Forsaken By The Gods, I Made A Contract With the Demon King

A sickly green aura erupted from Levi's body, twisting and warping the air around him. It was even boosted slightly by the same ability of Noir. Of course, Noir alone was nowhere near strong enough to deal any kind of damage to the monstrous bird but its ability successfully complimented Levi's.

Both lunacy abilities merged and the aura of Lunacy - passed over the monstrous bird.

The effect was immediate. It seemed like the black wings were still unable to resist the mind attacks - maybe it was due to the corruption that the Goddess spoke of - but Levi was thankful nonetheless.

The lesser Black Wings faltered as the green aura passed over them, their black wing movements becoming erratic, uncoordinated. They screeched and flailed, as if driven mad by the very presence of his power.

Levi didn't wait.

He tore into the flock of Black wings, his claws slicing through flesh and bone with savage precision. Blood splattered across his face, mixing with the sweat and dirt that covered him.

He fought like a man possessed, like a demon unleashed.

But unfortunately, the Fallen Rank Black Wing didn't falter longer.

If anything, it seemed to be provoked in the presence of Levi's Lunacy.

At the same time, its own aura flared to life, a deep, pulsing crimson that clashed violently with Levi's green [Lunacy].

The Black Wing has used its own Lunacy!

The two auras collided, sending waves of chaotic energy rippling through the battlefield, distorting reality itself/

Levi's mind strained under the pressure, the whispers of madness growing louder, more insistent. But he pushed back, fighting for control. He couldn't lose himself. Not here.

But the good thing was even the phantom flock was affected by the Monstrous bird's power, they couldn't move at all under the pressure of Levi's and the bird's Lunacy.

The Black Wing however lunged at him once more.

Levi dodged to the side, his mind racing.

He couldn't defeat it with brute strength. He needed a plan.

And then, like a flicker of light in the darkness, an idea took shape.

Levi let out a bloodied grin, goading the beast with a taunting glare. "Come on, you overgrown crow!" he spat, blood trailing down his chin. "Is that the best you've got?"

The Black Wing screeched in fury, its aura flaring even brighter as if it understood him. It reared back, preparing to unleash its full might.

Levi's heart pounded in his chest as the creature dove at him, its talons aimed at his throat.

He knew this was it.

His only chance. With a roar of defiance, he threw himself into the fray, his body twisting in mid-air as the two forces collided in a final, brutal exchange.

In that movement when he collided with the black wings - something amazing happened!

The Black wing's talons passed through his body as if it was just an illusion!

There was no resistance and the bird passed through the projection of Levi that he had created using half of his essence!

The monstrous bird's eyes widened.

But before it could do something- the real Levi appeared behind it.

Blood filled the air as Levi's claws sank deep into the Black Wing's skull

And then the world erupted into a maelstrom of chaos.

With a deafening screech, the Fallen Rank Black Wing descended upon Levi, its immense form casting an ominous shadow over the twisted landscape. The air was filled with the rancid stench of fear and fury as the massive creature's talons tore through the air, barely missing Levi's head.

Although it wasn't easy, Levi's enhanced reflexes, granted by his [Demonic Transformation], allowed him to dodge the oncoming assault.

He rolled to the side, feeling the rush of displaced air as the talons raked the ground where he had been moments before.

Dust and debris exploded around him, adding to the cacophony of the battle.

"Noir!" Levi shouted, his voice barely audible over the din of combat.

Noir, the small black bird now flying in the sky, let out a shrill cry. Its eyes, void of any human-like intelligence, glared menacingly as it took flight. The bird's feathers bristled with raw, primal aggression as it launched itself into the fray.

As it moved, a dozen of spectral ravens, spawned from Noir's shadowy form, surged forward - their target was the wound that Levi had delivered!

Like bullets that were fired out of a barrel, the phantom flock collided with the monstrous bird's head - digging deeper into its skull!

Though Phantom Flock was only of dormant rank and couldn't possibly deal any proper damage to the Fallen rank monster - they could increase the severity of the damage dealt by Levi.

And that indeed worked!

The Fallen rank monstrous let out a painful roar!

It tried to dodge moving its head but its enormous body worked against it as the phantom flock of Noir changed directions to collide with its skull.

One after another.

The phantom flock hit the skull and dissipated into essence.

The movement of the collision was so painful that the Lord of Dark Skies couldn't even flap its wing to rise to the skies.

Suddenly, the Fallen Rank Black Wing's multiple eyes locked onto Levi, who was now at a distance, not wanting to get caught up in its thrashing. It looked at him with a predatory intensity and its eyes glowed with pure hate.

The creature's beak opened wide, emitting a low, menacing growl that reverberated through the air.

Levi, still crouched and ready, activated Lunacy on himself. His senses expanded, and time seemed to stretch as his perception sharpened. He could see every minute movement of the Vile Rank Black Wing, every twitch of its talons, and the slow, deliberate beat of its wings.

The creature's beak snapped shut, missing Levi by inches as he ducked and rolled away. He retaliated with a series of rapid, clawed strikes, slashing at the Black Wing's formidable hide. The claws, sharpened by his demonic transformation, raked across the beast's feathers, but the creature's hide proved remarkably resilient.

"This damn bird"

Levi cursed as he slid down the bird appearing on the other side.
