The Burning saint: Ascended

The demon king.

At the peak of the highest mountain in hell, stands the castle of the most powerful known demon. It was the demon king who defeated the saint in battle, leaving a barely recognizable corpse. To the surprise of many, he did not kill the templar that came to help her, instead he allowed the human to take her body and leave his realm.

Several days later, a fire spawn knocked on the massive doors of the castle throne room. After an hour of knocking, the king became annoyed and with a swing of his arm, the door slammed open. The fire spawn casually walked in, quietly uttering, "Showoff." Giving it a menacing look while sitting on the throne, waiting to hear what this annoyance was here for, the king asked "What do you want, Jack?" The fire spawn that called itself Jack, was standing in the center of the throne room and said to the king, "I wanted to know what happened. I just got back here and I see a bunch of demons holding a goodbye ceremony for the lady who's been slaughtering them for like a decade." The king was confused by this and asked, "You don't know? You, who always knows everything about everything? You, who always knows how every event will turn out?" Jack thought the king was giving it too much credit, "I wouldn't know everything, if I didn't gather information on everything, and I can't predict the future, I can only make educated guesses." The king then turned the tables on Jack and said, "Well then, make a guess."

Jack looked back at the entrance and said, "Well, there was a hand shaped hole on the door, I'd say the saint finally arrived and tried to burn through the door after she failed to open it with force." The fire spawn stopped to ask, "Before I continue with that, I just realized I didn't see any corpses or even blood anywhere in the castle on my way here, did you order everyone to leave when you found out she was coming?" The king confirmed, "Yes, she was after me, and if she was after me, I didn't see why I should waste all of my most powerful warriors, if I'm more likely to win than they are." Jack acted confused, "Wait... That's why you sent everyone away? If you didn't want to risk everyone getting killed, why didn't you seek her out?" Annoyed, the king replied, "Don't play dumb, you know I have no way of tracking someone who moves that fast, in a land so large in scale. The saint spent ten years wandering this world, killing demons, and she never even knew where to look for me." Jack chuckled and said, "That's because she's too stubborn to ask for directions and because her phone didn't tell her where your castle is at the time, because I thought you didn't want her to find you." The king confirmed, "At the time I thought she would die eventually if I leave it to whoever was in the area, but my point still stands, I wasn't going to find her by chasing her, it was better to let her come here." Jack wasn't satisfied and asked, "You told me to reveal your location a year after she arrived, it doesn't take nine years to get here from where the portal to earth was." The king sighed, "You already know why it took so long for her to get here, are you trying to get me to kill you?" In response Jack denied it saying, "Fair enough, I guess I shouldn't be clowning around anymore."

Jack got back to the earlier topic, "You wanted me to tell you how your meeting with the saint went down, right?" The king slammed his fist in the throne from frustration, causing a shockwave that made the entire castle tremble as he said, "If the next thing you say will be about how I'm asking you to tell me something I already know, I will throw my chair at you!" Seeing how the throne was ten times bigger than the fire spawn, Jack agreed to not mess around.

Getting back to figuring things out, Jack said, "Alright, like I said, the saint tried to burn through the door, but it turned out to be too dense, she didn't have the energy for it and afterwards you opened the door for her. I'm guessing you tried to talk to her, hoping she's willing to understand you. Did she listen?" The king replied, "She didn't waste a second to attack me, the moment that door opened she had her sniper rifle pointed at me, I managed to stop a bullet from hitting me in the face, and instead it left a hole in my hand. It took an hour for the shaman to close it." Jack continued the guessing game, "So, she attacked immediately, and you blocked the first shot, and because it left a hole in your hand, she tried to shoot again, with the expectation that if she keeps shooting, you won't have hands left to defend yourself with. But you're smart, you wouldn't let her succeed that easily. After the first shot, she was walking toward you as she was shooting, because she's an idiot. So after the first shot you swung your arm and the force of it closed the door behind her, trapping her inside, and it knocked her off her feet, slammed her into the closed door behind her. Of course, being pressed against the wall would've given her an advantage, because you couldn't push her further and she could lean against the wall to maintain balance as she was shooting, but you were aware of that, so you jumped out of your chair swinging your arm sideways." Jack pointed to the right of the entrance saying, "Probably throwing her into that corner over there, and because from that corner there's a massive Pilar between you and her, she didn't have a clear shot anymore."
