Chapter 8- An Encounter With a Demon Part 1- The Duel

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The days after the Gala was very dull for Entropy, Celestia and Luna were busy with bureaucratic hell. So the God of chaos decided some more practice with his powers would be a good idea. After all, practice makes perfect. As Entropy prepared to practice, a chill ran up the chaos deity's spine. Suddenly, a black and red tear opened in front of Entropy and out stepped a 7ft tall creature that looked like a mixture of a crocodile and goat. It had deep green, scaly skin that turned to black fur covered goat legs complete with cloven hooves, curved ram's horns, and a crocodilian tail, tipped with spikes.

"Attention, I am Boragoz, Captain of Demon Lord Asmodeus, and I have come to destroy you in my master's name." With that declaration out of the way, the demon launched a bolt of black lightning out of his left hand, when it connected with Entropy's chest, It sent the unsuspecting God flying backward until his flight was stopped rather roughly by a surprisingly robust Oak tree. Another bolt rushed towards Entropy, who, now aware of the purpose of this visit, teleported out of the way and returned with a bolt of lightning of his own, this one a deep and majestic looking purple. Suprised, Boragoz barely dodged, the blast blowing off his left horn. The roar the demon unleashed was one of an equal mixture of pain and annoyance.

"Don't dish it out if you can't take it too, you bitch," Entropy said with a laugh. Entropy then tore a massive boulder out of the ground nearby and sent it hurtling towards the demon, who blasted the rock into pieces, but Entropy merely meant for the stone to be a distraction and a massive chunk of ice smashed into the fiendish mage-captain not a moment later. Entropy watched his opponent regain his footing after being knocked prone by the truck-sized piece of frozen water.

"Enough of this shit, I will annihilate you!" As he spoke he charged up a massive bolt of pure raw magic, which he then launched at Entropy, which met its mark, sending the Master of Chaos, flying before carving a deep trench in the earth. Struggling to stand, Entropy got to his knee's just in time for Boragoz, to slam a magically charged punch into Entropy's face causing it to erupt in purple Ichor. Entropy, by this point, wholly enraged, ported behind the demon and landed a magically charged stomp kick into the middle of Boragoz's back, which had the effect of sending the demon flying face first into a boulder, which in turn led to the fiend's other horn snapping in half.

Divine blood gushed from Entropy's face and onto the ground. Snapping, the formerly pristine pinstriped suit, now torn and burnt was replaced with a suit of armor, a chest plate made of a mixture of plate mail, and scale mail, Leggings of plate mail, greaves, with spikes on the knees, designed to add more damage from knee based attacks without sacrificing mobility, boots of metal, shoulder pauldrons with spikes, and vambraces and gauntlets both with spikes. The vambraces had their spikes curving outward from the outside of his wrist to halfway down, and the gauntlet spikes were placed on the knuckles to inflict maximum punching damage, another snap summoned a bastard sword with a sword breaker edge and a spiked pommel.

The demon wore a bemused expression and summoned his arms and armor, a staff topped with a curved blade, with obscene runes carved into the entirety of the weapon and a set of armored robes with foul glyphs woven into the fabric and cut into the metal, and an occult grimoire chained to the creature's waist. The pair paced around each other both parties looking for an opening, Entropy, decided to use the moment wisely and sent a psychic scream for help to the princesses of Equestria, not necessarily needing help, but positively not refusing the advantage of superior numbers.


P.O.V. Shift: Princess Celestia:

Princess Celestia, the lady of the rising sun and diarch of Equestria, was doing paperwork when suddenly, Celestia's mind was battered with a cry for help, the call coming from none other than her new close friend Entropy, receiving all the information she needed from the mental message. She quickly teleported down to the armory, seeing Luna already there and half armored with her sword, Lunar Edge strapped to her side along with an assortment of throwing knives, filled Celestia's heart with grim determination. Walking towards an armor stand, and quickly donning her ancient suit of enchanted mythrill battleplate, she thought to herself what could be harming her friend as she prepared to come to his aid.

"Hurry sister; Entropy would not have summoned us to his aid if the threat to his person was not great." Said Luna slipping into old equestrian in her worry. Celestia grabbed her halberd, Solar Fury and attached to her back along with a pair of miniature crossbows, making sure to grab more than enough arrows.

"I am ready Luna, come, we must hurry to Entropy's aid, who knows what foul beast is threatening him as we speak."

"Verily sister." At this both Luna and Celestia, thoroughly equipped for battle charged their horns to teleport to the castle of their friend.


P.O.V. Shift: Entropy:

To say Entropy was pissed was an understatement of epic proportions, he had been attacked out of the blue and now his attacker was a right pain in the ass by launching pieces of Entropy's castle at him, the demon had already collapsed the arches leading into his palace, and was now throwing parts of said arches at him.

"Keep breaking my castle, the more you do, the more pissed I get, the more pissed I get, the more pieces I'm going to tear you too." Boragoz just smirked smugly and launched yet another chunk of the god of chaos's castle at him.

"Promises, Promises. I would love to see you try." While the demon was distracted with grabbing another piece, Entropy ported into melee range and swung his bastard sword across the face the fiend, cutting cleanly through the demon's eye. The pain caused the foul beast to drop the chunk of the pillar he was grabbing. But before Entropy could get another hit in, Boragoz returned the favor by slashing Entropy across the chest. Teleporting away from his foe, Entropy checked his newest wound, the slash was long but luckily was blocked by his chest plate. Entropy then launched a Massive purple fireball at his attacker, the fire burning more of the demon's already damaged robes. Getting an Idea, Entropy summoned a large amount of magic and sent a spell at his target, that turned what remained of his armor into a solid piece of glass. The demon's confusion allowed Entropy to lunge at his attacker in an attempt to finish him, but the devil shattered the glass, allowing him to move, but not by enough. Instead of landing a blow directly in the devilish creature's heart, Entropy's sword instead fell an inch to the left. Still, a fatal blow, but not an instantaneous one like Entropy had hoped. The confusion on Entropy's part allowed the dying creature to stab Entropy through the gut with the blade of his staff. Just in time for Celestia and Luna to arrive.

"Entropy! NO!" Both Princess cried out. As the Demon's body turned to ash, Entropy collapsed to his knees, as Celestia and Luna rushed to his aid, whatever they said lost as The God of Chaos blacked out.
