Endless Journey: Infinite Realms 283 Behold! The power of our fearsome beast!

Weapons. Weapons everywhere.

That was what Emperor Litch found himself surrounded with when he started attacking the demon.

"Boom!"

At the very moment that he sent out a testing punch at the demon's direction, hundreds of varying weapons appeared all behind the demon.
"That is a cannon that can rip holes through adamantium shields, while that one over there is a sword that can cut at the molecular level." Emperor Litch thought as he stared at some of the weapons behind the demon. "As for the other weapons, even I don't have any idea about them…"
Emperor Litch could not help but frown as he realized that only some of the weapons were recognizable to him.
As for the others? They were just plain alien to him!

"What the hell is that thing?" Emperor Litch thought as he looked at a weapon that was shaped like a glass. "What the hell is that supposed to do? And how about that one? That just looks like a balloon! How the hell could that be a weapon?"

All of these thoughts flashed inside the Emperor's head instantaneously, right before his punch landed on the demon's body.

"Boom!"
But before the Emperor's attack could land on the demon's body the Emperor frowned as he sensed danger coming in front of him.
He tilted his head up just on time to see the weapons behind the demon all activating at once!

"!!!" Even if the Emperor was confident with the toughness of Vessel 969's body, there is still no way that he will just allow his new body to get hit by this many weapons!

"Scatter!"

Emperor Litch then opened his hands as he let out his own power.

"Hong!"
A shapeless ripple erupted out of the Emperor's hand, which proceeded to block all of the weapons head-on.
Not only that, but a blue shockwave came out of the collision, which started to disintegrate the weapons.
After doing this, the Emperor did not waste any time as he attacked the demon once more.

This time around, he pointed his finger at the demon as he conjured a lightning strike straight towards the demon's heart.
Combined with this lightning was a yellow glow, which gave off an extremely dangerous vibe.

"Woosh!"
But before this yellow lightning could land on its target, the demon suddenly disappeared, as his body appeared at a spot 10 kilometers away from Emperor Litch.

All the weapons behind the demon all disappeared too, making Emperor Litch look at the Emperor in surprise.

"So you have fierce firepower and exceptional dodging skills. This is interesting." Emperor Litch thought to himself as he dispelled his yellow lightning. "I will have so much fun fighting with you…"
The entirety of this clash happened in an instant, making its spectators see nothing but shockwaves.
"Woosh."
The Emperor then disappeared on the spot, reappearing in front of the demon.

"Boom!"

This time, weapons once again appeared behind the demon, but the weapons that appeared were now more numerous and more lethal-looking!

Just by looking at these new weapons was enough to make the Emperor sweat.
"So you have access to multitudes of weapons, which you can use on countless scenarios." Emperor Litch thought to himself as he used his gravity waves to deflect the weapon's attacks. "With the way that you can instantly summon your weapons, there is a high chance that weapon summoning is your original ability…"
Once he had successfully deflected the attack of the weapons, Emperor Litch ended his idle thoughts as he proceeded to counterattack the demon once more.
"Skroom!"
At the moment that Emperor Litch attacked, the demon suddenly manifested a shield on his hands, which he used to block the grey lightning that the Emperor just fired.
The demon then threw a golden lance towards Emperor Litch, forcing the Emperor to dodge the lance immediately.

"Swish…"
The Emperor felt his skin getting cold as the lance passed by him. He suddenly had the feeling that if the lance hit his body, he could have suffered massive injuries!

After dodging the golden lance, Emperor Litch suppressed the cold feeling inside him as he fired off another attack at the demon's direction.

But similar to what happened in their first clash, the demon disappeared once more, this time reappearing on a spot that was 7 kilometers away from the Emperor.
"…"
Just like the 1st clash, their 2nd clash only happened at an instant too.

"Oh, so you want to do it this way huh. Hmph, if this is the case, then I shall entertain this way of combat!" Emperor Litch thought as his eyes narrowed imperceptibly. "You want to play this way? Heh, let's see whose body will give up first!"
Emperor Litch then used his power to catch up to the demon, which started their 3rd clash.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

What followed after that were more clashes between the demon and the Emperor, with each clash consisting of the demon and the Emperor attacking and defending, before the demon teleports away with the Emperor using his power to chase the demon.
Each clash released more and more shockwaves into the air, which started to affect the Red Moon.

By the time that Emperor Litch and the demon started their 53rd clash, the whole Red Moon trembled as it split itself into two!

"…"

Both the demon and the Emperor only looked at what happened in a second before they resumed fighting again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As their clashes went on, small injuries started to appear on both the demon and the Emperor's bodies, although these injuries were so minor that they paid to attention to them.

"Come on! When will you stop teleporting away!" Emperor Litch thought angrily as he saw the demon teleporting away again, which ended their 79th clash. "This is so irritating already!"

The Emperor let out a small sigh as he reappeared in front of the demon for the 79th time.
"Skree!"
As he fired off his newest attack at the demon, Emperor Litch frowned as he thought,
"You heathen heretic! You are only using your weapons summoning ability to fight me! I am sure that you still have more powers that you can use against me! Where the hell are those powers! Use them on me now, or our fight might start to get boring!"
*************
More clashes later, and Emperor Litch realized that the demon was seemingly waiting for something else to happen.
That could be the only explanation on why he, a powerful demon was currently holding back right now.

