The energy column began to fade as the area it was in and the man's form was different.
For starters his skin turned into a deep green color while his eyes remain their golden color.
He discarded his suit for something more practical, with that being a silk ceremonial robe, golden bracers on his wrists and ankles and various jewelery around him.
Two prominent horns made from solidified gold sat on the side of his head that seemed to reflect the moon light.
Along his body were golden markings.
"Ahhh!" He let out a soft exhale as he stretched his arms wide.
"Haven't taken this form in a while... wait, how long has it been since I've taken this form?" He questioned as he placed his hand in his chin rubbing it in thought.
Ezekiel, Monica, and Alexia didn't move or to be precise they could as they were riddled with overwhelming fear.
As Mammon looked over to the three he decided to put his question on pause.
"Ah! Little priests! Sorry for keeping you waiting, here allow me to reintroduce myself.
The stomped the ground and liquid gold birsted out from the ground around him. And began to move in their direction.
"I am the Treasurer of Hell, the Golden Demon...or my most famous title the Prince of Greed!" He finished as he hovered in the air staring down at them with a wicked grin across his face.
Avoid the gold!" Ezekiel shouted as they all jumped into the air and energy platforms appeared beneath them.
"Hay that's cheating. We can't have that." Mammon said as he appeared infron if Ezekiel with a blink of an eye and struck him in the stomach.
*BOOM!*
Ezekiel was sent flying through the trees as he crashed into the ground. Creating a small explosion, as the steam remained on Mammon fist.
"Hmmmm? He survived that?" He asked in genuine curiosity, but as if to try to take advantage of his surprise.
Monica and Alexia appeared in a split second, with Alexia generating a circular spheres in her hand and Monica attempting to slash Mammons head.
*Tig.*
*BANG.*
The liquid gold move at shocking speeds to block both attack. As it took the shape of a shield to block Alexia's attack and a sword to clash with Monica's.
"You know..." he began. "Even while I'm weaker in the human world that doesn't mean I'm easy pickings."
He finished as the liquid gold started to take yhe shape of countless sharp weapons and began firing them at Alexia and Monica's direction.
As Monica began flying in the air, maneuvering her way to dodging, blocking and parrying most the the weapons to avoid all her vital areas but still receiving some cuts and slashes.
As Alexia used the forest to her advantage, as whenever one of the weapons got too close she'd dodge them letting them his the trees.
While she created small barriers to block the other attacks she couldn't avoid.
And to this Mammon was somewhat impressed. As most Priest he's encountered for all his time on earth have never been this capable, but that isn't to say they were weak either back then.
Even though Mammon could be said to only be using 25% of his true strength it didn't mean he was a slouch.
As he moved to fast he appeared as if teleporting from one place to another as he attempted to grabbed Monica by her face, but than
*STAB. STAB. STAB.*
Three cross shaped blades made from holy light pireced his arm. With 2 pirecing his arm while the last one pierced through the palm of his hand.
As dark black blood gushed from the wounds. But he did have time to respond, as golden projectlie was sent hurling towards him.
Mammon tried to stop it by sending the liquid gold to try and stop the attack but, as the tendrils tried to catch the attack, but it was too fast.
*BOOM!*
The attack landed creating a small explosion with leaving a small dust cloud with absurdly their vision of the demon.
Monica used this chance to regroup with Alexia. She appeared next to her to check on her. "Alexia, sister are you okay?"
"I'm fine just a few scratches. What about you?"
I am good, but what about brother Ezekiel? How is he?"
As if to answer them the sound of metal clashing responded back. To which they looked up and saw Ezekiel who was clashing against Mammon's gold which took thr shape of a hammer to block his spear.
The upper half of Ezekiel's uniform was completely ruined. His chest was bare with a deep purple discoloration prominent from the blow he received from Mammon.
The lord of greed seemed to be getting bored as he didn't seemed at all surprised at Ezekiel's survival.
"I'd appreciate it, if you didn't waste my time with your useless attempts to be a hero." Mammon said his golden eyes meeting Ezekiel's ones which glowed with a raident light.
Demon! I don't need your empty words! I am a servant of the lord himself! And i will vanquish you in his name!"
He spun the spear and tried to slices he's neck open but Mammon used his hand to actually block his attack.
Mammon face was twisted in a venomous scowl of hate as he stared into Ezekiel's eyes.
He grabbed the golden hammer and struck Ezekiel on the side. The sound of bones cracking rang out.
"AAAHHH!" He let out a roar of pain as his body was sent flying into the direction of Monica and Alexia.
But before he could reach them Mammon decided to fully go on the offensive.
As the gold took the shape of multiple eye balls shaped orbs that floated around him.
"Lumen Midae." He said as green energy beams shot out at tremendous speeds.
which reaching him within seconds away, so to counter he performed multiple spear thrusts which shot out projectiles which canceled Mammon's beams allowing hims to fall without any danger.
As he continued to freeze fall he sense danger behind him and turned.
Mammon flew towards him at impressive speeds and nearly reached him but than.
With in a flash Monica appeared behind Mammon and swung her blade at his neck attempting to chop his head off.
*STAB, STAB STAB!*
Spat.
