The sounds of explosions and flashes of light in the distance became more frequent.
The Emperor, in disbelief, watched the battle from afar, his body trembling.
His voice was hoarse as he asked Camelia, "K-Kali is the Demon Lord?"
Camelia held onto the balcony railing and replied, "Yes, Father. Atherion is fighting her now."
"B-But, it can't be..." The Emperor staggered slightly, and Camelia immediately caught and embraced him, helping him stand.
"T-The Empress is... a Demon Lord..." he muttered once again in disbelief.
***
The battle between Atherion and Kali was incredibly tense.
Kali, who had transformed, repeatedly launched energy strikes, only hitting empty spaces.
Meanwhile, Atherion, still in his human form, managed to hit Kali several times with his long-range attacks.
The sounds of Kali's pained and frustrated screams echoed repeatedly in the area.
