Belial clenched his teeth together tightly while scowling at Court across the wasteland. He was in no mood for this demon's games, and without hesitation he dashed forward trailing the sword edge of his weapon behind him.

As he quickly closed in on his opponent, skulls surrounded by dark energy quickly began to swirl around the demon. It was too late for him to halt his attack and he quickly leapt into the air in a 360 motion,his sword slicing up through on of the skulls the blade coming down towards the demon in his descent.

Court quickly took a step back bringing one of his arms up towards his attacker. As the blade impacted his flesh a dark energy sent off sparks, deflecting the strike, only to have the blade come back around in the opposing direction even as he quickly stepped back avoiding the second wave.

As Belial's strike missed he quickly regained his balance, again dashing towards the demon. Shortly after beginning his dash, the once-god quickly set his free hand against the ground, propelling himself into a somersault. He made use of the momentum to bring the blade of his sword down hard, as Court used his two upper arms to trap the tip of the blade.

Court quickly used his lower arms to lash out at him, Belial quickly leaping up from his position kicking down hard on the handle of his weapon The result being, the axe blade on the handle swinging down towards Courts face in a pendulum like fashion, as he himself sailed through the air.

His arc above courts head was well calculated and he fluidly brought his fist hard against the back of courts head, incidentally throwing himself several feet across the ground onto his back.

He had not seen Court deflect the weapon, though he was now aware of a great distance between he and his blade. That was without even considering the obstacle which stood right between the two.

Making his way to his feet, Belial readied to attack yet again, 2 more of Courts skull minions quickly beginning to spiral around his now weaponless form, even as Court gathered 4 bolts of dark energy, one in each hand.

Belial's left hand began emit a dark energy as he quickly backhanded his fist into one of the skulls shattering the bone; Immediately following that up with his shadow piercing up towards Courts face. Two of the bolts of shadow had been deflected in that motion and Belial made use of his own shadow as a bridge despite Courts quick movements to avoid the spike.

The moment Belial's shadow touched the ground in front of him, a single black rose grew forth beginning to bloom. Belial landing on his feet, quickly turning to see Court disappearing into the shadows.

It seemed this was a battle which would have to be settled at a later time.
