Vali shrugged off his partners comment. Erebus bragged about having the higher kill count, but even so it felt like Val was gaining much more than Erebus was out of this. Either that, or he was just far more fun for the demons to play with. Either way, this wasn't his fight. The Silver Titan flew through the air towards his opponent and as he did so lifted his arms to activate a spell that would increase his strength. Although the Viking had become so strong that a buffing technique that weak would virtually have no effect, he was impatient to end this fight. He then swung his arm to slice his neck only for the man to dodge and throw his shadowy knee into the young Lord. Val wasted no time in swinging his fist, landing a blow to the leader's face. It was time to end this. As the leader began to fall to the ground, Val lifted his arm. "You cannot fool me, demon. My mother worships only the Satri gods...it is impossible for her to be in your world." Once again he was using a the technique of Judgement. Tyr, the god he most looked to these days, would lend the half-elf his power. A magic circle appeared above the fallen demon leader. In his shadowy form he glared at Val, angry and annoyed at how this battle had been going.

"My Lord!" The Emissary glanced behind the demon and there he saw his trusted two warriors. The same two warriors that had been with him in Astera since he arrived. The were on their horses, looking to their leader before quickly realizing what was happening.  As Vali landed, the boy demon suddenly began to do something...strange. In seconds he managed to devour the leader, combining their strengths. There between Erebus and Vali, exactly 15 meters apart from each of them a giant monster stood. Erebus was the first of the two to comment stating the obvious thus casing the new beastly creature to turn towards Vali. With a smirk the noble man began, "Odin, Alfather, accept this sacrifice, for I know that every passing day you keep me in your embrace. This sacrifice I give to you for all that you have done." With both blue and yellow bolts of magical energy coursing around his body, he closed his eyes for a split moment. By pouring some of his own Mana into his armer, he pushed himself off of the ground and moved to his opponent in less than a second. His dagger was drown, and as he moved at remarkable speeds he sliced his dagger across the creatures neck. Stopping only when he stood beside Erebus.

With only one blow the Viking was able to kill the creature. This fight was longer than either of them had thought it would be. With one simple move he ended it. With the black blood upon his blade he wiped his face, absorbing every blessing Odin would give for such a mighty sacrifice. "Haha...HAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed in relief. The creatures body fell shortly after, dissipating in the breezes. "That makes three kills for me." Perhaps this entire encounter has cause Vali to lose his mind...or perhaps it had awakened something in him...something he tried so hard to run away from.  "My Lord, are you alright?" His warrior asked. Val turned to him with a smirk. "I have never been better. How come you two always show up when I do not need you?" "Well, M'lord, you always disappear..." Val nodded. His attitude seemed to change almost completely, it was unusual.

"Erebus..." he faced his ally. "I believe I know why our paths are aligned, thank you." He smirked. "I will see you around, aye?" There was so much more behind his words. Erebus was probably smart enough to realize that a man like Vali always had an eye out for messages from the gods. It may have been clear enough that Vali interpreted this entire scene as an Omen..an Omen that could have a very very dangerous impact on Fiore and the entire world. With no other words, Vali hopped on his horse and left with his men almost as if he wasn't really leaving Erebus.
