"You never said you were THAT good." Leroy finally said, bringing up the fight.
"You never asked. I battled for King Arthur. What did you expect?" I asked.
"Well some of the people, like Vance for instance came from new ages as well, you woke up quite late. Later than usual, we've never seen a demon take as long as you had to wake up after dying." He explained.
I assumed that had something to do with God, his little talk probably took a good chunk amount away from me being awake here in Hell. Leroy had explained the time difference between Hell and Earth, but never really mentioned if Heaven was also different from not only Earth but Hell as well.
"Interesting, so what time did Vance come from?" I asked.
"Well he came from the year the mortals call 2000. Which was 1,500 years after King Arthur's time." He explained.
My eyes widened.
"What year are the mortals on now?" I asked.
"Should be 3045." He stated.
I shook my head.
"Well apparently the fighting style has gotten worse, not better." I stated, Leroy nodded.
God never told me the name of the demon who was helping me in this mission he'd given me. Whoever they were, they hadn't shown themselves.
***Lilith POV***
I had become a demon long ago. I was once a feirce woman, though my time didn't approve of women fighting, I did. Desgised as a man, they really were stupid creatures sometimes.
Though once they found out. I was beheaded, all the victories I had led my whole army to didn't amount to shit once they found out that I was truly a women.
They still held the ideal that women were only good for rearing children like breeding cattle, cooking the food and cleaning the house like some personal maid that worked for free.
Not me, I didn't want a boring housewife life, I wanted an adventure, where adrenaline ran high, the thought of death almost scaring the piss out of you. THAT was what a soldier was.
The swing of your blades slicing into the enemies flesh as their blood leaked from their bodies, was amazing, the feel of taking someones life in just a matter of mere minutes was rushing.
Now I'm here, serving behind yet another man who is just as stupid as the mortals on Earth. Convinced that I, as a woman, have no place on the battlefield no matter how many times I beat him in training.
I was the one that leaked Lucifer's plan to God, and though at first when I met Lucifer, I fell almost instantly for him. I had slept with him multipule times.
He whispered false promises to me, now I bareley look in his direction, I refuse to touch him.
He takes women in his bedroom of course, multiple ones sometimes, so he cheats. These women though, know what is in store for them, they go in and sometimes they don't come out.
The ones that do come out, never come back. They always tell me sorry, I only halfway blame them, they can't defy their king if they want to continue living as a demon.
"Lilith. I have news." A soldier says from behind me.
"What is it?" I ask, intrigued.
"There was a new demon who arrived today. He beat Vance." He states, my brow raises.
"That is hardly anything to take not of, I beat Vance. Vance may have been undefeaded umong the soldiers but not the top ranks. That would be me. Set a match with him. What is this demons name?" I order.
"Meliodas your higness." He bows as he leaves.
Ahhhh so this is who you sent? Let's see if you chose correctly.
God.
A little while later, the arena was filled with demons wanting to see the match, seems like word spread fast.
A sinister smile played on my lips, I had my light armor on today and held a wooden sword and a light wooden shield, since we were just sparing, no need for metal.
The "armor" wasn't even armor, it was just a sports bra, and some athetic shorts that stopped mid thigh. I bunched my long brown hair into a bun and clipped it to my head with a hair clip.
Then I heard the announcer.
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TO THIS WONDERFUL CHALLENGE LAID OUT TO YOU BY LILITH, PLEASE WELCOME HER TO THE ARENA!
I strutted onto the arena, waving a couple times in different directions, smiling as I stopped on my side of the center circle the announcer came on again.
AND HERE IS THE ONE SHE CHALLENGED, HE THRUSTED VANCE OFF THE JNDEFEATED STREAK AND IS NEW TO THESE PARTS. PLEASE WELCOME, MELIODAS!
The crowd booed as Meliodas waled to the center, and I was trown off by how hot this man was, my heartbeat quickened, and as he stopped on his side of the circle holding his own wooden sword and shield, our eyes met.
There was no greater feeling of love that I had ever felt in my whole lifetime in both human and demon lives, even the love I had felt towards Lucifer had dulled in comparison to what I had just felt for Meliodas.
Wow God. Well played.
We both got into our ready stance, almost the exact same stance, and then the announcer came one final time.
LET THE MATCH BEGIN!
I lurched forward, letting my momentum and speed be my ally, he blocked my swords strike at his waist with his own sword, causing me to faulter back.
As I staggered, he swung his sword low at my waist, I barely blocked in time with my shield.
I stepped back a few more paces as he circled me, panting already, usually I get them within a couple minutes but he has lasted past that.
I lunged again, going for his feet, as I slid on the ground, I stuck my leg with his and tried to take his feet out from underneath him.
I underestimated his footing, as he flipped over me, he managed to strike my shoulder with his wooden sword.
The pain from the strike spread through my left shoulder and I hissed in pain, clutching it, but I didn't relent.
He discarded his shield, this time lunging for me, spinning around twice before he jumped and swung his sword down straight for my face, I went to block with my shield.
I did successfully block, but the shield broke, causing it to splinter and the sword hit my arm as a result, breaking it. Luckily for me demons heal rather quickly.
The sound of the cracks from both the shield and my arm signaled the end of the match and my defeat. I cradled my arm and felt strong hands engulf my body and lift me.
I wiggled around, and grunted my disapproval.
"I can walk you know?" I protested.
"Oh I know." A deep, sexy, manly voice said, and as I looked up, I got a real good close look at Meliodas.
He's even more sexy up close… uuuuugh, stupid feelings.
