Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

A colossal skeleton titan emerged from the sea wearing a tattered black cloth on its entire body.

The size of the skeleton titan was 100 times bigger than that of a human. 

It could travel miles in one step, it could crush kingdoms under its feet, and it could eat the continents in a bite.

Sophia nudged Emilia and said, "Go fight it."

"What?! No way! It's so big!" 

"Don't you like it big?" Sophia commented.

"Now is not the time to mess around!" Emilia yelled.

"I know, and that's why I asked you to go fight that monster." Sophia placed her hand on Emilia's shoulder and said with a gentle smile on her face: "I believe in you."

"You just want me to die, don't you?!" Emilia exclaimed and backed off some steps.

"I don't. I am being completely serious here. You have to go fight it to save us."

"I am not going, and I have never even fought before. You go! You are a full angel and an S rank, right?!" Emilia dropped everything on Sophia's shoulders.

"I would love to fight it, but I can't use my powers because if I do, then the heavens will take control over me."

What Sophia said was indeed true, and she couldn't afford to do that. However, it might have worked in her favor since the heavens would have to open the gates of the heavens. And once that happened, Nero would annihilate the heavens.

'But… I don't think Zeus alone can handle the entire heavens at once. What if something happens to him and I lose him again?'

It wasn't as though Sophia didn't believe in Nero's powers, but she grew up in the heavens, between the gods and angels. And there is no one better than her who knew how powerful heaven truly was.

Emilia glanced at Asteria and shook her head, thinking, 'I can't have her life in danger.'

"Alright, fine." Emilia let out a weary sigh and turned to Sophia before saying, I will go and fight this ugly titan. But tell me, how do I do that?"

"Zeus and I, we both taught you spells and attacks, right? And Elise trained you for sword fighting. Just use magic attacks one by one and see which one is the most effective," Sophia advised and glanced at the titan.

"Try fire magic first, and only focus on offense. I will handle the defense and protect you," Sophia reassured.

Emilia cracked her fingers like Nero always did whenever he was about to fight. She jumped off the ship, saying, "If I die, then tell Nero I loved him until my last breath."

"Don't raise flags all of a sudden!"

Emilia walked on the sea surface and raised her hand to cast a spell.

"..." Sophia raised her brows and exclaimed inwardly, 'How is she walking on the sea?!'

"Neither Zeus nor I can walk on the sea like that. So how is she doing that?"

Emilia pointed her index finger of the left hand at the skeleton titan and formed a pinch on her right hand. She moved her right hand to her left hand and pulled it back, creating an arrow emitting white fire.

After focusing her mana on the arrow, she shot it on the skeleton's face.

'Wow! She was able to pull it off on her first try.' Sophia was genuinely amazed.

When the arrow was about to hit the skull of the skeleton, it turned around and ate it.

Emilia's face twitched as she fired ten more arrows, but the skeleton ate them all.

"Try melee attacks!" Sophia shouted.

"But I don't have any weapons!" Emilia shouted back.

Steria clenched her fists as she thought, 'I am useless. I am dragging them down.'

She remembered what Nero had told her on their first night together.

'You need the ambition to kill to survive in this world. It's kill or be killed.'

Asteria raised her hand and conjured a red-colored blade made from her demonic powers.

"Lady Emilia!" Asteria yelled and threw the blade at Emilia. 

Emilia ran and jumped to grab the blade, then nodded at Asteria with a wide grin on her face, "Thanks."

Emilia swung the blade and dashed at the titan with a confident smile on her face.

The titan tried to crush Emilia under its feet, but Emilia slid and jumped to the other side before swinging the blade at the titan's leg.

However, the blade didn't do any damage to the titan.

'Demonic powers don't work against curses, so that means this titan is a curse. I can purify it using my—' 

As Emilia was planning her next attack while dodging the constant onslaught of the titan, it fired a magic beam from both its eyes.

Emilia barely dodged it, but the titan kept firing it.

Wherever the magic beam touched, the spot was razed.

Emilia was dodging it while making sure not to elude to the side of the ship because if she did, then the magic beam would hit the ship.

Not only was the titan firing the magic beam at Emilia, but it was also trying to crush her with its feet.

Even when the titan was overwhelming Emilia, she wasn't breaking a sweat. She was dodging the attack swiftly and attacking the monsters nonstop with the demonic blade.

Suddenly, the monster punched Emilia, and she was slammed to the ship.

"Emilia!" Sophia yelled.

At the same time, the titan fired a magic beam from its eyes and mouth.

Sophia immediately increased the barrier radius around the ship and healed Emilia.

"Are you okay?!" Asteria asked with an anxious look on her face.

Emilia got up and nodded, "Yeah."

Asteria gulped down in fear after looking at Emilia. Even Sophia got chills and turned her face away from Emilia.

Emilia jumped down the ship as her eyes shined red. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as the blade in her hand changed its shape and turned into a red halo on her head.

"You pathetic pest. I will crush your bones and send your soul into an endless abyss."
