Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 : Predator Mantis and Black Jack

The goons laughed as they looked at fenrir with a greedy expression on their faces but Fenrir herself was getting irritated by their unexpected arrival and annoying appearance

" So let me guess you work for that Announcer guy ? I don't have time to waste with you so piss off " Fenrir said. 

" You're not in any position to give up any orders. Come with us quickly and no one else gets her "

" What ?! "

Fenrir claws grew longer and her weight crushed the ground beneath her feet. They started to shudder under her intimidating presence.

" Looks like you a****les need to be taught a lesson "

She walked towards them when she vanished and a playing card appeared in her place. Eve and everyone else was surprised to see she had vanished right before their eyes. Suddenly the goons were decapitated by an unknown attack. Their bloods sprayed from their necks and painted the wall red and their bodies fell on the ground. The doctor's wife screamed loudly as she noticed some at the door Covered in blood is the Predator Mantis that Arduvan summoned. 

" Hehehehehehehe " It giggled sinisterly. 

In the meantime 

Fenrir suddenly found herself in the forests. She looks at the person hovering in the air above her. It is Black Jack that Arduvan summoned and He was flying in the air using large bat wings. 

- A power level of 10,000 not very strong -

Fenrir thought to herself. 

" Who the hell are you ? " She asked.

Black Jack grabbed his hat and slightly pulled it over his face. 

" My name is Black Jack and I was summoned by Lord Arduvan to kill you " he said.

" Tch, a Lacky of that Elder Lich..... "

Fenrir vanished and reappeared in the air in front of him. 

" Don't intimidate me! "

She punched him so hard he crashed into a mountain 1 kilometer away. Fenrir then looked at her knuckle and became confused. She turned around and noticed Black Jack was behind her. 

" You figured it out now ?"

" What I punched was a block of metal wasn't it ? " Fenrir asks.

" You're correct  " Black Jack reeponds.

He holds up multiple cards in his hand and throws them high into the air. The cards vanished and what appeared in its place was large cubes of metal. The fall from the sky and Fenrir jumped around dodging them with ease. One of them was about to fall of her head and she quickly caught it with her hand.

" I have the ability to replace my cards with an other objects "

Black Jack threw a card on the cure Fenrir was holding up and replaced it with another cute then another then another until there were ten stacks of cubes. Fenrir couldn't handle the weight and tried to hold up with all her strength. Black Jack threw the cards that sliced away Fenrir's muscles. She fell to her knees while still holding up the cubes. 

" Don't worry I won't kill you. My orders was aide in the capture of your master " He said.

" So you brought me here so that I won't get in your way...you're an idiot "

" And why is this? "

" I may have known Lucifer for a short while but what I do know is that he won't let anything stand in his way " Fenrir warned. 

In the meantime. 

Eve rushed between Predator Mantis and Lucifer. 

" I won't let you harm these humans or Lord Lucifer " She said, 

" Step aside woman or I'll slice you to ribbons "

Predator Mantis stepped forward and Eve drew her shortswords. She attacked Predator Mantis who easily blocked her attacks. 

" 「Mirage 」"

Eve stabs at Predator Mantis face with her sword and she defends but the sword was punched into her abdomen. Predator Mantis was surprised and her surprised expression turned to anger. She even hit her face with the back of her scythe arm and sent her flying into the wall. 

"You wounded me you're going to pay for that "

She walked over to Eve and raised her Scythe Arm in the air. Just as she was about to kill Eve, Lucifer grabbed her hand. 

" What when did he? " He asks himself.

The doctor looked at the bed to make sure if that was the same patient that was still unconscious on the bed. Predator Mantis tried her best to break free of Lucifer's grip but she couldn't. 

" Y-you're awake. Well it's no matter, Lord Arduvan sent me to capture you and he said dead or alive. I would much prefer you dead " Predator Mantis said. 

" You want to take me in alive that's amusing but don't worry about you're master because I'm coming for him "

Lucifer opens his left eye and looks at Predator Mantis. She started to shudder under his murderous intent and chopped off her own hand then retreated as fast as she could. Lucifer closed his eyes and threw away the hand of the Predator Mantis like it was garbage.

" Lord " Eve kneels before Lucifer. 

" I have failed to carry out my duties of protecting you. Please grant me any punishment you might have "

" I think you're mistaken Eve.. I'm not your master and you're not my servant. You don't owe me anything so stop with this drama..Now I have to go I've have a bone to pick from that Arduvan "

Lucifer walked over the human corpses and through the door. Eve remained confused by his attitude towards them and followed him. 

" Wait ! " The doctor called out. 

" You came to my home and brought your problems with you. Now my house is covered with dead bodies ! What am I supposed to do now?! " He asked. Eve didn't respond to him but only turned and looked at him. 

In the meantime. 

Fenrir was at her limits trying to hold up the cubes. She was sweating hard and her arms were getting numb. 

- Lucifer you can step in at any time now -

She thought to herself. 

" Your arms will give out and you'll be crushed any second now " Jack said. 

" Shut up you annoying bastard....? "

Fenrir sends a presence coming towards them. It was Predator Mantis running in their direction.

" Predator Mantis ? Why isn't the boy with you? "

Black Jack asks and just as Predator Mantis was about to talk her head was shot clean through by a bullet. 

" Hahahaha, It's bout time "

Fenrir said as she looked at Lucifer walking towards them. He was in his new black and lime green turtleneck bodysuit that he made using his 「 Thread Weaver 」skill. He activates his「Gluttony 」Skill and absorbs the corpse of the Predator Mantis. He then fired ten bullets at the cubes and broke them into pieces. 

" Fenrir "

"Yo what's up "

" You look like crap "

" Hey ! It's not my fault that you went berserk and turned into a half dragon and nearly killed all of us ! "

" I turned into a Half Dragon ?"

Lucifer looks at his Dragon Lord's ring. 

- I don't remember anything after falling unconscious. Is it because of my half dragon blood or the ring? -

Lucifer asks himself. 

" Well it doesn't matter "

His curse appeared and he reappeared behind Black Jack who panicked and quickly turned around. The last thing he saw was a bullet flying through the hole of his mask and shooting off his head. Without any waste Lucifer absorbs him as well. 

- Now his PowerLevel is 15,000 -

Fenrir thought to herself. 

In the meantime. 

Arduvan who sits on his throne under the moonlight waits patiently for his damages to be repaired, His energy to recover and his servants to return. A crack in his skull just repaired and he got impatient. 

" Where are my servants and why are they taking so long? "

He slammed his hand down on the chair. He senses two beings walking. It was Lucifer and Fenrir walking into the light, They stopped right before his throne and looked at him. 

" So you came back, A foolish decision "Arduvan said. 

" I came for a little payback "

Lucifer said. Arduvagot got angry and changed into his most powerful form. Suddenly a scythe, A sword, A Axe, A Sceptre, A black orb and A magic staff appeared in five of his six arms. 

"Aaaahhhh, I will have your soul !" He shouts.

Lucifer wasn't intimidated by the aura emanating off arduvan. 

" Fenrir "

" What's up "

" When my powers went on a rampage, what happened to the darkness ? " Lucifer asks.

" Huh, It kept changing shape and form, Why? "Fenrir asked.

Lucifer's curse mark appeared again and he started to hover his hands in darkness. He grit his teeth as he tried to control its shape. 

- This is harder than I thought, It has to work -

Lucifer continued to move the darkness from his hands and clad his two pistols in it. Now his arms and guns were covered with darkness. 

" Okay, now I'm ready "

" Hahaha, Then let's go "

Fenrir and lucifer charge at Arduvan together
