A smirk spread across Vaan's face, triggered more by Abaddon's thoughts than his own. This was the person the demon wanted to see; the person he wanted to destroy. Any uncertainty Vaan had when faced by such power was drowned out by Abaddon's influence on his mind. To destroy Death was to rid order and balance from the fabric of existence, and of course, a true demon's ultimate goal was chaos, wasn't it? To destroy and wreak havoc was the soul reason he existed, so he was going to destroy Death or die trying.<br/><br/>"Yes, we'll see," Vaan said, speaking with the will of Abaddon, his demon, the demon of destruction, and allowing blue hellfire to envelop him completely. "That is, we'll see which force is stronger in this world: Death, or Destruction."<span style="font-style: italic">Abaddon,</span>Vaan thought with a solemn tone,<span style="font-style: italic">this is what you want me to do. You want me to destroy him. I'll need all the power you can give me.</span><br/><br/>Abaddon gave a chuckle and thought to himself,<span style="font-style: italic">No. There's no way you could ever defeat him at this point, and I cannot give you any more power than I already have at this level of compatibility. But fear not, my dear, fragile host. Even chaos is not without strategy. This is an unwinnable battle, but a necessary one. You will understand eventually.</span><br/><br/>Vaan took the briefest of moments to steel himself before charging at Death, aiming a roundhouse kick at his throat.
