't simply watch as he stupidly gave away his location.

Yet, even still Despite all of her efforts, as Moby slashed down towards the shalker's exposed head, the attack was simply blocked by an arm that suddenly popped out of nowhere, blocking the attack with zero enhancements at all, the shalker looking up at Moby with a smile before punching him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him, making his eyes go white in a split second before being blown away towards a mountain in the distance, cracking it completely in half from the power exerted.

<< Not bad! Not bad! I honestly didn't even expect much from you! But you truly impressed me and caught me off guard! But I don't think you heard me the first time when I said I used to be in the council of 12 That is a bigger deal than you might think... Even if you have the demon lord's backing... YOU ARE STILL FAR TOO WEAK!>>

At unbelievable speeds, Arksha immediately dashed over towards Moby in the distance, nothing but his cold, glowing purple eyes identifying him in the thick, orange dust.
