It took some time to get back from world to world using the ability and now I am back, it seems that I got transported inside the shadow that I gave to Elaine-sama back then. Thanks to Alpha the shadow forms into a weapon that Elaine-sama can use in the battle. It's unfortunate that Beatrice has been killed by Lucifer, if only I came back in time Beatrice would be still alive. Truly, how unfortunate. Right now Elaine-sama seems to be heading to Beelzebub and Diavolo. I think it's time for me to come out, but before that...
Hey Alpha, are you there?
<<I'm here Shizuka-sama>>
You are able to communicate directly to Elaine-sama's head right? If Diavolo is in sight, form into a sword and tell Elaine-sama to throw the sword to Diavolo. Also use your strength (if you have) to accelerate the speed of the throw.
<<Understood>>
Everything is now set! Don't worry Ariel and Beatrice, I will be sure to avenge your death. It seems that the final round has finally begun. And we are now in the present where me and Diavolo will fight head on. I successfully sliced off his left arm and because of that he subconsciously backed off leaving Beelzebub behind.
"Elaine-sama, please use your healing on Beelzebub! Don't let her die!!"
"But, what about yours…"
"Don't mind me, just use your healing on Beelzebub. I know I can hold a bit longer until you can use your ability again." Just like I instructed, Elaine-sama started healing Beelzebub's wound, and the wound started to close. And as expected, Elaine-sama suddenly loses balance, she must've lost lots of her energy after using that ability. Just a bit longer, I can hold it a bit longer. Until Elaine-sama gets her energy back and heals my wound, I can hold it by then!
"Diavolo!!" I shouted his name as I rushed towards him and created a scythe using the shadows of the place. The moonlight is currently getting blocked by the clouds, I can use the shadow until the clouds leave the moon's field of vision!
"Daughter! How the hell did you get out of my ability!?" As he said that, he rushed towards me. And as he ran, a sword suddenly appeared on his right hand and using that sword we exchanged hits of our weapons. Despite losing an arm, his strength on his right hand is so strong, so strong enough to make the scythe fly off my hands if I lose focus. As we exchange hits of our weapons, I realize that he keeps looking somewhere.
Does he still have some allies? Elaine-sama doesn't have any energy to cast another magic but, Beelzebub will soon get her strength back to fight… I think that's enough to defend us if someone shows up and attacks us. Because I'm worrying about the others, I lost focus on our fight.
"Where are you looking?!!" Diavolo shouts as he uses his full strength on his next attack, the attack completely destroying my scythe and slicing off my right hand. Using the shadows, I took my severe arm and reattached it.
"Diavolo, you might have an ability to burn things to ash. I can't take the risk and let my arm turn to ash." As I said that, I rushed towards him and created another scythe, and again he looked somewhere. I also noticed that his speed keeps increasing and increasing every time he looks somewhere, something's off…
"You can't beat me, Lucy… Even if you cut me into pieces, I will regenerate and will keep attacking you!" As he said that he shows his left arm to me, and surprisingly his left arm is completely healed. The arm grew instantly, like a lizard when its tail was cut off. After he showed his arm he looked at the sky and rushed towards me, his speed increased again!
Immortality?! Are you fucking kidding me?! But, why… Why does he keep looking at the sky, something's really wrong here…
It took me long enough to realize that the moon's location changes to the other side of the sky. T-The moon!? Don't tell me, Ariel's ability…!! Before Ariel got transported to my world, she used all her energy to accelerate time from dusk to dawn!! But why…? Why did she do that…? Is this a message from her? Diavolo kept looking at the sky, and every minute his speed kept increasing and increasing. Almost as if he wants to finish the fight before the sun rises… Before the sun rises… The sun… …?! Don't tell me… His weakness is…
After some time, the sun started to rise. Diavolo noticed it and he started to sweat, and as expected he tried to flee from the battle. I knew it…!! Diavolo!! As I thought of that I used my own shadow to grab his legs and force him to fall off the ground.
"You're weakness… It's sunlight!!" As I shouted that, Diavolo looked terrified and wanted to get out of here right away.
