"Do you think just because you are a mist, no one can harm you?" 

The emperor of mist felt resistance in his domain, and he couldn't move his mist around.

[Who are you?! And how did you enter my domain?! No one can enter someone else's domain and take control over it!]

"I didn't mean to, but your domain was so fucking weak that I didn't even notice it," Zach scoffed out loud.

[How dare you disrespect—!]

"Shut the fuck up, you lowly demon!" Zach crushed the mist in his hand and forced the emperor of the mist to manifest a physical form.

[How… How is this possible?! How can someone touch me in my mist form?! I am the most powerful general of the demon lord!]

"If someone like you is the most powerful, then I guess I shouldn't even be worried about that massive pet guarding the gates of the inner hell," Zach remarked as he wore his clothes.

[Who are you?! State your name!]

"I don't think I need to introduce myself to a worm who is going to die soon. But I guess you should at least know the name of the man who killed you. Then again, I don't need to say my name, but you should know me as the Dead Demon Child!"

[Impossible! That is just a bedtime story for the demons! There is no way such a thing exists!]

"Well, I am the proof."

The emperor once again turned into a mist, but this time, the color of his mist was not gray or black; it was precisely the same color as the background in the cave.

He had made himself invisible and become one with the cave.

[Ahahaha! What will you do now?!]

As he was a mist, his voice sounded from everywhere in the cave, and it was impossible to know his exact location. Even if Zach knew it, he couldn't do anything unless he had a fistful of mist in his hand.

[I don't know who you are, but you seem to be quite attached to the girl. It's obvious that you care for her, and I am going to use her to destroy you!]

"Show yourself, you coward," Asmosdues yelled while glancing around in a defensive stance.

[I will defile that girl in front of you and break your heart, which would break your soul. Then, I will take control of her body and use it to kill you. You will either defend yourself by killing her with your own hands or run to let her kill you.

Either way, I will win. This is not my first time doing it. I am used to dealing with people like you. And it always brings a smile to my face when I rip them apart, inch by inch. This is what happens when you mess with the great general lord! The Emperor of the Mist!]

"Asmo, close your eyes, cover your eyes, and duck down," Zach ordered.

Without asking any questions, Asmodeus did what Zach asked her to.

[Do you think that won't stop me from entering her body?! I will show you my true strength! Suffer my wrath and—]

CLAP!

Zach clapped his hand together, or so it seemed like, but he intervened his fingers and only kept his middle fingers up.

"Domain… expansion."

Domain expansion was a simple technique to understand yet very complicated to execute. Zach had never used such a technique before, as he only got it after killing the angel.

However, it wasn't his first time seeing that technique. He had seen Deus using it many times, but the last time was against Ikaris— which was also the last time he saw him.

Of course, Zach was never taught of this technique. He had yet to learn and practice domain expansion to master it perfectly. However, Zach knew that casting a domain inside or near someone's domain was the only way to win if the opponent had used the domain expansion.

It was a game to assert dominance, and the more powerful domain would devour the weaker domains. When he used it against the emperor of the mist, he wasn't even sure if it would work or not. But he had to use it.

When Zach cast his domain, he expected something to happen, but nothing happened.

Even the emperor of the mist was left speechless.

[Hah?! What was that? Do you think anyone can use that technique? It requires years of practice, and only those who have achieved transcendence can use it. Someone like you shouldn't even—]

The emperor of mist stopped speaking when he saw Zach smirking at him. At first, he thought Zach was simply smirking, but he soon realized that he could see him.

"You are right. But your logic doesn't apply to me." Zach's eyes glowed golden as he opened his mouth.

[What are you…]

"Bye-bye, you mist of shit!"

The emperor of the mist was sucked into Zach's mouth, including his domain. Zach… had devoured the existence of the emperor of the mist.

"...!" Asmodeus was in shock.

Even though Zach had asked her to close her eyes, and she had done that, she couldn't keep her eyes closed for long. Her brother was fighting one of the strongest beings in the first hell, and there was no way she could just sit and close her eyes.

However, she saw something she shouldn't have.

She immediately rushed to Zach with a concerned look on her face and shouted, "Hurry up! Try to puke!"

"What?" Zach asked with a confused look on his face.

"The mist went into your body! It will kill you from the inside. You have to do something!"

"Relax. Relax." Zach placed his hands on Asmodeus' shoulders and said, "He didn't go inside my body, I ate him."

"What?!" Asmodeus exclaimed.

"My existence is to devour. So when I used domain expansion, everything became edible."

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

"I don't understand either, but it's something related to my powers. I can suck and release anyone's life force by touching them. But when I cast my domain, I don't have to touch anyone; I just have to think, and it will happen.

So I didn't just devour the emperor of the mist, I devoured everything inside the domain except you."
