During the Dark Ages

In my hand was a dagger, a holy weapon. The blade gleamed with holy energy that would make any human feel a sense of reverence but to me, it looked like any old dagger except it burns…a lot. Even though I have seen holy weapons before I had never actually held one or had been injured by one, so I had no idea that it would burn so much and that was with me having [Holy Resistance] imagine what it would do to a demon who didn't have the trait. I couldn't wait to find out. I flew out of the mansion and towards Hans who was angrily blasting the second barrier with his flames. As soon as he saw me, he shot a stream of fire towards me and I flew around it. He then jumped into the air with the intention to rip me apart, but I grinned and flew towards him as he swung his hand down. I grabbed his hand and despite holding back his arm with all my strength, I couldn't stop his hand and my chest was split open by five lines of demonic energy, much to Hans' glee. Gritting my teeth, I angrily stabbed him in the chest with the holy dagger causing him to scream in pain as the sound of sizzling flesh filled my ears.

I could see his skin burn where the dagger struck and he hurriedly pulled it out. Blood leaked from the wound, and to my surprise, the wound wasn't regenerating like it should, causing the chest wound to continue to leak blood and become more fatal than it should have been. Hans looked at me hatefully and even with his leaking wound he charged at me.

I blocked his hand and punched him in his chest wound, causing him to reel back in pain. I dashed past him, picked up the dagger and ran out of [Holy Territory] breathing a sigh of relief as the negative effects disappeared. Hans soon angrily followed after me roaring and growling. His aura was way less immense than before, and with his chest wound, he is probably going to bleed to death soon so all I had to do was wait.

I clenched the dagger in my hand tight and I felt it burn even more, but I didn't care as I shot towards him at full speed and he swung his hand at me furiously. I slashed his incoming hand with the dagger causing him to bleed even more. Angrily, he gathered flames in his other hand and I plunged the dagger at his hand piercing through it forcing him to jump back. The dagger's blade was warped and partially melted but it still had it's uses. I dashed towards him and he roared and charged at me as well. He threw a punch at my face and I ducked my head and grabbed his neck and as he opened his mouth to roar again I shoved to partially melted dagger in his mouth. I covered his mouth with an evil grin as I poured a bit of hell fire out of my palm and he swung his fist at me and I swiftly jumped back. I could see him struggle as the holy properties of the dagger caused smoke to rise from his throat.

He fell to his knees scratching his throat trying to get the molten remains of the dagger from his throat. He managed to spit some of it out, along with a lot of blood, but as I said before….the damage was already done.

"I shall end your suffering." I said as I appeared beside him with my hand raised, he didn't even bother to look up or move out of the way and just continued to kneel on the ground, trying to remove the dagger. My hand plunged into his neck effectively decapitating him, giving him a swift and painless end.

'Almost swift and painless.' I thought as I looked at the pool of blood forming from his headless body that still had pieces of the melted dagger in it. A bit of black mist still rose from the pool of demonic blood as the holy and demonic energies continued to clash against each other even after Lord Hans' death.
