Ben and Deliora's battle heated up as they assumed their most powerful forms. Deliora rushed towards Ben and punched him with all his strength. He doesn't use his beam because Ben can simply dodge it.
Ben didn't back down and took Deliora's punches head-on. He created a pair of gigantic fists comprised of solar energy on his hands to counter Deliora's punches. This is something Ben came up with after scanning a lot of magic books in the Magic Library.
Both Ben and Deliora kept punching each other and neither backed off. Their punches are really strong and they trigger explosions and shock waves upon contact. They're so fast that they look like blurry lines.
BOOM BOOM BOOM*
"ROAR!" Deliora screamed.
Deliora keeps roaring while punching Ben with all his strength. His fully red eyes look menacingly and his fangs look scarier. But Ben wasn't frightened by that and he can't push Ben back, so he exerted more power.
On another side, Ben is very focused on countering Deliora's punches. He is too focused that his eyes look like they're fully white. His mouth is shut tight as he just focuses on looking for and sensing the incoming attacks to counter them.
Suddenly, Ben senses another type of attack coming from Deliora. He is very focused, so he can tell that this attack is different. It came from Deliora's mouth, so Ben knew it was a beam.
PSHEW*
Deliora fired a lime energy beam amidst his punches towards Ben. Ben sensed it and prepared a spell to counter it. A reddish-gold magic circle is spinning in front of his mouth.
"Sun Devil Scream!" Ben yelled as he released solar energy from his mouth.
He exerts more power for this Scream spell to counter Deliora's beam.
BOOM*
Their attacks clash and push each other in the center. They got into a stalemate for a moment before Ben's attack gets pushed back and Deliora's attack passes through. It hit the spot where Ben was standing and generated a large explosion.
Deliora thought that he overpowered Ben's attack. But he was wrong, Ben weakened his spell on purpose. He thinks that trying to overpower each other like that is stupid and just wasting energy.
So Ben weakened his Scream spell and teleported away to avoid Deliora's energy beam. Now he is on Deliora's left side without the demon's knowledge. He also had extended both his hands to the front and a reddish-gold magic circle has formed on his hands.
"Sun Devil Solar Cannon!" Ben yelled as he fired strong solar energy from his hands.
The solar energy shoots straight towards Deliora's torso. Deliora realized this, but it was too late as the solar energy arrived in front of him. It hit his torso and exploded strongly.
A massive explosion went off inside the dome and it got everyone's attention. The explosion engulfed the whole space in the dome that it glows bright red. This spell was one of Ben's strongest spells, so the effect must be big because he used a lot of power.
The bright red dome can be seen from all sides of the island. It gathers everyone's attention and they look at it. They stopped their battle for a moment and look at the dome with widened eyes. If they were still inside the dome, they would also be engulfed in the explosion.
Everyone there now had the same thought, they are glad they aren't inside the dome. Just from the explosion's aftermath, they can determine it's really strong. None of them are sure they could defend against it.
But none of them knew who's power that was, whether it's Ben's magic or Deliora's magic. Even Gray and Lyon are uncertain because they remember Deliora has this kind of power, but it could be Ben's power because they don't know anything about it.
The explosion distracted them for a moment but they focused on their battles again. They can't do anything about Ben's battle with the dome still there, so they can only fight their opponents now. Well, it's not like they wanted to go there after seeing such a large explosion, even Lyon who wanted to kill Deliora.
Back in the dome, the explosion subsided. The dust and smoke that cover the whole space had started to disperse. A big crater is visible in the explosion site and the ruins of the temple had been destroyed.
All of the temple ruins are pushed to the side and stacked on the dome wall. Deliora is also seeing lying on top of those remains after being pushed back by Ben's spell. He had blood covering his body and there's a big hole in his torso.
But he isn't dead yet and he can stand up again slowly. He looked at Ben who was still standing in his initial position. Deliora had a pained expression, but he still looked at the grinning Ben with hatred all over his face.
Ben was the only one who wasn't affected by the explosion as it was his spell and he had prepared for the effect. Even the ground beneath and behind him is still intact. But it doesn't mean he wasn't affected at all.
Right now, Ben was hiding his exhaustion after using a lot of power for that spell. He hides his frantic breathing by grinning and having a smug expression. That spell used a third of his full magic power, so it made him tired.
He hides his exhaustion to show Deliora that their levels are far apart. Actually, he still has more than 100,000 magic power, but the last spell had taken a lot of his magic power at once, that's what caused him to become exhausted. He can still fight Deliora like before, but he needed a little rest if he wanted to exert the same power.
But he can't wait because Deliora will recover too and that would be troublesome. He doesn't know what the demon is still capable of and he needs to finish this right now. There are more spells that he wanted to test, but that's not a priority now.
"Well, Deliora, I think this is goodbye. You've just woken up, but you need to sleep again. Don't worry, I promise no one will wake you up again, so you won't get into the same trouble again." Ben grinned as he reverted back to his normal form.
"GRR!" Deliora groaned angrily.
Ben raised his right hand in front of him and created a dark purple magic circle. Then a dark purple ball that was the size of a volleyball appeared on top of it.
"Don't worry about a burial, I will help you with it." Ben said as he threw the ball at Deliora.
The ball flew towards Deliora and he wanted to evade it. But he was too weak to run due to all his injuries. The ball eventually appeared in front of his chest and he can't do anything about it.
"Sun Devil Gravity Spot!" Ben hollered as he clenched his right hand.
Deliora was suddenly pulled into the gravity ball and so are all the ruins of the temple in the dome. His hands and legs are also pulled, so he resembled a koala that was hugging the ball now. He tried to resist it, but the gravity ball is very strong as it had 38x the gravity, which is Ben's current limit.
The temple ruins that were pulled along are flying towards Deliora. As he is the closest to the ball, Deliora is stuck in the center. The ruins fly fast and start to hit him really hard but he can't do anything except groan in pain.
The ruins cover Deliora's body on every side and start to form a giant ball. Eventually, all the temple ruins bury him and a gigantic ball is formed. It hovers in midair and Ben pulled it closer to him.
"He's still alive, huh? What a tenacious guy. But this will surely end you. Sun Devil Gravity Compression!" Ben exclaimed.
Ben opened his clenched right hand and poured more magic power into it before clenching it again. He spread the gravity all over the gigantic ball and then compressed it. The gigantic ball's size reduced slowly as it got denser and denser.
Eventually, it became very dense and was reduced to half it's initial size. Now Ben can't sense any life signs from Deliora. The demon had been crushed to death inside the giant ball.
Ben then put the giant ball on the ground.
"That's the end of Deliora." He said.
