"[Raise Undead]." Lilith used more mana so it could cover the entire battlefield. A giant red pentagram appeared on the ground and her new minions were born.
"Tiger, Dragon, Dancer, Giant, Hood, Butler, and Shadow." Lilith appointed names for each minion, starting with Yoonho and ending with Jinwoo. They all looked similar to their human visages, except they had pale skin, white hair, and red eyes.
[Tiger - Level 27
Dragon - Level 27
Dancer - Level 27
Giant - Level 26
Hood - Level 26
Butler - Level 35
Shadow - Level 35]
"Begone." Lilith waved her hand and her minion disappeared. She then opened her system and clicked on her class advancement.
[Class Advancement has begun!]
Suddenly, a red portal appeared and sucked Lilith in. The portal spit her out into the inside of a large cathedral.
"What the hell?" She asked as she looked around. She used [Mana Sense] and felt nothing.
[Test has begun! Good luck.]
Suddenly, a magic with the same feel and power as hers appeared out of nowhere.
"What the fuck?!" Lilith was stupefied at a carbon copy of her standing a few feet away. The copy had no emotion on her face and was enshrouded in a permanent shadow.
The copy raised her hand and a blue magic circle appeared. Lilith immediately knew what skill she was using and quickly dodged.
*BOOM*
A [Mana Cannon] ripped through the cathedral and blew the entrance open.
"Tch, this must be why the system capped my level. I'm fighting myself!" Lilith equipped her cursed sword and charged at her copy. Her copy did the exact same thing and when the two met a powerful shockwave destroyed the interior of the cathedral.
Her copy tried kicking Lilith away but Lilith caught her foot and threw her towards the giant statue at the front of the cathedral. She then immediately used her new skill [Ultimate Fire Magic]
"[UFM: Devastating Inferno]!" An orange magic circle appeared in front of Lilith's palm as a gigantic plume of orange fire incinerated everything in its path and melted the statue.
"Oh shit! I have fire immunity, that attack was useless!" Lilith remembered her skill and waited for her clone to exit the destruction. Lilith saw blue electricity crackle and the same skill combination she used to destroy a portion of Seoul was flying towards her.
"[Ruler's Authority]!" A golden light outlined the orb of destruction, stopping its movement. Lilith's eyes tracked her clone and she quickly brought her down with [Ruler's Authority].
"Have a taste of your own medicine! Or is it my own medicine? Who cares?!" Lilith launched the orb of destruction at her stationary clone.
*BOOM*
Lilith was sent flying across an odd landscape. There were giant purple cubes floating around, as a matter of fact, Lilith was on one right now. Lilith recovered and eyed the giant crater.
Her copy was in the middle of it with half of its body destroyed but then a green light outlined its body and all the damage it incurred was healed instantaneously.
"Tch, tenacious bitch." Lilith charged her clone once again. Her clone sidestepped her swing and used [Air Pressure]. Lilith blocked most of the blast with her sword but was still sent reeling across the ground.
Her clone wasted no time and pointed its palm toward the sky. Thick bolts of lightning came down, homing in on Lilith.
"[Mana Reinforcement]!" Lilith used that on her entire body to bolster her defense. She managed to dodge two bolts but a third one hit her square in the chest.
"KAH!" Lilith was sent flying into another flying cube.
[-300 HP]
Her dress was in tatters along with her bleeding from multiple areas on her body. Lilith slowly stood up, anger starting to take over.
"[Maximum Heal], Tiger, Butler, Dancer, and Shadow, come forth." Her servants came to her side waiting for their orders.
"We'll attack her all at once. Don't give her any chance to breathe!" Lilith exclaimed as she and her servants flew from the crater and onto the cube her clone was standing on.
"HAAAAH!" Lilith swung her sword overhead, clashing with her clone. The Dancer came from her left trying to pierce her with her shadow rapier. Her clone was going to cast a spell but Lilith stopped that by using [Ruler's Authority].
Tiger punched her clone in the face sending her into Butler's golden fist.
*BOOM*
He punched her into the ground and Shadow wasted no time heading into the crater to dice her up. Lilith's clone was still being held by [Ruler's Authority] giving him ample opportunity to do so.
