Wemmbu Pov.
' 2 vs 1000? That's insane, extremely insane.. But maybe... At least when I do it with Flame?'
...

In a corner of the house, a figure stood still, gazing at the desolate scene before them. Where once stood an eye-catching ancient architecture with a grand row of majestic buildings surrounding a heroic warrior statue bearing a sword and shield.
But now, right here, it was the same place... Except, blood and corpses were scattered, piled up in every corner. The ancient architecture was now not only stained a deep crimson, but the building blocks and shockwaves from the explosions were also lying in a chaotic mess everywhere, deforming the architecture and completely destroying the beauty it ought to have.
For a brief moment, Wemmbu actually put forward a hypothesis.
' What if we both die here? Or at least me... This hopeless self, after all, no one really cares whether I live or not, unless they need some kind of benefit.... In the end, I really wonder if it holds any meaning if I die right here, if Flame can still kill them all.
So... What is the point of killing me here? Will the places I've destroyed or the corpses lying on the ground pop back up to their original state? Like a resurrection or something? Or just a sacrifice right here for a single life?'.
Regardless of what the figure was thinking, the flames from behind still charged forward.
"Yoo! I knew it!"
The figure, Wemmbu, unfurled his wings gently to mitigate the ambush from the upper edge. Then looked up at the person high above, who was also currently falling back down.
(A young man with black curly hair, braided into multiple sections with bright orange-yellow flaming tips covering a pair of small black horns, accompanied by deep brown skin tone and a black face mask concealing his demonic gaze. Always clad in heavy armor. Also known as the "Immortal demon").
"I'm glad you're still this sharp after such a huge battle!" FlameFlags said with an arrogant laugh.
Wemmbu returned a smile to him, but gentle and nonchalant. Then as he dove down, the real battle truly began from here. Though it clearly looked more like a one-sided slaughter than a battle.
' Nothing really surprising. Just as agreed beforehand, and now I know I won't be able to beat him this time. Regardless, it doesn't matter anymore, that much time as the "Strongest" is enough for me to assert that I'm not a "Lost cause" '.

A while later...
At a deep crater likely caused by an attack.
Looking up from below, Wemmbu looked at FlameFlags. A brief moment of silence.
" Now I think you can admit you're weaker than me," Flame said with a mocking smile.
" Fine. You can be the strongest," I replied to him, a subtle smile appearing on my lips just like when the battle began.
"That's it?"
"Yeah, what else do you want me to say?".
Then FlameFlags just left in silence, leaving behind the shadow of the purple demon who was still smiling at the bottom of the crater.

The demon's gear was now tattered, weapons and armor mostly on their last legs, with no potions or anything usable left for combat.
' My body right now... Probably the most valuable things are these maces... Specifically 3, since I had 2 on hand and 1 is loot from the 2 vs 1000 battle that just happened... Oh 'Sunsun flower', my beloved mace really needs to be repaired right now. Sigh... Quite fortunate that Crucible wasn't used too much in this battle. And even though I didn't need a 3rd mace, there's no reason to throw away my trophy'.
[Gambit???]
While Wemmbu was still organizing his mess of items, the shadow of a small army arrived at the edge of the crater he was standing in. One person jumped down, like a representative offering peace.
(A Caracal cat with dark red fur, featuring a white plus-like marking on its face and accented with green eyelids, a touch that made its large, round eyes look genuinely adorable. But clad in a suit of combat armor and an inventory filled entirely with battle gear.)
"Hey Wemmbu! You look like you already know your fate, huh?"
LettuceK stood on the ledge opposite the crater, a smirk that seemed like contempt and mockery for the figure standing in front of him right now.
"Good to see you, I actually don't think I'm in that bad of a shape," this time Wemmbu didn't even bother to smile, his expression merely reading 'understood' then 'So what?', a calm attitude.
That clearly made LettuceK become more irritated and vigilant.
"Oh... Princess, you know with your current state, you can't beat us. So I'm actually giving you 2 choices".
"1 is to cooperate and come with me, 2 is- "
"2 is to die here?" Wemmbu cut off the words of the overly confident cat.
"Oh no, I just intend to restrain you by force! You can't die here yet." LettuceK, though annoyed, still smiled to make peace and spread his arms out.
' Sounds crazy, I wonder how I've acted over the past time for them to think I'm that easy to catch?'.
"Actually, isn't option number 1 the better choice? Since according to you, I'd get caught anyway." Wemmbu said, his tone sounding inquisitive yet not bothering to hide his composure.
"So is that your choice, Princess?" LettuceK couldn't hide his arrogant, sarcastic tone toward the purple demon in front of him anymore.
"Too bad, I know I'm not caught to have to choose."
As he finished his sentence, the purple demon held a fishing rod and snapped it in half. Not an orbital strike cannon, but stasis chambers. After that, the purple shadow gently vanished right before the eyes of so many Law members.

' In a place like Unstable, those who operate alone are always prime targets for others. So preparing in advance is a given. Yeah, well, I'm one of those rare solo-type players on this one-life server...
Actually, I used to have a companion, but... It wasn't fine at all'.
