Chapter 856: Overdrive
Lucifer also knew that the only thing this man cared about was getting out of this prison. That meant that Lucifer was important for this cause for him.
Licorice had already destroyed so many people dear to him. They were dead because of him. And Milena was also dead because of this Lucifer and him. He couldn't care any less for these two people. If hurting Lucifer could stop Licorice and make him regret messing with him, what could be better?
Lucifer clenched his fist, destroying the heart of the other Lucifer, crushing it to nothing.
Even though he knew that Lucifer could come back to life with healing through, he still chose to do this to mess with Licorice. Moreover, this could keep Lucifer out of this battle for a little while.
After killing the white robed Lucifer, he tossed the body aside and teleported to Salazar. At the same time, Licorice ran to the other Lucifer, checking if he was alive. Unfortunately, he could only see a dead Lucifer for now.
Enraged, he glared back at Lucifer with blood covered eyes. The entire Dungeon started trembling under his rage.
Lucifer helped Salazar up, commanding him to take Milena's bodies back since it was unclear if his body could heal her or not.
"What about him?" Salazar asked, frowning.
"Decaying my other self has given me some energy. I should be able to fight him and keep him busy. You'll only be a distraction here! Run!" Lucifer commanded before standing up.
He saw Licorice standing mere inches away from him. "I will kill you for this interference!"
Licorice extended his hands towards the neck of Lucifer, only to find that this Lucifer was nothing but an illusion. A cold hand grabbed his neck from the back.
Lucifer grabbed Licorice and flew up, hitting the head of Licorice on the roof with a smash. He still didn't leave Licorice as he pulled him down, smashing his back with his knees.
Unfortunately, for his knees, it was as if he had hit an iron plate. There was no effect on Licorice, but there was certainly an effect on his knees, which started hurting even more.
Lucifer's hands turned into claws which he stabbed in the chest of the man; however, even his claws couldn't penetrate that thick skin.
In the meantime, Salazar picked up Milena and ran out of the room, running without aim. The room was vacated.
Licorice was caught in surprise; however, he had regained his senses as he grabbed the hair of Lucifer and flew back. Since Lucifer was behind him, he smashed his back against the wall, hurting Lucifer in the process.
Lucifer called forth a lightning knife in his hand, thrusting it towards the neck of the man. The knife smashed to pieces, unable to penetrate. Licorice kept hitting Lucifer again and again.
At the same time, Lucifer also kept calling his knife, again and again, stabbing the same spot. He didn't care how many times the knife shattered. All he cared about was hurting Licorice once, so he could create an opening. At the same time, he kept his other hand on the skin of Licorice, letting his decay work.
Unfortunately, that didn't look as easy. Despite being evolved, his lightning was still bound by the laws of this world. Meanwhile, Licorice was an evolved life form himself who possessed a strength that broke mortal bounds. That's why he was trapped in this Dungeon, unable to step foot on earth for an eternity. Moreover, the decay was also ineffective.
The strength Lucifer had wasn't enough. He also needed to have strength that broke mortal bounds, but he didn't have enough abilities to evolve his lightning anymore. He had to work with what he had.
After a long time, Lucifer finally had some success with his lightning bolt as he noticed a minute scratch near the next of Licorice. Even though it was just a scratch, it proved that he was on the right track. He conjured another knife. However, this time it didn't go as he planned.
Licorice grabbed the wrist of Lucifer and pulled him ahead, thrashing him onto the ground. At the same time, he stomped on his chest, crushing the ribs of Lucifer.
"You small pest, just because I didn't kill you, you think you can dance on my head?!" Licorice roared as he kept stomping on Lucifer.
Lucifer's vision started getting blurry under the brutal attacks as he started feeling that maybe he truly was too weak to win. Most of his abilities weren't working in this place, and the ones that were working were too weak to hurt Licorice. What could he even do?
His eyes slowly closed; however, his mind was still active.
Seeing Lucifer's eyes closed, Licorice stopped.
He raised his hand towards the sky. A small Portal opened above him. Licorice entered his hand inside the portal and brought out a beautiful white sword. "Let us end this chapter for an eternity!"
He placed the sword on the neck of Lucifer.

Salazar kept running with Milena, getting tired himself. He noticed a door on his left that they had seen when they were coming after Licorice. They hadn't checked the room before since Lucifer already knew where Licorice and the other Lucifer were. However, now that he was tired, this place looked to be the safest to rest.
It was better to rest in this place than resting in an open hallway.
He kicked the door open before barging inside the room.
"This seems to be some kind of storage room..." He muttered, observing the surroundings. "I also see the stuff they took from us here."
He placed Milena on the ground and walked to his bags. As they were sent here on a mission, they had brought a lot of items with them, including food. However, they were captured, and they were brought here. Their items were taken from them as well.
However, more than his items, he was stunned at the other things that were here. There were bags here that looked to be decades old. Near those bags, he could see a sword that was covered in the dust yet seemed ordinary.
For him, that sword was the most important item here since that was what Lucifer wanted him to find!
~~~
In another room, the sword of Licorice came crashing down on Lucifer's neck.
Lucifer, who seemed to have given up, slowly opened his eyes, seeing the sword coming toward him.
His lips moved, forming only one word that came out of his mouth. However, that one word was enough to change everything. "Overdrive…"