Shadow cut off her arms, legs, and made a huge X cut on her chest. Just as he was about to decapitate her, a giant magic circle appeared underneath the both of them. Then a giant plume of fire erupted out of the ground, incinerating Shadow.
Lilith felt her hold on her clone break. She tracked her mana signature and quickly appeared in front of Tiger, who was about to be cut down. Dancer came back into the fray trying to slash her clone from behind.
Her clone used [Air Pressure] to knock her away and Lilith used that opportunity to push her back with her sword. Shadow regenerated and pursued Lilith's clone with Lilith.
The trio fought across the landscape fast enough to become trailing lights. Lilith kicked her clone down to another cube and Shadow was ready to dice her up.
"[Ruler's Authority], [Demonic Lightning], [Decaying Bolt]!" Lilith held her clone so that Shadow could remove her limbs and then casted one of her most lethal spell combinations to date. A giant bolt of black lightning struck her clone, turning her into ash.
"Phew! That was a hard battle! Good job everyone!" Lilith smiled and her servants simply kneeled.
"We live to serve you, Your Highness." They all said in unison.
"Awww, don't make me blush!" Lilith put her hands on her face before she sent them back.
[Test complete!]
[Please choose one of the following: Herald of Death (A), Plague Harbinger (M), Shadow General (M), Empress of Darkness (L)]
Lilith's eyes practically came out of her head at her selections, "A LEGENDARY CLASS? ON TOP OF TWO MASTER ONES? WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?"
[Class advancements are not as simple as they seem. It is an estimate of the future potential of your soul. If your soul couldn't handle the weight of a Legendary class, it would not be on the selection.]
"I don't understand, the future potential of my soul? If that's the case why wasn't I given the option of a legendary class from the beginning if my soul can handle it?"
[Precisely because your soul couldn't handle it. Every time you level up, immense calculations are made to estimate the future potential of your soul. The fact you've made it to your second class advancement so quickly is a deciding factor on why you have a legendary class available.]
"Oh, okay that makes more sense. Well, I obviously choose Empress of Darkness."
[Empress of Darkness (L) chosen.]
[This class advancement will change your race from Demon to Archdemon.]
[Initiating…]
A black cocoon formed around Lilith. All of the shadows in the realm she was in began to be absorbed by the cocoon and even the artificial sun couldn't escape the absorption. Soon, the entire realm was plunged into darkness.
Beneath Lilith's cocoon, a throne began to form out of the darkness. After the throne was made, a building began to rise from the darkness. Then, Lilith emerged from her cocoon.
Her skin was as pale as ever, her hair was so long it touched the ground, on her head were two large horns that formed a crown, and on her back were 3 pairs of large bat wings.

"Wow…my strength has eclipsed the former version of me." Lilith looked down and tightened her fist. She looked around and saw nothing but darkness, confusing her.
"System, where am I?"
[You are in your domain. It is essentially the manifestation of you and your strength.]
"I see. Then given by the vastness of this place, I must be pretty strong right now." Lilith smiled. She exited her domain via [Pentagram of Lucifer] and reappeared in the center of a destroyed city, only this time more hunters and humanitarian aid were there.
At her sudden appearance, the scene went silent. All of the hunters felt like a hand was around their neck, ready to take their lives. While the regular humans could barely breathe in her presence.
"I declare this city mine. All of those who oppose may fight me." Lilith declared. A few of the A and B rank hunters tightened their hands around their weapons.
"HAAAHHH! DIE YOU MONSTER!" An unnamed A-rank charged Lilith with his blade held high. Lilith didn't move a muscle and let his blade touch her skin.
*CLANG*
His blade didn't even scratch her skin in fact, half of his blade was tossed into the sky. Then, in an instant, his head was removed from his body.
"Anybody else?" Lilith asked the silent crowd, "Alright then, leave this place. Tell your government what I've said. If they send any hunters or even the military, I will annihilate this entire country."
The hunters, reporters, and humanitarian aid all fled the scene as quick as they could. Soon, Lilith stood in the middle of her destruction.
