Did he just...? Did this human seriously just say that?

'Shouldn't have said that,' was an understatement.

One might have almost sworn they saw veins popping in the Overlord's forehead as he clenched his hands into shaking fists. How many times had he heard that? How many times had someone called him a child since he'd been here? Had his title laughed at? Been underestimated?

It was a moment of the proverbial breaking of the camel's back.

He barely acknowledged Etna as rage had taken over.

"How many damn times do I have to tell you stupid HUMANS..." he began, struggling to just keep his voice in check, as dark power began to pulse around him, his eyes glowing dangerously yellow.

"I'm a DEMON! An OVERLORD! I'M ONE THOUSAND THREE-HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN, YOU MORON!" he screamed at Ichigo, as he gathered the energy to his hand and sent a blast at a nearby skyscraper.

The glowing orb of energy exploded upon impact, completely demolishing the building to ash and rubble.

"Now YOU get the HELL out of my damn way!"

With that Laharl took off after Etna.

((...Sorry Ichigo ^^; Laharl called dibs awhile ago and uh... won't give it up. XD))

Well. Okay then. Maybe it was better just to go after one of the other monsters after all.

[[no problem, it's ichigo's canon to butt in all the time. ^_^;;;;]]

In the midst of this fighting, Cloverfield was steadily stomping in their direction, paying absolutely no regard to any buildings unfortunate enough to be in her path.

However, when Etna's massive attack hit her full, on, she stopped in her tracks and let out a sky-shattering roar in rage and pain. She stumbled down into the street, one of her front legs clearly broken by the impact of the attack, and cracks in her armor-like skin appearing all over her shoulders and neck. It was a good thing the streets were empty, as an army of parasite crabs was now spilling into the street, fleeing the injured monster.

When the skyscraper exploded into rubble, Cloverfield turned and roared at it in fury, her tail whipping a path of destruction through the street behind her. The monster was going down.

Smirking, Etna darted to one side, allowing the Prince to land the final blow. Not that she didn't find the prospect of missing all that EXP not getting to kill the thing herself annoying, but she knew if she did finish it off the Prince would be unbearable for the next century or so.

Instead she made it up to herself by flying towards a skyscraper as fast as she could, and with a whirlwind of spear strikes sent the thing crashing down on the hoard of fleeing crabs, laughing all the while as she blasted the stragglers.
