Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Nero grabbed the man's neck and tossed him up through the walls and ceilings. 

The man tripped, bumped into monsters, triggered traps, was getting hit by Nero's mana-balls, collided with the walls, but he stayed on his word and didn't disappear or hide using his powers. 

Nero kicked the man in the chest, and he flew through the ceilings and ended up in the chamber where they started the fight.

Annoyed, Nero created one more concentrated mana-ball, but it was much bigger than the other ones. He pressed it between his palm and made its size smaller. Then, instead of throwing it, he crushed the ball in his fists.

Confused, the man stood still in silence, waiting for something to happen, but nothing happened.

"What did you do?" The man asked.

"Nothing," Nero replied with a shrug.

Nero truly did nothing, but the mana-ball he created earlier was now residing within his palms.

If he touched anything, the power of the mana ball would instantly disintegrate the object. But if he touched an inanimate object, the power would flow through it.

"How long do you intend to fight?" The man asked curiously.

"Until you die?"

"That's never going to happen, kid. You may be strong, stronger than me or… anyone. But you can't always win."

"Oh? Then why do you look so out of breath?" Nero sneered.

"You can win against something, but you can't truly win; you won't feel satisfied," the man asserted in a solemn voice.

The last person Nero killed was Thor; however, he was simply messing around with him because he acted cocky.

When Nero killed Darius, he didn't feel satisfied; his rage and hunger didn't vanish. Nero wanted to give Darius an unimaginable and painful death, full of suffering. But Nero still didn't feel satisfied.

"What does it matter?" Nero argued. "If they are dead, then they are dead. Satisfaction doesn't matter."

"Is that so?" The man pointed his finger at Nero's face and uttered, "Then why are you making that look on your face?"

"Because I haven't killed you yet."

Nero dashed at the man while firing different types of mana-ball of various sizes and colors.

The man finally tried to protect himself and took out the Void Blade.

'Finally!' Nero smirked inwardly.

The man jumped around the chamber as Nero chased him and kept attacking him with mana-balls.

"You know, kid. The first thing you need to make sure of when you are fighting someone is to— Never underestimate your partner."

BOOM!

The ceiling fell off with a loud bang.

"The second thing you need to make sure of is to— Never trust your opponent's words."

The man jumped into the middle of the chamber and disappeared.

"The third thing to make sure is to— Never save your ultimate attack for the last." The man's voice echoed in the broken chamber.

"Since you are giving me some advice, let me tell you one piece of advice too."

Nero made a sign with his hand and spread it around the chamber.

"When you are fighting someone—" Nero raised both his hands in the air and turned around before saying, "Never give them advice."

Nero pulled the man out of nothingness and threw him on the ground.

"Heh!" The man smirked. "It took you a while to develop a technique to catch me."

Nero raised his brows and asked, "So you were expecting me to catch you?"

"I was expecting to… yeah." He nodded. "You have a gift, kid. You can evolve during any fight. You can copy, examine, attack, defend, and win against almost anyone; because you know how to fight. But if you don't feel satisfied after winning a fight, then everything is vain."

The man dashed at Nero and swung the sword at him. Nero turned to the side in the air and dodged the attack.

The man jumped to the wall and leaped to Nero, but Nero jumped to the other side and got behind the man.

They were fighting at superspeed, almost invisible to normal human eyes.

They fought in the air for minutes, both of them attacking each other and dodging.

Nero swung his tail and grabbed the man's leg.

"Wha—!" The man was caught by surprise, and let go of the void Blade.

Nero slammed the man to the ground and grabbed the Void Blade.

Nero poured all the powers from the mana-ball residing in his hand— in the void Blade and slashed it in the air, but nothing happened.

"Even after all that, you still can't use it, huh?" The man muttered.

Nero fired dozens of mana-balls at the man, but the man dodged them all. However, when Nero had grabbed the man's leg with his tail, it got injured, and the man couldn't run or dodge properly.

Nero leaped to the man and swung the Void Blade at his neck.

The man raised his hand and pointed his palm towards Nero, who was coming at him with godspeed.

When Nero swung the Void Blade, the distance between Nero and the man increased, as though he had changed the space and interfered with the dimension to increase the distance between them.

Nero swung the void Blade in the air and landed on his feet.

"Too bad," the man uttered. "If you could use the power of the blade then—"

CRACK!

A crack appeared on the crow mask that the man was wearing, and it widened and widened as the mask broke in half.

It revealed long black hair and a purple-colored eye.

"So," Nero smirked and uttered with a smug look on his face, "You were saying something?"

The man's eyes widened as he remembered something from long ago.

He was standing in front of a man who was wearing a three gem crown on his head. Behind the man was a bed where a black-haired woman was sleeping beside a newborn child.

"I want you to do something," the man wearing the crown uttered.

"What is it?" the man asked.

"If something ever happens to me, or her— please take care of Zeus and become his Godfather."

"What do you mean by 'if' something happens to you both? Nothing is going to happen to any of you. I, Hades, will protect you both— and the kid, with all my might. No matter what happens, I won't let anything happen to you."

The man wearing the crown scoffed and uttered in a solemn voice: "Hades, you are our friend, not a babysitter."
