Chapter 847: Beast
"That's a nice dress change. But it's not going to change anything," Azurel commented. He didn't even hurry to attack Lucifer. Instead, he just stood calmly, giving Lucifer ample time to prepare as if they weren't in a hurry and didn't consider Lucifer a threat.
Surrounded in his lightning armor, Lucifer was ready. His wings had already started boosting his speed even though he wasn't moving. His vision also became better as he could see even the most minute details.
The lightning armor was also working in his favor in a different way. The lightning was creating a disturbance in the surrounding space, creating Spatial Cracks, which protected him from the spatial control of Licia.
Lucifer clapped his fists together as he glanced at the two enemies before him.
"Are you done?" Azurel asked. "I'm getting tired here."
"I won't make you wait anymore," Lucifer responded before his figure disappeared. Within the blink of an eye, he appeared before Azurel, reaching out his hand, which had turned into a claw.
Lucifer thrust his claw, trying to stab it in the chest of the man. He still had his mind controlling parasite ability which he hadn't used in a long time. Since this guy was so interested in controlling someone else's mind, Lucifer decided to give him the taste of his own medicine.
"You're very slow," Azurel commented as Lucifer's claws passed through his body which dispersed as if it was nothing but an afterimage.
Azurel was behind Lucifer. His hand landed on the head of Lucifer as he again tried to take over Lucifer. Unfortunately, Lucifer placed his own hand on top of Azurel's hands.
"Let's see who falls first," Lucifer responded, making it a race between the two. His decay had started working on Azurel while Azurel was trying to break the mental defense of Lucifer.
Fortunately, Licia wasn't fighting now. Both the Generals give themselves too much importance. Fighting one against two was beneath their dignity, which was why Licia let the two fight. No matter what happened, she wasn't going to interfere, which was good news for Lucifer, who believed he could win.
The body of Azurel started decaying, albeit extremely slowly. His skin started becoming flaky, and his body became weaker. On the other hand, Lucifer was becoming stronger from the stolen energy. Unfortunately, that strength was only going to his body and not his mind, which was under constant assault.
His armor became even stronger as the space became even more unstable.
"If that's the battle you want, then I won't hesitate either!" The eyes of Azurel started shining in a beautiful crimson shade. His body increased in size as a third eye opened in the middle of his forehead.
Boom~
As soon as the third eye of Azurel opened, Lucifer felt a thumping pressure. Cracks started developing in his mental defenses, which he couldn't resist. The balance between the two sides was broken as Azurel brought an even higher strength.
Lucifer knew he couldn't let his defenses break, or he was going to be in big trouble.
Fortunately, in his long years, he had learned that he didn't need to play by the rules. Only the rules he made existed.
As if dancing with the wind, he turned his body around, still holding onto the hand of Azurel. Turning his body, he kicked the right knee of Azurel.
"Urgh!" Azurel groaned in pain, having his knees shattered. He didn't have healing like Lucifer either. In his anger, he forgot about the mental attack and punched Lucifer.
Boom~
An explosion took place as the fist landed on the armor. Lucifer's armor plate was shattered. The explosions shot lightning everywhere. The pressure blast was enough to toss Lucifer away. It was the same for Azurel, who couldn't stand his ground either.
As his knee was shattered, he couldn't even stand up properly.
"I will kill you!" He roared as his body started transforming, even more, returning to its real form. His skin turned red, just like his red eyes. His hair became longer, coming to his ankles.
He was six feet tall before, but his height was ten feet now. He already had two arms, but two more arms came out from the side of his body, giving him a total of four arms, two on each side.
His legs also became thicker. Still, the shattered bone inside was still broken. He couldn't stand.
Fortunately, he had other ways to engage in the battle. His body started floating up.
"The kid made you change? Not bad for him. He is making you go all out," Licia commented emotionlessly. "Do you want help with your leg?"
"I don't! Don't you dare heal my leg! This is my battle!" Azurel exclaimed fiercely.
Licia lazily stepped back. "As you say."
Lucifer also stood up, frowning. Just one punch had shattered his armor. Not only was his armor shattered, but his chest was also broken. It was only after he had heard that he was able to stand. This guy really had some good strength
"Finally, back to your beastly form?" Lucifer asked. "I was right. No matter how much you pretend to be like us, on the inside, you'll always be a beast!"
The armor started repairing itself, returning to his chest. However, that wasn't the end.
"I will deal with you how a beast should be dealt with!" Lucifer raised his hand towards the sky. A lightning bolt fell from the sky, changing into the form of a Sword before landing in the hands of Lucifer.
The Sword was five feet long, but its width was unlike anything Lucifer had used before. The heavy sword was ten inches wide and as heavy as a stone, weighing a ton despite being made purely of lightning.
" Roarrr!" Azurel roared as he shot toward Lucifer.
The group started splitting apart as the effect of the roar, right around Lucifer. Thousands of hands came out from the cracks, grabbing onto Lucifer.
Lucifer turned the sword upside down and stabbed it in the ground. The lightning coursed through the hands but couldn't stop them. It was as if the hands were immune to the lightning.
As Lucifer was distracted by the beast, Azurel reached him. He spread all four of his hands wide before bringing them together to crush the head of Lucifer into nothingness.
Lucifer tried to pull out the sword and fly back, but the hands not only kept holding onto him but the sword as well.
Lucifer noticed the mocking grin on the ugly looking face of Azurel right before his hands came clapping.
Boom~
