Chapter 26 - Chapter 26 : Obtaining The Second Fragments

It's been 20 minutes since the battle started. 

Arduvan swings his scythe at fenrir and she leaped over it. Lucifer leaped into the air and fired black bullet at Arduvan who defended with a shield. The five bullets cracked the barrier and this made Arduvan panic. He sends his shadow tentacles at Lucifer and wing a single swing of his foot he break them apart. 

" Have you forgotten about me? " Fenrir asks.

She runs up the handle of the scythe and by the time Arduvan notices he got a punch on the face. Arduvan takes a step back and lucifer tried him off his foot. 

" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh "

Arduvan fall over on his back with a great crash.

" This is Impossible, This is Iiiimpoooossssibleeeeeee "

Arduvan releases his aura in anger,blowing Lucifer and Fenrir away. 

" How could I, the Great Elder Lich Arduvan be backed into a corner ?! It's impossible " He shouts in anger. 

" First time for everything " Fenrir said with a smile 

Her taunts made Arduvan even more angry. He raised his black orb and summoned a monsters to fight for him. An undead Dragon with rotten flesh, exposed bones and glowing eyes.

" GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA "

The dragon roared at Lucifer and Fenrir. 

" Undead Dragon Attack "

Arduvan gave his command to the dragon and Lucifer shot the dragon in its head. Suddenly the dragon stopped walking and the bullet hole inside its head widened revealing a purple crystal in its skull. The crystal breaks and the dragon turns into ashes and vanishes. 

" But how? "

Arduvan couldn't believe that his Dragon was taken down too easily. 

" Enough playing around, Just hurry up and die " Lucifer said 

" Rrrrrr you can't stop me, No one can. I'm going to show you my power "

His weapons disappeared and he started to gather an immense amount of magic in the palm of his six hands. 

" Death ray ! "

Arduvan kept firing beam after beam at Fenrir and lucifer. They run around dodging the beams that rip the ceiling and floor apart. 

" Damn, we can't get close to the guy ! " Fenrir shouts in frustration. Lucifer stopped and took a good look at Arduvan. 

" Fenrir, how close can you get to him? " Lucifer asks. 

" Why do you have a plan? "

Lucifer nods to Fenrir's question and throws a playing card to her. She looked at the card for a second wondering what it meant until she understood what it meant. 

" You sneaky bastard, Alright I'm in "

Fenrir class her body in lightning and runs towards Arduvan dodges his beams. She leaped into the air and runs on the wall then throw the card at Arduvan. 

" What's this card ? A desperate attempt that will ultimately fail " Arduvan said.

" Switch " Lucifer said and one second he was standing at the end of the corridor the next he was right in front of Arduvan face. Arduvan was shocked to see that his Minions technique was being used against him. 

" It's over...Gluttony "

The darkness seeped off Lucifer's arm and swallowed Arduvan. In the bindings of the darkness he tried to break free but couldn't. 

" No, I can't be defeated, I'm an undead, I'm... "

Before he could finish talking he was swallowed by the darkness. Lucifer remained suspended in the air, He could feel all of Arduvan power permeating through his body. All of Arduvan skills was being imprinted on his mind. 「Necromancer 」「Shadow Manipulation 」「Lightning Manipulation 」「Wind Manipulation 」「Mental Attack Resistance 」 「Cold Resistance 」「Lightning Resistance 」 「 Wind Resistance 」

Fenrir only the ground could feel lucifer power increasing tremendously. She could see his number increase from powerlevel 15000 to 33,500. Lucifer lands on the ground discharging black lightning from his body. 

" Looks like you won " Fenrir said as she walked over to him. 

" I didn't defeat him alone. Hm "

Lucifer turned his head and looked behind the throne as he sensed something. The two walk behind over to the wall and Lucifer places his hand in it. 

" What's wrong Lucifer? "

"There is something behind this wall "

" What, I don't see any entr... "

Before Fenrir could finish talking Lucifer punches the wall open. Behind the collapsed wall was a mountain of gold, diamonds and other treasures.

" Woah check it out " She said.

They walked in the room and looked at all the treasures. 

" We could live off this treasure for a very long time "Fenrir said. 

Lucifer wasn't interested in the gold. He was most looking at the swords and other weapons. After absorbing Arduvan he noticed that he gain some intriguing new abilities such as 「Weapons Expert 」with this skill he can use any weapons at the expert level, 「Magecraft 」allows him to cast spells without incantation and 「Magic Affinity 」allows him to study any type of magic 10 times faster than the average Caster. Lucifer took up a book that was sitting in the pile of Gold and one the cover it said [ Grimoire of Necromancy ]

- I guess since I have the necromancer skill I can study the book. Maybe I can learn some new spells.. Hm? -

Lucifer noticed that the eyes of his Dragon Lord's Ring were glowing and it was guiding him towards a wall. Lucifer sensed something behind the wall and shot it over and over until a red box buried in the wal. 

" The key fragment "

He dug the box out of the gold and look at it. The eyes of his ring glowed again and the locks in the box open. Lucifer open the box and found another piece of fragment inside. 

" Two down, 11 more to go, " Fenrir said.

After Lucifer cleared out the treasure he placed it inside his ring. Under the light of the moonlight he reads the book. Fenrir was sitting on the handle of the chair beside Lucifer looking in his book. 

" So where to next? " Fenrir asks.

" The hero then reached The Kingdom of the Giants, so that's our next destination " Lucifer responds.

" Oh really, Giants are a warrior-like race who train and fight to become the best of the best. They're also skilled in Earth Manipulation. I wouldn't mind fighting one of them, " Fenrir said. 

Lucifer takes out a map of the Continent of Manchester. 

" This map says we have to cross the Lands of the Lamia to get there "

" Lamia's territory ?! " Fenrir shouts in shocks and lucifer was confused. 

" Is something the matter? "

" Why don't we just go around their lands? Yeah, I think it would be much better to enjoy the trip  when it's longer " Fenrir said,

" That's not possible, it's a long way around to the Kingdom of the Giants. It's best if we go through Lamia's territory. Is there any power predator there that you're afraid of? " Lucifer asks. 

" No. wherever you go I go remember "

Fenrir said with a smile and Lucifer continued reading. Fenrir looks at him and couldn't help but get nervous. 

- I have a bad feeling about this -

She thought to herself. The two of them suddenly sensed a presence walking towards them. 

" Looks like Eve has returned... What the? "

Fenrir was surprised to see Eve walking into the moonlight. Eve made an overwhelming transformation. Instead of her black outfit she is wearing a maids uniform, her hair is shinier and her lips glisten under the moonlight. Lucifer and Fenrir silently watch as she gets closer to them and kneels down before Lucifer.

"Eve what happened to you? " Fenrir asked. 

" My lord,Please allow me to serve you as your personal maid ? " Eve asked.
