Chapter 246: Inner Demon: Depression vs Twilight Official: Lan (Final)

Currently, my body was tearing at Lan with brute force, forcing him to regenerate his limbs while my body instantly began to get used to his invisible dangerous air swipes. 

My body obviously learned from getting hit multiple times, and one time it even tore my entire waist and below off, but my body instantly fixed that with Ichimei, and so were the other wounds. 

"What do you mean, power of friendship?" 

"Oh, that was something I wanted to say after digging through some of your memories… But, I guess it's kind of like the power of friendship as we need to work together," My inner demon says with a slimy smile. 

I internally cringed before agreeing reluctantly. 

Power of friendship, my ass... I still have to be wary; otherwise, this woman is probably going to take my body... It's just a feeling. 

"You know I can hear you, right?"

tsk

"Piss off," I mutter before grabbing my inner demon's hand, which she reached out towards me. 

"Now, we'll have to destroy this floor. And even though it will regenerate instantly, we should be able to slip through, and then we'll be back in our body," My inner demon says before summoning [Anapofeyktos Thanatos] right in front of me. 

Do my soul equipment not count as part of the system? 

After a second of hesitation, I do the same thing as well before we both activate all our buffs as we considered each other an ally… regretfully.

Then we activated [Apocolyptic Weapon Swing] before slamming our scythes into the floor below. 

The first blow did nothing until my inner demon said, 

"Focus on one point," 

So I followed her directions and slammed my scythe once more into the same spot she hit, causing a massive crack to form in the floor below us. 

The floor then shattered for a split second before regenerating, but we had already dropped through into a long abyss that slowly drained away our consciousness… or should I say it made us really, really sleepy. 

… 

Suddenly, I awoke back in my body, but my body continued to move on its own. 

I thought it was the effect of [Monster of Monsters Body], but after thinking for a few seconds, I realized my inner demon had taken advantage of the situation to take over my body. 

"Girl, I'll show you how to use your [Divinity Domain]," My own body mutters. 

[Divinity Domain (.05/100)]

[Forbidden Magic: ******]

Two skills activated at once and mixed with my [Monster of Monsters Body], large amounts of mana was drained from my body, causing my inner demon to take a knee with my body before a clear mist began to spread all over us. 

The air around my body vibrated, and my inner demon couldn't contain her excitement as it even began to influence my mind. 

"Very nice," My body mutters as my hair turned a dark red, my clothes turned into long baggy red robes, my eyes were now completely black, and finally, two large demonic horns sprouted from the top of my head. 

Of course, those demonic horns ended up breaking the mask that my inner demon placed on my face. 

'Now, I'll show you how to wield this power,' My inner demon mutters before un-summoning both soul weapons and creating a large lance made from the dark red aura that emitted from me. 

"Devour," My body mutters, causing the tip of my lance that my body held to turn into a massive pair of jaws that seemed to be ripped straight from a dinosaur. 

The long dark red handle then curled around my body's right arm as if it was alive. 

"W-what the hell are you!" Lan shouts, falling onto his butt in fear as my aura takes chunks out of his body.

But even when he regenerated the missing pieces with [Healing Magic], my aura would swoop up another piece of his body as we only got closer and closer. 

A sadistic smile was clearly plastered on my face, and I could feel the eyes of worry and fear coming from the sidelines. 

"Kronos," My inner demon mutters, causing the tip of the lance, which took the form of a jaw, to expand greatly until it opened its jaws. 

"N-n-n-n-n-n-no! S-save me! Anybody!" Lan shouted in fear as the solidified dark jaws of a dinosaur with dark red scales had eaten his entire body, not even leaving a drop of blood left. 

My inner demon licked her lips as a few notifications appeared.

"Hmmmmm… I've never tried combining so many types of magic at once," My inner demon mutters before using [Assimilation]. 

[Wind Magic] + [Water Magic] + [Fire Magic] + [Earth Magic] + [Healing Magic] = [Godly Mana Control] 

"I'll save [Abyss Magic] as this is the good shit," My inner demon mutters before walking over to the sideliners, who took a step back in fear. 

BACK THE HELL OFF! I SWEAR IF YOU TOUCH THEM, THEN I'LL- 

"Then you'll what?" My inner demon says with a sadistic smile that was clearly for me rather than the people in front of me. 

"Y-you aren't Arpious. Who the hell are you?" Aika asks, taking a step back as the overwhelming pressure my inner demon radiated was enough for anybody to be scared. 

On the other hand, my inner demon contained the devouring aura closely to my body, so for now, they were safe. 

"What do you mean? I'm Arpious," My inner demon says. 

NO, YOU AREN'T! SHUT THE HELL UP AND GIVE MY BODY BACK! 

I was seething in anger, but I couldn't do anything as my inner demon continued to pressure my wives, knights, and old friends. 

"N-no, you're not. I know Arpious the best, and I know you are definitely not her," Kumo responds, slightly stepping back in fear as well. 

"Nah, I am Arpious. I'm just another side that you didn't care to see… Do you know how many others there are of me… Do you want me to explain in detail how we were created and what we went through?" My inner demon asks, making my heart sink. 

"W-what are you talking about! The normal Arpious would've expressed all her feelings-" 

"Well, what if there were special circumstances?" My inner demon cuts off Kumo before deactivating [Divinity Domain].

"What special circumstances?" Reyna asks, stepping forward causing everybody else to gain just a little bit more confidence. 

"Should I say?" My inner demon mutters, tapping her chin while clearly taunting everybody present but especially me, who was shouting for her to stop. 

Stop… just stop… 

"The other Arpious you've always been talking to is currently begging me not to say it… what should I do," My inner demon mutters once again. 

"*sigh*... This is stupid. Just give her body back," Homura says. 

"Now, now. No need to be so angry… Shouldn't you be accepting of everything your wife has to offer," My inner demon says with a smug face. 

"I'll be accepting, but if it's something bad like you, then I'll fix it," Homura responds before slapping the inner demons face. 

"You bitch," My inner demon says before reaching out for Homura's neck and grabbing it. 

STOP! LET GO, YOU FUCK! 

No matter how much I shouted, my inner demon wouldn't listen as she pressed down onto Homura's throat while everybody around us tried to tear my body off. 

"Ah, shit-" My inner demon mutters before both of our visions went black, and our consciousnesses fell asleep. 

… 

"*gasp* HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF HUFF," 

I suddenly woke up on the battlefield, and it looked as if not only a minute had passed since we both blacked out. 

Vines tied down my body, and when I glanced at my wives, I noticed that they were glaring at me but had slight suspicion gloss over them. 

"It's fine. She's gone," I respond, but it seems I didn't convince my wives. 

After sighing once, I ripped my limbs out of the tied vines, not even shocking Treyni as my old friends came rushing over to pin me down against the dirty ground.

Thank god she's okay… 

"What can I do to prove that it's the real me," I ask everybody present and didn't resist at all because I didn't have much strength in the first place.
