Chereads / The Affinity For Darkness / Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 : Rampage

Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 : Rampage

Lucifer remained suspended in the air with half of his body covered in darkness that kept growing and becoming scales . His four eyes were dark and empty discharging lightning here and there. 

" Fenrir what's going on ?!" Eve asked. 

" I don't know it's the first time I'm seeing him like this..Lucifer!  Snap out of it! "

Fenrir called out but she didn't get any responses from him. Suddenly the darkness moved to both of his hands and took the shape of two large dragon lands. Their palms, claws and the area between the scales was lime green and everything else was jet black. Arduvan stood to his feet again and looked at Lucifer. 

" Such power, I have to obtain it at all.... "

Before he could finish talking he received an uppercut from Lucifer sending him flying through the ceiling and out of the tomb with that single punch . The darkness on Lucifer's arms changed form into two large dragon wings and he flew through the hole in the ceiling in the blink of an eye . Soon after it caved in over Eve's head and she closed her eyes expecting to be crushed to death.  She opened her eyes once again and found herself standing unfed the belly of a large white wolf. 

" Fenrir, Is that you ?! "

[[ Yeah it's me... Not time to waist around we gave to stop Lucifer's rampage ]]

" Right "

Fenrir took off running through the tomb with Eve on her back. The ceiling of the tomb was collapsing behind them. 

In the meantime. 

Arduous who was falling from the sky started to fly. He was miles away from his tomb to where Lucifer punched him from and he reset his dislocated jaw

" That boy has immense power, with his soul alone my evolution to Undead King will be achieved.. Huh "

Arduvan looks up at the sky. Suddenly a hole was punctured into the clouds as Lucifer came flying in. He comes down with a flying kick and Arduvan dodges it. Lucifer crashed into the ground like a meteoroid and destroyed the forest within a 400 meter radius. Arduvan started to laugh and transformed. Six skeleton arms grew from his side,three more skulls appeared and his body became three times larger. His power level has been risen to 45,000.

" You can't stop me, Let me devour you ! " He shouts. 

Lucifer looked at him silently and changed the darkness on his arms from wings to dragon claws. He flew up to Arduvan and started to punch him at rapid speed. As he kept fighting the darkness continued to become scales, large dragon wings appeared on his back and a long hair appeared at his waist. Little by little he was changing into a dragon. Arduvan summoned a scythe in his upper right arm and struck Lucifer away. He then looked at the blade of the scythe as it was cracked and he looked at Lucifer. Most of the darkness moved from all over Lucifer's body and gathered together at his neck.

" I see, the darkness shifted and protect you from my attack  He said. 

" 「Death Ray」"

Arduvan fired off a magic beam at Lucifer and with a swing of his tail he struck the magic away that burned a large hole through a mountain. Lucifer flew out into the air and changed his right claw into a scythe and swung it Arduvan slicing his body in two. 

Fenrir was running towards the battlefield as fast as she could. She suddenly saw a black vertical line coming towards and she quickly jumped away. It was an attack caused by the swing of Lucifer's scythe. Fenrir panicked as she looked at the mountain and the ground that was split in two. 

[[ Lucifer's power is growing stronger by the second, We have to move fast ! ]]

She rushed over as fast as she could. 

In the meantime the dark space of Lucifer's mind blossomed before the shadow before him. 

" Just as I thought, Without masters conscious mind to suppress it. his dark powers are out of control . Don't worry master I won't let anything happen to you " She said, 

Lucifer continued to change, He grew horns from his head. Soon arduvan was overwhelmed by Lucifer's power level of 52,000. Lucifer punches Arduvan into the ground and he throws barrages of punches just like what Fenrir did to Mohan. Arduvan screamed in pain as he was mercilessly being beaten when suddenly out of nowhere Fenrir headbutt Lucifer away. 

[[  Lucifer you need to calm down ! ]]

She called out him then returned to her Human form. Lucifer didn't recognize her, one second he was standing there and the next he sliced her in two across the waist and continue running towards Arduvan. Even Fenrir and Eve were surprised as they didn't see the attack coming. Lucifer swings down his hand at Arduvan who quickly vanishes from there. Lucifer tilted his head in confusion and suddenly Fenrir grabbed him from behind her and lower body was already attached to her upper body.

" Lucifer's calm down, we're only trying to help...."

Before she could finish talking she was skewered through the neck by the sharp tip of Lucifer's tail. He also blew away her hands and flew off into the air. Suddenly he stopped flying and held his head with both his hands. The darkness on his body slowly vanishes. 

" What's happening? " Eve asked. 

Fenrir looked at Lucifer and noticed that the gem inside the ring blossom gave him was glowing. Then and there she knew that blossom was behind this. The darkness returned to the curse mark on Lucifer's neck and it disappeared. He fall from the sky and Fenrir caught him in her arms.

" Don't worry he's okay now " She said with a smile. 

Back at the Spirit Tree.

Blossom opens her eyes and looked at the darkness in her hand that vanish. 

" Master's powers are growing at an abnormal rate, it's only a matter of time before he becomes...  I have to be by my master's side as soon as possible " She said, 

In the meantime Arduvan retreated to his tomb. He sits on his throne under the light of the moon. 

" The power of Darkness, It's stronger than I predict..「Summon my minion : Black Jack and Predator Mantis 」"

Two magic circles appear before him. A man in a black and white suit and hat appeared. He with a white smiling face mask and white gloves. On the other magic circle a humanoid female shaped mantis appeared with wings and the face of a human but the hands of a mantis claw. 

" Go and bring me that boy's soul by any means necessary "

" Lord ! "

" Lord! 

The two vanished in the night. 

In the meantime. 

Fenrir, who was in wolf form, rushed through the forest with Lucifer laying on her back. He was unconscious and Eve was attending to him. Fenrir leaped over a river and continued running towards the human town. 

[[ There it is up ahead ]]

After turning back into a human she rushed over a clinic and open the door. 

" Doctor ! Where is the doctor ?! " She shouts.

A man in a robe rushed out along with his wife. Later that night they brought Lucifer to a room and checked on him. Fenrir impatiently watched as the doctor checked his temperature then used a stethoscope to check his body.

" Dear god! "

The doctor was shocked by what he was hearing. 

" Why what's the matter ?! " Fenrir asks. 

" This boy has five hearts ...I've never seen anything like this ! "

" Is that true? " His wife asked 

" I'm telling the truth and they seem to be working in such perfect harmony " 

" That's not important right now, lord Lucifer isn't waving, can you explain to us ?" Eve asked.

" Don't worry he's fine, He's just a unconscious " The doctor said, 

Suddenly Fenrir senses footsteps coming up the stairs and she quickly stands on guard. The door kicked open and sending before them was five goons. 

" Who are you and what do you want? " The doctor ask. 

" Don't worry doctor, we aren't here for you. We are here for a prize, the werewolf here " Says a guy who points his sword at fenrir.
