The heavens stirred with urgency as a flare of corrupted energy tore through the mortal realm. Seraphion Luxorius stood in the celestial halls, his golden eyes fixed on the swirling portal that shimmered before him. The call had come—a demon of exceptional malice had begun to wreak havoc on Earth, and the balance was at risk.
With a graceful step, Seraphion descended through the portal, his wings of light unfurling behind him. The mortal world greeted him with an eerie silence, save for the faint whispers of wind through skeletal trees. A forest lay before him, shrouded in mist and deathly still. The source of corruption was near.
From the shadows emerged the demoness. Her form was both haunting and strangely captivating, a perfect amalgam of beauty and horror. Her cracked porcelain skin seemed to ripple with dark energy, the fractures glowing faintly like the veins of an ancient curse. Her lips, painted a deep shade of black, curled into a cruel smile that revealed sharp, predatory teeth. Twin pools of endless void stared back at him where her eyes should have been, reflecting no light, only consuming it.
A hooded cloak as dark as midnight draped over her slender frame, embroidered with symbols of ancient, forbidden magic. Around her neck, she wore a choker of interlocking black rings, and a pendant of a twisted, inverted crucifix hung low, pulsing faintly as if alive. Her silver hair flowed like liquid mercury, unnaturally still despite the wind that played around them. Every movement she made was deliberate, as if mocking the very idea of time.
"An angel," she hissed, her voice a low, melodic drawl that carried both amusement and disdain. "They send their gilded champion to face me. How quaint."
Seraphion held his staff before him, its golden glow pushing back the encroaching darkness that swirled around her. "You tread where you do not belong, demon. Leave this place and surrender your corruption, or face judgment."