"You insufferarble heathen…." Emperor Litch's vision began to turn red as he realized that this demon had been using him to just wait for something else. "You think that staying idle like this will help you out? Hmph, in front of me, the glorious Emperor, your waiting tactics are nothing!"
"Fuu…"
While still keeping a portion of his focus on the nearby Demonic Tower, Emperor Litch let out a deep breath as he activated an ability that was originally his.

Because he had just recently woken up after the possession, Emperor Litch still found it hard to use most of his original abilities.
The only ones that he can use now were limited, like his aura, which he used to subjugate Traveler Ray and his allies.
Of course the Emperor knew that with the Demon's willpower, his aura won't be of any effect to him.
Because of that, Emperor Litch decided to use another one of his original abilities.

The Emperor acknowledges the strength of Vessel 969's power, but right now, he needed to use an ability that is much more domineering!

"Hong!"
Golden light began to gather on the Emperor's right hand, which then coalesced to form a golden sword.

The sword then let out a resplendent glow as it grew in size.

Countless precious gemstones then appeared at the hilt of the sword, while undecipherable words materialized at the sword's blade.
"Tak tak tak tak tak tak!"

A cry of a bird suddenly manifested out of the sword, as a silhouette of a massive bird appeared behind the Emperor.
The sudden appearance of this sword and the bird's silhouette halted their clash for a moment, as the demon stared intently at the bird's silhouette.
Emperor Litch smiled as he saw the way that the demon stared at his bird, making him think that the demon must be terrified right now.
"You heathen demon. Your plan of holding back against me has backfired. It's too late for you already.! Emperor Litch said as he pointed his golden sword at the demon's face. "I already channeled the power of the Undying Empire's most fearsome beast! Behold! The power of our Emprie's Symbol! Under the gaze of this bird, none shall survive! Its majestic body will be the last thing that you will see before you die. So say your prayers to your god, if you have any, because this will be your las-"

"Is that a chicken?" Instead of sounding scared or terrified, the demon only sounded plainly curious as he observed the bird's silhouette behind Emperor Litch. "Wait, I don't need to ask that anymore. That is definitely a chicken."
"Oi, why do you sound like that? This is the national symbol of our Undying Empire! You should be trembling in fear now!"

Emperor Litch was confused as he saw the demon's reaction.

Didn't this demon know that in his Undying Empire, chickens are one of the most dangerous beings that there is?

It was because of these chickens that Emperor Litch succeeded on conquering many planets, and it was also because of these chickens that he managed to subjugate anyone under his favor.
It was also through these chickens that Emperor Litch managed to channel one of his strongest sword arts, which made him unrivalled throughout countless generations!

All of these amazing things were provided to him by the chickens, and yet, this guy dares to mock them?
"Holy s**t! That's really a chicken! Hahahaha! I can't believe this!" To the Emperor's consternation he saw the demon laughing as they resumed their clash. "Someone like you actually treats chicken this way? Are you f**king kidding me? Hahahaha! Is that sword of yours related to chickens? What do you call that sword? The Sword of Clucking Chickens?"

"Shut your mouth you bastard!" Emperor Litch as his mind started to snap. "Disrespecting our national symbol warrants an instant death penalty!"

Emperor Litch then swung his golden sword towards the demon, which was accompanied by more cries from the chicken behind him.

"Tak tak tak tak tak tak!"
The Emperor's golden sword cleaved cleanly through all the weapons that the demon summoned, destroying them completely.
The Emperor then managed to wound the demon as his golden sword managed to make a cut on the demon's left arm.

"I see. Your eyes have been clouded by the fogginess of your life. You truly are a pitiful person." Emperor Litch said as he suppressed the rage inside him. He then stared at the largest wound that he just made as his eyes narrowed. "But just like what I said earlier, you just committed a grave offense against our Empire, which warrants a death penalty!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The demon and the Emperor then resumed their clashes, but this time around, it was the Emperor who held the upper hand.
"Tak tak tak tak tak tak!"
He destroyed all the weapons that the demon summoned with his golden sword, while also inflicting deeper and deeper injuries on the demon.
As their fights went on, the Emperor began to laugh inwardly as he realized that he was about to win.

And this elated feeling of him just increased as he and the demon felt the arrival of another presence.

"Wind Spear: Torrential Tornado!"

"Swoosh!"

A massive tornado, which was large enough to swallow a country whole, suddenly appeared above the demon and the Emperor.

This tornado then barreled towards the demon, who was too preoccupied with Emperor Litch.

"Boom!" The demon was hit by the tornado head-on, which resulted in him being blasted back towards the ground.

The tornado did not fade after that, as it pursued the crashed demon.
As he saw this sudden change of events, the only thing that the Emperor did was look up to see the one who made this attack.

There, just above Emperor Litch, was a spear-wielding kimono woman with angel wings. Her face was twisted with rage as she stared at the demon, while her spear was letting out some steam.

The Emperor smiled, as he remembered that this was the injured woman that he saw earlier.
With the observations that Emperor Litch made earlier, he was sure that this woman and the demon had a fight earlier, which resulted on the woman getting beaten up to the point of almost dying.
There was no doubt about it. This woman must be itching to kill the demon right now!

"You may seem like a solo type to me, but it you want, we can work together in order to kill that demon." Emperor Litch confidently said as he placed his hands on his hips, with his golden sword glowing brilliantly beside him. "I am sure that with our powers, we can end that blasted demon's lif-"

"Holy molly. Is that a chicken behind you?"

"!*(&(*$&*)!" And just like that, the Emperor found himself back to square one again.
