Valentina and Erica came from the opposite direction, using the abandoned factory as cover as they quickly sneaked into the God's Dimension as well.
With determination written across their faces, they kept a safe distance, making sure no one would notice them until the fight would start.
Meanwhile, Akira and Doni stood in front of the factory. "You wait outside and cut off all her exits," Akira ordered Doni; without waiting for his reply, he entered the warehouse.
Doni sighed and sat down on the ground with his sword in hand. As he stared at the factory, Akira had just entered.
"Let's see how well you fight," he muttered, a grin on his face. The more promise Akira showed right now, the more entertaining the following years of sparring would be.
Inside the factory, Akira saw Freya seated on her chariot, with the two large cats lying sprawled on the ground in front of her.
"So you've come. Don't come crying to me that it's unfair. I gave you the chance to leave," she nonchalantly said.
Akira scoffed, "Sure, sure. Now let's get down to it. I have somewhere I need to be."
After saying that, his eyes turned crimson once more, and a massive ice cage appeared around the factory. "No escaping for you this time, bitch!" Akira growled, frustration seeping into his voice.
Freya felt the atmosphere change, the temperature dropping to absolute zero as Akira glared at her. She kept up her strong front, staying seated with a smug look on her face.
But she quickly summoned the hundreds of thousands of valkyries once more, and they appeared inside and outside the factory, all of them glaring at Akira.
He also once more summoned his demonic army from hell, making sure to split up the four demon leaders evenly.
As soon as they stepped out of the demonic gates, all the demons looked at the valkyries with smiles on their faces.
A massive brawl broke out immediately while Akira and Freya just kept staring at one another; the demons and valkyries were fighting to the death.
As one demon after the other was cut in half with blood splattering everywhere, new demons kept flowing out of the gates with huge grins on their faces instead of trembling or retreating.
"Hahahaha, now this is it, the thrill that I've been looking for!" Akira heard one of the four leaders scream while cleaving apart hundreds of valkyries in a single strike.
"It seems he's having fun," Akira said, taunting Freya, whose army of valkyries was getting pushed back little by little by the hundreds of thousands of demons that kept flowing out of the gates.
Freya glared at Akira, uncertain how his ability worked. 'Does he have an infinite supply of demons? No, that's impossible!' She thought, looking around panicked.
Without hesitation, Akira threw a hellfire spear straight at Freya's head when he saw her looking around.
The sizzling metal echoed through the factory. Freya parried the spear with her sword, but the spear's heat melted it.
"How dare you!" She growled, no longer holding anything back. She slowly got up from the chariot and, with a nasty smile, sent the cats to the back of the factory.
Akira raised an eyebrow but didn't mind it. Keeping his eyes glued to Freya, he couldn't miss any opportunity; he wanted to finish her off as fast as possible, but she was still a god.
So he had to be careful, or he could be the one dying, so he decided to opt for a more careful approach instead of going all out at the start.
He surrounded himself in a thick layer of water about a meter thick and immediately felt his whole body feel lighter and more energetic.
Freya, on the other hand, discarded her melted sword and was holding another sword right now. With a single slash of the sword, hundreds of runes appeared throughout the factory, all of them fiery red in color.
With a grin, they all exploded at the same time, as terrifying flames spread throughout the whole factory.
Which crumbled like it was made out of paper, with a smirk she jumped up trying to widen the distance between herself and him.
Only to slam into the ice wall Akira had formed around the factory right after entering.
"What? How is that possible?" She exclaimed, alarmed, no ice should have been able to hurt her fire spell.
It was one of her most destructive spells in her repertoire, but the ice didn't even seem fazed. Akira smiled at her.
"Can't have you escape again, you know," he casually stated, throwing another hellfire spear straight at her head.
Freya dodged the flying spear with ease only to see it evaporate right before crashing into the ice wall right behind her.
His control over his abilities had improved by leaps and bounds with every battle he fought; she was in disbelief at how much he had improved in just a couple of days.
Looking around, she saw her valkyries struggling to keep up with his demonic army, and while dodging the hellfire spears Akira was leisurely hurling at her, she swung her sword a couple of times as a rainbow rune appeared above each valkyrie.
And just like that, the tides started slowly turning around, the valkyries started pushing back the demonic forces, evening out the battlefield once more.
"Impressive, but how long can you keep that up?" Akira smugly stated, while still throwing spear after spear, sometimes mixing in an arrow or even a sharp stone formed from hellfire or ice.
As Freya nonchalantly kept dodging all of them, she glared at him. "Stop playing around and get serious," she demanded.
Akira was clearly holding back for some reason; she felt very uncomfortable, like she was being played by a mere mortal.
Akira just shrugged, "Alright, but only because you asked. So don't come complaining to me about it."
Then the atmosphere shifted once more, and one last demonic gate appeared high in the sky, this gate looking even more sinister than the rest, and even the onlooking Doni felt it.
This was no ordinary demon that would come but a true monster.
